Cure Diabetes - (USA)
by Whitney Waller Is animal use necessary? Yes, if we are to continue seeking to understand and cure disease in both people and other animals. Certainly, animal use would not be necessary if we were content to allow our medical knowledge and skill to stay where it is today. But for many reasons we can’t afford that: Many devastating diseases — such as rheumatoid arthritis, AIzheimer’s, diabetes, muscular dystrophy, schizophrenia, and many forms of cancer–still lack cures or effective treatment

No new trial for murderer of child-molesting priest - (USA)
In a ruling this morning, the Supreme Judicial Court rejected a plea from Joseph Druce to overturn his conviction for beating and strangling John Geoghan in 2003 at a facility for prisoners who might have been at risk in a regular prison. Druce, arguing his own case, claimed he deserved a new trial because the Department of Corrections was out to get him and because his lawyer and the judge in his trial both sucked, in part because they failed to keep him adequately drugged up during court ses

When Irresponsible and Abusive Drinking Leads to Serious Health Problems - (USA)
For several years alcoholism exploration has revealed the fact that there is strong association between alcohol addiction and life-threatening health conditions. As an illustration, in 2005, scientific research demonstrated the fact that alcohol abuse and alcoholism cost the United States an estimated $220 billion on an annual basis. It can be emphasized that this enormous alcohol-related expense was significantly more than the cost linked with cancer ($196 billion) or with obesity ($133

Those Unethical Ethicists - (USA)
Why is it that Australia seems to produce so many “ethicists” who would perhaps have been perfectly at home in a certain European nation about 70 years ago (beginning with ‘G’ and ending with ‘y’). Why do they so often seem to be advocates for the culture of death, and so very devoid of any respect for human life? Think of some Australian ethicists, philosophers, and biomedical experts such as Peter Singer, or Alan Trounson, or Julian Savulescu. They are all prominent medical thinkers or pract

First - I believe Global Warming is real. WHY? Because I love to garden.

Second, I have talked a lot on this blog that I am obese. I recently learned that I have to have major surgery at the end of May for the removal of PCOS related growths that I have had for a number of years which have caused my belly to distend and make me app

How can the alternative medicine community adjust to this demographic shift? What are they to do? I’m glad you asked! It turns out that immigrants are palomas ripe for the plucking. Now, we’ve talked about the ethics of alternative medicine, and how “meaning well” is not exculpatory. If you promote quackery, it’s wrong, even if you bel

The Real Truth About Homeopathy - (USA)
King of Ferrets wanted people to look something up for him yesterday, presumably because he's part of a generation of spoiled, entitled teenagers who think the world needs to be handed to them on a silver platter. I at first refused to feed into his superiority complex, because I am a responsible adult, but then he eventually piqued my curiosity enough to open The Google and look for his topic, something called "constitutional homeopathy."What I found was a web page ripe for the fisking.
