Last that I heard, Raspberry Pi with VPN installed along with PiHole that you SSH/VNC (via iOS app) in to is your best option.

This has nothing to do with nootropics.

I have more than a few neurological issues. I have 3 medication induced movement disorders. I also have 2 rare immune mediated neurological diseases affecting my peripheral nervous system.

Anyways, the stuff I take is to ensure adequate nutrients for my brain. But the primary goal is for neuroregeneration over the long term.

Collecting potassium iodine is not going to save Americans, that’s for sure. The amount of preparation for the American people to survive would be next to extraordinary. Most people these days do not have what it takes, and certainly our government does not, either.

The thing is that even if the missile defense system works 100% successfully for a nuke approaching the United States, the electromagnetic pulse above is enough to disable all electronic devices in the US. Like the trajectory of the plume covers the vast majority of the US, no matter what direction the nuke comes from.

Yeah, your writing sounds eastern European, if you know what I mean (no offense).

You’re right about the American hospital, generally and for now. They have better resources, equipment, and are cleaner, among many other things. You have more rights in an American hospital (no bribe expected).

But, a country like the United States could learn from a country like Croatia and make the best out of its resources. The US could spend the same on healthcare without taking away resources from the general American populace (minus oligarchs) and allow people to be so much more healthier.

Thanks captain obvious, what you stated are public health issues. Also, money isn’t everything and unfortunately a lot of Americans use that as justification to keep playing a game that is going to kill them and/or their family member. Way too much is spent on administration of health care plans and nobody is getting good value for their money. We spend the most, and we get the worst outcomes overall of any developed country. Even things we used to excel at we are doing very poorly due to staffing, regulation, and other issues.

Honestly, the quality of care is not OK at all in the US. Just check out r/medicine and r/nursing. We are in for a whole lot of really terrible stuff.

Seriously, if someone in your immediate family gets sick and needs to be hospitalized, stay with them 24/7, even if it means sleeping on the floor. Nurses say they will do the same thing for their family members.

Anyways, I ended up spending 9 weeks in the hospital this summer. It started at a trauma hospital, where I stayed for 18 days. The first 90 hours (3.5 days) they did not even give me any long acting insulin, even though my body does not produce any insulin and I can not metabolize without long acting basal insulin. (I was never on an insulin drip either, and I was never on a high dependency unit where the insulin drip could occur.) My family had to beg and plead with them to give me basic diabetes care, including the long-acting insulin. (I was too, the whole entire time.)

The first week my blood sugars averaged overall around 400 mg/dL (22 mmol/L), and chief trauma resident and trauma fellow were explaining to trauma residents outside of my room when someone with type 1 diabetes is at risk of diabetic ketoacidosis. Such a basic matter.

Anyways the rest of the story is for another time.

There are amenable and non-amenable medical errors.

The above article is describing amenable medical errors. I don’t want to make assumptions about how your sister’s death would be classified.

However, I am so sorry for your loss, which is a tragedy. We need to do better, as this should not be happening.

The third leading cause of death in the United States is believed to be preventable medical errors.

Anyways, I have never been pregnant, but if you saw what happened to me medically this summer, you would be doing everything you could to be leaving the US. Anyways, I am a dual citizen. My other nationality is Croatian, but I don’t plan on living there.

Even Croatia, you know which went through a horrific war 30 years ago, has a better life expectancy than the US now. But even before the pandemic, they were very close to convergence with the US life expectancy. And Croatia only spends $1,100 on healthcare per citizen per year!!!
