Weight loss shots

Posted on September 2nd, 2010 by Jerry under Computers and/or Internet, Education and Personal Growth, Health, Life.

Have you heard about HCG for weight loss? I never had until I saw an advertisement for HCG shots Austin on another blogger’s website. I started to read about HCG, to find out what it is. Apparently it is a human hormone that is produced during pregnancy.  I don’t know if I would even be willing to try something like that to lose weight.  What do you think?  Would you?

Oh My Aching Back

Posted on August 18th, 2010 by Jerry under Health, Life, Opinion, Shopping.

For the past couple of months I have been waking up with the most horrible back ache. It stays with me most of the day and no over the counter pain relievers have been even taking the edge of it. I’m assuming that it is due to my old mattress. I couldn’t even tell you how old it is, but I’m sure that I’m due for a new one. One that will take away this horrible backache, or at least I’m hope so.

The Flu

Posted on August 14th, 2010 by Jerry under Health, Life, Technology and gadgets.

I can’t help but wonder what we are to look forward to this year as far as the flu goes. I’m not hearing anything about a swine flu concern so I’m really interested to hear what to be ready for; the weather is going to be changing real soon and flu season is right around the corner.

Buyer beware

Posted on August 13th, 2010 by Jerry under Business, Health, Life, Opinion, Shopping.

I was very disturbed today when I went into my local drugstore to buy some vitamins and saw that the expiration date on the bottle I picked up was October of 2008!  I brought that bottle to the attention of the store manager, and she thanked me for bringing it to her attention and said she’d take care of it.  I decided to spot check a few other items at the store while I was there because I was curious to see if that was an isolated accident.  Sad to say that I found quite a few things that had passed the expiration date.  I guess I’ll be checking expiration dates on more things that I buy in the future!

It’s All Out There For Us

Posted on August 12th, 2010 by Jerry under Business, Computers and/or Internet, Education and Personal Growth, Health, Life, Money and Finances, News, Opinion, Politics, Technology and gadgets.

All the information is there to see at http://www.oas.samhsa.gov/ where all the Substance Abuse and Mental Health statistics that are showing us that there is a rise for the need of good drug rehabilitation programs. Of course there are various and numerous reasons that factor the increased need for addiction treatment centers. I do believe that this totally messed up economy is making us all crazy. It’s taking it’s toll on the general public, most of which see no indication of any type of light at the end of any tunnel that is going to pull us out of this crisis, no wonder we are getting addiction issues that are spiraling out of control.

 

It’s good to know that more attention is being paid to substance and mental health issues. There are some nice drug rehab centers and alcohol rehab centers to be found online. Using the Internet makes choosing the right treatment plans a much easier task to take on. There is a lot of information out there, and it does take time to weed through a ton of irrelevant pages and such nonsense, but it still is a valuable tool and should be utilized for all that it’s worth when you can. Can’t imagine life without Internet access all though I know that there is still a huge population that doesn’t have access for one reason or another. I do know that Bill Gates is doing an awesome job in helping folks hop on to the World Wide Web with all of his donations of computers and supplies.

Medical advancements

I can’t remember how long it has been since Mom could go places without her portable oxygen concentrator in tow. I’m really grateful that she is able to get her oxygen for such reasonable rates.  I don’t think people realize how difficult life can be when you need to have oxygen tubes up your nose all day every day.  But I have to give Mom a lot of credit – she doesn’t let it bring her down.

Kraft

Posted on August 11th, 2010 by Jerry under Business, Food, Health, Money and Finances, Opinion, Shopping.

A few weeks ago I purchased some cheese at my local Food Lion. I reached into the fridge over the weekend to cut some of the cheese up to eat. It had not been opened yet, but I noticed that it has mold all over it. I checked out the “Best Used If By date” and it was still a few weeks away.

I was told that if you have a problem with a product and they supply you with a toll free phone number, to call it and inform them of their product’s issue(s). So I did and the lady was very nice and told me that a coupon is on the way in order to replace the cheese. So I have to say “Kudos” to Kraft! They stand behind their products.

I find that hard to believe

Posted on August 3rd, 2010 by Jerry under Friends/Family, Health, Life, Shopping.

Steve told me that he was looking for a good product to take to help him lose weight. He told me that he is thinking about using noxycut for that. I told him that I was reading a review about that product and that it claims that although it will help the user to lose fat, the user will not lose weight. The product claims that the product will turn fat into muscle! That sure sounds like a miracle drug to me!  I can’t imagine that would happen without some serious exercising going on!

Mesothelioma, A Growing Concern

Posted on August 2nd, 2010 by Jerry under Health, Life, News, Opinion, Technology and gadgets.

I’ve never known anyone who has been inflicted with the Mesothelioma Disease that we are hearing, reading and seeing so much about these past of years. I do know that there seems to be a large amount of these Mesothelioma Lawyer Groups that are advertising that this is one of their specialties and are there to help folks who find themselves dealing with Mesothelioma Attorney issues.

I do know of one guy that I worked with several years back that told of a friend of his whoe’s uncle who thought he might have this type of cancer. Seems that he was in the Navy and spent a good amount of time on a submarine and that these guys (females aren’t allowed on submarines) are coming up with this type of cancer more and more these past few years. That is bad news for guys that did so much for their/our country, much like the soldiers that were exposed to Agent Orange back in the Vietnam days. Chemicals are definitely one of the worst man made silent killers that man has come up with to do to himself.

So many different choices

Posted on August 2nd, 2010 by Jerry under Friends/Family, Health, Life, Shopping.

I can remember back in the 1970′s there seemed to be only one brand of diet pills on the market – Dexatrim.  My sister tried them back then and found that the pills made her very “jittery.”  And what was really strange was that she became addicted to them and needed her doctor’s help to stop taking them!  Ever since then I’ve been very leary of any kind of appetite suppressant.

From what I’ve been reading recently, even the best diet pills have a lot of caffeine in them, and caffeine is highly addictive.  I think that may be what was in the dexatrim pills that my sister had trouble with!  I remember taking one dexatrim a long time ago and I wasn’t hungry for two days!  I can see why people would lose weight with something like that!  Is that product even still on the market anymore?
