How Rhode Island Parents Are Winning Back Their Rights to Vaccine Choice
Conclusion
Parents who are resolute in their efforts to safeguard their parental rights are making significant progress in the war against vaccine mandates. They recognize the power they have to influence government policies about vaccination. They find ways to connect with elected officials to voice their concerns about protecting their children from unwanted exposure to the chemicals, toxins, and foreign DNA contained in vaccines. They know their children don’t need a government-mandated vaccine against a sexually transmitted infection, especially at the young age of nine or ten years old.

Relative Risk and Tort Law
Now here's a difficult problem -- mull it over and see what you think. A woman has been awarded $55 million in damages from Johnson & Johnson based on the claim that talcum powder caused her ovarian cancer.Here's the 4-1-1 the actual relationship between talc and ovarian cancer. (I'm not sure if you can read it -- I have a magic cookie.) Summary:Case control studies suggest that women who use talcum powder on their genitalia have about a 20% increased risk of ovarian cancer, or maybe as much as 30%. That sounds pretty serious, but case control studies aren't conclusive about proving causation. Prospective cohort ...

Oncologists teach and comfort. Patients need both.
I was at a meeting in 2014, called the REV Forum; its objective was to rethink cancer care delivery by gathering patients, advocates, thought leaders, and entrepreneurs. Even now I am struck by some of the things I learned that day. One that stays in mind is when a woman who looked like she was in her late 30s stood up and told us, “I had ovarian cancer. And even now, I don’t remember anyone telling me what I was going to go through. I had no one guiding me; it was as if I taught myself. I learned how to be a patient with ovarian cancer.”
That thought came to me recently after a woman presented with a persistent coug...

4 Encouraging Advances in Ovarian Cancer Research
It’s estimated that in 2016, more than 22,000 women in the U.S. will be diagnosed with ovarian cancer. While the prevalence of this disease is relatively low, most diagnoses are made in the later stages, when women face a lower chance of survival.
Early detection has become a primary focus in ovarian cancer research. And the progress in research and testing means there are more long-term survivors than ever before.
Knowledge of the disease’s symptoms and the importance of care by a gynecologic oncologist can have a positive impact. As new advances are made, it’s more important than ever for women to be educated about...

The Gardasil Vaccine Disaster and Why You Must Investigate This Vaccine Yourself
The HPV vaccine has proven to be a disaster. This vaccine, developed to protect young women from cervical cancer, has failed to provide protection. In fact, it has succeeded in doing the opposite by increasing cervical cancer rates in those vaccinated.
Reports of health damage caused by this vaccine are immense. The HPV vaccination has been linked with life-threatening autoimmune disorders, cancer, paralysis, infertility and death. In fact, several countries have opposed the vaccine, as evidenced through public warning or lawsuits.
A lead researcher of the vaccine has advised parents not to use it. One independent group of...

Skin care and the sound of music
Link
Cosmetic marketers are always trying to innovate but sometimes I think they take it a bit too far. This new innovation from Shiseido seems to be one of those times. According to a report in Cosmetics Design, Shiseido has developed some music software that supposedly enhances the power of touching the skin. They call it Acoustic Beauty Care. They say that when sound is introduced to the process of treating skin, it improves the experience and allows the customer to appreciate the comfort of skin care and the feel of cosmetics even more keenly. So I guess that would mean if you listen...

Don’t Believe These 3 Myths About Living With Cancer
When people find out that I have stage 4 terminal breast cancer, they have varied reactions. Some are saddened and compassionate, some are concerned and curious, and others, because of their own fears, need to find an explanation — a way to feel in control.
This often leads to myths about living with cancer that can be insulting to those of us who are battling the disease.
Let’s examine the truth behind three of these myths:
Myth #1: If you are a positive person with a great attitude, you won’t get cancer.
My father, mother, and niece all battled cancer. My parents were anything but people who gave in or gave up. Th...

The Deadly Disease You Don’t Hear Enough About
Ovarian cancer is always the bridesmaid, never the bride.
At weddings, there’s a reason we focus on the bride. It’s her big event. She’s the center of attention, and rightly so. But sometimes, the bridesmaid’s speech has more to tell us — and we should listen.
We hear a lot about breast cancer. It affects a quarter of a million women and is fatal 15 to 20 percent of the time. Breast cancer is a serious and important disease that merits the time, money, and resources we spend on funding and public awareness each year.
But what do you know about ovarian cancer, a disease with a fatality rate of 65 to 70 percent? Fo...

My Children are Vaccine-Damaged; are Yours?
Conclusion
A growing number of today’s children suffer from vaccine damage. Most individuals do not make the connection between health problems and vaccines. When asked about the cause of autoimmune disorders, asthma, allergies, diabetes, learning disabilities, attention deficit disorder, autism, and other common childhood diseases and illness, the majority of health care providers advise patients that the causes are unknown. Doctors, including most integrative physicians, fail to make the connection to vaccines.
It takes one moment to permanently damage the health of an adult or child, but takes a lifetime to t...

Another Wheat Belly baby!
Brianna shared her story with me a couple of years ago after she had lost 49 pounds living the Wheat Belly lifestyle:
Unfortunately, after learning that she was pregnant, she went off track and gained a lot of weight. She recently got back on the Wheat Belly wagon after delivering her baby and again shared her experience, with her 4 month results here:
“FOUR MONTHS no wheat, size 22 to 16 and still going. I seriously can’t believe it.
“I have PCOS [polycystic ovarian syndrome]. After 7 years of trying to conceive, six months following Wheat Belly last time I conceived twice, with second one resulting i...

FDA: Review of Advisory Committees 2008-2012, Fewer Meetings and More Approvals
Over the years, we have written about the FDA's Advisory Committees with a special interest on "conflict of interest" issues. Recently, Avalere researchers published an interesting look at FDA's Advisory Committees (AdComm), considering trends in the first three years of current user fees. The study aimed to provide insight into developments regarding FDA's approach to the AdComm process. The research is based on data from programs related to the FDA Safety and Innovation Act. The follow information can be found in the Avalere report.
