Madeleine Begun Kane presents Ode To Genetically Altered Cats posted at Mad Kane’s Humor Blog, saying, “humor about hypoallergenic cats”. 
I would like to get a genetically altered tiger, who does not bite.
Ruth Schaffer presents Interleukin Gene Linked to Crohn’s Disease posted at The Biotech Weblog. 
   This is the serious stuff for serious folks. Could be interesting for patients too. I actually read something about about Interleukin 10 and CD 14 and Crohn’s.
 

 

Disease

Will presents Dirty = Good? and the ‘Hygiene Hypothesis’ posted at metaVitae, saying, “Maybe too clean is a bad thing.”
I actually read a little about that in the past. The children exposed to bunch of environmental bugs and worms do suffer allergies less often. However they might suffer parasites. Maybe we need some balance. Hygiene and vaccinations are practically  the only things that allowed people to extend average life span from 30 to 60 years. All other medical achievements gave maybe 10-20 years of  benefits on average.

Linda Freedman presents Using Bad Health to Get What You Want posted at Everyone needs therapy? Lessons from a family therapist, saying, “This post looks at patients who using poor health to manipulate others or who invent poor health to manipulate professionals and family members. It is the functional aspect of this that makes providers crazy, and the time they waste, obviously, is virtually unethical. I make suggestions for systems intervention.”
 
Do you manipulate other people?  Admit it.

Jon Swift presents Rush Limbaugh Takes on the Wheelchair Lobby posted at Jon Swift, saying, “Democrats have a long history of politicizing health care by saying that everyone should have it, even people who can’t afford it.”
 Jon writes:
You would think they would be a little appreciative for all the wheelchair ramps and the Braille elevator numbers (which I have yet to see anyone use) which have cost businesses a lot of money. You would think that after passing the Americans for Disabilities Act they would just say thank you and shut up. But they just keep wanting more.
 
John Hill presents Why Diets Dont Work posted at Universe Of Success.
 John states: The key to losing weight is in the foods you eat, at what times you eat and the frequency of your meals

Ririan presents 10 Useless or Even Dangerous First Aid Myths posted at Ririan Project.
Yeah, you really should not watch Hollywood movies if you want to survive. Better read some good book. 
 
 
 
Jon Schnaars presents Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Affects Millions posted at Anxiety, Addiction and Depression Treatments, saying, “Hey!

 aparna presents Breakfast is essential for good health posted at Beauty & Personality Grooming.

Phil B. presents Relieve Carpel Tunnel Syndrome posted at Phil for Humanity, saying, “Do you want to know of a simple and easy secret to increase your productivity on the computer, while at the same time help prevent and even relieve carpel tunnel syndrome?” 
Phil writes about his personal experience, thought it rather look like an ad for a program. Anyway there are some tips about the syndrome. Also I think the Latin name is still “carpal”.
There is actually a quiz for carpal tunnel at RDoctor if you like. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Quiz and some thoughts about numbness 

Symptoms

Wenchypoo presents When Elderly Need Financial Help posted at Mental Wastebasket, saying, “Sorry to barge in on your parade, but there is no “mental impairment” carnival, or one dealing with senior issues. I submitted here instead.” 
Well, why not. Daily Living Activities are related to the gerontology and psychiatry.

Treatment

Wenchypoo presents “All I’ll ever know I learned way back in medical school.” posted at Mental Wastebasket, saying, “A consumer’s opinion of the medical industry.”
I would say – controversial. Majority of physicians I worked with had some additional training and read significant amount of medical literature. Thought, maybe I worked with good ones only? And about the system? Well… Yeah…That’s something on the point.
 
 
Controversial topics:Brandon Peele presents The Future of the Body – Book Review posted at GT. He writes: Stanford Medical School is doing research on ITP.
Then there is some talk about levitation and telepathy. As soon as I read that I became sort of hesitant. Since, I never read really about any controlled study, thought I was really interested in many psychological (not para-psychological) phenomenons, I am not sure. So, I believe in hypnosis (since I used it and it worked), Aikido and mediation. But about levitation – nah… Too many physics laws should be broken.
Unless somebody shows me how to do that.
 
Sam presents Fluoride, Are You Getting Too Much. Fluoride in drinking water may be a mistake. posted at Surfer Sam and Friends.
I already wrote in the previous posts that I use fluoride-containing tooth paste and do not believe that at the low dose you can get many problems and moreover fluorosis. Many of those topics were carefully studied in the professional and military medicine and I still believe rather original research than some speculations.  However you can judge for yourself, look at the post.
