Being thankful...more than words

It is amazing how thankless people are after their needs go filled.  I am one of them.  I'm not sure if it's just a selfish thing, or it's the way our culture has shaped us.  It has been interesting to me that when I take care of people in the church.  There are many thankless and thankful.

Tonight I had a very thankful member of the church bring by a rotisserie chicken and Sprecher root beer with a piece of chocolate cake.

My desire to help people again is once again renewed.

Good movies

Why do lds people suggest "great family movies" as those with at least 10 strong swear words? Yeah, "We bought a zoo" was a great movie, but wow! Language people! Why oh why!?

Trek beginnings

I am a Otolaryngologist with a fellowship in Head and Neck surgery (cancer surgery). I am doing a trek across America after graduation starting July 2nd. We are starting in Washington D.C. and will end up in Grants Pass Oregon. We will be following the Luis and Clark trail across the top of the United States. All who would like to participate are welcome. Since so far it is a trek with my brother in law and myself, more detail will be pounded out in the next upcoming months before the ride.

I am creating a web page. I will be placing a day by day synopsis of the ride with a link for people to donate to the Oral cancer cause. I will contact Fox news to draw attention to the cause as well.

Please feel free to contact me at huffari@yahoo.com

Drugs...legalize or not to legalize that is the question.

So, Maybe we should legalize all drugs. How our nation would plummet into non-productivity ... faster than the hell bent comet we are straddling already.

• Today, more than 6 million Americans are abusing prescription drugs—that is more than the number of Americans abusing cocaine, heroin, hallucinogens, and inhalants, combined.
• Researchers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that opioid prescription painkillers now cause more drug overdose deaths than cocaine and heroin combined.
• Today more new drug users have begun abusing pain relievers (2.4 million) than marijuana (2.1 million) or cocaine (1.0 million).

Herbal cure for Migraines

A topic much discussed with not so much patients, but yet with friends and neighbors. The cause is much still very mysterious, ranging from dilation or constriction of blood vessels, to inflammatory mediators on the dura. There are some that believe there is even a direct correlation to tension headaches, cured every three months by relieving shots of Botulinum toxin to the occipital muscles.

Whatever may be the cause, the cure can be quite ranging as well. Quite and dark rooms, sleep, Imitrex, Excedrin, antidepressants, the aforementioned Botox etc. Well, there is one more added to the mix. It's an herbal called Feverfew

As I was perusing the news headlines, I ran across an excerpt from the Dr. Oz show. His researchers had found an herbal medicine which when taken upon the arrival of the migraine, has been proven or strongly suggested to reduce and if not eliminate the migraine altogether.

Now having erred on other topics such as Visiline for oral cancer screening, I'm just a bit skeptical. However the price is right. Where one pill of Imitrex has the same cost of one bottle of this Feverfew, it might just be worth a self clinical trial for those plagued with this atrocious problem.
