Lol, nice dubs. But introducing viruses to fight viruses is the most homeopathic thing you can do, and it's ironically effective. Most homeopathic remedies are ridiculous pseudo, though. (ex. heating up someone with a fever)

Since we're on vaccines, I'd like to suggest this course of action for all physicians dealing with antivaxxers:
Act like you're on their side. Suggest the use of vaccines that prevent deadly or debilitating diseases and also suggest they skip the annual Walmart flu shot. I give any antivaxxer who's listening a vaccine schedule and try to explain what each one prevents, case by case. They usually cave in by the time I get to Polio. >>10476097 >>10476124 >>10476163 >>10476200

That's my point, Anon - these medications are overprescribed. Dextro is actually over the counter medication by the way, Robitussin. Silver nano is extremely effective in vitro, more so than the leading pharmaceuticals as illustrated by the graph and article. They have a very high ld50 values - I think it says it somewhere in the article (I also speed red, but I've read plenty of articles on the subject). That means it has a relatively low cytotoxicity, much lower than Warfarin for example. The cost to produce it is insanely cheap, you just need pure silver, distilled water, and an electric current (pic related). Of course you'll need some decent lab tech to make the particles small enough to be effective (1-10nm) but it's still cheap with respect to it's true value. The primary concerns of introducing colloids to the body is that raw minerals/metals tend to deposit in the body over time and this can be dangerous. The only notable side effect of using silver nano today is argyria, or permanent blueing of skin. This is a rare condition may I add - and it only possible through decades use of high PPM, large particle colloids in direct contact.

OOPS... I almost forgot. Why would Thymol impress someone of your status? Might I introduce you to beta-boswellic acid instead? It's a constituent of Boswellia Carterii (Frankincense) oleo-tree-resin which has been proven to have anti-cancer properties in vitro and in vivo. Here's some "papers," buddy.

Sure buddy, I'll answer your questions. Illness is caused by a variety of biological factors at the cellular level. Treating illness biochemically means to introduce foreign chemicals to the body (either herbal constituents or pharmaceutical isolates) to redirect these cellular processes towards a state of recovery. This includes everything from combating pathogens to correcting neurochemical imbalances, all of which can be done to some extent using herbal constituents and is often relatively easy for home health remedies. For example...

Thymol has been extensively researched and proven to be an effective antimicrobial agent. It is found in high concentrations in the essential oils of Thyme leaves, a common household herb. One could easily drop thyme plant into their tea to help fight infection without doing the damage taking a Thymol isolate would create with respect to human microbiota (sourced in >>10476193). It will also add vitamins, minerals, and other constituents besides Thymol to the bodies molecular reservoir [arsenal] which it can use to recover with. These extra constituents have a number of potential benefits, such as their application as an anti inflammatory (see source below).

I can go on and on, Anon. But something tells me wise words fall upon deaf ears. That something is experience. Though I appreciate the critics as they have molded me into what I am today, so I thank you.

So yes, I'll stick to drinking my silver, Anon. In fact... I felt cold like symptoms coming on the other day as my friend from out of town was staying with me. I snorted some silver colloid as soon as I felt the infection coming on, and it didn't even last a full day. Of course I paired this with some vitamin C therapy, warm clothes and socks - you know, holistic therapy (not to be confused with homeopathy you daftie.) No Dextromethorphan, Codeine, or Zithromycin needed (that's antibiotics, if you were unaware). I'll skip the perturbed balance of natural flora and the subsequent disease it causes (source below) among the other repercussions of overusing antibiotics.

I agree, homeopaths are foolish. You do know what a homeopath is, right? Or are you just grouping everyone who's not a mainstream pill-pusher? Because homeopaths would suggest the use of vaccines, since the "like cures like" philosophy is in effect. I think you've developed a bias after reading too many Facebook posts.
> better stick to drinking that silver
Ah, which brings me to my next point I've been meaning to address as I brought it up to >>10475419 earlier.

