Most Commented Health Blogs (955)

Parting shot, I have to go, I may be in love, too early to tell yet I guess. And this site is sooooo addictive, compulsive even, so I'm off for a while, to work and talk to my new (potential) love, who is not on this site. And for those who bemoan the apparent fact that there is no one in their area. New girl is four thousand miles away from me and doesn't even speak the same language. She found me, I wasn't even looking in her direction.
So Toilet death. Somebody should have told Elvis about this!
Although it doesn't get much press (for obvious reasons), a disproportionately high number of people (usually older men who are in high risk categories for heart disease) die on the toilet. This is at least partly due to problems some older men have with constipation. Although this causes them to generally spend longer on the toilet, that's not the problem. The problem is that people in this situation tend to "push" harder and longer than they should in what is effectively Valsalva's manoeuvre. This added pressure on the intestines and colon corresponds to an added pressure in the abdominal and thoracic cavities. The vena cava, (major veins leading back to the heart) are normally "held open" by the "negative pressure" (lower than atmospheric... the same reason a hole in the chest wall can kill you so quickly). When the pressure increases it pinches the vena cava closed and the blood can no longer go back to the heart. Consequently, the barroreceptors which measure blood pressure on the arterial side of the heart, notice a drop in pressure (due to the fact that blood is no longer being pumped) and so they trigger a "sympathetic response" that causes blood pressure to spike. The combination of blood pressure spiking (which can lead to stroke or other problems) and lack of blood being pumped to the heart (which starves the heart for oxygen and eventually can trigger a heart attack and/or heart failure).
The rule is don't push, Cough! Not because the toilet door lock is broken but because it has the same expulsion effect without the risk of killing ones-self.

Bye for now kids, be good while I'm gone and no bickering.

Being a member on CS does have it's benefits, but I never imagined that I would have my own fan club. At first, I started deleting comments of personal attacks. I changed my mind and allowed them to remain. To my surprise, a moderator for CS came by, removed the offensive comments and left a calling card they had stopped by!
I'm okay with that...
So if it's your MO ( that's modus operandi in detective talk ) to drop a turd on my blog... be my guest!

As I sat down on my couch tired and exhausted I still felt like I am not still home but just thanked God I am home and safe feeling not alright thinking of those
patients suffering from symptoms and hoping and praying tests will be negative of this COVID - 19
Iloveu all keep safe

Before this virus...well...even during it....there are people who attack other people. dem vs rep rich vs poor....the list just goes on and on and on and on.....


Ironic though....

This virus is reported to set our immune system in hyper mode, where it actually attacks ourselves.

I came across an interesting story today about anxi-vaxxers using the drug Ivermectin to treat or prevent COVID-19.

According to the FDA, Ivermectin, is generally used to treat or prevent parasites in animals. It's NOT an anti-viral drug and it is highly concentrated to be used on large animals like horses and cows. High doses of this drug is/can be toxic to humans.

One manufacturer warned people it's not to be used to treat or prevent COVID-19. But that doesn't stop people from going to the feed store and buying some!

Mississippi poison control has seen a rise in calls of people using Ivermectin obtained from livestock supply. While there is a formula of Ivermectin intended for humans it's a totally different grade and not found in the same place you buy cowbells.

Mooove over. I need some Ivermectin.

I do like that logic. Be fearful of a vaccine and rush to get medicine used to rid cows of parasites.


I selected the blog category of 'health' because 'stoopid' wasn't available.

Tomorrow is the first Sunday in Advent, usually I play a very active part in this celebration at church...carry the Cross, or a candle, or helping to give out the Holy Communion etc. This year, I decided not to partake in anything, just attend church as usual. Last week, I got an e-mail from one of the priests, asking if I wanted to be a part of the Christmas play at church, as more people were needed I agreed to do so, as I'm off from work all next week.

Now I know why I decided not to be a part of the usual sunday Christmas celebrations at church. Since the end of october, I've been battling with a cold, it became better, but never left, the past week, it got worse, so much so, that last night I hardly slept because I was coughing so much. I had an appointment at the hospital this afternoon (if I had cancelled it, I would have had to wait another 3 or more months for a new appointment), before entering the waiting room at the hospital, I decided to put on a face mask. I'm glad I did, because the technician who was assigned to me is pregnant. After leaving the hospital, I kept on the mask, went to a pharmacy to get my usual medicines, as well as something for a cold, and decided to buy a Covid-19 test also.

Turns out I have Covid, now I know why I didn't want to partake in the Christmas celebrations at church. It's always good to trust your intuition. I'm not sad about having Covid, and don't expect any sympathy, just thought I'd write about it.

