Most Commented Health Blogs (955)

What are the reasons behind this common human (and animal) behavior? Reading my blogs and posts, of course, will automatically do so, as with other tedious experiences. But sleepiness, cold, fear, and much else seems to bring them on. And they can certainly spread in a group of people, almost anywhere. Many animals yawn as well. And there are reports if interspecies yawning. Sometimes when presenting an errudire technical scientific argument to Bravo, he just looks lovingly at me, and lets go a huge noisy yawn. Tames my thoughts of self importance in a New York minute. Aa.

13 years ago...I was at an all time high, I suppose you could say.. ....just looking at an old blog of mine from 2016 where I had lost about 80lbs or so since 2009 ...and since then, I have just put it in the back of my mind until I did some looking back and now it's like 13 years later and I'm still keeping it off...surprised myself Progress is progress, though. I know I'll never be thin....but I'm happy where I'm at and at 50 now, I can't complain

Im quite worried after receiving a message on whatsapp. Why do people do this???
I copied and pasted the message below.

*All Vaccinated people will die within 2 years*

Nobel Prize Winner Luc Montagnier has confirmed that there is no chance of survival for people who have received any form of the vaccine. In the shocking interview, the world's top virologist stated blankly: "there is no hope, and no possible treatment for those who have been vaccinated already. We must be prepared to incinerate the bodies." The scientific genius backed claims of other pre eminent virologists after studying the constituents of the vaccine. "They will all die from antibody dependent enhancement. Nothing more can be said."


Maybe its just a sick joke cause I've had my shot.

The Luegenmedia is following the CCP Party Line that the epidemic will be resurging with a Delta Variant.

Of course they knew there would be complications from the Jab. This Nobel Prize winner tells us why:



While it is understood that viruses mutate, causing variants, French Virologist and Nobel Prize Winner Luc Montagnier contends that “it is the vaccination that is creating the variants.”
...

Vaccines are Creating the Variants

Prof. Montagnier referred to the vaccine program for the coronavirus as an “unacceptable mistake”. Mass vaccinations are a “scientific error as well as a medical error,” he said. “It is an unacceptable mistake. The history books will show that, because it is the vaccination that is creating the variants,” Prof. Luc Montagnier continued.

The prominent virologist explained that “there are antibodies, created by the vaccine,” forcing the virus to “find another solution” or die. This is where the variants are created. It is the variants that “are a production and result from the vaccination.”
Antibody-Dependent Enhancement

Prof. Montagnier said that epidemiologists know but are “silent” about the phenomenon, known as “Antibody-Dependent Enhancement” (ADE). In the articles that mention ADE, the concerns expressed by Prof. Montagnier are dismissed. “Scientists say that ADE is pretty much a non-issue with COVID-19 vaccines,” an article at Medpage Today reported in March.

Well, today I turn 51. Yikes! I know I should be happy that it's my birthday, but I'm not. I know the alternative is I'd be in the ground, so I have that to be grateful for. Ever since I turned 40, I have not wanted to celebrate my birthday. My parents are coming, from Ohio, tomorrow to celebrate my birthday. So, I will put a smile on my face and act happy.

So, how do you face growing older with grace and appreciation?

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, or going into shops with a hesitant 'necesito ...' + point / mime, I guess I am stuck with popping in here every now and then. Biggest incentive I have yet for learning Spanish and getting out and meeting more people, mind



I will be logging back in to make health-improving comments (#HIC) at regular intervals on this and other blogs. I wonder what the best dosage is? Make 3 comments, 4 times a day?

Here's that study


If you don't or can't follow the link - the lassie postulates that social intergration is more important to longevity / quality of life than family, quitting smoking / drinking, de-stressing, doing exercise, maintaining healthy weight, diet, even clean air. Scary thought.

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. Woohoo!

