Japan's CUTEST cat in glittering crystal decorates NEC Corp.'s new pink laptop in the Japanese electronics maker's latest EFFORT to woo working women.

The La Vie G Hello Kitty model, available for $1,650 by Internet order only in Japan, went on sale Wednesday, and has gotten off to a good start, company spokesman Shinya Hashizume said Thursday, while declining to give numbers.

"PC users now tend to be men, but we're HOPING to attract women with this product," he said.

The laptop, developed in collaboration with Sanrio Co., the Tokyo-based company behind Hello Kitty, uses 299 Swarovski crystals to depict four hearts and the bubbly feline head wearing a pink bow and crown.

NEC is hoping to sell several hundred of the Hello Kitty laptops in the next few MONTHS, targeting the summertime when Japanese workers receive their twice-a-year bonuses, Hashizume said.

The laptop, which comes with a Windows Vista operating system, 100 gigabyte hard disk drive and 1 gigabyte memory, is being advertised as a laptop that's "dazzling and gorgeous like a jewelry box."

Hello Kitty has been popular for years with children and young women, but the cat has begun to appear on electronic gadgets, guitars and expensive jewelry.

There's even a Hello Kitty Barbie, who wears a belt, necklace and jacket with the image of the celebrity mouthless cat.

Solve : this movie is going to Rock !?

Answer»

saw a trailer of this movie this morning (release DATE  July 4th) , I think this is going to be a BIG HIT!    "the Transformers"

Remember the mid-'80s cartoon show about two dueling GROUPS of robots — the heroic Autobots and the evil Decepticons — with the power to transform into CARS, jets, helicopters, motorcycles, and such? Well, they're coming to the big screen in this live-action adaptation

http://movies.go.com/photogallery?id=876307&page=3&ad=&genre=actionI don't go to a lot of movies but,I'm going to this one.

YooHoo!!I agree, can't wait looks good. I try to not psych myself up too much because I tend to be disappointed every time I do that. For those who have not SEEN the trailer it's on YouTube.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZp75fWe-ssYeh, I've seen that trailer at the movies before. Look like it's gonna rule.

Finally, a Transformers movie that is actually good!

Solve : Can you eat french fries using a computer to cook it?????

Answer»

After reading a website,I am very curious to know that can a computer  fried french fries?this belongs in a different forum.

Its done VIA a USB port  Cooking, or just keeping them warm? To cook would need more current than 1 USB port can give. Here is a BBQ beef cooker which uses the power of 30 USB ports, via 6 PCI USB cards.



Wow, that's awesome!Haha, random.

"Hey mom, are we using the HOT pot do cook dinner tonight?"
"No DEAR, we're using the computer"That's utterly ridiculous...




Where can I GET one?Here's a page by the builder, it's all in Japanese

Solve : Good computer chair not unimportant?

Answer»

Dudes, what do you park your *censored* on when you're using your primary computer?  Yesterday, I finally decided my old chair had to go and I went to Staples and bought a chair.  Here's what I got:


The chair was a CLEARANCE item, so the price was reduced to $60.

Now, my *censored* is happier, and so in my back.thats great news.. i need a new chair tooI COULD perhaps use a new chair, but I like this one (read: I'm too tight to spend money on a chair)
It was free from the guy across the road.I think a Lazy Boy recliner would make my *censored* more comfortable.
Maybe with a screen on the ceiling and on the desk, that way, if I want to recline, I can do it without having to STRAIN my neck and eyes to see the screen. Just look up. and I guess the keyboard would have to be on a swivel tray of some sort.
Speakers mounted by the ears.
... oh and a sub in the seat so it feels like a get a massage.
and while I'm dreaming.... never mind, I'm done....I have a laptop, so I go wherever.
Right now, I am sitting in a study room chair, its kind of like a winged chair, but the winged part is folded inwards... (Not sure what they are called)

It does not recline or anything, but it works...
My chair is just a chair....
It has an adjustable back so I can lean back when i'm tired or waiting for something to load or something.I just have a bog-standard "leather" office chair. Does the job. Although, the lazy boy is an interesting idea... mines a fold up lawn chair w/ cup holdersI'm a BIG fan of mesh type chairs, they're very comfortable and they breath. I've had SEVERAL other chairs and one of my biggest complaints was always that I'd get sweaty / uncomfortable after sitting in the chair for several hours. I couldn't seem to find a picture of my exact chair but there are several examples of these types of chairs at.

http://www.bizchair.com/meshchairs.html

Having adjustable back lumbar support is also a nice feature. Staples had one or more of the mesh-type chairs and I was tempted to get one.  It seemed comfortable and I thought about the cooling benefit of the air flow that you mentioned.  Making a final decision was difficult.  They had many models of chairs and, of course, they all feel a little, or a lot, different. 

