Hahaha....We are not that stupid

Since the pandemic, Queensland has been a magnet for residents of southern states, including Victoria. Over the five years to Q4 2024, 163,200 residents from other states relocated to Queensland. Many of these residents came from Victoria, which lost 82,130 net residents over the same period. The sp...

"PNF stretching, or Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation stretching, is an advanced flexibility technique that combines passive stretching with muscle contractions. It is often used by therapists to improve muscle elasticity and range of motion. GOOGLE says-PNF stretching involves a partner who assists in both stretching the muscle and providing resistance during contractions."

However, Rex says, i.e., I say you don't need a partner. You can hold/stretch a limb, torso , or neck into a static position at end of range. Then, you perform an isometric contraction in the opposing direction. Hold for approximately 10 seconds.

Personally, I prefer to hold a stretch at end of range for more than 45 seconds. Just relax as you do the stretch.
Breath normally.
You will be rewarded with renewed flexibility and usually less chronic pain....see a pilates instructor.

Obviously nothing to do with the covid-19 experiment. No correlation.......

Australians aged in their 30s and 40s are experiencing unprecedented and in some cases world-leading rates of 10 different types of cancer — and scientists are desperate to understand why.

Why is a bloke who is found guilty of stealing $430,000 still allowed to remain out of jail and collect his salary. Surely it's nor because he's a politician and above the law. I remember the cops, tho apologising, saying they had to lock me up due to an unpaid parking ticket.

What's on my mind, asks Google. 😁 CHRONIC Pain......which can lead to depression, and it's damn painful. OK, first thing most people do is go to the doctor.

However, the doctor usually proscribes drugs, right.
For today, let's look at the usual drugs you may be advised to use. Number one on the list is usually Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, known as NSAIDs. Ie, Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB, others); naproxen sodium (Aleve); Celebrex, Aspirin, etc.

Are there any harmful side effects?
Indeed there is!
For instance, a person suffering back pain or a headache is usually prescribed NSAID’s (Non Steroidal Anti Inflammatory Drugs), such as Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Celebrex, etc. Although these drugs may diminish the pain, it is often at the expense of a person’s health.

Read below to learn what the unbiased research found about the dangers of NSAIDs:

1. The Lancet, which is the world’s most prestigious medical journal reported one side effect of NSAID’s as gastrointestinal bleeding and perforation.

2. Furthermore, Dr Shidrawi, from the Homerton University Hospital in London stated that NSAID’s increased the patient’s chance of dying by 20% if seriously ill, or is over 60 years of age. Additional side effects include spontaneous abortion.

3. A 50% increased risk of renal cell cancer.

4. A 50% increased risk of death for heart attack survivors.

5. Erectile dysfunction, etc..... Click on links below to read original publications.
