Viva Colombia!

Boycott non-medical Colombian drugs.

Our greed for "recreational" drugs  is damaging the people of other countries.

What can we do to better support the people, the people of other countries and of our own?

Progress?

As being overweight may be a cause of hypertension, pushing back fro the table a bit earlier may be a positive help. A decision to continue to eat everything, but a bit less of it may lead to progress toward lower blood pressure. Walking a bit more than has become customary could lead to similar progress.Coupling a reasonable cut in calories with a calorie-expenditure increase may help too.

Calorie-expenditure usually refers to exercise or physical activity. A moderately paced walk of a mile once a day is considered moderate exercise and is often to lead to longer walks at greater speed. Such exercise is not expected to result in marked increase in appetite.

Those, like me, unwilling to eat less and be more physically active may opt for chemical surgery. For example, taking drugs which are powerful ganglionic blocking agents. Such drugs, in effect, perform chemical surgery.

I have also taken relaxer drugs, like hydralazine, which produce a more gradual and more lasting fall in pressure than gangionic blockers. A combination of hydralazine with hexamethonium seems helpful. Then there wee others like rauwolffia and resepine.

Drugs which might be called usurpers(guanethidine)and also the diuretics didn't seem helpful. Enough diuretics to actuall reduce my pressure, for example, lead to heart discomfort. I am experiencing heart discomfort an pressure right now. I wonder if the aliskiren I've just begun to take is a diuretic!!

Declaration of Peace

The man presently leading our national efforts to reduce the demand for illegal drugs in our county has declared that the use of the term "war on drugs" is counter indicated.

He seems to understand that the term implies violence toward American citizens and has no effect on drugs.

Colombia: Hazy Thoughts

Overdoses of laudanum were used for suicide. A bit on the finger to sooth baby's new tooth.

Other than death, what are other irremediable defects of old age?

What about the lovely women?

Between the Santa Fe railroad of Colombia and the Santa Fe railroad of the US is there no connection?

The bolero can't be a kind of waltz, can it?


The Mexican dancing the cumbia does not think of black women dancing slowly by moon lit surf. He does not see her white, her candle, her torch. That was before "Marta La Reina."

I wonder if the taruya still blooms purple/blue in the river backwaters?

How sick is the Great Magdalena River?

Are tangos still danced in the barrios of Medellin? Who dances the bambuco?

Drug wars are a deadly fantasy.
