Natural Cure for Depression Silenced? | The Mind Unleashed: "By: Dr. Michelle Kmiec, Originally featured on Wake Up World | Depression affects over 25 million Americans a year. But did you know there is a highly effective natural treatment? Inositol – or Vitamin B8. INOSITOL DEFICIENCY LINKED TO DEPRESSION A 1995 study found amazing results treating depression with inositol. As reported in the American Journal of Psychiatry (Vol. 152, No. 5) “the overall improvement in scores on the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale was significantly greater for inositol than for placebo at week 4. No changes were noted in hematology or in kidney or liver function… Inositol had a significant antidepressant effect in this study.”"

Tried Inositol. Does not work. Inositol is just a B vitamin. Ironic that she is a practitioner and wants to sell her services. Just because antidepressants are not safe does not mean that vitamins are or are effective. We simply do not know enough about depression to be able to treat it 100% effectively.


TJ Saggu
I tried it and it helped me within days for moderate depression and anxiety. Both anti-depressants AND Inositol may or may not work for people. It is not one or the other. It's trial and error and finding what works for you, in which dosage, etc.


CONCLUSION
With one in four adults experiencing depression during their lives, this article about a correlation between "Inositol" and depression caught our eye. [Thanks to Joe Holesworth, StratoBlogster]

Sorry that this post is just a teaser. We still would like to know how to beat depression.

MooPig Brain Industry Department :: "Stroke Indicators"

Stick out Your Tongue
Mixed Mashed articles by Pat Darnell  |  May 25, 2014  |  Bryan TX

I URGE ALL MY FRIENDS TO READ & SHARE THIS; YOU COULD SAVE A LOVED ONES LIFE BY KNOWING THIS SIMPLE INFORMATION!!!

Stroke has a new indicator! They say if you forward this to ten people, you stand a chance of saving one life. Will you send this along? Blood Clots/Stroke - They Now Have a Fourth Indicator, the Tongue:

During a BBQ, a woman stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics) ...she said she had just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes.

They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food. While she appeared a bit shaken up, Jane went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening.

Jane's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00 PM Jane passed away.) She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ. Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Jane would be with us today. Some don't die. They end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead.

It only takes a minute to read this.

A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke...totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough.

RECOGNIZING A STROKE

Thank God for the sense to remember the '3' steps, STR. Read and

Learn!

Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.

Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:

S *Ask the individual to SMILE.

T *Ask the person to TALK and SPEAK A

SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently)
(i.e. Chicken Soup)

R *Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.

If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call emergency number immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.

New Sign of a Stroke -------- Stick out Your Tongue

NOTE: Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: Ask the person to 'stick' out his tongue. If the tongue is

'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other that is also an indication of a stroke.

A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this e-mail sends it to 10 people; you can bet that at least one life will be saved.

I have done my part. Will you?

MooPig Sports Trough :: "Go BAYLOR BEARS"

2013 NCAA College Football Polls and Rankings for Week 12 - ESPN:
"AP Top 25 RANK"
TEAM / RECORD / PTS
1 Alabama  9-0  1472
2 Florida State  9-0   1418

8 Clemson  8-1   1049
9 Missouri  9-1   1012
10 Texas A/M  8-2   909"

The last number four MooPig rooted for was probably John McCain when he was climbing up through the Republican ranks for presidential nominee. He ended up number two. That's how we see BAYLOR football team today.

They are proving that they are no one's doormat anymore. Remember the old Southwest Conference? University of Texas used to win all the time. Baylor was a fly-over football team, made up of pre-med students, who might or might not have a propensity to withstand concussions of football play. You know, a concussion might limit one's ability to concentrate on his studies.

Rice and Baylor were both known for their academics, and relative small sized student populations. MooPig Sports Trough Department has been secretly rooting for Baylor since the advent of RG III into the annals of football history. What, you say, calling out Baylor only when they are winning? We are after all one of those lazy bloggers... eh?

