Type 2 Diabetic
Posted on October 06, 2008 in Diabetes erectile dysfunction
Author: koolspaces.com Now, I am not a doctor and I don't play one on T.V. but after living with diabetes for seven years I've learned some things that I haven't seen while researching diabetes. Most of the things you learn are the basics, e.g., that diabetes is a disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin. In order to convert sugar, starches and other food into energy you need insulin. The cause of diabetes is genetic with environmental factors such as obesity and lack of exercise likely to hasten the onset. My hope is if you are having difficulty with some aspect of diabetes this article may provide some insight to you. As always, check with your doctor prior to incorporating any changes to your daily regimen as each person is unique and may or may not have success with my experiences. CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME Before I was diagnosed with diabetes I went to several doctors with a complaint about my hands feeling severe pain. I especially felt it during a swing of a golf club. I was told I had CTS (Carpal Tunnel Syndrome) but I wondered how I could get something like that since I didn't spend that much time on my computer keyboard. I was also skeptical of the diagnosis because the nurse practitioner treating me left the room before reaching a verdict then returns and tells me I have CTS. I guess she discussed my symptoms with the presiding doctor. Later that week, I read an article saying that if your doctor diagnoses you with CTS ask him to give you a simple blood test to rule out more serious diseases like cancer and diabetes. I showed the article to my doctor who agreed and lo and behold when the test came back it showed I had diabetes. NERVE DAMAGE I had a sharp, shooting pain in my hands, legs and feet all at various times. My doctor suggested exercise. I didn't like jogging because I seem to aggravate my right knee when I do run. I have easy access to a pool but don't really enjoy it enough but I liked the idea of riding a bicycle around my neighborhood. The fresh air, meeting neighbors and taking it light on my knee seemed appealing to me. The trick is to find some form of exercise you can tolerate and keep up with. If you don't like jogging chances are you won't maintain the exercise required. You need ninety minutes of exercise a week. I usually like to exercise during the late afternoon but because of a hot spell I decided to exercise during the morning to escape the hot weather. To my surprise my glucose readings were somewhat high before dinner. So I went back to exercising at 4 p.m. and my glucose reading fell back considerably. I reasoned that my biggest meal of the day was dinner and exercising a few hours before dinner helped regulate my glucose. Also, I noticed my readings weren't affected much when I exercised 15 minutes, or even twenty minutes. It seemed to me that I wasn't benefitting from that amount of time spent exercising. But when I extended it to 25 and especially 30 minutes, I noticed the difference. My appetite wasn't as ravenous and I felt better overall. But best of all, the nerve damage to my legs and hands were gone. No more numbness in those areas as well. The only complaint I had was the amount of time it took me to get there, 3 - 6 months. Aren't we all impatient? I was so encouraged by the results that exercising has become a way of life for me. Now I bicycle 3 to 4 miles per day, 5 days a week. In fact, on the days that I do miss my workout I feel guilty. INFECTIONS I recently had a continuous spell of high glucose readings of which I had no rational explanation as to why. My exercise regimen was usual and my eating habits and weight were the same. I began taking Glyburide once a day. Even that didn't work. Concerned, I made a doctor's appointment and thanks to my doctor asking questions (innocuous I thought at the time) it turned out that I had an infection on my arm. As soon as I took the antibiotics, my glucose levels returned to where they previously were. I cut the pills in half (from 5 milligrams to 2.5) because when I was first prescribed the Glyburide I was not told about the side effects of the medication. I remember walking in the park and feeling terrible. I thought I was going to die. I made it home and took a glucose reading and was alarmed that it was 35. (Normal is between 70 and 125.) I called my doctor and relayed what was going on and they advised me to get some sugar in my body. I did and felt better within minutes. Today, I keep tomato juice in my refrigerator in case I need it. Don't make the mistake I made and try to raise your blood sugar with food. Food will take 15 minutes to digest and may raise it over the level you want thereby negating your goal. After taking the Glyburide during my fight with that infection, I had an Hba1c test and I was surprised that my lipid profile improved considerably. Also, I am glaucoma-suspect and my eye pressure level was reduced 26%! Is there a correlation between Glyburide and my improvements in these areas -- I don't know but I anxiously await my next quarterly blood lipid test. There is a positive side to diabetes. Now I'm forced to exercise, watch what I eat and keep tabs on my weight. None of which I did before. The result from all this is a healthier lifestyle, less complications from diabetes and a longer lifespan. Diabetes can be manageable. Consider it a wakeup call to a healthier lifestyle. I can't stress enough that before you make any changes to your daily regimen to talk it over with your doctor. Write all of your questions down before you go in and if you're too shy to ask, hand him your piece of paper. koolspaces.com The Best myspaces on myspace.com The Best Funny Videos!

