There are remedies that you only find out about much later than would actually have been good. That was the case for me with humic acids. In the early 2000s, I still had some amalgam fillings, which I had replaced with more modern fillings. Back in the 1980s, this was quite normal - you went to the dentist, got a silver seal and that was that. Nobody talked about heavy metals, mercury or detoxification. At least not in the dentist's surgery.

Considerations on the possible return of compulsory military service
A kind of essay by Mr. von L'oreot on a possible state tension.
What does the tension in Germany mean - and what would the specific consequences be?
In times of increasing international tensions, a term keeps cropping up in political debates that many citizens hardly know how to categorize: the "State of tension". But what does it mean in concrete terms when this case is established in Germany? And how does the case of tension differ from the better-known case of defense, which is usually associated with an actual war? In order to be able to correctly assess the possible consequences, it is worth taking a sober look at the constitutional situation.
Digital dependency: how we have lost our self-determination to the cloud
I've always thought it was a mistake for people to hand over their data - be it in the cloud, via apps or with any "free" services. For me, data sovereignty has never been a buzzword, but a question of self-respect. Anyone who uses technology without considering the consequences is entering into a dependency that often only becomes noticeable years later - but then has an even deeper impact.
Fitness for war, conscription & refusal: what to do in an emergency
At a time of increasing geopolitical tensions, many people in Germany are wondering what could happen to them in the event of a reintroduction of compulsory military service or a military escalation. Even though general conscription has been suspended in Germany since 2011, the constitutionally guaranteed right to refuse military service with a weapon for reasons of conscience still applies. This article provides a factual overview of the legal basis, the possible target groups, the procedure and the points to be observed, without replacing legal advice in individual cases.
gFM-Business and the future of ERP: local intelligence instead of cloud dependency
For over a decade, the gFM-Business software has stood for something special in the German ERP market: it is not based on a cumbersome, difficult-to-maintain system, but on the lightweight, customizable and visually modelled FileMaker platform. This has many advantages: gFM-Business can be individually expanded, runs on Windows, macOS and iOS, and can be customized by both developers and ambitious power users.
With the advent of artificial intelligence (AI) - especially through so-called language models such as ChatGPT - new opportunities are now emerging that go far beyond traditional automation. gFM-Business is actively preparing for this future: with the aim of not only managing data, but also unlocking knowledge.
Artificial intelligence: which jobs are at risk and how we can arm ourselves now.
Hardly any other technological change has crept into our everyday lives as quickly as artificial intelligence. What was considered a visionary technology of the future yesterday is already a reality today - whether in texting, programming, diagnosing, translating or even creating music, art or legal briefs.
Dental cleaning - sensible or excessive? A differentiated view
Professional dental cleanings are now considered a standard recommendation - it is often suggested that they should be carried out every 6 months or even every 3 months. Those who can afford it (or have good supplementary dental insurance) are often praised. But how useful is it really? The answer, as so often, is: it depends.
