Would you use spray on nail polish? Episode 109
In this study, researchers looked at a variety of products to see how well they repelled mosquitos. Here’s what they found. DEET worked. It provided protection for 240 min or more. And it was dose dependent. More DEET, better protection. The Cutter product with oil of lemon eucalyptus which has a high concentration of p-methane-3-8-diol also worked. This would be a good alternative for people afraid of DEET. Other products like Avon Skin-so-soft bath oil and skin-so-soft with bug guard had practically no effect. Neither did the EcoSmart organic insect repellent which is made up of different oils like rosemary oil, lemong...

Terminal dehydration: A gentle way to die?
On a September night not long after his 83rd birthday, my father suffered a massive stroke.  It left him conscious yet unable to talk and communicate, unable to swallow, and almost completely paralyzed. After numerous scans and other tests, his doctors determined that there was no chance for recovery.  My father would never walk, talk, or swallow food again.  With nothing more to do for him in the hospital, we — my mother, my sister, and I — needed to decide what to do next.  The social worker on the case encouraged us to put Dad in a nursing home.  A gastric feeding tube could be put in, and he could be f...

State of the Armed Union
by Craig Klugman, Ph.D In the first 274 days of 2015, there were 294 mass shootings (yes, that is more than 1 per day). As a nation, there were over 39,000 gun incidents leading to 10,104 deaths and 20,544 injuries so far in 2015.

A blueprint to fertilize the garden called “bowel flora”
This is a repost from a blog from July 2014. Now that the Wheat Belly 10-Day Grain Detox is on sale for preorders, I’m glad to present this information again with the book as a blueprint for taking on the life-changing challenge of improving your bowel flora. I like to think of bowel flora, the thousand or so species of microorganisms that inhabit the human gastrointestinal tract, as a garden. Probiotics, i.e., anything that provides microorganisms believed to be among the desired inhabitants such as the various Lactobacillus or Bifidobacteria species, are like planting seeds for peppers and zucchini in your garde...

Caring for the dying patient is a rewarding challenge
I walked silently into the pristinely decorated room of the hospice facility and was greeted by her family.  She lay there, not particularly responsive to her surroundings under the pressure and influences of metastatic stomach cancer.  The warmness and smiles on the faces of her family told me that at some point and somehow, in the midst of actively witnessing the transition of their mother, aunt, sister, and grandmother, they found solace.  They found solace in knowing she was always there for them.  They understood their perception of the world and all that it encompasses principally because of what she taught them ...

The day I saw the humanity in medicine
At the heart of American medicine is the concept of bedside manner, and with it the concern that doctors are cold and unemotional. Indeed, doctors are exposed to disease and misfortune on a daily basis. A patient who presents with stage IV metastatic stomach cancer is just one of the many hundreds or thousands of such patients that will walk through the hospital doors in the coming years. Quotidian exposure to death and disease would likely make “illness” seem like the norm. As a medical student, I wondered if I would soon have to become desensitized to all the difficult things I would see every day, learn to control m...

Why I am a Crusader in the Anti-Vaccine, Anti-Drug Movement
Conclusion The doctors gave my daughter drugs they knew would cause her kidneys to stop working. They gave her these drugs in spite of both of us telling them on a day-to-day basis not to give them. The hospital covered it up. The hospital refused to give us the incident report. The hospital refused to give us a copy of the notes from the meeting with the ethics committee. The hospital denied my daughter’s right to make her own decisions. The hospital tried to deny me from being my daughter's advocate. The hospital administrator threatened to charge me with practicing medicine without a license. The CEO refused to talk t...

Health Affairs’ September Issue: Growing Burden Of Noncommunicable Diseases
The September issue of Health Affairs focuses on the growing burden of noncommunicable diseases. Increased wealth worldwide has reduced the frequency of some infectious diseases, while chronic diseases—heart disease, respiratory ailments, cancer, diabetes, mental illness, and others—are more widespread. The September issue was supported by Eli Lilly and Company. Tracking Global Mortality Over 30 Years: A Mix of Increases And Decreases Mohammed Ali at Emory University’s Rollins School of Public Health and coauthors examined data on deaths as a result of ischemic heart disease, stroke, diabetes, respiratory d...

Why are you here?
{walking into a patient's room}Me: "Hi Mr. Smith, I'm Dr. Gilman and will be taking care of you today in the ER. So, I reviewed your chart, and I don't see any significant past medical history. The nurses tell me you don't feel well. Tell me, what's the matter today?"Smith: "I'm sick"Me: "Okay, but what's wrong"Smith: "I don't f*ckin' know, you're the doctor."I hate, hate, it when a patient doesn't have a chief complaint when they come to the ER.Why are you here? Today? Right now? (i.e. why couldn't this wait until you could see your primary doctor). What changed? What are you afraid of? Specifically, what part of your bod...

Galacto-oligosaccharide: an extra special prebiotic?
In this study, a somewhat different form of GOS, a trans form, was used.) GOS, 4 grams twice per day (total 8 grams per day), given to adults over 50 substantially increased the numbers of bifidobacteria: Walton 2012. GOS, 2.5 grams three times per day (total 7.5 grams per day) partially mitigated the adverse effects of the antibiotic, amoxicillin, on bifidobacteria populations: Ladirat 2014. GOS 5 to 10 grams per day, but not 2.5 grams per day, increased bifidobacteria populations: Davis 2014. In an experimental mouse model of colitis, GOS dramatically reduced colon inflammation and increased bifidobacteria populations: G...

A Simple Slice of Bread. Staff of Life for You. Poison for Me.
Celiac Disease. Know of it? Even if you do, you may not know it’s a serious genetic autoimmune condition. Because it can cause over 100 symptoms, it often masquerades as other conditions. For that reason, and despite availability of simple blood test to detect it, the average time to diagnosis is ten years for women and six years for men. The consequences in the meantime can be significant: miscarriage, stillbirth, osteopenia, neurological conditions, gastrointestinal symptoms, headache, fatigue, failure to thrive and stunted growth in children and, over the long term, increased risk of esophageal, stomach and colon canc...
