The man, who is in his forties, went to Tampa General Hospital three weeks after he began seeing strange pale "yellowish nodules" emerging from his palms, soles, and elbows, according to a new case report published in the journal JAMA Cardiology.

Back in 73, I remember. I think it was on "Stairway to Hell", IIRC

He'll probably get to that point eventually.

who is touting that cholesterol is great for you or some such. The goddamned MSM is pure shit these days. I often see articles accompanied by videos that are unrelated or relate but promote dangerous practices or ideas - seeming right from oan or somewhere - or maybe dumbass RJKJr.

Every am have a 7-egg omelet. No joke. It's supposed to make you very, very healthy. Meats all day. Don't worry about vegetables. Unbelievable. We're in the 'Joe Rogaine Era' where up is down, right is wrong and flat Earth, not globe. Pass the Ivermectin....