Again, if you dismiss the value of herbs (or elementals in this case) please stay out of medicine. Silver nanoparticles between 1-10 nanometers bind to GP120 spikes on HIV-1 cells which inhibits them from articulating with CD4 receptor sites on human immune cells, thus acting as an effective entry inhibitor for viral replication. Not impressed? What if I told you the duration and overall effectiveness of silver as an HIV specific antiviral has been shown to be greater than the four leading pharmaceutical categories of HIV medication on the market today, in vitro? That is Fusion inhibitors, Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors, Protease Inhibitors, and Integrase inhibitors respectively (pic related). You can also in the source below, %fusion to CD4 positive cells is diminished with nanoparticle concentration which further proves the effectiveness of silver in fighting viral loads.

> US adopts Caduceus as a symbol of medicine
So this completely negates the origins of the two staffs, of which I gave a historical account of complete with an illustration? I know it's used in the US, that's why I said
> M.D.s are represented by the Caduceus
Because that's the case, just like D.O.s are represented by the rod of Asclepios as I said before. You should go back and take another look at that post anon... How it was adopted in the US is sort of irrelevant to the point made and doesn't
indicate that I'm lacking in historical knowledge.

>>10476094
Yes, just as I said in >>10475341 this is Greek Mythology

I meant to say "invivo and invitro," yes there is a language barrier. I'm phoneposting and therefore not putting much effort into detail.

>>10475582
Thanks Anon, I'm already pretty great at what I do so I think you're right.

>>10475491
I was trying to make a distinction for whole-herb concoctions usefulness in treating illness biochemically; I inferred most could make that distinction from context so I apologise for not being concise. I hate phoneposting... I put nutrition and TLC are to make a comparison of herb to classify it as evidence based medicine, which is where allopaths disagree, which is what it seems you're doing by not including it so thanks for proving my point.

>>10475419
Heck yeah man, I'll try to post some research when I get home. Really awesome vivo vitro trials, I don't understand why they're not more popular. I'm living the dream already, friend. If I die now at least I have advocated on 4chan, the most important scientific community...

>>10475383
Agreed.

>>10475358
I urge you to talk with more D.Os. My story is long... I was a patient my entire life from a chemicall-babysat latchkey kid to a vehicular trauma patient. This unique patient perspective drives my passion to develop the industry. Right now I'm nursing, next stop is MD. They're all a means to an end, my true passion is developing new therapies for disease which most of my research happens independently. Right now I'm researching the effects of silver nanoparticles and beta boswellic acid on HIV and cancer respectively. (NCBI it, I can't post research from phone)

>>10475344
You got it anon, as far as herbs it's definitely better to use them as an alterative. Prevention is preferable to treatment, and they can help aide the process. Isolates are great, but herbs contain a plethora of constituents which can make recovery more complete. Besides, most pills today are designed to provide symptom relief and don't really address the issue. That's our issue... Many naturopaths don't know how to communicate effectively, and I do apologise on their behalf as they make others look like quacks. They are simply overzealous, but they do have the right idea. Good luck Anon, you'll do great.

> Rod of Asclepius edition
D.Os are represented by the Rod of Asclepius (single serpent staff) and M.Ds are represented by the Caducius (two serpent staff).

This illustration has so much meaning to me as a healthcare practitioner, it is amazing how relevant this artistic piece is today even after several hundred years. In Greek Mythology Asclepius is known as the deity of healing; here he is illustrated wielding his serpent-entwined staff which heals the sick and could raise the dead. To his right are his three daughters representing some essential components of healthcare - Medicine, Hygiene, and the esoteric or perhaps spiritual/psychologic elements of recovery.

Asclepius is shown looking down upon Hermes - a mischievous god of trade and wealth, and his kneeling merchant companion who are shown proposing something to him. This is an (early) indication of the divide between Commercial Healthcare and true therapeutics. The Global Healthcare System is ill with greed, and it's up to this generation to heal it. So, what say you aspiring medical practitioners? Will you practice for love of your patients, or will you practice only for love of yourself?

