The End of Back Pain? Sometimes It's All In The Head - So Is The Treatment

Back pain is difficult to treat but recent discoveries show
that in some cases some of it is literally all in the head
- structural changes in the brain.
And there may be a simple non analgesic treatment.

Does Anyone Still Answer Their Phone?

Today I did my weekly cleanup of phone messages. I change my phone number every two years but the nonsense calls build up to an intolerable level after about 14 months. Today there were 27 saved messages from unanswered calls, some from humans (sort of), a couple from someone speaking Hindustani, and some from computers, all from three companies selling things I would never buy. I live in the country and we know what to do with door-to-door salesmen. Between large hungry dogs and shotguns paired with a backhoe. If I ever answered one of these calls I would still be cursing the caller as my BP went up and up so I never, NEVER answer my phone. There were 7 non sales calls, all from my insurance company, UPMC which is a great insurance plan EXCEPT FOR THE VOLUME OF NONSENSE CALLS they force on me almost daily. No, I do not want to join your conference call about "how to make the most of staying at home" OR the very latest news about COVID or COVID vaccines, only about 4 days beh...

H5N1 Strain Kills 19-year-old in China

For those who have fogotten, Bird Flu (specifically the H5N1 strain) is a major threat to the world's population. The last major pandemic in WWI killed about 100 million and there is really no better treatment today if/when a pandemic strikes. About the only good treatment is supportive - that is, putting patients on breathing assistance, but in a pandemic there will only be a few machines to share out among each 1,000 patients. Bird Flu is most dangerous to the young with strong immune systems. For the latest information on the situation in China and Viet Nam, see http://www.who.int/csr/disease/avian_influenza/en/ China has reported that a young woman recently contracted and died from Bird Flu after buying and cooking some ducks. WHO report: "The Ministry of Health in China has reported a new case of human infection with the H5N1 avian influenza virus. The case is a 19-year old female from Chaoyang District, Beijing. She developed symptoms on 24 Dec 2008, was hospitalize...

Shake, Rattle, and Roll, is Iceland About to Blow Its Top?

 More than 10,000 what their geologists are calling micro-quakes have been keeping Icelanders in the vicinity of Reykjavik awak. Of course everyone knows that Iceland is very geologically active hence all the geothermal power not to mention the vast lava fields, but the country has never in recorded human history seen this level of activity. Geologists in Iceland and elsewhere say it is just a matter of time before there is a major eruption but the quakes seem to be centered on an area near the capital and that is an area of previous slow lava flows more like you see in Hawaii than like Vesuvius. Although these are being described as microquakes, many are in the range of 3.8 to 4.5 and even higher - as high as 5.7, enough to shake vehicles and easily enough to wake people. The southwest of Iceland has been volcanically quiet for 800+ years but the 18,000 recent quakes have people expecting an eruption - not necessarily frightened, but certainly on edge since they can't get a night...
