The Dangerous Reasons You Should Never Give Your Baby Tylenol After Vaccines
Conclusion The widely accepted use of acetaminophen pain relievers, such as Tylenol, has been shown in scientific studies to deplete levels of our bodies’ master antioxidant, glutathione. Parents should question the popular notion that dozens of vaccine doses in infancy are safe, and they should certainly research the damaging effects acetaminophen can have on the developing brain.

The cruel sham that is “ right-to-try ” is one big step closer to being federal law
So-called "right-to-try" is a cruel sham that holds out the mostly false hope of survival to terminally ill patients and their families. In return, all they have to give up is patient protections and agree to pay to be guinea pigs to test a drug company's product. The product of an ideology that uses the terminally ill as shields to hide the ideological motives behind the law, which are to hobble the FDA, right-to-try is a terrible idea. It's bad for patients, but it just passed the Senate and could well become the law of the land when the House reconvenes in September if it isn't stopped. (Source: Respectful Insolence)

Does your IVFclinic offer xxxxxx treatment ?
One of the commonest questions patients ask us is - We read about the following advanced treatment option on google. Does your clinic offer this treatment ?Now we have been doing IVF for over 25 years, and have seen many fashions and fads come and go. Yes, IVF is a science, but it is afflicted by lots of hype as well, as clinics compete with each other to offer the "newest, latest and best" advance to their patients !The additional advanced " tests and treatment" patients want depends upon their educational sophistication, and varies from:- ERA - endometrial receptivity assay - CAT - cumulus a...

Psychology Around the Net: July 22, 2017
Happy Saturday, Psych Central readers! Confession time: I’ve been struggling a lot lately with work-life balance. Hasn’t everyone at some point? Probably. Trying to manage work responsibilities, exercise, some semblance of a social life, personal hobbies and passions–oh, and let’s not forget a proper sleep schedule–whew. Failing–and failing for longer than you care to admit–can bring on the panic, anxiety, and depression in a major way. I’m not exactly sure when things started slipping, but I’m working on it. Hard. If you’re going through the same thing, Mental H...

The latest scam in IVF
It breaks my heart when I see all the scams IVF clinics use to cheat their patients. They disguise these in fancy scientific terms, and take their patients for a ride, by subjecting them to expensive, unproven treatments.They use their patients as guinea pigs - and to add insult to injury, they charge them for this privilege !The latest scan is the use of "platelet-derived growth factors" to "rejuvenate the ovaries" and " improve the endometrium". Lots of new startups have designed many different clever terms ( "autologous platelet rich plasma, PRP" and "platelet activating factor" to describe the same ...

Building Unity Farm Sanctuary - First Week of July 2017
Admittedly, the pace of my writing has slowed this Summer since each day is filled with a combination of IT work, mentoring, and keeping 60 acres of farm/sanctuary running smoothly.  How ’s it all going? Our trajectory is good.So much of what we ’re doing at the farm/sanctuary is improvisation that we have no choice but to create a vision and accept ambiguity on the daily journey.We received a request to adopt a house pig - Rue, who ’s 80 pounds at 4 years old and extremely well behaved. We ’ve been socializing her with the other pigs and thus far, all is proceeding as expected - they chall...

An Ebolavirus vaccine in Africa
An Ebolavirus vaccine has shown promising results in a clinical trial in Guinea. This vaccine has been in development since 2004 and was made possible by advances in basic virology of the past 40 years. The ability to produce the Ebolavirus vaccine, called rVSV-EBOV, originates in the 1970s with the discovery of the enzyme reverse ilnscriptase, the development of recombinant DNA technology, and the ability to rapidly and accurately determine the sequence of nucleic acids. These advances came together in 1981 when it was shown that cloned DNA copies of RNA viral genomes (a bacteriophage, a retrovirus, and poliovirus), ...

The Costs of Ebola: Guinea and Sierra Leone
Steve H. Hanke For a clear snapshot of a country’s economic performance, a look at my misery index is particularly edifying. The misery index is simply the sum of the inflation rate, unemployment rate and bank lending rate, minus per capita GDP growth.  The epicenter of the Ebola crisis is Liberia. My October 15, 2014 blog reported on the level of misery in and prospects for Liberia. This blog contains the 2012 misery indexes for Guinea and Sierra Leone, two other countries in the grip of Ebola. Yes, 2012; that was the last year in which all the data required to calculate a misery indexes were available. This inabi...

Ebola Healthcare Workers Killed in Guinea
Ebola healthcare workers killed in Guinea according to West African health officials. The group of eight officials were met by a mob throwing stones in a remote village where residents feared that the team came to the village in order to spread the viral hemorrhagic disease. The official death toll is approaching 3000 with an unknown number of non-recorded fatalities. The disease is marked by organ failure of the cardiac, renal, and liver systems as well as uncontrolled hemorrhage.

Humans, Guinea Pigs and Bats

Why IVF patients are treated as guinea pigs
I am very critical about the overtesting which is so rampant in IVF today. This leads to overtreatment , and ends up wasting a lot of time and money , because no one really knows how clinically useful a lot of these test results are. Just because tests make logical sense on paper doesn't mean that this logic always translates into clinical benefits. The sad fact is that real life can be quite messy , and what sounds very sensible in theory often does not work out well in practice .I recently saw a patient who had failed multiple ICSI cycles. His doctor had told him that this was because of his high sperm DNA fragmentation,...

Slumdog Clinical Trials contd - Kenyan patients being used as guinea pigs by researchers
By PETER ORENGO Thousands of desperate Kenyan patients are being used as guinea pigs in a thriving multibillion-drug industry with some trials contravening the country’s laws and the international drugs-trial protocols. A Dutch NGO, Somo, has released a report, Clinical Trials in Kenya, which says some of this research is conducted by individuals, especially university researchers working on their theses. The experiments conducted   often raise ethical issues, especially when safety protocols are ignored. The specialists say the problem is being compounded when desperate Kenyans diagnosed with cancer or HIV volu...