The bad news. He took my blood pressure and it's really high. This is a bit concerning as I've always had low blood pressure and I can't think what might have changed that it's so high right now. He's advised me to take my BP twice a day for the next two weeks and then he wants to see whether I need to go on meds or not. I can guarantee you I won't be going on meds and will be doing whatever I need to do to lower it.

I've been going on my regular bike rides around my area first thing in the morning, getting up as early as 4:00am to catch the sun rise. I've been richly rewarded in some of the photos I've captured and awed by every single sun rise. After wondering how far I really rode my bike, I finally downloaded the app to map my ride last night and remembered to set it a couple of blocks from home.

Although I'd been told my bike ride was probably only 10km, I kind of figured it was closer to 15Km and I was correct. It's actually over 15Km and I figure, based on the couple of blocks I missed today, it's probably about 15.25km for my circuit. I may have to start doing that twice a day to get my blood pressure down, although I haven't seen any one thing that'll do it, and do it relatively quickly.

I have to admit to being quite shocked at my blood pressure, and perhaps a reminder to take better care of myself. But that's what happens when you have no family doctor, you don't have any one doctor to keep tabs on anything. I had my blood pressure taken a couple of times over the last two years and both times it was normal/low, despite the stress I was under. I rarely went to the doctor, as I figured my issues were minimal.

I guess this was my wake-up call.

For years I always wore socks and slippers indoors, it would have seemed uncivilised not to. Then one day I was talking to a friend who was telling me how she hated having anything on her feet, and went barefoot at every opportunity. What she said started me thinking and I got it into my head to give it a try for myself. I found it felt great, sort of freeing.

It was summer when I did away with my socks and threw my slippers in the bottom of the wardrobe. I liked it so much that I began to worry what might happen when winter came. My hands and feet are terrible in cold weather; my fingers and toes go numb when I open the fridge door for longer than usual so I wasn’t at all sure I would be able to keep it up when the temperature started to fall. I needn’t have worried, when winter came I was fine.

Apart from feeling good, being barefoot has got practical benefits. My athletes foot has all but cleared up, and would probably have gone completely if I didn’t have to wear shoes during the day. I also find that it’s much easier to tell when my floor needs sweeping.

I highly recommend going naked from the ankles down.

Moderna Vaccine Trials Moving Fast With Final Study in July

By Robert Langreth

June 11, 2020

Moderna Inc. said it had selected a dose for a final-stage clinical trial of its coronavirus vaccine that should begin in July, as the company moves ahead rapidly with its innovative approach to trying to prevent Covid-19.

The final study, which will include 30,000 people, will be conducted in collaboration with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases in the U.S. Its primary goal will be to show the vaccine prevents people from developing symptoms of Covid-19, Moderna said in a statement. A secondary goal will be to show the vaccine keeps people from getting severe cases requiring hospitalization.

Shares of Moderna climbed 3.2% to $61.98 at 8:26 a.m. in New York. The stock has more than tripled in value since the start of this year.

The announcement is another indication that coronavirus vaccine trials are moving ahead at a remarkable pace. On Wednesday, Johnson & Johnson said it would begin early trials of its Covid-19 vaccine in the second half of July, ahead of its previous schedule to begin testing in September.

Last month, Moderna began a second-stage study of its vaccine, called mRNA-1273, in 600 healthy adults. In the statement Thursday, the company said it had already enrolled 350 people in the trial, including a cohort of 300 healthy adults 54 years and younger, and the first 50 of 300 older adults.

Some vaccines are moving into clinical trials even faster than Moderna’s. A shot co-developed by the University of Oxford and AstraZeneca Plc is starting final-stage clinical trials this month -- and the U.K. company said Thursday it had recruited Emergent BioSolutions Inc. to help with development and manufacturing.

China has begun offering employees of some large state-run companies the option of being inoculated with two coronavirus vaccines currently in development.

I am just wondering how she is doing. I know we have not heard nothing from her after her attack. Hopefully all is okay with her.