That visit to Staples on June 6 was not the first time I had looked at chairs.  But, I was really getting fed up with the old chair.  The underlying seat cushion material (presumably a foam type material) had lost it's elasticity, so sitting on it felt almost like sitting on a board.  It felt hard.  The new chair has a higher back, with better lumbar support than the old chair.  The chair back actually COMES up to about shoulder level when I'm sitting in it.

I looked at one chair in the store which had unique features, features which I think more chairs should have.  It had three handles on the right side under the seat, whereas most chairs had one.  One of those handles could be used to adjust the tilt angle of the chair back.  And, I believe another one allowed the user to adjust the tilt of the seat.  This just makes good sense, doesn't it?  How many years now have car featured adjustable seats?  I doubt there's a single car made today that does not have adjustable seat backs.

I use multiple FF windows ocasionally - how about if you need to look at an email and a web page at the same time?
Can't do that with tabs.

I definitely take full ADVANTAGE of tabs, I'm always begging and pleading with people that don't use tabs to start. The reason I have multiple Firefox windows open is because one window is always a media player window, for listening to online music (opens in a new window and is not full screen, could be tabbed but like having it available when I want to skip to next soung). The other two windows each had 7+ tabs open in each of them. One is usually a work window or in progress window and the other is general browsing and other stuff to do. I usually work with two windows because I don't like having 20+ tabs open, although often still happens even with multiple windows.

Thanks for the information Kip, was just curious.

Nice to see some non Microsoft Windows desktops Johnk, your UBUNTU DESKTOP looks good.

Nice to see a Vista desktop too Zylstra, looks good. I like that wallpaper.

Here is mine. The reason for the desktop clutter is that I download lots of programs from Giveawayoftheday. I actually really never use most of them.

Also, so I won't have to answer this later, the little box in bottom right-hand-corner of the desktop is a cool little program called RUBBER Ducky.

My humble apologies to Zylstra for helping in the
off topic spam of his off topic.-->Before you DIS Vista.

Sorry,Zylstra it's PeckerWoods fault=Weak defense.Sorry for the delayed response, I have not been checking my email.

A few weeks ago, I would have believed that any COMPUTER would keep it possible to downgrade to XP without any problems, until a CH member posted a topic about it.

He claimed that he was unable to run XP correctly, since some of the hardware in his computer did not have an XP driver.

Most manufacture OEM's will not supply a full list of compatible drivers available for all operating systems. (since they are cheap and stuck up)
If you go to the manufacturer of the hardware itself, a lot of the times, they will not help you with getting the compatible driver, since the OEM has in their contract that all support be directed to them. (Yes, I happen to be talking about the jerks down at DELL)

Now, this does not mean that its impossible to get it to WORK, but it does not mean that its compatible.

From awsome selection of Xbox Live Enabled Games to Xbox live arcade and chatting with friends it's all fun! Being able to shoot off a guys head in GOW (Guy happens to be playing in Korea) Makes Xbox live worth while.
There aint nothing fun by having to fork over £40 just to be able to be able to play other real people.

ChrisThats a choice your going to have to make the 40 dollars gives you access to downlaoding game demos, gamerpics, themes etc plus it pays for the servers that you have to go into. Look at all the games there so many servers! Plus what do you expect you have to pay to play good things now.. "World of Warcraft"!Thats the thing though! For you lot in the States it's $40, for us in the UK it's £40, plus you get way more content then us. So were paying more, for less. Microsoft are robbing us blind. As for paying for the demo's you get them FREE on a Silver account. Servers are user made, Microsoft don't create the servers, we do, and if im honest most of the servers are filled with 10 year OLDS who just don't shut up and constantly keep singing down the microphone. And im quite happy with my current theme (that carbon one with the background of me and some lasses). If Sony can provide it for free with the PS3, then why cant Microsoft, who lets face it, are alot more well off them Sony.
 Though I will agree with you that when there isn't all these 5 year olds, and you do find a decent server, it can be fun. However when I had my months free trial I went on once or twice with like 4 of my mates, and now their all banned

ChrisWell it seems like 6 million users don't really care about the cost so leave it at that. If you wanna play people in the states or canada join. If you don't then don't easy as that..Great point that Chris made about 10 year olds...
I may have been 10 at one point in my life, but my goodness! They flood the world these days!

