The Greatest Story Never Told
Leslie Carol Botha: In September 2008, a FDA document on Gardasil®, noted that that 73.3% of girls in the clinical trials developed ‘new medical conditions’ post vaccination. In addition, 17 girls died during the clinical trials. Based on this disturbing data, girls are not completing the serious because they are suffering adverse reactions. Data is pretty damn close to only 38 out of every 100 who actually receive the second and third shots.
Sixty percent of young adults between the ages of 18 and 29 may not truly understand how proper use of contraception can prevent pregnancy, according to a new study from the Guttmacher Institute, which reports abstinence-only sex education may be leaving young adults with a subpar understanding of sexual health.
Something as simple as a stamp in a patient’s chart to remind medical providers about vaccinating against human papillomavirus nearly quintupled the percentage of eligible patients being vaccinated in one outpatient office, according to a poster presented at the annual meeting of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.
A recent study has shown that a potent sunscreen ingredient, oxybenzone, may be a cause of endometriosis. This condition occurs when uterine tissue grows in abnormal sites in the abdomen and causes severe pain.
Our core physiology relies on subtle organic timers: disrupt them, and effects range from jet lag to schizophrenia. Exactly how and when life began keeping time is unclear, but a candidate for the original biological clock may solve the mystery.
Houston researchers on Wednesday reported positive results with an experimental breast cancer vaccine, a promising development in an emerging field in cancer care.
The vaccine, one of many now in testing, significantly decreased the recurrence rate of breast cancer in women who had been treated for a common tumor type, according to a study led by the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center.
Leslie Carol Botha: Gluten is a yeast product…too much yeast causes an acidic environment – and acidic environment in the body creates inflammation. Inflammation creates pathological and mental disorders. Wonder if eliminating gluten and balancing the body’s PH will bring the mind back into balance. There are studies proving that the addition of micronutrients to the body can alter a fractured mind bringing back into balance.
Leslie Carol Botha: The FDA and women’s health in the same sentence makes me nervous. I think it is pretty clear that the FDA does not hold the health of women – nor anyone else for that matter- as a priority. It has become pretty clear that they are the government puppet for the pharmaceutical companies. Dr. Elizabeth Kissling wrote an excellent highlighting some of the FDA’s obvious disregard for the health of women.
A job can increase the risk of depression in both men and women, but for different reasons, a new study from Canada suggests.
Women in the study who felt they were not appreciated at their job, or were not appropriately rewarded for their efforts, had an increased risk of depression, compared with women who felt they were rewarded appropriately, the study showed. No such link was found in men.
With Abbott’s $1.5 billion settlement of a whistleblower-initiated case this week, Abbott joins an infamous list of pharma companies that have paid more than one billion dollars to the federal government for illegal marketing practices, including promoting prescription drugs for uses not approved by the FDA, paying financial inducements to increase sales and engaging in practices that pose grave danger to patients’ health and lives.