Trials involving 500 people in the UK given a vaccine developed by Oxford University produced BOTH
antibodies and T-cell reactions. Antibodies help in the shorter term, but a T cell reaction may give protection for over a year. Phase 3 trials will be undertaken soon depending upon the results to that, the vaccine may be ready to distribute to the public as early as September or October.
This is the first vaccine for protection against Covid-19 that has shown both antibody & T cell responses.

The full details of the study should be available later today.

Hi guys! This is a recount of my experience when I became positive of Covid even with vaccination 2 weeks prior.

Monday. It was a normal day, there wasn't even a lot of work. But I couldn’t control my sleepiness throughout the day. And the nagging pain in the middle point in my back I thought was just caused by the cold. I also felt really lazy, but I shrugged it off and pushed myself to do extra work just so I can forget about being sleepy.

Tuesday. Same thing, uncontrollable sleepiness, and back pain. This time I just gave in to laziness and did only what i had to do that day. Cough started, not severe, but noticeable. I was weak and despite everybody complaining of being hot, i was cold even when i have jacket on. I got home after work and slept early. At around 11pm, i was shaking. With very high fever. I think i was shaking for more than an hour. But at 1am I just got up and drank hot water. And sent my colleague a text that I will not make it to work in the morning.

Wednesday. I went to the employee physician and she ordered swabbing for covid. I was already taking meds so, the doctor said to just continue with the meds. I took a swab and went home to isolate as per policy. I was not feeling good. So I just slept. I had fever and chills again around 1am.

Thursday. The report came in Positive. I was kind of expecting it because I never had chills before when I get fever. Also the sick feeling is so different than I’ve ever experienced before.

Friday. Nausea. I tried my best to pour out whatever is trying to get out from my guts, but they just wouldn’t go. And the bitter taste in my mouth stays no matter how many times I brush and gargle. But no more fever and cough has subsided. Thank God.

Hopefully I will have a full recovery soon.
Be safe everyone.

FAA’s diversity push includes focus on hiring people with ‘severe intellectual’ and ‘psychiatric’ disabilities

The Federal Aviation Administration is actively recruiting workers who suffer “severe intellectual” disabilities, psychiatric problems and other mental and physical conditions under a diversity and inclusion hiring initiative spelled out on the agency’s website.

“Targeted disabilities are those disabilities that the Federal government, as a matter of policy, has identified for special emphasis in recruitment and hiring,” the FAA’s website states. “They include hearing, vision, missing extremities, partial paralysis, complete paralysis, epilepsy, severe intellectual disability, psychiatric disability and dwarfism.”

“Do you want to fly in an airplane where they prioritized DEI hiring over your safety?,” tech billionaire Elon Musk wrote on X last week. “That is actually happening.”

I say, flying could become a lot more fun in the future.
Is it a bird?
Is it a plane?
Is it superman?

Who cares?

Life is short, enjoy while you can.

Say it’s 2014 and you’ve had this idea for a technocratic great reset of the world economy for some time now, but it only works if the entire planet is rocked by a pandemic. How do you go about selling your idea?

“The pandemic represents a rare but narrow window of opportunity to reflect, reimagine, and reset our world to create a healthier, more equitable, and more prosperous future”
— Klaus Schwab, WEF

If you are World Economic Forum (WEF) Founder Klaus Schwab, you attempt to sell your vision of a global Utopia via a great reset of the world order in three simple steps:

- Announce your intention to revamp every aspect of society with global governance, and keep repeating that message

- When your message isn’t getting through, simulate fake pandemic scenarios that show why the world needs a great reset

- If the fake pandemic scenarios aren’t persuasive enough, wait a couple months for a real global crisis to occur, and repeat step one

It took Schwab and the Davos elite about six years to watch their great reset ideology grow from a tiny Swiss seed in 2014 to a European super-flower pollinating the entire globe in 2020.


If you ask me, between Fauci, Big Pharma, the Deep Staters, the Eugenicists and the Chinese Communists:
they made it and released it.

EVENT 201 and Captain Kirk's "Coming Catastrophic Event."

Event 201... Can you imagine world leaders meeting to discuss how to prevent a virus outbreak that can kill 65 million people, 3 months prior?

Did you know that Bill Gates predicted that 33 million people can die from Coronavirus in 250 days? Exactly!

In October 2019, Bill Gates and other world leaders (including Whitehouse officials), were part of an event called “Event 201.” Moreover, the event was held by John Hopkins Centre for Health Security.

Well-known pharmaceutical giants and Pentagon leaders discussed the effects of a virus that could eliminate 60 million people in 18 months.

Only two people can make such accurate predictions, either Nostradamus or the person who created the virus.
