Foot loose
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.

Pernkopf’s Atlas
The set of books, referred to as Pernkopf's Atlas is no longer in print and surgeons are prepared to pay thousands of pounds for a second-hand set. These books are widely considered to be the best example of anatomical drawings in the world. It is richer in detail and more vivid in color than any other. Yet, few would proudly display it in their clinic, library or home. 
That is because the research for these books was done on the bodies of hundreds of people killed by the Nazis. It is their bodies - cut up and dissected - that are shown across thousands of pages. Critics say the book is tainted by its dark past and scientists have grappled with the ethics involved in its use. Dr. Sabine Hildebrandt, from Harvard Medical School, says at least half of the 800 images in the atlas came from political prisoners. They included gay men, lesbians, gypsies, political dissidents and Jews.
In 1939, a new Third Reich law ensured the bodies of all executed prisoners were immediately sent to the nearest department of anatomy for research and teaching purposes. During this period Dr. Eduard Pernkopf, a dedicated Nazi, worked 18-hour days dissecting corpses, while a team of artists created images for his book. Sometimes the anatomy institute was so full, executions had to be postponed.
Pernkopf was arrested after the war and sacked from the university. He was held at an Allied prison camp for three years but was never charged with any crime. Following his release he returned to the university and continued his work on the atlas, publishing the third volume in 1952. He died in 1955, shortly before the publication of a fourth volume. Thousands of copies of the atlas were sold across the world, and it was translated into five languages. It was only in the 1990s that students and academics really began questioning who the people in the atlas were. After the brutal history was revealed, the atlas went out of publication in 1994.
A Washington based nerve surgeon, Dr. Mackinnon says she feels uncomfortable with its origin, but that she could not do her job without it.
Rabbi Joseph Polak - a Holocaust survivor and professor of health law - believes the book is a "moral enigma" because it is derived from "real evil, but can be used in the service of good".
Dr. Jonathan Ives, a bioethics from the University of Bristol, agrees the atlas is "amazingly detailed" but says it is tainted by its "horrific past. If we are using it and reaping the benefits, it implies we are somehow complicit but you could also argue that in not using it, the atlas would be lost.”
And indeed a moral dilemma it is. Is it something good born out of evil or is it all evil?
A grand day to ya all!

What doctors and nurses are?
Who these doctors and nurses are?
They have the most power ,and they think they help or heal men,but they kill and destroy so many men!
And don,t care for it. Jesus Christ calls these Doctors: BUTCHERS OF MEN,and nurses are their servants,servants of Butchers!
Their Hospitals Jesus calls: House of Slaughters.
They think they can help men with their work of operation,with medicine and with their tools, but they
kill and destroy so many men.They do the will of Devil and are most of them not believe in God and they do against God.Is man healed with their medicine? is partly helped but many medicine include poison and chemicals and other things bad.
These Doctors and nurses are most evil from all humanity!They make so many men to take their
medicine,and to operate and so they use their work and tools to men.
GOD never heal men with the work of doctors,with operation,with their medicine and with their tools!
They are artificial.These Doctors and nurses have learn some knowledge and with that they are so proud and stupid, they think they help men and heal men,but they kill men and destroy.
Their operation,medicine and their work to help men is :20 % it seems to help men,in other way it kill men.These Doctors and nurses are most evil,and they do the will of the Devil and against God and against men.They hate God!!!God heal men with his work and natural means.
So hospitals are called: health centre,or house of health,but are House of Slaughters.
These Doctors and nurses are so proud with their knowledge and think so high of themselves,
but in fact :they are most evil and stupid and servants of Devil, God will judge and punish most
terrible these Doctors and nurses from all humanity!
So if you are sick, learn how to heal from nature and from praying to God,don,t hurry to go to doctors!
Because they are Butchers of men, they may kill you.
The pharmacy has become so rich selling their products and medicine to sick people.
Will doctors and nurses go to hell ?
Most of doctors and nurses who do against God and against men they will go to hell.
They will be judged and punished for their work,tools,operation and medicine.
nice day.

