Dr. Shroyer called today to tell me what the lab results were for Tigger. It appears that he has hyperthyroidism, which is accounting for his weight loss. After he finishes the course of antibiotics he's on now, I'll have to bring him back in to be weighed, and we will proceed from there as to what kind of treatment we'll do.

 

With thyroid problems, the condition can be treated with diet or pills, and since he will be really hard to give pills to, diet might be the best way to go, except for how I'll be able to keep his two brothers out of his food, and him out of theirs! Pills would probably be easier, that is, if I could get him used to taking them, which doesn't seem like it's going to happen! I will try Joan's suggestion of pill pockets as soon as I can get to the pet store. That might help, hopefully.

 

Thanks to everyone who has been praying for us! This weekend was the best I've seen in my store since I've worked there, and I will be hitting commission this week! Please continue to pray that sales are steadily better, as I still have two years of property tax to catch up on, and no homeowner's insurance, and the extra vet bills have been killing me financially! God has been providing, but I sure could use a few months of prosperity to pull out of the hole I'm in, and regardless of whether I do or not, I want to be able to take care of my pets to the best of my ability. They are good boys, and all getting older with issues, but they have given me a lot of joy and companionship through the years, and I want them cared for and happy!

 

I'll keep everyone informed as to Tigger's progress as we go along. For anyone who doesn't know, Tigger has his own group here on Flickr, which is where I found out about him before I adopted him! Check out "Tigger The Gatekeeper's Garden Clubhouse" to learn about his very interesting life, and to share your own kitty pics! This cat is quite a character, with a personality that is just fantastic. He's known all over the world, and I keep running into people who've encountered him in his days at Sugar Mill Gardens, where he was a fixture for years before he came to live with me. One girl even told me about him being in her wedding pictures when she was wed in the outdoor chapel area! No one seems to know exactly how old Tigger is, but we do know that he started his life out being called "Jack", by his first person. Somewhere along the line, he became Tigger, and has endeared himself to thousands of people, who have become his fans, of which I am one, also!

 

It was such good news to hear that there was a tangible reason for his weight loss, because if thyroid was ruled out, cancer was the most likely thing left. Hopefully we will be able to get Tigger healthy again, and he'll be able to live with me for many years to come!

 

This pic was taken years ago in Sugar Mill Gardens. Below is the original, first edit. I readjusted a few things, and also used the Advanced HDR filter on iPiccy to give a little more detail. The changes aren't blatant, but I think it's better.

Just a few pics taken this week of Keiko. The sun was out earlier this week but it's pretty gloomy out now and will be for the remainder of the week.

 

Keiko is still on the thyroid pills via the insistence of my vet. Her vomiting has subsided but she still goes outside, eats grass and upchucks.

 

March 1st will be her 15th birthday. February has been a tough month for my senior girl but she's hanging in there, still is active and enjoying life.

During the month of October I am participating in a month-long blog hop with some amazing artists. Everyday you will find a new Halloween project on all of the blogs listed below. Each project must have stamping on it, be it digi or ink. There are prizes to win, be sure to check out all the rules HERE and information on the daily scavenger hunt is posted there! You must go HERE to find the item/s you are looking for the scavenger hunt.

 

If you are looking for my Delightful Challenge Post it is here.

 

Welcome to Day 16 of the 31 Days of Halloween hop with SmearedInk.com! Happy Thursday everyone--warning this post is an overshare and might not be suitable for everyone...that's okay, I understand. Just look at the tile and read no further. I promise, I will not share a valued technique today. This is a personal story and rather the madness behind the tile.

Today I was "scheduled" to do a tag but I changed my mind. Let me tell you why and what's behind this strange tile. I am having a biopsy today for my thyroid...let's back up. Before my daughter turned 2 (she is now 8), I was diagnosed with Thyroid disease...I had Hyperthyroidism--think thyroid in hyperdrive...it works too much. As a condition of this you sometimes have a swollen thyroid, sometimes you get goiters [think lumpy balls] in your thyroid. When I was first diagnosed I was diligent in taking my medicine--not. The only daily pill I had been on ever was a birth control pill and it had been a good 9 years since I had taken one of those. I did not want to take a daily pill. I was not good at remembering. After a few years of attempting to remember my medication I just finally gave up and went into a 6 year period of denial where I did not take it and I did not go to the doctor--EVER.

After a difficult year medically with my son and my husband, I had promised my health would take center focus...if only I knew then.... So I started this journey with the new year--my word was THRIVE, right? I was going to THRIVE in every aspect of my life. A checkup led to more invasive doctors visits....a diagnosis of high blood pressure--score 2 pills--a diagnosis of diabetes--score a pill and a lifestyle adjustment--a diagnosis of hyperthyroidism--score that stupid little pill I didn't want to take to start with and more invasive tests.

This summer I went through a horrifying sonogram with a crazy technician that had me convinced I had thyroid cancer. She was inappropriate and we hope wrong...we will know shortly. I got sent to a specialist last month to discuss "the next step." That is what we're calling the biopsy..."the next step." Basically this is to prove without a doubt that there is no cancer but rather some benign gunk in my thyroid in little goiters that can stay in me as long as they do not become a problem with my swallowing, breathing, etc. While I have tried the denial of stress thing for the last few months, those close to me know that this is killing me inside. This is evidenced by the explosion of fever blisters across my lips today [written Wednesday].

So Wednesday night before my biopsy, as I looked at my cut tag and thought of what I wanted to add, I kept thinking how frightened I was of not knowing, how the doctor would be poking me with various skinny long needles and making slides of the goo that she pulled out...I really felt like I would look like Dr. Frankenstein's Monster as I laid there while the doctor held her sono-wand in one hand going from lump to lump and sticking needles in my neck. So as I worried and relieved some stress, I misted and stenciled and stamped and embossed and ended up with my Frankenstein's Monster Tile. There you go...the method to today's madness. I hope you enjoy my project! Please come back tomorrow for more!

A specialist is the first and the lone individual that comes as a main priority when somebody isn't well and is wiped out. In any sort of ailment and in the event of health-related crises specialists are the lone individuals that could help us. Specialists in Gurgaon are the best specialists one can discover in Delhi NCR

The History of Physicians/Doctors

Ancient "specialists": 25,000 BC +

The principal "healers" were chronicled in cave artworks in what is presently France. The works of art were radiocarbon-dated as far back as 27,000 years prior and portrayed individuals utilizing plants for therapeutic purposes. This is the principal recorded case of what in the end formed into the main clinical information base, gone down through clans. Trepanation – penetrating the skull to assuage torment, was done millennia prior with patchy achievement

Deal with like an Egyptian: Surgery 5,000 years prior

Not exclusively were the antiquated Egyptians probably the best individuals on Earth (Homer – of Odyssey popularity, not the one in the old Egypt Simpsons scene – credited their general medical care framework, just as the dry environment) however Egyptians likewise played out a portion of the primary recorded a medical procedure: root trench (some proof recommends teeth might have been penetrated as ahead of schedule as 9,000 years prior in India.) Back then, at that point, being a specialist included authority of heavenly texts just as later being prepared in life structures and conclusion.

Greece and the origination of clinical morals

Affected by Egyptian and Babylonian medication, the acclaimed Greek "doctor" Hippocrates composed the Hippocratic Corpus which is an assortment of around seventy early clinical works from antiquated Greece unequivocally connected with Hippocrates and his understudies. Most broadly, Hippocrates concocted the Hippocratic Oath for doctors, which is as yet significant and being used today.

Middle age Europe and the principal prescription schools

Twelfth-century Italy saw the development of colleges and the principal clinical schools. Now, being a specialist relied less upon the "gospel" of prior clinical texts and more on applying those texts and others to a specialist's individual encounters in the field. The capacity to dependably influence a patient's wellbeing was as yet hit and miss.

The cutting edge specialist

Certainly, current medication is every one of the things individuals expect when they visit a clinic, yet an advanced specialist in the created world is as a very remarkable hero or sci-fi character as agreeable sawbones. The "tool belt" of instruments at an advanced specialist's removal incorporates careful lasers and robots, powerful attractive imagers, and arranged information streams.

Specialists in Gurgaon are profoundly prepared proficient who have devoted their life towards the improvement of way of life of ordinary individuals.

Significance of Doctors in Society

Prior to the revelation of current medication, life was transitory for people. The climate was loaded with concealed risks as illness and ailments. Then, at that point, clinical practice changed into a coordinated calling, and people encountered a critical improvement in the personal satisfaction. Helped by present-day logical development, the limits of clinical innovation reached out as far as possible. In any case, even with this load of mechanical advancements, the situation of specialists in the public arena hasn't reduced; specialists stay vital.

Warren, Connecticut. It's raining so time for a little kitchen table macro fun. This is the syringe of methimazole that we give our 19.5 year old cat for hyperthyroidism two times a day. We've been doing this for many years now and her thyroid condition is under control. These "dosings" are not her favorite time of day and she attempts to hide if she thinks I've got the syringe in hand.

 

This image is about 2 inches edge to edge.

This is Dan (阿丹), a Golden Retrieve in Taiwan. Apparently the owner may have decided to throw this poor dog away. He was found on the street. Unfortunately, this dog has hyperthyroidism condition and requires daily medication.

 

A courteous vet hospital is currently taking care of this dog. However, it is not a long term solution. My cousin, Taven, once again, is reaching out to the world to find this dog a good owner. She is willing to ship the dog to the North America to whom may be interested.

 

Taven reached out last time and I posted the link on Flickr (1 , 2 That dog is now in a happy family in Seattle with another fellow Flickr user cchwang. Please contact me if you are interested in adopting this dog. Thanks!

I am back at home in Chez Jelltex; Mulder is meowing just before dawn, in which case its situation normal. My longer than expected hike the day before meant that my legs were aching to buggery, but it is better than them stopping working.

 

Jools has to be up and about to go to work, but lucky me is working from home, so I can lay in bed a while enjoying the moment, but then I can smell coffee brewing, so I had better face the world. There is coffee on the table, but the cats have gone out exploring after eating, and so once Jools has left, its just me. However, the cats come in one at a time to request more food. At least not all at once.

 

Molly must think I'm looking a little peaky, as she brings me in a partially eaten Goldfinch and a large mouse/small rat, which I don't look at too closely.

 

Work is pretty much as usual, there is stuff to do, mails to send, calls to write, fires to put out. The usual.

