Thank you for your expert analysis of this tragedy looking for a place to happen. If they would have taken the time to consult people such as yourself, this would have never happened. Short cutting hard won knowledge is seldom successful as the lessons learned from such a arrogant endeavor have been learned already by others. This is sadly an example of gross egotistical stupidity that has now resulted in unnecessary loss of life.
I worked in R&D electrical engineering years ago and learned quickly that what appears workable theoretically often does not meet expectations in the actual application. Engineers and some project mangers, often have type A egos bigger than the state of Texas. Those anons that are either engineers, or work with engineers, know exactly what I mean. Their egos and overestimation of their own abilities can most certainly lead to tragedies like this sub.
Before moving forward with any project, I utilized the expertise and input of various people at all stages of production and operation - including repair. Their insight was critical. I never wanted anyone hurt, or worse yet killed, from anything I put my hand to. With the help of God, he taught me how to keep my ego in check and take the time and effort to humbly consult with those that knew more concerning their particular wheelhouse - heaven forbid I should tell a veteran how to do their job or to underestimate the importance of their experience. No one was ever hurt or killed on any project I ever worked with due to lack of working out the bugs prior to launch - thank God. Neither was any project I worked on called back to be reengineered because of lack of sufficient problem solving prior to production.
Thank you for your service.
Sounds good. I could not tell that you were using the all pom rather than some of the other garbage out there. You are right that it contains more of the compounds associated with pomegranate. As I stated, fresh juice is different from most of the store bought fruit juices available - they are just straight up pasteurized sugar and not the same as consuming real fruit. I am not a big fan of juice extractors either because as you explained about the pom juice you consume, extractors remove all the other parts of the fruit that also contain health benefit including the fiber that slows down absorption of the sugars. However, fresh juicing with organic fruits and veggies still maintains the vitamins and enzymes that are in the plant.
I am glad you found something that works for you. There is research that does show that pomegranate is good for improving cardio vascular health. It sounds like you are tapping into what that research has shown and have the health benefits to prove it. However, greedy people have been capitalizing on that research by selling completely inferior products touting those same benefits while delivering nothing but the sugars.
Make no mistake. All those sugars are bad because it raises insulin levels in the case of glucose, while the excess unbound fructose has to be processed by the liver. Our bodies are not designed to metabolize the amounts of simple carbs that most people consume today. Why do you think animal products are being attacked the way they are? Industry has been the big driver of high carb, low fat, plant based diets. From experience, vegans in my practice were some of the most challenging patients due to their chronic wasting. I am not a fan of the diets that are being shoved at us. Juicing diets have their benefits for the short term for those that have certain conditions - but it is still not an answer for the long term and it still needs to be focused on the veggies and less fruit than what most people have a palate for. Americans especially are addicted to sugar. Nothing can replace a sensible diet that contains many foods - healthy fats, meats, veggies, and fruits - all organic and as unprocessed as possible.
Thanks for sharing. Your clarification about your juice can no doubt be helpful for others here.
FYI, pomegranate juice is almost nothing but sugar. Any fruit juice that is not fresh made is all but worthless due to the processing. States that allow raw fruit juices without pasteurization fair much better, but it is still not a good choice due to high amounts of fructose. Fruit has the fructose bound up in fiber so it does not dump into your system. Fructose is processed in the same pathways in the liver that also process alcohol. This is why high fructose corn syrup is so bad and we have seen an explosion in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and cirrhosis. Whether it is fruit juice, sports drinks and vitamin drinks with crystalline fructose, or just HFCS, it is all unbound fructose and it is all bad. Agave is in that same camp and it is almost all fructose.
Ding, ding, ding...you got it. Narratives can be damaging to your health and that of your baby. Been in the medical field for 25 years and fought many battles against the so called scientific "concensus" that are built on BS pseudo soft science that is nothing more than opinion promoted by agenda.
PS... Don't buy into the new RSV jab - it is modified RNA and 12 infants died during the trial. Better yet, DO NOT vaccinate your child. Find a holistic pediatrician because if you refuse the mainstream vax schedule they could turn it against you. Do not sign a refusal either - within the wording you will basically be admitting you are a bad parent. This is another reason you may not want to give birth at a hospital. It is a minefield for sure and it is being rigged against parents.
Do not take anything for granted. Do not be afraid to reach out here if you have questions. Lots of good advice from a variety of professional and self taught experts. Take care mommy.
Is Ultrasound Scanning During Pregnancy Worth the Risks?
If we have learned anything from the exposure of the realities of medical practice during Covid, it is that the public is not always being told everything in a clear and honest manner when it comes to informed consent. Your experience with your OB just over vit K in newborns is only the drop in a very large bucket. Do not take anything for granted. Do your homework. There are always differing opinions - many unfortunately are driven by financial or other such agendas. The opinions on the benefits and risks of prenatal ultrasound is no different.
The NO was for their benefit and not your child's. First, it is an extra charge to make money - that is a big driver for one size fits all procedures - especially with kids. Offices that have heavy Medicaid reimbursement often will pad their bills with as much extra stuff as they can get away with to increase their profit margins. With the exception of good private insurance, most Medicaid and other insurances do not provide good reimbursement fees. So an office will often try to be creative to increase revenue. Not a good mix when it comes to health care.
Second, NO effects allow them not to have to engage with their patient. Working with children takes time and skill. So just like schools want to drug kids to make them more controllable in order to increase class size, pediatric dentistry does the same thing thereby allowing pediatric case loads to increase - once again, money.
