| 09/29/2006 - Synthetic Hormone Therapy |
| Speaking of hormones and breast cancer, here's a disturbing (but not surprising - at least not to me) story that further proves what's been said by myself and others on the fringe of the medical mainstream for years... |
 |
| 09/29/2006 - High Steaks in the Cancer Crapshoot |
| In past Daily Doses, I've often extolled the upsides of organically reared beef, but perhaps have only touched on (instead of hammering in) many of the downsides of NOT seeking the most natural variety of this truly healthy health food. |
|
| 09/27/2006 - Grass and pastures vs. corn and hormones |
| You've heard me talk about beef before - how it's chock full of lifesaving protein, fats, vitamins, minerals, omega-3 and omega-6 acids, and on and on and on. |
|
| 09/25/2006 - Developments in the Big (pharma) Picture |
| In the last Daily Dose, I briefed you on the findings of 2500 "experts" at the International Congress on Obesity in Sydney, Australia. Those findings: That there's a worldwide pandemic of obesity... |
|
| 09/22/2006 - Weighty news |
| According to a recent Associated Press article, a conference of 2,500 of them convened in Sydney, Australia, earlier this month and concluded - get ready for a NEWS FLASH: There's a global epidemic of obesity! |
|
| 09/19/2006 - "Killer" winged friends terrorized by ignorant townies! |
| I recently wrote to you about a Washington town that's being overrun and terrorized by a group of roving raccoons. Pets have been killed, people bitten, and rabies shots administered, while attempts at control have been foiled. |
|
| 09/18/2006 - Of standards and double standards |
| In the last Daily Dose, I wrote to you about Washington state's sudden official witch hunt (they call it an "investigation") against a number of heretofore esteemed practitioners of alternative medicine. |
|
| 09/15/2006 - Killer masked bandits terrorize town |
| I was originally going to write about this in one of my "weird, wild, and wacky" compilations, but I realized that it's a worthy lead-in to a health-related topic worth talking about...
The raccoons are on the attack in Washington State! |
|
| 09/13/2006 - It's a mad, mad world |
| It's time for another update on the strange-o news that's not really tailor made for a regular Daily Dose, yet is just too juicy, bizarre, or revealing about our culture and society not to pass along. Enjoy, lament, or just shake your head... |

|
| 09/11/2006 - Update on the drug trial from hell |
| A couple of months ago (Daily Dose, April 14th), I wrote to you about a March drug trial gone horribly wrong in the UK. I promised you an update on the story if there were any new developments. |
|
| 09/08/2006 - The Soda-Pop Smack-Down, Part 2 |
| In the last Daily Dose, I talked to you about several simultaneous bans or restrictions on the sale of sodas in several Indian states after undisclosed pesticide levels more than 20 times the "acceptable" amounts were found in the drinks. |
|
| 09/05/2006 - The Soda-Pop Smack-Down |
| Soft drinks have been getting some hard treatment in the marketplace lately. First, the UK bans 26 varieties of them for their benzene content (Daily Dose, 4/21/06). |
|
| 09/04/2006 - Supplements under suspect scrutiny |
| According to some "experts" from the National Institutes of Health's Office of Medical Applications of Research and Office of Dietary Supplements (pretty official-sounding, isn't it?), we Americans take too many vitamins. |
|
| 09/01/2006 - Death by a thousand (budget) cuts |
| As you know, a staple feature of this column is surgical errors that kill or maim us. That's because it happens so often. |
