really doesn’t fit my family history. My grandfather got really quite demented, but he had ALL false teeth from early on. So no p. gingivalis was even possible. And he was thin, non-diabetic, and very physically active all his life [he was a farmer], so there was probably no metabolic disease, either.

And then my dad scrupulously flossed all his life and yet became very demented (and his dentist—my brother–confirms that there was no p. gingivalis). So yes, you can bet I floss every day. But the p. gingivalis hypotheses certainly does not easily fit my family history.

Just heard back from my dad’s dentist, my brother:

Yes, I think there are multiple entries [into the disease]. Grandpa had no teeth since a young age and dad had no periodontal disease. Healthy teeth. 

myself, it’s a wonderful world!

hormonal birth control is easy and painless is complete horse hockey! MANY women find it just horrible. And their quality of life drops like a stone that’s been thrown in the ocean.

I would advise this: Women, pay attention to what your body is telling you. Not what should be the case, but what is.

times before, “transition” drugs and surgeries in kids is horrible. In 10 years it will be just another embarrassing but formerly trendy medical mistake. And it has gruesomely mutilated kids. Forever.

It will join the ranks of surgical removal of the removal of nasal turbinates for hysteria (see: Freud’s “Dora” case), Thalidomide, and repressed memory as trendy but catastrophic medical mistakes.

Concluding the report, the Les Républicains senator wrote: “Ultimately, there is every reason to believe that youth gender transition will be considered one of the greatest ethical scandals in the history of medicine. An ethical scandal approved by the medical profession, schools, universities, media and policies.”

there ARE risks!

I’m NOT saying not to use them. I’m saying be careful and watchful. Plus, they are at times a needed option for cycle issues. So let’s not throw the baby out with the bathwater. For several reasons they might be a great move. But be watchful and know that YMMV (your mileage may vary).

But who on earth would trust it, now?

with chronic pain patients. This is pretty much the Holy Grail. Faster, because I’m not getting any younger, here!
