Summary of Recent Settlements Novartis, Amgen and Boehringer Ingelheim
Discussion
In light of these cases, and in particular, the Novartis kickback case, Jose Sierra, a white collar lawyer who writes for the blog pharmarisc, proposed several factors for companies to consider.
Companies must ensure close monitoring of speaker programs to ensure compliance with internal policies and CIA requirements
For "front-end" controls, he recommends that companies should adopt a system in which no speaker program is scheduled without 6-10 "RSVPs" from invited doctors. "You need this many RSVPs because half the doctors never show up and 3-5 attendees are needed to pass the laugh test....

It’s officially the dog days of summer and we all can feel it. NBC Washington’s Tom Kierein said it best “You’ll feel like you’re covered in maple syrup today!” – Ha! Sounds fun. I’m sure the last thing you’re craving today is hot waffles!

Real-time PCR Detection of Foodborne Pathogenic Vibrio
from Luciana Croci and Elisabetta Suffredini writing in Real-Time PCR in Food Science: Current Technology and Applications:Bacteria of the genus Vibrio are naturally occurring in aquatic environments, the majority of them being non-pathogenic to humans, whereas some species have been associated with human disease. In particular V. cholerae, V. parahaemolyticus and V. vulnificus are known to be important human pathogens. The detection of pathogenic vibrios mostly relies on conventional cultural methods that often require further confirmation. Recently molecular methods (conventional PCR and Real Time PCR) to test food and e...

Allergy Bites: Tasty Nuggets for Preventing Allergies
Many parents still hear the advice that it’s better to wait to introduce fish to babies until their first birthdays, or even their second. I disagree! And a growing body of evidence suggests that starting fish between 6 and 12 months results in fewer allergies – both in the short run and by the time they become teens.
Giving babies and toddlers fish a couple of times a week, or even a couple of times a month, may be one of the best tips for preventing allergies.
And perhaps today’s babies and toddlers eating less fish is even one of the reasons allergies have been going up in kids overall, potentially from a decrease...

Riding the Chocolate Wave
That's what I had for dessert yesterday at Red Lobster. The chocolate wave which was basically a decadent piece of warm chocolate cake and vanilla ice cream drizzled with chocolate syrup. Mom had the New York style strawberry cheesecake. I also got the captain's platter -- more food than one person could eat besides my cousin Matt. I had a doggie bag full of food for Maggie who thought this was some of the most interesting food she had ever eaten. She walked around the to-go box several times sniffing before digging in."So this is what they call seafood," you could almost hear my Maggie say.I had to pull off all the tail...

Post Midnight Ponderings
It's quiet here. Very quiet after midnight--quiet as a closed cathedral. I think I will put on some Beck "Modern Guilt" in my venerable CD player and crank up the tunes. Maggie is sitting at my feet licking her paws making muted slurping noises. It's a nervous habit of hers. It must be comforting and soothing.I've been busy picking out a new computer. I'm going over to the dark side and building an AMD based computer this time instead of Intel. I've picked out an awesome eight core processor. It is really fun daydreaming and picking out the basic components. My other computer just completely died a catastrophic death this ...

Completing the Command Center…
That’s no moon! That’s a space station! --Obi Wan Kenobi I just drove down to Wal-Mart after midnight to get a premium grade cable splitter. It was pricey being gold plated, but I needed one that wouldn’t degrade the signal integrity of my internet connection. I then moved my second computer desk into my bedroom and put a small TV on it. It is a little messy right now, but I will get it cleaned up tomorrow. Let’s just say it is a well lived in space at the moment. Happy’s Food Delivery… My father brought Kentucky Fried Chicken last night. It was two breasts and potato wedges. The smells about dr...

Personalized Nutrition – Making Food Choices that Work for You
As March marches on, I’m still finding ways to celebrate National Nutrition Month’s theme of “Eat Right, Your Way”.
I was on WBAL (watch the full WBAL clip here) and Let’s Talk Live DC recently and shared some ideas to make eating healthier work for you. It’s all about personalized nutrition. My view: Not everything has to be absolutely perfect all of the time. I wrote about that in my blog for US News Health. Instead of thinking “all or nothing,” make choices that work for you and help you enjoy your meals.
We know that eating wholesome foods delivers nutrients. The “My Plate&...

We need to make a switch
I think we, as in my husband and I, should officially switch to the Mediterranean diet. There is more research (because the researchers need to keep busy) showing the benefits of it.Good things in the Mediterranean diet are olive oil, tree nuts and peanuts, fresh fruits, vegetables, fatty fish and seafood, legumes, white meat, and wine with meals. This to avoid are soda, commercial bakery goods, sweets and pastries, spread fats, and red and processed meats.Therein lies the problem. My husband is Mr. Steak and Potatoes.He would happily eat beef every night. I will have to work on this. And the other problem is I'm supposed ...

Hanging Up My Hat and Glad to be Home…
Home Sweet Home! I just left the hospital from seeing Charlie. He has his sense of humor back and the color in his face has returned. He is still very, very sore, though. “I thought I just had a bad case of gas and cramps!” Charlie told me laughing. “Until the pain grew unbearable.” Mom, the impetuous one, was with me and she was giving me cues to head for home. “We need to go fill up my car,” my mother told me softly out of earshot of Charlie. “Love you Charlie,” I told him as we stepped out of his hospital room. He reciprocated. Well, I’ve had a busy day and I never cease to amaze mysel...

Charlie’s on the Mend We Hope…
Charlie was experiencing incredibly severe abdominal pain this morning. They rushed him to the hospital and performed an emergency appendectomy. I just got back from the hospital with my mother and he seems in good spirits. You know? That’s the first time in my whole life that that I’ve ever seen Charlie lying down and not busily up doing something. I am just wholeheartedly glad it wasn’t something more serious. Laugh With Me and Not at Me… I had a little touch of mental illness going on yesterday. To me it is glaringly obvious in my writings in retrospect.. I certainly don’t wa...

Chef Pete Evans goes wheat-free!
Australian chef and TV personality, Pete Evans, asked me to write a section for his new cookbook:
Over the last 12 months we have been working on a new cookbook, which will be available in about a years time [February 2014]. Dr William Davis, a preventative cardiologist who wrote “WHEAT BELLY” (a must read book) has kindly shared his research for our new book, along with a host of other highly respected health and wellness pioneers and experts.
And for the record the only flour we use at home is coconut and almond flours.
Pete tells me that, in the new cookbook, “there will be no recipes featuring wheat&...
