Time for an Honest Appraisal of the Recent Ebola Feeding Frenzy
I warned you it was going to be a non-event and I was right. The latest count stands at 5,165. That’s out of 14,383 “cases”. That’s far less than the hysterical 80% fatality rate. But you know what? The real statistics are far, far lower than that: a lot of the deaths were attributed to […]

High Doses of Antibiotics Increase Antibiotic Resistance
Every day, the danger of antibiotic resistance is gaining more attention in the media. Finally, the scientific community and medical industry are realizing that our global dependence on antibiotics – prescribed by doctors, flooding our household products, and even injected into our food supply – could be a bad idea in regards to long-term fighting […]

Is Alkaline Food Really Good For You?
Is Alkaline Food & Water Beneficial? I got another email recently on a hoary old topic that keeps raising questions over and over: alkaline food and alkaline water. Is it good for you to eat “alkaline” food and take pH adjusted alkaline water? NO! It’s B*S*. I’ve been saying so for years. What is TRUE is […]

“Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria” Terrorists Make Plans While You Sleep!
I don’t mean human terrorists, of course. I mean microbes. I have written frequently and pointed out that the “Golden Age” of antibiotics is over. Sometimes I wonder—even myself—if raising the alarm is the right thing. People seem to want to stay asleep, while danger gathers on every side. It’s more comfortable. Well, is it […]

Ebola Outbreak: Manufacture and the Spread of Fear
A two-hander this week. First Ebola… Healthy well-fed victims of Ebola who died: zero. Undernourished, already-sick victims of Ebola who died: 2,461 to date. Serious fatality: the truth.

Another Pearl for the STUPID SCIENCE Column
From time to time a share I joke about some of the really STUPID science that’s going on out there. It’s amusing in a way; but I get very incensed at the waste of money, when some really good trials of holistic principles can’t get off the ground because there are no funds available. This […]
