Sena Gives Up on Apple Cider Vinegar and How It Connects to Miracle Whip
Well, as of this morning, Sena gave up on apple cider vinegar (ACV). After a couple of months of daily doses of The Mother, she’s calling it quits. The main reason is that it tastes awful. I think I lasted a couple of weeks before I quit. There’s no solid scientific evidence that it makes…

Mall Walking Reblog!
On this date last year, I wrote about mall walking. The one problem is that if I walked out to the mall to do mall walking—it would feel redundant. It might even make me too tired to walk back home. I’ve gotten a bad case of shin splints doing that in the past. Driving out…

New Top Ten YouTubes Reblog!
Reblog Time! It’s been a while since I published my Top Ten blog posts in 2019, so here’s the new list. I’ve relisted the top ten from the most views to less views with highest being number 1. Pseudobulbar Affect Top Ten is still the most popular and I think I got the wrong number…

Dental Health Awareness Update
I saw my regular dentist yesterday and the update is that what’s left of my tooth has to be pulled after I ripped off the crown with my superhuman strength. I was scheduled to see her at four in the afternoon. Funny, I thought the best time to see a dentist was at tooth-hurty. There’s…

Dental High Jinks!
I’m having a dental breakdown. Over the weekend, one of my crowns popped out while I was flossing. What do you think about that? Trying to do something healthy for my teeth and I had to see a dentist about the hazards of flossing. Flossing doesn’t usually hurt your teeth, but this reminds me of…

Rounding at Iowa Podcast on Ultra Processed Foods & Other Tomfoolery
There’s a recent Rounding@Iowa podcast on Ultra Processed Foods that’s interested. Right off the bat, it fits in with June being National Dairy Month. It’s interesting that the less processed foods tend to be at the outer perimeter of the grocery store where they can be kept cooler and the more processed foods tend to…

Psilocybin in the News
Sena alerted me to an interesting news item about psilocybin which a case report describes the agent improving a Japanese American woman’s dementia. It was a whopping dose of 5 grams, which I guess is much larger than usual. She also received a second 3-gram dose: Lago M, Cerveira M and Simonet JX (2026) Transient…

Time for July Psychiatry Consults Reblog Reflections; Ouch!
Here’s a reblog post from June 6, 2019. As I reflect on it, I remember with chagrin the time when I tried to fix the challenge of difficult to decipher psychiatry consult questions. What it taught me belatedly is that you just can’t fix everything. I think my frustration was obvious to the trainees and…

Further Thoughts About Guns Reblog
WordPress is tracking my blogs (it’s not paranoia!) and I can’t tell you how helpful it is to see what I wrote years ago and how I and the world has changed since then. What I notice about this post from June 2, 2022 is that the web link to Gun Policy dot org doesn’t…

Baptism for a Lightweight
This post is a blast from the past. Before I published the handbook for consultation-liaison psychiatry over 15 years ago, I suggested a blog post for the Cambridge University Press author web site. I can’t remember if they bought the idea-probably not. But I was pretty proud of our little book, since it weighed zero…
