Put down the goat.

Yes Karren. Of course Karren.

But you have nothing to say about Gaiusmarius comment that came from a Drs mouth... I'll say it again it's obvious a comic book is way way beyond you're education level.

Have a nice day Karren

so today i went for my 6 month check up for the lung infection and hearing loss i suffered at the beginning of this year. the doctor there really surprised me by being quite vehement that this whole covid thing is being exaggerated.

when i talked about some long term problems that are now being talked about, he said getting sick will do that sometimes, even a flue can cause long term damage. he literally said that wearing masks all the time is not good, moisture causes fungi in the cloth which you then breath through instead of getting fresh clean air.

i told him that if he said those things on facebook he'd be deleted and this 50 year old ear, throat and nose specialists just shook his head saying i know.

i love the Swiss, we are so logical and down to earth.

to be honest i was quite surprised. even the lady that did my hearing tests said i could take off my mask if i wanted, although they have signs saying everyone must wear masks, lol.

its so strange, you get people so afraid and you have the opposite and no one really knows who's right. probably the truth is somewhere in the middle. ie its dangerous if you are old and or sick.


i told him that if he said those things on facebook he'd be deleted and this 50 year ear, throat and nose specialists just shook his head gravely, saying i know.

I wash my chonies. Not sure what they do in Sweden.

We breathe mold spores in every day .you would have to live in a bubble to escape it. Humans inhale somewhere between 1,000 and 10 billion mold spores on an average day

thats interesting, didnt know that. i suppose not all fungi or mold is the same, some are dangerous as far as i remember reading when it comes to mold on weed.

When I go to the pulmonary clinic, the people who work there reach for their masks as if I glowed.
Have MAC and Valley Fever which I am told are what led to the lung cancer.
It seems that they have a synergistic effect upon each other.
The combined effect makes breathing very difficult. A mask makes it seem like I am reaching for air that is not really even there. I have to move very slowly, and stay focused not to panic. Having an oxygen generator was like having fresh lungs again.
Once the lung damage kicks in, heat makes it rough to breath, fires make it more difficult to breath.
everything makes it feel more difficult to breath.
I do not speak when I am wearing a mask, the air just does not feel like it is there.
Take care of your lungs, when they go on you, it does not matter how fit you are,
when your body no longer gets the O2 it needs, it will take you were the nightmares
live in your brain.

little.

luckily i can get air ok while wearing the mask, i just run with sweat underneath it. i got a mate at work though who is quite over weight, he breathes audibly all the time, wearing a mask is torture for him. i think he will have to get an exemption.

You may want to consider suggesting an O2 concentrator to the person at work.
It made a massive difference for me.

When my ex wife was diagnosed with RA, the doctor told her to quit eating tomatoes. We found a specialist and found another doctor.
And I did respond. If you’re getting fungus in your mask, wash it. Probably brush your teeth while you’re at it.

Tomatoes are night shade vegetables responsible for inflammation, joint pain along with potatoes, legumes (ALL of them), eggplant, peppers.

Eggplants, peppers, tomatoes and potatoes are all members of the nightshade family. These vegetables contain the chemical solanine, which aggravates arthritis pain and inflammation, those with Rheumatoid Arthritis/Lupus, other autoimmune conditions.

Back to masks...ever hear of washing them? Interestingly, my Dr. says to wear them (and it's a STATE MANDATE) when outside, in stores, etc. Would rather err on side of caution like my doc vs. doc that says masks don't do much good.

Wow. a thousand time more is a lot.
If you have COPD (or another underlying medical issue. Take your pick) and get Covid, chances are pretty good you're a goner.

I have family members who are in the medical field (Dr. and Nurses) and they say it's simple disinformation. And I'll listen to a medical pro before a conspiracy theory developed in someone's armchair.

Agreed!!! Being in med field 40+ years, understanding pathology, 1000x (YIKES! Who knew Brits were soooooo smart!) more informed??? Believe me I am 1000x times more informed as yourself.

My opinion, too much of some substance.

I have battled Psoriatic Arthritis for many years and can attest that vegetables from the nightshade family increase inflammation in my joints....which sucks 'cause i love to grow and eat all of them....i try to limit my consumption, cause it plays hell with my body .... but garden fresh tomatoes right out the back door and egg plant lasagna are hard to turn down.

There's no actual evidence that any of the nightshades cause inflammation. Although they are a nightshade, legumes are actually noted for their anti inflammatory properties.

Ooo yeah throw out the insults hahaha. Big man Karren hahaha.

I've never worn a mask because I'm not brain washed idiot. Brave of you to assume I'm a sheep. If you thought about any of comments then you would of reached this conclusion. But hay have fun trolling all the political threads. Later Karren. I would like to talk more but I haven't got the time with work and having a life

However...

Nightshade Vegetables
Eggplants, peppers, tomatoes and potatoes are all members of the nightshade family. These vegetables contain the chemical solanine, which some people claim aggravates arthritis pain and inflammation. However, most reports are anecdotal, and while it certainly might be true for some people, there are no scientific studies done to prove that they actually cause inflammation or make symptoms worse, says Kim Larson, a Seattle-based dietitian and Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Spokesperson.

Nightshade vegetables are rich in nutrients, making them a worthy addition to your diet. Simply test it. Eliminate nightshades from your diet for a couple weeks and slowly reintroduce them back into your diet. If you find that adding nightshades trigger arthritis pain, don’t eat them, Larson suggests.
