[…]no comparison. I explained that I don’t have children, probably couldn’t because my doctors tell me I could transmit Lyme to them (and wouldn’t want to put a child through that) and my 2 cats who I raised (one for 20 years the other 19 who died recently) were like my children. I’m adopted as were both my cats. I’ve had friends with children tell me their dog or cat they have is just the same as a child and treated and thought of like a family member. We could discuss this for decades to come, and I don’t want […]
[…]Business of Being Born” (trailer at top of story) is an eye opening documentary about how doctors don’t want women hanging around the labor rooms and use drugs to sedate the mothers to make their job easier. The problem with that strategy is that it often backfires, and many end up getting C sections which could so easily be avoided. Just over 100 years ago 95% of US births took place at home as the NY Times explains in this raving review of the film. Now? Statistics show less than 1% of births are at home. The very mainstream conventional Parenting […]
[…]many think they’re a team of doctors or scientists) who like to debunk many claims by actual doctors who I know… In fact Snopes aren’t doctors or scientists. Many would say they’re nothing more than a couple of ole couch potatoes. I’d trust their cat over them (if the cat is still alive) Snopes has done links about obesity, cancer, health, debunking natural products, debunking why Splenda is unsafe (they say false, it’s safe for you!) Just remember these two people (and take a good hard look) the next time you quote Snopes like gospel. Because it’s far from […]
[…]boy must have been so depressed when his “owner” (we prefer guardian or fur parent) died, but then the owner of the home’s family sold the house and just let the dog to fend for himself living on the street (he spent most of his time under a shed). Neighbors left him food and water under the shed but then called in Eldad Hagar of Hope for Paws for help. I’ve had the pleasure and honor to speak to Eldad on the phone in the case of another dog who was rescued successfully (as I do animal rescue as well, […]
My grandfather lived to 99 years old. He died less than 2 years ago and was a phenomenal man. He did what he called his “stretching” (Yoga) every night until into his 90s, but he also did something else several times a day. He flossed. See this CNN video that talks about flossing helping you live to 100 years old. Our dentist had a plaque on the wall (no pun intended) and it said “You don’t have to floss all your teeth, just the ones you want to keep” Beyond keeping your teeth though Dr. Gupta explains (in the link […]
[…]location and an investigation is underway. One, we hope (if allegations are true) that puts this doctor behind bars and or paying these families some major money and the closing of his “practice”. So far NO charges have been filed! (even after the raid) See this video for an update. Warning some graphic descriptions. Remember, if you have a Vet tell you that your pet needs to be euthanized I always suggest getting a second opinion. But if the pet is truly very sick and you know their doctor well and agree. Please stick around for the actual euthanasia (or […]
