  • Acronis

10/18/13

On 1/18/2017 we bought an upgrade to Acronis True Image 2017 New Generation for 3 computers. The uggrade price was an amazingly low $19.99, including 1TB of cloud storage. But, as of this 4/28/2017 Acronis has made no effort to correct such a simple bug as failure of Media Builder to respond. Acronis replies to email questions have all been non-responsive boiler-plate. For now we stick with Acronis True Image 2015. It works with XP through W10. We have been using Acronis True Image 2015 v18. 0. 0. 6613 with XP and W7 since it became available. The basic features we have used on this build have worked reliably. We have not comprehensively tested all features.

In 2020 we switched to using Macrium Reflect for image backups. It is very easy to use and well supported by the UK author.

  • Mercola

7/16/13

Read what this O. D. has written about the taking of statin drugs, ask your own trusted cardiologist(s) and decide for yourself whether or not to trust all the advice this O. D. publishes.

A close friend who exercised regularly, stayed trim and ate an exceptionally healthy diet, relied solely upon Mercola's advice instead of that of any competent cardiologist. His sky high LDL (bad cholesterol) went untreated, he failed to be followed by a cardiologist and consequently had a near fatal heart attack from a single 100% occlusion of the notorious "widow-maker" artery. A competent interventionalist implanted a stent within 1 hour, saving his life and putting him on the proper drug regimen, including a statin. This patient's left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is now 45%, which is below the bottom of the low normal range, indicative of permanent death of heart muscle. This patient blames Mercola, O. D. for his absolutely incorrect advice as regards statin drugs and now trusts nothing which Mercola writes. This friend is now a patient of the interventionalist who saved his life and carefully follows the proper advice of this very competent MD.

A major problem is that Mercola sometimes embeds dangerously incorrect medical advice in amongst some other perfectly correct advice. This misleads the naive and medically uninformed patient into thinking that all the advice is correct.

Ordered an ancestry report via computer from this outfit for $1 ("sale"). They accept only MC and Visa. Used MC. Report was supposed to arrive by email in 10 min. Did not. Within 1 hour called MC. Found there were attempts at 2 new MC charges. One for 50¢ cents by "carinfo1.com" and one for 49¢ by "groundcheck". Strange. Had MC immediately cancel and replace credit card used.

I bought a B&H MICRO PLUS RECHARGEABLE As Seen On TV. It works great as a cheap high frequency noise amplifier, low frequencies gone.

I checked out some prices via this site and would conclude that this site is likely a scam by BigPharma and/or the pharmacist organizations to deter the naive and uninformed from finding the really good prices at *www.pharmacychecker.com*. Most, but not all, drugs are least expensive at www.cheapodrugs.com. Like most of the pharmacies in the www.pharmacychecker.com list, www.cheapodrugs.com will meet the lowest price found in this list. I get brand Bristol Myers Squibb 5 mg Olglyza at $173 per #84 and Zetia (a/k/a Ezetrol, Ezitimibe) made by Lupin for $30.60. See for yourself the astronomical prices you are led to by pharmacydiscountnetwork. On some, but not all, drugs you will get the best price at www.healthwarehouse.com. You can get Metformin and a list of common antibiotics FREE at Publix grocery store. On the other off-patent generics, you will get near the best price at Costco and an astronomically higher price at CVS (CVS does not post its prices on the internet - you have to telephone them to find out just how horribly bloated their prices are). Off-patent generics will be cheapest if bought in the US and will generally be much more expensive from abroad.
