rjj04?Thanks so much! I learned alot from the videos! I will order Flaxseed! Nothing gained.... nothing lost! I'm glad you found them informative. Flax seed can be found at Big-C. It is with the raw seeds and nuts... I think the brand name is Heritage. Tops also have them. It is about 60THB for a b...

I don't know if this has any relevance to Prostatitus, but there seems to be a lot that can be done about BPH, and prostate cancer with nutrition. One simple thing that doesn't involve removing anything from one's diet is to add a tablespoon of ground flaxseed to your food each day. I just put it in...

I saw the old posts from 2017. I don't want a motion detector, too damn many cats coming over the wall. I give them a rock gift when I see them. I checked the Home Pro website but didn't see anything about CCTV. I have a feeling that the problems will disappear once CCTV is installed. Pretty sure t...

Questions To Ask: 1) Does the system automatically send email and/or sms upon motion detection? 2) Geckos love the heat generated by these cameras. Especially during the cold season. They WILL be laying on top of them and dropping their tails down in front of the IR LEDS. Your cameras will become al...

16kgs, you'd think that was a lot, but when I look straight down I still can't see my sleeping willy. Stop right there people, I know what you're thinking... I've been told it has perfectly acceptable dimensions, thank you very much :lol: Thanks for the tips on locating those items. Keep going on th...

Now, if I could only kill my infatuation with cheese :( If you need to cut dairy out of your diet but still need a cheese fix Villa Market has a selection of vegan (mock) cheeses. They also have nutritional yeast flakes that can be sprinkled on food to give it a cheesy flavor. If your going on a co...

"Bloody hell. A link (the first one) to Michael Greger. He's one of the high priests of a plant based diet. That's newspeak for a vegan diet. He isn't a charlatan" Actually, it is "whole foods plant based diet".... a vegan can eat potato chips and drink a coke for lunch. Processed food is definitely...

I guess I'll have to be the bearer of bad news here. One of the downsides is that coffee can raise cholesterol levels. Approximately 10-15% LDL rise, if I'm reading the chart accurately enough. The mechanism seems to be a fatty substance in the bean(seed?). It has been termed Cafestol. Another video...

I probably should have named the thread something like "Minor Tweaks to Extend A Healthy Retirement", or some such, as most of the old farts here aren't going to radically change their diets to "possibly" add more years to their retirement... and I guess they'd have a point. But, a minor change like...

Since most of us seem to have a diet "designed by Al-Qaeda", I thought this info on coffee (something I'd guess a majority of us consume) might be of use... https://nutritionfacts.org/video/does-adding-milk-block-the-benefits-of-coffee/ Summary: Coffee (being essentially a bean product) has some hea...

Thanks a lot tutone and parrot!!!

Anybody see this around town? Not available on AliExpress from what I saw either so the pickings are slim.

Also...

Amla (Indian gooseberry)??

Thanks in advance.

Have to go to BKK for her medical check anyway, but thanks a lot for clearing that up!!!
Cheers.

The wife needs to get a police report from RTP BKK. Does the RTP need a special request letter from the foreign government body, because she didn't receive anything other than an email stating she needs to get this police report
and email it back to them.

Thanks!!!

Interesting story in the link below of a woman on a vegan diet for 12 years, who still had high cholesterol numbers... she got tested for this FH, and found she had that. So, then she went whole hog and cut cooking oils out of her diet and dropped her cholesterol numbers way down. It seems, that eve...

https://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/condition/hypercholesterolemia#genes Familial hypercholesterolemia? Apparently 1 in 400 Americans might be affected? 1:200-250? Genetic abnormalities involved. That NIH site says there are genetic tests that can check for FH. " FH likely accounts for 2%-3% of myocardial infar...

for some people the op question is irrelevant ,i have normally always problem cholesterol (hereditary in the family) Once again, I'm not an expert here but, could it be that none of your ancestors were vegetarians ? If one of your ancestors was a vegan, for more than a few years, and yet they still...

Apparently the statins have an effect on the memory as well, and also increase the risk of diabetes 2
Just something to be aware of.

kopkei, did you actually watch the video(s)? I mean, no where in the videos cited does it discuss apple cider vinegar. People can't fix a lifetime of bashing their bodies into bits by forcing down a tablespoon or two of vinegar a day, and nobody is suggesting that - straw-man. You might want to watc...

Firstly, I am obviously not a doctor, and their are people on this website, who I am sure know infinitely more than I do about these things, but I'll say my two bits anyway :) ... kakariki, did you watch the video? I think the question isn't, whether or not a statin can lower your cholesterol, it is...
