Nils Reinton posted a link on FriendFeed of a company (?!?) in Singapore using a logo that looks very similar to Ricardo Vidal’s logo for the DNA Network. The original is here and the crooks are here. Compare.

"Hey wait a second....I got the flu shot this year". Yes, it is true. For the first time EVER in my adult life I had received the flu vaccine. It's funny, becuase if you think about it, Flu Vaccine IS personalized medicine/Genomic Healthcare.You may be saying, HUH? But it is the truth. The flu vaccine is a combination of two genes...well the protein products of those genes. Yes, much like humans there are several different types of the "flu" Influenza virus. They are classified according to these genes Hemagluttinin and Neuraminidase. Hemagglutinin also called H and then subtyped by number, is useful for the little influenza to stick to the cells it wishes to invade.Neuraminidase also called N and then subtyped by number ...

The CDC funded three states to study awareness of DTC testing as well as utilization of DTC testing. They also performed a national study. The presentation reviewed this data and of note there were some intersting findingsOnly 0.6% of the national population has used DTC tests (BTW that's 1.8 milllion people)14% of the US population is aware of DTC testing73% of those who were aware, heard through the mediaYet over 60% who used the tests were directed by DOCTORS!!!!!!In addition a survey was administered to physicians. This DocStyles study had 555 physicians who were aware of DTC testing. Of ThoseOnly 4% of MDs report >10% of their patients asking for DTC testingAnd an amazing 93% of physici...

Things have gotten crazy recently. I started with the launch of my personalized medicine practice. We are busy dotting the i's and crossing the t's. We have a truly "flat" organization and are able to grow at a moment's notice. This is great news for the patients! Several things are happening in this week and I want to share all of them with you.My wife, daughter and myself were involved in a car crash. I want to remind everyone to please wear your seat belts. If you have children please make sure they are in the appropriate car seat for their age. These simple things allowed us to walk away unharmed. Sometimes it is all about the prevention.At Brown University there is a conference being held, Frontiers of Medicine. My team from Helix Heal...
