A Vast Improvement For My Humane Bowel Movement.

A Vast Improvement For My Humane Bowel Movement.

Comments 0 Comment

I started having problems with bowel movement.  I am a pretty old person and this might be age related.  I was not going as often as I knew I should.  My first solution was taking the product MiraLAX.   MiraLAX softens stools, which for me, worked very well but then caused a new problem.

 

 

It worked very well.  I took it for over one year but it had one significant down side.  I found that I had to use a very large amount of toilet paper.  My stools were way too soft.  I came to realize and fear that I would not be able to travel by air or bus.

My current solution is using MetaMUCIL.   For me, MetaMUCIL allows for regular bowel movement but the stools are not soft and messy.

 

 

Every morning, I add a .022 oz on-the-go, sugar free, orange flavor, psyllium fiber supplement to a glass of Figi water and stir the powder into the water until there is no lumping.  I drink the MetaMUCIL packet contents with my morning medications and vitamins.  Now, I use very little toilet paper; a near perfect solution.

I also eat two MetaMUCIL FIBER THINS cracker (2 are in each envelope) when I take my morning walk.  I always take water with me on my walk because these crackers some times really need some water.

 

 

I still use MiraLAX whenever I find myself not having a bowel movement for a period of time.

Please note that you should be careful taking any of these products because you are most definitely different in so many ways than the author.  Consider talking to your doctor before you try any of these products.  Also, you might consider adding anything new to your diet slowly and maybe keep a log listing date and time of the results you detect.

Good Luck!

Kaiser May Be Out Of Touch With Recent Alzheimers Research

Kaiser May Be Out Of Touch With Recent Alzheimers Research

Comments 0 Comment

My mother suffered for years from having Alzheimers Disease.  The disease is simply awful and I do not want to get it.  I found that taking Viagra (sildenafil) can help protect men from getting this disease.

“Because our findings only establish an association between sildenafil use and reduced incidence of Alzheimer’s disease, we are now planning a mechanistic trial and a phase II randomized clinical trial to test causality and confirm sildenafil’s clinical benefits for Alzheimer’s patients,” Cheng explains.

  But, you need a prescription to take Viagra.  I sent my Kaiser doctor a message asking that I get a prescription.  This is the doctor’s reply:

“I asked our neurologist and he is not aware of any indication for sildenafil (Viagra) use for prevention of alzheimer’s.”

Next I discovered that coffee might help to ward off alzheimers:

Other observational studies have been conducted with healthy volunteers and the results have been mixed. Some have shown a protective effect against Alzheimer’s disease, some have shown a protective effect only in women, while others have shown no effect at all.

I am now trying to drink more coffee every day.

Single Incident Of Alleged US Law Corruption

Single Incident Of Alleged US Law Corruption

Comments 0 Comment

OPINION

This blogger is not a lawyer.

Thousands of people have filed lawsuits against a specific manufacturer, the maker of a popular weed killer, claiming the weed killer caused non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, a form of cancer. Massive amounts of monetary verdicts have been awarded, in the United States courts of law, because the manufacturer lost in the courts. The problem is that the money that the individuals, who came down with cancer, actually received is a way lower dollar amounts that is stated in the gross settlement allocation, due to these factors:

The manufacturer does not pay for the following items but the person who came down with cancer does have to pay these items (allegedly being injured again):

  • Legal fees.  Roughly 40 % of the total award is taken out for legal fees.  This amount may vary.
  • Medical reimbursements to the companies who treated each cancer patient.  This item is called “medical liens”.   This can vary greatly depending upon how the liens are completed.   
  • Admin and case expenses.  This is usually a very small amount, less than one thousand dollars and does vary with each case.

One case we viewed, shows the gross settlement was about $125,000.  The individual received a net settlement of only about $35,000 but might get more money later after the medical liens are resolved.

The individuals who came down with cancer has to pay for most all the legal fees which can, in some cases, drain the gross settlement amount near half.  

