So what's new on the health front? YouTube is the McDonaldizing of information so I tend to go there. Bite-size med news. Casual hobby of mine poking around health topics. Did not know gum disease can cause severe headaches. Teeth can be at the root of a lot of stuff. The human body is complicated. The lymphatic system is your sewer system and it can get clogged from time to time. In my YouTube feed. After 60 everything goes downhill. Ass leakage, fungal toes. Sore hip. Hair growing out of your ears. Scattered sleep. You laugh you pull a muscle. Brain fog. Nowadays when you see the doctor you're supposed to tell him what drug you want him to put you on. Saw an old guy once in the library walking down the stairs backwards. My late Dad did that. Supposed to ease the pain or something. Things to look forward to.
I still have my goblet of Christian Brothers in the evening and two good cups of strong coffee in the morning. No rest for the weary. Keep going. Learn some things. Posting about Trump everyday hurts the brain.
My basement stairs have a railing, which I use religiously. Mrs. puts both hands on and goes up and down sideways. Thought of one of those little electric sliding chairs you ride up and down, but they are too slow when ya gotta go, ya know? Brain fog - Mrs. says 'went to see old Jeanie today. What's her last name - I can't remember? Uh, Kleinart? Oh ya. I forget too - What is that little town between here and there? Umm- need more information. Liquor store today. They keep moving the sections - gotta look close, don't need a bunch of gin.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to retire. Maybe Trump and the Republicans will raise the age to 82.
ReplyDeleteYeah - might be a good time to sign on tor a $50,00 bonus and become and ICE man...or in your case ZICE man?
ReplyDeleteHoman's Raiders. No age restrictions now. Could have junior ICE agents harassing some burrito truck. Lord of the Flies. What could go wrong?
ReplyDeleteThat 50K signing bonus. Like a whore in a red dress at a railroad station.
ReplyDeleteAging - inevitable degrading related to cell biology. The culprit is the
ReplyDeleteend of the DNA string lace protective end. We can blame the telemere - for this. For example -

(which will put you to sleep quickly)
That's good. The melatonin is getting played out.
ReplyDeleteHealth posts not as popular as I hate Trump posts.
ReplyDeleteThen there is the much admired RFK Jr approach to a healthy life.
ReplyDeleteIdaho got its first measles case in years yesterday. How does one cure brain worm?
Re the other subject lots of critics of the mRNA platform. It is said you cannot vax your way out of a pandemic involving the upper respiratory tract. The virus mutates to escape the vaccine thus more mutations. Lessons from the Covid-19 era.
ReplyDeleteIMO, mRNA is safer than the ''killed' virus type'. Problem is the fast mutation type (also common flu) require more update shops, which
ReplyDeleteI agree should be optional. You must admit vaccines wiped out Polio and Smallpox? People don't like being told what to do, like the tykes being beaten and deported, gerrymandering or taking shots. Unless of couse it is a shot of CB.
Another common criticism of the mRNA shots is you can't control the antigen or amount of the antigen. Then there is the newer pathology of the white fibrous clots some embalmers are finding in the corpses of the covid-vaccinated. Some vascular surgeons have even seen these as well. Then there is the issue of these RNA messenger vaccines interfering with tumor suppressor genes. Requires more study.
ReplyDeleteNot anti-the classic and time-tested vaccines with a wealth of long-range safety data. Covid vaccines were on the other hand the most massively expedited vaccines in human history. The public were in a way part of the clinical trials you could say since the vaccines were still under clinical trials when they went to market. Kind of a Nuremberg violation imho.
ReplyDeleteNot gonna beat that drum -
ReplyDelete"The adenovirus-based COVID vaccines were triggering the same condition as HIT, though scientists gave it a new acronym to reflect the different origin. Researchers reported that about 1 in 50,000 people under 50 who received the vaccine were affected, as well as about 1 in 100,000 of those 50 and older.
Neither vaccine is currently administered in the U.S. (AstraZeneca's shot was never used in the country, and J&J's vaccine was authorized but then retired due to the clotting issue and availability of better vaccines.) However, learning what triggers VITT could still be useful. RE: Live Science The body fights any infection with its own interferon - you can get ivermectin from any horse doctor, though.
Interesting that you supported Biden-era covid authoritarianism. Do what you're told. Govern me harder Daddy. Very pro-establishment at the time but am now against Trump authoritarianism in all its forms. By way of clarification the early covid vaccines were still under clinical trials when they were foisted on the public. Still had another 2-3 years of trials and studies to go so I'll beat that drum for you. Imo they threw J%J under the bus to make room for the newer hipper technology the mRNA.
ReplyDeleteAt any rate in my view the need to hyper-vaccinate is not medical progress. If our dogs and cats required so many shots nobody would go to the vet.
ReplyDeleteSeems like just another issue - maybe Vaccine Derangement Syndrome. If everybody agreed on everything we would get bored and have nothing to blog about. Or not - Z-Mans 10 cures for boredom?
ReplyDeleteBUT one of the issues is authoritarianism. You once said every government by nature is authoritarian to some degree but the issue is how much authoritarianism is too much. The issue didn't start with Trump. As for VDS seems to me the derangement is on the other side. Should doctors take people off of transplant lists in effect killing them because they won't take the COVID vaccine? Should hospitals have policies saying you can't visit your dying mother because you didn't get the Pfizer or Moderna shot? The vaccine skeptical or hesitant are benign by comparison.
ReplyDeleteWhat would Homan do?
ReplyDeleteHoman would strap you in a chair in a basement and two goons would shoot you up. See you in 3-5 months.
ReplyDeleteSomehow we never caught Covid. Does it find elderly geezers unappealing?
ReplyDeleteRead somewhere being good with Vitamin D helps. I never got it either. Don't think my cats got it either.
ReplyDeleteA couple of related covid virus are responsible for the common cold. Up to 20% Another 40% come from rhinovirus, some RSV, HVIP and about 20% they haven't isolated yet.
ReplyDeleteNo cure for the common cold. They call chicken soup Jewish penicillin.
ReplyDeleteThose Yonkers traffic cams pick up any Sasquatch crossing against the light at 3 AM yet?
ReplyDeleteI was at an intersection with a traffic cam couple of weeks ago. It said I have 2 seconds left before the light turns red. They have these digital stands at many of the intersections now with readouts in seconds. Maybe too advanced for Boise. Anyway decided to play it safe and hold back and not make my turn. Guy behind me blasted his horn at me. Can't win.

ReplyDeleteBig Idaho County has one stoplight. Sort of a tourist attraction. Out here, there aren't very effective as almost every week there is a crash.
Sorry to bring up Trump, but he is lobbying mightily for the Nobel Peace Prize. Sort of a TV 'Let's Make A Deal' gotta be on camera. Locally, I got a HS girl mowing the lawn this Summer, she does ten lawns and chefs 6 days a week over at KC Burgers & Brew. How does she have time to tweet?
Some kind of Putin Trump press conference going on. Meanwhile over in the Middle East Bibi not a fan of the 2 State solution. When you're young you can get by on 2 hours sleep.
ReplyDeleteHow come Alaska? Putin would have preferred Yonkers.
ReplyDeleteWhy not Idaho?
ReplyDeleteIdaho is not on Russian maps ? (and we only have a couple of airports with short bumpy runways)
