Life expectancy on dialysis - need physicians or weblinks?

People can live a good long while on dialysis. However, if your mother has Congestive Heart Failure so bad that she gained 60lbs in fluid...then I would say her kidney's are the least of her worries. There is no real treatment for congestive heart failure to this extent.. However it is also possible that this fluid gain is more from the diabetes than the CHF. In which case, is much more treatable than the CHF. Honestly I think it is best if you direct all of these questions you have to your mother's doctors.

Psychedelic perceptions without drugs?

What are the ways that one can have the same (or nearly the same) experiences of psychedelic drugs WITHOUT using drugs or any external stimulant? I am looking for ways to have mystical, paranormal, spiritual, etc. experiences by committing to some discipline, such as focussed breathing or rosary repetition. I know of the Hindu/Buddhist systems so I need other systems of thought and discipline whose aim is to "experience" the divine using certain means of exercises, prayers, etc. Thanks.

Boiled chicken in plain water, can I leave in fridge overnight and then freeze and use the broth and chicken?

I was taught that food could remain in the fridge for 36 hours before you throw it away. If you are going to freeze it i would freeze it without leaving it the the fridge.
