The Wheat Belly Cruise 2015
Elizabeth “Betty” Klub is a popular girl on the Official Wheat Belly Facebook page, engaging in discussions, providing advice when needed, and just being a friend to all who join in the conversation. I met Betty on our recent Wheat Belly Cruise 2015 and enjoyed her company along with her friend, Pat, at an outdoor barbeque. The cruise took us to several ports-of-call around the Caribbean, including Cozumel and a (surprisingly) spectacular beach and entertainment compound on Haiti. That’s where Betty rode the zip-line starting on a small mountain, riding over the ocean! I regret that I did not see her ri...

Trauma Room Two
By PHILIP ALLEN GREEN, MD
Sometimes when I am bored, when it is all sore throats and dental pains, when I feel more like I am a social worker and a hand-holder than an emergency medicine physician, I play a game.
I do not look at the chart before I go into a room. I walk in cold. I enter with no idea who is going to be in there or why. In that very first second, before anyone speaks, I try to guess what the story is, who the people in the room are, and why they are in my emergency room.
Here-maybe it would make more sense if I showed you.
I draw back the curtain and step into Trauma Room Two. My eyes scan quickly about, ga...

Eureka ! Fish oil - Not Made from fish! says Professor
Please tell me this is a misquote Farmers WeeklyTwonkoid 1“People find it a bit surprising that fish oils are not made by fish. They obtain these omega-3 fatty acids from the marine algae they feed on,” noted Prof Napier.I think what the professor means is omega 3 EPA and DHA is not made by fish it's made by algae?Twonkoid 2 Prof Napier said the camelina plant oil could be fed to salmon and other farmed fish, as an alternative feed source to fishmeal and fish oil from small wild fish, such as anchovies, to boost their omega-3 levels. Why the hell not just feed the seeds to humans? Omega 3 Hummus anyone?ht...

The Flu Shot: It’s Not Just for Kids
The following post first ran on Huffington Post Healthy Living on September 23 and can be accessed here. The author is Liliana Losada Brown, PhD, Associate Director, Scientific Programs at the Society for Women’s Health Research.
Think back to the last time you got a shot. Did the doctor cover the wound with a cartoon character-printed bandage and treat you to a lollipop? If so, you are way overdue for a flu shot — but that’s OK, we all are! Adults, children, pregnant women — everyone! –older than six months should get a flu shot every year.
We all know the flu: the serious, contagious respira...

Here is why I love my town.
If you were to look at a map of Texas, you probably wouldn't notice Littleton at all. It's not one of those places where a river runs through downtown, free to everyone, or where huge concerts take place or where there's even a top-ranked university. It's just a small town, kind of stuck on the outskirts of a big city, but emphatically not a suburb. It's its own place.That's why I love Littleton. The rents are cheap and there's a big airport nearby, yes, and the air is clean and coyotes and foxes and various other small animals roam through downtown (somebody found a litter of bobcat kittens behind a bar a few weeks ago an...

Another irresponsible breast cancer alternative cure testimonial
It just occurred to me that Breast Cancer Awareness Month is fast approaching, not the least of which because I did a Komen event last night as one of the breast cancer experts. I sometimes wonder if I suffer from a bit of the imposter syndrome, because sixteen years on I still sometimes can’t believe… (Source: Respectful Insolence)

Radiologists don’t have to fear Watson. Yet.
Arthur C. Clark and Stanley Kubrick predicted supercomputers more intelligent than humans. In 2001: A Space Odyssey, HAL states, with typical human immodesty, “The 9000 series is the most reliable computer ever made … We are all, by any practical definition of the words, foolproof and incapable of error.” Forty years later, IBM’s Watson pummeled humans in Jeopardy – a distinctly human game.
Watson is a big shot oncology fellow at MD Anderson; he is already impressing nurses and the attendings. The supercomputer presented patients in the morning rounds, parsed data within seconds, and made few mistakes. Th...

Medical Futility – Like Ordering Osso Buco at a Vegan Restaurant
I used to analogize medical futility to ordering osso buco at a vegan restaurant (or to ordering "off" the menu more generally). It simply is not simply something that the restaurant prepares or serves. Indeed, to serve such an item would run cou... (Source: blog.bioethics.net)

Is collagen a good anti-aging ingredient? Episode 73
Do you wonder which anti-aging ingredients really work? Today we’re starting a new series where we review the evidence to find out. We begin with a look at collagen.
Which anti-aging ingredients really work?
When it comes to anti-aging products it’s easy to be tricked into spending a lot of money on products that aren’t worth it. That’s because there’s so much pseudoscientific misinformation out there about anti-aging cosmetic ingredients. Also, once you buy an anti-aging product, it takes you a long time to determine if it’s really working for you or not. That’s why weR...

Alternative cancer therapies: The quest for certainty
