Yep, for years. Keeps it to a manageable level but even infused with antibiotics it only knocks it down temporarily until it comes roaring back.

This is not for allergies or simple infections, this is for the serious infections that won't go away no matter what. After going on 40 years of almost continual sinus infections I would take this treatment in a heartbeat if it works.
their seemingly inept methods of banking.
They're not being "inept" when they allow money laundering, it's an important portion of their business. Around a TRILLION dollars (yes, with a T) is laundered through the US banking system every year, we're the world's largest money laundry (mostly through banks, but also the stock exchange and real estate). They typically charge 10-15% for the service, which amounts to billions in revenue.
Under the Clinton Administration a sting was run against Banamex, the "drug smuggler's bank of choice", and they were caught knowingly laundering drug money and lost their license to operate in the US. His Treasury Secretary then resigned from "public service" to go run the money laundering ahem, "private banking" division of CitiCorp. He then engineered the takeover of Banamex with its valuable client list, and Treasury then restored their license to operate in the US.
That's how much the "regulators" worry about controlling money laundering.
That was the case three decades ago, but today when you give them the check and the teller runs it through their scanner they have the money within minutes if not seconds. The only reason to hold a check now is to take advantage of the float time.
And if the missing money causes overdrafts they charge fees on those as well, even though the overdraft is their fault rather than yours. They'll also jack up your credit card rate if the payment is turned down for NSF.
And they'll succeed.
You're misinterpreting what they're doing. They're blackmailing Apple and Google into giving them more money/insider information/work-free jobs for relatives/etc. Then when the legislation fails because Big Tech bribed enough congresscritters they can tell their constituents, "We tried oh-so-hard, maybe next time we'll actually do something that benefits the average citizen rather than the mega-corps!" Then they'll snicker up their sleeves, "But don't count on it."
So you think that they've run 75,000,000 connections for no reason at all? Is this simple racism, or did you just bang something out without thinking in order to claim first post?
In all fairness, she didn't get the chance, but she said that she would not change policies from those followed by Biden in any noticeable way. He was having people "snatched off the street" in anti-genocide protests, and they both fully supported the Gaza genocide and ethnic cleansing.
Or if it's developed in China, where gouging for healthcare is prohibited. Already a lot of new drugs are being developed in China, licensed by US Pharma, produced mostly in China, imported to the US, and sold for 10-100 times the price.
Well, when the only choices we're allowed to vote for are 'fast fascism' or 'slow fascism' it's easy to understand why a lot of people don't vote. As someone here said in 2016, "If two people are sawing off my legs why do you think I should thank the one who's doing it slower?"
I blame MBAs for that situation, mostly. To people who've never done the job programmers are fungible inputs, like plastic or solder. "A programmer is a programmer, right? If they can write device drivers to make my hardware work they should also be able to create a usable interface to it, build the database, configure communications protocols, and make the whole package secure! It's all programming, so what's the problem?"
If it were "everyday old not interesting matter" then the universe would be essentially opaque at the frequencies of visible light, we couldn't see to the edge of the Milky Way much less view other galaxies.
If 'dark matter' were baryons then interstellar space would be so opaque that we'd not be able to see to the edge of our galaxy.
I take it you've never lived with dogs. They only roll in shit when it's from some other animal (the worst smelling the better).
