With Demand for Mental-Health Care Soaring on Campus, Faculty and Students Are Stepping Up to Help
After the pandemic shut down Duke University’s campus in 2020, public-policy professor Nick Carnes worried about how his students would fare both educationally and emotionally. Wanting to help in whatever way he could, he added a simple message to his email signature.
“A note to students,” he wrote. “Please let me or another Duke professor know if you’re having any problems with your safety, well-being, or access to educational or other resources, or if you need to talk about anything right now, and/or if you know of another student who is having trouble. When in doubt, please reach out.&rd...

60% Of Sun Screens Would Fail Federal Safety Tests!
Here in South Florida, spring break is in full swing.
Temperatures are in the mid-to-high-80s, and tourists are flocking to our beautiful, sunny beaches.
Of course, that also means it’s prime time for sunscreen companies to kick up their marketing efforts in an attempt to whip up more fear over the sun.
They want to scare you into thinking that each time the sun strikes your unprotected skin, you risk malignant melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer.
If you’re a regular reader, you know that I’ve been vocal about Big Retail’s money grab and how they put out misinformation because they profit each time you slat...

Antibiotics Destroy Memories?
Even in my earliest days of practicing medicine, I was never a big fan of prescribing antibiotics – except, of course, in cases of extreme or life-threatening infections.
Because even back then, I was concerned about the damage these drugs could cause to your gut.
That’s because trillions of microscopic bacteria – some that protect against certain diseases and some that can cause disease – live in your microbiome and exist in a delicate balance with each other.
The problem is that antibiotics can’t distinguish between so-called “good” bacteria and the “bad” ones causing the infection.
These drugs kill eve...

Share your solidarity with Wirral clinical support workers on strike
Healthcare support workers in UNISON are fighting for the respect, recognition and reward they deserve – and they’re prepared to take strike action to get what they’re rightfully owed.
Over 400 clinical support workers at Wirral University Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust (WUTH) will take 48 hours of strike action from 7am on Thursday 31 August.
They’re joining together to get their employer to pay them appropriately for the Band 3 clinical work they routinely do, and to put right the years they’ve been underpaid by awarding backpay to 1 April 2018 as an absolute minimum.
This is a key moment ...

Can ’ t Lose Weight? It ’ s Not Your Fault!
Did you make any resolutions last month? We all have such good intentions when the calendar flips into the new year.
But I wasn’t surprised to read that by the end of January, nearly 80% of people have abandoned their goals…especially when it comes to weight loss.
Of course, the multi-million diet and fitness industry is still pumped up to separate you from your money. The first few months of a new year are their golden opportunity to sell you a gym membership or weight loss drug.
But if you only listen to their outdated advice, you may already be doomed to failure.
You see if you aren’t hitting your weight loss...

Can ’ t You Just Do a Hydrogen Breath Test?
Discussion
Lactose is a sugar that is commonly found in dairy products. It is digested by the enzyme lactase mainly found on the brush border of the small bowel. Lactase production varies by age and genetics, with infants and young children having a generally higher amount than older children and adults, presumably as they have a more dairy-based diet. There is decreased production starting around 2-3 years of age (i.e. lactase non-persistence). Some people continue to produce lactase at the same levels as infants (i.e. lactase-persistence. “Lactase persistence (lactose tolerance) is seen predominantly in individuals...
