Capsule Comments
by Ernie Miatello
From the Capsule Comments "interesting"
department: In Holland, when people visit a
loved one in a nursing home, they are
encouraged to bring a roll of toilet paper with
them. Due to cutbacks in health insurance funding, the choice was
either cut back to two meals per day or cut out toilet paper. The
choice was clear.
Get to the hospital fast if you feel you are having a heart attack.
Chances of survival drop 1.25% for every five minutes it takes to get
help. Even if you aren't sure it's a heart attack, go anyway. It could
save your life.
New diabetes guidelines released last year call for more aggressive
treatment of high blood sugars. Even short-term elevation of blood
sugars can cause irreversible vascular damage in 20-50% of people
wits Type 2 diabetes. Now, everyone over the age of 40 is at risk for
diabetes. Many have it and don't know it.
Glucosamine is a popular non-prescription medication used for
treating arthritis conditions. Average dose is 500 mg 3x daily
although twice this dose can be used for the first few weeks. It may
take 4-8 weeks to notice significant benefit and if no positive effects
are seen after 10 weeks, it's probably not going to work.