Lawyer input:  “Unfortunately, American law does not, in tort cases, provide that attorneys fees are paid by the loser.  As a result most cases, like this, are paid by a percentage of the recovery from to be Plaintiffs.    Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do on this issue.  It’s simply the way law works in the US.”

Question:  Why not require the criminal element to pay all fees associated with case and give a larger financial award to the person(s) who were injured?

The legal corruption factor is that the legal system is failing to make the victim whole again.  The corruption factor is to take a big amount of award money fees out of the settlement and not give it to the person who was injured but to people who worked on the case.  Why not make the perpetrator pay for all court related fees?  The victim now gets way less money (for alleged corrupt reasons) and be thankful for getting any restitution.

Some Possible Reasons Why The Supreme Court Blocked Biden’s Virus Mandate For Large Employers?

Some Possible Reasons Why The Supreme Court Blocked Biden’s Virus Mandate For Large Employers?

Comments 0 Comment

The Supreme Court  blocked the Biden administration from enforcing a testing mandate for large employers, dealing a blow to a key element of the White House’s plan to address the pandemic as coronavirus cases resulting from the Omicron variant are on the rise.

Let us look at how each supreme court justice was put in office to see if there are any issues of apparent bias.  A scoring method will be used to reveal to the reader apparent hidden issues that a Supreme Court member might bring to his or her deliberations and rulings.

Please note that one factor shown below is Catholic.  The intent here is to only show the number of Catholic Supreme Court justices beyond what is normal for the US population and does that then signify any bias.

  • Justice Stephen Breyer. (No negatives)
      • Democrat appointment
  • Justice Sonia Sotomayor. (-1 +1 = even score)
      • One of two women.  (+1)
      • Catholic. (-1)
      • Democrat appointment. 
  • Justice Elena Kagan. (No negatives)
      • Democrat appointment

 

Overall Fairness, Or Not, Score for the Supreme Court Justices:  -17.5 negative issues appears to reveal alleged bias.

Sex

Only two women are currently serving in the Supreme Court.  The number of women in the United States according to the US Census is 50.8%.  Ideally, half the US Supreme Court justices should be women.  Each women holding office is given one positive point.

Religion

“Roughly 48.9% of Americans are Protestants, 23.0% are Catholics”. So why is the Supreme Court made up with almost all catholics?”

Because there are so many Catholics sitting as judges it stands that this might be a problem.

This is the reason we give this a negative value of -1.

Party Appointment Bias

“As of October 26, 2020, of the 9 justices of the Supreme Court, 6 were appointed by a Republican president, and 3 were appointed by a Democratic president.”  

  The Republican Party, it can be said, stacked the court with judges that should aid the Republican Party agenda.

“The party has a set of unwavering transactional commitments (to reactionary billionaires, provincial capitalists, and the Christian right”.

“… conservative business leaders and reactionary billionaires who’ve focused not just on winning elections, but on rewriting the rules of our economy and our democracy. The growing power of these forces has encouraged the GOP to embrace a retrograde economic program”

This is the reason we give being appointed by the Republican Party a negative vote, -1.

Trump Appointment is a consideration.

President Donald Trump was one of the worst presidents in the history of the United States with a score of 312 out of 897 (Abraham Lincoln having best score).  It might/should thus follow that his Supreme Court appointments were made for questionable reasons.

“President Trump has said he would ‘protect’ and ‘fight for’ workers. Instead, his administration has systematically done the opposite.”

Summary:

It appears that the United States Supreme Court is possibly flawed because members may not represent the whole country but probably, large business owners, the plutocracy class.  A very common fear expressed in news, opinion, research, history and web sites is that the United States is now being controlled by a plutocracy.  This may help explain why President Biden’s attempt to fight the massive spread of the Covid and Omicron virus was halted by the Supreme Court members for their alleged special interest motivations.

References:

Opus Dei:   

“It’s widely known that Supreme Court Justices Antonin Scalia, Samuel Alito, and Clarence Thomas belong to Opus Dei – and that Chief Justice John Roberts may also be a member,”

 

Federalist Society

“Leo has for many years been the executive vice-president of the Federalist Society, a nationwide organization of conservative lawyers, based in Washington.”