40$ for a network connection? Thats a lot!
More than my 100MBPS FiberOptic internet connection!

From what I have found, Demos dont tend to be all that great. They tend to leave a lot out, since its a demo....
I cant afford the games anyhow. It's $40 a year. Plus. Theres also a feature called "Mute" Learn it and Love it!Oh, a year, I thought it was a month!
(Silly me)

I guess it would be interesting

Nevertheless, I dont think I like the idea of chat.

No because on most servers i might as well turn off all my speakers..... Live is swarming with spoilt brats. When i had my free trial, im not lying, one family had a domestic argument over it whilst there was a full server of who was gonna pick up the kids from their friends house. Thats how pathetic it is. Anyway i don't go on my 360 enough as it is to invest in live, and when your saving up for Leeds Fest tickets, £40 is alot.

ChrisIf some people don't want to mute every ne you could also just put your headset in turn the volume down either put the head set on or let it sit somewhere the cord is long enough.. Just my suggestions. I have not yet experienced "Buying" live. I just get lucky with my 13 Month Free Pass!. Plus another 3 Months Free. "I" know now when my live runs out "I" will be buying more. "I" Enjoy it to death. I love the aspect of playing people all over the world. And "I" rarely encounter an annoying person. some people may and automaticly think "Live Sucks". Get over it. "I" find that for SOMEONE who would have to pay for it, it is worth the money.. Anyways Stealth out!I play on Xbox Live but lately I have taken a break. It's getting old it's a slow time right now.. Summer is always so SLOW....

Solve : Netted whale hit by lance a century ago ( neat story!)?

Answer»

Wound allows researchers to age 50-ton creature at about 115 years old

  BOSTON - A 50-ton bowhead whale caught off the Alaskan coast last month had a weapon fragment embedded in its neck that showed it survived a similar hunt — more than a century ago.

Embedded deep under its blubber was a 3½-inch arrow-shaped projectile that has given researchers insight into the whale’s age, estimated between 115 and 130 years old.

“No other finding has been this precise,” said John Bockstoce, an adjunct curator of the New BEDFORD Whaling Museum.

 Calculating a whale’s age can be difficult, and is usually gauged by amino acids in the eye lenses. It’s rare to find one that has LIVED more than a century, but experts say the oldest were close to 200 years old.

The whale, which was nearly half a football field long, had a bomb lance fragment lodged a bone between its neck and shoulder blade. The fragment was likely manufactured in New Bedford, on the southeast coast of Massachusetts, a major whaling center at that time, Bockstoce said.

It was probably shot at the whale from a heavy shoulder gun around 1890. The small metal cylinder was filled with explosives fitted with a time-delay fuse so it would explode seconds after it was shot into the whale. The bomb lance was meant to kill the whale immediately and prevent it from escaping.

The device exploded and probably INJURED the whale, Bockstoce said.

“It probably hurt the whale, or annoyed him, but it hit him in a non-lethal place,” he said. “He couldn’t have been that bothered if he lived for another 100 years.”

The whale harkens back to far different era. If 130 years old, it would have been born in 1877, the year Rutherford B. Hayes was sworn in as president, when federal Reconstruction troops withdrew from the South and when Thomas Edison unveiled his NEWEST invention, the phonograph.

The 49-foot male whale died when it was shot with a similar projectile last month, and the older device was found buried beneath its blubber as hunters carved it with a chain saw for harvesting.

Hahaha, I know... I remember my very first computer only had 12MB of RAM. Think it was an intel 486 CPU (not sure if thats an actual CPU but that number rings a bell) basically a typewriter with graphics.Heh

I dont remember what our first computer ran at, but our second computer was a 4MHz IBM with 2MB RAM

Solve : SPAMMING!!!!!!!!!?