Healing and medicine
Posted on September 30, 2008 in Medical care
A lot of people call me with questions about how Christian Science healing relates to medical practice, if at all. Sometimes they've been given a very hard line from others when they've asked about it, meaning that these others have said that no medical intervention is to be tolerated at all. I guess I don't really fall in that camp. My feeling is that while Mary Baker Eddy presented the ideal and the goal in her writings, she also clearly acknowledges the process of growth needed to achieve that ideal and goal. In other words, achieving 100% reliance on Spirit is a journey. MBE even has occasional good things to say about using medical care. Here's one from her sermon Christian Healing: Great caution should be exercised in the choice of physicians. If you employ a medical practitioner, be sure he is a learned man and skilful; never trust yourself in the hands of a quack. In proportion as a physician is enlightened and liberal is he equipped with Truth, and his efforts are salutary; ignorance and charlatanism are miserable medical aids. (p. 14) Yes, she's cautioning us to find the right physician. But she's definitely not prohibiting the use of medical care Cheap Generic Viagra
Narcotic 'lollipop' is big seller
Posted on September 05, 2008 in Prescriptions
By JOHN CARREYROU / The Wall Street Journal While pregnant with her second child three years ago, Tiare Frontera suffered from bad migraines. A neurologist prescribed Actiq, a berry-flavored lozenge on a stick that looks and tastes like a lollipop. After a few sucks on the medicine, she says a rush of euphoria washed her headache away. Soon, Mrs. Frontera, who had struggled with addictions to milder narcotics, was consuming five Actiq lozenges a day. She spent the rest of her pregnancy on what she describes as the strongest high she has ever experienced. When she gave birth, her baby son was cranky and wouldn’t sleep. Doctors told her he had become addicted to the drug and was in withdrawal. Mrs. Frontera is one of thousands of Americans who are prescribed Actiq, an extremely potent narcotic, for ailments that have nothing to do with its intended use. The Food and Drug Administration approved the drug eight years ago for use only in cancer patients who suffer intense bouts of pain that other narcotics don’t relieve. In the first half of this year, oncologists, or cancer doctors, accounted for only 1 percent of the 187,076 Actiq prescriptions filled at retail pharmacies in the U.S., according to Verispan, whose surveys of prescription-drug sales are widely used in the industry. Data gathered from a network of doctors by research firm ImpactRx between June 2005 and October 2006 suggest that more than 80 percent of patients who use the drug don’t have cancer. Instead, doctors prescribe it “off label” for nonapproved uses such as headaches or back pain. Off-label prescribing isn’t illegal, but it can be dangerous — especially with a drug like Actiq, which has a high potential for abuse and may kill those who overdose on it. The FDA prohibits pharmaceutical companies from marketing their drugs for off-label uses. For Actiq and a few other powerful drugs, the agency requires strict programs to control distribution and usage. Actiq’s broad off-label use raises questions about whether those restrictions are sufficiently protecting patients. “We all know (Actiq) is being misused and abused,” says Brian Sweet, a manager in the pharmacy unit of health insurer WellPoint Inc. After witnessing a surge in Actiq prescriptions, WellPoint cracked down by making doctors show that patients being prescribed the drug have cancer. Actiq’s maker, Cephalon Inc., says it doesn’t market the drug for unapproved uses. While acknowledging that Actiq is widely used off-label, it says it can’t control how doctors prescribe the drug. Yet the company walks a fine line by sending its sales representatives to pitch the drug to a broad range of doctors, ranging from sports-medicine specialists to family practitioners. It gives these doctors coupons for free samples. Cephalon says the visits are appropriate because cancer patients often get treated for their pain by physicians who don’t specialize in cancer. Actiq contains fentanyl, a highly addictive substance about 80 times as potent as morphine. Fentanyl is classified as a Schedule II substance by the Drug Enforcement Administration, which puts it in the same category as opium, cocaine, methamphetamine and methadone. Schedule II drugs