Re: [MBZ] Subject: Re: Subject: COVID-19 and Vit. D

[Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes]

While we're on the subject of Self-Cured Success Stories, I have had
intractable gastro esophageal reflux disease (GERD) for several years now.
It manifests itself and awakens me ONLY in the middle of the night.
Occasionally, if I eat 6-8 hours before bedtime, I can sleep through the
night.  I have tried ALL the obvious remedies (Pepcid, ranox, Prilosec,
etc.) to no avail.  If I get out of bed and take two Rolaids that usually
calms things down, and after 20 minutes and I usually return to sleep, but
this does not work as a preventative.  There has to be something I can do
take before I go to bed that will defeat the GERD.  Perhaps a herbal remedy?

Anyway, if anyone has experienced this I'd like to hear about it.

Mercedes content:  I sometimes fantasize about restoring my 378k mile 300TD
when trying to fall back asleep.

The fish rods I have are each 6ft long, and thread together to
make it longer as needed.  The snow markers could be really handy
for short pulls, but I also think they would be too stiff.  The
fish rods bend.  My 3/16 or so diameter ones work fine with a bend
radius of at least 1.5 ft [50 cm].  Maybe a little less.

MY 240D either never had one or it was long lost when the car came to 
me.  I have a white plastic vacuum control valve on top of the valve 
cover for the vacuum to the trans.  I got a new VCV when Q was still in 
business, maybe 15 years ago.  When it crapped out, I bought a 1/8 NPT 
brass needle valve and a couple of 1/8" hose barbs.   I replaced the VCV 
with this.  It took a while to get it adjusted to work ok with a worn 
out trans, but I was able to limit the slipping on shifts better than 
the vcv did.

I had a "new" windshield put in .. But when my installer pulled the old one out 
,there was heavy rust on the lower right jamb .  He allowed me to go over and 
treat it with 2 coats of Miracle Paint.  Then he sealed it and used my Mercedes 
OEM windshield seal that I supplied..  Voila !!  Problem solved..A few 
years back I did the same thing with the Mercedes OEM seal and it leaked again 
due to that rust spot not being treated & not aware of it.   BTW   I had a 
problem with water on passenger side due to a squirrel placing a walnut for 
storage on the drain hole right under the battery tray years ago .It's a new 
habit to check that area every winter

My father had an Austin 1100. Same as the Austin America but we are in 
Canada so they did not use the "America" name.
Great little car. Not sure of the exact year but it would have been 
about that vintage.

Dad always liked cars that made good mileage.
He wanted one of the larger version, Austin 1800 but never had one.

I did it the hard way on my old 123.190; I pulled off the entire rear axle
/ differential / suspension subframe, and then replaced ALL the bushings.
Two hard days of brutal work, but a brand-new suspension when I was done.
I had access to a nice lift on base for that job.

I did it - a lot of years ago.  I got the used arm from Atlanta
Stuttgart - which will give a clue as to how long ago it was.

I don't have any notes - but my memory is it wasn't difficult.
Possibly easier than replacing a rear wheel bearing.

of the crud having been there for an extended period of time and the finish 
below it being compromised.

It didn’t seem to affect the rest of the finish, so I’m betting that’s the case.

There was still some wheel dust residue in a few places, but for the most of it 
the stuff did seem to do the job.  I’ll continue to use and monitor it and 
report back if I find anything amiss.

Paint stripper was next, but I scraped/abraded it enough to be 
passable.  What a waste of time!   The alcohol did soften it somewhat, 
but not enough to wipe the $ hit off.

All of my recent group 49 batteries have vent tubes. I've never had a problem 
with rusted trays. The AGM batteries have vent tubes too.
About 2 months ago I bought an AGM from Advance Auto which was made in Korea 
and cost about $180. I didn't bother with the discount since I was in a hurry.
We'll see how it holds up. 

By coincidence there is a battery discussion going on at PTS (Prius Technical 
Stuff). Here is one members experience with AGM batteries:

"I bought a battery from the Toyota dealership 2 years ago for almost $300
> . It died and I am told it is a 12 month 12,000 mile battery."

Re: [MBZ] Subject: Re: 49 Battery

[Curley McLain via Mercedes]

the 49 batteries are supposed to have a vent with a tube.  I think only 
once, I got the tube when I bought a battery.  But most og the group 49 
batteries did have the vent constucted to put a tube on so the acid/gas 
can be conducted away from sheet metal.


To me the AGM batteries were not worth the $$$.  Kinda like the other 
stuff filipino boys put on the rice burners:  Mushroom air cleaners, 
neon lights under the car, coffee cans over the exhaust, jacking up one 
end or the other with air bags, etc.

Ever have a car rust out near the battery tray?
That adds up in a hurry, and it's what a sealed battery is supposed to

Well - put in a new one and see if it's fixed?  *smiles*

The battery and the starter are a system.  Either one can cause
very similar symptoms.  

A failing starter will draw more current.  So a DC ammeter that
can read more than 500 A can be used.  My note, which are not as
clear as I would like, suggest that the starter for my OM616 with
a good battery and warm weather would draw about 250 A.  Not clear
is if this was a bench test...  

If the battery is good, turn on the interior light and watch it
when cranking.  It should dim, but not go out - or nearly out.   

A weak battery or a failing starter will cause the light to go
out, or practically go out.

A bad cable or connection will cause the light to dim very little.

