One change that HAS become apparent over the past year is the increased availability of heroin, now easily found in small towns throughout the upper Midwest.  I’ve seen the same trend closer to my practice, where heroin use has grown from a Milwaukee phenomenon to just another high school temptation.  And a troubling comment pops up more and more during my...

The numerous problems are so bad - there were violations concerning field reports, unapproved new drugs and adverse event reporting - that the FDA issued an import alert, which means products made at the main Claris facility in India are not allowed in the US (you can read more about Claris here). In one instance cited, the FDA berated Claris for its chutzpah. One customer, Sagent Pharmaceuticals, complained that IV bags had fungus, although there were no lea...

The measuring of the blood flow can determine where stents need to be implanted. Studies have shown that this new method is more effective than X-Ray examinations. If you are considering having this procedure, your health care provider should be made aware of any problems.  Let them know if you have an allergy to shellfish or intravenous dye, have diabetes or kidney disease.

Such were the results reported by the NIH study at the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS): The NIH researchers, however, tested the idea that ascorbate, when injected at high doses, may have prooxidant instead of antioxidant activity. Prooxidants would generate free radicals and the formation of hydrogen peroxide, which, the scientists hypothesized, might kill tumor cells. In their laboratory experiments on 43 cancer and 5 normal cell lines, the researchers discovered that high concentrations of ascorbate had anticancer effects in 75 percent of cancer cell lines tested, while spar...

The case involved a wheelchair-bound 57-year-old man with serious diabetic neuropathy. The patient had type 2 diabetes for 10 years, and experienced pain and progressive loss of muscle and strength in both legs. He also lost a lot of weight. Researchers at Nagoya University School of Medicine treated this gentleman with intravenous immune globulin (IVIg) for 5 days. The patient initially realized marked improvements in pain and muscle weakness, but the pain crept up again over the following three weeks. A repeat course of IVIg infusions reduced the pain once again. For a man who could not previously stan...
