Kidney Stone HELP!

Elevated uric acid levels suggest an increased potential for stones and gout. At body temperatures, purines are converted to uric acid and its salts. The salts are not very soluble and have a tendency to build up in various parts of the body.

Vermin in the basement

It is very common for all of us to look to stronger treatments when the old ones no longer work. There's a better approach.


Is it approved by the FDA?

That's a common question, but does it always mean that the product is good or safe? In this case, an FDA approved pain reliever is on the market, but the actual contents of the bottle may not match the label. It gets worse! On the same day, the FDA announced that a similar pain product - approved by our FDA - might actually have a different pain drug in the bottle. That story is here, http://bit.ly/mbP6Qw



Who the heck is in charge?

Zero is the upper limit.

I claim it is impossible to define intensive-dose statin therapy. Regardless of which dose of a drug is deemed excessive, there will always be someone who doesn't respond as expected. No matter where they set the official limit, there will always be people who are harmed by that dose. When it comes to statin drugs, the upper limit should be zero.


.... Consider the differences between "Alternative" and "Traditional;" health care. Does anyone else thing we have it backwards? The alternative fields include nutrition, chiropractors, acupuncture, supplements, exercise, meditation, homeopathy, naturopathy, and so on. The traditional (allopathic) medical fields are comprised of drugs, radiation, and surgery, all of which are relatively NEW inventions in the fields of health and healing. Why do we refer to the tried and true approaches to health as alternative and the new stuff as traditional?

.... Is it possible that someone has intentionally switched the descriptions and titles to confuse the public.? Is it a plot to sell more drugs, surgeries, and radiation?

.... I think its about time we started calling things by their correct descriptive names. What do you think? http://bit.ly/lzibx0

Government to SPY on Doctors?

.... In the name of Universal Health Care.

.... Chip, chip, chip. A little liberty lost here and a little more over there. Our Liberty fortress continues to be torn down, one piece at a time.

.... Other mandated losses in liberty; smoking, seat belts, air bags, x-ray exams, pat downs, and you can add to the list.

It's really easy. Starting tomorrow, drink no tap water. Not because of industrial pollution, but because of chemicals that 'health authorities' are adding to your water. For example...



People who warned against FLUORIDATION used to be ridiculed, but guess what? In Scandinavia, in fact all of Europe, and nearly every other medically advanced nation, they have now banned the practice.



Know why? Because fluoride makes your body absorb extra aluminum . And where does the aluminum go? Your brain. And what metal shows up alarmingly in the brains of Alzheimer's victims? You guessed it. (Hmm... Maybe our health authorities have been drinking too much water?)

All things in moderation.

.... I suspect that we’ll soon see another study that warns us about yet another disaster-in-the-making if we drink coffee. I think studies like this are encouraging on many fronts. However, I don’t plan to stave off Alzheimer’s by downing 4 to 5 cups of coffee per day. I’d float away, get buzzed, and go broke – all at the same time.

.... I'm currently debating with myself about getting a Kreurig coffee maker. One issue is that I need TWO - office and home. Need is a key word - I might want the machines, but I'm trying to determine if I really need them.
