J&J Knew for decades that asbestos lurked in baby powder, but kept it a secret from the public
Recently 3 court findings have shed light on this situation resulting in potentially many thousands of people getting either ovarian cancer or mesothelioma. Below is the start of a report from Reuters. I also included a link, for those who would li
All I Want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth...
There's a song about that I'm sure. End of the year I still had some insurance money on a dental plan, so I got a chipped tooth repaired this morning!
STILL In the Race to be THIN
Getting older hasn’t been kind to me. I had to mark “large” on my profile otherwise I’d be lying. The problem lies in my caloric intake...I end up with the same or more than I intended to eat in a given day. It’s been robbing me of my confidence and
One tenth of one percent...
0.01% sounds like a small amount. It's the amount of Sodium Benzoate found in many canned drinks. According to Drugs dot com, "Sodium Benzoate is an antimicrobial preservative and flavoring agent used in the food industry and a tablet and capsule lub
Why can't I lose weight
Simple formula Think as your body as a car The gas tank is your energy/fat stores The faster you drive the more energy you need The bigger your tank the further you can travel without needing more fuel If you don't drive fast you don
Wood stick Q-TIPS...
Q-TIPS is a brand name for cotton swabs. I've tried different brands and always return to Q-TIPS. A generation ago they made them with wooden sticks. The wood was replaced with a plastic tube but the cotton on the tube didn't stick well and white pap
Botox pumping parties...
Every year or so I read a story about someone who had a bad reaction to Botox lip injections where they have puffed up lips that required surgery to correct. The one I saw this week was similar, but the woman was lucky and quickly received medical tr
MRI
Anyone had one ? What part of your body and did you have any strange sensations or unusual reactions/side effects
The condition my condition is in.
One week ago today I got the beginning stages of pneumonia. I suspect, that I got infected from the combination of a handshake between myself and another photographer I met, while photographing a female wild bald eagle, and the fact t
Yesterday I had my fun. I'm paying for it today.
The camera I have been using for the past 3 years is a Canon 700D. It's been an excellent camera and I have sold nature pictures worldwide. But, I figure that it was time to buy myself a Christmas present and do an upgrade to a 750D. While there's
Allopathic/osteopathic medicines....
Sure, they have their places, in the right caring and trusted hands. Especially over the past decades with more knowledge of the immune and inflamatory reasons for illness, much of which we create ourselves, with lifestyles literally to die for. Ve
Winter darkness.....feeling down.....
here in the northern latitudes, especially with the time changes, seems to get some folks blue. The old timers here call it "cabin fever"; modern term is seasonal affective disorder. Esquimos call some of it Amok, although their flavor often involve
Ebola....
Spreading on the dark continent, once again, in spite of a marginally effective vaccine, which ain't easy to use. Storage/transport issues, and the usual religious/cultural public health barriers there. If it ever comes to our more civilised advance
Dealing With Stress
Although I'd promised myself to do more walking, this morning found me out on my bike again. As it wasn't raining or windy, I chose to hop on my bike and do my usual 9 mile circuit. As usual, the not raining lasted only until it started getting light
A Long Haul
As rain becomes our weather forecast du jour, I've traded in my bike for my hiking boots. Not that I'm hiking, per se, just out walking, but they're comfortable and relatively waterproof. The other day, I walked the entire dike and back, not knowi
Our Brilliant President Donald J. Trump.....
Have to admit, this latest in the long string of well overdue and awesome ideas/accomplishments may be too intelligent even for our dear leader and wise hero. But I'll also take the wisdom of listening to wise advisors. A challenge to the much abuse
I'll Miss Sears
I went shopping at the Sears in North Hollywood last week and I'm not sure why. I hadn't shopped at a Sears in years (yes, I know that rhymes) but something drew me in. Maybe it was nostalgia or maybe it was an act of defiance in this age of 'techono
Old school doctors...
It's been a while since I had a doctor older than me. The guy I used to go to for 20 years was a pain sometimes. Every year was a physical that included the reflex mallet and pressing around my abdomen. Once, the blood work came back with some abnorm
Simple way to fight Cancer
I saw this in my newsfeed today, just thought to share with you guys...
You are so.......plastic !
Cancer has several causes. One is radiation, including sunlight. It causes crosslinking of molecules, such as proteins, RNA & DNA. However, it is not the only root of cancer. What we breathe and eat are likely more contributory. Some items are
whiplash...
Sometimes I sneeze so hard I get whiplash! After lunch I decided to get out of the office for a few minutes. Sitting in my car with the temperature around 90 degrees farenheit listening to music. That was enough to blast a neck breaking sneeze.
TDS Has Reached Epidemic Proportions!