 

Cheese and toast for lunch whilst I work. Somehow the volume of work wasn't what I was expecting, I guess what it being an hour ahead in Dk and being Friday afternoon. By two, mails had stopped and I can see most of my colleagues offline. I pack up for the week and get my camera gear together as there was some photographing to do.

 

This weekend in September is Heritage Weekend, and that means getting into churches that usually are locked. In addition, another area of Pugin's house in Ramsgate had been renovated and opened, so it seemed a good idea to go there in the 90 minutes before it closed. I think it was just about worth it.

 

Jools comes home, changes and we get in the car and take the Sandwich road, pretty much the same way I used to go to the office in Ramsgate when I was just an technical assistant, not that long ago, but in terms of my journey, ages ago! Traffic was a little crazy, but that is to be expected, but in the warm sunny weather, it was very pleasant indeed.

 

We park near The Grange, and have about an hour to get the visit done. I go straight to the Presbytery, just about the first to be built in Britain since the middle ages, designed by Pugin, and now converted by the Landmark Trust and now available for holiday rental. They have done a great job, and it feels like a fine place for up to four people can have a great stay, and help support the good cause.

 

I go round snapping each room, climbing the two sets of stairs to see the bedroom at the top, then back down again. What I can say is that it feels more of a home than homely than The Grange, I think I could happily stay here. Stay and maybe never leave, mind.

 

Jools goes to see inside The Grange, but I have been in before, so chat with a guide outside, and I tell her about my job in the survey business. She is really interested, or says she is anyway. I do go in and take a few shots, and see that with the new camera/lens combination, the shots are fabulous. Just wish I had more time to get round.

 

We go back to the car as its four, and the buildings and church are closing.

 

I now spring it onto Jools that we are heading into Canterbury, as there is a church open that evening, that should be interesting. She takes the news well, so we drive round the outskirts of the city so to approach the right part, park up close to the chapel. We make better time that I thought, so we have time for a pint in the Two Brewers near to St Augustine's Abbey. This is the life, finished for the weekend, en route to a chapel and drinking beer and eating cheese and onion crisps; living the dream.

 

From the pub is was a short walk through the underpass then along the city wall to the Zoar Chapel.

 

You read that right; Zoar. Seems that being a Baptist isn't enough, you can have Strict and/or Peculiar Baptists too, and this is the Chapel of the Particular Strict Baptists in the city. The chapel has had an interesting life too; a former bastion in the city wall, then converted for use as a water cistern before the conversion to a church in the 19th century.

 

We are welcomed, but not that warmly, or I might have imagined it, I mean they open the chapel on all four days of the weekend, so they must be proud of the chapel. And rightly so, all lines with white painted wood, almost round, and looking really very fine indeed. I get my shots, talk politely, then we make our way back to the car and home.

 

We have run out of time for that day, so return home ready to have some dinner, as our appetites are raging. And as you will come to expect, its insalata caprese once again, with cheese and pickle bread, thickly sliced and buttered. Add a bottle of red wine, and it is perfect.

 

The cats are happy too, we have fed them and as we slob around the house, they ask for attention, food or whatever. Outside the sun sets on a fine late summer evening, whilst the moon has already risen and looks about half full already.

 

--------------------------------------------------

 

Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin (1 March 1812 – 14 September 1852) was an English architect, designer, artist and critic, chiefly remembered for his pioneering role in the Gothic Revival style; his work culminated in the interior design of the Palace of Westminster. Pugin designed many churches in England, and some in Ireland and Australia.[1] Pugin was the son of Auguste Pugin, and the father of E.W. and Peter Paul Pugin, who continued his architectural firm as Pugin & Pugin.

 

Pugin was the son of a French draughtsman, Auguste Pugin, who had come to England as a result of the French Revolution and had married Catherine Welby of the Denton, Lincolnshire Welby family.[3] Augustus was born at his parents' house in Bloomsbury. Between 1821 and 1838 Pugin's father had published a series of volumes of architectural drawings, the first two entitled, Specimens of Gothic Architecture, and the following three, Examples of Gothic Architecture, that were to remain both in print and the standard references for Gothic architecture for at least the next century.

 

As a child he was taken each Sunday by his mother to the services of the fashionable Scottish Presbyterian preacher Edward Irving (later founder of the Holy Catholic Apostolic Church), at his chapel in Cross Street, Hatton Garden.[4] He soon rebelled against this version of Christianity: according to Benjamin Ferrey, Pugin "always expressed unmitigated disgust at the cold and sterile forms of the Scotch church; and the moment he broke free from the trammels imposed on him by his mother, he rushed into the arms of a church which, pompous by its ceremonies, was attractive to his imaginative mind".

 

Pugin learned drawing from his father, and for a while attended Christ's Hospital. After leaving school he worked in his father's office, and in 1825 and 1827 accompanied him on visits to France.[6] His first commissions independent of his father were for designs for the goldsmiths Rundell and Bridge, and for designs for furniture at Windsor Castle, from the upholsterers Morrel and Seddon. Through a contact made while working at Windsor, he became interested in the design of theatre scenery, and in 1831 obtained a commission to design the sets for the production of a new opera called Kenilworth at Covent Garden.[7] He also developed an interest in sailing, and briefly commanded a small merchant schooner trading between Britain and Holland, which allowed him to import examples of furniture and carving from Flanders,with which he later furnished his house at Ramsgate.[8] During one voyage in 1830 he was wrecked on the Scottish coast near Leith,[9] as a result of which he came into contact with Edinburgh architect James Gillespie Graham, who advised him to abandon seafaring for architecture.[10] He then set up a business supplying historically accurate carved wood and stone details for the increasing number of buildings being constructed in the Gothic style, but the enterprise soon failed.

 

In 1831, aged nineteen, Pugin married the first of his three wives, Anne Garnet.[11] Anne died a few months later in childbirth, leaving him with a daughter. He had a further six children, including the architect Edward Pugin, with his second wife, Louisa Button, who died in 1844. His third wife, Jane Knill, kept a journal of their married life together, between their marriage in 1848 and his death; it was later published.[12] Their son was Peter Paul Pugin.

 

In 1834, Pugin became a Roman Catholic convert,[16] and was received into the Church in the following year.[17] Pugin's father Auguste-Charles Pugin, was a Frenchman who had come to England as a result of the French Revolution. It is probable that he, like many others, converted to the Anglican faith in order to get work (it was highly unlikely that any non-Anglican could obtain a government commission or tender for example).

British society at this time had many restrictions on any person not adhering to the state religion of the Anglican Church. Non-Anglicans could not attend University, for example as well as being unable to stand for parish or city councils, be an MP, serve as a policeman, in the armed forces or even on a jury. A number of reforms in the early 19th century changed this situation, the most important of which was the Roman Catholic Relief Act of 1829 which specifically abolished the restrictions on Catholics. After 1829 it became (in theory at least) possible to have a successful career while being a Catholic - this was the background to A W Pugin's conversion to the Roman Catholic Church.

However his conversion also brought him into contact with new patrons and employers. In 1832 he had made the acquaintance of John Talbot, 16th Earl of Shrewsbury, a Roman Catholic, sympathetic to his aesthetic views who employed him in alterations and additions to his residence Alton Towers, which subsequently led to many other commissions.[18] Shrewsbury commissioned him to build St. Giles' Catholic Church, Cheadle, completed in 1846, and Pugin was also responsible for designing the oldest Catholic church in Shropshire, St Peter and Paul at Newport.

 

In 1841 he left Salisbury,[20] finding it an inconvenient base for his growing architectural practice.[21] He sold St Marie's Grange at a considerable financial loss,[22] and moved temporarily to Cheyne Walk, Chelsea. He had however already purchased a piece of land at the West Cliff, Ramsgate, where he proceeded to build himself a large house and, at his own expense, a church on which he worked whenever funds allowed. His second wife died in 1844 and was buried at St. Chad's, Birmingham, a church which he had designed himself.

 

Following the destruction by fire of the Palace of Westminster in 1834, Pugin was employed by Sir Charles Barry to supply interior designs for his entry to the architectural competition which would determine who would build the new Palace of Westminster. Pugin also supplied drawings for James Gillespie Graham's entry.[24] This followed a period of employment when Pugin had worked with Barry on the interior design of King Edward's School, Birmingham. Despite his conversion to Catholicism in 1834, Pugin designed and refurbished both Anglican and Catholic churches throughout the country.

Other works include St Chad's Cathedral, Erdington Abbey and Oscott College, all in Birmingham. He also designed the college buildings of St Patrick and St Mary in St. Patrick's College, Maynooth; though not the college chapel. His original plans included both a chapel and an aula maxima (great hall), neither of which were built because of financial constraints. The college chapel was designed by a follower of Pugin, the Irish architect J.J. McCarthy. Also in Ireland, Pugin designed St Mary's Cathedral in Killarney, St Aidan's Cathedral, Enniscorthy (renovated in 1996) and the Dominican church of the Holy Cross in Tralee. He revised the plans for St Michael's Church in Ballinasloe, Galway. Pugin was also invited by Bishop Wareing to design what eventually became Northampton Cathedral, a project that was completed in 1864 by Pugin's son Edward Welby Pugin.

Pugin visited Italy in 1847; his experience there confirmed his dislike of Renaissance and Baroque architecture, but he found much to admire in the medieval art of northern Italy.

 

In February 1852, while travelling with his son Edward by train, Pugin suffered a total breakdown and arrived in London unable to recognise anyone or speak coherently. For four months he was confined to a private asylum, Kensington House. In June, he was transferred to the Royal Bethlem Hospital, popularly known as Bedlam.[26] At that time, Bethlem Hospital was opposite St George's Cathedral, Southwark, one of Pugin's major buildings, where he had married his third wife, Jane, in 1848. Jane and a doctor removed Pugin from Bedlam and took him to a private house in Hammersmith where they attempted therapy, and he recovered sufficiently to recognise his wife.[26] In September, Jane took her husband back to The Grange in Ramsgate, where he died on 14 September 1852.[26] He is buried in his church next to The Grange, St Augustine's, Ramsgate.

On Pugin's death certificate, the cause listed was "convulsions followed by coma". Pugin's biographer, Rosemary Hill, suggests that, in the last year of his life, he was suffering from hyperthyroidism which would account for his symptoms of exaggerated appetite, perspiration, and restlessness. Hill writes that Pugin's medical history, including eye problems and recurrent illness from his early twenties, suggests that he contracted syphilis in his late teens, and this may have been the cause of his death at the age of 40.

Niki de Saint Phalle (born Catherine-Marie-Agnès Fal de Saint Phalle 29 October 1930 – 21 May 2002) was a French sculptor, painter, and filmmaker.

