Virtual reality savior…
Doctors have used virtual reality to save the lives of conjoined twin sisters. Yeah, it sounds dry and too technical, but it isn’t. Read it and have some hope for the future!
Autism breakthrough?
A drug more than a century old may hold the key to combating autism symptoms, according to a study by researcher Dr Robert Naviaux of the San Diego School of Medicine. Go here to learn about suramin, a drug first developed in 1916, and join me in praying that the drug will actually free those who suffer from it.
Heartburn meds…
If you think most doctors bother to read the microscopic fine print on the information fold-outs that come with modern medicine, you are dead wrong, and if you count on them to do what is really your job, you may well end up actually dead.
So all you heartburn and acid reflux sufferers take notice and protect yourselves.
Yuletide miracle?
A man who lost his eyesight twenty years ago has now regained nearly all of it, and doctors have no clue as to why. I don’t know if Kevin Coughlin’s diet, prayer, and meditation are the reason, but I wish him the best. He is getting the most sonderful Christmas present, isn’t he?
Statins are a killer waste…
How many times do we have to be told this before we believe it? The anecdotal studies all the cholesterol nonsense is based upon are derived from a study done in the 1940’s when scientists did not even know there were two kinds of cholesterol.
If you take statins, make your doctor explain why he thinks you should. If he hasn’t also advised you to take CoQ10, ask him if he even knows how statins work. They destroy your body’s naturally produced CoQ10, so the next question is why he’s good with a chemical which destroys something your body obviously needs and doesn’t replace it. Then ask him what the first warning for a statin is. He should say “muscle cramps”. Then ask him what the most critical muscle in your body is. If he manages to say “the heart” without his head exploding you will at least now you have forced him to think. I would then get swiftly about the business of finding yourself another doctor, preferably one less likely to kill you by following the standard medical advice.
The medical profession has developed the same bug about cholesterol as it has about salt. The fact is that you need both in order to live. Without them you will die.
Autism cure?
Not a cure, but quite possibly a treatment which will improve the lives of autism sufferers and their caregivers. I can’t see how this will lead researchers to the underlying causes , nor will it stop the avalanche of doctors and psychologists who diagnose “on the scale” on autism even when it is not justified, but any help at this stage is appreciated and valued.
