Ms. Perrine just passed from Parkinson’s Disease.
What a horrible disease.....
What a horrible disease.....
Back in 1957, I was in HH, and I had an appendix about to explode; my abdomen was rigid as a board. My trip to the OR was interrupted by patients coming in, in pieces, from an auto wreck. (It was a Saturday night.) They piled my belly high with ice and I waited. IDK how long, but it seemed an eternity, with the waves of number nine-ten pain washing over me. I've told this before, but, prior to surgery, an orderly came in with an aluminum basin. It appeared to be full of soapy water. In the bottom were two double-edged razor blades and forceps. I asked him what he was there for. He said "I gone prep you, so you be real still." You can bet I was super still. He had learned his trade in the navy...
That sounds awful. I am glad they got you fixed up!
I should note that severe emergencies are triaged faster and we generally do ok, but we need capacity in the town.
Thomas Massie is sounding the alarm.
Congress is about to pass a liability shield for Bayer — a foreign corporation — that would strip Americans of the right to sue when glyphosate gives them cancer.
Massie: “This is not to grant farmers immunity. This is to grant corporations immunity. If you contract non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma from this chemical — you won’t be able to sue.”
Bayer has already paid billions settling cancer lawsuits.
This bill ends future lawsuits permanently.
RFK Jr. built his brand on MAHA.
Trump is urging Republicans to pass it anyway.

We'd have to change things rapidly to continue to eat without glyphosate... And there are no guarantees that many of the replacement products are indeed less toxic or damaging to the environment.
IARC (the organization which labels glyphosate as a carcinogen) truthfully labels substances such as red meat as carcinogenic, but doesn't also come clean on the practical effects in the real world. And you can have my steak when you pry it from my cold dead fork!
And the hell of it is, why aren't we studying that? I know why Bayer isn't, but of all the things our tax dollars could be used for, this should be at the very top of the list. I could care less about the sex lives of the banana slug. Making our food safer should be a higher priority.
On that, we agree. I had a PCP about 20 years ago who smoked all the way through medical school. This routinely came up when he'd see me and remind me that I forgot to quit smoking again. (I eventually would.) He also argued that I needed more exercise because I was starting to show some weight gain and I advised I'd rather just diet instead.
"Do both." He told me that a pack-a-day smoker who exercised daily is likely going to be in better health than someone who has never touched a cigarette, but lives a completely sedentary lifestyle. I was skeptical and passed this story along to a different doctor in a different town. He actually thought about it for a minute and said, "Yeah, I can see why he would think that." And on the heels of that, "Yeah, he's probably right."
Still, I did give up the smokes and used to exercise like crazy. I've calmed down on that since I started having heart problems (Atrial fibrillation and tachycardia.) Looks like I'm currently in line for a third ablation. Still, I think red meat once or twice a week is still reasonable.
Spot on! But I eat my steaks in moderation with a hefty slug of a good Cab for those cardioprotective French effects!
We lack great data on many aspects of diet. But minimizing sugar, eating lots of veggies and fruits (particularly leaves), drinking mostly water, and eating reasonable amounts of high quality meats will take you far. And some reasonable portions of high quality carbs.
Not so sure I'd say an exercising smoker is better off than a nonsmoking couch potato... But after seeing what is now several hundred people die and suffer with lung cancer, head and neck cancer, and other smoking related cancers... I'm a bit biased.

There is life after red meat. My wife and I were both dxed with alpha gal syndrome about five years ago. Mammal content goes far beyond steak - try things like gelatin capsules or carrageenan, which although a red algae, mimics the epitope in red meat. It's in almost everything. You are forced to become a compulsive label reader...
Haven't eaten red meat in twenty years, a bit of turkey and chicken on holidays , salmon once a week. Eats beans, carbs and greens. Not sure I am pure enough to keep my arteries open but still trying to hike and keep moving.
Though I haven't eaten it in a while, because of my esophagus problems, emu and ostrich are as red as any beef and rival it in taste...
I don't know many places that sell it at a reasonable cost. If it is reasonable, it is always "out of stock". Is there a specific time of year to get it? I have always been curious about it.
I meant ordering online it is always out of stock. I don't know of any place that has it locally.
I eat more fish and chicken than red meat by far... Fish several times a week is ideal.
I mean... I like a good steak on occasion, but I'd take fish and shellfish if I had to choose.
I'm about to get away from the computer. When I get back home, I'll post the places I've ordered from. It has to be cooked carefully. It's like grass-finished beef, hardly any fat...
You've probably already seen it, but a long time ago in my Men's Health issue that month, they had a recipe using Portobello mushrooms as a steak substitute.
