Yes, eating raw fish can cause tapeworm infestation in a person.
It’s fairly easily treatable with medication as far as I know.
Your last post, however, is not a countable vote.
Since I’m for latkes I’ll give you my vote so we’ll compromise and your post counts for 2 votes
“Roundworms called nematodes are the most common parasite found in marine fishes. All are in the family Anisakidae and are anisakid nematodes.
Freshwater fish like trout and fish that spend part of their life in freshwater such as salmon may carry Diphyllobothrium tapeworm larvae. These small, whitish, and somewhat flabby worms are common in salmon from some areas of Alaska.
Nematodes rarely cause health problems because they are uncommon in fish fillets and normal cooking easily destroys them. Even swallowing a live nematode is generally harmless. The nematode passes through the intestine without causing problems.
Swallowing live tapeworm larvae can cause a tapeworm infestation. The tapeworms may live in the human intestinal tract for several years. Doctors successfully treat tapeworm infections with medicines.
Dry-salting fish, or curing them in a saturated salt brine, for 5-7 days before pickling will also kill nematodes and tapeworms.”
This is a not a problem in cooked fish.
what does “ad delo yada” mean according to your rabbeim?
Rabbi Avigdor Miller, tz’l, states that ad dlo yada means ad v’lo clal, in other words up until but not including. I realize this is not the usual understanding, nevertheless this is what he holds. I do not know his source.
He holds in other words this point is not to be reached, and anything less is the maximum and not the shiur.
I did not hear him express a minimum but he states that the purpose of drinking is to stimulate your Simcha WITHOUT losing your seichel.
If you didn’t receive a response, that probably was the response. I would suggest you try it again just to be sure.
This was the strongest language against gifts I was able to find, though most codes of ethics don’t ban them at all:
The AAMFT Code of Ethics mentions the term ‘gift’ in Principle III of Professional Competence and Integrity, section 3.10, in which it states, “Marriage and family therapists do not give to or receive from clients (a) gifts of substantial value or (b) gifts that impair the integrity or efficacy of the therapeutic relationship” (2001, Section III, Par. 10).
“Despite the prevalent belief to the contrary, there are no code of ethics or guidelines of major organizations that specifically ban gifts in therapy (Zur, 2007). Except for the AAMT, ACA and NAADAC Codes of Ethics, neither the major US professional organizations’ (i.e., APA, ApA, CAMFT, NASW, NBCC), nor Canadian (i.e., CPA, CCA) nor Australian (i.e., APS, AASW, AIWCW, PACFA) codes of ethics mention the topic of gifts.”
I wouldn’t worry about your therapist losing his license if you give him some cookies and juice.
A better mashul would be going into a grocery store buying a mixture of kosher and delicious treif products, filling your pantry with them and deciding only to eat the kosher ones.
Thank you for elevating me to a Moed.
What confused ir is that the term agunah is generally used to refer to a (married or previously married) woman who is unable Halachically to get married. (her husband is missing and probably dead, her husband won’t give her a get, insane husband, etc)
ir was not familiar with the word as used here.

Yes you missed something. The non-Jewish people described by j-phone were clearly in the annoyed group, not the annoying group.
I believe by pointing this out j-phone was highlighting the Chillul Hashem.
okay
I’m not really into the discussion
I just wanted to clarify one point in my previous post
But to join the discussion, there are a lot of differing and legitimate opinions re the shiur for lo yadu.
How old are the children?
What kind of jobs are the 2 jobs. Does she work 16 hours a day?
Or is one job tutoring children one or two hours a day on sunday, and the other job styling sheitels.
I think the Odom Godol would certainly ask these questions and I think what he would advise them would be greatly dependent upon their levels of Yirus Shamayim, Bitochon, and love of the Abishter.
Maybe this is a family on the brink of destruction.
Maybe this family exists in a bliss that most of us could not imagine.
Let’s not assume too much based on our own american ideas and ideals.
The Mods are wide awake.
We try not to eliminate nice compliments.
Oomis human nature is human nature, and the Holy Jewish Nation is the Holy Jewish Nation.
He didn’t say it was Assur to find Kosher ways to seek the entertainments and distractions of the Nations. He said it was a shame.
I don’t know why you are asking me. I certainly don’t think so and never indicated that I did. I don’t believe Joseph indicated that one should get that drunk either.
A common mistake when making a model airplane is to start by putting glue all over the parts. That just creates a mess. The wrong bits get stuck together, wings get stuck to the floor, windows stuck on your fingers. It only complicates things when you introduce the glue too early.
The way to build a model airplane is to first organize the parts. Make sure the pieces fit together and nothing is missing. Then gradually apply the glue, and join the various parts, piece by piece, until it starts to take shape.
The parts may not fit perfectly at first. You may have to shave off some rough edges, or bend some parts into shape before they click. Minor imperfections can be overlooked – a dollop of glue can fix them up. With a bit of work it all comes together.
But if you find that there are parts missing, or they don’t fit, then you don’t have what it takes to make an airplane. You can’t use glue to join mismatched pieces, and certainly not to replace missing parts. Don’t even try, just look for a better model.
i cant fix that

