Yep. Altho I've been using LivFresh which contains edathamil [1] and has no baking soda. The benefit of it being in your water is that you get that constant little flush of it [1] [Effects of a Novel Dental Gel on Plaque and Gingiviti

Weird teeth-cleaning trick that I discovered from suffering from interstitial cystitis / painful bladder syndrome (IC / BPS): toss a bit of baking soda in your water, such as 1 teaspoon per liter. It makes it alkaline. My teeth go

Hey, got the same thing, diagnosed late 2018 at 33. So far I'm one of the lucky ones: a good biologic (Entyvio) + partial or exclusive enteral nutrition (EEN) got me to manageable. But I have a habit of trawling the scientific literat

Yeah. I'm optimistic that the the relentless long-term competitive march to improved customer experience will include better fraud protections on debit cards. Reduced expenses as technology helps us identify fraud will also help. I hav

Wish you could disintermediate credit card fees. I'm sort of hopeful that credit card surcharging might grow ( https://www.cardx.com/ ) and start competition on those costs.

I focused on property & casualty but yes, the statute usually applies to health insurance, and I think the ACA further codified it as a requirement. While I haven't done a deep dive recently, I doubt health insurance administrative

Close, but not quite. Most states have a statute which says "rates shall not be inadequate or excessive". Pretty much all rate filings I've seen include a return on equity (ROE) in their analysis, and states review that in li

As someone with a chronic illness, thank you for this. I don't want my employer to be responsible for my insurance. I want portability and privacy. I want more than just the options my employer decided to pick. If this becomes a trend,
