10/30/2007 - Are you safe from MRSA?

Heard about the drug-resistant “superbug” that’s been making headlines around the nation over the last few weeks? It’s just more proof of what I’ve been saying for years: Modern medicine is just as likely to kill you as it is to save your life.

10/29/2007 - Big Pharma experiments on babies

GlaxoSmithKline has just dropped one rung lower on the ladder to hell, in my ever so humble opinion. Who ever heard of something as unethical as using experimental drugs on infants?

10/05/2007 - Almond Joyless

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I was under the impression that the FDA had rules and regulations to protect unsuspecting consumers from false labeling.

It’s been almost two months now since I’ve shared with you any of the oddball news that I always manage to accumulate in my pile of topics. So without further ado