Sports
I have an answer in my mind. I will ask a question and see if any would answer the same.
The question is : Why do we lose weight when exercise provided we maintain the same diet

I Liked It Better When....
Father Time was an absentee parent.
I often hear about how we're destroying the planet and bringing about a mass extinction. What I'm not hearing about is the senseless slaughter of minutes, hours and days!
The killing of time is a real thing, people! Each and every day, thousands of seconds are obliterated. Hundreds of innocent minutes are thrown to the wayside without a 'second' thought.
Where is the outrage?
Hmmm, now that I think about it, I'm probably guilty of killing off a year or two.

What do you do when your doctor tells you you have 2 maybe 3 days to live.
I've been a member of CS for over 7 years now. Been blogging on & off most of that time, have made some good friends on here, but seems even some of them don't believe a word I say 
That's a bit cutting as I've never knowingly told a lie either here or in the real world, but I made a comment on Usha's blog & even some of the regulars don't believe what I said was true Makes mental note to review my friends judgement 
So back to the original OP what do you do, well that fits into three categories, the first being exactly what you're told to do, then secondly you don't rent any long movies
Thirdly you don't choose this week to give up smoking, I mean what's it going to do, kill you 
I've always had a passion for fast cars so sort of envisioned the end would be say a 400 year old oak tree with my head buried in it, not something the size of an atom Problem with things that small they breed faster than rabbits & before you know it there's billions of the little buggers eating you alive 
I'm a little short on detail as one of the side effect of an infection in your head is total deafness, I did manage to catch the doctor saying I was lucky, hmmm well to me lucky would have been not getting it in the first place, but by Saturday, I'd been taking painkillers for weeks which I realised weren't doing my any favours so cut right back, and it was then I realised how serious it was & decided to go to a private clinic, she told me I probably wouldn't have made it till Monday
My thanks to my neighbour & Biff who've been driving me to the clinic, I can't drive myself as the council have been out putting bends in all the roads that weren't there last week, plus I'm now banned by the doctor due to one of the pile of tablets I have take day & night is a narcotic
So you can choose to believe this blog or not, but i will tell you the lab that did bloods works on my sample today did question whether they came from someone still alive

Electroencephalogram (EEG)
An electroencephalogram (EEG) is a test used to find problems related to electrical activity of the brain. An EEG tracks and records brain wave patterns.
Small metal discs with thin wires (electrodes) are placed on the scalp, and then send signals to a computer to record the results.
Now that I have to wear this thing for 3 days, I wonder what they will find??

LIFE HAS CHANGED, new update
Noticed the new comments and wanted to reply by saying thank you so much for your concern.
I have finished all radiation and chemotherapy and just got back my MRI reports and everything is looking good, now I will be soon starting my immunotherapy for 1 year.
As far as I feel now, I feel good. When dealing with brain cancer you don't walk away without damage to the brain. I do not live a life of depression it is a life of frustration, your whole life has changed. I have problems with some communications but I seem to be able to perform good. I still have to be careful with being dizzy and don't do things to tire myself out. Overall all so far I believe things are going well
Once again thank you for your concern, prayers, strong energy you send me. Bless you

alkaline vs acidic
Here in northern ontario we have quite a few dead lakes, the ph of them is on the acidic side of the scale. They are crystal clear right to the bottom, now mind you there is no fish, frogs or even blood suckers in them. Why?. Because they are dead lakes where the PH is in the acidic range..
The same as our bodies, if ur acidic ur toxic and slowly dying, mind you has your doctor ever asked you to do a PH test? Not likely, has he/she ever asked such. Some baking soda can also help your body to achieve alkaline status.

Maybe you think flossing and brushing is enough. Think again.
I had some blueberries and yogurt, flossed and brushed.
Then... I turned on the Waterpik.