Catherine Marie-Agnès Fal de Saint Phalle was born on October 29, 1930 in Neuilly-sur-Seine, Hauts-de-Seine, near Paris. Her father was Count André-Marie Fal de Saint Phalle (1906–1967), a French banker, and her mother was an American, named Jeanne Jacqueline Harper (1908–1980). She had four siblings, and a double first cousin was French novelist Thérèse de Saint Phalle (Baroness Jehan de Drouas). After being wiped out financially during the Great Depression, the family moved from France to the United States in 1933, where her father worked as manager of the American branch of the Saint Phalle family's bank. Saint Phalle enrolled at the prestigious Brearley School in New York City but was dismissed for painting fig leaves red on the school's statuary. She went on to attend Oldfields School in Glencoe, Maryland, where she graduated in 1947. During her teenaged years, Saint Phalle was a fashion model; at the age of eighteen, she appeared on the cover of Life (26 September 1949) and, three years later, on the November 1952 cover of French Vogue.

At eighteen, Saint Phalle eloped with author Harry Mathews, whom she had known since the age of twelve through her father, and moved to Cambridge, Massachusetts. While her husband studied music at Harvard University, Saint Phalle began to paint, experimenting with different media and styles. Their first child, Laura, was born in April 1951.

Saint Phalle rejected the staid, conservative values of her family, which dictated domestic positions for wives and particular rules of conduct. Poet John Ashbery recalled that Saint Phalle's artistic pursuits were rejected by members of Saint Phalle clan: her uncle "French banker Count Alexandre de Saint-Phalle, ... reportedly takes a dim view of her artistic activities," Ashbery observed. However, after marrying young and becoming a mother, she found herself living the same bourgeois lifestyle that she had attempted to reject; the internal conflict, as well as reminiscences of her rape by her father when she was only 11 caused her to suffer a nervous breakdown. As a form of therapy, she was urged to pursue her painting.

While in Paris on a modeling assignment, Saint Phalle was introduced to the American painter Hugh Weiss, who became both her friend and mentor. He encouraged her to continue painting in her self-taught style.

She subsequently moved to Deià, Majorca, Spain, where her son, Philip Abdi, was born in May 1955. While in Spain, Saint Phalle read the works of Proust and visited Madrid and Barcelona, where she became deeply affected by the work of Antoni Gaudí. Gaudí's influence opened many previously unimagined possibilities for Saint Phalle, especially with regard to the use of unusual materials and objets-trouvés as structural elements in sculpture and architecture. Saint Phalle was particularly struck by Gaudí's "Park Güell" which persuaded her to create one day her own garden-based artwork that would combine both artistic and natural elements.

Saint Phalle continued to paint, particularly after she and her family moved to Paris in the mid-1950s. Her first art exhibition was held in 1956 in Switzerland, where she displayed her naïve style of oil painting. She then took up collage work that often featured images of the instruments of violence, such as guns and knives.

In the late 1950s, Saint Phalle was ill with hyperthyroidism, which was eventually treated by an operation in 1958. Sometime during the early 1960s, she left her first husband.

Saint Phalle created "Shooting Paintings" in the early 1960s. These pieces of art were polythene bags of paints in human forms covered in white plaster. The pieces were shot at to open the bags of paint to create the image.

After the "Shooting paintings" came a period when she explored the various roles of women. She made life-size dolls of women, such as brides and mothers giving birth. They were primarily made of plaster over a wire framework and plastic toys, then painted all white.

Inspired by the pregnancy of her friend Clarice Price, the wife of American artist Larry Rivers, she began to use her artwork to consider archetypal female figures in relation to her thinking on the position of women in society. Her artistic expression of the proverbial everywoman were named 'Nanas', after a French slang word that is roughly equivalent to "broad". name The first of these freely posed forms—made of papier-mâché, yarn, and cloth—were exhibited at the Alexander Iolas Gallery in Paris in September 1965. For this show, Iolas published her first artist book that includes her handwritten words in combination with her drawings of 'Bananas'. Encouraged by Iolas, she started a highly productive output of graphic work that accompanied exhibitions that included posters, books, and writings.

In 1966, Saint Phalle collaborated with fellow artist Jean Tinguely and Per Olof Ultvedt (sv) on a large-scale sculpture installation, "hon-en katedral" ("she-a cathedral") for Moderna Museet, Stockholm, Sweden. The outer form of "hon" is a giant, reclining 'Nana', whose internal environment is entered from between her legs.[9] The piece elicited immense public reaction in magazines and newspapers throughout the world. The interactive quality of the "hon" combined with a continued fascination with fantastic types of architecture intensified her resolve to see her own architectural dreams realized. During the construction of the "hon-en katedral," she met Swiss artist Rico Weber (de), who became an important assistant and collaborator for both de Saint Phalle and Jean Tinguely. During the 1960s, she also designed decors and costumes for two theatrical productions: a ballet by Roland Petit, and an adaptation of the Aristophanes play "Lysistrata."

In 1971, Saint Phalle and Tinguely married.

More and more successful clinical cases have shown that stem cells have good effects on immune regulation and tissue repair. Many patients with autoimmune diseases from all over the world choose to come to SQ1 medical center for stem cell therapy and had significant improvements.

 

The Beneficial Effects Of Stem Cell Therapy On Autoimmune Diseases

The advantage of stem cell therapy for autoimmune disease is that it can help repair and regenerate tissues that were damaged during the autoimmune attacks, including damaged nerves, skin, blood vessels, organs, etc. At the same time, stem cells can regulate the immune system so that it stops attacking the body. Scientific studies have shown that stem cells can minimize the pathological effects of the immune system self-attacks, thereby avoiding autoimmunity, while maintaining the body’s ability to defend agist foreign substances and real pathogens.

 

Stem cell therapy helps:

Prevent disability and improve patients’ quality of life

 

Inhibit the formation of auto-immune antibodies

 

Alleviate the fibrosis process of damaged organs

 

Helps restore the normal function of damaged organs

 

Normalize immune system function

 

Reduce or eliminate inflammation

 

Alleviate joint pain

 

Reduce medication dosage

 

Reduce recurrence rate

 

Autoimmune Diseases That Stem Cell Therapy Can Treat

 

Lupus erythematosus: including cutaneous and systemic lupus erythematosus

 

Rheumatoid arthritis

 

Sjogren’s syndrome

 

Vasculitis

 

Dermatomyositis

 

Psoriasis

 

Ankylosing spondylitis

 

Ulcerative colitis

 

Hyperthyroidism

 

Crohn's disease

 

Scleroderma

 

Autoimmune thyroiditis

 

Studies have found that stem cells have immunoregulatory functions on various immune cells in the body. According to the follow-ups of our patients, over 76% of the patients had significant relief of symptoms within one year after receiving treatment, and the recurrence rate was significantly reduced. Stem cell therapy has become a wise choice for patients with autoimmune diseases.

 

Learn More About Autoimmune Diseases

 

Autoimmune diseases are diseases in which the body’s immune system malfunctions and causes the body to attack its normal tissues. The immune system is the security system of the human body. Through the immune surveillance mechanism, it always watches over for any pathogen invasion or cell mutations throughout the body. Once an abnormality is found, the corresponding immune response program will be activated to eliminate and remove pathogens or diseased cells.

If the patient’s immune system is over-activated under the combination of genetic defects and predisposing factors, it may mistakenly attack its normal tissues and cells, resulting in organ and tissue damage in the body that leads to autoimmune diseases. Up till now, about 7.6-9.4% of the world’s population suffer from various types of autoimmune diseases. Generally, it is difficult to cure it after the onset of the disease. Most patients need long-term or even life-long medication.

 

Risk Factors For Autoimmune Diseases

 

FactorFactor Description

Family inheritanceIf there are confirmed autoimmune patients with family members, the risk of the disease will increase significantly, such as rheumatoid arthritis, Idiopathic Inflammatory myopathy.

During embryonic development, due to gene mutation, the related immune regulatory system became malfunctions. Genetic mutations lead to susceptible genotypes that will increase the risk of developing autoimmune diseases in patients.

Congenital heart defectCongenital vascular structural defects. these defects could lead to local vascular stenosis.

Autoimmune disease: Malfunction of the immune system, which will attach and damage own tissues and organs.

Infection or disease factorsInfections of various bacteria, fungi, parasites, and viruses, such as streptococcus or Epstein-Barr virus

Abnormal fluctuations of hormone levels in the body

Drugs or other toxic substancesToxic side effects are caused by drug intake, such as antibiotics.

Exposure to certain toxic substances: Such as chemical ingredients, organic solvents, etc.

Lifestyle factorsLong-term smoking (including cigars and pipes) and alcoholism

Long-term sun or UV exposure

Residence in areas with severe air pollution

Long-term exposure to intensive pressure or severe mental stimulation

 

Clinical Symptoms Of Autoimmune Diseases

 

Autoimmune diseases are mainly caused by the dysfunction of the autoimmune system and attack to own tissues and organs. The clinical manifestation of different types of patients are complicated and overlap with each other. However, due to individual differences in the specific damage site and severity, they will present different clinical characteristics.

 

DiseaseCommon Symptoms

Joint bonesPersistent, polyarthritis of the affected joints

Pain, stiffness, swelling, and limited mobility in joints and bones

Stiffness in and around the joints after waking up in the morning called "morning stiffness “

Severe damage to articular cartilage and bone in severely affected patients, leading to joint deformity and loss of function, and ultimately disability

Skin and mucous membranesObvious rash and erythema on the skin, and may aggravate after exposure to light

Mucosal ulceration may occur in some patients, which recurs even if it could heal spontaneously

Dry mouth and eyes

Long-term and repeated skin damage may cause scarring and sclerosis of the skin tissue

Abnormal sensations on the skin surface (such as touch, temperature, etc.), unable to accurately perceive external stimuli and changes

Muscle and soft tissueMuscles and soft tissues are damaged by chronic inflammation, causing redness, pain, and weakness

As the disease progresses, the muscles and soft tissues could be severely damaged, which can lead to muscle wasting and joint deformation.

The central neural system cannot effectively control the movement of muscles in the affected area, especially difficult to perform fine movements.

