Vitamin D and Me

By Dr. Orrange May 15, 2008 10:12am 6 Comments

DrOrrange

Vitamin D is readily available through sun exposure and as a supplement yet there are new reasons to believe we are not getting as much Vitamin D as we need. Vitamin D deficiency can be discovered on a blood test done by your physician and is defined as serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels < 20 to 30 ng/mL. Depending on the age group and season we ...

Seven Deadly Sins: GREED
Current mood: chill
Category: Religion and Philosophy
Greed is, like lust and gluttony, a sin of excess. However, greed (as seen by the church) is applied to the acquisition of wealth in particular. St. Thomas Aquinas wrote that greed was "a sin against God, just as all mortal sins, in as much as man condemns things eternal for the sake of ...

DaQueen's Birthday

Friday, May 16, 2008 | A General Update story

Ok this may sound strange. I had a party for Queenie tonight. I got her 1 year ago. I bought her really expensive food, made cupcakes, even had candles. Monica and her family came over. I know it seems silly. She's a cat, no she is family. She is the only family I have now. I miss you guys like crazy. I can see John teasing the cat. And I can see Queenie laying behind mom as she watched ...

Seven Deadly sins: GLUTTONY
Derived from the Latin gluttire, meaning to gulp down or swallow, gluttony is the over-indulgence and over-consumption of anything to the point of waste. In the Christian religions, it is considered a sin because of the excessive desire for food, or its withholding from the needy.[2] Depending on the culture, it can be seen as either a vice or a sign of status.

Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) Information

Deep-vein thrombosis, also known as deep-venous thrombosis or DVT, is the formation of a blood clot ("thrombus") in a deep vein. It commonly affects the leg veins, such as the femoral vein or the popliteal vein or the deep veins of the pelvis. Occasionally the veins of the arm are affected (known as Paget-Schrötter disease). Thrombophlebitis is the more general class of pathologies of this kind.
