Yes, I created a thread last March since March is Colon Cancer Awareness Month.
I did nothing other than recommend that people get SCREENED.
That is, before a troll showed up.

---

So you posted medical advice on here? Interesting. I thought this wasn't the place for medical advice

---

Suggesting that people get screened for cancer is not medical advice.
It is common sense.

Have a nice day.

---

Getting screened = acquiring information.
Action that affects the body = medical advice.

Some people who like to just argue are not worth my valuable time or emotional energy.

---

You just tried to give medical advice in this very thread.

Kidney Stones | Bear Insider

---

Good call!
I simply don't read some people.

The advice for kidneys stones is remarkably simple and is a fool proof solution, but is very difficult to accomplish unless one is very disciplined. I know. I've had kidney stones. And I don't like having to pee all the time.

Drink one gallon of water every day.
This constant flushing overcomes the diets which may produce a calcium oxalate stone, a uric acid stone, etc.

Escaping to pot smoking probably inhibits one's water consumption.

You're welcome.

---

Yeah you're wrong but good try. I drink more water than anyone you know, still get kidney stones. I stick to a strict diet as well. Thank goodness you're not a doctor

I've edited the answer with a bold sentence in order to MAKE MY POINT

Does drinking one gallon of water a day prevent new kidney stone formation ?

Quote:

---

Short answer: Drinking one gallon of water per day (3.8 L) significantly reduces the risk of forming new kidney stones if it results in producing at least 2 - 2.5 liters of urine per day, which is the threshold shown to prevent stone formation. It is one of the strongest proven prevention strategies, but not a guarantee on its own.

---

Does one gallon per day prevent stones?

Yes - if it keeps your urine dilute enough.
All major medical sources agree that high fluid intake is the #1 most effective prevention method for kidney stones:

Harvard Health: Drinking enough water to produce 2 liters of urine/day reduces stone formation.
Cleveland Clinic: Recommends 96 - 110 oz/day (2.8 - 3.2 L) of fluid to prevent stones.
National Kidney Foundation: Staying wellhydrated dilutes stoneforming minerals and lowers risk. kidney.org


One gallon (128 oz / 3.8 L) is above these recommendations, so for most people it is enough to keep urine dilute - unless you sweat heavily, live in a hot climate, or have high urine solute loads.

---

Why hydration works

Kidney stones form when urine becomes concentrated enough that minerals (calcium, oxalate, uric acid) crystallize. Dilution prevents this by:

Lowering calcium and oxalate concentration
Increasing urine volume
Increasing citrate (a natural stone inhibitor)


This is why urine color is a practical indicator:

Pale yellow / clear = good
Dark yellow = too concentrated


---

But hydration alone is not always enough

Even with a gallon/day, stones can still form if you have:

High sodium intake (raises urinary calcium)
High animal protein intake (raises uric acid, lowers pH)
High oxalate intake without enough dietary calcium
Low citrate levels
Genetic predisposition
Certain medications


This is why guidelines emphasize a 24hour urine test to identify your specific risk factors. kidney.org

---

Practical target

Goal: Produce 2 - 2.5 L of urine/day
How to know: Urine should stay very light yellow all day.

For most people, this requires 2.5 - 3.5 L of fluid/day.
A gallon/day gives you a margin of safety.

---

Summary

One gallon/day is generally enough to prevent stones if it keeps urine dilute.
Hydration is the most effective single intervention, but not a complete prevention plan.
Diet (salt, protein, calcium, oxalate) and urine chemistry matter just as much.
A 24hour urine test gives personalized prevention guidance.


---

If you want, I can walk you through a personalized prevention plan based on your stone type, diet, and urine chemistry - just choose one:

calciumoxalate prevention
uricacid stone prevention
general hydration strategy

Arguments for Donald Trump's presidency being considered "great" generally center on his economic policies, reshaping of the judiciary, and disruptive approach to foreign policy. Supporters often point to several key achievements and leadership traits as evidence of his success:The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act: Signed into law in 2017, this legislation was the largest overhaul of the U.S. tax code in decades. It significantly lowered the corporate tax rate and provided tax relief to many individual taxpayers, which proponents argue stimulated economic growth and investment.Judicial Appointments: Trump appointed a historic number of conservative judges to the federal bench, including three Supreme Court justicesNeil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett. This reshaped the ideological balance of the courts, fulfilling a major promise to his base and securing a long-lasting conservative judiciary.Economic Performance: Supporters frequently highlight the economic conditions prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, including low unemployment rates (which reached historic lows for several demographics like African-American and Hispanic-American workers), steady wage growth, and record highs in the stock market.Foreign Policy and the Abraham Accords: His administration brokered the Abraham Accords, which normalized relations between Israel and several Arab nations, including the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain. Proponents view this as a historic breakthrough in Middle Eastern diplomacy.Trade Policy: Supporters credit Trump with taking a tougher stance on global trade, particularly by pushing back against China's economic practices. His renegotiation of NAFTA into the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) was praised by supporters for better protecting American manufacturing and labor interests.Deregulation: The administration made a concerted effort to roll back federal regulations, particularly in the environmental and financial sectors, arguing that this reduced red tape and fostered a more business-friendly environment.Political Disruption: Admirers view his norm-breaking behavior and unfiltered communication style as strengths. To his supporters, these traits demonstrated that he was an outsider fighting the political establishment and prioritizing the working classan "America First" approach they felt had long been missing in Washington.

