changed username to Rich Drushel rich-c: hi Dr. D Rich Drushel: Hello Richard...how is your pneumonia? rich-c: let's say I can still feel the lung damage, and will for a while, but generally OK Rich Drushel: Hope it's on the mend. rich-c: it is not at all comfortable to cough or sneeze, but I don't do much of either rich-c: wanted to ask you about something, for a Wednesday answer Rich Drushel: Everyone is well here...a beautiful warm day. Rich Drushel: Ask away! rich-c: yes, it is nice here too rich-c: OK - there was a full-page ad in the Globe two days ago for a new - something rich-c: it appears to be an OTC "nutrional supplement" (i.e. little-regulated) with ambitions of becoming a medicine rich-c: you can find out about it at www.recoverymedicine.com rich-c: that is a subdomain of www.biostructural.com Rich Drushel: You want me to look it over to see if it's legit or scam? rich-c: it is said to have shown promising results in healing and rebuilding damaged tissue rich-c: this would promise relief from arthritis, osteoporosis, some auto-immune diseases, etc. rich-c: they have a number of glowing testimonials, but that is hearsay and snake-oil pedlar can garner rich-c: may be something similar to this Lakota herbal currently being pushed rich-c: they also at least imply they are going for serious medical field tests and studies rich-c: let's say if it's half as good as they hope, they'll outgrow Microsoft Rich Drushel: I just saved those 2 URLs...I will look them over. rich-c: anyway, you may want to look at their website, theories, and approach and see what you think rich-c: the rule is: if it sounds too good to be true, it is - but hope springs eternal Rich Drushel: Will do. rich-c: I sure could use some miracle juice right now! Rich Drushel: No miracle juice in my fridge, that I know of... rich-c: exactly, but them thar biologists are sure coming out with new insights at a great rate Rich Drushel: Today Joan put in an order for 4 more of those cross-stitch mugs, to make into ADAMcon 14 prizes. Rich Drushel: Elanor has agreed to help sew some of them. Rich Drushel: I have to adapt the logo file that BobS sent me. rich-c: maybe you should try to enlist Pamela to help Rich Drushel: Once I get the pattern made, I can give it to whomever. rich-c: took the truck over to the library earlier (cant walk that far) rich-c: they had "South Pacific" in, which was neat, though I went for Toronto Computes Rich Drushel: haha rich-c: having great enjoyment of late borrowing the old classic musicals Rich Drushel: Glad the library has them in stock. Rich Drushel: I have just been asked to take the girls to a picnic... rich-c: a recent issue of Commentary had an article praising U.S. stage music of the 1920-1959 period Rich Drushel: The day is too fine to stay inside too much today. rich-c: yes, I wish I could go out, but I can't stand up for long rich-c: the sneaky part is, even if it doesn't hurt much at the time, it does hurt for days after Rich Drushel: Hopefully there won't be as much walking needed at ADAMcon this year as there was in Cleveland. Rich Drushel: Just take it as slow as you need to. rich-c: well, the hotel has an elevator, and if needed I'll toss a walker in the truck rich-c: my hope and expectation is I won't even need a cane rich-c: that's assuming that the truck is ready - I want to put a V-8 into it Rich Drushel: V-8, vroom! rich-c: no, I want to pull stumps, not quarter times Rich Drushel: We've decided that the next minivan we get will have engine enough to tow a 2-wheel U-haul rental-type trailer. rich-c: tired of being passed by overloaded 18-wheelers on upgrades when pulling the trailer Rich Drushel: Both our vans have 4 cylinder 2.5 L engines...not beefy enough to carry anything. Rich Drushel: If we ever decided to take a family road trip anywhere now, it would be in both vans: 1 for people, the other for luggage. rich-c: all I can tell you is there's a big difference between factory tow ratings and real-world acceptable ones rich-c: you'll also be in a bind as GM are dropping the last rear wheel drive compact vans rich-c: for trailer towing, rear drive body-on-frame is much preferred Rich Drushel: Like I said, no super-big trailers, just enough to hold suitcases etc. Rich Drushel: Have to see if we can replace our '89 Caravan this fall; depends on employment stuff. rich-c: even so, be very sceptical of tow ratings, though frontal area is more significant than weight mostly rich-c: you would be shocked, though, at what even quite a small utility trailer can weigh Rich Drushel: The girls are mostly ready to go, so I think I will sign off for now...I'll look those websites over and give you an opinion on Wednesday. rich-c: look forward to it, Rich - you and the kids enjoy your day Rich Drushel: You too, say hi to all there.