Patients may also have systemic multiorgan structuralWeakness, fatigue, fever

Anemia, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia

Gastrointestinal discomfort, loss of appetite, and severe cases may be accompanied by vomiting and diarrhea

Kidney damage can lead to proteinuria

Brain damage can cause cognitive deficits, seizures, or abnormal behaviors

 

Advantages Of Stem Cell Treatment For Autoimmune Diseases

 

At present, the clinical treatment of autoimmune disease is mainly with drug therapy, including glucocorticoids and various immunosuppressive agents. Drug therapy can only control the progression of the disease to a certain extent but cannot completely cure the disease. The immunosuppressive agents inhibit all the immune functions of the side effects and toxicity is relatively intensive.

 

Compared with conventional therapy, stem cell therapy has unique advantages:

  

Stem cell therapy

Conventional treatment

Curative Treatment or diseases management

Stem cell therapy is a new treatment for autoimmune diseases that aims to help restore normal function of the immune system by modulating immune system response and repairing/regenerating damaged cells and tissues in the body.

 

If you receive stem cell therapy at an early stage, it can reverse body damage caused by the immune response, thus reducing recurrence rates, freeing you from drug dependence, and even avoiding surgery.

The primary choice for autoimmune diseases is drug therapy. The main purpose of treatment is to inhibit the immune response and suppress inflammation in the body. Autoimmune diseases cannot be completely cured, and the recurrence rate is high.

Dosage

When stem cells are infused back into the body, they can regulate the immune system back to normal functionality, significantly reduce the recurrence rate, and decrease the drug dosage needed. If the therapy is conducted at an early stage of the disease, it can completely reverse the drug dependence.

 

Stem cell experts based on your current level of disease and other comorbidities will design a customized protocol and decide, the number of stem cells, source of stem cells, and cycles of stem cell therapy.

If you choose drug therapy, you will find the dose of the drug increase slowly and gradually, and you will gradually develop resistance and require larger dosages or more powerful drugs.

Side-effects

No Side-effects as stem cells are our cells that are used to treat the disease and regenerate lung tissue to regain proper functioning.

Drugs may have side effects on the body, such as chest tightness, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, adverse skin reactions, and rapid decline in immune function. The side effects are tremendous.

Convenience

Stem cell therapy is performed by stem cell specialists which requires a special laboratory to process the stem cells and the medical set-up to extract and inject the stem cell.

 

The therapy is going to be injection-based and needs to be performed in a hospital.

It’s relatively easy to take medications, but the patient needs to take them repeatedly every day, which is prone to the development of drug dependence.

Longevity

If treated in the early stage, in the long run, stem cell therapy can eliminate drug dependence, restore normal immune system functions, and return the patient to a healthy life. After the functional recovery of the immune system, the patients can eliminate the drug dependence and significantly reduce the recurrence rate. This is a long-term effect.

 

If conducted at a later stage, stem cell therapy can still reduce drug dosage, and in rare cases, you might need several treatment regimens.

The effect of drug therapy is short-term, and patients need to take medications daily, once stopped, the symptoms will resume or even worsen. You need to take medications for the whole lifetime.

End-stage

Stem cells are a fundamental part of our body, and the main function of stem cells is to regulate the immune system and repair/regenerate damaged cells and help you avoid surgery.

If your symptoms are severe, surgery may be necessary, but surgery only helps to remove necrotic tissue but help little to heal the disease, your disease condition remains and continue to damage your body.

 

How Can Stem Cell Therapy For Autoimmune Diseases Work

 

Immunomodulatory mechanisms: Stem cells suppress autoimmune responses and regulate immune balance by directly engaging immune cells and secreting a variety of immunoregulatory factors, therefore preventing the progression of autoimmune diseases.

 

Multidirectional differentiation potential: Stem cells can migrate directionally into damaged tissues and differentiate into functional cells of the corresponding tissue through the induction of tissue microenvironment, integrate with in situ cells of damaged tissues, and repair or rebuild the structure and function of damaged tissues.

 

Promote angiogenesis: After infusion of stem cells to the patients with damaged heart, liver, kidney, brain, and lung, capillary regeneration can be found by angiography, indicating that stem cells can promote the regeneration of blood vessels in damaged tissue and improve blood circulation.

 

Antioxidative stress: After the stem cells were infused into the body, the content of superoxide dismutase in the blood increased, and the apoptotic cells in the heart, liver, and kidney tissues decreased. This result confirmed that stem cells have anti-oxidative stress and anti-apoptotic effects.

By Robert "Bob" Frapples

 

'Parade' the Broadway Musical (1998) by Jason Robert Brown and Alfred Uhry, uses a raped teenage girl who was strangled to death as a cheap plot device to humanize and rehabilitate a sexual predator and convicted child-killer because of his ethnoreligion: Judaism.

 

On Confederate Memorial Day, Saturday, April 26, 1913, inside a dingy shuttered factory at the heart of Atlanta’s industrial sector, an infatuated serial rapist-pedophile, sexually assaulted one of his teenage employees. The victim had rejected her boss's flirtatious innuendos and finally an outright indecent sexual proposition and proposal for the last time. In 1913, there was no word for sexual harassment, sex offender, sexual predator or pedophile, other than some of the commonly used terms such as *degenerate libertine*, lustful, *lecherous*, rake, *satyr* and *lascivious*.

 

Back Story:

 

13-year-old child laborer, Little Mary Phagan (Born June 1, 1899), had been laid off because the brass sheet metal had fully depleted on Monday morning, April 21, 1913, thus without this essential production material, there could be no brass bands created to be attached at the ends of pencils, and therefore Phagan couldn't use the knurling machine at her work station to insert rubber erasers into them.

 

Mary and four other girls had been temporarily laid off from the Metal Room, located on the second floor of the National Pencil Company. One of those girls was named Monteen Stover, who is represented as Iola Stover in this theatrical play.

 

Little Miss Monteen Stover:

 

"Iola Stover" who worked on the 4th floor of the National Pencil Company inc., while Mary’s job at the back of the 2nd floor was a business critical dependency in the factory’s manufacturing operations, because adding erasers into the base of pencils was the last production stage, before they were placed as bunches in waxy tissue paper, packaged inside monogrammed boxes, loaded into crates, picked up by draymen (Negro deliverymen whipping on horse drawn flatbed carts) and later shipped off for distribution nationwide by train.

 

Leo Frank Created a Successful Business as its Superintendent:

 

During an average week, the National Pencil Company was grossing between $2500 and $5400, which was rather impressive by 1913 standards for a company born only five years prior. The NPCo factory's official founding date was: April 8th, 1908 (Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, April 8, 1908, see: www.Archive.org The Internet Archive).

 

Between Noon and 12:02 PM, Saturday, April 26, 1913:

 

At the National Pencil Company headquarters, located on 37-41 South Forsyth Street in downtown Atlanta, Georgia, Miss Phagan entered the anteroom of Leo Frank’s second floor window front office at just minutes after highnoon.

 

Standing in the door frame between the inneroom and anteroom, Little Mary Phagan said, “Mr. Frank?” and Leo’s lion-heart began thumping quickly as he recognized the voice and slowly gazed up from his papers, especially because now he was all alone with the very attractive child laborer who was dressed gaily in a handmade lavender dress trimmed with white lace, one whom he had a crush on for so long and she had blossomed far beyond her tender age.

 

The Paymaster James Milton Gantt

 

Leo had recently fired the 6’4” tall, strikingly handsome, James Milton Gantt, about two weeks earlier, because of an unaccounted $2 shortage in the petty cash payroll box. But it was nothing more than a ruse. Leo knew Mary was very much into James, as she looked up dreamy into his sky blue eyes, like he was her Knight in shining armor, and James looked after Mary as well and had known the Phagan family for years.

 

So the Superintendent got the prince out of the way, so the jealous dragon could play!

 

In comparison to the strapping farmboy Gantt, Leo was an ugly little man, snaggle-toothed with mossy gray stained teeth. Frank's feminine mouth was fearfully sensual, plump and succulent, donning freaky Obama-purplish Indonesian lips with Apsara contours and tinges of avocado hues. Leo Frank's lecherous eyeballs were hyperthyroid -- "Graves Disease" -- with bulging deep black dilated eyes, his left one out of orbit diagonal sideways to the 2 O'clock position, looking extra creepy, because they were magnified behind thick intensifying eye glasses designed for the myopic.

 

The Lecher

 

It was Mary Anne Phagan the one employee Leo was infatuated with and couldn’t have because of Gantt, she had spurned lecherous Leo’s obnoxious pesterings and flirtatious innuendos since the Spring of 1912, humiliating his arrogant and fragile ego, and making him ever more determined.

 

For an ambitious 29-year old Jewish White man like Leo Frank, who never liked taking "no" for an answer, now he would finally get even once and for all!

 

Frank said “Hello Mary” in a high pitched nebbish voice with a Brooklyn-Yiddish accent. Phagan immediately requested her reduced pay envelope of $1.20 and inquired if the ordered metal supplies had arrived yet. She was naturally concerned, because she came from a poverty stricken family with 4 other siblings and very much depended on the money -- curiously wanting to know: if whether or not, she should return to work on Monday morning, April 28, 1913 at 6:35 a.m.

 

The Death March to the Metal Room Trap:

 

Leo Frank said inquisitively, “No, I don’t know,” as he pushed back his wooden chair, whose legs screeched against the floor boards, he stood up briskly grooming his cloths, while walking together with little Mary Phagan into the machine room, located just down the hall, opposite from Frank’s office.

 

Leo and Mary made small talk about wondering if Mr. Darley had received the brass shipment in a timely manner, and stocked the closet next to the lady’s dressing room, where these supplies were normally stored -- located diagonal to the wall, where the lathe work station was situated in the metal room proper. The metalroom's closet, wasn't very far from the only set of toilets that existed on the second floor.

 

Although Leo Frank said “No, I don’t know”, in truth his requisition papers indicated otherwise. Leo's hand written business ledger indicated the brass shipment wasn't to be received until early in the following week. Saturday was Confederate Memorial Day, an important Georgia State holiday and no deliveries would be made because of the memorial parade. Outside the factory, the streets were brimming with festive revelers walking briskly to and fro, and despite the somber mood the holiday represented, there was excitement in the air under chilly overcast skies. The streets of Atlanta were teeming with White people on this state holiday.

 

Most Jewish-American accounts of the Mary Phagan murder case leave out the facts and details about what happened next…

 

After the 5’8” tall Leo Frank lured 4’11” tall Mary Phagan into the metal room on the pretext of determining whether or not she would need to report to work on Monday morning, April 28, 1913; upon “realizing” that the all important metal hadn't yet arrived, he used her temporary laid off status as a species of sexual coercion, but something went very wrong and took a violent turn.