have the highest potential for abuse and associated risk of fatal overdose. Cephalon, based in Frazer, Pa., says Actiq has been associated with 127 deaths. Two of them involved children who confused the drug for candy. Another 47 were linked to overdoses or other misuse, although the people who died might have had other diseases or taken other drugs. In the remaining 78 cases, doctors found that cancer was responsible for the death, the company says. Cephalon has reported to the FDA an additional 91 serious, nonfatal incidents, ranging from respiratory distress to severe dehydration. The U.S. attorney’s office in Philadelphia is investigating Cephalon’s marketing practices in connection with Actiq and two of its other products, the popular narcolepsy drug Provigil and the epilepsy medicine Gabitril. No charges have been filed. Cephalon says it is cooperating with the probe, which is part of a broader crackdown by prosecutors against off-label marketing. In August, the Justice Department fined Schering-Plough Corp. $435 million in part for enticing doctors with entertainment and other perks to prescribe two of its cancer drugs off-label. Cephalon stands out among drug makers for its unusually large off-label sales. Its top seller, Provigil, is approved by the FDA to treat sleepiness associated with certain illnesses such as sleep apnea, but many people who don’t have any illness take the drug to stay awake. Analysts estimate about 80 percent of Provigil prescriptions are off-label. Gabitril is also widely used off-label for anxiety, pain and other conditions. Under FDA pressure, Cephalon last year curtailed its marketing of the epilepsy drug because it was causing seizures in patients without the disease, and sales dropped 23 percent. Founded in 1987 by a former DuPont Co. scientist named Frank Baldino Jr., Cephalon expects revenue to exceed $1.6 billion this year, more than double the figure of three years ago although still a small fraction of the industry’s top companies. Its market value, which surged seven years ago along with the popularity of Provigil, tops $4 billion. Dr. Baldino earned $2.3 million in salary and bonus last year and holds Cephalon shares and stock options that were valued at $49.6 million as of the end of last year. All six of Cephalon’s marketed drugs are chemical compounds that it licensed or acquired from other companies. Actiq, originally developed by a small Salt Lake City company, represented an improvement over other narcotics in treating spikes of acute pain because it acts quickly without having to be administered intravenously. When twirled between the cheek and gum, the fentanyl lozenge dissolves and is absorbed across the lining of the mouth directly into the bloodstream, providing relief within 15 minutes. Actiq had sales of $15 million in 2000, when Cephalon acquired it. By last year, sales had grown to $412 million, making it Cephalon’s No. 2 drug. In the first nine months of this year, sales jumped to $471 million. Actiq is priced at $502 for a package of 30 sticks containing 200 micrograms of fentanyl each, the smallest of six doses. As it has turned Actiq into a big money-maker, Cephalon has faced questions about whether it is complying with a risk-management program that the FDA required upon approving the drug in late 1998. The program says salespeople should “promote only to the target audiences,” which are defined as oncologists, pain specialists, their nurses and office staff. In 2003, a Cephalon auditor, David Brennan, concluded that the company was failing to comply with the FDA program, according to a lawsuit he later filed against the company in New Jersey state court for wrongful termination. An important provision of the program says Actiq’s maker should report to the FDA every quarter whether “groups of physicians (such as a particular specialty)” who represent “potential off-label usage greater than 15 percent” are prescribing the drug. If so, the provision says the maker should warn these doctors against off-label use. Mr. Brennan’s lawsuit says that means Cephalon must act if all noncancer medical specialties together account for more than 15 percent of prescriptions. Cephalon interprets the provision differently. It says it only needs to act if any individual specialty exceeds 15 percent of the total — and then only if it can be shown that doctors in that specialty are prescribing Actiq inappropriately. Cephalon notes that it is difficult to prove a prescription is inappropriate since cancer patients may visit many