Guest guest Posted March 8, 2000 Report Share Posted March 8, 2000 Hi Helen, This is CB (Carole) ...DMARD means- disease modifying antirheumatic drugs (ie. methotrexate, azulfidine, etc.) and NSAIDS means- non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (celebrex, vioxx, advil, etc.) MSM is - Methylsulfonylmethane which is not a medicine, a drug or food additive. It comes from the ocean and is water soluble . It helps the cells from becoming rigid and lets toxins, etc. pass thru easily. Found in Health Food stores, pharmacies...probably in vitamin isle. Hope this info helped you.

And still waiting > for an answer to what > is MSM? > > Helen > Woodland Hi Helen, NSAID=Non-Steroidal Anti-Infammatory Drug Covers a large group of drugs, the most common being aspirin, that for whatever reason decrease inflammation and pain. DMARD=Disease Modifying Anti-Rheumatiod Drug These drugs, for whatever reason, effect the course of these diseases. Most common is MTX, more recent include Enbrel, Remicade. I'm on both, NSAID(Indocin) and DMARD(MTX), Basically NSAIDs are prescribed to people with more minor pain or if their pain comes and goes. If a person has chronic pain and especially joint deformity(lucky me) they get the DMARD. MTX lists lots of POTENTIAL side effects but so far I've tolerated it well(2 years). I emphasize potential since many people seem to read up on these and are afraid to try what for most people is a quality of life saving drug. One other quick point regarding MTX, many of the side effects listed relate to the mega-doses cancer patients use when undergoing chemotherapy, not the comparitively low doses used to control PA. Stay well p.s. Don't know about MSM enough to comment, It's a dietary supplement without any hard medical research behind it. ===== C McCullough thelockhorns@... __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 4, 2003 Report Share Posted January 4, 2003 Now I have heard it all. Bosom firming dancing? When they have their hopes dashed, they will turn to implants, watchawannabet? Patty http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_735275.html Thai women taught to dance their way to bigger breasts A new initiative is being launched in Thailand to help Thai women boost their breast size. The scheme claims to offer help to those who feel inadequate because of a bombardment of media images of big-breasted western women. A specially trained troupe of bosom dancers will show women how to improve their bust without resorting to cosmetic surgery. Dr Pennapha Subcharoen said: "Many women are not aware that wearing an appropriate size of bra and regularly taking bosom firming dance can make their wish come true. "So we are training 12 pairs of instructors to teach women how to take care of their breasts and we plan to launch them on Valentine's Day nationwide." Each dance team would consist of a small chested and a large chested instructor to provide bosom firming dance lessons at state-run sports centres starting on February 14. Dr Subcaroen added that many imported bras were not suitable for local women and could lead to misshapen breasts.

In this case I would recommend a good Jewish psychiatrist. Dr. Bowen seems to fit part of a pattern that I see -- mental illness among defrocked physicians. For so many their self-esteem, their financial security, their very identity is completely attached to their license to practice medicine, that when they lose it, they act out by spuming hatred and paranoia. Every list has to deal with an obsessive crazy from time to time. List owners should quarantine them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 3, 2003 Report Share Posted May 3, 2003 Hi , Since I have only been with the group for several months, and since you so modestly did not introduce yourself or your credentials, I wasn't sure, when I first read your posts, whether you are the famous cancer researcher who works (ed??) with Dr.Filiberto Muñoz in the San Diego Clinic. But I gather from several posts to you that it is indeed you. Let me congratulate you for the great work you'r doing and wholeheartedly thank you for your contribution to this group, and from what I witnessed to other groups as well. I generally try to speak only for myself, but I think I will be correct this time to say that I speak on behalf of the entire group.
