Just wanted to add this anecdote in case people want to get frisky with fermented hot sauces. I’ve been experimenting with fermented hot-sauce equivalents of Indian pickles, using green mango, dried lemon, turmeric, fenugreek, nigella, must

I am not terribly old, but my dad insisted I drive stick (he grew up with a manual crank-start car in India), and all of my cars were manual until I went EV. I think I was far more attentive driving a manual, and that’s carried over but slo

Rheumatologists in particular care deeply about inflammation markers in both blood and imaging. Unfortunately the presence of inflammation doesn’t always pinpoint which rheumatic condition (if any) you have. But gastroenterologists and even

Small modifications = don’t plop it into hot oil like you’d do with fresh ginger garlic or it will splatter on you. Usually I saute onion or something else and then add the cube. The brand I find in my local grocery is the same as TJs — Dor

I buy the frozen ginger and garlic cubes TJs has and that’s been a revelation. Fresh taste, no prep, only slight modifications to use. The snobs can go rub stainless steel with their garlic scented hands!

Americans also often don’t have the same relationship with their nuclear families. In India, and from what I’ve heard Europe and AUNZ, it’s not uncommon to live at home and commute to university and sometimes after. That’s anathema to the A

And Rogaine. It was also created to treat High BP as a powerful vasodilator. Turns out it made you hairy too. Maybe we should spend all of our R&D pursuing High BP -- who knows what other ailments we'll cure!

Also in my experience it’s very standard for dentists to quickly go out on their own —- many towns will have multiple dentists and none to one doctor or vet clinic. Then again I’m seeing places like Aspen Dental popping up all over the plac

Right. So two furnaces run at 98.6. Is it not possible that one is more efficient at maintaining that temp (slow metabolism) versus one that is inefficient(fast metabolism). That’s why people suggest finding your basal metabolic rate (BMR)

Whoa! Probably not wise to casually suggest people pop corticosteroids if their “inflammation is in overdrive” based on some blood tests. Seems like something a doctor needs to evaluate given the serious side effects of their use.
