Best practices for water imbibing: "Just drink when you're thirsty"

April 4, 2008 5:14pm

"Maintaining adequate fluid balance is an essential component of health at every stage of life. Age-related changes make older adults more vulnerable to shifts in water balance that can result in overhydration or, more frequently, dehydration."

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16728843?ordinalpos=2&itool=EntrezSystem2.PEntrez.Pubmed.Pubmed_ResultsPanel.Pubmed_RVDocSum

"Maintaining good hydration status has been shown to positively affect urolithiasis (kidney stones) and may be beneficial in treating urinary tract infection, constipation, hypertension, venous thromboembolism, fatal coronary heart disease, stroke, dental disease, hyperosmolar hyperglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis , gallstone disease, mitral valve prolapse, and glaucoma. Local mild hypohydration or dehydration may play a critical role in the pathogenesis of several broncho-pulmonary disorders like exercise asthma or cystic fibrosis. In bladder and colon cancers, the evidence on hydration status' effects is inconsistent."

Nonsense. You're just making things up here. Where's your proof? You obviously have no experience in this area.

Freeconomy practitioner will walk from UK to India without touching money

February 5, 2008 1:57am

"Freeconomy movement"? What a load of piss. "The more we accumulate wealth, the more it leads to a breakdown of community." Nonsense.

The fact that we have a system where we can earn money directly leads to advances in the community. There is no limit to "money". Therefore "accumulating wealth" cannot be harmful, in and of itself, to anyone. I can wake up tomorrow with an idea for a book or a movie or an invention or a business or a marketing process or any of a number of things that have VALUE for other people. They are able to quickly and efficiently acquire that value by trading money for it.

If I had to accept barter for every single transaction, i would quickly run out of things/services I would need or even want from these other people. I also would only be able to deal with people on a relatively local level. This would make me think about whether I even want to take the risk to put all the work into creating the new product/service/invention/process to begin with, since the risk of not being fairly compensated for my time, effort, and the value of my output is a lot higher (in many cases) than the possible reward. Therefore, I do nothing (or a lot less that I would have done) and so does everyone else. Progress comes to a virtual standstill. Business are not started, jobs are not created, value is not exchanged. Innovation is STIFLED. The breakdown of the GLOBAL community would be massive.

Now, how would we solve these "problems". One word. Money.

This guy is a dope and the freeconomy movement is a joke.

If you have RLS, make sure to do some research into magnesium deficiency. It is thought to be a widespread problem that not many know about, and magnesium is a critical mineral. http://www.drlam.com/A3R_brief_in_doc_format/1999-No3-MagnesiumandAging.cfm is a good place to start. Also realize that a blood test for magnesium deficiency isn't going to tell you what you need to know. "One's blood test can be "normal" while the intracellular level is "deficient." "

Also, too much iron can be as bad as too little iron. Before taking iron for this problem, or anything else, I would make surre that you are truly iron deficient.
