    We Quit Cigarettes

    Absolutely go to a doctor as soon as you can, and definitely do not drive yourself. And please, tell the doctor everything you can -- what you were taking, how much, how long, and how long you've been having these sleep issues. Every bit of information you can remember will help them figure out...

    Brooding already, are they, or are these hens just particularly partial to violence as a communication technique?

    Morphine doesn't work on some people, be it due to an acquired tolerance from long-term use or simply because their body doesn't utilize it the way most people do. Whatever drug is used, though, all drugs considered high risk for abuse or addiction (i.e., morphine, fentanyl, etc.) should be kept...

    Guinea reluctant to walk and not eating

I have no doubts that keto diets have helped numerous people; they...

    Please check with your doctor first; ketones are basically one of the body's last resorts for energy, and they can cause a plethora of problems if things go wrong with them.

    2024 New Year's Resolution?

    Yep, fat and protein are digested more slowly, so they slow down the absorption of accompanying carbohydrates. This is great for controlling blood sugar spikes, but it also means that if you're treating low blood sugar, then you want something like fruit juice, soda, or candy (I keep boxes of...

    2024 New Year's Resolution?

    I've never been good at keeping track of my resolutions. I did drop about ten pounds over the last few months, but I think that that was due to increased activity, increased stress, and a long bout of illness earlier in December.