MooPig's Famous Last Words Department :: "Ten Myths about Medicare"

Top six myths about Medicare | Reuters: "MYTH ONE: MEDICARE COSTS ARE OUT OF CONTROL

Facts: Medicare spending will soar in the years ahead as the number of seniors grows, but its per-capita growth is slower than private health insurance - and it is getting better. "We may be reaching the point now where Medicare healthcare expenses are growing no more quickly than growth of the economy overall," said John Rother, chief executive officer of the National Coalition on Health Care (NCHC). "That's important, but it might as well be a state secret as far as the public and Congress goes."

The average annual per-capita spending growth rate through 2019 is projected at 3.1 percent for Medicare, compared with 4.9 percent for private insurance plans, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation. The 3.1 percent projection even includes higher payments to doctors as part of a long-term solution to the long-running problem of the sustainable growth rate (SGR) used under current law to control Medicare spending on physician services."

MooPig's Site Review :: "This Modern World, by Tom Tomorrow"

This is a Very Cool Blog
Retrieved by Pat Darnell | Jan 23, 2012 | Bryan TX

MooPig loves the ridicule of despots, the implosion of bombasts... so apparently does Tom Tomorrow.

This Modern World:

Tom Tomorrow:  Scenes from the class war
EXCERPT  |  " ... I would have assumed that the rich get certain amenities in hospitals — larger, private rooms, more attentive doctors, etc. But this would never have occurred to me:

The bed linens were by Frette, Italian purveyors of high-thread-count sheets to popes and princes. The bathroom gleamed with polished marble. Huge windows displayed panoramic East River views. And in the hush of her $2,400 suite, a man in a black vest and tie proffered an elaborate menu and told her, “I’ll be your butler.”(NINA BERNSTEIN. Published: January 21, 2012. HERE)

The punchline, buried deep in the article, comes after an anecdote about the Saudi King taking up an entire floor at another hospital:

The hospital said in a statement: “NewYork-Presbyterian is dedicated to providing a single standard of high quality care to all of our patients.”

But never mind the absurd disparity between first class hospital accommodations and what the rest of us are likely to experience back in steerage. Here’s the bit that’s likely to go viral in the wingnut zombie-lie media:

But even the rainmakers — doctors who bring in such patients — can sometimes resent the tilt toward luxury.

“The one misgiving is patients with Medicare, which pays physicians almost nothing,” said Dr. Brian Katz, 59, a laparoscopic surgeon in scrubs who took a break in the same library later. “Yet those patients will come up here and pay to enjoy five-star comfort.”

The doctor is complaining that rich patients on Medicare can pay for the accommodations while he himself makes no profit. But watch for that to be distorted by Sean Hannity et al. into a story about welfare patients receiving luxury treatment on your tax dollars.

And speaking of the gilded age, here’s a fascinating little article about our plutocrat overlords, and how they behave when they think no one is watching. ... "

MooPig Music Dept asks: "How do they get paid?"

Music is not just Performance Art anymore
by Pat Darnell and the Saxon Northumbrians

It seems our Darnell genealogical Scandinavian sub-line from our great-great-great Granny Priess has evolved into dismal-ology...

http://www.lifelounge.com/True-Norwegian-Black-Metal-by-Peter-Beste.aspx

Study this page of Norwegian black MEtal and you will see what is a symptom of socialized medicine, and basically nothing else better to do.

Then again, it turns out, "...In the early to mid 90s it's reported that particular members of this subculture completely lost their shit and went on a rampage of desecrating graveyards, burning down churches and even committing murder... definitely not the type of dudes you'd want your daughter/sister/friend bringing home to meet the family. Fascinating to look at in a National geographic kind of way though don't you think...?"
[Photographer Peter Beste has spent the last 7 years photographing this dark world and its inhabitants...]

As usual with genealogies and loads of skulls paving their footpaths... After succession, bands of this genre jump around a bit, until we get a couple of major uncertainties.

For instance: Harald IV may not really have been a son of Magnus III. And then Sverre almost certainly was not a son of Sigurd II, but he claimed to be.

You can imagine what that leads to -- probably just a convenient pretext upon which a usurper could fight for the Throne: and since his fight was successful, subsequent aphoristic bands of Norway were descended from them.

After all, this, as above, the genealogy of terse and principled metal bands of Norway is a continuance of Kings of Denmark, Norway, and Sweden.
