Complementary Medicine / Re: Lowering cholesterol

« on: 06/12/2021 09:11:28 »

Cholesterol level is largely dictated by your genes.
You can eat high cholesterol foods without familial hypercholesteroleamia (high cholesterol thats genetically passed down to you) and be ok.
Cholesterol lowering statins are the most effective way of reducing it (read more on [spam]online pharmacy[/url] site).
Don’t listen to scaremongering regarding statins, although some statins don’t suit everyone, there are lots of different ones so there are options.
It is vital that your ‘bad’ cholesterol level is lowered.
Keep up with the healthy lifestyle and keep up with your GP.

Technology / Re: How much electricity is wasted in transit to your home?

« on: 29/11/2021 12:09:35 »

Depends on distance, quality of transmission devices, how much of transmission system is high voltage vs. lower outlet voltage like 120 volt. Line loss can be much higher but it really depends on the specific power system involved be it High voltage or low and quality of the system, connections, transformers etc. Remember, there is power loss even if no one is using the power as transmission, source, connections, even weather and temperature all have an effect on power transmission and loss.

Physiology & Medicine / Re: How to survive in the desert?

« on: 01/10/2021 15:17:37 »

In the desert, extream heat, use two tarps, or whatever you have like recommended in this article spam.  The top tarp gives shade and lessons the radiated heat from the sun.  Then a second tarp a foot below which will insulate the radiated heat coming from the top tarp.  Safety hint in the deserts of the southwest, snakes and other venomous critters like the shade too.  As they say, look before you leap, but in this case, look carefully before you squat.

Physiology & Medicine / Re: Is coffee good or bad for the body?

« on: 30/04/2021 16:04:07 »

Coffee is pretty good for you as it has anti-oxidants and such (it works better than some antioxadants from spam.  The problem is consuming regular amounts of caffeine isn't ideal, but if you are like most people and are addicted to regular caffeine consumption (me included) then drink up buddy and don't worry much about it.  Consuming caffeine regularly is definitely not optimal living but it shouldn't be a major concern.  I'm sure there are much more important negative habits you should focus on breaking.

« on: 30/04/2021 15:58:45 »

I don't know how well the collars work but the <<<SPAM REMOVED>>>  work wonders. Just make sure you get a decent brand. Coupled with powdering the carpets should keep them under control in the house. I haven't used <<<SPAM REMOVED>>> on an outdoor cat but when I moved the person who lived here before me didn't take care of their pets very well because soon after moving in the place was infested... completely unbearable. Treating with <<<SPAM REMOVED>>> and powdering the carpet and my problem was solved in a few weeks though I kept treating for a few months to be sure.

Complementary Medicine / Re: My family's personal experience with cancer and cannabis oil

« on: 28/03/2020 13:17:39 »

No, CBD doesn't cure cancer. It's nonsence.
For what it's worth cannabis derived drugs are used to help with cancer treatment- specifically in reducing the nausea and vomiting associated with cancer therapy.
The reduction in these side effects means that the anti-cancer drugs can be given at higher doses and that increases the chance of a successful treatment. More info by the link spam removed

Complementary Medicine / Re: Does Cannabis oil Cure some cancers?

« on: 12/01/2019 09:24:58 »

OMG, definitely it can't. I think medical cannabis <<<SPAM REMOVED>>> can help get your mind off the pain for a little while but it's definitely not a replacement for main treatment. I've known people with cancer that were dying from the effects of Chemotherapy that Cannabis turned around and saved

Physiology & Medicine / Re: Why do women live longer than men?

« on: 09/01/2019 09:34:07 »

"In a study published by the American Aging Association, researchers analyzed data from the Georgia Centenarian Study, a survey of 285 people who were at least (or nearly) 100 years old, as well as 273 family members and other proxies who provided information about them. The investigators were looking at how the subjects scored on various personality traits, including conscientiousness, extraversion, hostility and neuroticism.

As a group, the centenarians tested lower on neuroticism and higher on competence and extraversion. Their proxies ranked them a bit higher on neuroticism, as well as on hostility. It’s impossible to draw a straight line between those strong personality traits and long life, but the authors saw a potential one, citing other studies showing that centenarians rank high on “moral righteousness,” which leads to robust temperaments that “may help centenarians adapt well to later life.

When it comes to oral hygiene, I clean teeth twice a day and use Listerine mouthwash. I have reasonbale teeth for most of my life only two fillings required and no other problems. I guess mouthwash is a must after drinking coffee or eating sweets. <<<SPAMMY LINK REMOVED>>>

General Science / Re: Does washing our hands with soap and water remove more germs than just water?

« on: 29/10/2018 18:44:17 »

I recently have read that when a person washes their hands with water and rubs their hands together vigorously they can get rid of the same amount of germs and bacteria that soap does. I also read some reviews on antibacterial soap here [SPAMMY LINK REMOVED]. Although some health professionals state that soap does cut down on more bacteria than water alone.

« on: 20/10/2018 22:05:36 »

There are many reason why paint failure can occur, but moisture is a common cause of peeling or blistering paint on both interior and exterior walls. ... Moisture as a source of paint failure falls into three general categories: systemic moisture, structurally caused moisture, and moisture caused by human error.
