Do Angioplasty Heart Stent Procedures Work?

There are demonstrably no benefits to the hundreds of thousands of angioplasty and stent procedures performed outside of an emergency setting. They don’t prevent heart attacks, enable you to live longer, or even help with symptoms any more than placebo (fake) surgery.

This Don Day review of Soltribe is of the old Soltribe which had very limited seating, a tiny kitchen and because of the tiny kitchen, a very limited menu. They had a handful of regular items and a weekly special.

Now they have moved to the top floor of Mercado Sano where they are open 9 am - 10 pm, 7 days a week. The Grand Opening of the new space was Dec 31, 2022.

All of the food is vegan and gluten free except the sourdough bread which is vegan but not gluten free.

They now offer beer, wine, mocktails and cocktails.

You can get brunch daily until 1 pm and they still have my favorites: the Chicken N' Waffles and the Loaded Hash Browns and more great brunch selections

Their Kale Caesar Salad is fabulous as is the Italian Chopped Salad. I love the Oyster Mushroom Po Boy Sandwich and the Fried Sage Alfredo Gnocchi.

Oh, and the appetizers! The Truffle Mac N Cheese, and their Nachos are great!

There is also a wide selection of desserts.

There is still a lot we haven't tried yet but we'll be working our way through the menu.

At the moment my two favorites are the Truffle Mac N' Cheese appetizer (big enough to be an entree for one or appetizer for two) and the Loaded Hash Brown Potatoes.

As Don Day says "Everyone should go once. Vegans should go once a week."

Merry Christmas / Feliz Navidad

Update December 20, 2022: Soltribe Cuisine has moved to the top floor of Mercado Sano. They are doing a soft opening now and will open "for real" December 31. We were there today and they seemed very much open "for real" already.

I loved the old place but because of its small kitchen the menu was always very limited.

The new space is great and the new menu is fantastic. In brief, imagine the old Soltribe but with all of the weekly specials available every day. Plus they have some great salads and more dessert choices.

Brunch is served until 1 and they have all of their old brunch favorites including Chiken N Waffles and hash brown potatoes and some new great sounding items like breakfast polenta, and more.

Between the two of us we had the Truffle Mac & Cheese appetizer, an Italian Chopped Salad and the Gnocchi. Everything was delicious and the portions were large so we did get desserts, but to go.

Open 7 days a week, 10 am - 5 pm. Now open 9 am to 10 pm every day.

Update to the update: Now that we have tried the desserts the Lemon Pie is fantastic!

Carcinoma of the Lung and Tobacco Smoking: A Historical Perspective

By Michael DeBakey, MD.
Chancellor Emeritus, Olga Keith Wiess and Distinguished Service Professor of Surgery, and Director, DeBakey Heart Center, Baylor College of Medicine

... After reviewing these various theories and explanations, we focused our attention on tobacco smoking as the more reasonable and likely cause for the relatively recent increase in this disease, to a large extent because of our observation that virtually all the patients with this disease whom we studied, with the exception of two women, had been heavy cigarette smokers for more than two decades. We first made this connection in our article published in 1939: “In our opinion the increase in smoking with the universal custom of inhaling is probably a responsible factor, since inhaled smoke, constantly repeated over a long period of time, undoubtedly is a source of chronic irritation to the bronchial mucosa” ...

I was asked recently by a media organization producing a documentary on tobacco smoking, which had found our first articles published in 1939, why no one paid any attention to our opinion on the causal relation of tobacco smoking to carcinoma of the lung. I had some difficulty answering that question, but on further reflection made an effort to do so. For one thing, the Zeitgeist of that period virtually encouraged smoking. It was considered fashionable. In all the movies of that time, all the actors and actresses smoked. At medical meetings, most doctors were smoking; in fact, there was always a heavy haze of smoke in the meeting rooms and conference halls. ...

For another reason, the relation of smoking and the development of carcinoma of the lung was not immediately apparent, since it may take several decades of habitual smoking before the malignancy occurs. Since at that time most physicians smoked and could not observe any immediate deleterious effects, they were skeptical of the hypothesis and reluctant to accept even the possibility of such a relation.
