    Sorry that I didn't give you a warning. Had to move to new forum software. The old crap was constantly bugging out on me making it impossible to manage. Not to mention all the problems you guys were having with just the simple stuff (and it wasn't user error, it was crappy programming on VB's part).

    This software is called XenForo. Much nicer and easier to use. I haven't heard any complaints from people who use it. Only praise from other forum owners running this. I will be adding some mods and adjusting the style colors later on (maybe, I kind of like the black and blue).

    Again, I apologize for the abrupt change and putting you through all the troubles the last forum software caused.

    Take a look around and see what's different. Looks much easier to use and has some nice features.

    HOW I CURED MYSELF OF DENGUE IN 30 HOURS
    On 09-15at 15:06 Holy Child Hospital confirmed that I have Dengue. All their rooms were unavailable so we went to Silliman Medical Center for treatment. Following their advice I drank over 4 Liters of “Gatorade” every 24 hours until 09-16 about 21:00. Seeing no improvement in my blood Platelet Count I researched the internet for other treatments. This and a conversation with a local lady convinced me that I should try the Papaya treatment.
    The local lady told me that Dengue had been prevelant in the Philippines for centuries, and until the modern Medicos started treatment very few people died from it. For generations all the people knew that if you picked the young top leaves of a Papaya plant, washed and deveined them then pound the pulp to a liquid and drank about an ounce of this 2 or 3 times a day the Dengue would go away in a day or two.
    After watching my Blood Platelet Count steadily go down, for 3 days it was time to start self medicating. I followed the above treatment for about 36 hours and went back to have my platelet count taken. Everyone was amazed at my “miraculous” recovery and wanted to know how it came about. The nurses only smiled at each other when I told them, as they obviously already knew of this treatment. I was very confidentially told by another health care worker that they knew of this but were instructed not to mention this or any other local treatments for not only Dengue but several other maladies. It seems that the money hospitals make from lab tests and room charges outweigh the benefits to educating the local populations of inexpensive and effective treatments.

    All conventional knowledge says that there is no known cure for Dengue, so the hospitals refusal to inform people of this alternative treatment can’t be to sell patent medicine. So, what else could their actions be based on but their own greed? This is not only th Philippine situation but seems to be the practice around the world.

    I am sure, many can relate to this, Some days because we seem to live among many stupid people, it is easier to act Stupid and the day seems to go better ( For me anyway)
    This one takes the Biscuit for me!:(
    This morning at 6.30 am we had a Phone call from our Carpenter, he could not turn up today. I was annoyed as it was a day when he was the main man for putting the locks on cabinet doors. Today!

    OK, so when my Wife said hold on babe, His Sister Died.:o full of embarrassment I said OH! sorry to hear that, She could not have been very old? 34 was my wife's reply

    As you do, I asked how did she Die? I am still rolling on the floor here, of course I am sad, at hearing about a death but
    Wait for it. The answer I got was....... VOODOO! [​IMG]

    Please, tell me I am on Negros still and not been moved in my sleep and have woken up on Siquijor :eek: Where and When are these superstitions going to end.

    Is it just me or do any others come across really Stupid things?

    Morning All. JP:confused:
