  1. how does he dare to steal a cop's car ...who does he think he is ...the heir apparent of an energy drink empire ?
  2. The quality of every human relationship (nations, cultures, individuals ) depends on mutual respect and mutual trust I could never trust anymore my wife if I found out she cheated (and I never did it to her) but it seems some couples can overcome it
  3. A few days ago an OP had the same question. "Mometasone spray" solved my problem within one week after suffering many years of a "rebound" of my previous nose spray
  4. When I lived in India 40 years ago we had to pass the tap water through an old fashioned water filter (a stone cylinder) and we still had to boil the outcoming water but we had no health problems during the 4 years I lived there / if I could find this old fashioned filter I would certainly use it again rather than drinking the RO water I am buying now.
  5. I do not know how many years I suffered from "stuffed" or infected sinuses until I realized that I had in fact allergic rhinitis and the cause was too much use of Otrivin nose drops to which I had become addicted, until 5 years ago an ENT doctor recommended a corticortiroid nosespray ( Mometasone) and since then I have no more problems.

    Head or Heart.

    Yes but OP is 88 and at that age health care should also be a factor / one of my British friends who is 84 came back after a stay of 3 years in the UK but now he had a stroke and the health care in Hua Hin private hospitals costs him a fortune...
  7. There is a new Covid variant in Thailand After what I learned from the questioning of Pfizer and Moderna "experts" who were grilled in the Australian Senate I have become very reluctant to update my vaccination with mRNA. For the details just go to DrJohn Campbell's contributions at Youtube. Question : is the traditional AstraZeneca vaccin still available in Thailand (I thought they would manufacture it locally)
  8. How can this scam after so many years of crime reports still convince people?
  9. I import top quality Omega 3 from the USA : I take daily one capsule 1280 mg Omega 3 (with 650 mg of DHA and 450 mg of EPA) in the triglyceride form which has much higher bioavailability then the cheaper ester form. Cost price : 2200 Baht for 120 capsules. Next to this I eat also twice a week one can of Ayam sardines in virgin olive oil (59 Baht per can). I don't think I should increase except if my Omega 3 Index is below 8 %
  10. I have seen the very intersting discussion about Omega 3 fatty acids between Dr Bill Harris and Dr Ronda Patrick : (503) Dr. Bill Harris on the Omega-3 Index: Increasing Omega-3 to Promote Longevity & Transform Health - YouTube It is obvious that intake of omega 3 fatty acids is beneficial for the general health and particularly for the cardiovascular condition. A study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology found that Japanese men had an average omega-3 index of 11.3%, while American men had an average omega-3 index of 5.5% and it seems that the Japanese men - smoking and drinking - have less heart problems than American men who have the same bad habits. My cardiologist does not react when I ask if he can check my Omega 3 Index and the reason could be that his hospital cannot do this test. Can Forum members inform if they have experience in this matter and eventually inform which hospital can check the Omega 3 Index?
  11. Those days of 21 months without government in Belgium a friend a Burmese friend wrote to me : " no government ? Lucky guys !"
  12. My 62 year old Thai wife suffers more and more from cervical spondylosis (arthritis of the neck) The neurologist she consults rejects trying medical cannabis and continues to prescribe the usual medication. Does somebody have a good experience with medical cannabis which does not get you "high" and preferably can be taken by mouth? Eventually where to buy it and which brand name?
  13. To Guru : does Melatonin help you to sleep ? My neurologist now prescribed me Circadin 2 mg (which is melatonin prolonged released) Again it has no effect on me.
  14. Are Burmese and Cambodians also "local folks" ? They take away many thousands of Thai jobs
  15. My prostate was removed in Belgium with robotic -assisted laparoscopy (using Da Vince Laser) : if you can afford it you better choose this to reduce time in hospital and most of all control problems of urine later on. My recovery time at home was about 3 weeks (a lot of pain to sit) but everything went OK
  16. If one day you will be as old me me (I am 80) you may also prefer to get the opinion of experienced Forum members
  17. I don't understand what you mean : Forum members warned me to do my homework before buying a cheap version of the Samsung AZ54. After doing so I went to a Samsung shop and let them do the transfer of the data from the old phone. Should I have reported this to the Forum?
  18. I guess you know that Temazepam is a benzodiazepine which makes you addicted / Zolpidem is easier to stop with / however your doctor should have the last word
  19. I have a 10 year old Samsung smartphone and I plan to buy Samsung Galaxy A54 5G 8/256 On the old Samsung I have 25 Gb (mostly photos) internal data : how can I transfer them to the new Samsung? If no Forum member can help me then of course I can go to a shop but surprisingly the cost of Samsung Galaxy A54 5G 8/256 is nearly 15.000 Baht So I try to buy online from Lazada where the Samsung flagship store charges 13,390 THB and private seller even incredibly lower i.e. 9,373 THB
  20. Thanks to TallGuyJohninBBK and to Connda I lived and worked in China about 20 years ago and so I know there are manufacturers of excellent products and fake products which means we must verify what we buy. Probably the most expensive food supplement is NMN and it is for 90% or more manufactured by Effepharm Shanghai (repacked and resold under other brand names mostly in the USA and UK) : this is an excellent product. However about my question related to Glycerine with a certificate FCC IV my doubt was right and I copy hereunder the reply I got from a manufacturer in China : I need to by Pharmaceutical Grade and not FCCIV grade QUOTE Dear Ferdinand, Good day to you. Got your email forwarded by my colleague and checked with factory, the Glycine food grade is used in the food industry(mainly in seasoning application), and could meet FCC IV grade. While If put it in food supplement, they need to use Glycine Pharmaceticual grade. Regards, UNQUOTE
  21. I have searched many online sources. From one supplier I bought what I supposed to be a Thai product but I got once more glycine made in China (a quality certificate was added but it was based on the international Food Chemicals Codex of 1999 i.e. FCCIV) Does any Forum member know where to buy glycine suitable as food supplement for humans?
  22. Thank you ! Can this Teclast T40 also connect to router for internet connections at home ?
  23. What are the cheapest options for a tablet PC which can also connect to the internet ? (eventually also fit on a separate keyboard) I think 6 Gb RAM should be OK but which generation so that it can later be updated?
  24. I think it was Napoleon who said that "history" are the lies on which everybody agrees (look how history is created during the Donald Trump period)
  25. In the USA they are talking about reparations to the decents of slaves .....will Chuvit the new "saint of Thai politics" now also pay reparations to the girls who made him rich?
