Dutch Lipid: Fill & Download for Free

The EU is sourcing from within its member states - there was never any reliance on the UK to produce substantial stock for continental Europe.Apart from actually designing, testing, and approving the Oxford/Jenner vaccine that is now being produced by the Anglo-Swedish AstraZeneca.And helping out the Dutch and Belgian plants to get their processes optimized.And supplying the lipid carrier for the mRNA vaccines from BioNTech and Moderna.In eternal gratitude, the EU member states have trashed the reputation of both the Oxford vaccine and AstraZeneca and cast aspersions on the UK as a supposed ‘supplier’ to the EU.AZ’s UK plant was mentioned as an aside in the August Terms of Supply Agreement between the company and the EU, but it was never a primary production site and, in any case, the priority for the UK plant was determined by AZ’s May 2020 agreement with the UK Government, which gave it first call on the initial 100 million doses to come out of Oxford and Keele.The UK got its contracts tied down and the EU made a sloppy mess of the same process. It’s no more complicated than that.The EU was also late to the show, being more concerned with price and legal liability than actually protecting its citizens.The EU will not be relying on the UK and the reverse will also be true, not just for the UK but the whole world. Companies located within the EU have now become unreliable sources of supply for critical materials and no-one will be placing their trust in Europe as a sole supplier anymore.

You’ve “heard” wrong.Coal is fossilized plant material deposited during the 80 million year period between the time plants evolved lignin—the protein that gives wood its mechanical strength—and bacteria and fungi evolved the ability to break it down at scale. Now that that particular cat’s out of the bag, there will never again be any large scale production of new coal deposits on Earth.Oil and gas are the remains of lipids (fats) grown by marine plankton in the ancient sea and deposited on the sea bed when they died. Such remains are only converted into oil and gas reserves under special conditions, and those conditions are rare in the modern ocean. In addition, such deposits can only survive under certain conditions—notably they cannot survive exposure to temperatures and/or pressures above a certain point, and this sets a more or less fixed limit to the maximum age they can have.Small quantities of methane (natural gas) may also arise from remnants of the primordial planetary nebula from whence Earth formed, having been trapped in some form in the mantle ever since, but this is unlikely to be more than a trace. Globally, volcanoes contribute only 0.2% of atmospheric methane, and most of this is from ancient biological sources—i.e., natural gas. There are some geophysical sources of methane, but these cannot account for more than the tiniest traces of the gas in our atmosphere.Over the years, several individuals (and a few investors) have put forth various theories for abiogenic petroleum, either theorizing it can be made in quantity by geochemical means or preserved from geologically ancient extraterrestrial sources. All efforts to find reserves based on these ideas have failed—because they are patently absurd and fly in the face of known chemistry.Fossil fuels are just that: ancient solar energy trapped in living cells long ago, and by happenstance, preserved and concentrated into fossil forms we can exploit. But as the head of drilling for Dutch Royal Shell told my wife a decade ago, in the first 100 years, we took the easy half of the petroleum supply. The hard half will be gone in the next century, and when its gone, it’s gone. We’d best be prepared.”

Better than nothing, some lifestyle modifications, none of which are high tech, but very little people seem to care about following, from Implementing Lifestyle Medicine in Hypertensive PatientsThere is a very old, very safe, very effective, and cheap very long acting waterpill available, Chlortalidone - Wikipedia, which in the Antihypertensive and Lipid-Lowering Treatment to Prevent Heart Attack Trial (ALLHAT) Study has been proven to be as good as the for more expensive other newer medsThe ALLHAT blood pressure trial found that the calcium channel blocker, ACE inhibitor, and alpha-adrenergic blocker did not work better than the diuretic to control high blood pressure and prevent stroke and some forms of heart disease, including heart attack and heart failure.We start with a low 12.5 mg/day dose, up to 25 mg/day. As for prices, according to Chlorthalidone Prices, Coupons & Patient Assistance Programs - Drugs.com most US pharmacies charge USD 27,514for 30 days supply of 25 mg tablets.This is scandalous, Dutch prices are € 3,- (about USD 3,40) for a 30 days supply.Also see https://www.quora.com/How-can-I-keep-my-blood-pressure-under-control-if-I-cant-afford-medication/answer/Liang-Hai-Sie/comment/92465492 thanks to Tim Slowinski for his comment.