Getting Used to Retirement
Well, that was a waste of time and gas this morning. I was up at 5:15am, made my lunch, heated up some soup, filled my thermos, made breakfast and had a quick cuppa before heading out at 6:45am. It was clear here, with high clouds and sunny patch
I recently fell all the way upstairs
I remember tripping over the first step and then a few bumps and thumps, and the next thing I knew, I was laid out at the top of the stairs, wondering what happened. Things like this don’t usually happen so I knew I had been involved in a very out o
That's a Wrap!
Waking to smokey skies yet again, I decided to head out to another community to ride my bike, hopefully under clear skies. I'm beyond fed up with the smoke this year, and am seriously considering selling my house and moving to Panama if this is going
Soup's On!
Monday night at the BBQ for the executive for photo club, I indulged in a half cup of coffee. Oh yeah, not a good thing. I got home about 11pm, totally wired and awake. Rather than lay in bed and toss and turn, I grabbed my camera gear and headed out
Unzipped
Don't you love it when you find you can put more into a day? Due to my low iron count, my ability to cram my day full has been severely compromised. I had no idea why I was falling asleep all the time and had so little energy to do even the simplest
Interacting
Turns out that communicating with others literally affects our health more than diet, exercise, even our addictions. Seeing my interaction in Spain mainly consists of a cheery 'hola!' and cheesy grin while I'm marching my dog round the streets,
Dreaded Phone Calls
One of the most dreaded phone calls you get are from the doctor's office after you've had a battery of tests. Friday I went in to have all my blood work done and whatever other tests he'd recommended. Yesterday morning I got a call that the docto
Smoking and its benefits
I am inspired to write this blog because a friend of mine told me that there are indeed known benefits for being a smoker. He said and I quote: It calms him down and that is a very good benefit. I respect that. Note: I lost 3 good friends
Evacuation Alert
Waking to the acrid smell of smoke and the *tic*, *tic*, *tic* of the blinds against the window sill, I dreaded what today would bring. The wildfire burning only 6 miles from me continues to rage in steep terrain, making it difficult for firef
Zucchini, Biking, and More Zucchini!
Today's 'D' day - or better known as the day I return to my doctor for him to give me a physical and check my blood pressure readings. Fortunately, for the most part, my blood pressure has been 'normal' - spiking only when I ate some liquorice. I kne
For those cursed with alcoholism
A song for you.
Life's Wake Up Calls
After 12 long years, I finally have a family doctor. It isn't that I haven't received medical care, I have. I just haven't had a family doctor due to a shortage, so it was wonderful to meet the new doctor in my community and be taken on as a patient.

Women and men.....doctors....
After the US civil war, few records tell of lady physicians are found. Just after the First World War, women (and some fellas) opened the first medical college for women, in Pennsylvanis. The rest is history, if a slow one. Up until 30 years ago, wom
Cesarian sections vs. natural births........
Reading this doggie home health tome, mostly for knowing Bravo better, and seeing the differences betwen species out of curiosity. Next will read a cat one, then perhaps the spider medical book. Almost done, and they are discussing assisting in puppy

Men and women....... Between the sheets....
Or on the grass, sand or kitchen counter..... Young or older. I've always, at every stage of life, prefered the maturity and knowledge of older women. I know some men prefer much younger females. Perhaps having a young thing on one's arm has its meri
The end
Apparently, just before the World ends, we are all going to get sucked off. Stringman kept quiet about that.
