Commented on Documentary on the Church of Satan from 1970
I read the first of his books when I was 15. It was the best book I could have read at the time. I think it was titled "Devil's Avengers". I know it was out of print, at the time...
Commented on Firefighter allegedly shoots cyclist in head to teach him not to ride on a busy street
I think this is the most insane thing I have ever heard of. I could only read it and ask, "Really? Shot him? Really?" I used to feel a bit overdressed with my bike helmet while riding. Now I'll feel...
Commented on Shelf Discovery: The Teen Classics We Never Stopped Reading
I agree with the other poster. Clan of the Cave Bear was only purchased at the used store I worked for by middle aged women. We filed it in the romance section....
Commented on Visualization of US consumer spending
I'm with #! up there. I'm curious about consumer debt. I know in my finances a massive amount of my income goes to paying down medical debts. I don't know if it would count as healthcare as it was already...
Commented on Witch booted from farmers market
What struck me about this was two things. 1. She purposefully didn't get a permit, and and got booted out for selling wares without one. Not really a big deal. She should have to get a permit like everyone else....
Commented on Searching for "purveyors of curiosities"
You'll be wanting Ye Olde Curiosity Shop in Seattle, WA. They have mummies, and everything....
Commented on Is Crohn's disease on the rise because we've eliminated hookworm infections?
I have a very close friend with Chron's. In February she had to have her entire large intestine removed, along with ten inches of small intestine. This means she now has a colostomy bag. We have been reading about this...
Commented on Aimee Mullins: How my legs give me super-powers
I have to agree with #11. I'm a geriatrics nurse, and only a year, or so, ago I had a bilat below the knee amputee. She had been in an accident way back when she was young, and I got...
Commented on Beta-blockers relieve fear factor from scary memories
I take beta blockers for my Grave's Disease. It alleviates the symptoms, as the anti thyroid hormones lower my overall tsh levels. I didn't find out about the calming effects of beta blockers until after I started taking it. I...

lancelot commented on Is Crohn's disease on the rise because we've eliminated hookworm infections?
I wanted to add my 2 cents: Everytime I take probiotics (this is a very general term; make sure you test different kinds as they don't all work for everyone, I have a few favorites like the Travel Vita-Vim Probiotic by Jamieson) or do a good cleanse (again, general meaning; find the right one for you; for me, it's the "Purge Parasitis KIT" by New Roots Herbal), I feel great, and all the symptoms vanish...but soon return after being off of the probiotics, or the cleanse for a varied amount of time. I find that cleanse lasts quite long as...

There are some interesting comments here about worms (I feel the "ick" factor just saying it). Some of your comments need to be read by others with caution: [quote] dbarak | May 26, 2009 10:00 AM | Reply "If I want worms, I'll eat our cats' droppings. ; )" Cat droppings would be carrying the wrong worms, and could seriously hurt you (mainly because they are carnivores and we're not).