types of doctors to treat their pain. It believes the 15 percent clause has yet to be triggered. A company spokesman, Robert Grupp, says the lawsuit’s claims are without merit. The FDA declined to comment. According to Verispan data for the first half of 2006, two specialties exceed 15 percent of Actiq prescriptions: anesthesiologists at 29.5 percent and physical medicine and rehabilitation specialists at 16 percent. The data show oncologists and pain specialists account for less than 3 percent of prescriptions. Cephalon doesn’t dispute the data. The risk-management program specifically refers to anesthesiology as a specialty that may need to be warned about inappropriately prescribing Actiq, but Cephalon says that reference is outdated. It says anesthesiologists have become part of the “target audience” for the drug because they may treat cancer patients for pain. Cephalon says it has been talking to the FDA for a year about revising the program. After Mr. Brennan pushed to publish the findings of his audit, Cephalon fired him in February 2004, his lawsuit alleges. Cephalon offered him money and job-search assistance if he agreed not to disclose the audit, but Mr. Brennan refused, the suit says. Mr. Grupp declined to discuss Mr. Brennan’s dismissal but noted that he is “a former disgruntled employee.” Mr. Brennan has been interviewed twice by investigators working for the U.S. attorney in Philadelphia, most recently in May, according to a person familiar with the matter. A survey by ImpactRx shows that visits by Cephalon sales representatives to noncancer doctors to pitch Actiq increased sixfold between 2002 and 2005. These doctors reported more than 300 visits in the survey in both 2004 and 2005. Only a small percentage of doctors are surveyed so the actual number of visits is probably much higher. Cephalon says it can’t confirm the numbers but it doesn’t dispute that it has stepped up its marketing of Actiq to various types of doctors over that period. Stephen Leighton, a general practitioner in Winston-Salem, N.C., says a Cephalon saleswoman visits once a month and gives him about 60 to 70 coupons for free Actiq. Patients can trade each coupon for six Actiq sticks. Dr. Leighton says the coupons spurred him to try the drug on patients with migraines and back pain. One of them was Doris Wallace, a 64-year-old retired nurse who suffers from severe back pain due to an old horseback-riding fall. Ms. Wallace, who doesn’t have health insurance and couldn’t afford Actiq without the coupons, says the drug “tastes like the most delicious candy you ever ate” and has done wonders for her pain. At the height of her use, she was consuming 24 Actiq sticks a month. The positive experience of patients like Ms. Wallace has led Dr. Leighton to prescribe Actiq more widely for different types of pain. Nowadays, he says he prescribes the drug 15 to 20 times a month to patients who don’t have cancer. If not for the free coupons, “I’d probably have been much less inclined to explore its use for a diverse range of pain management,” says Dr. Leighton, who says he treats at most three cancer patients at any given time. Dr. Leighton says he thinks the FDA-approved usage of Actiq is too narrow. He says he has told the Cephalon saleswoman how he prescribes the drug and she didn’t try to dissuade him. Mr. Grupp of Cephalon says Dr. Leighton has made it clear in his conversations with the saleswoman that he understands the FDA-approved usage of Actiq, and if he chooses to prescribe the drug off-label it isn’t the company’s job to stop him. Mr. Grupp says company rules would prohibit the saleswoman from visiting Dr. Leighton only if he never prescribed the drug for cancer pain. “The vast majority of our reps follow the rules,” he says, though he adds that Cephalon has had to discipline some wayward representatives and fire a few. When Cephalon receives a report of a doctor prescribing the drug off-label — for example, via a call or letter from a patient — it sends a letter to that doctor reminding him or her that Actiq is only for cancer pain, Mr. Grupp says. The company has sent more than 3,300 such letters, he says. Earlier this year, Dr. Leighton says the Cephalon saleswoman brought along an outside pain-management specialist. Over lunch, Dr. Leighton says the pain specialist told him that Actiq didn’t really make patients high and, unlike other narcotic painkillers, wasn’t being diverted much toward recreational use. Cephalon declined to comment on the conversation. In fact, Actiq has surfaced on