Oh, he (Junior) is especially out to get rid of psych meds and replace them with âwellness farms.â They can serve the dual purpose of removing these subhumans from the gene pool, and society in general, and getting some value out of them., since "they donât pay taxes or anything.â

And we need to get rid of anti-seizure âmedicinesâ too. Bring back the institutions!

Watch out, Voltaren is an NSAID (though a topical one). IANAD and definitely not an endocrinologist or a gastroenterologist so I donât know about the mechanisms that result in NSAIDs causing problems with Crohnâs, but you might want to confirm with your doc. Of course @Docosc is an Actual Doctor and may well have already taken this into accountâŚ

I guess itâs a good idea to check OTC meds with the doctors. I donât always.

I know. The risk mentioned is due to the âtopicalâ action of NSAIDs on the gut. Bypassing the gut and applying it topically minimizes that risk. There will be a small systemic level due to absorption, and i am certain some amall fraction will make it to the gut. But that overall fraction will be tiny. Of course, YMMV, and levels of sensitivity vary.

This is interesting! Adequate fruit and veg might mean better sleep. I always sleep like crap Sunday night, and Sunday is also when I tend to skip my morning berry smoothie. I should make an effort to drink it.

Very carefully not tying this to Trump policies, and TBH, that is too new to meaningfully show yet. I have my suspicions, though.
Still, after seventeen months of declines in fatal overdoses that stunned drug policy experts and an unprecedented 27 percent drop in drug deaths in 2024, some addiction researchers described this report as troubling.
What could have changed in this timeframe? Hmm, we wonders, we doesâŚ

Experts often point out that the FDA has not approved a new UV-filter for sunscreen in more than 20 years.
A lot of that has to do with budget cuts over decades.

âThe Leftâ is a funny way of saying âLawyers whose job it is to interpret poorly written, ghoulish laws passed by religious fanatics.â
The comments sum up the rest.

âThe Leftâ scared doctorsâŚ
Obviously the assholes who actually passed these laws had nothing to do with it. It must be âThe Left.â
