In some cases surgery is the only option left but I do try other options first if I can. I have had to have a few things rebuilt and will have more in the future, just waiting on both knees and maybe one hip right now. Guess I fell out of one to many airplanes or something in the past. But on the good side I don't have health problems, just broken parts.
"What if you broke your hip or back or your elbow?" Been there done that on all three and had surgery on all the back with local anesthesia. I will do short term pain killers but never any opiates.
Ohh I get it, Epoch Times bad, BBC news Good. Now I understand. Worth the watch. https://rumble.com/vlyxm1-joe-rogan...-and-feels-great-after-ivermectin-and-mu.html https://rumble.com/vnwc15-joe-rogan-confronts-cnn-doctor-sanjay-gupta-over-ivermectin-lies.html https://rumble.com/vm7def-joe-rogans-covid-experience-and-cnns-ivermectin-meltdown.html
"Dr Tess Lawrie - a medical doctor who specialises in pregnancy and childbirth...[When] asked during an online panel what evidence might persuade her ivermectin didn't work she replied: "Ivermectin works. There's nothing that will persuade me." She told the BBC: "The only issues with the evidence base are the relentless efforts to undermine it." For this alone she should be struck off. You can't be any sort of doctor or scientist and not be prepared to review new data impartially.
One person's experience is not statistically significant. Otherwise you will have to accept that if one (other) person says they were vaccinated and they never caught Covid it must prove the vaccine works.
The idea that the Epoch Times is in any way comparable, or has the worldwide reputation of the BBC, is simply laughable. One is funded by the UK public, the other is funded by anonymous right-wing donors and run by someone with a grudge against the Chinese. Someone's chain is being yanked, and it's not mine.
"Keeping a VA provider off sets any copay's that tricare leaves. I also use chapter 35 for my kids school so I figure I need to stay in the good graces of the system." The VA is Veterans Affairs and they provide medical care for veterans along with some other services. Copay is the cost remaining for medical care after your primary insurance company pays their part, normally percentage based. Tricare is the insurance company that serves military, military retirees and disabled veterans for a reasonable rate. Depending on the level of service connected disability the VA will pay the additional copays reducing the cost of treatment. It is not a great system but if you do our research and keep on top of things it can work.
Broken parts are health problems. Sorry to hear you're suffering from wear and tear, though. Keeping your options open sounds like a sensible approach, too.
First search result on google. I have no idea what the Desert Review is. https://www.thedesertreview.com/new...cle_6a3be6b2-c31f-11eb-836d-2722d2325a08.html Plenty of articles out there from the MSM to discredit Ivermectin.
There you go with your 'misspeaking' again. "Joseph James Rogan is an American podcaster, UFC color commentator, comedian, actor, and former television presenter" That's who you go to for your information on covid and vaccines... what's your Dr's stand up routine like?
Perhaps look at the results of peer-reviewed studies to ascertain their accuracy rather than pulling pages from news sites. That page is six months out of date. A lot of the so called 'trials' have been heavily critisised for clearly identifiable, blatant errors, falsification and in some cases they've been retracted from the journals they were published in.
Rogan just gives his own take on it and brings on experts to give the details. His podcast is really pretty good and he covers many topics.
https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/the-desert-review-bias/ Just a quick search but here's something on Desert Review. If you want to question the validity of the bias-checker then please go right ahead.
Ok, so it's just an opinion piece from someone making a living out of getting people to listen to him. He's going to be interested in audience figures over facts, I'd suggest. Next.
Not really your fault. It was quietly snoozing at the back for ten months but one individual in particular couldn't let it lie, and has posted pretty much nowhere else on this forum for the age of a crow. Not that he's promoting an agenda or anything.....
