What are they and why do we care? Probiotics are microorganisms that have beneficial properties for the host (that's us). Probiotics are an important way we can alter intestinal bacterial flora. Most are derived from food sources like cultured milk products. The list of probiotics is long, but some familiar names are: lactobacillus, clostridium ...

One to Two Drinks a Day May Keep the Doctor Away

By Dr. Orrange May 5, 2008 8:30am 12 Comments

DrOrrange

Many of my patients have heard this to be true but find it hard to believe. Can I really drink every night? Does it have to be red wine? What if I'm on medications? Whats the real deal about alcohol?

Is alcohol in moderation really beneficial? Over the years several large studies have repeatedly found a lower risk of stroke and heart disease in ...

CSR

The other night I went to a fascinating lecture at my daughter's school delivered by a psychiatrist named Louann Brizendine. She is the author of a new book entitled The Female Brian, which details the scientific reasons behind the differences between men and women. In her book, she discusses that these differences begin in the womb when our ...

I will not be on here for two weeks my friends. We are going on holiday to Cyprus.
I have got myself worked up into such a state as I always do. I feel as though I am going to go down with something. My mind has not switched off from getting things sorted for this holiday.
I need to relax.
Hope you all keep well and will speak to you on my return. &n...

So I get an E-Mail today from my Doctor and he told me what meds I can still take and which ones to stop taking now till three weeks after the surgery. The surgery isnt for another two weeks and I am worried that without most of my CD meds that I will end up in the hospital with a really bad flare up before I even have the surgery. Gosh I hope he knows what he is doing.

weird day

Friday, May 16, 2008 | A Frustrating story

I slipped today. I wasn't feeling my best today, but not my worst either. I went to the bank after work; and then the grocery store. They didn't have what I was looking for. I think that was when I lost my focused concentration. I looked for something else, and couln't find that. This happened at least two more times. I was also uncomfortable because I'm out in my stupid uniform. ...

I went to an alanon meeting tonight, for some reason there weren't many people there, i like it like that. i actually shared for a few minutes and felt proud of myself because i usually am to nervous to talk. the people in the meetings are so amazing they are so kind and caring, we all have our probllems and i don't feel like they judge me there.

These journal entries   are always  a bit  awkward for me. I think they can be a good thing but  I do feel a bit stuck sometimes as to what I should say and what I should leave out.
Some people here on DS use the journals as a way to tell all of us exactly how their day has gone for them.   Some people use them to o...

A Group Of Four Very Close Friends
There was a dentist, an electrician, a salesperson, and a carpenter that met everyday for breakfast at a low income diner. They were all married except the salesman. When he was married, he went on his honeymoon with his wife. The other three still met for breakfast when he was gone. An idea came up to play some practical jokes on the new married person.
