Dr RR Baliga's Philosophical Discourses: Pyrrho (Greece, c. 360–270 BCE) – Founder of Pyrrhonism
Dr. Baliga's 'Got Knowledge Doc?' PODKASTS
Pyrrho of Elis (c. 360–270 BCE) was an ancient Greek philosopher and founder of Pyrrhonism, a school of philosophical skepticism. He advocated for epoché (suspension of judgment) as a path to ataraxia (peace of mind). Influenced by his travels to India with Alexander the Great, Pyrrho believed that nothing could be definitively known and that by refraining from beliefs, one could achieve tranquility. His teachings laid the foundation for later skeptical thought in philosophy and medicine.
info_outlineNot all salts are created equal! 🧂 Sodium chloride raises blood pressure and harms the heart 😈, while sodium bicarbonate may protect kidneys and improve outcomes in CKD/HF patients 🛡️🫀.
Chloride channels (CLICs) play a hidden but vital role in heart health 🔌❤️.
We need large RCTs 🧪📊 to guide smarter, personalized salt strategies for better cardiovascular care 🎯🌍.
