Methanol Cocktails Leave Two Australian Women Critically ill in Thailand
So this raises the question what do you do if you suspect methanol poisoning if you are not near a hospital. The answer is: get a high-proof ethanol (vodka, etc) and immediately start drinking it to get ‘drunk’. Meanwhile, you can be making your way to a hospital to get complete management. The idea is to stay ‘drunk’ for several days if you are not near a hospital. Otherwise, the hospital can manage the IV administration of ethanol to you so as to save your life. Hospitals have another antidote, fomepizole, in addition to IV ethanol, but it is very expensive and many hospitals don’t carry it. The enzyme, ADH, that breaks down methanol into toxic metabolites can be ‘interrupted’ by ingesting ethanol. This is because ADH prefers ethanol and when the ethanol is there, the methanol is less likely to be broken down into its terrible metabolites. This is why some methanol poisonings are not fatal—because the drinkers were also drinking ethanol. They are the lucky ones. The ones drinking only methanol have a much graver prognosis. If you cannot make it to a hospital soon it would be a good idea to call a poison control center, such as California Poison Control, open 24 hours, and they can aid you in how to properly stay drunk for whatever number of days they recommend. 1-800-222-1222 Following quote is from Goldfrank’s Manual Of Toxicologic Emergencies” 2007 Edition. Chapter on Toxic Alcohols pgs 804-808 and chapter on Ethanol 813-816. “If there will be any delay in obtaining ethanol for intravenous use (for methanol poisoning), oral therapy with ethanol should be initiated immediately” (pg 816) Also important is to replenish body fluids by making homemade Gatorade—Oral Rehydration Solution. In one liter of water put two TABLEspoons of sugar and one-half TEAspoon (1/2 tsp) of salt. Drink this frequently. When you get to a hospital they will give you IV Saline (salt water intravenously). -

Kalasin’s Oldest Resident Passes Away at 121
A British lady Dorothy Howe went viral two years ago for insisting that Bell's whisky and Superkings Black cigarettes were the reason she'd made it to 100. She claims even her doctor agrees, but would neither confirm nor deny if her "doctor" was in fact a 19-year-old frat bro. France's Jeanne Calment passed in 1997, but she still holds the record for oldest person ever at 122. And she didn't get there by eating a ton of carrots. Calment had a weakness for port wine and cigarettes, only giving up smoking in the last five years of her life. But she was especially fond of chocolate. There's going to be a lot of long-living by expats in Pattaya. -

W.P. Columnist Sparks Controversy With Fiery Claims Against Republicans
Her remarks should not be controversial. We know school shootings would be far fewer without guns. We know that infant mortality would be far greater without mortality. For the GOP it's corporations before people. -

RFK Jr. compared Trump to Hitler and his fans idiots
Trump is a 'piker' compared to Hitler. Albeit Trump's lack of Concern for Americans as Covid 19 began its infectious run in America, "the United States could have avoided 400,000 COVID deaths if the Trump administration had implemented a more effective health strategy that included mask mandates, social distancing, and robust testing guidelines." (my bold) "New Revelations Emerge on How Donald Trump Killed 400,000 (or More) Americans," https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2021/11/ 'It's going to disappear': A timeline of Trump's claims that Covid-19 will vanish," https://edition.cnn.com/interactive/2020/10/politics/ "(Trump) declared at least 38 times that Covid-19 is either going to disappear or is currently disappearing." "You know, a lot of people think that goes away in April with the heat — as the heat comes in. Typically, that will go away in April." "It’s going to disappear. One day — it’s like a miracle — it will disappear. And from our shores, we — you know, it could get worse before it gets better. It could maybe go away. We’ll see what happens. Nobody really knows".
