| 06/30/2006 - The Storm of the Century's disgraceful aftermath |
| According to a recent Associated Press article, the Federal Emergency Management Association (FEMA) - yes, the same folks who botched the Hurricane Katrina response so badly last summer - has yet another disaster on its hands. Thankfully, it |
 |
| 06/27/2006 - The new, "all-natural" 7Up soft drink |
| I spend a lot of time talking about natural alternatives to drugs, natural foods (like raw milk and grass-fed beef), and the natural order of things. But obviously, just because something's natural doesn't mean it's good for you - or that |
|
| 06/26/2006 - Dangerous levels of toxic benzene |
| According to a recent UK Daily Mail article and other sources, a large-scale spill of the ingredients in this drink (advertised for its healthiness, although it's really nothing more than sugar-water fortified with a little orange juice) has threatened to |
|
| 06/23/2006 - Hormones, hot sauce, and hot lead flyin' |
| According to a recent New York Times article, some new research suggests that the mere handling of firearms triggers aggression in men. A group of psychologists from Knox College in Illinois enrolled 30 male students in a study that |
|
| 06/20/2006 - Matters gestative and digest-ative |
| If you've been a reader of mine for any length of time at all, you know how I feel about the vast majority of abortions. But since this is a medical forum at least as much as a political one, I try not to be too preachy about it… |
|
| 06/19/2006 - Age-old road rage = brand-new drug craze |
| We've all heard of road rage incidents - and I'm sure most of us have been on the receiving end of them at one time or another. They're nothing new. As long as there have been cars (and before that, horses), there have no doubt been hotheads |
|
| 06/16/2006 - Crimes (and) passions |
| Boy, I'll tell you - I've heard of outrageous tales involving criminals and the luxuries some states accord them in prison, but this story out of Boston may just take the cake… |
|
| 06/13/2006 - Decision by (biased) committee -- after committee… |
| In the last Daily Dose, I relayed to you the sobering picture of the side effects of treating the made-by-medicine "disease" of ADHD, as painted by the first-ever national analysis of these treatments by the CDC. |
|
| 06/12/2006 - Physician-assisted psychoses - by the numbers |
| If you've been reading me for any length of time at all now, you should have surmised that I believe a lot of today's "diseases" are nothing more than fabrications of the drug industry to create demand for their poisons. It's kind of |
|
| 06/09/2006 - The 3 foolproof steps we'll never take to curb illegal immigration |
| In the last two Daily Doses, I've laid out for you not only the frightening statistics showing how large a problem illegal immigration is, but how frighteningly out of touch our leaders (both foreign and domestic) are with what John Q. Public wants |
|
| 06/06/2006 - Illegal Immigration part II |
| But you don't need statistics to see which way the wind's blowing here. Just consider the reaction that heads of state in the Latin world are having to the recent (and largely politically driven) American fixation on potential new immigration control |
|
| 06/05/2006 - Illegal Immigration |
| However, I can remain silent no longer on the illegal immigration issue. The unchecked flow of illegal (sorry, undocumented) border-hoppers from the south is washing over us like a Texas flash flood. |
|
| 06/02/2006 - PSA test |
| I've been saying for years that the Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) test for prostate cancer was worthless. Readings often vary from one test to the next in individual men, yet a single "elevated" reading is enough to convince many men to |
