My mother a nurse had me on antibiotics every year for colds, ear aches...etc. It was an endless cycle till I was 26+. Now if I get a cold, I see to only feel sick for a couple hours, instead of days.

Of course now, I haven't been taking any of her normal advice. I eat more raw organic foods, eat grass fed beef, and take turmeric, quality CoQ10, and Vitamin D3 2500 UI. When everyone around me, even my wife (who has her own ideas) is getting sick with everyone else. I think I'm on the right track. I also work about 12+ hours a day including weekends. Main stream medical advice be damned, I don't need a flu shot.

Yes, but there is typically more bacteria on spinach leaves than raw milk.

It is funny how we get our food from that dirty dirt, and cow poop is used to fertilize our vegetables.

There are other reasons to do this. Small town doctors are terrible. It's better to double check on anything they say. I've mentioned things several times that I read on the Internet about in their own field, and they were oblivious. But they are also the kind of doctors that haven't learned anything new in 15 years. There are some good doctors, absolutely, but if you live in a small town, you might be stuck with someone who doesn't keep up.

The other problem is the time ratio. They examine you for 30 minutes, and come up with a 'solution'. Where you can research something for weeks in your spare time. Even if your doctor is a genus, are they really going to be able to best someone with half a brain that spends a lot of time researching a solution and has a large vested interest? Doubtful. In my personal experience, they don't seem to get much better with return visits and trial and error.

I think gullible people always believe everything an 'expert' says, without knowing the logic behind it.

Would you implicitly trust 'experts' from every profession? Would you never consider a 'second opinion' if you had cancer?

I was five years old when I got the chicken pox. My friend had it too. He came over and we had a party all week.

I wouldn't exactly call chicken pox child abuse. Child chicken pox is much less worse that adult chicken pox. The pox immunity from an injection may only last a few years, and you could end up getting it as an adult anyway.

I really don't understand the hate toward people that think differently than you. I think a more rational, non-judgmental attitude might be more useful.

My mother was a nurse. One of her best friends was PARALYZED from a flue vaccine. It's very sad, that could happen to someone apparently healthy.

There's over 24 vaccinations that are given to kids now. Russian roulette anyone?

Once you eliminate the right to choose, you can't avoid the land mines when they come. There will also ways be bad vacinee batches, and there will be vaccines that work was well as Vioxx eventually.

Funny. Doctors think that these vaccine companies never make mistakes. If there's a bad batch floating around (it happens) can they fire you if your refuse?

I'm for some personal freedom into what kind of crap your going to inject into my bloodstream, and I'm going to some @#$! research on each component before you do.

My mom is a nurse, and her best friend was paralyzed from the flu shot. How's that instead of a @#$@ three days of down time?

Brings back memories of when I was in high school... I bought Mark Ludwig's book, 'The big black book of computer viruses'.



I didn't actually write any viruses from reading the book, just a fun boot sector program that displayed subliminal messages. It also happened to get installed on a few choice computers.

Here's his 'little black book' book: http://vxheavens.com/lib/vml00.html. Of course his work talked about polymorphism over a decade ago.

You'd think they could just pass a law that would allow 90% of all available frequencies to be free, provided you played nice. We already have to play nice to some degree.

I feel that when a company like Verizon pays billions of dollars for a certain frequency, its an additional tax on us ALL.

I think we'll eventually move in that direction, but I'm not sure if we are ready just yet. I think we should take a slice of the spectrum now, and allow it to be free, provided you follow the agreed upon protocols. Something like high powered OpenWRT/DDWRT mesh networks.

Just my 2 cents...

lol

I agree. They are missing:

if( scan_for("Cancer") )
{
printf("You have cancer!");
}
else
{
printf("We just gave you cancer! Your odds were 1/50 per x-ray when functioning normally, and we didn't calibrate the machine properly. Your the NON-winner!");
}

Flashlights sure. Fluoroscopes not so much.

I was hoping for some thermal scanner to detect cancer...oh wait, they already have that.

I love the idea of a tricorder, but please, invent something that is PASSIVE.

I think everyone should know at least a little about other professions they need to deal with. Unfortunately, the more you know about a subject, the more you see your doctor, your mechanic, your building contractors fucking things up...etc.

You can watch ads on TV EVERY DAY of the week on how company X is devoted to quality and service, but in the end, you'll get a prescription for Voxx, car parts that cost 4 times what they are worth, and a new house with a 50% markup from industry standards.

Sadly the difference between a 'professional' and amateur, usually isn't much. There's too many trained monkeys, who can't actually think, are are just spewing the same words they were taught to memorize.

Now we just need an order form for this, and a good how to, on filling up a used printer cartridge with this ink.

I've always wanted to build a small CNC machine to make custom PCB circuit boards, but with this, I might not have to.
