Some folks are pretty appalled that my husband and I had our children vaccinated. People write and tell me that vaccinations are dangerous. They warn me about the side effects of this vaccine and that one. They share alternative, natural ways to improve immunity. What we’ve got here is a failure to communicate. I am sorry that I did not explain myself better the first time. Read more.

Posted October 26, 2018
One of the fundamental errors in thinking about measles vaccine effectiveness is that receipt of measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine equates to bona fide immunity against measles virus. Indeed, it is commonly claimed by health organizations like the CDC that receiving two doses of the MMR vaccine is “97 percent effective in preventing measles,” despite a voluminous body of contradictory evidence from epidemiology and clinical experience.

Posted October 26, 2018
The pineal gland has been known as the ‘seat of soul’ for hundreds of years. Could fluoride, a ubiquitous vector of toxicity in the modern world, actually be calcifying this gland and literally turning it to stone?

Preventing Falls
Posted October 26, 2018
Being a physician doesn’t qualify me as an expert on falling. But because I am 91 years old, I have mighty good motivation to keep learning. In my experience, many geriatrists (specialists in the problems of older people) seem to lack the curiosity needed to listen to, and learn from, their patient’s questions. Curiosity is motivated by a desire to really know the “whats” and “whys” of the changes that come with age and also by the desire to hear the patient’s story. They can’t get into these topics because, under the present medical care system, they don’t have enough time. But common sense dictates that they need to discuss the basis of these problems before just prescribing pharmaceutical relief. Read more.

He pressed on in his effort to expose the problem, writing a paper on the matter that was published in 2012. What happened during his medical education, considered the gold-standard in the United States, that made such a negative impression on this young physician? Read more.
Looking Back, Looking Forward: Cancer and Vaccines
Posted October 26, 2018
Many people might be shocked to learn that cancer is the leading disease-related cause of death in American children. Over the past several decades, there have been significant increases in various types of childhood cancers, including leukemia and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