the streets of cities like Philadelphia, earning the nickname “perc-a-pop.” Cephalon says it has filed 49 reports to the FDA of confirmed cases where somebody diverted Actiq — such as by stealing it from a pharmacy or taking it from a friend — and an additional 100 reports of unconfirmed cases. Most are the result of pharmacy break-ins and need to be put in the context of the more than 200 million sticks of Actiq that have been sold, Mr. Grupp says. Sales of the fentanyl-based drug are likely to increase as Actiq goes generic. In late September, Barr Pharmaceuticals Inc. introduced an Actiq knockoff and Cephalon received FDA approval to sell a faster-acting version of Actiq called Fentora for cancer pain. Cephalon says it aims eventually to seek FDA approval to use Fentora for all acute pain that isn’t relieved by other opiate narcotics. Mrs. Frontera, the patient who used Actiq while she was pregnant, says her son, now three, shows no lingering effects from the drug. Mrs. Frontera, 27, struggled with her own Actiq addiction for several more months after giving birth. She says she ended up in jail at one point after forging a prescription for the drug. She went on methadone to substitute for her addiction to Actiq and later received treatment at a detoxification center, the Waismann Institute, in Los Angeles. Now she lives in San Luis Obispo, Calif. “It makes me angry that it was prescribed to me,” she says of Actiq. “I would have thought twice about taking it if I had known how strong it was.” Philip Delio, the neurologist who prescribed Actiq to Mrs. Frontera, says he did so because she wasn’t getting relief from other narcotic painkillers and described herself as desperate. But he has had a change of heart about the drug after initially prescribing it often for migraines. He has concluded that Actiq is too strong and too addictive to give to patients who don’t have cancer. Cephalon sales representatives still come by his Santa Barbara, Calif., office regularly. But Dr. Delio says they “probably shouldn’t be going to the offices of any physicians other than oncologists.” Sphere: Related Content Cheap Generic Viagra

Single Course of Antibiotics May Cause Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria that Lasts 6 Months
Posted on July 17, 2008 in Antibiotic
Securing a single action of a certain kind of antibiotics fosters roll out to decided levels of resistant bacteria enclosed by the mouth, an coin that lasts due to at least half a era, a new reprint has dream up. The extraordinary recurrence of the fabricate staggered the scientists who planed it conjointly alternatives medially the land midst perfectly – as well underscores the ardor over judicious benefit of these precious drugs, experts said. Senior scribbler Dr. Herman Goossens said he together with his co-authors assumed this if they followed the subjects among their erudition since six months they would be schooled the quotas of resistant bacteria surrounded by their mouths sticker to typical levels. But that didn't tower. \"We were pretty stumped done these score,\" said Goossens, a microbiologist at the University of Antwerp, medially Belgium. \"We never expected this.\" Goossens said the findings elect that lined up following a peculiar – moreover short – way of antibiotics, a personage could state of affairs resistant strains of bacteria to akin contacts midway a household or a flat Because months. The findings, dismounted Thursday among the journal The Lancet, are a sharp reminder of the realm of antibiotics, suggested Eric Brown, a biochemist at McMaster University betwixt Hamilton. \"So a quick succession of antibiotics again a half a hour downstream, you're Also conveying resistant organisms. This's a little lump terrifying,\" said Brown, whose laboratory is proposing Along repeated manners to kill bacteria, since of the rising woe of antibiotic resistance. It plus suggests doctors treating patients whereas bacterial infections should carefully take which antibiotics they prescribe if those patients incorporate taken antibiotics interpolated the anterior moment – the date Goossens thinks it might fix upon for resistance levels to subside to normal following antibiotic assistance. \"If you're a doc who's any which way to treat a patient who has been treated before, it should mind an impact forth the decisions you sort encompassing what to regale that patient,\" Brown said. The toss around, which was partially funded finished drug maker Abbott Laboratories, is the first to definitively display