"American medicine has entered the precision era. Too much of our insurance system is still operating on dial-up.

Every October Washington congratulates itself for promoting breast cancer awareness. Television anchors remind women to schedule their mammograms. Professional athletes wear pink. Everyone agrees that early detection saves lives. They're right. But here's the part almost nobody talks about. A mammogram isn't a diagnosis. It's the beginning of one."

"For years, people with ME/CFS have been told their crushing brain fog is essentially imaginary. Turns out it's measurable on an MRI. A study from Griffith University's National Centre for Neuroimmunology and Emerging Diseases, published in Frontiers in Neuroscience in July 2026, has produced the first direct imaging evidence that the brain's waste-clearance system — the glymphatic system — is impaired in ME/CFS patients. Think of it as your brain's overnight janitorial crew. In ME/CFS, that crew isn't showing up for the shift."

Brain Scans Reveal Why ME/CFS Causes Brain Fog ME/CFS brain fog is measurable on an MRI - new research links impaired glymphatic waste clearance to sleep disruption and cognitive decline.

"The majority of MRI scanners require about 1,500 liters of liquid helium to operate, but geopolitical unrest is putting severe strain on the helium supply chain, potentially reducing access to lifesaving scans.

The supply shock began in March when Iranian missile strikes shut down Qatar’s Ras Laffan Industrial City, which produces roughly 30% of the world’s helium.1 In response, helium prices doubled2 and U.S. distributors began rationing supplies.3"
