Thanks for the BBC article -- "If the pH of your blood drops below 7.2 or rises above 7.6, then very soon your brain will no longer be able to function normally and you will be in dire straits."
Your pH Miracle article is talking about the Robert O. Young idea that the blood pH needs to be around "7.365", an oddly precise number. Young has a lot of great points

For Tour de France riders there's nothing like being the leader and wearing the yellow jersey on the last day coasting in sipping champagne and then standing on the podium. This year's winner Alberto Contador is under investigation after failing a blood test --
I remember 2nd place Andy Schleck being a little crabby towards the end of the race but he passed his blood tests.

Maybe part of the problem is with employee training. My market is staffed by people who say and do unprofessional things, so to me the automatic checkout machines are the best and others seem to agree because sometimes there's a line even though there are human cashiers available. It's a big chain market too with no excuse for having rude employees. The other market in town has no such attitud

Beets and chard are in the same family and both have the plant pigment betaine which some are sensitive to. "Thick" chard has made me sick before, as well as beets. Swiss chard that had bolted in the garden and then juiced was the worst. The burning might have been a high oxalic acid content in very mature plants, though that's just a guess. I've gotten that type of burning from ver

Michael Mann used tree rings from the Bristle Cone Pine to help construct his hockey stick graph, this pine tree's growth rate having increased in the last century in the hockey stick pattern. What makes trees grow is water, sunlight and nutrients like co2, warmth, yes, but it's a complex mix of variables. What if the biomass of the earth doubled as a result of a doubling of co2?

Another thing the company could have said is that they would have had to get an occupancy permit to move in and that would have set out how many customers could be expected to use the establishment and so how many bathrooms, whether it be, say one for employees and one unisex for a very small establishment, or two or more for customers and what sex to accomodate and how to label them.

That's so interesting how halloween has recently evolved in the UK. The "trick" aspect has a long history in the US though locally I've noticed less since parents have wised up to the dangers.

102. Re: Unisex bathrooms
I've heard that and of the feet-on-stool method. Another way is to keep the seat down and stand on top of it in the squat position - Easterners comfronted with western style toilets have been known to do that, as well as anatomically correct minded westerners, I've heard discussed on the web. I think it's uncommon for a westerner to be comfortable in the low squat stance (heals on floor), at le

Traveling to other countries can be a bit of a shock, like the squat toilets at Tehran International Airport. I did a double take but really had to go. Where's the TP, or do I have it confused in my memory with Old Delhi? For those not familiar it is entirely recessed into the floor. It was clean though, worked great and most definitely unisex.

"References" is a much better word, thank you, and we do have the same tradition of carving pumpkins at halloween and putting them on the front steps lit with a candle, and so maybe that's all it is. I understand the first book was five years in the making and that JK Rowling is very educated.

I'm always getting into thorns. Once in a while one will get deeply imbedded or forgotten and skin over. Wetting the skin then probing gently with the eye-end of a needle might help to zero in on it, feeling carefully to try to pinpoint the spot where it is painful to the touch as opposed to merely very tender, then picking slowly to pierce the skin layers. There should be fluid around the so

Thanks Tamukha, I'm not sure the ancient Celtics knew of pumpkins, a discovery from the Anericas, but they must have seemed wonderful and magical when they arrived in Europe. Pumpkin weighing is a part of harvest fairs here.

So goes the Grimm's Fairy Tale story if Cinderella doesn't get back by midnight. Her fairy godmother had turned a pumpkin into a coach, mice into horses, a rat into a coachman, and lizards into footmen.
Why pumpkins in such stories? Has anyone read Harry Potter? They are selling pumpkin juice in the UK based on that series. What's up with pumpkins? Why are they popular in magic?

I was just looking at the full text of that article wondering if the study was supportive or critical. It's supportive of bromelain as having anti-inflammatory properties. Some question whether inflammation is good or bad and I suppose it can be either depending on the situation.

..just looking at that co2 graph and noticing the rise and fall of the dinosaurs (65-230 million years ago) corresponds with a rise and fall of atmospheric co2. Maybe the higher atmospheric co2 made the plants grow very well which in turn enabled dinosaurs to grow very large. When the co2 fell off the dinosaurs went away.
