  1. I never heard of going on diet being part of detox. I thought detox is when you drink some thing to go to bathroom or fasting for 2 or 3 days. It says here about bananas. Bananas contain fructans — a type of FODMAP (fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides and polyols). FODMAPS are a group of fermentable carbohydrates that can be hard to digest, sometimes worsening symptoms such as diarrhea and gas. Due to this, consider limiting bananas if they worsen diarrhea.
  2. I don’t see any thing there on colon detox. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/?term=colon+detox
  3. How do I know what are some reputable sources and not sources the company is putting out to push such treatment?
  4. What is this I hear about people doing colon detox. Is this where they drink some thing and it flushes out the colon or they are fasting for two or three days? And this colon detox what is it used for is it to help symptoms of say (IBS) Irritable bowel syndrome, crohn's Disease, colitis, bloating or gas. Also what is this I hear about colon hypnotherapy?
  5. Could they not use stem cells and grow stem cells than transplant that in him? Or this guy needed new organ?
  6. I can’t get data on it. But in the US 100 years ago there is data on it. That's a big change from 1900, when infectious diseases like pneumonia, tuberculosis and diarrhea accounted for almost half of all deaths. The historical decline represents great progress in sanitation, antibiotic discovery and vaccination programs, says Heidi Brown, an assistant professor of public health at the University of Arizona and an author of the research letter. "We've done phenomenal and amazing things with respect to infectious diseases," she says. NPRInfectious Diseases Keep Delivering Surprises To The U.S.The death toll from pneumonia and other infectious diseases in the U.S. is much lower than it was 100 years ago, but new pathogens like the West Nile, dengue and Zika viruses pose challenges. Vaccination Strategic vaccination campaigns have virtually eliminated diseases that previously were common in the United States, including diphtheria, tetanus, poliomyelitis, smallpox, measles, mumps, rubella, and Haemophilus influenzaetype b meningitis (8). With the licensure of the combined diphtheria and tetanus toxoids and pertussis vaccine in 1949, state and local health departments instituted vaccination programs, aimed primarily at poor children. In 1955, the introduction of the Salk poliovirus vaccine led to federal funding of state and local childhood vaccination programs. In 1962, a federally coordinated vaccination program was established through the passage of the Vaccination Assistance Act--landmark legislation that has been renewed continuously and now supports the purchase and administration of a full range of childhood vaccines. The success of vaccination programs in the United States and Europe inspired the 20th-century concept of "disease eradication"--the idea that a selected disease could be eradicated from all human populations through global cooperation. In 1977, after a decade-long campaign involving 33 nations, smallpox was eradicated worldwide--approximately a decade after it had been eliminated from the United States and the rest of the Western Hemisphere. Polio and dracunculiasis may be eradicated by 2000. Antibiotics and Other Antimicrobial Medicines Penicillin was developed into a widely available medical product that provided quick and complete treatment of previously incurable bacterial illnesses, with a wider range of targets and fewer side effects than sulfa drugs. Discovered fortuitously in 1928, penicillin was not developed for medical use until the 1940s, when it was produced in substantial quantities and used by the U.S. military to treat sick and wounded soldiers. Antibiotics have been in civilian use for 57 years (see box 1) and have saved the lives of persons with streptococcal and staphylococcal infections, gonorrhea, syphilis, and other infections. Drugs also have been developed to treat viral diseases (e.g., herpes and HIV infection); fungal diseases (e.g., candidiasis and histoplasmosis); and parasitic diseases (e.g., malaria). The microbiologist Selman Waksman led much of the early research in discovering antibiotics (see box 2). However, the emergence of drug resistance in many organisms is reversing some of the therapeutic miracles of the last 50 years and underscores the importance of disease prevention. https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm4829a1.htm
  7. Is this CRISPR-Cas9 or some other CRISPR? First gene-edited islet transplant in a human passes functional trial. Uppsala University Hospital-led investigators report that gene-edited donor islet cells survived 12 weeks inside a man with long-standing type 1 diabetes without any immunosuppressive medication. https://medicalxpress.com/news/2025-08-gene-islet-transplant-human-functional.html And why did they deigned it to only last 12 weeks? After 12 weeks would problem not come back? Why did they not use gene editing on his own cells?
  8. What infections are you talking about back in that time? These infections 5 ancient diseases and what the ancients said about them https://www.gavi.org/vaccineswork/5-ancient-diseases-and-what-ancients-said-about-them Or these 14 Diseases Nearly Eliminated by Vaccines https://resources.healthgrades.com/right-care/vaccines/14-diseases-nearly-eliminated-by-vaccines
