You know some doctors that are having amazing results, but can't manage to prove it in a double blind study?
Well, considering that all of these physicians I'm speakng of, have been the heads of their departments at hospitals, VAs and teaching hospitals which do a lot of research....and that these cases they're working on, ARE part of studies ongoing...sure, I think they're qualified.
Or...do you hear the word 'doctor' and automatically think of someone that is a money grubbing quack/charlatan that will do anything to a patient/sucker for a buck?
You know...most of your doctors out there, went through shit for med school, many came out with debt that would make the people complaining about undergrad college debt puke...and aren't getting rich due to all the complications of medicine these days.....and yet they still do the job they love, to help people out....and because it is interesting and ongoing human science.
Since one of the FDA's roles is to check medical treatments for safety and efficience, this is consistent with its mission.
Not really, the FDA is for Food and DRUGS....but they do not regulate medical procedures (they don't tell a Dr how to do surgery, lance a boil, give stitches...etc).
This is more a procedure than a drug...essentially taking your own stem cells out...isolating them, and then injecting them back into you. Does that strike you as a drug any more than having them take a vein out of your leg to use for your own heart bypass, or maybe sucking fat out of your ass, and injecting it into your lips or wherever else you need more 'fullness'?
Why do we have people running around defending hack doctor's rights to inject them on unsuspecting and uninformed patients?
Because, largely, it is not a bunch of hack doctors doing this....I know some very reputable physicians, that are getting some amazing results from this, and since it is your own cells, not that much a problem with side effects.
And no...they don't just 'do' this to un-informed patients...they discuss it with them, risks/benefits...and have signed consent forms.
The majority of doctors out there are dedicated to helping people...their main job.
They'd have to be...with all the crap they have to put up with local hospitals, govt regulations, constant litigations by people trying to get rich quick...they'd have to love the job and be dedicated to it to stick with it.
You're not likely to be rich being a Dr like in the old days...
I think almost everyone is fine with government regulating dangerous unproven medical treatments with potentially horrific side-effects.
Trouble is...this isn't the case here.
Most of this type of treatment..is your doctor, taking your own stem cells, isolating them, and then, injecting them back into your problem areas in a concentrated form basically.
Using your own body to treat itself....and now, well, the progress being made across the country will be halted largely, and it will now cost more money, etc.
The issue in the courts there is, that Dr's were arguing that they were using your own body to treat itself, which they are...much like a skin graft..the FDA isn't involved there. The FDA wants its hands in this...and somehow have successfully gotten the courts to say that taking your own cells out...and putting them back in...is a foreign drug being introduced into the body...and in there jurisdiction.
Sad...this one is a battle that should have been won by the doctors, as that it has been showing great progress in many areas....hope this can be appealed and overturned.
Trouble is..this is gonna stop a LOT of use tx going on now with private physicians!!
I know some doctors that have been having wonderful, and in some cases amazing results with this type of treatment. And now, sadly, you will have federal bureaucrats and miles of red tape standing in the way.
I mean, it shouldn't be that bad...they are only taking YOUR own adult stem cells, and generally, injecting them into your problem areas, and allowing your own body to heal itself.....
Now? Well, the feds will bog this down, and of course, you'll somehow involve big pharma (which does have its place)....and take what is proving to be an effective, low cost tx for many diseases....and make it more costly, and harder to perform.
As far as the guitar concept you might be right, however I thought you could use some kind of clamp to change keys easily?
That's called a capo.
It is used on songs, like the Stone's Midnight Rambler...which is normal tuning, but with capo on the 9th fret I think.
You can also used alternate tunings..Keith Richards is famous for using open G tuning....and geez, Jimmy Page used all kinds of weird tunings. You can't play the Rain Song properly trying to use a standard tuning....that one is a really weird, obscure one.
Even now, I know people who have been denied jobs, apartments and loans because they do not have a Facebook account...
Seriously?
Where? What kind of jobs?
Loans? Geez, I've applied for loans and mortgages, when thinking of buying this house I liked very recently. They never asked about any online presence...was purely fiscal information, and I was instantly approved for a fairly substantial house loan...low interest rate, etc.
I still think a credit score means more than having a FB account for loans....
Can you give some examples of jobs, apartments, etc that people have been refused access to,due to no FB account?
Sheesh, at this point...I'd have long ago sold out, and been relaxing enjoying my wealth, and never worry about working again a day in my life.
Then again, I'd not have gotten married right after going public either...geez....maybe that's why he sticks with it....now that he automatically loses half his shit if he decides to trade up to a different female model....
I think in this country home invasion isn't even defined as a separate crime because it has happened only a few times since WW2.
I take it you don't live in the US?
I hear about home invasions fairly regularly on the national news....and not uncommon on the local news....
If someone breaks into my house, I'll have to assume them mean myself, family and possessions harm...and I have no compunction against unloading a magazine into them, and I'll not even bother to see if they're still twitching...till I've likely shot a couple more from the 2nd magazine....
And not sure why you'd put your handguns in a 'safe' to begin with.
I mean, someone breaks into your house, what are you going to do, ask them to please wait while you turn on the lights....run to the safe (assuming it isn't next to your bed)...fumble through the combination...get the gun out, and if you're the cautious type...have to fucking load the thing???
Not me...I keep my handguns loaded with one in the chamber, in various parts of the house, so I can almost always be near one.....
Hopefully you now understand that the US has gotten it's lifestyle by abusing resources in an unsustainable manner and usually by misappropriating them from other countries. Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should.
Err...no?
That thought would never occur to me from this discussion.
My thoughts at the time were that I was surprised that parts of EU back then were still a bit behind the times.
Private bathrooms taking up too many resources? Wow....where did that come from?
BTW, no number of delusional John Wayne wannabes could have stopped that gunman. He was wearing full body armor and riot gear, including armored protection for his head, throat and groin.
Err...there are rounds that are quite capable of piercing body armor.....
I like having a gun to protect my house and posessions. The police are NOT here to prevent crime, but to try to gather evidence and solve them.
Therefore, it is up to me to defend myself in case of an intruder. I have no compunction about dropping anyone that breaks into my house with a ful clip, and I won't even bother to check if they are still alive and breathing till I've loaded my 2nd clip....and they don't appear to be moving any more.
Anyone that breaks into my house, I have to assume means me, my family bodily harm....and I'll happily unload into them. I'll then call the cops to do their job, and solve the crime that the guy broke into my house, and I acted in self defense.
I'm torn as to believing you are so shockingly naive and uncultured or are some new form of troll. Either way, it spells bad news for Slashdot and US'ian culture in general.
Not trolling....was my first trip outside the US, to Paris and London, I ran into the bathroom shared by a floor in London, and I'd never heard or seen such a thing before. I was about 16yrs at the time.
That just isn't something your run into in the US.
My thoughts back then about what America meant to me when I got back home was "Air Conditioning, Ice Cubes, and Private Toilet Facilities."
I was shocked that so many places didn't have AC, and were often warm (we went to the Paris Air Show)....and that they were so seemingly stingy on filling a glass with ice for a cold beverage like a coke or something..and, of course...the shared bathroom in the hotel thing.
So if your co-workers made comments you find insulting, you'll be passive and not do anything? Not even tell them to shut up? I mean seriously, if a co-worker sneered at you for making a mistake and claimed "it's what we get for hiring a man to do a woman's job," you won't feel even the slightest desire to confront the mindset?
I'd likely have a quick, witty and equally powerful retort to say back to them.
And..I'm not talking about being outright mean, nasty or actually physically harrassing anyone..I'm talking about off color jokes...good natured ribbing....
For some reason, it seems...women can't seem to comprehend that it isn't something targeted at THEM to hurt them...
Difference between male and female mentality I guess....