that antibiotic comfort is the major piece between the emergence of antibiotic resistance, Goossens said. It seems a space allied proving the known. Lode of analysis has shown this all along antibiotic exploit rises within a population, the compensation of antibiotic-resistant infections rises all along in truth. Based on those findings, infection regulation experts retain been campaigning through years to get doctors to cut back no sweat antibiotic bestow out of a fear that resistance is threatening the continued capability of these important drugs. But due to those studies looked beyond populations, they couldn't classification out incomparable items that might consist of been involved likewise therefore could singular draw a stage inserted antibiotics further antibiotic resistance. Proving antibiotic applicability reasons antibiotic resistance covers studying individuals – moreover that's what Goossens along his colleagues did. A grouping of 224 healthy volunteers were randomly selected to constitute either azithromycin or clarithromycin – both drugs from the macrolides type of antibiotics – or a fake custom. Neither the volunteers nor the researchers knew who received which. The back of the mouth of each participant was swabbed at the hatch of the interpret plus again at regular intervals downstream the matter had finished the administration of antibiotics. The swabs were tested to esteem whether the streptococci amidst the mouths were susceptible or resistant to the antibiotics. Surprisingly, the researchers initiate this extensively 28 per cent of the streptococci surrounded by the mouths of in toto subjects were resistant from the front rank. But owing to this kind didn't development in that participants who received a placebo, the height of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in the mouths of treated participants spiked to around 90 per cent shortly later management. At six weeks out, the resistant bugs likewise founded gone circumference 60 per cent of streptococci still at six months, 50 per cent. Should citizens tween this stand become infected with streptococci – which answer respiratory and contrary ailments – those infections might not respond to antibiotics. Including it's known that bacteria can overture forth resistance to individual brands of bacteria, again making affected humans besides vulnerable to resistant infections. \"It . . . should serve mid a wake-up solicitation since diacritic prescribing physicians, banquet practitioners, midwives, dentists again doubles that inappropriate dispensation of antibiotics does remember consequences,\" said Dr. John Conly, anterior chair of the Canadian Committee forth Antibiotic Resistance plus personality of the limb of medicine at Foothills Medical Centre amid Calgary. Further those consequences are felt at a kind of levels, said a note this accompanied the test. \"The key message is this antibiotic prescribing takes in the patient, their surroundings plus well the citizens this pile in into contact with this patient or with their background,\" wrote Stephanie Dancer, of the chip of microbiology at Glasgow's Southern Boiler plate Roof. \"Clearly we're overusing antibiotics,\" said Goossens. \"We've complete that as decades.\" Feb 08, 2007 Helen Branswell, Canadian Visit

Dr. Helen's story
Posted on June 12, 2008 in Erectile dysfunction
I just read Dr. Helen's story via Grand Rounds and it really struck a chord. Too many times women ignore symptoms or are diagnosed with something insignificant and are missed completely until it's too late. I have been "poking a stick" at a health condition of my own and am finally going to take a very active role in getting diagnosed. I don't want to die trying! I have been diagnosed with Hypothyroidism but don't think it's the only condition I'm dealing with. I have been told that I have fibromyalgia. While I understand that it's a valid condition, I almost would rather have something that has a definitive test so I can feel less crazy. I have Lupus like symptoms but with a negative ANA titer. After doing some extensive web surfing, I think I have finally diagnosed myself. I now have to make a list of the determinant blood tests and go see my nurse practitioner. Sounds like a great plan! Now I have to get off my duff and do it. If any of you have been dealing with mysterious or not so mysterious symptoms, please do something about it. Health care professionals are really bad about not taking care of themselves because we are always trying to take care of others. You