Topic of the week: Swine Flu
There has been a lot of concern with the spread of the “swine flu” in the media. I want to start with some facts to diffuse the panic. First, according to the CDC, regular flu causes over 55, 000 deaths in a year in the U.S. alone. Since the outbreak of the “swine flu” pandemic, as of […]
Perspective on vaccine – autism ruling

However, a week later, a different case in vaccine court awarded $800k for the care of an autistic child. Dr. Sherri Tenpenny, a local holistic osteopath, wrote a great blog on the subject here […]
Threats to small farms and farmers markets part II
Evidently H.R. 875 is dead. However there are other bills coming up that may be even worse. In my earlier article I alluded to the NAIS bills that seem to be going forward. HR 1332 would put a lot of small farms out of business because of table to restaurant record keeping of produce and […]
Feeding the World II (Biochar)

Spain Halts Gardasil Program
Spain has halted a program to have every teenage girl inoculated with Gardasil, after reports of illness. The news report does seem linked to a particular batch of only 75,000 doses.

Splenda worse than I thought
In my new patient class, (which is free and open to the public), I have stated that Splenda (trade name for sucralose) while still worse for you than sugar, wasn’t as bad as Nutrasweet (aspartame). New information shows that Splenda is worse than I thought. According to a recent study on rats, those that were […]