 

Inside the metal room, Frank’s heart began to throb and he said to Phagan -- while he gently caressed her shoulder with his effeminate hand -- “Mary, If you still want to work here, I want you to be with me”. Phagan became grotesquely horrified and tried to swiftly pass by Frank on his left side and run out of the metal room, but he checked her like he was playing basketball for his class team at Cornell, as he had faithfully participated for four years (1902 - 1906) . Blocking her escape attempt and closing ranks, this time there was no where to run, and there was no where to hide. She was cornered and there would be no escape. Flustered, he seized her angrily with both hands this time, but Phagan jerked, yanking away and told him “I’m not that kind of girl, take your hands of me!”

 

At this point the incident had crossed the line and could no longer be played off as a joke, as it had always been in the past with so many other male & female child laborers, 19 girls would later come forward and testify, describing "Frank's character for lasciviousness as bad" (Leo Frank Trial Brief of Evidence, 1913).

 

It was then at that exact moment, when she spurned the ultimatum of her lecherous and bug-eyed superintendent for the last time, denying the desires of a boss who had earned himself a reputation amongst the child laborers at the factory: as a kind of fiendish pervert.

 

In the silence of the Storm, a great rumbling quivered through the floor boards of the second floor.

 

Terror Unfolded! In an explosion of rage, like a bucket of bricks falling out of the sky, Leo Frank tightly flexed his Anthony Weiner jaw, as the striated muscles in his face flexed and he clenched his left fist as the gold wedding band on his ring-finger tinkled in the dim silver light falling from the grimy factory windows, and then he pivoted, swiveling, pitching a fist curve ball into Mary Phagan’s right eye as she reeled back screaming in horror. In a precipitous storm of fury, his angry knuckles began hailing down in a flurry against her delicate feminine cheek-bones like a symphony of sledge hammers crushing rocks on the chain gang.

 

Jim Conley who was idly seated on a wooden crate at the factory's first floor lobby - right next to the staircase - while the assault was occurring upstairs in the metal room, eerily described to Atlanta Police weeks later, the sound of Phagan’s bone chilling echoing cry of mortified agony: As a stuttering laugh that broke off into a shriek and then absolute silence.

 

Leo Frank kept pounding Mary Phagan’s face in, blow after blow, while the back of her head slammed against the the lathe workstation belonging to the young machinist recently employed for 6 weeks, Robert P Barret, forensically leaving behind bloody tresses of her dark strawberry-blond hair tangled around its solid iron handle (that was shaped like an "L"). Why it was never cleaned up after the murder tends to sustain the bespectacled Leo Frank’s irrational state of mind and short-sightedness.

 

.....Phagan crumpled to the floor passing out at the feet of Leo Frank towering above, whose heart pounding chest was heaving breaths of stale air as he looked down upon her and slanted shadows.

 

Frank's face was flushed with blood and shivering with tantalizing sexual intensity as his wildly dilated eyes sparkled like black diamonds, and were devilishly exaggerated-out from underneath his thick lensed wirerim eyeglasses. Frank immediately dragged Phagan to the doorway of the men's toilet in the metal room, tossing her over on the grimy oil-dirt waxy wooden floor like a sack of potatoes.

 

Kneeling down, Frank then ripped off a 3 inch wide strip of Phagan’s petty coat, tearing upward at first from the hem midsagitally to her crotch and then turning across horizontally momentarily, followed by tearing down to the hem again, he put the bunched ruffled material made of cotton behind her head like a sponge, to soak up the slowly leaking blood from the lathe wound.

 

Next Frank frantically hiked up and pealed open her torn dress, spread her tender baby fat thighs, ripped open her knitted underwear across the vagina all the way to the right seam, unbuttoned his pants, pushed his underwear down, and hocked a thick disgusting loogey of coffee and tobacco phlegm into his left palm, right onto his wedding band, and moving the thick snot-like spittle around in circles with his thumb, before massaging it all around the tip of his rock-hard STD infected 4” erect penis.

 

Then the Vicious Psychopath Raped Mary Phagan.

 

Her innocence was torn away, bleeding. Phagan woke up in agonizing pain from unconsciousness, putting her arms and hands over her black and blue eyes, sobbing and crying out in pain repeatedly, “No, No, No”, with tears showering from her swollen face, trying to roll away was impossible.

 

In a moment of morbid fear and frightened clarity, Leo Frank was unable to ejaculate and felt humiliating shame, seeing his whole life pass before his own eyes in Phagans tear-drenched beaten purple face. Knowing his stellar reputation in the widely assimilated German Jewish community would be irreparably harmed if she told anyone about what happened; Knowing his wife from a culturally prominent Southern-Patrician Jewish family (whose maternal ancestor Levi Cohen, two generations prior founded the first synagogue in Atlanta) would surely seek divorce in the aftermath; And knowing his family in Brooklyn would without a shadow of a doubt be devastated by him for his unspeakable crime. In this moment of ghoulish horror, Leo Frank knew he would be forever disgraced if anyone found out, and that he would likely be living out his life break stones on the chain gang..... so there was no other way out, but to permanently silence Phagan, so she couldn't tell and that’s just exactly what he did.

 

Frank stood up quickly looking around the room, he pulled himself together hurriedly and grabbed a nearby 7 foot long jute cord hanging off a nail on the adjacent wall. With white knuckles flexing, he garroted Mary Phagan to death, burying the cord 1/8th inches deep into her tender throat, autopsy photo shows more than one attempt at strangling her to death, it concluded by leaving the sunken knot at the right side of Mary's neck. Frank stepped back looking upon what he had done as Phagan's unseeing cornflower-blue eyes stared hideously into the ceiling's dusty emptiness. Frank gasped, frozen in time and silence, breathless with frantically shifting black eyes, back and forth, to assess the situation.

 

Psychopathia Sexualis:

 

Leo Frank had just began creating a scene rightout of a chapter from the book, 'Psychopathia Sexualis', one that would continue to evolve in bizarre complexity. After some whatado thoughts, Leo called his 27-year-old Negro janitor, James "Jim" Conley, to help him remove the body from the metal room bathroom area, and dispose of the limp-lifeless body of the child into the basement, where it was intended to later be cremated in the factory's giant cellar furnace, so there would be no physical evidence of what really happened.

 

Leo Frank's Deliciously Conspiratorial Racist Anti-Black Sub Plot Unfolds:

 

However Conley refused the final step of stuffing Mary Phagan into the oversized basement furnace-incinerator without Leo's help and instead agreed to ghost-write death notes on behalf of Leo Frank, framing the newly hired Negro nightwatchman that nobody really knew, Newton "Newt" Lee of Afro-Caribbean descent. Newt Lee in his trademark faded blue overalls, was an old 50-something, honest, married, dark complected, balding, tall and slim man with no criminal record to speakof, who had spent most of his life as a lanky negro graveyard shift security guard, doing his rounds in the cold quiet darkness, shuffling his feet in slow motion across creaky wide-plank floorboards, with a sauntering smoky lantern in tow.

 

The Shocking Discovery in the Cellar, Sunday, April 27, 1913:

 

On Sunday morning, Newt Lee the graveyard shift nightwatchman — who the racist Leo Frank tried to frame for the murder — punched the time clock at 3:01 o'clock a.m. about Frank's office, as he was required to do every half hour, and then he went down to the basement to use the racially segregated "colored" toilet for "dropping the Cosbys off at the pool" and upon completing his "bidniss" (pooping), he was upset someone forgot to leave paper there and so he went squishy-and-all to check the backdoor leading out to a service ramp at the alley. It was the loading ramp, where product was picked up by a drayman (Man with a horse drawn carriage). It was there in the gloom at 3:20 o'clock a.m., he discovered the mauled body of an unknown little white girl -- who was later identified by Grace Hicks as Little Mary Anne Phagan -- she was dumped in the rear corner of the basement, where garbage was normally staged before being consumed in the cellar's massive furnace-incinerator that heated the building and provided hot water for the upper floors of the factory.

 

3:40 A.M.

 

When the police arrived, they followed Lee down the 14-foot ladder below into the 80 foot wide, 200 feet long, stygian, catacomb-like, stone-walled tunnel, and with primitive flashlights and dancing faceshadows, found tracks indicating Mary Phagan had been dragged face down 140 feet from the elevator shaft across the hard dirt cinders of the earthen basement floor, before being dumped diagonal to the incinerator, but astonishingly the deep pocks and scratches on her face didn’t show any signs of bleeding! This curious detail forensically suggested to the Coroner and undertaker that she might have already been quite dead before being taken to the basement. Physicians had known for centuries that when the heart stops beating, the bleeding-scabbing cascade in the healing process on the epidermis (skin) no longer occurs. It was a unfortunate detail the myopic murderer and his pet step-and-fetch-it -- who became an admitted accessory-after-the-fact -- had never anticipated.

 

Phagan’s underwear that was still attached around her hips, was soaked in dried blood and discharge. Her dress was moist from top to bottom in urine, suggesting that someone had pissed all over her entire body. Wrapped around her neck was the strip of her blood soaked petty coat, hiding what was ghoulishly underneath, the 7 foot jute cord cinched in a loop around her neck, snugly buried 1/8 inches deep into the throat. Phagan’s face was black and blue, and her tongue stuck out from her mouth through her teeth one inch. There were wounds on the side and back of her head, and wounds below both knees. The upper side of her shirt at the chest level had be torn open revealing her left breast. Her hair and entire front part of the body were caked with coal cinders, dirt and debris, presumably from being dragged by her ankles facedown across the hard earthen floor in the basement. Oddly, her arms were reverently crossed over her bosom. Her pocketbook made from German silver was missing and the red flowers attached to the front of her pale cobalt blue hat were missing. Her parasol was found at the bottom of the garbage strewn elevator shaft tray a few feet away and next to a no-longer-steaming coil of human excrement, later determined to have been laid by Jim the sweeper. Members of the Jewish community would make the asinine claim for more than a century that the feces in the elevator shaft is what exonerates Leo Frank, this BS theory (pun intended) is now commonly referred as the, 'Shit in the Shaft' (Oney, 2003).

 

Police tried all night long to contact the restlessly sleeping Leo Frank, but he didn’t answer the rattling box receiver, even though the telephone was located and ringing obnoxiously just under the wooden floor boards -- of his second floor bedroom -- in the dining room just right below. Finally the police were able to reach Leo Frank on the phone in the early morning hours of Sunday, April 27, 1913, letting him know they would be at his home shortly to speak with him.

