About abortion posts: what I learned from Calvin and Hobbes.
Hobbes: "How are you doing on your New Year's resolutions?"

Calvin: "I didn't make any. See, in order to improve oneself, one must have some idea of what's 'good.' That implies certain values. But as we all know, values are relative. Every system of belief is equally valid and we need to tolerate diversity. Virtue isn't 'better' than vice. It's just different."

Hobbes: "I don't know if I can tolerate that much tolerance."

Calvin: "I refuse to be victimized by notions of virtuous behavior."


Wish I had the illustrations to go along with it.

NB: the above post is left intentionally ambiguous.

And I don't know if my liver hurts does. I just think it does. But it may, in fact, hurt.

3. Then you need to read up on dandelion, milk thistle and lipoic
acid... NOTE: I did not say to take these materials... I just said to "read up on them".

Liver Degenerative Disease
Updated: 06/02/2003

Liver Function
Causes
Detoxification
Free-Radical Damage And Lipid Peroxidation
Treatment
Summary
When compared to other health conditions, it is striking how little attention is given to diseases of the liver, particularly considering the rising level of concern about health and health-related environmental issues. Hepatoprotection (or protection of the liver) is a subject that should be of intense interest because the liver plays a critical role in all aspects of metabolism and overall health.

This protocol will present intriguing information about the role of the liver and explain why a well-functioning liver is essential for overall health. Also identified will be environmental hazards that constantly challenge the detoxification capacity of the liver. Research on the effects of alcohol on the liver will be discussed. Additionally, you will learn what you can do to support and optimize the function of your liver and thus optimize your future health and quality of life.

Some beneficial herbs will also be described. In Europe and Asia, herbal liver tonics have been in common use for decades--perhaps even for centuries. The effectiveness of the herbs used in these remedies has been validated during the past several decades through research and clinical studies. These herbs generally contain antioxidants; membrane-stabilizing and bile-enhancing compounds; or substances that prevent depletion of sulfhydryl compounds, such as glutathione.

4. I tend to treat my liver with/to the juniper plant.
But I'll look into those other herbs.

Hmmmmmmmmm, herbs.

Thanks for your concern.
