Okay . . . so today . . . let's talk about the "flip-side" of the Conventional NSAIDs that many of us take every day.

So, we now know . . . that taking "pain relievers" of ANY kind . . . can relieve our pain and discomfort . . . BUT . . . they can ALSO cause . . . Gastrointestinal problems Liver damage Kidney damage Heart problems Stomach issues And addiction . . . whether they be an OTC or prescription drug A good example would be . . . taking a "baby aspirin" every day . . . Now . . . the reason "why" we're prescribed this regiment . . . is to help thin our blood and lower "blood clotting"

So . . . today let's refresh to make sure we understand the body's NORMAL function during an injury . . . OR . . . feeling pain from "inflammation"! When we're injured . . . NORMALLY . . . damaged tissue releases chemicals called . . . "PROSTAGLANDINS". These "chemicals" BIND to our nerve endings . . . making them more sensitive and amplifying the "electrical pain signal". The nerve fibers (nociceptors) then "transmit" and electrical "impulse" up the spinal cord to the brain

Okay . . . so, we now know the "mechanics" and the "process" of the body . . . when it comes to experiencing "pain" from yesterday's Health post. Now . . . In 2015 . . . the SAMHSA report stated that . . . 1/3 of our population used "prescription" pain relievers. And as for "over-the-counter" (OTC) pain relievers . . . over 50% of adults take OTC pain relievers weekly or more often. Then in 2020 . . . we started experiencing more "chronic pain" . . . And in today's world . .

Good morning my friends . . . I hope you had a safe and healthy weekend!!! So, with the world in "chronic" PAIN these days . . . Let's take this week and talk about all those "PAIN RELIEVERS" we consume . . . With many . . . on a DAILY BASIS . . . So, what's it all about??? Well . . . let's start at the beginning . . . and understand "WHY" we're in "pain" in the first place . . . WHAT IS "PAIN"??? Well . . . simply put . . . "pain" is an unpleasant sensory and emotional expe

So, in closing this week . . . I think we "all" at some point in our lives . . . have been "guilty" of "dehumanizing" someone or a group of people. You know . . . "thinking" LESS of them . . . because we don't agree with their beliefs or values . . . or how they look or act. So . . . to me . . . "CHANGING THE WORLD'S OUTLOOK" . . . Needs to start "within" . . . We need to be the "leaders" . . . not the "followers" . . . of CHANGE!!! And "change" . . . starts with "humanizatio

And "don't" forget to grab some HEALTHY Sourdough breads!!! AND . . . "ORDER" your "DINNER ROLLS" . . . and . . . "PIES" . . . for your Thanksgiving

So, we've been talking about what's happening in our world this week. And the that . . . "symbolization" . . . is the use of signs, names or other markers to "categorize" groups of people . . . And this process . . . reinforces "dehumanization"!!! Now add . . . "hatred" . . . into this process . . . and it creates and solidifies . . . a dangerous . . . "US" vs "THEM" mentality!!!! This "dehumanization" . . . now denies ones "identity" . . . and "HUMANITY"!!! And "dehumanizing

So, today . . . let's explore the possibility that in today's world . . . we've become "dehumanized" . . . by "symbols"!!!! You know the ones . . . Thumbs up . . . for "likes" Heart . . . for "love it" Smiley hugs . . . for "caring" Lips . . . for sending "kisses" Mad smiley face . . . for "anger" And the list goes on and on . . . What ever happen to actually . . . "talking" to someone??? Now . . . "dehumanization" has always been a "powerful" and "destructive" force in lif

So, yesterday . . . we spoke about how easily it seems in today's world for "humans" to become "dehumanized". So, how did we get to this point of all this "ANGER" and "HATRED" in the world and our lives today??? How did our relationship with others . . . become so "dehumanized"??? Well, "modern" relationships have become a risk due to a combination of . . . historical power structures . . . phycological biases . . . and recent societal shifts . . . And this . . . is due to t

Good Morning my friends . . . I hope you had a wonderful weekend! So, fall is almost over . . . with winter on its way.

So the question for today is this . . . Can we "reverse" SODO Dementia??? Well . . . science states that this "mimicking" dementia called SODO . . . CAN BE TREATED . . . whereas . . . "true" dementia . . . CAN NOT! Me personally . . . I believe "ALL" dementias can be treated successfully. It's just about CORRECTING the body's "internal dialogue". And correcting the body's GI system!!!! You see . . . as we get older . . . our GUT become "less" efficient . . . due to all the an

So today . . . let's continue to break down just WHY . . . "gastrointestinal" (GI) issues are the cause of this "MIMICING" Dementia First up . . . the "disruption" of the blood/brain barrier. You see . . . "GUT" inflammation caused by the ratio of "GOOD" to "BAD" bacteria in the large intestine . . . meaning an unhealthy "bad" more than "good" . . . can "increase the permeability of the gut lining in the small intestine. This in turn . . . allows inflammatory molecules and ba