“The Federalist Society has for years been singularly focussed on building a farm team of judicial nominees who subscribe to a philosophy that is hostile to the advancement of social and economic progress in the country. Behind the scenes, during Republican Administrations, they are very engaged in identifying and recruiting for judges candidates who are ultra-conservatives—who are opposed to our rights and liberties across the board, whether it’s women, the environment, consumer protections, worker protections.” 

“No one has been more dedicated to the enterprise of building a Supreme Court that will overturn Roe v. Wade than the Federalist Society’s Leonard Leo.”

“You now have a five-justice majority on the Supreme Court, all of whom are [connected to] the Federalist Society: Chief Justice John Roberts, Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas — who has been called by Federalist Society members the closest thing to a pure Federalist Society judge — and, of course, Trump’s appointments, Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh.”

 

Donald Trump

“One of the greatest cons of the 21st century was the idea, invented whole cloth by the producers of The Apprentice, that Donald Trump was a genius businessman. Indeed, his time in the White House revealed that not only was he neither a genius businessman nor a genius period, but he was, in fact, in layman’s terms, a big fuckin’ moron.”

Covid Vaccination Rejection Issues

Covid Vaccination Rejection Issues

Comments 0 Comment

It is vitally important that every person get inoculated agains the COVID-19 virus.  To not get inoculated really increases your chance of getting very ill and dying.  This is especially true for people of all ages including children who come into contact with the Delta variant.  Please get inoculated!

Misinformation fueling vaccine hesitancy

There also may be a natural selection factor for the humane race at work for individuals who are reluctant to get inoculated.  This some times is also called “survival of the fittest” which means that some of us are born with bodies and minds that can more easily and successfully fight off infections.  

Another related factor for individuals who fail to get vaccinated for reasons they get their information from allegedly bad sources:

There are some legitimate sources that state that the virus inoculation should not be administered:

A medical director of the vaccine-preventable diseases and immunization program at the Tennessee Department of Health was fired for sharing a memo with others that. “according to Tennessee Supreme Court case law, minors ages 14-17 years are able to receive medical care in Tennessee without parental consent.”       Note that Tennessee is a Republican state.

Another Issue:

There may follow some form of follow up retribution against known groups and individuals who promote not getting vaccinated.  The Republican Party has already lost a lot of followers.  Maybe Fox “News” is next.

If those people who reject being inoculated do so because they can not properly calculate how to react to this covid threat, then it is quite possible that the humane race might improve if their death precedes them making children that pass on this alleged deficient factors.  This is a terrible demeaning proposal but if this possibility shames more people to get inoculated, then the better for them, their families and this nation if this changes their attitude.

Fight Child Poverty

Fight Child Poverty

This entry is part 2 of 2 in the series Child Poverty

It is never has been my interest or motivation to recommend to my readers any charity because that is not the main purpose of this blog.  This blog is to inform, not to sell.  But, this issue of child poverty, in my mind, is very important to us all.  I, therefor, have tried to research any possible solution that we, as a population of public, can think about adopting to improve this situation.  Our politicians should work toward resolving this issue.  While waiting for them to act typically takes quite some time.  The faster solution is for all of us to consider what we can do to help.  The easiest solution is to throw our money at this problem.  So far, here is my rather short list for you to consider.  I have attempted to only offer, to you, highly recommended solutions.  I will only show very high score operations, by Charity Navigator, and I reject religious affiliations.  I am sure there are a lot more solutions for you to consider:

  • Feeding America. has a very high score from Charity Navigator.
  • Save The Children has a near perfect score from Charity Navigator.   This organization also serves other nations than the United States.
  • Child Defense Fund has an above average score from Charity Navigator.
  • National Homelessness Law Center has a 82.69 out of 100 score from Charity Navigator.  Their emphasis is to end homelessness and poverty.

 

The above list is still being expanded when time permits.