 

When the police first arrived at the Frank-Selig residence at 68 east Georgia avenue, Lucille answered the door in a fluffy White turkish bathrobe. Leo stepped out from behind a curtain and was acting very nervous, struggling to put on his collar and tie. The half dressed Frank kept delaying leaving his home, complaining he hadn't had breakfast yet, asking repeatedly for a cup of coffee, but the police insisted he come with them immediately. Frank kept asking rapid fire questions to the police before they even had a chance to answer frustrating the police. Once inside the squad car, Leo Frank nervously claimed he didn’t know his employee Mary Phagan or any of the girls at the factory, and denied knowing Phagan’s name when he saw her mutilated corpse on a cooling table at P.J. Bloomfield’s mortuary.

 

When police and detectives took Frank to his second floor office at the Pencil factory, he opened his four foot tall safe, removed the payroll ledger, and told the accompanying officers he paid off Mary Phagan employee number 186 at about 12:03 p.m. on Saturday, April 26, 1913. The next day (Monday morning, April 28, 1913) in the presence of his elite lawyers (Luther Rosser and Herbert Haas), Leo Frank made a stenographed deposition to detectives and police at the Atlanta station-house that Mary Phagan came into his office between “12:05pm and 12:10pm, maybe 12:07pm” (State's Exhibit B, Leo Frank Trial Brief of Evidence, 1913).

 

What Leo Frank did not know at the time of the sadistic rape-murder was taking place at the men's toilet is that the 5'2" tall and 14-year-old Monteen Stover (Iola Stover), another little girl who had been laid off early in the week for the same reason as Mary — because the brass sheet metal had run out — was waiting inside his office all by her lonesome. According to Monteen "iola" Stover waited in Leo Frank’s business office from 12:05 pm to 12:10 pm based on his wall clock, hoping to collect her pay envelope, but she left after waiting for 5 full minutes, because she thought the building might have been deserted due to the state holiday.

 

For 3.5 months, Leo Frank swore to the murder alibi that he never left his office when Phagan arrived, until at 12:45 p.m., to go upstairs to the fourth floor, but then on the witness stand at his trial on Monday afternoon, August 18, 1913, he — Reversed himself — making a newfangled and never before heard, ineluctable admission to explain why Monteen Stover had found his office empty during the exact same time Leo Frank told the police Mary Phagan was with him in his office (State's Exhibit B, 1913).

 

Frank seated comfortably on the hard witness stand, said,

 

“NOW GENTLEMEN”, looked the jurors in their eyes and announced to a packed courtroom, that he might have gone to the bathroom in the metal room to use the toilet or urinate -- at that critical time -- and that those were things that a man does “unconsciously”. (He would re-assert this newfangled bathroom incriminating admission in a jailhouse interview published in the March 9, 1914 edition of the Atlanta Constitution, Read it: AC, March 9, 1914, @ www.archive.org The Internet Archive).

 

Exact Leo Frank Trial Quote

 

Now gentlemen [of the Jury], to the best of my recollection from the time the whistle blew for twelve o’clock [noon on Saturday, April 26, 1913] until after a quarter to one [12:46 p.m.] when I went up stairs and spoke to Arthur White and Harry Denham [at the rear of the fourth floor], to the best of my recollection, I did not stir out of the inner office [at the front of the second floor]; but it is possible that in order to answer a call of nature or to urinate I may have gone to the toilet [in the metal room at the rear of the second floor]. Those are things that a man does unconsciously and cannot tell how many times nor when he does it (Leo Frank Trial Statement, August 18, Brief of Evidence, 1913).

 

It was deliciously ironic for unbiased observers who simply wanted to arrive at the truth, but for Leo Frank detractors, it was the equivalent of an inescapable murder trial confession, because Frank had contradicted himself and entrapped himself beyond escape in the men's toilet of the metal room.

 

Leo Frank’s defenders would spend 100 years suppressing this testimony about an “unconscious” metalroom bathroom incident and claim that: all the best evidence at the trial and modern analysis, indicated that Jim Conley assaulted Phagan in factory lobby on the first floor, where there was no evidence found after the murder discovery, except for a senile octogenarian named Alonzo "Lonnie" Mann (August 8, 1898 - March 19, 1985) who was formerly Leo Frank’s office boy in 1913 for three weeks before Frank's arrest. In 1982, "Lonnie" came forward 69 years after the verdict, claiming he saw Conley carrying an unconscious Mary Phagan there toward the basement's trap door of a scuttle-hole, leading to the basement, suggesting the disposal of the victim was by the stairs, instead of the elevator as Conley stated, thus contradicting Conley at the trial, who had admitted carrying the corpse of Phagan to the basement for Leo Frank by elevator, so it added no new evidence other than only changing the path of disposal, and Mann lacked veracity, because he testified to leaving at 11:30 am in 1913, not 12:05 pm. However, The Racist Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith and powerful Jewish groups of American-Israeli Jewry used this questionable evidence to secure a posthumous pardon for Leo Frank on a technicality that the State of Georgia failed to protect the inmate at the Milledgeville penitentiary, but the pardon was *without exoneration for the crime* -- an important detail usually left out in almost every retelling of the Leo Frank Case.

 

The Prosecution's Theory: The Metal Room.

 

The “unconscious” toilet revelation by Leo Frank was an earth shattering retort on the witness stand to Monteen Stover, because earlier in the trial, his accomplice-after-the-fact, Jim Conley, said he found Mary Phagan dead in the bathroom area of the metal room after Leo Frank's alleged admission, that he confessed to Jim about accidentally murdering her there because she wouldn’t have sex with him. Employee witnesses for the defense and prosecution had already testified to finding a 5 inch dried blood puddle diagonal to the bathroom door in the metal room and about a lock of Phagans bloody hair tangled around the solid metal handle of the bench lathe in the same room known officially as the metal department and colloquially as the metal room.

 

Had you been sitting in the Jury box or behind the judge's Rostrum on August 18, 1913, listening to Leo Frank’s explanation for why his office might have been empty, when he claimed to the police he was there alone with Mary Phagan at that exact same time, you would have involuntarily shivered as cold chills spilled down your spine, but for more than 100 years, the Jewish community has waged an anti-Gentile racist defamation campaign against Southern European-Americans and African-Americans, claiming they framed Leo Frank, indicted and convicted him for racist hate because he was Jewish and 2 years later strangled him in revenge by lynching him solely because he was Jewish, not because he had pounded in the face of a little girl, before raping and strangling her in a scenario right out of the book "Psychopathia Sexualis".

 

The racist anti-Gentile narrative that anti-Semitism was behind it all, has been perpetuated in the mainstream media now for more than 100 years and has become the orthodox popular culture, but is the tide changing?

 

The Leo Frank Case has evolved into the longest running anti-Semitic Hate crime hoax and anti-Gentile blood libel slander in the history of the United States of America.

 

The conviction of Leo Frank galvanized the formation of the Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith in October, 1913, after the 500 member strong Atlanta B’nai B’rith voted unanimously, as reported on September 24th, 1913 (Atlanta Constitution), to re-elect their “wrongfully” imprisoned President Leo Frank to a second term as their beloved leader. Leo Frank ran the affairs of his B’nai B’rith chapter behind bars until September of 1914, when he was not re-elected again for a third term and his appeals were falling apart because of the criminal activity involved with bribing and coercing witnesses by the Governor John M. Slaton (Georgia Supreme Court Records, 1913, 1914).

 

Leonard Dinnerstein for more than 50 years, Abraham Foxman (Op Ed, August 18, 2005) and the ADL (adl.org) have been at the forefront of perpetuating the hate crime hoax that people were shouting and chanting “hang the Jew” and “Kill the Jew” outside the Leo Frank trial courtroom that had all of its windows wide open during the proceedings, because of the hot summer days from July 28, to August 25, 1913. This is a viciously racist anti-Gentile Lie perpetuated on the ADL website, and by Abraham Foxman, Leonard Dinnerstein, and many other hatefilled domestic extremists, spreading bigoted racially tinged smears against European-American Southerners.

 

Why anyone would transform a sadistic pedophile and convicted child killer into a martyr of anti-Semitism is incomprehensible, but Jason Robert Brown and Alfred Uhry have made millions of dollars with their musical 'Parade' performing literally internationally, falsifying the official records of the Leo Frank Trial and humanizing a violent child molester who would be a registered sex offender today and incarcerated for life.

 

A dead little raped teenage girl is used as a cheap plot device to wage a vicious culture war against Southerners. Many people are asking: Are these the treacherous people we want determining our popular culture? Are these the people we want determining the theatre curriculum in our public schools and colleges?

 

Jews calling the Leo Frank Case an American Dreyfus Affair for more than a century is more than unconscionable chutzpah, its an act of an insolent culture war. The Leo Frank trial is being used as a morality tale for the purpose of shaming and deracinating European-Americans into denying their tradition of ethnic solidarity and wrongfully making Americans think they destroyed an innocent and noble man because he was Jewish. This is the old mask of anti-Gentile defamation that began in 1913, with a turn of the the 21st century face lift.

 

If you have even any doubts about Leo Frank’s innocence or guilt, then listen to the silent echo in time and space from the spirit of Lucille Selig Frank (February 29, 1888 - April 23, 1957).

 

If you ever get a chance, go to the Mount Carmel Cemetery in Queens, New York City, visit Leo Frank’s grave, and look to the left of it and stare, that empty grave was reserved for Lucille Selig, ask yourself why is it still empty in 2013? If you have doubts that grave is still empty, go to the cemetery front office at the gate entry and ask them if it is indeed empty or not, because they will tell you it is absolutely. You can actually write an official letter to the cemetery requesting information about the Frank-Stern family grave site (purchased in 1911) and they will respond on official letterhead, if you want more than just verbal proof, but physical documentation about the emptiness of grave plot #1 located left of grave plot #2 where Leo Frank is interred. In the early 1990's Steve Oney discovered that Lucille was cremated (also documented in her will, 1954), instead of buried or ashes dispersed next to her beloved Leo, and she told her family she wanted her ashes dispersed in an Atlanta park, which is about 900 miles away from her husband and the empty grave left of him from the observer.

 

You would think after reading all the insistent, shrill denials in mass media for the last 100 years; newspaper and magazine articles, books, made-for-TV movies, miniseries and docudramas– including heart-tugging plays (Knights of Mary Phagan by Jesse Waldinger) and even a stage musical (Parade) in New York that spread internationally like wildfire – that suggest Lucille’s love for her husband Leo Frank was eternal and lasted till the day she passed away and beyond her death. So, once again, why did she specifically not want to be buried next to Leo Frank?

