Former RCP president calls for drug law review
17th August 2010
In 2004 the Labour government stopped the trialling of a cure for hard drugs that is humane, perfectly safe, detoxifies in 48-72 hours, has no side effects as it is based on natural growing plants (Vietnam the country of origin is only one of two nations in the world that has the most biodiverse plant
...
... life on the planet by far) and where there is no 'cold turkey'. Indeed the Labour Government snubbed the Vietnamese government that offered their hand of help. Now this curative treatment that has been developed jointly through leading scientists in Vietnam and Germany over the last 10 years on a scientific basis, is produced in high-tech laboratories in capsule form. Therefore instead of looking to decriminalise hard drugs and make them available to all, there is a curative treatment out there that our former government did not want to even test. A strange and funny old world that we live in really and where now we could have been seeing tens of thousands of UK drug addicts cured in Britain every year. But it has to be said that there is no greater foolishness than that of government or their so-called wise advisers in Whitehall. Indeed they go against even common sense itself.

New superbug in UK hospitals
16th August 2010
this just shows that we need to stop sitting on our hands and get more funding to the nurses, so we can invest in more hcai prevention measures, like the design bugs out products or this new kwickscreen I heard about from a friend at wolverhampton
Mental health training needed for police
5th August 2010
At last this vital issue has been recognised. Mental health is normally ignored in most cases, whereas due to drug abuse it has become quite commom, and the police should definitely be trained to handle such cases
Warning over Indian vegetables
3rd August 2010
I'm amazed at the naivety of Dr. Katoch's reaction about the safety of Oxytocin that 'there are no reports of its adverse effect on human beings..' The debate over this hormone's harmful effects on humans
has long been over...if it's bad to ingest it through bovine milk, then why won't it be so with fruits
...
... and vegetables? Duh...!!!
The director of ICMR should wake up and smell the
danger..then go do something about it - if cares about public health and doing his job right!
Cancer drugs available sooner
2nd August 2010
I should like to know how the government will fund all drugs on £50 million or even £200 million per year?
Last year 6000 people were trying to get Avastin for bowel cancer. If they were to be offered the drug it would wipe out the drugs fund at a stroke, and that is one drug
...
... and one cancer.
Fungus kills 15 in the US
28th July 2010
no...fungus kills millions, but the death certificates do not indicate that. WHO physicians have published that cardiac events and even cancer often have a fungal etiology, yet physicians are not educated in Mycology, so they have no idea. Everything that leads to good health (eg...supplements, fresh diets, etc...) is anti-fungal! We need
...
... to rethink diagnoses.
Scots drink a quarter more alcohol
26th July 2010
It is useful to remember that the RDAs were not based upon, and are not backed up by, any scientific evidence - such statements made by Dr Gruer linked or associated with RDAs, are without value or meaning.
Guidance on GP referrals to be published
22nd July 2010
It does sound positive. However, if we are already experiencing GP's incompetence at diagnosing some medical conditions, simply because some believe that they know everything and seriously would do anything to stop a patient from seeing a specialist, it could be that those changes make the situation even worse in many cases. It is interesting
...
... to know if NICE are considering to put any guidelines regarding when a GP should pro-actively arrange a referral and not be so concerned about the budget, targets and etc.
Over-50s HIV rates rising
21st July 2010
This is a non story designed I suppose to support the AIDS industry.. As the Americans say do the math. In 2008 7328 new HIV infections out of a population of what 55 million, of which 8% are diagnoses of people aged over 50. Absolute number about 590. How many people aged over 50
...
... are there and how often do they have sex? Absolute risk of contracting HIV per sexual encounter in UK is near zero. Absolute risk for anyone aged over 50 even less.
