Acetaminophen may Reduce Fear and Anxiety. Really?

I really do not have the words to describe just how bad this study is and the potential harm it may cause, due to over use of Acetaminophen.  Article Here

Please consider this medical fact:  Acetaminophen is the number one cause of liver failure in America. See Study Here

Enough said.  Dr. Press

The Un-'Affordable Care Act'. Surprised?

 The Affordable Care Act (ACA) is probable to be a financial disaster for our country's tax payers, besides increasing the national debt and unemployment rates. And will it better the quality of health care and accessibility? Will it help more then hurt Americans? Early indicators say the ACA will be painful.

   

As the article says, not one republican voted for it and many in the GOP warned of the coming problems of the ACA.  The problems are real and may even get worse.  

To be open, I will disclose that I did not vote for or support the current political Administration.    

Should not the credit for the success or failure of the ACA, rest with the creators and supporters.  

To falsely blame the other party of sabotaging the ACA only indicates a failure of leadership and responsibility.

This conversation is not over and needs to be based on the facts.

Cure for Back Pain with just One Injection! Really?

How many times have we heard this?  Unfortunately, it gives false hope to the millions who do suffer from chronic back pain in the United Kingdom and elsewhere.  I noted there was no mention of chiropractic care in the article.  Enough said. 

I will follow this 'Miracle' injection claim and see where it goes.  As with so many claims of curing chronic back pain, we will have to wait to find out the side-effects, complications and failure rates.

FLU SHOTS - HELP OR HURT?

If you go to Flu.gov we are told this: 

"Seasonal flu vaccines have a very good safety track record. Although there are possible side-effects to vaccination, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration closely monitor the safety of seasonal flu vaccines".

This medical physician has a different opinion:  Article Here

Recently, a wide spread medical tragedy occurred in this country with flu shots:     Article Here

Here is another side of the increasing push to have every one get a flu shot, based on inaccurate or partial facts:  Article Here  

Facts from the Center for Disease Control stated from the Weekly Morbidity and Mortality Report (the MMWR) had revised its annual 36,000 deaths by flu down to a range of 3,000 to 49,000 flu-associated deaths.  The following are additional quotes from website: http://www.ageofautism.com

"So what is the U.S. actual count  of "flu-associated" deaths for the 2011 seasonal flu season now over?

Quoting the MMWR of May 14, 2011 (the last Flu report of the season):  "This season, 105 laboratory-confirmed influenza-associated pediatric deaths have been reported to CDC."  And further when adults are also included: "From October 3, 2010 – May 21, 2011, 16,410 laboratory-confirmed influenza-associated hospitalizations and 311 laboratory-confirmed influenza-associated deaths were reported to CDC."  Subtracting 105 from 311 we see a documented count of 206 adult flu-associated deaths.  It will be interesting to see what CDC's computer-model finally conjures up as the final 2010-2011 "flu-associated" death tally".  The full report is Here.

So what is the right thing to do, regarding whether or not to get a flu shot?  First get the facts, do your own research and decide for yourself and your family.  And yes, you should talk about it with your family physician.

A question we did not discuss was the effectiveness of the flu shots to actually protect you from the flu.  That is for another blog and another day.  Dr. Press
