    Clinical Trial Transparency – A Long Time In Coming

    Wednesday, March 19th, 2008

    Pharmaceutical companies have been under fire recently because data that showed that some of their drugs had significant side-effects or were not as effective as we were told or that they had serious human research protection violations when studied were hidden from the public and even the FDA. The journal Science, recently reviewed a new […]

    A group of scientists are getting together for one of the largest collaborations ever attempted which is to catalog every life form on earth into one website, the Encyclopedia of Life.

    Weakend Smog Control – Bush Intervenes Yet Again

    Monday, March 17th, 2008

    In another astonishing push of politics over fact and science, President Bush forced the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) to weaken the smog standards for cities despite the known need to reduce smog drastically to reduce pollution induced health problems. What this administration is saying is that citizens of America, we are not interested in your […]

    The World is Changing – Unfortunately the U.S. isn’t When it Comes to Toxicity

    Thursday, March 13th, 2008

    In a remarkable book written by Mark Schapiro Exposed: The Toxic Chemistry of Everyday Products and What’s at Stake for American Power, he details how the European Union (EU) has supplanted the United States as the leader in the fight against environmental toxicity. On June 1, 2007, the parliament of the EU voted for a […]

    The Environmental Destruction Agency

    Wednesday, March 12th, 2008

    The US EPA, which once stood for the Environmental Protection Agency, is an outright sham today due to its director Stephen Johnson. He has done what he could to demoralize the staff, disregards law, science and the rules of the agency and forgets what it is his agency was mandated by Congress to do which […]

    Vaccines and Money, It’s All About The Profit

    Tuesday, March 11th, 2008

    There is quite a bit of controversy surrounding vaccines and autism as well as whether flu shots really benefit anyone. For years, the pharmaceutical industry has bemoaned how vaccines didn’t make them any money so they were really for the benefit of the people. Oh really?  Click on this link to an industry newsletter and […]

    Monday, March 10th, 2008

    Most of us have been affected by breast cancer. Whether you are a survivor, know someone who has had it (my mother) or have a friend who has or did have it, breast cancer is a devastating disease. Major corporations such as the makers of Campbell’s soup have jumped on the “Go For The Cure” […]

    Heart Attacks and Cholesterol – Public Policy That Makes No Sense

    Friday, March 7th, 2008

    I have touted the book Overdosed America by Dr. John Abramson over and over. It is shocking to me that so few people, especially doctors, know that high cholesterol and heart attacks are only correlated through the age of 40. Lowering weight, eating right, not smoking and exercising have more benefits and reduce heart attack […]

    More Proof Our Health Care System Needs A Major Overhaul

    Wednesday, March 5th, 2008

    The start of the Reagan Administration in 1981 was supposed to bring us something known as trickle down economics whereby giving large tax breaks to the wealthy and large corporations would trickle down to the rest of us and make our lives better. While I don’t want to get into a political debate here, what […]
