I went to my doctor at 7:15 pm last night. Yes, that’s right I had a night time doctor’s appointment. My neurologist is so busy he takes appointments 6 days a week and during the week days they end at around 9 pm. Is that not crazy? Usually I will wait 3-5 hours to see […]
Sick of Sickness
Published in October 11th, 2009
Okay, I am about sick of everyone being sick. I have somehow avoided getting it thus far and hope I can continue to avoid it, but it drags on forever and everyone has it. The schools should just shut down for a week and start over. Every kid I see is hacking and coughing with […]
Swine Flu…for real
Published in October 9th, 2009
My son went to the doctor and he official has the Swine Flu! Great, huh. It has been a long week. At first I thought it was just the flu, so I wasn’t going to run to the doctor with him. Each day he seemed fine and then at night his fever word come out. […]
Kids Taking Cholesterol Drugs
Published in February 16th, 2009
A new study published in the journal Circulation showed about 200k teens and preteens need medication to lower their cholesterol. This is scary. The buildup of plaque in the arteries starts in childhood, so this tells you people aren’t just suddenly getting high cholesterol as adults. The diet we feed our children growing up has […]
FDA targets what???
Published in February 10th, 2009
The FDA has decided to go after weight loss pills that hide serious hazards. I am curious how these weight loss pills ever made it past the FDA in the beginning. They are called StarCaps and the drug it contains is bumetanide. Bumetanide is a diuretic that treats heart failure and it […]

There is a warning on it: ”This product contains chemicals, including lead and lead compounds, known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.”
There is also another warning: Combustion of by-products produced when using this product contain chemicals known by the […]
The Fat Man Walking…Did the Fat Man Walking Disappear?
Published in December 11th, 2008
I had been following the story of The Fat Man Walking until he stopped writing on his site. Then I read that they made a documentary on him. I kept waiting to hear more, but nothing. I wonder what happened to him and if he found happiness. I did find an interview of him at […]
Fighting Sickness
Published in November 12th, 2008
I guess it is that time of year again. My family is sick and I am the only one who hasn’t been ill yet, but I do feel a tickle in my throat, so it may not be too far behind. I am praying I will avoid it. It is amazing I have made it […]
When Medicines Make You Sick
Published in October 28th, 2008
We live in a drug happy society. Doesn’t matter what your ailment, doctors smile while they hand you over yet another prescription. I read an article yesterday that linked a diabetes medication, Metformin, with heart disease. So you go in for help with diabetes and walk away heart disease. Isn’t that great? So you have to […]
Aloha
Published in October 18th, 2008
I am in Maui. It is beautiful and as amazing as you would expect. The weather is perfect, unless you want to exercise outside. The cardio room they have at the hotel is actually outdoors. I did the Gauntlet last night around 8 pm and it was so hot I was melting before I even […]
