Happy 2018!!!
We survived 2017. Amazing! If I had the energy I'd jump on the bed like the gal did in "The Holiday" Speaking of which, we've had a very nice, quiet holiday. I can't believe how fast 2017 flew by! I can't believe that I've been keeping this blog since 2006.....12 years!We've had a few issues the past month. Something happened to the hardware in his back from the spinal fusion surgery and he had about 3 days of not moving at all. It resolved itself - thank goodness!He is still vomiting about every other night. So he gets a good night's sleep and then is awake the next night. Is i...

Matthew Holt ’ s EOY 2017 letter (charities/issues/gossip)
Right at the end of every year I write a letter summarizing my issues and charities. And as I own the joint here, I post it on THCB! Please take a look–Matthew Holt
Well 2017 has been quite a year, and last year 2016 I failed to get my end-of-year letter out at all. This I would like to think was due to extreme business but it probably came down to me being totally lazy. On the other hand like many of you I may have just been depressed about the election–2016 was summed up by our cat vomiting on our bed at 11.55 on New Years Eve.
Having said that even though most of you will never comment on this letter and I ...

This is a guest post by Dr Ben Symon (@symon_ben). Ben is a paediatric emergency physician in Queensland and one of the creators of Simulcast.
When I was thirteen years old, my father told me about the Milgram Shock Experiment. I vividly remember sitting at our kitchen table as he told me that study participants willingly dialled up the voltage of an electric shock on another person and that despite believing the shock might kill the confederate, the majority completed the ...

The Boys From Silicon Valley
By MARGALIT GUR-ARIE
A few weeks ago one man, named @jack, decided that millions of people will be allowed to use up to 280 characters when expressing themselves on Jack’s public square platform. One man decides how many letters each and every one of us, including the “leader of the free world”, can use when we talk to each other. Just like that. Nobody seemed the least bit perturbed by this notion. Another dude, named Mark, decided to ask people for nude pictures of themselves, so he can better protect them from the bad guys. We shrugged that off too. Then, in a most embarrassing exercise in public humiliation, our ...

Christmas with Nana: The Joys of Giving and Giving Back
We called our grandmother on my mother’s side “Nana.” Nana was a widow for most of my life. Back in 1965, my grandfather died when I was about two-years-old. Nana supported herself after that, and although she worked a full-time job, she was poor. She lived in a one-bedroom apartment overlooking Lake Erie. She enjoyed the simple pleasures: watching the boats float on the water, entertaining her family on the weekends, swimming alone at midnight in the apartment’s tiny swimming pool.
How did we know Nana was poor?
She didn’t have enough money to do her laundry at the laundromat, so she did it in her bathtub. After...

Wheat Belly Pumpkin Pie
Well, the holidays roll around once again . . . and it’s time for everything pumpkin!
Here is a reminder of how us grain-free folk make a wonderful and delicious pumpkin pie that is wheat- and grain-free. Without grains, it does NOT stimulate appetite, does NOT send blood sugar sky-high, does NOT add to arthritis/joint pain, acid reflux, irritable bowel symptoms, leg edema, depression, moodiness, migraine headache, hypertension, dementia, heart disease, or cancer. You can just have your nice big slice of pumpkin pie, even with a big dollop of whipped cream, all without worries.
The pumpkin puree poses only a slight p...

Geroscience Interviews Michael Fossel on the Subject of Telomeres and Aging
Geroscience recently published a long two part discussion with Michael Fossel. He is among the more prominent advocates for treating aging as a medical condition from the past few decades, and has written a couple of books on the topic. As a very brief summary of his views, I'd say he is fairly narrowly focused on telomerase therapies and telomere lengthening as a mode of treatment. This isn't because he sees telomere erosion, the reduction in average telomere length in tissues over the course of a life, to be a cause of aging. Rather he sees it as a convenient point of intervention that might at least partially reverse ma...

Blatant Discrimination
I recently learned some surprising discrimination. A local committee part of the NHS in the UK hasdecided to institute what I call blatant discrimination." ...one local health committee in the UK has announced a controversial policy " to support patients whose health is at risk from smoking or being very overweight. "For an indefinite amount of time, it plans to ban access to routine, or non-urgent, surgery under the National Health Service until patients " improve their health, " the policy states, claiming that " exceptional clinical circumstances (will) be taken into account on a case-by-case basis. "The decision comes ...

I Did It Again
Yes, I did it again. I over did things. I have to recover by spending a day in bed. I have lots of yarn to knit. I have an ice pack for my knee. I did some of my exercises. And I do plan to get up and take a shower eventually. But I have no plans to do much else today.We have a house guest again, one of my cousins. Yesterday we did what both of us consider to be fun. We went to an estate sale which had some craft materials and the New England Quilt Museum (worth a stop if you are near). My cousin quilts and I am a craft junkie who is about to add quilting to my repertoire. It was very nice to get out of the house and do so...

The Use and Abuse of " Reciprocity " in Trade Policy
One of the big demands of the Trump administration is that trade, and trade agreements, must be “reciprocal.” Their concerns about reciprocity are misplaced, and miss the point about why we open our markets in the first place. Sure it’s great when other countries also open their markets, but there is more to be gained from unilateral opening than no liberalization at all. Frédéric Bast iat explained this peculiar desire for reciprocity inEconomic Sophisms, wherehe wrote:There are people (a small number, it is true, but there are some) who are beginning to understand that obstacles are no less obstacles for being ar...

Trade Emotional Suppression for Emotional Magic
Are you emotionally suppressed?
I heard, “Be nice,” a lot from my mom growing up. If you’re a woman, you’re probably a lot like me. Most times it wasn’t about what I was doing, but rather about what I was feeling. And mostly, I was feeling angry.
But anger wasn’t okay.
Later, I remember crying when I was angry. But I was told to not cry. So it wasn’t okay to be angry, and it wasn’t okay to be sad, and it wasn’t okay to cry. So navigating an emotional life became a minefield. Oh, the stories I could tell!
Maybe you were emotionally suppressed, too.
