I think this website is a wonderful commodity PUBBY! I don't want to embarrass you, as I am not appreciated by many of the people who frequent P.com. They think I'm an instigator, and probably even an intimidator (a tormenter). But, nothing could be further from the truth. I actually consider my ability to arouse enthusiasm (the eagerness to debate an issue) the greatest asset I possess. But, I am not an educated man, and just a common citizen, which gives your saying, "perfection alludes us all," more meaning to me than educated people experience. My attitude toward your wonderful

I Just Found Out My Triglycerides Were Still High
Eddie Bennett replied to Eddie Bennett's topic in RECENT TOPICS
Some of the things I do, PSD, to lower my Trig's, causes me to experience Gout. I take 1,500 mg. of Niacin every day, and didn't realize that was a big cause of Gout. Sense we are on health issues, does anyone else suffer from gout attacks, now and then? -
I Just Found Out My Triglycerides Were Still High
Eddie Bennett replied to Eddie Bennett's topic in RECENT TOPICS
H h S, What brought mine down from 400 to 170, in the last 6 months is 600 mg of GEMFIBROZIL, twice a day. That is generic for LOPID. I couldn't afford the LOPID. To get my blood test I go to the Carroll County Health Department. None of the other counties do blood tests. Thank God Carroll county does. It's $35.00, at the Health Dept. I think a doctor's office charges about $100.00. I suggest that you do something, like what has been talked about, here in this topic, to lower a 550 mg/dL with your trig's. -
I Just Found Out My Triglycerides Were Still High
Eddie Bennett replied to Eddie Bennett's topic in RECENT TOPICS
Glucose was high, DR! It was 104 mg/dL. I drink to much 100% fruit juices. I need to slow down on those. I've got to build my HDL up to at least 40 mg/dL, it is low at 33. Thank you, DR! Thank the rest you you also. I hope you guys can bring those try's down. Mine was 400 6 months ago, so I must have done something better. I'll try some fish oil this time. -
How concerned should I be with 170 mg/dL regarding my triglycerides. And 33 mg/dL with my HDL cholesterol?

Bernard and Ruth Madoff Have Been Stripped
Eddie Bennett replied to Eddie Bennett's topic in RECENT TOPICS
Madoff, 71, masterminded the largest and most sweeping Ponzi scheme ever, and now faces the possibility of spending the rest of his natural life in prison. The government announced Friday night that it had seized all of Bernard Madoff's property in a deal that also forces his wife to give up homes and property worth millions. Federal prosecutors obtained a $170 billion legal judgment against Madoff. Go to CNN, for the rest of the story. What about the rest of the people in this racketeer influenced and corrupt organization? -

Why should one man take the fall when there was a racketeer influenced an corrupt organization (RICO)? -

I think they should go even further. This man could not steal $170 billion, without help from all kind of sources. This was a racketeer influenced and corrupt organization (RICO), and not just one man and his wife. -

I'm not BC, 1n, but I appreciate that information. I haven't given it any thought about the rotation of supplies should br considered, but you are right, they should be. -
Some People Think Health Care Reform Won't Benefit Them
Eddie Bennett replied to Eddie Bennett's topic in RECENT TOPICS
Dr. John Lumpkin (directer of the Health Care Group for the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation), says: "There is enough evidence that it is time to do something and do the right thing." He also says: "There are many ways to solve our health care problem, but we will come up with a uniquely American solution, and that solution will be a mixed public and private solution." -

Some People Think Health Care Reform Won't Benefit Them
Eddie Bennett replied to Eddie Bennett's topic in RECENT TOPICS
Mention health care reform and immediately people worry that they will have fewer options, involving doctors, treatment, and diagnostic testing. These concerns comes largely during discussions of comparative effectiveness research (CER): research on which treatments work and which don't. But 18 organizations in a broad coalition, including NFIB (small businesses organization), Consumers Union, and Families USA, support CER (comparative effectiveness research), and believe that it will prevent errors and give physicians the information they need to practice better medicine. Doctors routin -

Just because you have access to lots of doctors who prescribe lots of treatments doesn't mean you're getting good care. In fact, researchers at Dartmouth College have found that patients who receive more care actually fair worse than those who receive less care. In a particular egregious example, heart attack patients in Los Angeles spent more days in the hospital and underwent more tests and procedures than heart attack patients in Salt Lake City. (Medicare also paid $30,000 for the L.A. patients' care, while Salt Lake City patient who had a better outcome, health wise, cost only $23,000. -
Just because some people have health insurance today doesn't mean they'll have it tomorrow. According to the National Coalition on Healthcare, nearly 266,000 companies dropped their employees' health care coverage between 2000 to 2005. Judy Feder, a professor of public policy at Georgetown University and a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress, a Washington, D.C. based think tank, agree that, "people with insurance have a tremendous stake, because their insurance is at risk." What's more, in recent years the average employee health insurance premium rose nearly eight times faster t

Thanks for all the advise. I will look into these suggestions.

I am about to turn 65 years old, and my mail box has been full of Professional Insurance advertisements and letters wanting to sell me a supplementary insurance policy to cover what medicare will not cover. These professional people, it seems, are all saying that their recommendations are the best for the least amount of out of pocket expense on cost, premiums, and medical service benefits. I definitely want the best for the money I pay. But, if all of them are the best which one do I want to chose. I don't like professional people. They are smooth operators, and are looking after

I tried some of that stuff, but is was my girlfriend's Dippiy Do. I think it worked for my hair, better than Brylcreem.

One of my nick-names was Brylcreem. I had to use a lot of the stuff, because my hair was hard to hold in any kind of position.

Men don't look debonair anymore, like that! Men, now days, need Speedy. Plop plop, fizz, fizz, OH what a relief it is!

Brylcreem, a little dab-el-do-ya, you simply rub a little in your hair.