Answer» I think these notifications are an awesome thing. I've been a member of other forums who would just kill your account, sometimes just bc they didn't like you.... but the kind, caring folks here at CH are a bit more sensible (btw, for those of you with a warped sense of sarcasm... this isn't sarcasm.) ... i voted anyway Think this would get more views and participation if it was in the Off topic section, moving this thread there..Personally, I don't think I've ever spammed a forum.
Having had it done to me, I know it's not nice and just results in extra work.
I've never had a spam notification or a warning of any kind on any forum so far.
I'm a good boy . . .I'm a good boy too.  Mostly.  I've been banned from plenty of chat rooms, but I can't think of any forums I was banned from.  Well, I was banned from the Spawn message board for about a week for making a banner of Steve Hamady (a McFarlane employee) with the caption "Got BC?" (BC = Birth Control)  He took offense because he thought I was referring to his children.  When I explained to him that I actually meant that his parents should've used birth control, he unbanned me.  And that's my story.I think i'll start visiting you're chat rooms CHRIS and see what you've been up to...


 Heh, I'm really not so bad these days.  But I could quite troublesome when I was younger.  I remember when one girl was on 50/50 or 60 Minutes because she was abused or something and she made a teen community site (it had "goose" or "duck" in the name, I believe).  This was back before even Friendster.  For some reason, it really upset me, so I found her site and trolled the chat rooms until they banned the *censored* out of me.hopefully i havent spammed a forum/topicI have never spammed a forum but,I have been a
little looney at times and posted spam.

This caused an administrator friend of MINE to swat
me like a fly but,he is still my friend.

So.......

This is my kind of SPAM



And theres lots of ways to deal with it.

SPAM Recipesmmmmmmmmm  Mmmm.... Spam Hot and Spicy!Ok 1st of SPAM is a nasty meat yuk haha , and 2nd i opened my own forum not to long ago on proboards , it was so i could make my own forum for a game i really love , and i got a fair amount of hits , untill a spammer comes in clamming to be DACA the admin from www.shockplay.com , saying hes going to plug my site and have it put all over shockplay at 1st i was a FOOL for this guy on top of the world in fact  then i was CHECKING i-ps one day in the admin area only to find , he was joined with 2 names DACA AND llcoolj so i banned both i-ps then he used this site http://pzoomer.com/ to gain access even though i banned him , my forum has been dead for a while due to him coming and going when he pleases, so a few people have set off in a hunt for this guy , and when they find the critcal information they need the guys going down hard ...... He must of posted 25 diffrent threads in my forum and he actually got replys from my members which was anoying because they had joined , under the impression it was a safe site , now i cnt do anything with my site untill i know hes out the picture.

and yet you can open five to six different threads all about the same computer, and yet almost none of the threads make any progress till the third page, where discussion inevitably turns to your ambiguous descriptions of the problem, because you assume everybody read all your threads and just RANDOMLY post new information into a random one of your open threads.

Solve : How many computers do you have WORKING??

Answer»

actually THERES since in that. all the version of windows, up to the Win NT family of OS's were based upon DOS. Windows NT, 2K, XP ,and Vista arent based on dos which makes it self-realiant. Win ME was the last OS to be based upon DOS(16-bit)I thought that where all dos based?  Well Learning as I go.no The NT(INCLUDING NT x.x, 2000, XP, Vista) family of OS's where the first to be self-reliant without the need for DOS.

If you dont know DOS, you dont know Windows....

Thats why Bill Gates created the Windows NT Family.

(i changed it)

If you knew about DOS then all the Windows version up to Win ME were second nature since all the were were fancy GUI's that MADE DOS easier to use without even having to type stuff on the command prompt. Once Windows NT came out, it was a whole new world since the NT family was 32bit compared with the 16/32bit hybrid of the old Windows versions.

(This is all from wikipedia.)
 ...It was intended to complement consumer versions of Windows that were based on MS-DOS. NT was the first FULLY 32-bit version of Windows, whereas its consumer-oriented counterparts, Windows 3.1x and Windows 9x, were 16-bit/32-bit hybrids. Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, Windows Home Server, and Windows Server 2008 are based upon the Windows NT system, although they are not branded as Windows NT...

Solve : Good Bye World Of Warcraft.?

Answer»

Well everything has to come to a end , and blizzards fantastic game world of warcraft has finally ended for me , reaching the top level and getting the best gear for my class as possbile , Ive now got nothing to do . So i just sold my wow account to a close FRIEND who i played with . Now I'm STARTING Age of Conan - Hyborian Adventures the game is amazing . 

I just thought i would tell you all wow addicts do have some self control over there life's

Roll on Age of Conan !!! *The other players will quit for this game they just dont know it yet*  

So far Age of Conan is a fantasic game !

