Posted in Health, Ideas, tagged cellfood, Diabetic foot, maggots on March 28, 2008 | 1 Comment »
My mother-in-law’s eventual above-the-knee amputation in late 2006 started rather innocuously in 2004 when my wife noticed that one of her toe was blackened during a visit to her place. Both thought nothing of it. Neither did I.

Still back to my favourite topic, on isotonic (electrolyte) balance. I think most people who drink or rather binge on alcohol, especially in jugs of beer would again be in danger of brain edema (swelling) and even unwittingly exacerbate alcohol retention leading to drink-driving deaths.

Sometimes I do think about the darnest thing.

Today (8 Mar 2008), a young and innocent looking scout (about 13 years old) appeared outside our flat looking for job. My wife and I asked him why he was doing Job Week alone. His curt reply was that he came in a pair with his friend, but who was elsewhere in the [...]