Osteopathy is a philosophy in modern times. They still practice OMT, Herbal Therapeutics and other less popular techniques (ex. Sitz baths) in an attempt to challenge the allopathic mentality which thinks every ailment can be treated with pills or surgery. It's a holistic approach; many holistic doctors today are D.Os. Instead of prescribing antibiotics for minor infections, or powerful opioids for any pain level (which might disrupt the bodies chemistry causing more harm in the long run) they may discuss plans with the patient to help them manage ailments naturally, though they still reserve the right to prescribe whatever they see fit (antibiotics or opioids). If you believe OMT, Herbal chemistry, Nutritional advice, and therapeutic lifestyle changes have no value in medicine - please stay out of medicine.

Math is the simplest subject.

>>10472803
Everythings an "A" right now but I somehow neglected an online quiz for one important class and got a 0. I also got a couple zeros in another class with very many assignments but I think that's because my teacher doesn't know how to setup the online assignments (SIMNET). I have to talk to my teachers upon returning from break and see how I can compensate other than grinding as usual. I will probably be alright, I should be able to keep my A's and get that sweet Summa Cum Laude but if not I'll still make it through.

What about you, OP? Was your Spring break all you could have asked for? Will you be drinking green beer today and partying one last time?

Inb4 a 0 degree cube would stop time as we know it, or at least proximally.

>>10473671
I don't see why not, you'd need a vacuum freezer capable of cooling to 0 degrees kelvin or something. If you dropped such an ice cube in water it's movement would be dependent on all the other variables excluding buoyancy, including the currents made by cool/warm water as it melts or perhaps those currents made by the transfer of energy during the cubes dissent into the cup.

This is an interesting compound because... Just try it.

>>10471873
This is because when water freezes it takes on a lattice-crystal formation which traps air in between structures on a molecular level. This is why a gram of ice expands to take up more volume than a gram of water. The trapped gases ultimately increase the ices buoyancy causing it to float. Yaet.

>>10469400
Well friend, since you asked... Something can't come from nothing, therefore the creationists probably have the wrong idea. What's more likely is that there's an infinitum in which everything always has and will exist. With regard to the concept of infinity, there are probably planets identical to this one including every life on it as well as every possible variant of each of those lives located somewhere, some-time in the universe. That's my take on reincarnation. Now... How do the dead link to that?

Perhaps your persons consciousness halted when their brain stopped. What is more likely is that their brain, being the electromagnetic radio tower it is, has interacted with the universe in some very subtle way that will change the course of universal history - perhaps even linking to those other distant dopple-gangers across the infinitum using some frequency undetectable by modern electroencephalogram. That is most likely, though we are still unsure if consciousness is even a chemical product. It may very well be an integral part of the universe, which means we never die or live in the way we often perceive it as humans but rather in some universal... Centrally-decentralized network of being.

tl:dr your Granny isn't "gone"

>>10473573
*Increases the buoyancy of the mass
Sorry, I'm high on LSD.

This molecule is unique because just try it.

>>10471873
That's because the lattice crystal formation freezing water takes on actually leaves room for tiny air pockets, which in turn raise the overall density of the entire mass.

lol. Nursing is the perfect pre-med except it's lacking the requirements of Organic Chem, Physics and Calculus. There are many higher-level bio classes required for nursing including Pathophysiology and many more requirements that help in med such as pharmacology or medical terminology to name a couple. Some universities allow you to minor in Psychology or other cool titles like "BSN w/ Minor in Global Health."

Though most Nurses just go NP to begin prescribing medication instead. I for one am going MD because I want to practice medicine abroad where an NP title won't get me far in other countries. This is the same reason I'm going MD although I'm an Osteopath in theory. MD/DO is the same med degree in America, but certain other countries don't let DO's practice because those countries are convinced they're stoner-herbalists and Reiki practitioners or something.