I quit WOW long ago after getting GM and finding Blizzard was changing it after I took the time to get it. I tried Conan and honestly wasn't that impressed with it. Granted it was beta when I tried it out. Personally I've been having a lot more fun with Warhammer online beta. Fantastic PVP and RVR.You know, I played the older version of World of Warcraft, and it was an okay game. I was NEVER overly impressed.

The only game I have ever been sucked into was The Sims 1 and 2. I tend to play the Sims 2 more when I am out of school...

EDIT: Now that I think about it, The Sims and WoW have a bit in common, they are both world simulation games (well.. moreover, the Sims is a single house simulation, but, still. DIRECT character control)

Control freaks! Quote

Fantastic PVP and RVR.

PVP = Player Vs. Player

What is RVR?   REALM vs. Ream. Think of it as world PVP with objectives that affect the overall game. If you're familiar with WOW it's not like the PVP mini games that you join but kind of like how it was on PVP servers at Hillsbrad before they started doing the mini PVP games.I hate WoW i got to lvl 61 but it was pretty boring i play FrugooscapeI still like WoW. I've played it since launch and I still play it  Never got into WOW. I liked Sioms A LOT when I was little. I still play a bit, not so much though.

Solve : Post a pic of your desktop?

Answer»

Guys can you not make your images a bit smaller! 

Heres mine (which ACTUALLY doesnt make me scroll the SEE):



Hey Soviet Genius, I bet you went through a lot of trouble cleaning off the desk before taking the picture.  Normally I would have, but there was a surprisingly small AMOUNT of crap on the desk for unexplainable reasons so I just shoved it to the SIDE far enough to provide sufficient access to my keyboard and MOUSE.  Nice setup

Solve : Opinion of macs?

Answer»

Just wanted to get some general OPINIONS on macs .Macs don't impress me because they're so expensive, and seem to me to be more "STYLE" than substance.
Style impresses me not at all, I prefer more functional-looking things to flashier ones so Macs immediately get a MINUS score there, as does the Mac OS.
I can't say I have extensive experience with them which is why I'm indifferent.
I wouldn't have one myself, but I'm not a rabid Apple hater.I'm indifferent to them. Mac OSX is a stable OS and can be very useful.
But if you made the poll about Mac users, I would have a different OPINION. Pretty much the same as Calum.

Just like Vista, I don't care about it's graphics and effects, I just want it to work.

There is also software compatibility issues.Epic waste of money.... buy a PC for half the price of a mac with the same specs, plus you get to play games. I saw this hillarious pic on the internet some time ago, linux was an AK-47, windows was a desert eagle, and mac was something inappropriate *cough* and it said choose your weapon.  Actually, some test show that windows xp runs better on a mac than a pc.

Ahh yes, I know exactly what you mean. They can be completely WRONG, but still insist on being right about something, or make some lame excuse.


Actually, come to think of it, a Mac is really just an overpowered version of those little play laptops that used to be popular when I was a kid.

The difference between pig [email protected]%T, movies, music and software  is pig [email protected]%t can be composted.

Are you saying that because "movies, music and software" are "pig [email protected]%T" you want them? And how does that make it free? Last time I checked hog manure cost money, so I don't see how such an analogy would stand.



If you can't afford car, that doesn't entitle you to steal it, and don't try to retort with some REAL pig [email protected]%T about how software is any different. Maybe it is, but not according to the law. So although pirates everywhere can try to justify themselves as being in the right by making up excuses about outrageous pricesor how software should be free or how hard it is to find a store that sells it or how important it is that you have that 30k$ 3d modelling program for no reason, it won't make a difference as to the legality of the matter. Given, they seem to be having trouble enforcing it, what with the cowardly nature of pirates everywhere (unlike REAL pirates, who will actually draw their SWORDS and fight a vessel that is set to capture them, software pirates hide on an "island"(country with more lax enforcement) until the sea is clear, and then send out a torrent throughout the sea.

Here is part of my canned speech for file sharing programs.

It is also important to note that sharing entertainment files and proprietary software
infringes the copyright laws in many countries over the world and you are putting yourself at risk of being indicted through ORGANIZATIONS watching over the rights of the authors of such files (i.e. the RIAA for music files, or the MPAA for movie files in the USA) or the authors of the files themselves.

Solve : The Best Video Game Vehicle :)?

Answer»

Mine would have to be Rex from MGS1 + MGS4


Nuclear-capable walking tank Metal Gear REX

The awesome blimp-ish thing I made in GMOD.

