No, I don’t mean tribal warfare or family disputes. I mean blood for transfusions that are filthy. Disease-ridden! It’s something the US specializes in: getting blood from students, tramps and druggies for a few dollars and then selling it to the rest of the world at a huge profit, on the understanding it’s a quality-controlled […] The post Dirty Blood appeared first on Dr. Keith Scott-Mumby.

Many a big concept is made up of small details, much as a painting is the sum of numerous tiny brushstrokes.

Leaving out the ethnic elements woven into the findings, this much was clear: More educated people live longer.

From time to time I get told off by one or more subscribers, for getting involved in things I shouldn’t! It rather misses the point: that doctors should get involved with anything that isn’t as it should be. Holism means TOTAL health, don’t you know. One day I got to thinking about “Internet health”. I made that up and, no, I don’t mean health ON the Internet; I mean health OF the Internet. I was all fired up to do a piece on Google (which is a nasty, contagious disease). New Scientist recently ran a piece, pointing out the dangers of downloading images via Google. Apparently, that’s the latest loophole the hackers are exploiting, to get malware onto your computer. It’s a war out there and what you see on Yahoo and Google searches is the top 5% of a seething cesspit of crime, fraud, filth and malware. You wouldn’t want to see the half of it. The search engine spiders do their best to keep it out of view. But talk about pathogens! These evil hacker bugs and human parasites out there are trying to infect your healthy life.
