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.
Woah...

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.

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

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??

....but given what tomorrow is....best remedy for a hangover?

....sure, machines sometimes can best champions at Chess and Go. But related trends are occurring everywhere. Radiologists seem to miss as much as 20% of early breast cancers in reading mammograms, and google health folks now report they have software that can improve this significantly. Please slip into this hospital gown, which opens in the back. Doctor HAL 9000 will be in shortly to go over your films with you.

...of course, "oldtimers" is the most common of these memory/behavior scourges.. Don't count on money grubbing Big Pharma for help any time soon. Their three expensive drugs, do very little for symptoms, except for side effects, let alone prevention. Of course, the TV and hot detail lady sales human persons and heavy biased adverts make these sound like God's answer to Alzheimers, and other dementias. But, as with much of modern medicine, there is evidence that non-drug/non-surgery life style changes can help considerably with both of the above. Diet, exercise, social contact, lots of good water, various brain use strategies---and even a little wine daily, seem to increase the brain fluid flushout, and decrease the scavenger cell overgrowth, leading to inflammatory brain processes, that now seem a large cause. Tau and beta amyloid proteins, schmoteins. Same with genetics, except for a small number of cases. Most striking is the novel jogging and intense enjoyment of personal early community and family memories (photos, visits, movies, TV shows, furniture, vacations, etc.). Hasn't been studied or reported much, but I'm waiting with great hope for research reporting the importance of frequent hot kinky sex later in life, as the main preventive strategery.

...sure, lots of factors involved in these rates, especially when long standing trends are broken by stark differences over time. It seems that among blacks, in the USA, such rates have climbed to almost twice the rates for other ethnic groups. Allegedly, these data were much closer in value, even in the days of bondage. Supposedly, the usual suspects,--- poverty, education, class, etc. have little to do with all this, all "controlled" for.. Researchers conclude that it's actually something about the experience of growing up here black, instead. Mind you, these results come, as almost all such social science study information, from university and other alt ueber liberal research shops, often using unblinded questionnaire data. Choosing of study hypotheses, obtaining funding, methodologies, interpretation and reporting results, and more---all often affected by political slants of the researchers.

On my doctor's recommendation, I got a flu shot two weeks ago. The injection was nearly painless. The next day, my arm hurt a little at the site of the shot. On the second day, I awoke and my arm was laying on the floor. I had to duct tape it into place. I felt yucky for a few days after.
Officially, I'm over it, or I thought I was and tonight I reached for something across (right to left) and still have some tenderness.
I'm thinking that maybe I should remove the duct tape...

Brit Psychiatrists claim. AS IF, the state of the world today isn't already enough. Of course, consider which group is saying this. The hairdressers of western medicine. Same folks who supported lobotomies, the schizophrenogenic mother, autism in almost every home, same with multiple personality disorders, several hundred different mental disorders---with drugs for most, Bedlam care, the legitimacy of psychoANALytic treatments, and lots more questionable claims, including how normally homosexuals choose to live. The greater number of "legitimized" "illnesses", the more billable clinic hours, no? In my experience, only a small number of caring, well experienced, willing to listen---and try to understand their charges' struggles and needs, ---and humble psychiatric medical doctors and nurses are really helpful, far fewer than those who earn quite well.