Hey, good for you! Research!!

You see, if people could bother to do similar research they would learn that kidney stones can pretty much universally be stopped by drinking 1 gallon of water daily, that compliments lead to smiles which leads to a longer life, that Donald Trump is a very dangerous person who tried to execute a quiet coup d'etat that was defeated by the actions of the very stupid people he himself brought to the Capitol to help execute his plan, that he illegally enriches himself at the expense of all of us, that he….. oh, never mind….we have 2000 other threads presenting said research.

Too bad it would've changed your life

The Federal government can accomplish things even when it has leaders who are disabled or have psychological disorders. Willson, Reagan (later years), Biden (later years), Eisenhower (he experienced a massive heart attack (1955), a serious bout of Crohn's disease requiring surgery (1956), and a stroke (1957), and while he did not officially step down he spent significant periods recovering and not working), Garfield spent 80 days lingering after being shot. But even the Trump administration, despite all its disfunction has had achievements. So I guess it comers down to the overall direction the President or the President's people are taking the country. I think the majority of people would prefer more moderation, but that is not what the two parties are selling.

The Democratic Party is not doing itself any favors by aligning itself with socialist candidates. Its preoccupation with soon to be lame duck Trump when there is any criticisms of any problems in Dem run states (see the CA governor's race) isn't going to cut it with voters in the long run. Trump is gone very soon. The Dems need some realization why they lost to Trump and why they don't hold a majority in any branch of the federal government. As I have to keep saying, the voters elected Trump twice and Biden margin in the electoral college was a small one bu historical standards. By electoral standards Trump's 2024 vote was in the top-third, and he won popular vote only by about 2% more than Harris per the BBC, which apparently is not an overwhelming mandate, but should resonate because Biden had 4.5% more of the popular vote, so that is a big 6.5% swing.

The US election is really 50 state-by-state races rather than a single national one. You need to look at polls in specific states to see how Trump is doing, and his rankings have fallen, but not as bad as one might think by looking at national data.

The Democratic party needs to come up with some leaders who are electable on a national basis, because they are not facing Trump in 2028. They just can't keep saying Trump in response to substantive concerns as to where progressives and socialist policies are taking jurisdictions where those candidates have a free hand to institute policy. I appreciate that Newsom is trying to evolve into a national candidate, but he is going to be haunted by what progressive policies have done to the State in terms of affordability, housing, exodus of business, huge budget shortfalls that he has tried to hide by accounting gimmicks, crime in urban areas, and infrastructure, utility and insurance failures, that are not necessarily his fault, but his failure to reign in labor and progressive interests in yhis State.

I don't really know much about Rubio's polciies, and I'm not sure what Vance's polciies are as they seem malleable. But I don't want another 4 years of Trumpism and self-dealing and abuse (see Tom's post), bur it seems like that is what we will get (maybe absent the personality weirdness) if the Democrats can't get their act together and stop moving towards socialism.

I'll support your thread.

Partial list of damage Trump has caused to our country:

Democratic Institutions: Critics frequently point to his efforts to challenge the 2020 election results, his role in the January 6th insurrection, and his public undermining of the judicial and intelligence systems.

Watchdog groups have heavily scrutinized allegations of conflicts of interest and unprecedented corruption.

Foreign Relations: Observers note that his unilateral approach to global issues, trade disputes, and questioning of traditional security alliances (like NATO) have alienated longtime democratic allies and weakened U.S. global influence.

Economic Policy: Economists and business organizations argue that his sweeping trade wars and unilateral tariffs have led to higher inflation, disrupted supply chains, and placed a heavier financial burden on the average American family.

Federal Management: Critics cite a severe hollowing out of institutional knowledge through the politicization of civil service roles, the dismantling of agencies such as USAID, and massive executive turnover as major harm to government effectiveness.

Immigration & Human Rights: Human rights organizations have strongly condemned actions such as family separations at the border, policies limiting the right to asylum, and plans for mass deportations, citing violations of human dignity and international law.

