During the Holidays some will get a "cold" or 
"choriza" ... others will realize that their 
"chorion" harbors a pregnancy or that their 
"core" is beating with joy as if these 
"tissues" which are like 
"textiles" reflect the 
"toil" and chores we endure and which 
can be reflected on our skin which may call for
"toiletry" agents for our 
"tegument" to hide or screen some of our care 
and perhaps a wrinkle or two ... 


             /\/\/\/ CHRISTMAS \/\/\/\

Let us remember that this feast is older that 
Christianity. The date chosen to celebrate the 
NATIVITY of Jesus Christ is also the date of the 
birthday of MITHRA. It is remarkable that Sir 
Thomas More, a devoted Christian, chose Mithra as 
the deity for his Utopia.

If may explore a page or two about 
Christmas, Christians, Janus and January


             /\/\/\/ NEW YEAR \/\/\/\


Deposed from Olympus, Saturn was welcomed by 
Janus. It was a new beginning - The pair became 
fused into a BIFORNS, a figure with one face 
gazing toward the past and the another scanning 
the future. 

One idea is that all men are equal in from of 
Saturn or Chronos or Father Time, who is 
represented as an old man holding a scythe. 
Time is inexorable.

Ideas in NILL or ZERO are so complex as to be 
intertwined with long held myths.NUL         in Ukrainian is 
ZERO        but such is challenged by 
            LIFE and UNIVERSE represented in 
ZODIAC      to glorify ZOO SPERM (azoospermia) 
            LIFE and ZEUS and ideas in 
            CYCLE or CIRCLE of LIFE or an 
anNULar     concept that contradicts 
  NIHILIST  and puts stress on 
anNNULAR    ANNUAL or RING even found in anatomic ideas

I am challenged with showing how
PENALTY POVERTY POOR and POUR may relate to
OSTEO POROSISIn brief
PORUS implies GAP which is the core idea in
POOR POUR ... OSTEOPOROSIS ... POROUS BONE because of 
                 POVERTY in calcium ...
explore the above and see if you agree.

For those who asked how "pot" or "potty" link with "potable" note 
that as with other instances, an explanation starts with the Gods.
    POTAMIA       Goddess of rivers, perhaps most popular in  
MESOPOTAMIA       because she provided for most
    POTABLE       nourishments but ... eventually 
    POTOP         in Ukrainian 
    FLOOD         of Deluge - or
TORRENT           ended that phase of human history 
                  Some say it was the Bosphorus that caved in 
                  and let the Mediterranean flood the basin 
                  of what today is the Black sea - a good reason 
                  for Ukrainians to remember when they 
TOAST             which in Ukrainian is 
PROSIT            for ASK or BEG may have to do that they do 
                  not wish another flood - in any case 
TORRENT           links with 
BRINDIS           in Spanish BRINDAR denotes "to dedicate" ... 
POTABLES          as a 
POTION            imBIBED for the health of self or others as
BEER              or other
BEVERAGE          and since potable is what we feed kids or
BEBE              in Spanish drink and also 
BABY              who endure pouring foods like 
PORRIDGE          that their bodies have to
AB SORB           and may even be a 
SORBET            containing
SORBITOL ...      explore the above, you may like it ...Have a good day.

THANKSGIVING
The occasion calls for examination of the ideas in:
Thank       which relates to
Giving      which relates to
Grace       which relates to gracias and
Alms        which relates to alma
Soul



This segment is devoted to expose ideas in 
ACUTE ACOUSTIC AUSCULTATION
ACUS         is like a NEEDLE or an 
ACCUSATION   regarding SHARP or
ACUTE        sensations including
AKOUIN       which stands for HEARING and 
ACUITY       which may acutely decrease with age and cause
AGONY        or call for
ACUPUNCTURE  performed by some "CUTE" lady

This portion is dedicated to 
ARGENT         and this silvery element 
               has to do with clearing or 
ARGUE          as well as with CLEAR VISION as in 
ARGUS          and with
ARGENTINA      where many greedy adventurers got
ARGYROSIS      after being treated with 
ARGYROL        causing 
ARGENTAFFIN    disease leading to 
ARGUMENTS      akin to those among Argonauts

Separate visitors challenged me to link

LARD LEAD LEADER with RAPID RAPE RIP CORRUPT and ...
there it is ...

