Water or Coke?

We all know that water is important but have you ever seen it written down like this before:

The Facts on Water:

1. 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated.

2. In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is often mistaken for hunger.

3. Even MILD dehydration will slow down one’s metabolism as much as 30%.

4. One glass of water will shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a University of Washington study.

5. Lack of water is the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue.

6. Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers.

7. A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen or on a printed page.

8. Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79%, and one is 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer.

And now for the properties of COKE:

1. In many states (in the USA) the highway patrol carries two gallons of Coke in the truck to remove blood from the highway after a car accident.

2. You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of coke and it will be gone in two days.

3. To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet bowl and let the “real thing” sit for one hour, then flush clean. The citric acid in Coke removes stains from vitreous china.

4. To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers: Rub the bumper with a rumpled-up piece of aluminum foil dipped in Coca-Cola.

5. To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour a can of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble away the corrosion.

6. To loosen a rusted bolt: Applying a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the rusted bolt for several minutes.

7. To bake a moist ham: Empty a can of Coca-Cola into the baking pan, wrap the ham in aluminum foil, and bake. Thirty minutes before the ham is finished, remove the foil, allowing the drippings to mix with the Coke for a sumptuous brown gravy.

8. To remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of coke into a load of greasy clothes, add detergent, and run through a regular cycle. The Coca-Cola will help loosen grease stains. It will also clean road haze from your windshield.

For Your Info:

1. The active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid. Its pH is 2.8. It will dissolve a nail in about 4 days. Phosphoric acid also leaches calcium from bones and is a major contributor to the rising increase in osteoporosis.

2. To carry Coca-Cola syrup (the concentrate) the commercial truck must use the hazardous material place cards reserved for Highly corrosive materials.

3. The distributors of coke have been using it to clean the engines of their trucks for about 20 years!

Now the question is, would you like a glass of water or coke?

Treating injuries with blood spinning

NEW YORK (MYFOXNY) – What do Kobe Bryant, Alex Rodriguez, and Tiger Woods all have in common? Blood spinning.

A healing technique called PRP, protein-rich plasma, which was once available only to elite athletes, is now benefiting weekend warriors.

Valerie Oltarsh-McCarthy, 55, is an adventure traveler and works out five or six times a week. Valerie had experienced knee problems for years, but six months ago arthritis in her right knee sidelined her.

“It’s really painful to squat or bend down so it really inhibits a good bit of stuff that I’d like to be able to do,” she said.

In hopes of avoiding surgery, Valerie turned to Dr. Brian Halpern. He recommended PRP therapy, which uses the patient’s own blood and platelets to heal the injury.

“We take your blood, we spin it down, we concentrate your platelets and we inject your knee with your own platelets,” Dr. Halpern said.

A vial of the patient’s blood is drown and placed in a centrifuge where it spins at an extremely high speed. Once the vial is removed, the red and white blood cells are separated from the platelet rich plasmas.

“It uses your own platelets, which you do not react to at all,” Dr. Halpern said. “They talk to your own cells. They activate growth factors and try to reboot your healing computer whatever body part we’re dealing with.”

Valerie, who had PRP done on both knees, said the results were really good.

“Within about a week or so a real diminishment of the acute pain in my knee and then over a couple of months much greater mobility in me knee,” she said.

Some doctors say that more scientific evidence is needed to determine the effectiveness of PRP treatment.

“It’s not quite ready to be used universally, but I mean that shows some promise. But it’s just preliminary data,” Dr. Joe Bosco said. “The evidence there is really lacking.”

Taekwondo expert Bill Babin experienced a bad hamstring tear just five weeks before his eighth-degree black belt test.

He had waited seven years for this moment and when his doctor suggested PRP he decided to take a chance.

“I had no idea what it was and I’d never heard of it,” Babin said.

Five weeks after blood spinning, Babin passed the grueling test. He credits blood spinning for getting him through it.

“It’s a very effective therapy and it worked on me,” Babin said. “More people need to understand that there is more out there than is traditionally offered.”

The treatment has few side effects. However, the injections can be costly and are not covered by most insurance plans. Prices range from $500 to $3,000.
