  1. Putin is just stalling so that Trump never puts on secondary sanctions. Trump is such a fool!
  2. Three dementia checkers. That's brilliant. Did you come up with yourself?
  3. This idea is inspired by a hostile post in the regular medical forum suggesting that we have something like a "Quack's Corner" as a separate forum. While I'm not suggesting a literal Quack's Corner even though it's a deliciously catchy name, I think there might the root of a need in that. To spell this out, on the regular health forum it is very understandably not allowed to post articles from the popular press about medical information and news. Yet in real life so many of us do read that stuff and might want to the chance to discuss it with others and get feedback. Also a huge portion of modern people take supplements of many kinds without consulting a doctor because we've read about them in news or other online sources. On top of that, I'm sure that many people don't even disclose all the details of that to doctors out of embarrassment. Going further as this is an expat in Thailand forum, it's certain that many people are buying powerful and potentially dangerous meds at pharmacies without scrips that they have SELF prescribed for themselves. Such as antidepressant meds. So I'm sure there is a demand for discussion on such matters. I can't answer if just because there is a demand whether it SHOULD be done. But I'm making the suggestion for consideration by the management here. Not sure what the title of such a new forum should be. Maybe put it out there for non silly suggestions? In other words, NOT Quack's Corner.
  4. Again you're not getting the message here. Oh well.
  5. Off topic but I'm definitely a pro-vaxer. Remember polio? As as a kid we all had to get the jab or stay away from school. That was good and we liked it.
  6. It shouldn't be an either/all contest. There are medical benefits from behavior and diet and there are also medical benefits from western medicine and meds. It's a case by case situation.
  7. Very interesting. Well I can look up info about drug interactions but good point. My food cravings aren't very dramatic except for something delicious (usually savory and spicy). Only rarely do I go for desserts though I do eat a lot of fresh fruit. I eat so much brocolli that I get it delivered by the kilo.
  8. What a provocative question. We all make medical decisions for ourselves. If you have a bad headache do you pop a pill or run to the ER? I don't take your question seriously as it seems to be a troll bait tactic.
  9. Probably the biggest factor is hygiene such as running water.
  10. As Thailand doesn't offer any path towards residence security for those on retirement status, it's always wise to have a Plan B (or several of them).
  11. I wouldn't really be expecting any dramatic quick benefits. I'm most interested in the possibly true but unproven long term benefits mostly prevention for multiple things that I am not talking about here out of respect for not broadcasting "pop culture" medical news. In other words day by day if something really bad DOESN'T happen, you're cool with that, but you dont really look for a reason something really bad DIDN'T happen. But when something really bad DOES happen ...
