Anything that lasts for more than a day or so, and anything in a package, box, aluminum wrapper, that lasts for days and weeks and even months - that's not food. That's something that the human body was not designed to consume and digest with any degree of health. Americans eat more food-like...

There's a big difference between one's liberty to do or not do something, and forcing others to pay for it, especially with no limitations.

We had family members travel on a plane recently - to Nevada. Our primary care physician said it doesn't matter regarding travel now - it's in huge clusters in every state (at least lower 48). He specifically told me they had a notice from the CDC regarding this, and that they are considering...

It's Lake Louise in Vancouver, B.C. And oh yes, that is fine for swimming in the summer. Cleanest water you'll see short of the poles. All fresh, snowpack, flowing over limestone, bedrock and other filtration media. If you ever get the chance to spend time with your family there, do NOT...

This is the biggest story in years that no one is paying attention to. This is nothing less than an act of financial war by the Chinese, who have seen their country built by at least 50% off the backs of the U.S. consumer. ...the fact no one is emphasizing this demonstrates the apathy of...

If the average person here saw, first hand, how many chemicals were used to grow the crops they eat, or see, first hand, how factory raised animals were raised (including what they were fed and what chemicals and medications were injected into them or their feed) and slaughtered, I guarantee...

Don't tell Bernanke or anyone at the fed (allegedly not a part of government, when sued under FOIA or other statues, but part of government, sort of, when seeking additional powers from Congress) or anyone in government that fractional banking is not sustainable - the very book that the federal...

I'm not sure about the global warming connection (though I would like a damn answer quickly as to why the polar ice caps have basically shrunk by 75% other than the knucklescraper standard response of 'it's a cycle, man,' as I watch the polar bear go extinct in my lifetime), but I am convinced...

Nope. I'm the guy in the window 20 stories up in that plush flat you can't see, cognac in hand, looking down upon you, in real and symbolic terms.

The U.S. population is an inverted pyramid, with a lot of older people at the top, and fewer young people in the middle and at the bottom. The thinnest ranks are the 20 to 38 year old "meaty section" that we will depend on for the next 25 years to provide the taxes to fund public healthcare...

Ahh, your post reminded me that we were also prescribed something to break up the congestion - Entex PSE. We also had the wet cough but it wasn't severe.

Well, $1,000,000 can buy an awful lot of preventative care for hundreds (maybe close to a thousand) of infants and toddlers, that will go a great length to increasing the odds they live a healthy, full life, and about 3 to 6 months for a very sick, maybe terminally ill,, intensely treated, 80+...

It just felt like a scratchy throat and fever to begin with for most of us. The rate at which it spread was alarming. They closed down the private school one in the family attends because of a 'cluster,' but this was after we all became sick. Honestly, it felt like allergies/hay fever at...

Ian, sorry to hear that. Wow.

They initially gave me a script for antibiotics because I had a fever and some swollen glands, and then called the pharmacy and canceled the prescription because they received a bunch of data the CDC had sent out to all physicians. I was told to drink a ton of liquids and take motrin or...

It was too late by the time we went in to get checked out. The antivirals only help if you take them w/in a day or two of being diagnosed.

lol.

I was sicker than a swine, I should have said. By the way - this is not directed to you, shortie - Whoever rates every thread I start one star, go fuck yourself and your mother, too. :cool:

My whole family caught this. I was sicker than a dog for the last 6 days. My doctor should get the results from the culture by Tuesday or Wednesday, but has "almost no doubt" this is what we have, as the H1N1 influenza is now likely for well over 90% of influenza cases in most areas of the U.S...

I've never seen it so lopsided. I wonder what put option buying looks like.