Garys Mod is ONE of the most satisfying games i have ever played.I have to say the best vehicle of movement in any game is Yoshi. Some might not call him a vehicle, and I'd have to partially agree, but I really just had to insert a RETRO game into this thread somehow.

lol yeah- I mean, can any of the other vehicles simply eat the enemies? I mean, sure, they can vaporize them or fill them with led or what have you, but do they put on the facade of a cute and innocent looking yoshi? No, most are obviously machines for DESTRUCTION. an enemy sees you coming on a giant killer robot, their gonna run, you come into town on a small green lizard, their just gonna laugh, at least until the lizard eats them.

I tried looking at Super Mario World objectively the other day, and it started feeling much darker. I mean, Bowser never actually killed anybody, and yet Mario and Luigi in their quest to "get to know" the princess, are killing all these goombas and koopas, that for all we know are just on their WAY to work. and then there's yoshi, I mean, you eat a koopa, and you spit out an empty shell- I can imagine yoshi sucks out the delicious koopa from inside it. All to the tune of happy music.my favorite would have to be my rocket-firing, flying warthog in halo 2.I'd say a Chocobo from final fantasy. I've always had this odd fantasy to do with riding a chicken, i figure it's the closest i'll ever get. Quote from: BC_Programmer on July 09, 2008, 03:52:07 PM

But in a fight to the death. 

Edit:
The Metal Gear REX has near-impenetrable compound armor, a pair of vulcan cannons, anti-tank missiles, and a free-electron laser, and the ability to attack by kicking or ramming, to protect itself from conventional forces. Its primary weapon, however, is a magnetic railgun capable of delivering an untraceable nuclear warhead anywhere in the world, without the propellant trail or launch flare that gives away the launch position of a traditional ballistic missile.

The cell phone law has been around here (in s.a ) for a few YEARS, and we all got the email about the new hands free kit. It's REALLY funny.

In SA you are not allowed to EAT, drink (water) or smoke while DRIVING. They say that all these things can destract you. Every one has to suffer because of the taxi drivers (they are nothing like the taxis in USA).


I think its normal to get council clearance for a permanent structure.
Otherwise people here would build eye sores.If they can't pass a law that requires TURNING off the ringer in a movie house they shouldn't be able to write this one....

thank you  Quote from: ephemeridos on August 27, 2009, 03:11:57 PM

wow!!! thanks for this article. you don't know how happy i am right now. i've done many researches on my own and this is an INFROMATION that i have needed. i'm suffering from HT an autoimmune disorder. hopefully they can cure it the same way as MS. i was reading recently that all autoimmune disroders occure in tymus that is a lung gland and an important part of the lymph system.

i need to talk with my doctor about this. lol

You're most welcome...Good Luck Quote from: Karnac on August 12, 2009, 05:59:58 PM
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/08/090811143725.htm
I know a few people with MS, so I'm glad to know about this research.  thank you karnac. this article explains a bit more http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/10/071009071117.htm

many years ago, when i was diagnosed with HT, NON of the doctors would clarify me about my illness. that reminded me on the movie "Lorenzo's Oil". I was encouraged by the efforts of Lorenzo's parents to do quite the same - to educate myself. i started to research both HT and ALD. at one point i stopped to read about ALD as i thought it's not the same illness. Last year, when Lorenzo DIED I started to search more on ALD. Something inside of me has forced me to do so. i found out about the myelin project founded by his father and there i found more information about related disorders. when i was reading about MS i have found the connection to my disorder. the key-word was - antibodies. in this article it explains how natural human antibodies made through genetical engineering can cure the myelin in mices without any side effects.
it frightens me now that i was thinking the same - how abut to use antibodies inspite sinthetic hormons to cure my illness. the thought came when learning that my antibodies have a failure in FUCTION and can not recognize my own cells and how it would be to replace them with healthy antibodies. the sinthetic hormons that i use every morning are just a substitue for the natural hormons insuficience that can not be produced by the thyroid but they are no cure for the illness itself.

that should be the process which could cure the HT too. i would love to talk with a specialist and would even agree to be the first human to test the therapy. i wish to find contact to the specialists that already work on this experiment.

since i was diagnosed with diabetes last year, my selfcreated diet based on rapeseed oil with fetty-acids, i have lost 20lbs in few months. the rapeseed oil that i use is not of the same quality as Lorenzo's oil but it was still effectful.if you could remove the .......  an add a protein chain.  I forgot I had it..... ><
