    Btw over time, Al in moms milk decreases less than the first feeding with every subsequent feed. Also imagine moms milk plus other sources of aluminum (vaccines, environment) will have a multiplicative effect.
    And regarding RBC, that’s exactly why drinking blood won’t help so you are just strengthening what was iterated, thank G-d I won’t have to do a study on that 🙂
    And I don’t believe I presented myself falsely-all because I’ve done research and am interested in medical bits does not make me a doctor-which I don’t believe I presented myself as one. The same way everyone here is presenting their knowledge, irrelevant of working in the health field/being a medical professional or not.

    Ubiquitin:
    My point was not about a specific vaccines aluminum content, rather the overall idea that vaccines obviously contain different elements that are not healthful to the body. Even though these amounts may be small, they have multiplicative effects with what ever other garbage is in our environment. Also, have you checked the vaccine schedule lately? I happen to be fully vaccinated but while the Al content may be relatively small in 1 vaccine, if you are getting 90-100 vaccines (which are usually done in large groups), even excluding the live attenuated ones, many have aluminum or other harmful components.
    BTW, It seems like people on this thread have a tendency to misconstrue. I said that I am in the healthcare field, not someone who practices medicine.
    Also, all because you do not love what I am saying, does not make what I am saying less true.
    Although mother’s milk does have a bit of aluminum and it has been shown to have significantly LESS aluminum than certain vaccines. I can provide links to scholarly journals if you would like! There are many studies regarding that, that are not pro or anti vaccine, they are neutral studies just reporting occurrences. Additionally, due to moms nutrients being passed to the baby, moms who ingest more aluminum with have more aluminum in their milk. Same logic for why many meds cannot be used during pregnancy/nursing, due to passing it on to infant-which I am SURE you understand as a healthcare professional.
    And regarding blood transfusions-due to longer time of absorption, it would be unwise for someone to drink blood. It is quite a circuitous route from the mouth to the bloodstream. Unless you want the person to pass out, infusion is the better way to go. Veggie infusion wouldn’t help as some components are more naturally and abundantly found in blood; the veggies nutrients then have to be “digested”. This is all basic physiology, so please check your facts.
    My intention is not to be argumentative, while some is opinion, what is written above are physiological facts-nothing we have control over-that’s how G-d designed the body.

    2 cents:
    All because someone does not share your views, it does not make them less or more knowledgeable. But thanks for giving in your 2 cents.

    Just throwing out there some logic behind it. Some find it offending, some dont. I’m still a bit unsure what I think of it myself.

    I will tell you that 1 year ago, there was a large study conducted in NYU Oncology linking high presences of aluminum to certain diseases (not sure if the full study is available for viewing yet) Presented by one of the high honchos there. I know someone present during the study presentation who told me that he strongly encouraged that if using aluminum foil or pans, they should be lined with 1-2 layers of parchment paper due to free aluminum molecules absorbing into hot food. To reiterate, this was presented by a MEDICALLY TRAINED DR IN NYU…and there is an actual study to back it up!

    Each of these points are facts. They are well researched and availabe online and scholarly journals. You just arent used to seeing them presented in this way.

    Very interesting thought. Over the years I have met people (even before I was 10 years old), maybe even only once. But I often wonder where they might be holding now. I feel like every person you meet makes a small/large impact on you (for hood or bad) and once in a while something resurfaces and you wonder about them.

    I feel like classical music in its original form will probably not come back into style. It seems like one of those things that was once in style but is then always present in the background forever, never really becoming the star of the show again. But it can.

    Interesting point about the goldrushers. Years ago, those who didnt have the zitzfleish for school played hooky or got a job at a super young age. But I do think the itchy pants syndrome is more prevalent today. As a child/student I had patience to sit still and quiet. However now as a young adult I find myself unable to sit still etc…

    In the healthcare field, there is a concept of “person first” language. Basically, you dont want to identify the person by a visible characteristic, rather by who they are as a person. So, ininstead of saying that someone is autistic, you would say “a person with autism”, as that should not be their defining trait. I’m assuming the same logic is used in “person of color”!

    With pasta, the water tends to draw out the starch (cooked pasta water is usually a bit gloopy). So if you recook, starch leaves. Also, quinoa or brown rice pasta are better options with lower glycemic indices.

    Doomsday:
    You are absolutely right. I myself am a healthcare professional and have been involved in multiple research studies. That is NOT how a study should be done, as the results will not yield good accuracy.
    Out of all the people that I know who got the vaccine, most of them WERE vaccinated. Thus, if someone has an unvaccinated individual in their class, they technically should NOT be worried, as they had the vaccine 🙂
    While actual cause and effect between vaccines and specific illnesses have not been confirmed yet with studies, foreign chemicals entering your body cannot be to good for you. How about taking a roll of heavy duty aluminum foil, cutting it up and eating it? I am pretty sure the average person woupd not do this. These heavy metals are probably not the best for you.
    By the way, I am fully vaccinated, but if I would be due for another in the future, I probably would not get it!

    While maybe taking you to a venue right near your home was perhaps not the smartest decision, there is nothing inherently wrong with going to a restaurant-in fact you should be flattered! Many guys will not want to take a first date to a restaurant due to expense and if the shidduch wouldnt go anywhere. So the fact he took you to a restaurant means he was pleased with the preliminary research he did, and thought the date would have promise!

    in reply to: learning from an artscroll #1766002
    PracticalPost

    While I understand that learning has maybe deteriorated due to the ease in which it was delivered, Artscroll is good for those who would otherwise not learn due to a learning/language issue etc. Think about pre-war times. Likely the water carrier in your little town was labeled as an unlearned person aka the person who did not have the understanding to learn. Perhaps if there was Artscroll or some oother simpler broken down version/book, those water carriers would have spent their days learning. So if someone would not be learning otherwise, or struggling too much that Torah would then not be “sweet” to them, they should use Artscroll. And they should not think they are less honourable for doing so.

    While obviously there is no ground rule for how who behaves how, I definitely see how those with the money feel that sense of entitlement. In my office, I have clients from all different walks of life…as well as financial status. The top 4 clients who’s behavior really topped the charts, happened to be 4 with a tremendous financial portfolio. I have overall found they have a sense of entitlement because…”I’ m on the board of (fill in blank for large company, organization)”. Not to mention the huge chillul Hashem that my non-jewish co-workers saw. Give me a “poor” client anyday. While there are also many wealthier etc people who are humble and whatnot, those in a monetarily powerful position often have a sense of entitlement/I want it now type attitude.

    In theory, being carried away on a white horse sounds lovely. In reality, fear sets in, realizing that the decision you make is somehow definite, real life responsibility…is all part of the “cold feet feeling.”

    Whether pictures are appropriate, is a whole ‘nother discussion. However, as a single girl, if a guy requests a picture from me, I should be able to request one back; and not given a whole song and dance. The same way he wants a beauty, I don’t want a beast.
