That’s a scientifically derived conclusion that’s been viciously kept from health consumers probably due to not wanting to have to scrape egg off the universal face of Big Pharma vaccine manufacturers, the medical professions, and government health agencies. Or, is there a more sinister reason? You be the judge after considering Dr. F. Edward Yazbak’s exceptional review of the literature regarding Thimerosal and vaccines at (http://www.vaccinationnews.com/20110405Thimerosal…) There are three parts to this incomparable report regarding Thimerosal that every healthcare professional, federal, state, and local health agencies personnel should read to get the down and dirty facts about what’s been going on under their... vactruth.com blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=4684325 Thu, 07 Apr 2011 06:01:07 +0100 4684325 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3802383&cid=t_150774_87_f&fid=39187&url=http%3A%2F%2Fgetbetterhealth.com%2Fcan-vocal-analysis-help-detect-autism-early%2F2010.07.29 Identifying autistic kids as early as possible is very important so that appropriate clinical interventions and upbringing can have the most beneficial effect. Now a new study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences has shown that analyzing the unique signature of children’s pre-speech vocalizations can be a pretty good way to identify potential cases of autism.

Often for these little changes, a physical exam and face-to-face time have nothing to do with good medical decision making. Yet the patient and doctor are locked in a legacy-industrialized business model that requires the patient to pay a co-pay and waste at least half of their day driving to and from the office, logging time in a waiting room, and then visiting five minutes with their practitioner for the needed medical information or advice. Today I’d like to visit the case of a patient I’ll call “DD,” who I easily diagnosed with temporal arteritis (TA) through a 15-minute phone call after she’d spent four weeks as the healthcare system fumbled her time wit...

Being spanked as a child is linked to having a lower IQ, according to a study presented today at the International Conference on Violence, Abuse and Trauma in San Diego. The relationship between spanking and intelligence is found in children around the world, said the lead author of the study, University of New Hampshire professor Murray Straus. Children in the United States who were spanked had lower IQs -- by 2.8 to 5 points -- than those who were not spanked, Straus found. Straus studied 806 children ages 2 to 4 and 704 ages 5 to 9. Both groups were retested four years later. How often parents spanked influenced IQ score. "The more spanking, the slower the development of the child's mental ability," Straus said in a news relea...

Whilst the speech delays are still with us nevertheless they grow and change daily. We arrive at the weekend after completing the first successful week, hopefully the first of many. It is whilst I am cooking lunch that my son accosts me in the kitchen.“Wot?”“What what dear?”“Wot is it being?”“What am I cooking? Um.....a fragrant concoction.”"Wot it is being?""Concoction?""No.""Fragrant?""Yes.""Fragrant is another word for smell."“What you be fragranting?”“The smell or fragrance? That’s probably the Oregano, it’s a herb. Isn’t it lovely?”“Wot?”“Hmm?”“Wot is it being?”“The other smells? Take a peek in the pan and a sniff. It’s either bacon, garlic or possibly the beans you ...

These include breathing difficulties, problems regulating body temperature and jaundice.Those problems usually require newborns to remain hospitalized for several days. The new study involved only late term babies born early, sent home within three days of birth, who wer...

My partners and I operate a large psychiatric practice on the outskirts of a mid-sized Northeastern city.  Our patient population comprises a representative spectrum of the local community, from early adolescents on up.  Within our specialty, we are the face of American healthcare.  Among the many machinations concocted by the managed care entities through the years, we suspect that a new one has recently been given birth.  It might well be dubbed “managed delays.”  In the good old days of insurance company SOP, especially among the for-p...

The trick, is to know what that combination might be?Many parents curl themselves into a question mark, hook their fingers through their babies’ and guide their first tentative steps. Some parents remain in this unnatural position for more years than is commonplace. These parents deserve a special label, neurotic or over protective come to mind.

Yikes! Have you been impacted too?Here at the MITA International Brain Based Center … we’ve scheduled far fewer international trips for 2008 … and have worked to rev up business closer to home.  As it turned out, that shift may be a good move for the brain business ... in the long run. Still, each time I drag bags through the mazes at New York airports … I want to ask 5 key questions to airline and airport leaders ... who consistently delay my flights: 1. Have you considered how improved client satisfaction could raise your profits?2. Do you place yourself in the shoes of passengers whose business depends on timely flights?3.

Epidemiologist William V. Thompson, PhD, of the CDC’s National Center for Immunizations and Respiratory Diseases and others, conclude that: Our study does not support a causal association between early exposure to mercury from thimerasol-containing vaccines and immune globulis and deficits in neuropsycological functioning at the age of 7 to 10 years. 1047 children between the ages of 7 and 10 were administed standardized tests assessing 42 neuropsychological outcomes (autism spectrum disorders were not assessed). The children were from four HMOs that participate in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention&...
