Don't Do This
You shall have no fun.
These days we are warned -- all too often -- of all sorts of dangers and things we should not do. Everywhere, from the media, politicians, friends, relatives, coworkers, and just about everybody else who has a voice, lectures us to dare not do stuff. Their advice includes don't eat this, don't use so much gas, don't breathe now, don't go there, and on and on.
Life as we now experience it may be too dangerous to live !
Most self-empowered advisors are not qualified on the subjects they so loudly shout. Most of them are meddling. Most of them should not be listened to.

Most of the Don't Do This free advice is wrong, inaccurate, and not worth even considering.
The main reason there is so much free advice being thrown at us is that there are many self-empowered jerks who have no lives themselves and want to make sure that no one else enjoys his life either.
Some advice -- almost by chance -- is worthy of attention. This site asks questions to make you think. Perhaps it will empower you to resist the excess Don't Do This advice that is around everywhere.
You are always anonymous at our survey sites.
The list to the right identifies some things we are often warned about. The lecturers lecture us, "Don't Do This".

Please select each Don't Do This item that you do not do.

Of course, it is OK to drive through red lights and stop signs, drive over the speed limit, tailgate the car ahead of you because you are in a hurry, be rude to your neighbors, talk loudly on your cell phone in public places, be arrogant, look sloppy and messy, push your way through lines when shopping, lie, cheat and take as much of anything you want if you can get away with it, and be disrespectful of your coworkers.

Don't drive a car that uses too much gas.
Don't you dare allow yourself to gain weight!
Don't forget to exercise everyday.
Don't eat cheeseburgers.

 Prescription Drugs:  Unintended Modifications... & Destruction.
Labels -- often complex -- are shortened into acronyms for easy passive acceptance by parents and teachers. Doctors use these acronyms to gain parental approval. Then they prescribe those acronym drugs for unsuspecting and unarmed children. Parents then clandestinely disguise those acronym drugs in their children's food. These legal drugs are proving to be lethal.
After years of use, some widely prescribed anti-depressant and behavior modification drugs are observed to cause unexpected consequences. For example, expectant mothers who took anti-depressants such as Prozac late in their pregnancy are observed as being significantly more likely to produce an infant with a rare but serious breathing problem. Separately, between 2001 and 2005, approximately 54 people being treated with behavior modification drugs have suffered serious cardiovascular problems.
These drugs are an economic boom for doctors' businesses and drug company profits. Teachers have their disciplinary work loads lightened. Parents can go about their busy, busy schedules uninterrupted by those annoying responsibility-filled, trophy children. It is no wonder that anti-depressant and behavior modification drugs are so popular.
The obvious immediate effect of these drugs is to modify moods and temperaments of users. These changes occur when the drugs are ingested and absorbed into the blood. The blood carries the drugs -- complex chemicals -- to the users' brain. In the brain, the drug modifies some, and invokes other, chemical reactions. The result is change in overt activity and internal emotions and sentiments.
Without dispute use of these drugs results in these changes. If not, they would not be used. But some people are now recognizing and asking the directly-related question:  "If those changes are present, is it possible that other changes result from usage of these drugs?" The answer cannot be an unequivocal "no", since the negative cannot be logically proven. In fact, the possibility of unexpected changes, both near-term and life-long, cannot be ruled out. Drugs that cause one change may cause other changes immediately, as well as over time. The examples identifying infant lung problems and childhood cardiac problems prove this in the positive case.
Case studies abound -- and many families have stories -- of an adult who, as a child, exhibited unacceptable classroom behavior. However, instead of being given drugs, the child was given caring, personal instruction by parents and teachers on how to behave and what not to do. Many of these children have grown up to become exceptionally productive adults. Many of these children develop into exceptionally smart adults seen as having always been alert, aware, and busy trying to absorb and understand their surroundings.
Parents, teachers, doctors and drug companies cannot rule out a possibility. Had these wild, uncontrollable, misbehaving children been given drugs, their brains might have been physiologically modified. Their brains may not have developed naturally into the minds that properly control today's productive adults. Given drugs, the physiology of those brains could have been modified along with their behavior. Applying that premise, yesterday's modification might be responsible for today's over-active 20 to 40 year-old population.
Using complex drugs to modify overt social behavior and emotions involves tampering with physiological processes that are not understood and some that are not known. Many of the physiological and chemical interactions and processes that occur in a child's brain are complex. That brain uses those processes to develop into the brain that controls adult behavior and determines skills and capabilities.
To meddle with these processes for immediate gratification of parents or teachers is to be short-sighted regarding the child's well-being and unconcerned for the future of our adult population. If subdued by drugs, when do those children ever learn how to behave? If not as children, certainly not as adults.