 

Finally, why were Lucille’s ashes not spread or buried next to Leo Frank?

 

Because Lucille was no feather brained step-ford wife when all is said and done. If she really loved Leo Frank eternally, beyond the dog and pony show of appearances, she would have been buried in the empty grave next to him that was reserved for her at the Mount Carmel Cemetery or atleast her ashes spread there, but she left her own verdict on the Leo Frank trial from the passing of her life, and the silence speaks deafening volumes when she died long ago on April 23, 1957 of a heart disease (broken heart), just 3 short days before the 44th anniversary of the Mary Phagan murder.

 

If you want to learn what really happened at the Leo Frank trial, visit The American Mercury on the Internet and read their August and September, October, November and December 2013, Leo Frank Case reports, they are publishing a superb multi-part series on the centennial of the Leo Frank trial. It’s chock full of images and thoughtful analysis, you would never get from other sources, who erroneously and willfully go out of their way to distort what happened in the Fulton County court house 100 years ago (July 28, 1913 - August 26, 1913).

 

The Jewish Daily Forward www.Forward.com and Abraham Foxman www.ADL.org are foaming at the mouth about the American Mercury and Leo Frank Research Library, because 100 years of lies that have aggressively been pushed into the popular mainstream culture are disintegrating, one by one. Some members of the Jewish community never dreamed the 1,800 page Leo Frank Georgia Supreme Court archives would end up being published online at the centennial of the Mary Phagan murder, April 26, 2013, available for the whole world to read (archive.org), but now there is no escape from the disturbing truth within these official records.

 

100 Years of Censorship Coming to an End

 

Soon the world is going to find out about another child laborer Leo Frank sadistically defiled, one year before Mary Phagan was raped and killed. After the Leo Frank trial ended another little girl came forward with descriptions of a harrowing incident… In 1912, Leo Frank raped another one of his child employees, and when he was done ravaging her, he slithered down between her legs and bit her so hard on the inner thy adjacent to the vagina, that he permanently scarified her, but this didn’t come out until Leo Frank's appeals, because the girl had gotten pregnant and shipped off to a home for unwed mothers! This is the sadistic pedophile who has been used as a seditious bludgeon for a century to attack, defame, smear, slander, blood libel, and hate hoax Gentile Americans! This is the man being held up as a holy religious martyr of anti-Semitism. This is the girl whose virgin blood and strangled corpse gave birth to the financially and politically powerful ADL, the racist anti-Gentile hate group masquerading as a civil rights organization, always honoring Leo Frank as heroic and whose trial is a reminder that "not too long ago anti-Semitism, not the facts, convicted an innocent man" (ADL.org).

 

Fight for Mary Phagan's Honor

 

We Will Never Forget Mary Phagan and we will never stop fighting for her honor until our very last dying breath. We will never stop fighting against the century old culture defamation war waged by the Jewish community, Jewish Groups like anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith (ADL), Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), and many individual Jews against the South, Southerners, European-Americans, African-Americans, Christians and for that matter their ugly culture war all of Western Civilization. Fight back against the Jewish lies. Post this article everywhere. We Generation X'ers and Millennials and future generations WANT OUR HISTORY BACK!!

Simon weighs 18lbs 15oz!! I had no idea he weighed that much. Simon and Meelee went to the vet tonight for check-ups. Meelee weighs only 7.39lbs and probably has hyperthyroidism. We'll get blood results on Friday for both of them.

 

Simon is on a diet.

An imbalance in production of hormones by Thyroid gland can cause multiple complications, some of them severely limiting. Understanding symptoms is the first step towards diagnosis and treatment.

The main component of CT/X-ray Contrast Media is iodine. The Iodinated Contrast Media is a colorless, transparent, slightly viscous liquid. At present, the CT contrast agents can be mainly divided into ionic and non-ionic, according to the osmotic pressure can be divided into hypertonic, isotonic and hypotonic. Currently, non-ionic, isotonic or hypotonic Contrast Media are used clinically. When the CT contrast medium is injected, 97% of the contrast media can be directly excreted from the kidneys within 1 day.

 

Reasonable Use of Iodinated Contrast Agents

Evaluate patient benefits/risks before use

 

History of allergies: Patients who have previously experienced moderate to severe anaphylactoid reactions to iodinated contrast agents or patients with a history of allergies requiring treatment are at an increased risk of having an allergic reaction to CT dye.

 

Kidney function: iodinated contrast agents can cause acute kidney injury, and patients should be evaluated for related risks before the surgery.

 

Combination medication: drugs that may increase the risk of adverse reactions to iodinated contrast agents: neuroleptics and antidepressants, interleukin-2, beta-blockers, metformin.

 

Situations where iodinated contrast agents should be used with caution: lung and heart diseases, catecholamine secreting tumours, pregnant and lactating women, myeloma and macroglobulinemia, myasthenia gravis, homocystinuria.

 

Contraindication: uncured patients with hyperthyroidism.

  

Dose limit for iodinated contrast agents

 

On the premise of satisfying imaging/diagnosis, the minimum dose of iodinated contrast agents should be used.

 

For low-risk patients, the total dose of types of contrast agents had better be controlled within 300 ~ 400 ml.

 

Maximum dose of iodinated radiocontrast dye

 

Method I *: 5 ml × body weight (kg)/serum creatinine (mg/dl) (not more than 300 ml) [refer to Cigarroa calculation formula]

 

Method II: 3.7 times creatinine clearance [according to 2011 ACCF/AHAUA/NSTEMI Treatment Guidelines]

 

For those with severe renal insufficiency, try to choose an imaging method that does not require iodine-based contrast agents or a non-imaging method that can provide sufficient diagnostic information.

 

Avoid repeated use of the diagnostic dose of an iodinated contrast agent in a short period of time. If repeated use is indeed necessary, it is recommended that the interval between two MRI contrast agent applications be ≥14 days.

 

Other precautions for the use of iodinated contrast agents

 

Preheating: Before using an iodinated contrast agent, it is recommended to heat the contrast agent to 37 °C and place it in a thermostat.

 

Hydration: It is recommended to hydrate patients within 6 to 12 hours before using an iodinated contrast agent to within 24 hours after use. Hydration method: Intra-arterial drug users are advised to receive intravenous rehydration and oral rehydration concomitantly, and oral rehydration is recommended for intravenous drug users.

 

Stay and observation: After the injection of the iodine-based contrast media, the patient needs to stay and be observed for 30 minutes before leaving the examination room.

 

Establish an emergency channel: Establish an emergency rapid support mechanism for the rescue of adverse reactions caused by iodinated contrast agents with the emergency room or other clinical related departments to ensure that after an adverse reaction occurs, clinicians can promptly rush to the rescue scene for rescue if necessary.

 

Prevention and Management of Vascular Extravasation of Iodinated Contrast Agents

Prevention

 

Choose appropriate blood vessels for venipuncture and operate carefully; when using a high-pressure syringe, choose a puncture needle and catheter that match the injection flow rate; properly fix the puncture needle; communicate with the patient and get cooperation.

 

Management

 

Mild extravasation: Most injuries are minor and need no treatment. However, the patient should be instructed to keep observing. If the extravasation worsens, the patient should seek medical attention in time. For individuals with significant pain, common cold and hydropathic compresses can be given locally.

 

Moderate and severe extravasation: ① raise the affected limb to promote blood return. ② Use 50% magnesium sulfate moisturizing cold compress in the beginning, and after 24-hours change to magnesium sulfate moisturizing hot compress, or use mucopolysaccharide ointment for topical application, or use 0.05% dexamethasone for local hydropathic compress. ③ Those with severe contrast agent extravasation should be given oral dexamethasone 5 mg/time tid for 3 consecutive days on the basis of topical drug use. ④ If necessary, consult a clinician for medication.

Edible Parts: Flowers, Leaves, Root,

Edible Uses: Coffee, Tea, Salad, Potherb, Vegetable,

 

Leaves - raw or cooked. When used in salads, they are rather bitter, though less so in the winter. Tender young leaves are considerably less bitter than older leaves. The leaves are often blanched (by excluding light from the growing plant) before use. This will make them less bitter, but they will also contain less vitamins and minerals. A very nutritious food, 100g of the raw leaves contain about 2.7g. protein, 9.2g. carbohydrate, 187mg Calcium, 66mg phosphorus, 3.1mg iron, 76mg sodium, 397mg potassium, 36mg magnesium, 14000iu vitamin A, 0.19mg vitamin B1, 0.26mg vitamin B2, 35mg vitamin C. Root - raw or cooked. Bitter. A turnip-like flavor. Flowers - raw or cooked. A rather bitter flavor, the unopened flower buds can be used in fritters and they can also be preserved in vinegar and used like capers. Both the leaves and the roots are used to flavor herbal beers and soft drinks such as 'Dandelion and Burdock'. The roots of 2 year old plants are harvested in the autumn, dried and roasted to make a very good coffee substitute. It is caffeine-free. A pleasant tea is made from the flowers. They are also used to make wine - all green parts should be removed when making wine to prevent a bitter flavor. The leaves and the roots can also be used to make tea.

 

CAUTION: Can cause irritation in high concentrates. Avoid during pregnancy. Care if sensitive skin .

 

MEDICINAL USES: Antianxiety, Antibacterial, Antidepressant, Antiemetic, Antispasmodic, Antiviral, Aromatherapy, Carminative, Diaphoretic, Digestive, Emmenagogue, Febrifuge, Sedative, Tonic,

 

Lemon balm is a commonly grown household remedy with a long tradition as a tonic remedy that raises the spirits and lifts the heart. Modern research has shown that it can help significantly in the treatment of cold sores. The leaves and young flowering shoots are antibacterial, antispasmodic, antiviral, carminative, diaphoretic, digestive, emmenagogue, febrifuge, sedative, and tonic. It also acts to inhibit thyroid activity. An infusion of the leaves is used in the treatment of fevers and colds, indigestion associated with nervous tension, excitability and digestive upsets in children, hyperthyroidism, depression, mild insomnia, headaches etc.. Externally, it is used to treat herpes, sores, gout, insect bites and as an insect repellent. The plant can be used fresh or dried, for drying it is harvested just before or just after flowering. The essential oil contains citral and citronella, which act to calm the central nervous system and are strongly antispasmodic. The plant also contains polyphenols, in particular these combat the herpes simplex virus which produces cold sores. The essential oil is used in aromatherapy. Its keyword is 'Female aspects'. It is used to relax and rejuvenate, especially in cases of depression and nervous tension. The German Commission E Monographs, a therapeutic guide to herbal medicine, approve Melissa officinalis for nervousness and insomnia.

