Vaccines are needed by pharmaceutical industry - to make huge multi-billion business.

Vaccines create lots and lots of serious unexpected problems.

We need simple things:

1. Unpolluted environment (air, water, food, house...)

2. Strong and well regulate immune system

heya brad,
i have been under versed and totally lost hours of my life. one woman lost the whole day. well, this certainly reminds me of the movie
"total recall" and i can't wait until drugs can put good memories in my mind so i can overcome the tragedy. maybe for those of us who believe in God, this is what God does to us.

You don't actually need

You don't actually need references to make such statements, these are facts that we can see daily, plus there are plenty scientifically researches that say the same thing. I am actually worried about that and many parents don't see the danger. The immune system is created in first years of life, that's why it's better to let our children play in the ground or experience "non-sterile" environments so their anti corps learn to protect them. This is the mechanism. From what I see, many children and also many grown ups are facing immune system problems because their lack of defense. This is the case of my cousin, now he is taking immublast to strengthen his system.

This is not a bad idea

This is not a bad idea actually and it would have maximum effect for children. Vitamins are on the top of my options as I have a weak immune system and it's hard for me to face this. I have to be careful with everything I touch and eat. Now I am taking immublast and I hope things will get better.

Well it looks like you got

Well it looks like you got it all explained here, in fact I found things I didn't know about. To mimic caloric restriction as a means to birth control it looks very challenging, I tell you that, I also find it hard to believe... My aunt (36) follows an yasmin birth control program, i never heard any complains from her.

That's good advice,

That's good advice, supplements should be some kind of last resort if other things didn't resolve the problem.

autoimmune disorders and "sterile"

Anonymous — Thu, 24 May 2007 19:03:32 -0700

I'm 100% with person who submitted "Bovine Manure." I also grew up on a farm with my hands in the dirt being exposed to every germ in the book. I developed an auto immune disease at 14. So the theory is crap. The best information I have found is that the root trigger for this is eating gluten and genetic predisposition. I have a parent, grandparent and brother with other autoimmmune diseases but different from mine. So don't eat wheat, barley, rye and maybe oatmeal and after about 1-2 weeks you will see improvement. I already have. So there!

Versed

Jackie — Thu, 07 Dec 2006 19:45:54 -0800

Thanks John! After months of trying, I finally got the Hospital Board in my state to do an investigation into my mistreatment. As I believed, these people did administer this drug and others without that pesky "informed consent." I have an attorney now that is looking into it further. The anesthesia nurse says I "did not object" to the anesthesia AFTER he had already injected me with Versed. Maybe he won't be doing this to others who would prefer not to have their memory tampered with. One can only hope!

Dealing with a pandemic in the post-internet world

Askanio — Mon, 04 Dec 2006 05:35:30 -0800

As the tail of the online inventory of books grows ever longer, what is the point of bricks-and-mortar bookshops? If we can choose our own favourites online, and often pay less for them, do we really need vast book emporia on our high streets carrying only a fraction of whatâ€™s available? At QI we think itâ€™s time for a new model bookshop. Books are important. Every human activity finds its correlative in a book. Books change lives. They are tactile, moveable portals to an infinity of new worlds. Instead of dull warehouses, bookshops should become high street academies, enriching people with knowledge and leading the campaign to make the world more interesting.

Dealing with a pandemic in the post-internet world

BiSHoP — Fri, 01 Dec 2006 05:05:49 -0800

You may remember that I'm working on a presentation to the eHealth Forum in September which has as its focus the role of ICT in dealing with a pandemic. But the more I think about it from the information perspective, the more it looks like a pitch to unwind the repressive reporting environment that is being constructed around the terrorist bogeyman.

Not sure about this

Paul — Wed, 04 Oct 2006 01:40:22 -0700

Hi Brad

Interesting idea - but I'm not sure just how important it is that patients receive calls - I guess they are in hospital to get better, and that often includes rest...

Having said that, the phones are there, and there to stay.

What about using an RFID patient tag? Given its primary use is to avoid Wrong Site Surgery and provide other more basic medical/care info to staff, maybe it could be linked to the phone. If the read range of the phone's RFID reader was a couple of yards and its by the bed, maybe it would only receive calls when the patient is in bed/in their chair. Then you just have to add a tiny sensor to communicate if you are asleep or not - when you are, calls would be barred. The only other situation is staff examining you - maybe you just have to ignore the phone in that case ;-) Or maybe it sees their tag is present and also bars calls....?!

Cheers

Paul.

DND

The phones in hospitals are rarely PBX phones with such a button, but I have not seen one with automatic timing and an easy and simple UI.

Isn't this just a DND (do not disturb) feature, already present on most phone systems and SIP phones?

Promptly find yourself a

John Fenton — Tue, 18 Jul 2006 21:27:43 -0700

Promptly find yourself a good medical malpractice attorney. You may very well have a claim. Even cases where people have consented to medial procedures, without being provided a full disclosure of the side effects and risks, have resulted in significant damage awards. Of course the hospital may have defenses, such as proving that your suggested method was more unsafe than the medication selection that the hospital chose.

Doctor's date rape drug or medical zombie!

Jackie Murray — Sat, 08 Jul 2006 17:14:50 -0700

I recently had a surgery on my arm. I told the doctor that I DID NOT WANT a general anesthesia because, silly me, I LIKE TO KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME. They gave me VERSED unknown to me and did not include a description of the amnesia. I consider this an ASSAULT on my person. Unfortunately for them and me, the drug merely turned me into a ZOMBIE! I was aware of what was happening to me but completely unable to defend myself against any of their procedures including giving me that general I told them not to. I remember every snide remark they made AND I did everything they asked me to do without hesitation, and against my will! They are surprized that I remember it ALL, but are unapologetic. I want to sue the drug company and the hospital for giving me a psycotropic drug without my knowledge or consent! Any ideas?