FAT        and eating to much can be
FATAL      and 
RIP        your arteries and become a 
ROUT       of your health and a
ROUTE      to get you to a place with signs
RIP        meaning REQUIESCAT in PACE as if 
QUIET      or quiescence is the QUESTION mostly for 
           those who are dead or QUIT this world to 
           ACQUIESCE ... but returning to 
FAT        it is worth to note
ADEPS      leading to ADIPOSITY and Greek
ALEIPHATOS or in Ukrainian 
OLYJ       originating from 
OLIVES     giving us OIL to ANOINT with OINTMENTS or 
CHRIO      Greek for ANOINT adopted by CHRISTIANS ... so we now are ready to explore 
LARD       from LARDACIOUS bacon and BUTYRUM    or BUTTER which is a solid 
LIPID      and evolving toward ideas of 
           CEBUM SOAP SEAR SUET STEARIN ...
           for further points you are on your own
           just take the time to click and read ...
           if you do not - then it is a 
PITY       because your 
PITUITARY  may miss the point and POMMEL your health  ...
         
           Yes, we got lost on the 
           FAT branches of LARD ... the intended order was
RUPTURED   because I wanted to show how 
RAPE       and 
RAPID      and WARS LOST by 
ROUT       are ways to 
CORRODE    and
CORRUPT    just as absolute power can - 
           Notably Jefferson said ...  
           you can read how Lord Acton 
           came with this EPIGRAM which he repackaged 
           from what Gibbon said and how
           Gibbon repackaged what Burke said -
           before the merchants lawyers and 
           publishers of this century gained 
           control of Congress to plagiarize 
           was not a crime - 
           which brings me the point that
           excecutioners stuffed ideas in words like 
ROBE       which they "RIPPED OFF" from victims for 
RIPPING    their heads off with a clean chop ...
           ponder then how RIP ROUT ROB ROBE ROBBER
           ABRUPT RUBBLE DISRUPT and INTERRUPT
           and even BANKRUPT so many 
           ... depressing, nes pas?
           well, this is just a play on word ideas
           so do not get a HERNIA or
RUPTURE    but do ponder why 
LEAD       a poisonous metal also found in 
DIPLOMAS   is related to 
APLOMB     which is like having a 
PLUMB      from Latin PLUMBUM for LEAD as if to 
LEAD       in politics one must know this poisonous metal 
           as if to remind 
LEADERS    that power is also a POISON that can 
CORRUPT    the life of others.



ECLAT      is what some 
ECLECTIC   people use to exploit the 
ECOLOGY    of others and to 
ECLIPSE    nature as is the case when women have 
ECLAMPSIA  or
ECTOPIC    pregnancies or teens seek 
ECSTASY    in a vain attempt to reach 
UTOPIA

             Please lend me your EAR or
PINNA        to insure you get the
DETAILS      The Devil is in the DE TAILS !!!
             and ... it even has a  
TAIL         and reminds us how
INFINITE     are conceptions regarding 
FINE         are the ideas about BUTS and ENDS and that 
CAUDA        or TAIL is like a 
TWIG         that is also a 
CONSEQUENCE  that follows all dogs
             I do know that the above
ENTAILS      ideas leading toward 
RETAIL       nor toward 
TAILOR       but I do know of relevant roots in  
TALLE 
TALLER 
TALIA        which have to do with size waist work and even
MONEY 
FINALLY     I can deFINITIVELY show some ideas in 
FINE        that like 
FINIALS     suggest some 
FINAL       and deFINitive links with 
FINANCIAL   and views on how 
FINANCES    relate to 
FINES       and to 
TAXES       which are like a BUR levied by
FINICKY     BURLy BUReaucrats lacking 
FINESSE     and who stress that TAXes are 
INFINITELY  better that our ultimate 
FINIS       which has also to do with
FAIL        and the 
FAILURES    of 
PINEAL      glands causing people to look like a 
PINE        and 
PINE AWAY   from 
PAIN