What really disturbs me here is that this office went behind your back to get permission from a child. They can use fear to manipulate a child against your wishes. This is all part of the whole trend we are witnessing that is attempting to separate parents from their children. Why were you not with your child? If an office is still using Covid protocols as an excuse to not allow you in the treatment room, find another office. Some offices have a general policy of not allowing parents in treatment rooms because of the occasional helicopter parent that can really make things difficult - but most parents are just being parents.
After what you have said, I would even have to question whether your son even had a cavity. Unless decay is obvious, like a hole in the tooth, more incipient early decay is a professional opinion. In an office that is financially focused, the decision to wait on a questionable area may be tilted in the direction of moving forward with possible unneeded treatment. Early decalcification before it breaks down into a hole can be healed if the area on the tooth can recalcify.
Ditch fluoride toothpaste. Look for dentifrices that contain calcium hydroxyapatite - the same mineral compound a tooth is made of. doTERRA essential oils makes a clean paste that contains this compound. Do not brush with the paste. Brush with a little baking soda to neutralize the acid and rinse. Then apply a very small amount of the paste and do not rinse - any extra paste spit into the sink is a waste, so do not use much. Do not rinse or eat and drink anything for at least 30 minutes to allow the minerals to uptake on the teeth. Before bed is a great time to do this so the minerals are undisturbed longer. Most dental damage occurs at night - especially with a mouth breather. Most OTC mouthwashes are not only useless and a waste of money, but their effects can be harmful. Don't use them.
Find another pediatric dentist or a good general that can work with kids. People spend more time shopping for a pair of shoes than they do looking for professional care. Set up an appointment to bring your child to a provider as a first visit and interview them. Your first warning sign is whether they will take the time to answer your questions, or whether they are impatient and indignant that you would even challenge them. This is huge. your current office has demonstrated that your rights as a parent are of no concern to them. Being present allows you also to see how the provider and the staff interact with your child. Once again, any reluctance on their part to allow you to be there is never a good sign.
Thanks for sharing and good luck navigating this minefield called parenthood. It is dangerous out there.
Congrats. Find a midwife and look for a birthing center if you are not going to birth at home. Home is the best so you and your baby are not exposed to whatever is growing in hospitals. Anesthetics do make their way to the baby and drugs them. They are sluggish and can be delayed in feeding. By the way, ultrasound IS damaging to a baby. Also, look into not cutting the cord so quickly like they do in the hospital. There are things still being passed to the baby that they need. God knows best. Good luck with our new Patriot.
Just putting this out there. Make of it what you will. DeSantis is a Bush Trojan horse. Don't think for one minute that the Bush family does not still control Florida and DeSantis. Yale, Harvard Law School, Guantanamo, Skull and Bones, St Elmo's Fire, Bush, neocons, establishment backing including Soros - need we say any more.
RON DESANTIS IS SKULL & BONES AND OVERSAW TORTURE AT GUANTANAMO BAY
No surprise here. He wants Feinstein's Senate seat. He was backing out of the House anyway. So, the question is whether McCarthy is part of a charade, or is he throwing a monkey wrench into Shifty's Senate asperations?
It is hard from our end to know who is doing what. So many mixed signals and so many agendas all in play at the same time. I do know that the rouge operators in State, the DoD, and intel, are on the wrong side of history and have been for many years. There is lots of innocent blood on their hands.
One thing is for certain, that no matter what the power struggles are, the people usually always end up getting the shaft. Frankly, I don't believe in white hats or blacks hats. Things are never that clearly delineated. All the hats are shades of gray.
My grandfather that left Russia always told me, never, never, never, give up your guns. That is good advice no matter what the elitists plan on doing.
Even though those things may be far lower in Russia than other places, the fact that they even exist in Russia should not be overlooked. The Rona was, and is, a scam. I find it hard to believe that Russia could not figure that out. The fact that they also were involved in the world wide scamdemic makes me question how far they are also involved and where they actually draw the lines on the globalist central banker agenda. It does not matter whether how much or how little they are utilized. So, I have to wonder who's side everyone is on, who is being manipulated, and who is calling the shots. This is the world we live in and things definitely are not what they appear to be.
That may be so, but they are having problems with their own version - you just don't hear much about it. In addition, at the beginning of the world wide rollout, people in Russia were showing up with Mac addresses the same as other places.
Think back. Has there been a time, especially in recent history, that the central bankers were not playing all sides of the equation to their advantage? - whether those being played knew it or not.
My mother's family immigrated from Russia prior to the Revolution. I find it ironic that the flow may be reversed. One thing is for certain however; Russia keeps a very tight control over immigration policy. They are very particular as to who they allow to stay - if you know what I mean.
You hit the nail on the head fren. I think this uptick in malaria cases have less to do with GMO mosquitos versus the huge numbers of illegals flooding into the country from areas prone to malaria - like Panama. When these malaria infected people come into the US and are bitten by a mosquito, that infected mosquito then goes on to bite someone else passing the parasite on to the next person. That is how the malaria cycle spreads and why it is so difficult to irradiate. Everywhere the Gates project has been released, it backfires and over time actually increases the mosquito population - but now those mosquitos are super mosquitos that are even harder to control. Therefore, my money is on the illegal problem causing this. I have no doubt that there are all kinds of diseases and parasites being brought into this country where Americans have no resistance - unlike those that have lifelong endemic exposure from their own native countries.
