  1. Stomach Acid Is Vital For HealthUnpacking the Great Acid Reflux Scam try to find this substack from midwestern doctor .. a VERY good source imo found it for you ! https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/the-great-acid-reflux-scam A Midwestern Doctor Nov 8 ∙ Preview
  2. for those of you who read these types of threads..... rumak's belief , from his research, is that omeprazole is about the worst thing one can take for stomach issues . "reducing acid " is the complete opposite of what is usually needed to get the body back into synch, with older people often using digestive enzymes and also betaine hcl which is used to support digestion in individuals with low stomach acid, allowing for better breakdown of food. yes, fred..... i am aware that your sources do NOT agree with my posting. As they say... up to you.
  3. i take K2 along with the D ....... and boron along with the magnesium
  4. makes sense to me ..........
  5. i never thought i'd run into you .......... but just might see you at the clinic one day .🫠 these posts on this thread listing the attributes of old age waiting rooms here in Thailand almost sent me over the edge. but, i'm hangin' on for now .
  6. It was around 15 years before i joined this motley crew of lonely hearts club expats . welcome to the club . you will definitely regret it ! 🙈😈🥳 LOL
  7. it used to be easy to avoid them here in thailand. but lots of those miserable refugees from the west are invading our shores. got a whole street of them just moved in to their new 100 DW (dalangwa) "pool" villas . and walking around doing videos. sure glad i got in many years of the thai experience before this invasion. next stop : the twilight zone ..................
  8. yeah..... i can relate to that . hmmm. well, i don't subscribe to following any one person or "doctrine" . life is fluid ( that thought just emerged from my own rumak brain ,) before i wandered over to AI who gave a surprisingly worthy response : " A fluid life embraces constant change, adaptation, and growth, allowing for the natural evolution of circumstances rather than forcing a rigid, predetermined path. This mindset encourages letting go of fixed expectations, finding lessons in challenges, and balancing future goals with present-moment awareness." so....... i appreciate hearing other people's methods of transversing this journey . personally i am not into giving credit or worship to any "god" ...... but do have my unique method of madness , somehow mixing humor, humility, and honesty into some kind of spiritual search . sometimes a nice homecooked meal and a good nights sleep helps a lot . I do, btw...... start the morning off with a glass of water . note: i will check out this fellow Bechamp . aha : the terrain theory .
  9. They're all just parroting everything they are fed by the trusted narrators . youhoo . polly wanna jab ?
  10. Actually , proportionately those rates have remained the same over the last 20 years . the young ladies charge by the kilo !
  11. I practice that line daily..... looking in the mirror with my best De Niro accent (taxi driver ) "You talking to me ? " de niro "watch your step !" .... added dialogue by rumak those robots are coming, boys. and i seriously doubt that appreciation of humor has been programmed into their armor .
  12. yes, they did . robots are just around the corner
  13. I would definitely COMPLAIN ..... and ask why the water bill was always so high before !!
  14. SM.....you got this one right ! I have been harping on possibly the greatest "fear" of all that my sixth sense tells me ," it's coming ...coming... and just getting bigger and more inescapable by the moment " . technology ! Surely the biggest, baddest weapon ever to emerge from mankinds effort to control others . To quote TriTorch (substack) : The billionaire class is investing hundreds of billions of dollars into humanoid robots. Not wheeled robots. Not industrial arms on factory floors. Humanoid robots with legs that walk and run and climb stairs and navigate rough terrain exactly the way a human soldier does. So.....while Health officials stress preventive measures and seek heightened awareness with regards to ONE case of Parrot Fever ....... I do think y'all will one day be in for a big shock when a knock on your door finds you face to robot face with Hercules the Humanoid . Preventative measures ?? hahahahahahaha nada chance
  15. i don't know about you...... but i got my mask on already ! Ya never know when you're gonna look up at the beautiful sky, smile.... and SPLAT ! That bird flying above just let go a big one right into your open mouth .
  16. Well ! I've been saying the same thing for quite a while . Happy to see that Dr. Malhotra agrees 😀
  17. And, i'm in the mood for some more hateful thumbs down from the usual suspects ...... so, i'll just add this little tidbit to the mix :
  18. True . Also some other causes are more prominent in certain geographic areas . Such as Thailand : sudden blood pressure elevations caused by ever increasing costs of maintaining the sick buffalo. India : neck deformities created by severe head wobbles
  19. Yep ! Total BS from leftie mouthpieces .
  20. I believe you too !! Sorry to hear about your issues afterwards . Millions are in the same boat, but its useless to "debate" about it here or many other forums . If you are not getting well.... you can turn to some of those "crazy" substack authors who address the subject . I only do so on AN to confirm how many deniers are still walking around (and collect my hate emojis) . LOL
  21. I'm always am nice to people, but after all these years... (and maybe the times we live in) .... my experience with lots of people ( especially the farangs i encounter that come to Thailand or post on the internet ) , is that it just ain't worth associating with them. I tried to warn so many about the dangers of taking the covid vax .... and man, it's like i shot their sister or something. hahaha i am enjoying watching the thumbs down clowns expressing their outrage . See ... try to be helpful and ya just get no thanks. 😅
  22. Don't make the mistake i did. I also had a very low PSA at every blood test..... therefore thinking that my prostate was just fine . Thus the "surprise" when my urinary issues began, and "urgency" was a real wake-up call . PSA does have some use in regards to possible cancer . It did not give any indication of my BPH (an enlarged bladder) . An ultrasound ( find a urologist that has one included in exam ) will reveal how large one's prostate is . Often prostate size increases more rapidly after 60 !
  23. maybe its just a trial for when all the phones in the world (not of blue color) ....... blow up ! oh, lord.......... why do these thoughts enter this mind ! 🤨
  24. and you can easily and quickly change "partners" if the first one ain't doin it for you
  25. The funny thing is ...... people who are "on the fringe " , the ones so many like to call the "conspiracy theorists" ....... are often the ones who get it RIGHT !