ECZEMA    is an ERUPTION that DISRUPTS the skin with 
ENZYMES   and crops of BOILS that disturb the 
PRURIENT  because they cause severe 
PRURITUS
 
          To name this skin CORRUPTION, the ANCIENTS 
          thought of BOILING stones - we can imagine how
          ZEIN or "to BOIL" can also evoke ideas of 
ZYGOTE    which is a little lump that joins like a 
ZYGOMA    developed and developing beings and since 
ZEUS      had to do with life and therefore with 
ZOO       this leads to 
ENZYME    which are required for life and the 
          generation of various creatures needing a place in the 
ZODIAC    where as a magnificent belt of stars 
          remind us of life and 
ZOOLOGY   ... 
ZZZZ      (have a good day)

All is in flux ... so is this site. It is the first 
time that I impose on you, our visitor, a personal
message. I have received so many stimulating and 
complementary e-mail that I must express my 
acknowledgment and gratitude to all of you who are 
so kind as to acknowledge the labor I share freely 
with those who might be interested in "clearer" 
thoughts.

With many thanks,
W. Wertelecki M.D.    October 13, 2000.

This time I respond with some comments and links to 
"clear" ideas linked with META MORPHOSIS and therefore 
also connected with ideas concerned with META and METE 
which are pregnant with "goal" "measure" and "do" and 
create fear as in METICULOUS ... few of us like to be 
"measured". The "play on words" below should be enough 
to "clear" the way and more clarity may be found in the
links provided.

Man is "a measure of all things" said Protagoras and 
MEASURE        or scale applies to 
MEDICINE       that requires that to 
METE           
MEDICATIONS    the process must be 
METICULOUS     in a way as to 
METER          its prescriptions to serve as a 
MEDIA          to mediate or at least medicate 
METEORISM      and to impose a 
MEASURE        on what 
MEDICS         should do including measures to 
METAMORPHOSE   diseases back into health or to confront 
METABOLIC      disorders and instances of tissue 
METAPLASIA     or DYSPLASIA and fears of cancer and 
METASTASIS     but ... there also are patients with tender
METACARPALS    or
METATARSALS    or a sore 
METAPHYSIS     needing treatments that do not disturb the 
PHYSIS         or "nature of things" nor irritate
MORPHEUS       and create a need for 
MORPHINE       which is linked to what can be seen as a mental 
METAMORPHOSIS  that alters our views by mutating 
PHYSICAL       brain function - the task of 
PHYSICIANS     includes avoidance of pitfalls abundant in 
METAPHYSICS    which has led some great philosophers to  
METAPSYCHOSIS  and inhumane ideas while others crafted 
METAPHORS      that define worthy "metas" or goals ... 

To move on ... consider the dictum in the METAPHOR 
"CARPE DIEM" ... it mandates we carve our day or 
happiness with our own METaCARPALS and METhods.    

Have a good DIEM.




Some students had the "nerve" to flood us with requests for 
word roots dealing with "nervous" as if knowing that 
nerve (confidence) contradicts 
nervous (insecurity) ...
we do not feel that 
sophomore students are oxymorons but 
sopho implies sophisticated and 
moro  implies moron ...
so it is!  (in English at least)


MYELIN      Stems from "marrow" which refers to the core of 
            nervous and bone tissues ... MYELIN represents a 
            "natural" cellular substance with properties 
            akin to those of an "electric insulator"


GLIA        Cells that manufacture the GLUE that hold the 
            neuroGLIA reflect similar ideas found in  
            GLUTEN produced from GLUCOSE ...


