~Hi All~
Early this morning it was announced that a new company, called Sharecare, has acquired DailyStrength.
From today's article on Yahoo News (see link below):
"Sharecare Inc., created by Jeff Arnold and Dr. Mehmet Oz, in partnership with Harpo Productions, HSW International, Sony Pictures Television, and Discovery Communications, is a highly searchable social Q&A healthcare platform organizing and answering the questions of health. The company's innovative approach is designed to provide a wide array of expert answers to each question ranging from hospitals to MDs to non-profits to healthcare companies to active health consumers, ultimately creating a community where healthcare knowledge is built, shared and put into practice."
What does this mean to you?
DailyStrength will remain the same great place you've made it. As we move into next year, we will integrate more experts, articles, and information making your experience even better.
We'll keep you updated as we move forward and thank you again for keeping DailyStrength the number one health and wellness social network on the web.

I was in school, 8th grade, and the teacher was called out to the hallway and when she came back in her face looked white. I knew something bad happened, and then she turned the TV on and we watched what was going on. The whole school was saying that it was world war 3, and that we might be going home early. That never happened, but I will never forget it. It was on every channel for months, my father lost friends in the building. Very very sad...







Hmmmm.....When they say it will remain the same great place, etc, I start to wonder.

OMG DR OZ has been implicated in the vaccine scandal, if you re interested get in touch with me

Alexandria, it's not a scandal saying that he will take the shot, but none of his four children or wife will, he is not sure like most people who needs to make this very important decision, to get the shot or not.
I know one thing, we choose to just go as we have done all the previous years, take vitamin D & S, and wash our hands several times a day..
I heard Dr Oz saying it, and for once a Doctor was honest on how he felt about the vaccine, a vaccine that would have taken 10 years to study in the making, and now months later they come up with this new vaccine, he is just cautious to not put his family at harm.
Logical no !!!
I admire his honesty.

I say this sounds like good news - this is a great site and obviously it has been widely recognized as such and I tip my hat to u Mckenzie who has kept it going all this time when me and so many others jumped ship after so many yrs of good times and others of rough sailing-overall the knowledge and friends I made on this site have affected my entire life in a positive way
..... and as u say I respect anyone's opinion and especially if they are willing to say it out loud and for all the world to hear despite reprecussions as long as not hurtful or dangerous to others....
I luv u McKenzie! xoxo

It would have been really good if "Doug" & gremlins had made an announcement to us bwfore this happened. asked a friend about it - seems that he owned shares in the Co. that bought up DS, - & he says it was months ago - & he sold them (& made a profit (which is nice!) The mind bloody boggles. JaneD.

thanks for the info Mck...love you! I love Dr. Oz.....hopefully this new team can rid us of the two sicko trolls that have been wrecking havoc on this site way too long! thanks for all you do and for the wonderful person you are..did I tell you lately that I LOVE YOU !!?? xo

I think the point of the purchase, serenity, is not to rid us of the trolls, but to slot us into a mega-pharma-profitmaking machine. I did not know who Dr. Oz was - but did some digging - he sells pills (in the past) of dubious healing ability: you can look him up on the net. He's certainly a qualified specialist, but I doubt that he has any time these days to do any operating. I sincerely hope that I am wrong, but I cannot see that he, and his co-profiteer, are going to do anything for us at all. We might get more advertisements for Big Pharma though. Sincerely, JaneD.

I hate change especially of a good thing. DS and my friends I have made here have become an important part of my day. I don't know how I would have made it the past couple of years without DS and all of you all. I just hope they do not go and try to change it. Jackie
