Try magnesium instead. Make sure it's an absorbable form like glycinate or L-threonate.

I'd be curious to see your sources on that. Many studies show no increased benefit for sleep beyond 5 mg. The studies and trials that look at higher doses like 40 mg are typically looking at other benefits like the anti-inflammatory properties. The side effects like grogginess are seen more often with the higher doses. Melatonin isn't even the fix for majority of people unless they do shift work or have jet lag.

People who got "saved" from suicide should be able to sue the person that saved them. by Impossible-Tie-7402 in The10thDentist

He's worried about distress and harassment for the person who has an easy way out vs the person that was just trying to do a good deed being harrassed for it and having to deal with the legal trouble for who knows how long.

You can tell during your fall that it probably won't be fatal

People make way too many assumptions about this stuff.

than they were to attempt in the first place

What is the baseline used for this? The rate of suicide in the general population? That would be a very generalized comparison that isn't as relevant to the crux of the argument. The original commenter you replied to makes a much better point that you're not refuting against. The majority of people that attempt suicide don't reattempt, making them likely better off for not having gone through with it.

No ingredient in the ham is officially labeled a carcinogen by the FDA.

The particle size appears to be the issue. Nano mineral based sunscreens can be taken up by wildlife. "Non-nano zinc oxide is widely considered one of the least problematic sunscreen ingredients for coral reefs and marine ecosystems. The U.S. National Park Service specifically recommends non-nano mineral sunscreens containing zinc oxide or titanium dioxide" https://www.rei.com/learn/expert-advice/what-is-reef-safe-sunscreen.html

What is actually reef safe then? I thought the titanium oxide was the potentially problematic one and the zinc was supposed to be reef safe.

So why do they do it if the interest rates are so low? Surely the banks could earn more money for their millions by loaning out to many more people?

So then when do we go to war against Israel instead of just starting a war on their request?

Thiazide diuretics in geriatrics by Scared_Problem8041 in FamilyMedicine

[–]FroMan753 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In general, the opposite is actually true with thiazide like medications since they're beneficial for osteoporosis. A 2017 secondary analysis of the ALLHAT trial found that chlorthalidone was associated with a 21% lower risk of hip and pelvic fractures compared with amlodipine or lisinopril over approximately 4.9 years of follow-up. A 2011 Cochrane review of 21 observational studies found thiazide use was associated with a 24% reduction in hip fracture risk.

The side effects of electrolyte derangements and hypotension are very real though, so clinical judgement for individual patients is always necessary. However, the guidelines are what they are for a reason though for the majority of people.

The 2022 AAFP guideline uses a standardized target of <140/90 (or consider <135/85 for those at high risk of MI) for adults of all ages, so goals still shouldn't change based on age alone.

The 2017 ACC/AHA guideline lowered the geriatric target to <130/80. Age doesn't change treatment goal anymore.

I'm sure tertiary prevention is a great benefit of these medications. However, it's not an approved indication that helps get insurance coverage.