TEMPORAL    The ideas in TEMP are vast ... we can not 
            conTEMPlate most of them here except note 
            that beyond TEMPests and TEMPles there floats a 
            TEMPorary hypothesis - perhaps ancient 
            physicians called one cerebral lobe TEMPORAL 
            because they may have realized that its injury 
            altered the TEMPER and ability to conTEMPorize ...
            also note how TEMPORARY flows toward
            TENT TENTATIVE TEMPLE 


TENT        Often TEMPles or TABERNacles arose under a 
            TENT as if to stress TEMPorary TENToria and
TENTORIUM   ... the human cerebrum is separated form the 
            cerebellum by a MENINGEAL TENTORIUM.


MENINGES    The name points to MEMBER MEMBRANE as if to 
            stress that the MEMBERSHIP includes the 
            female femur or thigh and the masculine PENIS.


FALX        Has to do with FALCHION or SICKLE or SCYTHE.
            The SCYTHIANS are no more ... but the SCYTHE 
            as a symbol persists ... a modern Bolshevik 
            may not know that SERB SERBIA is linked with 
            sickle and its use as in KOSATY in KOSOVO ...
FALCIFORM   Sickle like as in sickle cell anemia 


THREE GRACES    Daughters of Esculapius named
HYGEIA          for HYGIENE
PANACEA         for potable potions that cure
MEDITRINA       for MEDICINE


SURGERY
SURGEON         from CHIRON the teacher of Esculapius and
                personalized by Chiropractors
MEDICINE            The medium to meditate about life and health
STAFF           Has to do with ambulatory teams and walking
STICK           also used as a magic stick to heal or
CADUCEUS        in modern times used by kings and religious or 
                military leaders as a magic emblem


MERCENARY        A word-idea paying tribute to MERCURY or
HERMETIC         HERMES thus related to AMBIGUOUS MORALITY
                 akin to sexual ambiguity known as 
HERMAPHRODITISM


PLASTIC      Think how PLASTIC is PLASMA or how adept or 
             adaptable are the shapes of some parasites like
PLASMID      as if they were like
PLASTER      or some tissues that change shape into a
NEOPLASIA    or a new morphology often preceded by
DYSPLASTIC   signs that pathologists cal
DYSPLASIA
          

FRENZY          I am in trouble to expose the ideas in this word-idea
                unless you believe me that it has to to with Spanish FRENO
                for BREAK and the idea that our mind is the organ
PHRENIA         that has control of our feelings or emotions and
                therefore motions and that such controls may be
                lessened by
SCHYZOPRENIA    and by mental "retardation"  or
OLIGOPHRENIA    or HYPOMENTIA


GIG     Is the "verb" or "word" that "reverberates"
        GIGantic ideas that expropriated the name of
GIGES   King of Lydia who had a GIGantic fortune ...
        the "idea" is further personalized in 
GIANT   but ... there is more to GIG than ideas about 
        "large" like GIG = billion or nine zeros 
        after a 1 or 1,000,000,000 ...
        GIGA is VIGOR  SPIRIT  even J. S. BACH could
        not resist and was reprimanded for composing
GIGAS   based on popular dances known as 
JIG     ... this is just a piece of a GIGantic 
        JIGsaw puzzle to puzzle people with 
        GIGantic fortunes who behave like
JERKS   or as bad as a 
GIGOLO  and who should be made to 
JOG     and 
JOGGLE  and 
JIGGLE  to induce 
GIGGLES and 
OGGLES  from the less fortunate mortals.


HEAL      To cover, recover ...
          Restore ... restaurants restore as well
          Healing or Curing with Cures reminds of 
          Spanish Cura = Cure and Priest, as if to 
          underscore that
HEALTH    ... is more than just matter ... it is 
          preservation of SELF or HOMEOSTASIS ... 
          Ukrainian likar =  physician
                    liki     medications
          Latin     liquere  melt to clear or liquidate
          other ideas; fit, sane, hardy
