Nobody Cares about Your Health

Chop onions with a blunt knife, that should help.

And after I've cleaned up from all the bleeding, I can have a nice cry about that, too.

Therapists say a new law requiring upfront cost estimates could discourage patients

Some mental health providers object to the new requirement, which is part of the No Surprises Act. They say giving detailed cost estimates could discourage patients from getting care.

Had my 2nd Zoster shot for Shingles a week ago. Despite what I had been warned about, there was only some soreness for 2 or 3 days at the injection site, and everything was pretty normal. I also had no reactions to the Moderna vaccines and booster.

Some people are just lucky, I guess. When I go it'll probably be a bus.

My dad had a friend - a real health nut. Jogged all the time. Got hit and died when trying to cross a street he crossed every day to walk to work. A dump truck driver had a seizure and lost control of his truck. This was back in the 1980s.

The rat problem in Washington, DC, is so bad, two people got hantavirus

This type of hantavirus is less severe than the one that usually spreads in the Americas.

A less severe hantavirus. I guess that's a plus...

Modern doctors want to bleed you for the humors... only now they use the term 'forever chemicals' instead of humor imbalance, LOL I am sure other journalists would have used the term 'toxin' instead of 'forever chemical', but 'toxin' is finally falling out of vogue in the snake oil industry.

Regular Blood Donations Can Reduce Toxic Forever Chemicals in the Bloodstream: Study

“While both interventions are effective at reducing PFAS levels, plasma donations were more effective and corresponded to a 30 percent decrease.”

Do we have permission to suggest trying ginger. It does wonders for me, much more than medication ever has, living in the swampy deep south. Fresh, candied, gummies, ale, as long as it's actual ginger, does the trick.

I will keep it in mind, but I wanted to update since I didn't in this thread that it ended up being COVID :/

Basics of Cancer

A small clinical trial with 12 rectal cancer patients found remission in 100% of them, according to a new paper published in The New England Journal of Medicine.

All the patients took dostarlimab, a monoclonal antibody, every 3 weeks for 6 months. During follow-up, the cancer had disappeared on MRI scans, PET scans, biopsies, endoscopic tests, and physical exams.

“I believe this is the first time this has happened in the history of cancer,” Luis Diaz Jr., MD, the senior study author and an oncologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City, told The New York Times.

They'll need to replicate the trial, hopefully on a larger scale. And of course, hopefully get similar results. But this is kind of exciting news.

Why am I not surprised that "Faith Based Health Care" (Jericho Share and other "Ministries") would be a total rip off?

They thought they bought Obamacare plans. What they got wasn't insurance

Some consumers sign up for Obamacare and find out later they actually purchased a membership to a health care sharing ministry. But regulators and online advertising sites don't do much about it.

Encountering such issues while shopping for health insurance is not uncommon, said JoAnn Volk, co-director of Georgetown University's Center on Health Insurance Reforms. She co-authored a 2021 report that found "misleading marketing practices" were directing consumers to alternative health plans, like ministries, that can cost more than marketplace plans and offer fewer protections.
