Happy Friday, Tex
I know the feeling, re TMJ. What it did to me was ear infections, 3 in a row. My MD referred me to a physical therapist that did ultrasound type treatments on my face. That took care of it.
It will be exciting if my hearing and vision improve when the inflammation goes away. I have worn hearing aids for 2 years. I also wore one, 25 years ago. I have never been able to hear too well, and I am good at reading lips. In the last year, my vision has greatly deteriorated. I was told to stop sleeping in my contacts so I rarely wear them. It is too much trouble to take them out and I find myself dropping them and having to replace them.
I will get my D this afternoon when I go to town. I agree-the higher the better.
I am SO proud of you that you are writing another book. I think there are enough of us here that will assist the establishment of a non profit foundation that we will accomplish this.
Final question: I have saved an article as a PDF from update.com. How do I post it? I clicked Img but it does not seem to work. I am clueless and I know you are a computer guru.
I hope you have a splendid weekend!

Hello to you both,
I think setting up a foundation would be terrific and am willing to help in anyway I can. I've done some grant writing, if that should be needed.
Tex, any clues to what your next book is about? (If you posted that elsewhere I apologize for missing it).
thanks
Carol

Carol,
You are the answer to my prayer for someone with this kind of expertise!
I too would love to know what Tex's book is about. I assume an update re: MC.

Hi Deb, and Happy Friday to you also,
You're probably already familiar with this, but I'll post it anyway, in case someone else might find it helpful:
The easiest way is to just post a link to the article. To do that, first go to the article (in your browser) to which you want to post a link, and then locate the address of the article in the navigation bar at the top of your browser. In most browsers, the navigation bar will contain a long narrow window, and the URL, or address, of the current internet site will be displayed there (the URL will begin with either "http:", or "www"). Right click the mouse somewhere on that address to highlight it, and then left-click on "copy" in the drop-down menu that opens. That will copy the link to the "clipboard" in the computer operating system. (Or copy it by whatever method you prefer).
After that, you can locate the cursor wherever you want the link to appear in your post, and simply right-click on the mouse (to open a context menu), and left-click on the "paste" option in that context menu to copy the URL into your post. Be sure to leave a space ahead of the URL, and behind it, so that everyone's browser will be able to tell where the URL begins, and where it ends. When you click on the "submit" button to post the message, the system will automatically convert the URL into a live link.
But I'm guessing that the above information won't be helpful in this case, because that site will not allow you to post a link (because of password requirements). (Actually, you can post a link, but it won't do anyone any good, without a password.) Php code (that operates most bulletin boards) can't handle PDF files. But you can post the text in a PDF file instead. To do that, just open the PDF in a PDF reader/editor and highlight and copy the text to the clipboard. You can then paste it into your post as described above in the previous paragraph.
If you want to post it as a quote, simply highlight all of the text that you want to appear as a quote, and then click on the "Quote" button above the message-composing window. The system will automatically enter the bulletin board code (BBCode) into your message, so that most browsers will automatically interpret the selected text as a quote.
If that doesn't seem to work, please let me know.
I hope you have a truly enjoyable weekend also. Other than typical summer temps, we're having beautiful weather here and as far as I can tell, it's a great time to be alive, so I intend to enjoy the heck out of it.

Still having Issues, Tex
Problem loading page---the connection was reset. I have gotten that message 7 times. This article on MC cites gluten intolerance. Perhaps I can email it to you as an attachment and you can post it? I am on a MacBook Air.
It is beautiful here also after a few days when we experienced rain. I liked that because I did not have to water my angel trumpets, geraniums, foxgloves, echinaceas, roses, and hydrangeas. It IS a great time to be alive. Enjoy! Now that my knee has healed, I am able to do the 240 steps to the dock and the pontoon boat. The lake is calling me!

Carol,
The book is about vitamin D, and specifically, how a vitamin D deficiency leads to autoimmune disease (with all the boring medical details and references to support the claim).
If you would be willing to help with that vital task, I have no doubt that we will be able to grow this into an organization that we can all be proud of.
Thank you for your kind offer,
Tex

The connection problem is caused either by your internet connection being too slow, or by their server not being available (or too slow, due to overload). It might work OK later.Deb wrote:Problem loading page---the connection was reset. I have gotten that message 7 times. This article on MC cites gluten intolerance.

Is that a paid subscription, or is a subscription free of charge?
Did you try just opening the saved PDF on your computer and copying the text?
The problem with me posting that text is that posting copyrighted information on a discussion board (or anywhere else) without permission from the owners is illegal, and as an administrator, I would certainly be expected to know better. Of course the copyright laws say that everyone else should know better also, but since posters everywhere seem to be doing it all the time, if push comes to shove, an admin can simply say that they didn't realize that someone had posted the information on their site, and they will remove it immediately, and usually this will resolve the conflict. As you know, posting rephrased information is fine, posting copied material is verboten.
If a subscription is free, (similar to the way that Medscape operates) then it's not unreasonable to assume that any members here who would like to read the articles can sign up. But if a subscription requires a payment, then a link would be pretty much pointless (to most of us), IMO.
What is the name of the article? Maybe I can locate a free source (but of course that's not always possible).
One of the benefits of spending time on a lake is that there's a lot of vitamin D free for the taking by anyone out on a lake on a sunny day.

Oops!
Yes Tex, it is a paid subscription. Dr. Libert provided me with a one month guest subscription. Perhaps I should quote the part of the article that discusses gluten sensitivities and reference the reader to the source of the article. I should and do know better myself. After all, I defended my dissertation. I just was not thinking... Off to town...I will do it later.

It appears that the article was an overview of mostly old data. I don't understand why they feel that the information was worth paying for, since most of the data that appears in their references are pretty old and have been covered in free overview articles many times by other sources. These are some of the references to gluten-sensitivity from that article. References 110 through 112, plus 115, for example, all deal with gluten sensitivity, but they are basically 10 to 24 year old articles (the last one is Dr. Fine's publication about genetic overlap between MC and celiac disease).

Tex, the joke among my colleagues that while others find research and stats boring or dry to read, I love the stuff. When they need to find a the best way to represent a student's progress on a chart or graph they come to me. In fact the principals send them to me. I'm afraid in my neck-of- the-woods I am the resident stat/data nerd. I'm sure I will enjoy your next book very much.
