EMBARGOED! Episode 39: A Heaping Helping of China with a Side of Turkey

Brian and Tim give thanks for having no shortage of China topics to cover (ever), which include BIS’s new interim final rule establishing controls on certain items that can be used for malicious cyber activities, authorized (and possibly unauthorized) exports to Huawei, the FCC’s revocation and termination of China Telecom Americas’ license, and a brief Lightning Round discussion of the latest on Taiwan. In the middle of all that China content, Brian and Tim also discuss the possible implications of a recent FSIA ruling in the Halkbank case.

Understanding Lyme Disease – Episode 4: Prevention and Immunity


 
Scott Endicott and Ben Locwin with host Tom Fox are back for part 4 of the Understanding Lyme Disease Podcast series. In this episode, they talk about the immune system as the body’s first line of defense, how to boost your immunity, and take charge of your health.
 

 
Prevention Beats Correction
Prevention beats correction every time, and the best way to treat Lyme disease is to reduce your chances of contracting it at all. Ben advises listeners to take precautions when entering areas where ticks are common. Wear long-sleeved shirts, long pants, and boots if possible. Use tick repellent, salves, and sprays. If you do happen to find a tick on you, only remove it with tweezers; do not use petroleum jelly or try to burn it off. 
 
Post Treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome
Some patients who have been treated for Lyme disease still feel lingering symptoms. This used to be considered Chronic Lyme Disease. Evidence shows that no persistent infection is left within patients so the official term is now Post Treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome. 
 
Building Your Immunity
One of the best things a person can do is work on building their self immunity. Improving your diet, exercise, and stress levels are key to your recovery. A consistent exercise regimen especially helps to build back your immunity. “Many of the side effects and symptoms of persistent Lyme or Post Treatment Lyme Disease are psychiatric and mental,” Scott tells Tom. Doing your best to fortify your body and mind is going to do wonders with strengthening your immune system.
 
Take Charge of Your Health
You need to take charge of your health, both physically and mentally. “Being discerning about your own health and being your own advocate is probably one of your best defenses,” Scott says. Do what you can to ease stress: yoga or meditation are good options. Make use of the information that is available; get educated about what’s happening around you so you can make decisions about your own medical care.