give them a buzz:

weird, foreign, and sovereignty have a soft i sound as in “PIN”
their and heir have a soft a sound as in “CAT”
the A in the rule is a hard A as in neighbor and weigh.
none of them sound like “A” as far as i can tell
I learned it as I before E except, usually, after C and when E is before I
All he is saying is the well known and obvious pshat.
There is no Mitzvah of lo adu
The mitzvah is to drink wine.
Lo adu is the shiur of how much to drink.
Some hold the shiur is enough to put one to sleep (which can be as little as a reveis for some people)
Simply going to sleep does not fulfill the Mitzvah

POPPY SEED FILLING:
1 c. poppy seed
1/2 c. water or milk
1/4 c. honey
2 tbsp. sugar
1/8 tsp. salt
1 tsp. fresh lemon juice
1 lg. egg, slightly beaten
Combine first 5 ingredients in a saucepan. Cook over moderate heat until thick, stirring constantly, about 10 minutes. Add lemon juice. Add a little of the hot mixture to the beaten egg and then stir into the remaining poppy seed mixture. Cool thoroughly before using.
Makes sufficient filling for 2 1/2 dozen Hamantaschen.
Here’s a tried and true recipe from the OU weekly newsletter:
DOUBLE CHOCOLATE FILLING (Pareve or Dairy)
4 ounces dairy or pareve pound or chiffon cake
3 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons cocoa, sifted
1 tablespoon butter for dairy, melted (use margarine for pareve)
1 large egg yolk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons chocolate syrup
1 tablespoon orange juice
1/3 cup chocolate mini chips
1. Process cake into fine crumbs and mix in sugar and cocoa. Add butter or margarine.
2. Beat in egg yolk and vanilla. Add chocolate syrup and juice. Fold in chocolate chips.
3. Fill hamantaschen or other cookies, strudel or Danish.

Perhaps that they should be blessed now, and also fortunate enough to see Eliayahu HaNavi and receive renewed blessings in the time of Moshiach.
I know a number of families in Eretz Yisroel, in a similar matziv, who wouldn’t want to live any other way, and thank Hashem every day for allowing them to live such a blessed life.
I was just wondering if this family was like that or if they were unhappy with their lives. That would be a critical distinction to make when deciding whether a parent should intervene in some way.
My son and his Kallah, before they got married dreamed of living in such a Matziv. He looked forwards to having guests for Shabbos and giving up his portion in the meal so a guest could enjoy it.
They live in such a matziv now and we couldnt get them to change it for a million dollars. They exist from day to day and yet are enveloped in an atmosphere of deep and profound Simcha
There are all kinds of Yiddin in this world, and they cant all be placed into our compartmentalized concepts of happiness.
Are THEY unhappy with their situation?
haifa judged me correctly…
although to give NAET a trial, couldn’t hurt. who knows for sure.
Yes, we have always done for our own. If you feel this violates your compassion for the whole of humanity, well then I see why you feel like a hypocrite.
Okay, not Pidyon Shevuim, try saving the life of a Jew who is about to be executed. Isn’t that what you were talking about in your post that I replied to?
Feif Un If he said it he said it, but I don’t know exactly what he meant or how you interpreted it. Do you mean to say the Rav would hold that if a Yeshiva bochur, say, stole some candy in Saudia Arabia and the law there is that he was to be lashed then his hands cut off, that we don’t have Mitzvah to rescue him?
Will we scour the lists for names like Grossman, Feldman, Cohen and Goldstein
Go ahead and scour the lists. If you find any of the names you mentioned or similar ones let us know. I think you probably won’t. For the Jewish People who have a very important and Holy Mitzvah of Pidyon Shevuim, this was a case that stood out for us.
Good question
I guess it’s like the Mann
You have to imagine the chocolate.
from the National Psoriasis Foundation:
Biologically based practices include, but are not limited to, botanicals, animal-derived extracts, vitamins, minerals, proteins, prebiotics, probiotics, whole diets and functional foods.
Dietary supplements. These products include vitamins, minerals, herbs or other botanicals, amino acids, and substances such as enzymes. Supplements can be extracts or concentrates and can occur in many forms, such as tablets, capsules, softgels, gelcaps, liquids or powders.
A variety of supplements have been used by psoriasis patients to control their disease, including: evening primrose oil, milk thistle, and oregano oil. Turmeric has been used by a number of patients but recent studies have suggested that it is not effective in psoriasis treatment.
Herbal remedies are increasingly popular and mainstream.
It is important to carefully examine the herbal remedy you choose to use, as some cannot be used during pregnancy or when you have a pre-existing medical condition. If you are unsure of the potential side effects or possible interactions with medications, consult a health-care professional before starting to take an herbal remedy.
Functional Foods
Functional foods are a part of an average diet that may have biologically active components, such as fish oils, that may provide health benefits beyond basic nutrition. Examples of functional foods include soy, nuts, chocolate and cranberries.
Diet
People with psoriasis are individuals with different backgrounds, habits and medical histories, who respond to substances differently at different times. Moreover, people with psoriasis can have remissions that have nothing to do with changes in diets or treatments. These variables make it difficult to evaluate whether any specific dietary change is responsible for clearing or worsening psoriasis. The addition or elimination of one substance from the diet can be the remedy for one person and the culprit for another.
Some psoriasis patients believe that a wheat allergy triggers their psoriasis. Others have found success by eliminating red meat and fatty foods from their diet. The National Psoriasis Foundation message board is a good resource to learn about what diets have been successful for other psoriasis patients.

