   Of the recent deaths of my friends and family (a middle age thing) 90% of them were due to a heart attack no matter what other problems they had. Some seemingly had no health issues other than old age. Of the people I know of who live well

   I'd call it hysteria more than a meme. Similar to the Dutch Tulip Mania in the early 1600s. Every company I worked at gave out cheap plastic tumblers with the company logo everyone threw them in the trash.

    I still recall when my sister worked as a medical secretary for a gastroenterologist she brought home a pamphlet "Be Kind To Your Liver". It's crazy how little people know of their liver; fatty liver, acetaminophen toxicity,

    Lack of care is harm. That's why quacks are so infuriating other than money they take (even in social medical systems) time is lost which means disease progression. For many diseases there is now cure but there may drugs to slow it dow

    I saw this on 60 Minutes I'm amazed this isn't worldwide front page news. Especially just for treating addiction alone. Basically sit in a machine get your head buzzed by ultrasound. All better.

    The word hashtag has almost become a pejorative word. People seem to use like "hashtag whatever" as a taunt. It's like the word karma has become tainted because people only use it to mean something bad as a taunt to someone.

    I've been keeping a food diary since Nov 2014. It started off as a reminder to myself to eat better and fewer calories. I don't want to break the chain I even recorded my meals during over a week of no power after hurricane Fiona.
