Re: Umbilical Cord Stem cells

There was no side by side/case by case results but a general overall success rate for type 2 diabetics and "moderate" or partial success with type 1 diabetics. You may read the studies from the U. of Wisconsin and Eastern Virginia Medical School as they are posted on the web. Or, parts of ...

Re: Umbilical Cord Stem cells

After reading about this new approach to possibly curing diabetes I found one site in particular, Cyro-Cell International, which gives an outline of three different stem cell based trial studies on type 1 diabetics. One test done by the Eastern Virginia Medical School used bone marrow stem cells fro...

Re: Acquiring Insulin

Not only insulin but syringes should also be stockpiled. I know people who use the same syringe 4 or 5 times, then save the allotted syringes not used to acquire a stockpile of them. No ill effects have occurred from doing this. You may also purchase syringes at a pet store but these are a larger di...

Well that's good news. My doctor has recommended taking 2000 units of fish oil twice daily to lower cholesterol. I can't take statins because they cause severe muscle pain.

Re: All Purpose White Flour Storage

I've got white flour stored in large Tupperware type tubs, high and dry in a cool storage locker with no problems after 12 years. We don't use very much flour and bought it in bulk, that's why we still have it. What is the recommended way to properly store it?

Re: Horizontal Nylon Shoulder Holster

The main concern with a CCW holster is that you can pull the piece out without it getting hung up on the front sight blade or safety catch, if you need to draw you need it NOW ! This is why a pistol with target sights is not very practical for carrying because the front sight blade is higher than st...

Re: Going Blue

Mine did that also right from the factory set up. Maybe try setting the #2 die just a tad deeper so it opens up the mouth of the case more to accept lead bullets. Those shavings can cause a malfunction and eliminating them by hand takes forever. :thumbs:

I have to admit that my first test batch of 223 rounds would not work correctly, the bolt would not go home because the shoulder dimensions had changed when inserting the projectile.

Re: At the bench today...

Why do you pop out primers before tumbling?? I have tried this before and pieces of tumbling media become lodged in the flash hole or primer pocket and then must be removed by hand, a real pain in the butt. Does a wet tumbler contain any abrasives or is it strictly a liquid cleaner?

Re: AR building

Ammo prices are down because the suppliers need to eliminate as much inventory as possible before the first of the year, or they get stuck paying tax on it. I saw military surplus 30 rd AR mags with the non binding followers for $7.00 a pop at a small local gun show. These were new mags still in the...

Re: AR building

Noticed the prices dropping and in some cases they are half of what they cost during the panic buying period after Sandyhook. Everybody and their brother owns an AR now. This may be a strategic error as some terrain requires a heavier, longer range round. Must admit they are a lot of fun to shoot.
