The carnivore diet is doing amazing things in our assisted living homes!

How do the Russians know that the UK blew up the North Stream pipelines in partnership with the US?

COLONOSCOPIES: Procedure is done with an endoscope, a reusable optical instrument that can be cleaned but not sterilized

Besides, colonoscopies confer no real benefit.  They're unnecessary.  

Bill Sardi writes

I frequently receive inquiries about colonoscopies. People want to know whether they are worthwhile. Certainly colonoscopy, the passage of a fiber optic tube into your intestinal tract to examine for pre-cancerous growths (called polyps) or to directly detect observable tumors in the colon or rectum, is a hard sell. Not only is colonoscopy an ordeal for the patient, a weak economy is forcing more patients to forego this diagnostic procedure as it does cost a few hundred dollars out of pocket. So is the recent news that colonoscopy cuts the death risk for colon cancer in half enough to get 50-plus-year-olds to part with their money and endure this uncomfortable procedure?

The bigger problem is not affordability or discomfort during the procedure, the problem is that, regardless of what you are told by doctors or what you read in news reports, colonoscopy offers implausible benefits.

First, patients are supposed to buy into the idea that detection and removal of intestinal polyps is life saving. But colonoscopy does nothing to prevent polyps from recurring. One study reported more than 40% of the time a surgically removed polyp does in fact return.

Second, do polyps equate with cancer? Colon cancer may emanate from flat growths that simply cannot be detected during colonoscopy. Even the best trained physician may not be able to detect the smallest polyps which is the entire reason for the test, to detect precancerous growth at their earliest stage of development. Even then, the best-trained physician can miss small tumors in the colon. The miss rate for the smallest growths (less than 5 millimeters in size) is around 25%. In one study of 2079 patients who underwent colonoscopy, colon cancer was detected in 13 patients, 7 (58%) who undergone prior colonoscopy and whose cancers were missed or were incompletely removed

Parasites (Tapeworms) in Fish from High-End Sushi Restaurant. Yikes!!

The other day I posted about parasites in pork, a pork chop to be specific.  I've loved pork through the years--bacon, pulled pork, carnitas tacos, and ribs even after knowing what they feed the pigs in farms.  

Parasites show up at about the 6:30 mark.  I haven't eaten sushi in years.  It may be difficult to eat sushi or sashimi ever again after this.  It's one thing for someone to warn you against parasites in food; it's quite another thing for you to see them . . . live burrow into the meat of a fish.  And I couldn't imagine going into a sushi joint where a chef didn't like you.  LOL.  

POTENTIAL PENALTY TO PFIZER: The penalty is up to $21,000 per injection. Do that math. 160 million times 21,000 = $3.36 trillion.

The penalty is up to $21,000 per injection.  Do that math.  160 million times 21,000.  The statute should do is be the death knell of Pfizer.
