botanicals for lowering cholesterol??
Comments (35)"What studies exist on gynostemma all seem to have looked at effects in cell cultures and on rodents (i.e. rats and guinea pigs). No human trials. Given the problems that have surfaced on closer examination of some "traditional Chinese medicines", I'm not sure I'd want to be a human guinea pig for gynostemma." On the contrary, the Chinese have done all the field trials you could want on this. Jiaogulan tea is quite popular in the areas of China where people have enjoyed extreme longevity (100+) for centuries. Now, while that doesn't PROVE Jiagulan is good for you, if it was toxic it's unlikely regular users would live LONGER than average. Remember that most clinical trials in the USA are done for profit, pure and simple. Come up with a new cholesterol drug you can patent, and you'll get your study. But imagine this: someone decides to do a clinical trial to prove that drinking distilled water is good for you. They spend 50 Million dollars proving this. Now, they publish their results. How do they make their money back? The water market is already saturated, so to speak. Making money selling water usually requires fringe science claims that the water has been 'de-polarized' by spinning in a centrifuge for ten hours. Not kidding, BTW. So, the only studies you'll see on "wellness" items are going to be smaller, University studies. It's surprising even ginseng attracted enough attention to be studied, much less exotics like Jiaogulan....See MoreMiele pricing
Comments (17)Miele is a corporate animal, just like every other. It will expand itself into every area it can to maximize its own return. The intent is clearly to create a monolithic vertical market. Right now they are punishing customers, next, they will turn their attention to the dealers. If they succeed, how long will it be before that model is adopted by other marques? Vertical markets have been, in the past, considered illegal under the Sherman Anti-Trust act. Now that the laissez faireists have taken over the judiciary and corporations have more rights than citizens (they don't have to pay taxes, they own Congress, they have no limits on the amount of resources they can devote to the pursuit of political control, they are now in a position to argue that they are too big to fail and too big to obey the law. On and on.) The trend will continue until we stop allowing corporations to write their own laws, buy legislators wholesale, and appoint whore judges guaranteed to never rule against them in court. That "military-industrial complex" Eisenhower warned us about? It's here. Steaming pile of Leftist crap. Modern America is as far away from laissez faire as it has ever been. We have a socialist in the White House in the process of nationilizing 1/8 of the US Economy, the healthcare industry. Companies spend as much or more time rent seeking from the regulatory monstrosity than they do innovating. GE did not pay a cent on $14B in profits not becuase of "laissez faire" but becuase they got a tax credit for energy efficient light bulbs. This is part of the Leftist handbook on how to manage an economy. In our little corner of the world,efficency regulations have killed the afforadable and effective washing machine and refrigerator....See MoreWolf appliances at a lower price:
Comments (3)Sorry first attempt mispelled SubZero model: I am looking at Wolf appliances: the Gas cooktop CT30G, the 30 inch downdraft unit, DD30I, and the E series Oven. This is coming in over my proposed appliance budget (in Canada this is just over $8000). I was thinking of looking at DirectBUY (http://directbuysca.com) but there have been questions about them on consumer shows. Does anyone here have experience buying from DirectBUY? Or other lower cost retailers? Does anybody know of a places in Canada where these appliances may be a little less costly? PS I would also buy a SubZero BI36U in a second at $3000. I almost fell ove r when I saw they were almost $10000. Have I been looking at "pay top price here" stores or are these typical Canadian pricing?...See MoreSears price-match Sears Canada??
Comments (5)Whidbey... I kind of take some sort of perverse satisfaction in seeing that the fridge you want is cheaper in Canada :) The only reason I say that is because being a Canadian, I do a lot of shopping in the US, as we are almost always the ones getting smoked!! :) If the friedge is $1500 cheaper before factoring in exchange rate, and if you are not too far from the border, you should consider buying it in Canada, as our CDN dollar has fallen faster than the Hindenburg in recent months. Your dollar will go a good 20% further in Canada at current rates. So, that 1500 plus exchange is like $1800. That is big change. Now, I go shopping in Buffalo area all the time. I will tell you the official rates that apply to importing into Canada and the rates I actually get charged. "Officially", the product I buy will be converted to CDN dollars including tax. So if I buy something for $100US plus 8% tax = $108US...they convert this to CDN....so, say 25%...so 108x25%=$135CDN then they apply our ridiculous sales tax's (13% in Ontario) so 135x13%=$152.55...and officially they can apply duty. If it is manufactured in North America there is no duty because of free trade, but if manufactured else where duty can be applied usually about 7% or so. Now unofficially they have never charged me duty regardless of where it is made. So, right now 100USD would cost me $152.55CDN by the time I have it at my home. Importing from Canada to US should be similar, except you will get a favorable exchange rate. You probably will have to pay our 13% sales tax, but your favorable exchange rate will more than make up for it. I would say you would still save a ton of money buying at Sears Canada....I would guess you'd still be saving close to $1500. I know there would be costs to go to Canada to pick it up, but when I make trips to the US to save money on products, the money I save on the product, I consider pays for my little "vacation" to the US....See Morejoyfulguy
