Foodborne Illness Food-borne illness can cause a variety of symptoms ranging from nausea and stomach ache to vomiting and diarrhea, possibly a fever and fatigue. The bacteria or viruses that can cause food-borne illness can come from a variety of sources. This may include the existing environment, the food item itself, or from an ill food-handler. How does food become contaminated? We live in a microbial world, and there are many opportunities for food to become contaminated as it is produced and prepared. Many foodborne microbes are present in healthy animals (usually in their intestines) raised for food. Meat and poultry carcasses can become contaminated during slaughter by contact with small amounts of intestinal contents...

The Tragic and Invisible Epidemic of Thyroid Disease For over a decade, research by Jacob Teitelbaum M.D., author of the best-selling book “From Fatigued to Fantastic!"1 has shown that hypothyroidism, like most other illnesses that affect predominantly women, has been dramatically under diagnosed.2,3 The American Academy of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE), the nation’s largest organization of thyroid specialists, has now confirmed this. After a 2002 meeting, the normal range for thyroid tests was dramatically narrowed. As noted in the AACE press release: “Until November 2002, doctors had relied on a normal TSH level ranging from 0.5 to 5.0 to diagnose and treat patients with a thyroid disorder who tested outside the boundaries of that...

The flux of now is a constant movement that’s back and then away eventually coming to be the time we will soon live, made rational thru our past. In waves things change moving us in the sway of the was an soon to be. Gentle motions of being in the here and now cause us to respond to the forces and events in our lives. Ever changing from the past to the future we move in it, like a sea of grass. Constantly swaying , our motions total a rhythm metered against the,” sand of life“, running thru the hour glass of time. Waves of change from one person affecting another till taken as a whole,” we are likened to tall blades standing together in the field of the human condition “. Forming torrents of unison and rolling with and against the...

Two Party Rule is being challenged. Look at Massachusetts, 2010. It was the cross over vote that elected Scott Brown. (Older Blog post) I believe its simple. We have a third option it isnt one we identify with. Nevertheless it's viable and it has worked several times to produce monumental changes in the political landscape.1994-The republican revolution. 2008-the election of the First Black president. When we see something unique that is in the best interests of the nation the national psyche acts like a third party. My issue is it is this the," ability to collectively vote" using the core majority of centrist voters who are liberal and conservative and independent ; who see how out of touch Government has become. We can rein them...

Three women: one engaged, one married, and one a mistress, are chatting about their relationships and decided to amaze their men by surprising them wearing black leather bras, stiletto heels and a mask. After a few days they meet up for lunch and compare notes... The engaged woman: The other night when my boyfriend came over he found me with a black leather bodice, stilettos and a mask. He saw me and said, 'You are the woman of my life. I love you.' Then we made love all night long. The mistress: Me too! The other night I met my lover at his office and I was wearing the leather bodice, heels, mask over my eyes and a raincoat. When I opened the raincoat he didn't say a word, but we had wild sex all night. The married woman: When my...

Almost nothing is more personally pleasing than when I post an argument that points out such things as Obama being a damn liar, or that him hiding his educational records is because he's border line, mentally challenged, (Formerly known as RETARDED), or that he is Anti-America, which is proven in his 20 year association with Rev. Roberts Black Liberation Theology Phony Church, than when I am personally attacked and called nasty names by Liberals. Oh there are the attacks by people who claim to be other than liberals and they threaten me call me names etc. and I get off on it every time. I find I am very seldom in fact nearly never attacked on facts because unlike Liberals I don't post my ideas as facts. I post facts as facts and as...

Is it a Cold or the Flu? Flu and the common cold are both respiratory illnesses, but they are caused by different viruses. Flu and the common cold have similar symptoms (e.g. fever, sore throat). It can be difficult to tell the difference between them. Your doctor can give you a flu test within the first few days of your illness to determine whether you have the flu. In general, the flu is worse than the common cold. Symptoms such as fever, body aches, extreme tiredness, and dry cough are more common and intense with the flu. Colds are usually milder than the flu. People with colds are more likely to have a runny or stuffy nose. Colds generally do not result in serious health problems, such as pneumonia, bacterial infections, or...
