The Unthinkable

The Unthinkable

You get that on which you put your attention.

That which is reviled and resisted today becomes tomorrow’s norm. Unfortunately.

Best we put our attention on the positive side of the coin.

Human Rights Video #24: Right to Play

One of my principle concerns with the current scene is the rapidly escalating speed with which human rights are being trampled. The lack of peace in certain regions is proof positive that these principles are actually valid and needed, more than ever.

This trend needs to be reversed. The entrance point is educating people that they do have rights. Hence this post and the request you share these posts so more people are aware of and insist upon their rights so that we can live in a peaceful society.

Watch the video and if you think so too, please share it!

Do you know it is a fundamental right of yours to have your own opinion? You would not think so from the way some people (including the government) try to belittle you for disagreeing with them but it is.

The Use of Curcumin as a Complementary Therapy in Ulcerative Colitis

The objective of this study was to systematically review the literature to verify the efficacy and safety of curcumin as a complementary therapy for the maintenance or induction of remission in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Studies show that curcumin may be a safe, effective therapy for maintaining remission in UC when administered with standard treatments.

Using Heat to Kill the Coronavirus

Masked Delivery Receipt

If used properly, moderate or high heat can be used to “kill” coronavirus, inactivating the virus so that it is no longer infectious. However, in many cases this may be more time-consuming than other methods such as chemical disinfection (with disinfecting wipes or sprays) and there is often no need to disinfect packaging at all if you can just remove the packaging, dispose of it (preferably by recycling), and then disinfect your hands by washing with soap and warm water or using another disinfection method. Furthermore, the FDA has stated that “…there is currently no evidence of human or animal food or food packaging being associated with transmission of the coronavirus that causes COVID-19.” Although the agency notes “…if you wish, you can wipe down product packaging and allow it to air dry, as an extra precaution.”

CDC expects 2020 outbreak of life-threatening AFM in children

AFM Signs

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a call to action to warn of a potential outbreak between the end of this summer and winter of a rare, but potentially lethal disease that affects young children, where seeking medical attention right away could make all the difference.

Acute flaccid myelitis “is a medical emergency that requires immediate recognition and care,” urged CDC director Robert Redfield, on a conference call with the media Tuesday.

AFM is a rare, rapid onset neurological disease affecting the spinal cord leading to paralysis. Symptoms of AFM include sudden arm or leg weakness, difficulty walking, limb pain, back pain or neck pain. AFM can cause paralysis over the course of hours to days, which may require a ventilator for breathing.MORE: Doctors race to find out more about polio-like disorder AFM before next wave of illnesses

It most commonly affects young children. Parents are being asked to seek medical care immediately if a child develops a sudden arm or leg weakness.

Most children with AFM will have a fever or respiratory illness about six days before weakness occurs.
