The trick will be to somehow reactivate your telomeres, which are on the end of your chromosomes. It is theorized that as long as your telomeres are OK your cells will continue to regrow and renew themselves. But when the telomeres stop working, the cells in question don't regrow and healing...

If they are done by a certified specialist, they should be reasonably good.

I believe the "faith" question has already been answered in another thread.

Life is the mother of all disease. If we weren't alive we wouldn't be sick.

With my liver and gall bladder issues, it turns out that spicy doesn't "hit" me - but "fatty" or "oily" will set me off every time.

Yes, and if I ever find patient zero for that particular epidemic, I'll kill the son-of-a-bitch.

I enjoy a multi-cultural diet. Chinese, Vietnamese, Italian, cowboy, Cajun, Mexican, ... you name it and we have probably tried that ethnicity if it could be had in New Orleans. However, one of my greatest surprises when my wife and I played tourist in Washington D.C. was across the river in...

Good luck with that, and good luck to your mum.

In New Orleans, there is a huge public debate about short-term rentals. At the moment there is a partial hiatus on allowing such rentals pending review of some new regulations. Our problem is absentee landlords who do the bare minimum required to bring something up to code and then because...

Takes on 4 issues at once? OBVIOUSLY it won't be on the approved drug coverage list, or it will be schedule D which has the highest co-pay. (Thus speaks the voice of the cynic.)

I've never had blood work done that wasn't through my insurance. Can't say I know much about this.

Yet another factor that makes USA and UK more similar than some people think. Our government-based social services ALSO operate by rules that we don't always comprehend and with which we don't always concur. Good luck with your mum, Jon. And your dad, because this can't be easy on him either.

I understand. I had to go 'round and 'round with my urologist in scheduling my prostate surgery because that was happening in the same year as my gall bladder surgery and a lesser knee procedure. I told him I had to be emotionally prepared because it was too many things going on at once and my...

Regarding current movies, one of them will NOT get my box office dollars. I am seeing advertising for A Star is Born with Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga (Stephani Germanotta). I like both actors, but that movie has been already re-done three times and this will make number four. The others were...

Congrats again, Bee. Good luck on the new endeavor.

Hmmm - "al dente" - Italian for "to the teeth." Well, some of us DO tend to make biting remarks...
