Here comes Halloween... and the start of the "season of feasting" for a lot of folks around here.It's become a sort of time-honored "tradition" for Americans to put on weight between Halloween and New Year's Day. Some would even say it's to be expected -- "After all, it's the holidays!", they say.Now, I love the holidays. And I bet you do too. Who wouldn't love all the great treats and wonderful foods that just seem to spring up around us...more
Mesothelioma cancer is currently treated through three treatments, depending on the cancer location, the disease stage, and the patient's general health and age. These treatments are surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy, which sometimes are combined to fight the disease in so far as possible.In a surgery, one of the most common treatments for mesothelioma, the doctor removes part of the lining of the abdomen or the chest and some tissue...more
Way back in 2003, the Journal of Alternative and Complimentary Medicine's Oct. 9th issue reported a study finding that Tai Chi "could decrease blood pressure and results in favorable lipid profile changes and improve subjects' anxiety status. Therefore, Tai Chi could be used as an alternative modality in treating patients with mild hypertension, with a promising economic effect." This study laid out a way to save our society, perhaps billions of dollars annually, and possibly save some patients with mild chronic hypertension the potential negative side effects of chronic lifelong medication. However, this largely hasn't occurred.I caught a glimpse why when I was staying in the beautiful mountain town of Otavala, Ecuador, with a woman known for her knowledge of traditional Indian medicines. A tour of young American medical students stopped here to listen and learn from the Indian woman's tour of her herbal gardens. As I followed them, I asked a group of young bright medical students if they were aware that Tai Chi was found to reduce high blood pressure. One lovely young woman replied, "Oh, yes, I've heard that, but I would never prescribe it."I asked why, and she responded...more

Author: The Gun Guy OnlineFor the Patriot operating with just one firearm, the shotgun can handle it all as long as the right varieties of shotgun shells are kept on hand. In my opinion a good supply of #6 and #7.5 sizes shot for hunting squirrel’s rabbits and upland birds. My choice of defensive round begins and ends with 00buckshot. Some of the other buck shot rounds such as #3 and #4 Buck offer more pellets in each shot shell, but 00Buck has bigger pellets which is important in my opinion as you may only hit your target with a couple of pellets so the bigger the better in my opinion (especially if your target is shooting back).A generous supply of slugs will take care of any large game that will need to be taken or to add to versatility of the defensive use of the gun.Barrel lengths for the 12ga very in range from 18-30 inches with 26”-28” being the usual size found on guns designed for bird hunting. Most modern barrels in this length come equipped with removable choke tubes. These barrel lengths are very difficult to use in close quarters and can be tiresome to carry all day. Many defense models are found with either and 18” or 20” barrel on them and are usually...more
