The approval of first-of-a-kind drugs rose last year to forty-one, resulting in the highest level of newly approved U.S. drugs in nineteen years.

MSSP Year Two: Medicare ACOs Show Muted Success
On August 25, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced Performance Year Two (PY2) results for the Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP) Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs). (CMS also announced results for the Pioneer ACO demonstration, but this discussion is limited to the MSSP ACOs.) In sum (Note 1), among the 333 participating PY2 ACOs, 86, or 26 percent, earned shared savings payments, meaning their claims costs for 2014 were below their financial benchmarks by an amount exceeding their minimum savings rates (MSR) (Note 2), and they reported complete quality information. Eighty-four Track 1 AC...

Health Information Technology: A Guide to Study Design For the Perplexed
This study, which was widely reported in the news media and influenced policy, found significant differences in the rate of flu-related deaths and hospitalizations among the vaccinated elderly compared with their unvaccinated peers. Although it controlled for certain easy-to-measure differences between the 2 groups, such as age, sex, and diabetes, it did not account for other more difficult-to-measure “healthy user” factors that affect the well-being of the elderly, such as their socioeconomic status, diet, exercise, and adherence to medical treatments and advice. The cohort design has long been a staple in studies of...

Profit over Safety – Centers for Disease Control Names 271 New Vaccinations
Conclusion How many vaccinations will be considered to be a sensible number? If all of the vaccinations currently under development are deemed a success, how many of them will be added to the schedule? As there is little research to determine which ingredients are in the vaccinations listed as “under development” by the CDC, many parents are concerned about their toxicity and how best to protect their children. I will leave you with the wise words of Robert F, Kennedy Jr: “Vaccine industry money has neutralized virtually all of the checks and balances that once stood between a rapacious pharmaceutical industry and ou...

The Failing Immune System and Its Role in Pulmonary Disease
In the paper quoted below, researchers review the links between immune system dysfunction in aging and pulmonary diseases - diseases of the lungs, ranging from infections to fibrosis. This is just one of many classes of medical condition that are much more serious and frequent in the elderly. We all know that the immune system fails in its duties with aging. The elderly are frail in large part because they have little resistance to infection, their healing is impaired, and other functions depending on components of the immune system are similarly diminished. This is partially the result of high levels of various forms of ...

Your viral past
Did you ever wonder what different virus infections you have had in your lifetime? Now you can find out with just a drop of your blood and about $25. Immune defense systems of many hosts produce antibodies in response to virus infections. These large proteins, which are generally virus specific, can block or inhibit virus infection, and persist at low levels for many years after the initial infection. Hence it is possible to determine whether an individual has had a virus infection by looking for anti-viral antibodies in the blood. Up to now the process of identifying such antibodies has been slow and limited to one or a...

This is Why You Should Not Blindly Follow Your Doctor’s Advice to Vaccinate
Conclusion Most of us have been trained to believe that vaccines are safe and prevent disease. It is very confusing to first realize that this may not be true. Tremendous pressures exist from physicians, hospitals, family and the public school systems to vaccinate ourselves and our children. Physicians are taught to recommend vaccinations as a first-line defense against disease, while they are not taught the serious health damages created by vaccines. Physicians often blindly follow the recommendations of their professional organizations to vaccinate, without doing any independent research. Those few physicians and nurses ...

10 Reasons Not To Vaccinate
Conclusion You are on your own to try and regain your health in the event that you are vaccine injured. The expense and suffering is yours alone to face. Very few individuals will be awarded money from funds set up by the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act. The system is designed for individuals to fail in making their claim of vaccine injury. The public pays for this injury fund in the cost of taxes on vaccinations.

Vaccine-Injured Child Kidnapped from Family by Child Protective Services
Vaccine injury and medical kidnapping stories are becoming commonplace. They are often connected. One mother never thought for a second that vaccinating her child would tear her family apart. Rebekah McClain wants parents to learn what her family is almost unbelievably dealing with because they chose to vaccinate. No child deserves to suffer through this pain. This is her true story.   One Family’s Heartbreak “I have a son named Kacer Lee Harris. He was born on December 25, 2013. He is my Christmas miracle.

Impact of Lifelong Cytomegalovirus Infection on Aging
I don't normally point out funding press materials, preferring to focus on the other end of the research process, but this one, drawn to my attention by the Healthspan Campaign newsletter, contains a good overview of the current state of knowledge regarding the persistent herpesvirus called cytomegalovirus (CMV) and its role in immune aging. CMV is actually just about as innocuous and prevalent as herpesviruses get: most people are infected by the time they reach old age, and near all of them suffered no obvious and immediate consequences of that infection. Given the readership demographics here, I'd give even odds that yo...
