Even though CBT-I hasn't yet been tested with all medical conditions, it probably works well to reverse insomnia regardless of the presence of medical conditions if you have the energy, strength and motivation to do it. [2021] - Judith R. Davidson

One small but revealing study found that subjects on an alternate-day fasting (ADF) diet did lose weight-but they also lost more lean mass (i.e. muscle) than subjects who simply ate 25% fewer calories every day. This study was limited because of its small size and short duration, but it suggests that fasting might cause some people, especially lean people, to lose too much muscle. On top of this, the ADF group had much lower activity levels during the study, which suggests that they were not feeling very good on the days they were not eating. [2023] - Peter Attia

Always make it easier for the client to say yes than it is for them to say no. You do it by taking away the financial, psychological, or emotional risk factors that are always attached (stated or unstated) to virtually any decision-making proposition. [2000] - Jay Abramham

In any selling environment, there are two basic philosophies, or approaches. The first involves low volume and high profit-margin. The second is the opposite--high volume, low profit-margin. Sellers on eBay have to have better prices than what's out there. To create a successful business with a low profit-margin, it is necessary to sell more product than if you were able to charge retail price. Historically, on eBay, this high-volume-low-margin philosophy tends to be the more successful. If you can purchase your product for below the average eBay selling price, you have margin and you're in business. If not, try to find something else. I recommend a product that will yield a profit margin, is available in large enough quantity, and is "UPS-able". [2005] - Adam Ginsberg

The amalgam used in silver-colored dental fillings contains approximately 49% metallic mercury, 35% silver, 9% tin, 6% copper, and trace amounts of zinc. Plastic fillings, also known as white fillings, often contain BPA and aluminum. The best option for a filling or a restoration is ceramic and ceramic-resin hybrids. They differ from porcelain fillings, and they are made with special low-temperature fusing. These ceramic options are generally biocompatible and are strong enough for long-term use. Another option for cavity infections that are very deep is the application of a composite resin, which avoids the drilling and filling process. [2013] - Nadine Artemis
