Compounding pharmacists make custom medications \u201cfrom scratch\u201d to meet specific needs, such as: hypoallergenic meds for those with severe allergies; flavored liquids for children, the elderly, or pets; pain creams, which can include multiple ingredients and target specific painful areas with a minimum of systemic side effects; transdermal creams for people (or animals) that can\u2019t\u2014or won\u2019t\u2014take meds orally; customized bio-identical hormone therapy; medicated wound gels that can include antibiotics, anesthetics, and ingredients to promote healing; and medications that, while apparently safe and effective, are not mass-manufactured for economic reasons (i.e: the manufacturers won\u2019t make enough money from them). When I give talks to doctors about compounding, I give them this rule of thumb: when you run out of treatment ideas, call your compounding pharmacist. Chances are, they\u2019ll be able to help!\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2017\/12\/motley-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"motley\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-30460\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2017\/12\/motley-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2017\/12\/motley-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2017\/12\/motley.jpg 722w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The Motley Fool website<\/a><br \/>\n&#8220;Most financial\/investment websites are stultifyingly dull; Motley Fool manages to bring humor and enthusiasm to the subject without a corresponding increase in BS.  I\u2019ve found them a good source of information, and entertaining enough that I don\u2019t lose consciousness before I manage to absorb the nuggets of wisdom; there are plenty of free forums available to help with your questions. From debt reduction, to saving, to tax reduction and investing, they give solid advice, leavened with a bit of humor. \u2026 To help with allocation, I\u2019m also using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.futureadvisor.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Future Advisor<\/a>; you feed in all your investments and it gives you allocation suggestions which you can either execute yourself (free) or sign up to have them do it automatically (for a percentage). Unlike many other of these services, you can tag investments you want NOT to be reallocated (I\u2019ll keep my Amazon stock, thank you very much!), so they won\u2019t advise you to sell those. It\u2019s a bit tedious to set up, but a breeze to use once you\u2019ve got all the information in\u2026.and it\u2019ll help keep you from making potentially expensive mistakes over the years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2017\/12\/autoharp-300x164.jpg\" alt=\"autoharp\" width=\"300\" height=\"164\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-30461\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2017\/12\/autoharp-300x164.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2017\/12\/autoharp-1024x558.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2017\/12\/autoharp.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2DvLCbI\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Autoharps<\/a><br \/>\n&#8220;The autoharp is the only instrument I\u2019ve ever been able to pick up and play almost immediately, from the very beginning&#8230;and still be able to sing at the same time! Despite the many benefits of playing an instrument\u2014mental, social, and emotional as well as musical\u2014many who didn\u2019t learn while young feel that it\u2019s now \u201ctoo late\u201d in their adulthood. One problem is the learning curve: it takes most people many months to sound halfway decent on a guitar, for instance\u2014let alone sing at the same time. An autoharp makes this much simpler by damping every string that\u2019s not in the selected chord at the push of a button&#8230;so when you strum, you WILL get a D chord, or whatever other chord you selected. All you have to do is push buttons and strum; no odd hand contortions or painful fingers. There is, of course, a catch or two. First, you\u2019re tuning 36 strings instead of 6 or 12; but if you tune your autoharp every day or so for a while, you\u2019ll find it \u2018settles in\u2019 and stays in tune much longer than it would if you only tuned sporadically.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cool Tools Show 104: Barbara Dace<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13684,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[1559],"tags":[1555,2359],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30458"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13684"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=30458"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30458\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30463,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30458\/revisions\/30463"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30458"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=30458"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=30458"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