 

OTHER USES: Essential, Potpourri, Repellent

 

The growing plant is said to repel flies and ants. It is also rubbed on the skin as a repellent, though the essential oil would be more effective here. An essential oil is obtained from the plant (the exact part is not specified, it is probably the entire plant and especially the flowering stems). It is used medicinally. The whole plant is very pleasantly aromatic, the aroma lasting for a long time after the plant has been harvested. It is therefore a very useful ingredient in potpourri.

Annie is our little pensioner. She is 18 years old and is very healthy. About three years ago, we saved her life by taking her to the animal hospital at the Univ. of Saskatchewan (we live in Manitoba). She had "hyperthyroidism", a senior cat disease, which meant her heart would eventually fail. She was unable to walk and was in great pain. The treatment was a nuclear medicine procedure - she was given one shot of radioactive iodine. This erradicated any tumors in her throat and chest wall. She endured the haz-mat team taking care of her for 10 days, then we brought her home. She didn't make a fuss at any time, she was a model patient. She was "glowing" for a week or so, and then slowly recovered her health completely. An operation or "pilling" her three times a day would have ruined her quality of life. We are so blessed we made the right decision. Annie does not typically pose for me. Today was an exception.

Both the leaves and the roots are used to flavor herbal beers and soft drinks such as 'Dandelion and Burdock'. The roots of 2 year old plants are harvested in the autumn, dried and roasted to make a very good coffee substitute. It is caffeine-free. A pleasant tea is made from the flowers. They are also used to make wine - all green parts should be removed when making wine to prevent a bitter flavor. The leaves and the roots can also be used to make tea.

The growing plant is said to repel flies and ants. It is also rubbed on the skin as a repellent, though the essential oil would be more effective here. An essential oil is obtained from the plant (the exact part is not specified, it is probably the entire plant and especially the flowering stems). It is used medicinally. The whole plant is very pleasantly aromatic, the aroma lasting for a long time after the plant has been harvested. It is therefore a very useful ingredient in potpourri.

My Baby had her checkup and blood work this evening.....she has a number

of problems that old cats tend to get.....the vet also heard some strange noise

in her breathing, and her little heart is beating too fast. The main problem is her

severe weight loss....she is only 5.3 pounds now:( She is eating very well, but

almost always hungry. She eats a full can of Natural Balance LID food, and has

a bowl of dry NB out all day to snack on.At least the vet (who was a very kind lady)

said she was well hydrated and her kidneys seem good. She thinks her symptoms

are pointing to hyperthyroidism.....which is what I suspected. At least she does not

think it is diabetes, which was one of my fears, or kidney disease. If it is her thyroid

then at least I can give her pills to help. My Mom has had a lot of experience with this condition

with her cats also. I don't get the test results until tomorrow at the soonest....I just pray

she is going to be OK. I felt so bad when they had to take her away from me when

they had to do the blood draw. She had the saddest expression in her eyes as she looked

at me when she was being carried away:(Before they took her started to cry, and gave her

a kiss, and told her I love her, and that she would be OK. I can't imagine my life without

her....she is a huge part of me......I have to try and stay strong for her. I will give a update

here when I get the results....thank you.....especially all of my cherished contacts and friends

on Flickr....for your concern. It means a great deal to me:)

 

9 Oct 2020 Theo the Rex guinea pig was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. He had Thyronom as oral medication but the rate didn’t go down. It went fr 70 to 91 when tested again in Dec.

 

4 Jan he had surgery to remove overactive thyroid. He woke up after and had food. But next morning I received call at 930, he had seizures and been subdued. He suffered low calcium, and blood test showed he had low glucose. Theo’s body didn’t cope well after surgery. 5 Jan 2020 received call fr vet Roxanne at 1:09pm. Theodore passed away in the early afternoon.

 

We got Theo from a breeder when he was about a month old, assumed he was born 1 March 2016.

My 15 year old girl having a little outside time--under supervision. She's been having a tough time lately battling hyperthyroidism, UTI, irritable bowl and not liking the medications for all. She seemed a bit better today and was quite active.

Nikki wants to say hi, and to thank her friends for all the prayers

and support over the past week. She was full of herself today,

and I got some interesting shots of her:) Tomorrow will be a

full week of her being on the pills for her hyperthyroidism...which

she was diagnosed with last week. She has to take 2 pills a day....

every 12 hrs. Since I got her some moist kitty treats to hide the pills

in ,she looks forward to 7:45 am and & 7:45 pm when she gets her

"Pounce". They are really not actual Pounce, but a soft treat made

by Purina....but she used to get Pounce years ago, so she is familiar

with the name.We always call her Natural Balance canned food "tuna"

In this shot he is waving when I asked her to:)

 

Spike Mulligan is a 12 year old DSH tabby and white kitty. Spike Mulligan is a very affectionate and cute little guy. He is very personable, and spends most of his day in the reception room here at Tree House. He gets along with the other cats. He has recently been diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism. He takes a daily pill. He is very easy to pill!

ADOPTED!!!

Snickerdoodle spent six months in a local shelter, passed over repeatedly because he is hyperthyroid and a senior.

Should get the results of today's blood work tomorrow. We will then know if Rusty is a candidate for THE cure.

 

From the website of North West Nuclear Medicine For Animals.

 

"THE CURE FOR FELINE HYPERTHYROIDISM

 

While fatal if left untreated, hyperthyroidism can now be safely and effectively cured with radioiodine (1:131) treatment. The radioiodine is given in a single injection under the skin, just behind the shoulder blades, on the day your cat is admitted. That's all it takes!".

 

It takes deep pockets too but it's the only CURE. Will keep you posted.

 

These two photos just slay me. She is so darn cute and such a good girl.

How To Say No With Grace, And Yes With Power And Increase With This Your Personal Integrity

 

People think that saying yes all of the time is actually either very spiritual or that they are being very kind. Yes, we will go to that wedding. Yes, we will go to there. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Yesser people that never say no, I don’t trust them.

 

Don’t trust someone that continuously say yes to you to everything because hiddenly and secretly they are holding grudges of why they keep saying yes. They are hidden in their homes. They are complaining, oh, I am so tired that we had to do all of this all over again and go to this place and go to this party and go to this.

 

There is no one to blame. This all falls responsibility on yourself because you did not say no. You were not honest to say no when you meant it, and yes when you mean it.

 

So to say no is actually one of the most powerful things you can teach if you are a parent to your children, and if you are an entrepreneur or a leader, it’s one of the most powerful things you can do as a leader because you are modeling to others how to say no to difficult situations, to entanglements, to business relationships that you knew, your gut told you, say no. But you wanted to be nice. You wanted to be approved. You wanted to appear that, okay, let’s give it a try. And then what happens? You lose all of your money! And that is a ridiculous thing and a very high price to pay just because you didn’t have the courage to say no.

 

Because we were raised why--how? We couldn’t say no, right? You had to say yes. You had to be obedient. Thinking was like a far away aspect of you because if you dared to think differently, some of us were, you know, were raised with, like, the belt. Thank God that that’s changing in humanity right now because violence is not the way, but that was the way of our ancestors, you know, the belt. You say no, well, you always have to say yes. There’s no way that you will say no because why? Because I am your mother or because I am your father.

 

You carry that on. I don’t care if you are 80 years old or you are Donald Trump. And if you’re Donald Trump, you’ll say a very honest no. I’ve seen you. But you’ve got to say no with grace, and this is how it looks like.

 

Mom calls and says, honey, I want you to come to--we have your aunts coming from Wisconsin, and we want you to come visit, and you live far away, and you’ve got to get two planes to get to Mom. And you really don’t want to do it. You don’t feel like doing it, so this is how you say no with grace. Mom, thank you and no. And you stay there.

 

And people, when I teach them, they’re like, that’s it? What’s the--what’s--If you give a story, an excuse, an explanation, in that moment your no works nothing. This is why it is so important to stay in your no to increase your personal integrity.

 

Increasing our personal integrity will bring you not only the best of people in life, will not only create the best role modeling for your children, but imagine if you’re a dad of a young little girl, and your girl never hears you say no, or your wife is never allowed to say no. Guess what’s going to happen when your girl meets a guy that might be abusive, and she was taught never to say no. So think like that. How powerful it is to practice it with--what better place than with Mom? Mom may get sad. Mom may choose to get things personal. Mom may remind you for like a year and on Christmas and this, how you never came to the meeting with the aunt from Wisconsin, but guess what.

 

You will be actually honoring your truth and even you will be honoring your mother because you will not be visiting her without feeling that you need to be there, and if you are there not wanting to be there, there’s rifts, there’s incongruency, and there’s the faces, there’s the tiredness, and some of us, without saying the power of no will manifest disease.

 

I used to be a yesser. I used to say yes, yes, yes I will help you. Yes, yes, yes all of the time. And secretly I was getting tired. I got sick. I got a thyroid, which is in the throat, condition. I got hyperthyroid. How did I created that? I kept saying yes. I was a yesser. I didn’t--never--I would think saying no was super anti-spiritual, and actually, when I found my no, then is when I truly find my true yes to life, and when one of my teachers told me, when you really can say no, then you can say a one powerful yes.

 

Goiter is the enlargement of the thyroid gland. It is not cancerous. A person with goiter can have normal levels of thyroid hormone (euthyroidism), excessive levels (hyperthyroidism) or levels that are too low (hypothyroidism).

Warren, Connecticut. Our cat, "The Kitty" turned 17 today and given what this cat has been through as a "professional cat" living to 17 is akin to one of us living to 100. Here's the back story I wrote on The Kitty on her 16th birthday.

 

The Kitty has had arthritis for a few years and it's hard for her to get around like she used to but she still manages to get worked up over her catnip mice. She survived feline diabetes (in remission), has gone a year with hyperthyroidism, under control now with a "transdermal" application of medication (on her ear tips), and lately her kidneys are giving out which may eventually get the better of her.

 

I decided not to waste a can of tuna on her, finally remembering that she's never liked it, ever. Tonight I'll give her a small bowl of milk and a warm lap to jump up on, made warm from the near nuclear heat of this MacBook Pro.

 

So Kitty, Anne and I wish you another happy birthday, we're glad you were born and even more glad that you made it into our lives.
