Anyone who has had success with Rhodochiton atrosanguinea ?
Comments (2)Hmm, I start mine from seed, via wintersowing. They germinate late - late May/early June - mine is just starting to bloom now, but since I have about 6 more good weeks (and another 2 iffy weeks if I pay attention and cover plants when necessary), I'm satisfied....See MoreHas anyone's child ever had a Herbst appliance?
Comments (24)My 13 year old granddaughter will be wearing one of these Herbst appliances very soon, but it's not intended to correct an overbite or underbite. She had been experiencing headaches for about the past two years, and for over a year her jaw has been making a loud clicking sound as she opens and closes her mouth causing her pain each time. She was finally taken to a dentist who then referred her to an orthodontist. They thought it may be TMJ, so the doctor ordered an MRI of her jaw area. It was not TMJ. The right side of her jaw isn't even connected, and the clicking noises are coming from left side of her jaw . The orthodontist said he has never seen a case so sever as this in a child before...only saw cases like this with adults who have been in a traumatic auto accident, or who have had a forceful blow to their face. Her mom doesn't recall any such things ever happening as she was growing up. But I do remember when she had a root canal and cap done at the age of 3 or 4 years old. I distinctly recall how she cried in pain for hours afterwards and I couldn't find a way to comfort her. I even drove her back to the dental office where it was performed that same day and they insisted nothing was wrong with her. The orthodontist who just recently requested the MRI be done, said she has a smaller mouth than most others. I have a gut feeling, and from after talking with others about this, that there's a possibility that when they did the root canal procedure it may have partially dislocated her jaw and that her jaw never went back into the normal position as she was growing all these years. The Orthodontist does not guarantee that wearing the Herbst will even solve her problems in the end, which is heart wrenching to even think of. It's even more heartbreaking to know the pain she is going to have to endure wearing this appliance. But worse, if it doesn't work, they said surgery is the next option. I've heard that with surgery nerves will be cut and loss of feeling in the chin area occurs causing the person to always drool. That would be so traumatic for any teenager to have to deal with. This is so difficult to even imagine what might happen in the long run. I just pray that wearing the Herbst will completely correct her condition. Please, if there is anyone else who has had this similar condition, please let me know how your results were with wearing this appliance....See MoreFor anyone who has had shingles
Comments (8)I had a very mild case of shingles in 2003. Mine was on left side of lower abdomen, and it started with a pain along the edge of my ribcage from bottom front and traveling along the line of my ribcage. I thought I had pulled a muscle lifting on my young grandson. Exactly a week after the pain started, I noticed a patch of small blister like bumps in a cluster. I suspected shingles and went to the Dr. that day. She gave me an oral medicine to take to stop the spread, and it worked like a charm. After the "break out" of the blisters, the pain subsided and I wasn't bothered much after that. As I said though, mine was a very mild case, and I think going on to the Dr. helped it to be a mild case. Don't feel silly going to the Dr., it's your body and you know when something isn't "right". Good luck!!!...See Morehas anyone successfully treated root weevils with nematodes?
Comments (16)One comment David-the concern for pollinators is obviously a real one. But I would urge caution in laying the blame-or even a large part of the blame-on neonics. Keep in mind two things: First, neonics (neonicotinoid insecticides) were developed to replace older, even more toxic chemistries. For example, the broad-spectrum nerve poisons known as organophosphates may now come back into play. That doesn't strike me as progress. Second, neonics are insecticides. As such, yes, they will kill bees, which are of course insects. That shouldn't surprise us. A major kill of bumblebees in Oregon was the direct result of an applicator not following the directions on the label, and spraying a bunch of linden trees-basically bee magnets-when in bloom. A whole class of materials should not be banned based on such idiocy. Additionally, there are known to be a host of other serious factors impacting the bee populations. Habitat loss is likely right near the top of that list, as we develop and develop more and more land. Finally, Australia continues to use neonics. They have no colony collapse disorder in their honeybees. But one thing not present on that continent is the varroa mite, a known ruiner of beehives. I can readily admit that each class of insecticide may harm bees. But the way this has been twisted around in the pseudo-science, it is as if neonics are especially prone to do so. I highly doubt that's the case. Similarly, the "news" that researchers have fingered glyphosate (Roundup) herbicide as a "probable carcinogen" now appears to rest on extremely shoddy studies. In short, I don't believe it. And I've taken showers in that stuff when high-pressure sprayer hoses have burst. I continue to not have a third arm growing out of my back. I'm neither pro-pesticide or against. I'm simply pro-unbiased science. As one fellow put it recently in the debunking of that supposed glyphosate study, the face book-ification of science is now well under way, with various "studies" seeming to gain impact based on the number of "likes" they get. Which is to say, that isn't science at all....See Morefarkee
