Osteopaths are excellent doctors and surgeons.
Perhaps you're thinking of chiropractors or something....?

Chiropractors are also excellent providers. The first time I saw mine
instead of taking x-rays he listened to me . He told me that because I
spend so much time on the phone I should use a headset. That went a long
way to alleviating some neck pain. I also had some back problems. Our
sessions have gone from every three weeks,to for weeks,to six weeks and
now every two months. Near the end of that period I might feel mild
discomfort but that is gone after a 15 minute session.

It can be. Some MDs have simply become an agent of the drug companies.
To be fair a lot of people demand a magical quick fix pill that will fix
everything. D.O.s are legitimate licensed doctors and have more of a
whole body approach and try to identify and fix the problem and not just
write a script.

One of the prescription drug problems is that so many of them run ads
aimed at the general public rather than doctors. People see an ad for a
drug that promises to remedy (insert name of problem) and people with
that problem insist that their doctor write a scrip for that drug.

Mercola is different. His advice on cow's milk is spot on and
rarely heard in the U.S. (thanks "Milk Advisory Board"):

how much can one expect to save by cutting their thermostat setting by
10 degrees?

Let's take 100 watts of extra power. That could be just one incandescent
bulb. Run that all day and you have over 8000 BTU's That would be a
small to mid size room AC running for one hour. Obviously that's a good
reason to decrease heating load by using bulbs that consume less power,
like CFLs.

But even CFLs use power. Leave on a 14W CFL and you'll use almost
11kWhrs a month. THats over a dollar at 10 cents/kWhr and just for one
bulb. So turning off even small electrical appliances adds up. And it
would take a small AC five hours to remove the thirty six thousand BTUs.

We'll leave phantom watts for another discussion. But many seldom
used appliances consume much more power off and idling than on. When you
attack energy consumption you target the biggest users first, then move
down the ladder.

None of this means you should be anal about consumption, but
everything has some cost that adds up over time. Just like turning off a
light in a room you aren't in makes sense, sometimes it's worth leaving
a light on, but it still has a cost.

Varys with how well the house is insulated.

If the insulation is perfect, it wont have any effect.

Then your original proclaimation doesnt apply to everyone else, and
you still wont see a lot of effect unless you happen to 'live' in a trailer etc.

It just feels different. Its not necessarily affecting the power used for the A/C that much,
particularly when you have the temp set on the high side to minimise your A/C costs.

I don't know who the invited candidates are, I repeated what I had heard from a reliable source.
If it suits you to call that a retraction, then be pleased with yourself.

Note I visited my brother over Christmas. He had not heard of Ron Paul
because they have been keeping him off of TV. I told him of Ron Paul's
views. He now likes Ron Paul. (This is my brother's decision to make.)

So let the people hear what the man has to say!

And that is the main point. When views from outside the box are not hidden, they get a fair evaluation. Most will be rejected in the long run. If the views are threatening to the "in" group they have to go into attack mode which usually makes the attacker look bad. It's easier and less expensive to simply repress dissent.

I'll be happy to regard that as an acknowledgement that you have no idea
whether it's true or not.

Oh, fer cryin' out loud. Just because the guy isn't getting any traction in
the polls doesn't mean he's being "repressed". The simpler -- and likely more
accurate -- explanation is that people *are* hearing his views, and don't like
them.

TOPIC: Over Half Of All Cancers Can Be Prevented By Daily Lifestyle Choices
http://groups.google.com/group/misc.consumers.frugal-living/browse_thread/thread/766cc36822d65069?hl=en
==============================================================================

Date: Thurs, Jan 3 2008 10:30 am
From: Braslavsky Gustavo

Nearly half of all Americans make New Year's resolutions, most of them
health-related. Stop smoking. Start exercising. Lose weight. Eat
better. Unfortunately, only 10 to 15 percent of these resolutions are
ever kept. Even more unfortunate is that these are exactly the things
that can help everyone prevent cancer.

John C. Ruckdeschel, M.D., a Medical Advisory Board member for the
Prevent Cancer Foundation and the president and CEO of the Karmanos
Cancer Institute in Detroit, is adamant about smoking's negative
health effects. "The major thing to avoid cancer is to stop smoking,"
he says. "If there's anything we have clear-cut, indisputable evidence
for, it's that."

What's more is that tobacco's harm can't be counter-balanced by doing
everything else right. "Eating broccoli all the time is not going to
reverse what smoking does," he says. "You have to cut it out of your
life."

Ruckdeshel explains that cancer itself is not some outside agent that
attacks the body. It is a harmful change within the body, on the
cellular level, that is caused by our genetic makeup combined with
what we either do or don't do every day to cause these cellular
changes to occur. Mutated cells begin replicating and taking over
precious internal real estate, forcing out the healthy cells.

Contrary to popular belief, most cancerous tendencies are not
determined by heredity, but are instead shifted into gear by what we
do on a daily basis - what we eat and drink, if we exercise, and a
host of other lifestyle choices. It is estimated that more than half
of all cancers could be prevented if we just took better care of
ourselves.

In addition to smoking, one dangerous pitfall is over-consuming foods
that are high in calories but low in nutrition, forcing the body to
struggle while processing large amounts of calories with no additional
physical activity.

"The overweight and obesity problems we're seeing in our population
are outgrowths of the sedentary lifestyle," says David Schottenfeld,
M.D., M.Sc., also a member of the Prevent Cancer Foundation's Medical
Advisory Board, as well as a professor of epidemiology and internal
medicine at the University of Michigan's School of Public Health. "We
need to recognize that as we look at the body weight issue, it causes
or influences one-quarter to one-third of the total cancer incidence."

With over-processed foods and sugary drinks, not only does the body
not get the vitamins it needs, it's left with thousands of extra
calories to try to dispose of. But without an extra amount of physical
activity to burn those calories off, they turn instead to fat. And
carrying extra pounds, especially around the waist, also puts someone
at a higher risk for cancer.

To do your part to prevent cancer, set a realistic goal for 2008, such
as:

--Stop smoking - Even if you don't succeed on the first - or tenth -
try, you owe it to yourself and those who love you to keep on trying.
And don't be afraid to ask for help. Studies show addiction to
nicotine is stronger than that of cocaine.

--Be more active - If you've got an exercise plan, great! Keep it
going and vary your routine to stay interested. But if you haven't
seen your running shoes since high school, it's time to get your feet
in gear. Start small - an afternoon stroll around the block, jogging a
minute or two every so often while walking your dog - and build from
there.

--Lose weight - Exercising will certainly help, but make it easier for
your body to drop excess pounds by not giving it what it doesn't need.
Read food labels and watch portion size. Keep saturated fats and
sugars to a minimum.

--Eat better - It may have seemed funny to hide your veggies under
your plate when you were a kid, but now, your body's not laughing when
you don't get the right nutrition. Make it a point to include fresh
produce in your diet - put an apple in your lunch bag, snack on some
berries during the day, sauté some spinach for dinner. It all adds up
and your body will thank you for it.

--See your doctor - Doing all the above steps will put you on the
right track, but you still need to see your health professional to be
screened for cancer. That means a mammogram every year for women 40
and over, a colonoscopy for men and women every 10 years starting at
age 50, a Pap test for women every year beginning at 21, and regular
skin checks and physical exams to be sure you're in tip-top shape.

About Prevent Cancer Foundation

The Prevent Cancer Foundation (formerly the Cancer Research and
Prevention Foundation) was started in 1985 when Founder and President
Carolyn Aldigé first understood the power of prevention to defeat
cancer - and recognized that too few of the country's resources were
used to promote cancer prevention research or education. Today, it is
one of the nation's leading health organizations and has catapulted
cancer prevention to prominence.

Since its inception the Foundation has provided more than $97 million
in support of cancer prevention and early detection research and
education programs. The Foundation's peer-reviewed grants have been
awarded to more than 300 scientists from more than 150 of the leading
academic medical centers nationwide. This research has been pivotal in
developing a body of knowledge that is the basis for important cancer
prevention and early detection strategies. For more information,

You're wrong, not all of them get that effect.

Some of them just decide that they are Napoleon etc.

The technical term for that is 'pathetically inadequate sample'

Nope, just the ones he posts using.

You can make the same claim about graffiti and spam.
