"Japan's very interesting. Some people think it copies things. I don't think that anymore. I think what they do is reinvent things. They will get something that's already been invented and study it until they thoroughly understand it. In some cases, they understand it better than the original inventor. Out of that understanding, they will reinvent it in a more refined second-generation version. That strategy works only when what they're working with isn't changing very much. The stereo industry and the automobile industry are two examples. When the target is moving quickly, they find it very difficult, because that reinvention cycle takes a few years. As long as the definition of what a personal computer is keeps changing at the rate that it is, they will have a very hard time. Once the rate of change slows down, the Japanese will bring all of their strengths to bear on this market, because they absolutely want to dominate the computer business; there's no question about that. They see that as a national priority. We think that in four to five years, the Japanese will finally figure out how to build a decent computer. And if we're going to keep this industry one in which America leads,we have four years to become world-class manufacturers. Our manufacturing technology has to equal or surpass that of Japan." - Steve Jobs 1985
It's my belief that eventually you'll be able to do most general blood tests at home via a connected device that will keep a log of all your blood levels. If you start to get sick an approved practitioner can pull up your prior tests via an interface similar to time machine and see when things started to go awry. Think Chem 10 + Lipid Panel + CBC once weekly...
I delivered newspapers from the ages of 8-18 every morning from 5a-6a. I was skinny as a rail and had more mental clarity than anytime since. If only I could go back to those days...
Using a cho based mouthwash is pretty much asking for dental carries. Couple that with a little exercise induced xerostomia and you should be good to go.