also have someone take a video of you at the height of the hangover. watch it next year before Purim
Pickle juice can be pretty acidic, especially if vinegar based. Doesn’t sound too good to me.
from the Mayo Clinic website:
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others) and naproxen (Aleve), can cause both acute gastritis and chronic gastritis…
Alcohol can irritate and erode your stomach lining, which makes your stomach more vulnerable to digestive juices. Excessive alcohol use is more likely to cause acute gastritis.
I also would definitely say NO ADVIL which is a well known stomach irritant and known to even cause gastrointestinal bleeding in some people. Tylenol is definitely preferred.
From the LiveScience website:
Don’t believe the folklore remedy that drinking more alcohol will cure your hangover.
More alcoholic drinks will only boost the existing toxicity of the alcohol already in one’s body…
With a hangover, you’re most likely suffering from dehydration and a deficiency of important minerals like magnesium and potassium. Symptoms of dehydration include headache, cottonmouth, lightheadedness, and thirst. Drinking water and sports drinks will help you replenish your fluids, according to the NIAAA.
You may also feel queasy. Alcohol is also an irritant and can cause inflammation of the stomach lining and gastrointestinal discomfort.
These symptoms become worse if someone has consumed beverages with more alcohol content like shots of whiskey, as opposed to more dilute drinks such as beer.
I’m not so sure additional alcohol has been proven as a remedy. The nausea comes from gastritis secondary to the irritating influence of the alcohol on the stomach lining. I doubt if additional irritation will relieve the problem.
The tabasco sauce and pepper don’t seem like they will do much good for the gastritis either.
Hydration sure helps though.

I did not say it was a bribe. A bribe however shares the same mechanism of a pidyon in that it is an implanted nature that a gift bends the heart of the recipient. This is why I mentioned the Gemorrahs.
And it is NOT given primarily for appreciation, it is always given BEFORE the Bracha, and must be so in order to be effective. The appreciation is a secondary intention. It is given in order to bend the heart of the Rebbe towards the recipient of the Brocha, to increase the intensity of the Brocha. The Rebbe himself wishes to have the pidyon so that it will help him give a better Brocha. This is well known, even great Rebbes, even Yaakov Avinu.
I am not attempting to argue with you, I don’t even know what your position is. I’m just bringing some useful information to whomever wishes to think about it.
Unfortunately, today we have been drowned in American values and think such a practice is lowly, or at the best, a matter of showing appreciation. It was something else entirely.
It used to be the practice that before asking a Rebbe for a Bracha one would give him a small amount of money, called a pidyon.
A gift affects ones Neshama and bends ones heart to the giver, as well as increasing Simcha. This is why Yaakov Avinu asked Esav to hunt some delicacies for him before giving him the Bracha.
Ones heart, everyones, is bent by a payment, this is thoroughly discussed, regarding bribes, in many sugyas in the Gemorrah. It is a universal component of human nature.
