Is soya milk good for the health?
On my Facebook page, T H E E C O C H E F, I wrote about soy, and posted a video link from Dr. Mercola. It is important to read and follow all you can with regard to soy, so that you are aware of the actual health risks of consuming soy, even organic, and even lacto-fermented. Soy presents three areas of concern: 1) Trypsin (protein digestion inhibitor) 2) Phytic Acid(nutrient inhibitor), and 3) Goitrogens (impairs thyroid function). Fermentation definitely breaks down trypsin and phytic acid, to make the soy more bio-available, but it is not clear as to whether it also breaks down the goitrogens, and there is even some evidence to suggest that it makes the goitrogens more bio-available. So, if you have any issues with your thyroid, you should avoid every kind of soy (soy milk, tofu, soy sauce, tamari), even fermented soy (tempeh, miso, and natto).
The blood or the circulatory system carries oxygen and nutrients to the tissues and removes waste from them

How long is the recovery after carotid endarectomy?
I had this procedure done on December 28, 2007. I spent one night in the ICU (to monitor blood pressure) and was released the next afternoon. I was driving six days later and was out of the office for 5. My neck has healed beautifully although the scar is visible. There is nerve damage and my right ear lobe is numb as is the skin in front of the inscision - my doctor told me there is a 50/50 chance that the nerves will regenerate. Small price to pay as far as I am concerned.