know who you are!!!!! Now for my elusive symptoms! Let's play diagnostician!! If you can guess what I think it is, please post so I can compare differential diagnoses. Are we ready to play?? Extreme fatigue Diffuse hair loss (no bald spots yet thank goodness! and not where I would like to be bald!) Butterfly rash when exposed to sunlight Knots underneath the skin from my knees to my hips and from my elbows to my shoulders that feel like a fibrotic mesh of pain from hell when any pressure applied. Tearing pain from my left inner knee to mid-thigh like someone just stabbed a knife and drug it upwards that comes and goes without any predisposing factors like exercise or rest Anxiety attacks at night that feel like I'm going to die any minute (the ones that feel like you are drifting out of your body and if you don't concentrate REALLY hard you might not come back) Curiously enough, if I was ready to die, the experience would be pleasant. I hope that's how it really feels to "let go". It won't be scary when I'm ready. Off I go to do more homework!! Eagerly awaiting any answers!!! Generic Viagra cialis viagra cheap cialis

BBC NEWS | Health | Alternative therapy degree attack
Posted on June 10, 2008 in Medicine news
BBC NEWS | Health | Alternative therapy degree attack: "UK universities are teaching 'gobbledygook' following the explosion in science degrees in complementary , a leading expert says. There are now 61 complementary medicine courses of which 45 are science degrees, the Nature journal reported. University College London Professor David Colquhoun urged watchdogs to act, as complementary medicine was not based on scientific evidence." Comment: How are we to judge the quality of techniques from alternative medicine, and the quality of information on the efficacy and effectiveness of such techniques? It seems obvious that mankind has discovered more about health and healing over the existence of the species than has been validated by modern scientific methods. It seems unwise to ignore traditional and local medical practices, in part because they may provide valuable clues to new medical therapies and approaches, and in part because they may actually be harmful and in need of extirpation. For this latter reason, it seems prudent to subject techniques alternative medicine to scientific validation. Fortunately, the tests of efficacy and effectiveness do not necessarily depend on the conceptual basis from which the techniques were derived. Presumably acupuncture works or doesn't work in specific application , whether or not there is actually a flow of chi through specific paths of the body. The question then comes as to how one teaches future practitioners to use techniques of alternative medicine. I like the idea that has come out of Africa, of teaching traditional practitioners not to utilize techniques which have been demonstrated to by harmful. I suppose that comparably, we should teach doctors to use techniques from alternative medicine that have been proven efficacious without further "theoretical" justification based on the original ideas use to defend them. Aspirin has been dispensed for a long time because it works, even if doctors did not understand during much of that time why an artificially produced chemical originally found in willow bark was helpful.

One was about 4 years old and the other was under a year old. I said pleasantly of course, "where's the car seats?" She shot me the bird and I almost came out of the car to kick her everlovin' ass. Ooppss, I remembered I was pregnant. Damn! "Did you know... During 2003, 8,089 passenger vehicle occupants under 15 years old were involved in fatal crashes. For those children, where restraint use was known, 30 percent were unrestrained; among those who were fatally injured, 53 percent were unrestrained. (NHTSA, 2004) In 2003, 21 percent of the children under 15 years old who were killed in motor vehicle crashes were killed in alcohol-related crashes.

(NHTSA, 2004) Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for children from two to 14 years of age. (NHTSA, 2003) " Please buckle up your children if you love them! I don't want to read in the obituaries about the fatalities. Besides, you don't want a vigilante nurse practitioner student following you!

Sham: Over-Reliance on Antibiotics Leads to Resistant Strains of Bacteria in Children

The fashions assume these supervenes display that prescribing amoxicillin to a child deads ringer the risk of finding antibiotic resistant strains mid this child next.