Unfortunately, these days...when they try to do that, they get covered up with complaints of profiling or some other ethinc outcry.
At least with a system like this...they can now point to something 'fancy and computerized' that backs up the arguments they've had all along...
Wow....I just could not believe or participate in a religion that told me what I could and could not fucking EAT...?!?!

Ringo certainly was not Keith Moon, that's for sure....
Yes, please do remember that "Rap" and "Music" are mutually exclusive terms.....
That's called a capo.
It is used on songs, like the Stone's Midnight Rambler...which is normal tuning, but with capo on the 9th fret I think.
You can also used alternate tunings..Keith Richards is famous for using open G tuning....and geez, Jimmy Page used all kinds of weird tunings. You can't play the Rain Song properly trying to use a standard tuning....that one is a really weird, obscure one.
John Lee Hooker, and Bo Diddly both did this quite a bit....Bo did some well selling music with one chord.
But it matters what you can do with them.
Hell, AC/DC has made a lot of great music, and a long career with many fans...using only about 3 chords per song.
Seriously?
Where? What kind of jobs?
Loans? Geez, I've applied for loans and mortgages, when thinking of buying this house I liked very recently. They never asked about any online presence...was purely fiscal information, and I was instantly approved for a fairly substantial house loan...low interest rate, etc.

Can you give some examples of jobs, apartments, etc that people have been refused access to,due to no FB account?
Maybe yours or someone else's house....but in my homes.....we made sure everyone was proficient in firearms usage and respect for the weapon.
Hell, when I was growing up...I never> thought about sneaking out of the house.....hahaha.
Sheesh, at this point...I'd have long ago sold out, and been relaxing enjoying my wealth, and never worry about working again a day in my life.
Then again, I'd not have gotten married right after going public either...geez....maybe that's why he sticks with it....now that he automatically loses half his shit if he decides to trade up to a different female model....

I dunno about you...but my phone is password protected...so, they'll have to figure how to unlock it...and THAT...they do need a warrant for.
It isn't just 4 numbers long either....
I mean, someone breaks into your house, what are you going to do, ask them to please wait while you turn on the lights....run to the safe (assuming it isn't next to your bed)...fumble through the combination...get the gun out, and if you're the cautious type...have to fucking load the thing???