Environmental Rollbacks: Environmental groups argue that his sweeping rollbacks of clean energy initiatives and environmental regulations have actively worsened climate change and jeopardized U.S. competitiveness in future sustainable technologies.

Partial listing of Trump's corruption during his second term:

Business Expansion: Trump has expanded his real estate and business holdings. The Trump Organization continues to develop and operate international properties, creating pathways for foreign governments and state officials to patronize his establishments.

Digital Grift: The Trump family has launched and heavily promoted various digital assets, cryptocurrency ventures (such as World Liberty Financial), and merchandise. Watchdogs argue these initiatives monetize his political influence.

Property Visits & Events: Special interest groups, foreign dignitaries, and political committees routinely hold events at Trump-owned properties and golf courses.

Pay-to-Play AccusationsWatchdog groups describe the administration's approach as openly transactional, citing a "pay-to-play" relationship between the presidency and major donors.

Appointments & Access: Critics allege that large-dollar political contributors and loyalists have been rewarded with ambassadorships, Cabinet-level positions, and regulatory advisory roles.

Lobbying and Policy Favors: Major corporate donors and special interests have gained direct access to policymakers, allegedly resulting in policy changes, regulatory rollbacks, and dropped federal investigations.

Clemency and Justice System AbusesThe presidential pardon power has been a major point of contention during Trump's second term. Critics and legal scholars, such as those at the Campaign Legal Center, argue that the clemency process has been transformed into a loyalty-based transactional tool.

Donor & Ally Pardons: Pardons and commutations have been granted to political allies, January 6th defendants, and prominent corporate figures or former government officials convicted of corruption and financial crimes.

Dismantling Ethics and Accountability Structures

The administration has faced criticism for systematically weakening longstanding ethical guardrails and anti-corruption safeguards.

Oversight: The removal and reassignment of several Inspectors General and independent officials has raised concerns about reduced capacity to investigate waste, fraud, and abuse.

Dismantling Integrity Units: The administration sidelined the Department of Justice's Public Integrity Section, which traditionally investigates and prosecutes political corruption.

Deregulation & Conflict of InterestObservers have highlighted inherent conflicts of interest regarding key appointments and administrative actions.

Regulatory Rollbacks: Key regulatory and enforcement agencies have seen their enforcement capabilities severely limited, particularly within the crypto and financial sectors, as well as the corporate sector more broadly.

Self-Policing: Several political appointees and advisors with extensive private portfolios in defense, energy, and tech have been allowed to shape federal policy in areas directly tied to their own commercial interests.

Trump's misuse of DOJ

Prosecution of Political Rivals: Critics and former DOJ officials argue that Trump has pressured the DOJ to launch investigations and indictments against his perceived political and legal opponents, such as former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James.

Targeting Accusers: The DOJ launched a criminal investigation into E. Jean Carrollthe woman who successfully sued Trump for sexual abuse and defamationover allegations of perjury regarding the funding of her civil lawsuits. Critics have pointed to this as a clear example of the president utilizing federal powers to settle private scores.

Disbanding and Purging the Department: Following his inauguration for his second term, the Trump administration engaged in a massive overhaul of the DOJ. This included the dismissal of prosecutors involved in the January 6th investigations, as well as the reassignment or firing of numerous career officials, ethics professionals, and leadership staff across the Civil Rights and Public Integrity sections.

The "Anti-Weaponization Fund": The DOJ settled a private $10 billion lawsuit brought by Trump against the IRS and established a nearly $1.8 billion fund designed to compensate political allies who claim they suffered "weaponization and lawfare" by the government. Critics have condemned this as an unprecedented and unlawful use of taxpayer money.

Trump Mishandling of Iran Military Conflict

Following his return to the presidency, Trump ordered joint U.S.-Israeli military strikes against Iran on February 28, 2026, launching an open war aimed at destroying Iran's nuclear and military infrastructure. The conflict has faced extensive domestic and international backlash.

No Consultation or Coalition: Former National Security Advisor John Bolton and congressional leaders criticized Trump for launching major combat operations without building an international coalition, consulting allies, or securing prior authorization from Congress.

Severe Economic Fallouts: Trump reportedly believed Iran lacked the capability to close the crucial Strait of Hormuz. However, Iran blocked the waterway immediately, paralyzing maritime traffic, forcing a U.S. naval blockade, and driving up global energy prices.

Shifting Objectives and Timelines: Critics slam the administration's messaging as erratic. Trump initially claimed the war would be won within "four to five weeks" and repeatedly stated that Iran's military was entirely "crushed". However, U.S. intelligence later revealed that Iran retained substantial underground missile capabilities, and the White House's rationale continually shifted between enforcing a regime change and merely degrading military assets.
