In this post, I’ll talk about some of the depression programs available online. The Australian National University’s Centre for Mental Health Research is one of the unsung heroes in the development and research of programs to treat depression online, for both adults and teens. What they have done over the past decade is not exactly rocket science, and yet, surprisingly, most people have never heard of one of their free online programs. They’ve taken cognitive behavioral theories and techniques and translated them into online tutorials and programs. Then they did something a lot of organizations (and virtually all companies) fail to do ...

Despite the fact that a whole series of short term dietary studies have established the superiority of low carb dieting for people with diabetes, every single review of their data concludes "caution is required as we still do not know the long term effects of this diet" and then goes on to suggest they are probably bad. This study would answer that. Both these studies would cost a lot of money because they would require large populations to be followed for many years. But "a lot of money" when you are discussing medical studies is something like $30M over ten years, which is lunch money for Microsoft Bill. For now, this is our only hope of seeing ANY research that doesn't "prove" that oral drug A makes a tiny but not clinically significant (as opposed ...
