EGFR is critical to the development of organs including the lung in the healthy fetus. It plays an important role in precisely regulated cell growth and differentiation in the developing embryo. Later in life, excess abdominal fat increases angiotensin II and aldosterone leading to increased oxidant production which activates EGFR. Cigarette smoke persistently
As a "recovering" hypochondriac, I enjoy reading your daily reports. I see my personal health history in them. First, I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes 27 years ago. I was stunned by the diagnosis in that for my height (6'2") I was relatively thin (195 or so). BUT, I had a gut that I noticed in photos of myself. Then, 22 years ago, I was diagnosed with non-hodgkins lymphoma. FInally, about three years ago, I was diagnosed with CKD.
About that time, I was prescribed to take Invokana and Trulicity. Then, the pandemic hit and I started playing tennis at least 5 days a week. Along with the Invokana and Trulicity, I lost 30 pounds, so now I'm 162#'s...and my gut is gone (mostly). And, I'm still playing at least three days a week (more as soon as it warms up).
My point being that the OMT for treating diabetes which includes treating for CKD and heart disease works at least anecdotally in my case as my numbers are working! I've been prescribed the right drugs before I ever knew of the OMT which makes me comfortable when reading your posts.
I love this! We share a fair amount of history. I am prediabetic and I had non-hodgkins lymphoma. It sounds like you are doing a great job of preserving your health. Keep up the good work.
