Surely you began your day sipping on shade-grown coffee brewed with rainwater through recycled coffee filters - and you aren’t using a disposable cup, right? Dump those used coffee grounds in your garden! And please excuse me while I hug a tree. Wait a minute. You don’t have to go overboard to celebrate Earth Day 2009. In fact, your dental office could do a few simple things that will reduce your carbon Sketcher print and make you an eco-friendly business. Some dentists are “going green” and taking advantage of marketing their practices as eco-frienldy. (See websites and articles below.) Earlier this year, DentalBlogs posted about Generation G - remember? With the current turn in our economy, it’s wis... dental blog for dentists about dentistry blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2357978 Wed, 22 Apr 2009 13:30:04 +0100 2357978 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=1439524&cid=t_167743_109_f&fid=34750&url=http%3A%2F%2Fpsychcentral.com%2Fblog%2Farchives%2F2008%2F05%2F13%2Fadhd-and-consumer-reports%2F Attention deficit disorder is a classic example of the medicalization of mental disorders, where virtually everyone “believes” it is some sort of biochemical or brain disorder and so medications are the appropriate (and wildly popular) treatment choice. Medications are the right and appropriate treatment choice for ADHD; not because it is a medical disease, but because the research base is pretty strong in showing that they are effective. But if you can’t trust Consumer Reports to report accurately on this disorder (and other mental disorders), I’m not sure who you can trust anymore. A colleague recently referred me to the “Best Buy Drugs” section of Consumer Reports health website. So I took a look around and started at the beginning of the alphabet. S...

When you share and disclose aspects of your personal health with the world, it is something very different than when you share and disclose your favorite books or hobbies or musical groups. They are not the same thing. Books, music and your favorite movie star can’t be used against you (well, at least not until Big Brother takes hold). But your personal health information can. Think we’re overstating things? Well, the New Jersey Law Journal published a story yesterday that might make you think again: Litigation over an insurer’s refusal to pay health benefits for anorexia or bulimia may turn on what is reveal...

Riddle solved for this drug- nothing. Dia-B Tech Limited, a Melbourne-based biotech, released results from a medical trial for a new treatment for type 2 diabetes that show it is safe for use in humans without diabetes. The drug makes a patient's own insulin work better. The insulin sensitizing factor known as compound ISF402 attaches itself to insulin and helps break it down to a more useable form This is a great concept - and one that is fashioned fully in a bitter melon. However, let's give the Aussie biotech the spotlight. Bitter melon is not for the faint of heart - it has teeth! The study included 24 healthy male volunteers given the treatment an...