 Aluminum & Alzheimer's Disease

Identifying & Preventing Alzheimer's Disease

Alois Alzheimer (1864-1915) was a German neurologist.
Point
Where was Alzheimer's disease decades ago? Was it afraid to join us? Was it held off by something we were not aware of? Why did it only recently gain popular status?

If Alzheimer's disease was occurring in only a very few elderly decades ago, then we must acknowledge that, "Since life expectancies were shorter, our grand-parents didn't live long enough to demonstrate the effects of this creeping disease".

But even though life expectancies have increased over recent decades, several decades ago a large percentage of Western civilization populations did live well into the Alzheimer years. Large numbers of people lived long enough to at least begin to display the preliminary signs of Alzheimer's disease.

So let us ask if perhaps yesterday's doctors over-looked the early symptoms. Well, did they? And if they did, how did the many relatives of those long-lived, developing-Alzheimer's parent and grand-parent-victims not notice the onset of this insidious disease?

After answering these points, we may conclude --- logically --- that six decades ago, Alzheimer's disease did exist, but in a smaller percentage of the population than it does today.
So What Might Be The Possible Causes?
 About Aluminum, AL, as used in cookware:  Aluminum, is a metallic element which has loose electrons. That is why it is a good conductor of electricity. Aluminum oxide has those loose electrons tied-up and is not a good conductor. Electrons that are not loose are not available to flow.

On with an example:  We know that cooking with iron frying pans is (or was thought to be) "good for you" because iron is leached into the food while it cooks at relatively high temperatures. That theory was that ingested iron will 'build up' your blood. Today it is known that excess iron can cause leukemia and other blood disorders.

Now on to aluminum:  Could it be that the aluminum alloy used in cookware leaches (like iron) into food. Might ingested AL be carried by the blood and lodge physically or chemically in neuron cavities in some areas of the brain, thus disrupting electrical impulse flow? Those electrical impulses are thought processes.

Aluminum hydroxide:  This simple inorganic chemical (with easily broken bonds) is applied when we use antiperspirants. It is relevant to this discussion that this chemical component of antiperspirants is applied to the under-arm, an area rich in blood flow, compacted and warmed to a temperature at which some ionic bonds of some molecules could be broken. That would leave the AL to be swept into the blood, flow to the brain, and come to a comfortable rest between neurons and thus to interfere with electrical impulses --- thought processes.  Many people avoid using antiperspirants --- and use deodorants exclusively.
Fluorine -- No, this is not the old wife's tale about fluoridation in our drinking water
 Fluorine is also an ionic element --- it is not an inert element --- and it has loose valence electrons. A similar logic applies to the fluoridation of drinking water as with the AL compound in antiperspirants and AL alloy in cookware.
The Point
 The point is that these theories need to be correlated to today's increased occurrence of Alzheimer's disease. To accomplish this, researchers chart the use of AL in antiperspirants and cookware and the initial occurrences of fluorine compounds in city drinking water supplies across the USA. Thoughtful scientists need to overlay these curves looking for correlations. Then they calculate the ages of today's Alzheimer's patients with the initiation, ongoing use, and end of use periods of AL and FL.  NOTE:  When did you last see all those displays of aluminum pots and pans for sale in cooking stores? Why are they gone?
No, Not Everyone, But
 No, Not Everyone Is Susceptible to all phenomena, including aluminum and fluorine compounds, any more than everyone is susceptible to the flu and then dies.  But some people do actually die from the same flu bug that others get over in a matter of days. And other people are not phased by that same flu.  Note: Colgate is ending the marketing of most of its toothpastes that contain aluminum compounds. Why?


 
Does this theory sound plausible?
Yes, this sounds plausible.
I never thought about it.
No, this is definitely not plausible.
