First, the myth: cold air doesn't "give" you a virus.
You need exposure to a virus. Period.
But here's where it gets interesting the rain isn't irrelevant. It's just not the cause. It's the setup.
anyone know who clay felker is?
what sayest thou of this chair bill and co? i found a pair on the street and despite having no discernible use for them i decide to adopt them temporarily. want my friend with the house upstate to take them but he is a dipshit as i have previously mentioned. cant find a brand but found a similar type which i wont link to now because because because because..... slightly dampened by the rain but seem structurally sound, moss notwithstanding.
my neighbor wouldnt fly for years because of "cosmic radiation." she might have been overdoing it a little based on her minimal travel but pilots and attendants....
From my weekly AARP newsletter.
In the study, six specific botanicals were singled out because data from the Drug-Induced Liver Injury Network identified them as the ones that are most likely to be associated with liver toxicity. These six supplements include:
- Ashwagandha
- Black cohosh
- Gardinia cambogia
- Green tea extract
- Red yeast rice
- Turmeric/curcumin
Researchers found that older individuals were more likely than younger populations to take these botanicals — and it’s not difficult to understand why. Turmeric/curcumin is often promoted to ease joint pain from arthritis, which affects roughly half of adults 65 and older, and black cohosh is marketed for menopause symptoms. Red yeast rice is taken to lower cholesterol levels and improve heart health, two leading health concerns among older adults.
While the six supplements above may be the ones most often implicated in liver injury, according to this study, far more fit in this category. About 1,000 medications and herbals are associated with liver damage, research suggests.
Angel Planells, a registered dietitian nutritionist from Seattle and a spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, says other supplements linked to liver harm include:
- Kava
- Kratom
- Skullcap
- Chaparral​