  9. What where the virus and bacteria back than killing so many people and babies?
  10. It is not just the Middle Ages. In ancient Egypt they did not live long. https://blogs.ucl.ac.uk/researchers-in-museums/2015/03/02/old-age-in-ancient-egypt/ People in ancient Egypt did not grow very old. Very high infant death rates due to high risks of infections resulted in an average age at death of 19 years. However those who survived childhood had a life expectancy of 30 years for women* and 34 years for men. Most ancient Egyptians were unlikely to live beyond 40 years of age
  11. From my understanding there talking about using CRISPR-Cas9 to treat including rheumatoid arthritis (RA), inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), multiple sclerosis (MS), type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM), psoriasis, and type 1 coeliac disease. QUOTE Autoimmune diseases are disorders that destruct or disrupt the body's own tissues by its own immune system. Several studies have revealed that polymorphisms of multiple genes are involved in autoimmune diseases. Meanwhile, gene therapy has become a promising approach in autoimmune diseases, and clustered regularly interspaced palindromic repeats and CRISPR-associated protein 9 (CRISPR-Cas9) has become one of the most prominent methods. It has been shown that CRISPR-Cas9 can be applied to knock out proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) or block PCSK9, resulting in lowering low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. In other studies, it can be used to treat rare diseases such as ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC) deficiency and hereditary tyrosinemia. However, few studies on the treatment of autoimmune disease using CRISPR-Cas9 have been reported so far. In this review, we highlight the current and potential use of CRISPR-Cas9 in the management of autoimmune diseases. We summarize the potential target genes for immunomodulation using CRISPR-Cas9 in autoimmune diseases including rheumatoid arthritis (RA), inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), multiple sclerosis (MS), type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM), psoriasis, and type 1 coeliac disease. This article will give a new perspective on understanding the use of CRISPR-Cas9 in autoimmune diseases not only through animal models but also in human models. Emerging approaches to investigate the potential target genes for CRISPR-Cas9 treatment may be promising for the tailored immunomodulation of some autoimmune diseases in the near future. QUOTE What is this CRISPR-Cas9 how would they treat it? Are they changing the genes or turning the genes off?

  12. Why infants and children died at a horrific rate in the Middle Ages? Quote For starters, infants and children died at a horrific rate (some say up to 1/3 of all died before the age of 5) Quote https://www.sarahwoodbury.com/life-expectancy-in-the-middle-ages/ Why did infants and children died at a horrific rate in the Middle Ages? Most people only lived to mid 40s. What happen in the Middle Ages people died so early? Was there just more bacterial and virus back in that time?
  13. So what can be done about judges that bring politics into courts. Because judges are not suppose to be liberal or conservative they suppose to interpret the law. It sad that Trump is filling the courts with his right wing Mega judges. And sad thing is Trump will not be last there be other Trump just as bad. It sad when judges are not suppose to be liberal or conservative but the courts have just been other edition of congress now. Did the founders not know the judicial system would just be other branch of congress by bringing politics to courts.
  14. It seems really not democratic at all if president can be charge of the DOJ and Supreme Court. And the president can appoint judges seems really not democratic. I’m surprised the laws allow for this sort of thing. It raises red flags also when a president fires judges he does not like.
  15. So if democracy and institutions are failing in the US how do they fix that so it does not turn into fascism?
  16. How could the founders not know that the president would not consolidate the DOJ and Supreme Court for abuse of power? Why would founders set it up only his own party can impeach him. It seems very unlikely the own party would impeach president. The republicans where different back than, now Trump is cult leader and so all the republicans say yes to Trump the same with MEGA base.
  17. Why does it have to be the Attorney General that goes after Trump? Why would the founding fathers allow the president to control the DOJ and the Supreme Court? That is conflict of interest if president can break law and the DOJ and Supreme Court can’t go after Trump because they take orders from Trump. Why would the founding fathers allow the system to be set up like this? Does it the founding fathers know own party will not impeached the president for breaking the law? It seems not democracy at all and flawed if that what founding fathers did not know could happen.
  18. So would it be supreme court or DOJ that would go after Trump for violation the law? Most likely someone just giving Trump papers to appear in court by orders of the judge. I doubt Trump would get arrested. papers just saying you in contempt orders by judge to appear in court some thing along those lines. No but that would be the next thing judge would do for not listening to judge orders.
  19. Are you saying you can’t contempt president only a government employee? That president has powers that you can’t contempt? It seem to be more than Garcia case as Trump is doing things that are in violation of the law. Trump going after immigrants that got citizenship and removing their citizenship. Also Trump going after born citizens and removing their citizenship. I’m sure all this is illegal Sending people to jail in other country. All this seems illegal the same with suing media outlets that say bad things about Trump all seem very illegal. So where is the courts doing about this? NOTHING?
  20. I thought there was number of times Judge said no to Trump or said this and Trump not listening to the Judge orders. Would that not make it contempt it would happen to any other person? Could Judge not issue arrest warrant to appear in court for not listing to Judge orders?
  21. Could a court judge not take it to the Supreme Court and Supreme Court issue contempt of court for Trump? I don’t read all the news like some. Just headlines of others and big news stories. But I do remember Trump deporting illegal immigrants with out a court case with each immigrant reviewing each case. Than Trump going after immigrants that got citizenship and removing their citizenship. Also Trump going after born citizens and removing their citizenship. I also read that he sues the media outlet that says bad things about him. This seems violation of the law.
  22. Why do you think courts can do this? Gentle reminder that he was impeached twice and nothing changed. Who's going to "go after him"? What court is going to prosecute him? How would they prosecute him when SCOTUS has already given him immunity? It's too late for the legal process to do anything.
  23. I find it strange a number of people here say Trump is not listening to the courts and is in number violation of the law. So if he not listening to the courts why don’t they go after him and press charges? What is he doing that he is in number of violation of the law and not listening to the courts.
  24. To second and third generation Immigrants?
  25. If they have drug charges or theft charges yes, but people with firearm, violence, assault, fights, stabbing not so much. I may be afraid to go to such business if they have firearm, violence, assault, fights, stabbing record.
