    Prolotherapy

    Thanks, Carol. With insurance the way it is these days, I have a $5,000 deductible, and pay the first $5000 out of pocket with pre-tax dollars using my Health Savings Account (but my company puts in $1,000 into that HSA account each year), where a procedure is covered by insurance or not is...

    Prolotherapy

    By definition, if the median is 1989, then there are as many research articles since 1989 as there were before 1989, making (basically) half the data much more recent. Looking at their footnotes, there are 34 articles with a median of 1997; there 17 articles with a median of 2000. The paper...

    Prolotherapy

    I presume you're asking how my knee is doing. I've only had the one Stem Cell Prolotherapy session done (Oct 18). I am 100% satisfied with the results, and as the doctor informed me, he suspects I'll need to have the procedure done 3-4 times. Personally I think I'll only need it done 3...

    Prolotherapy

    The median value year of all the footnotes is 1989 with the max value 2001. In human health studies, longitude and persistence over decades is a valuable input to a medical society taking a consensus opinion on a practice. The min value is 1930. The scientific method goes back hundreds of...

    Hiking Suggestions within 2 hrs of Albany during Hunting Season

    I'm wondering where it's best to do a 1/2 day or full day hike during hunting season on the weekend within 90-120 minute drive from Albany. I'm wondering if Fire Tower road/trail hikes are better or worse to do during the Hunting Season. I'll be wearing orange. Any suggestions? I was...

    Lost my windshirt - can anyone suggest a replacement?

    What about this Cordura Windshirt? (I'm looking to get one now, Alan). Want to protect my Down Jacket, next time I bushwhack in thorns. Thanks for the Bushwhack though! I'm game for any future ones (as long as they aren't like the Cornell Crack)...

    SPOT vs FAST FIND

    Consider either this year's model or next year's Spot Connect I just saw this video about the Spot Connect. It enables you to communicate by satellite to friends, automobile tow/repair service, and/or an emergency SOS center. And it only weighs 4.9 oz (w/ batteries) . On the John Muir Trail...

    Prolotherapy

    Doug, did you hear the counterpoint or are you only listening/reading half the debate? I'm referring to the below paragraph. By the way, Dr. Hauser has a great critique on the established insurance companies and medical critics of Prolotherapy who use "placebo" studies to show that the...

    SPOT vs FAST FIND

    Kevin, I live in your neck of the woods a month each year. That's where the McClure Meadow Ranger Station NPS Ranger (Kings Canyon NPS) said him and his boss felt the Spot was going to save your life faster (because the Spot people knew how to contact the NPS faster when an emergency happens...

    SPOT vs FAST FIND

    Re: Spot v. FastFind I've owned both devices (not concurrently). The spot followed use of the FastFind. Some observations. 1. The FastFind weighs more. 2. The FastFind requires spending about $100 to change the battery and it only lasts 4-5 years, which means you should sell yours after...

    Prolotherapy

    I won't disagree with your wording, "proven". But that doesn't mean it's not worthwhile to try. If everyone took your approach, we'd never get new advances proven. It takes people like me, and the professional athletes and amateur athletes, and the medical doctors and researchers, and...

    David, I've read the Blue Cross and UHC statements on Prolotherapy and am well aware of them. In my posting, I provided this paragraph: By the way, Dr. Hauser has a great critique on the established insurance companies and medical critics of Prolotherapy who use "placebo" studies to show that...

    Is the Iphone 4s the perfect Smartphone GPS for Remote Mountain Hiking?

    The JMT (John Muir Trail) does not have cell service for about 98% of the 211 mile trail, common to any hikers doing hiking in remote mountains (I'm on the JMT each summer for a month). Lots of places in the Catskills and Adirondacks (where I do a lot of weekend hiking), same situation. - Hide...

    knee pain

    Amazing, this is just amazing and hopeful. I've wondered why my knee is so much better now than it was July 2nd. When you say you had the diagnosis in your 20s and the pain went away in your 30s, was it like 10 years, or 5 years or what (25-35 or 27.5-32.5)? Also in your last sentence you say...