Or a volt meter, measuring the voltage drop along the
battery-starter cable.  This is most effective if you have a
known-good reading to compare.  I'm not finding my notes on what I
found to be "normal"...

"It probably sounds stupid, but I've had very good luck with used batteries

 Thanx Rick...Guess what?  That's exactly what I have since 8/4/17 from

this battery IS shorter than a 49I 'm holding 12.25 v plus jumper box but

Re: [MBZ] Subject: Re: Secret message for Randy

[archer75--- via Mercedes]

Results

Briefly: Being over 70, the complication rate for your GF's mom would roughly 
be 7.6% which is very low. Surprisingly the complication rate for someone less 
than 70 years would roughly be twice as much (15.1%). 

Among 574 patients with a permanent pacemaker, 259 patients (45.1%) were below 
and 315 patients (54.9%) were above or at 70 years of age. There were 240 
(92.7%) and 19 (7.3%) dual-chamber pacemaker (DDD) and single-chamber pacemaker 
(VVI) implanted patients in the younger group, and 291 (76.8%) and 73 (23.2%) 
DDD and VVI pacemaker implanted patients in the elderly group, respectively. 
The complication rate was 39 (15.1%) out of 259 young patients and 24 (7.6%) 
out of 315 elderly patients. Postprocedural complications were statistically 
lower in the elderly patients than in younger patients (P = 0.005).

Conclusion

A pacemaker implantation performed by an experienced operator is a safe 
procedure for patients of advanced age. The patients who are above 70 years old 
may have less complication rates than the younger patients.

Re: [MBZ] Subject: Re: Secret message for Randy

[Meade Dillon via Mercedes]

Well, for an anecdotal story on the other side, I was inoculated with the
flu vaccine and many many others during my military career.  I rarely get
sick with anything.  I don't know that an annual flu vaccine has made a
positive difference in my case, but they sure haven't hurt me.  Before I
started getting all the military vaccines (high school and college) I was
also very rarely sick.

Vitamin D: In our area for my family, vitamin D levels are routinely
included in blood panels, but I do agree that 'Merican medicine focuses too
much on treatment with pharma rather than preventive medicine and healthy
living.  Latest and greatest pharma seems to be what many doc's know about
and prescribe, but knowing a good pharmacist and understanding other
medicines that are cheaper and usually just as effective can help a lot.
In one case, a doc declined to even take the time to look up a medicine
that SWMBO knew of from living in Italy, so she borrowed the drug reference
book from the nurses station, looked it up herself, and then went back to
the Doc and showed him what she wanted.  He relented but was mighty upset
that his patient knew more than he and stood up to him, needless to say we
switched docs after that episode.

ListersI have NOT gotten the flu shot . Same as my sister .  we have not 
gotten sick either ..  The key is Vitamin  D...I take 5,000 to 7,000 units a 
day with two/three Vitamin K2 also . The K2[Walmart]  keeps the calcium/D from 
assimilating in the arteries...Even when I was in the hospital for my stroke 
,they tried to make me take the flu shot- refused !   I know 2 people that got 
the flu shots last year and were deathly sick for 7 days..Look up Dr 
Mercola's site and delve into Vitamin D /flu shotsBTW   If you keep your 
Vit D level above 30  you really can't get cancerDoctors have no clue about 
Vit D ...During the warm months I get my sunlight for the "D".here in PA I 
take the D supplement from Nov til March/April .  It's hard to get a doctor to 
do a Vit D level test since they are brainwashed by your friendly Pharma .   
The test is 25-HydroxyvitaminD or 25[OH]D .    My D level was 98- high because 
I spend time outdoors at the shorehouse in Ocean City,NJ  from April til 
Oct..FYI   if you spend 20 minutes with skin exposed to sunlight ...you 
receive 10,000 units of D ...it's that simple. at 67 7/8 yrs old,I must be 
doing something right since I'm playing full court serious basketball with guys 
30,40,50 & 60 yrs old !! [2 @ 73]

I stored my 1969 Austin America for 30 years at my apt parking spot 
with a

car cover when not in use[ with a waterproof tarp over the car cover]. I
said I had a garage [ I lied !] but I can always say I store it at my
brother's garage..They just want their money & usually don't follow 
up. My
insurance is with Grundy for $111 per year.I drive whenever I want 
but the
limit is 2500 miles per year . Im lucky if i put 600 + miles a year on 
since

I drive locally & to car shows.

And getting the voting age lowered to 18.

The current crop are spoiled brats who think they have to have a private 
400 sq ft or larger room in the dorm in place of sharing a rack.  These 
are the spawn of the helicopter moms and "everybody gets a trophy" 
competitive sports.   Unless they come from a farm, or their parents 
did, they have never had a job, never been responsible for anything.


Its no wonder they are willing to lay back with their an-i-fone and let 
share E a take over.  Now IF you want them to rise up, shut off their 
fones and tell em share-E-a did it!

When I was in college in the 68-72 era , we as students rose up to 
protest
many things such as the Viet Nam war among others[like getting 
drinking on
campus for the vets who came back, open dorms so we can have a girl in 
our

room,etc...] It seems to me that the millennials are a gutless bunch
[God forbid a draft !!] that should rise up to the social ills of
todayNamely Muslim refugees and all the other Sharia bullshitI 
rest my case

cause we have to be politically correct.NOT.C'mon Trump !!
