Dr. Andrew Wakefield’s Interview on His MMR Study
About 6 months ago, I wrote a post about Dr. Wakefield's research on the MMR vaccine. I highly recommend watching this video discussion between Dr. Wakefield and Dr. Mercola about his research. It's very interesting.

Travel Tips
I don't know about you but with the cold upon us I have the itch to travel. I found an article on good travel tips with many good points I wasn't aware of. For example:
You can check out kayak.com to quickly scan online airfares for the lowest prices. Now if I could only figure out a way to get my family somewhere warm:)
Happy travels,

Medical Cover-up
I am really upset at the insistence by the CDC, medical doctors and the media that all pregnant women should be vaccinated by this experimental vaccine. The media repeats the manufacturers’ mantra that this vaccine is produced exactly like the seasonal flu, when in fact it is not. Yes, they use chicken eggs, but the rest has been fast tracked and many shortcuts on safety procedures have been allowed.
Dr. Russell Blaylock
Swine Flu--One of the Most Massive Cover-ups in American History
I constantly find myself reading or hearing information that is speculative and written without neither real educated knowledge on a particular subject or has any scholarly peer reviews of the result findings. It is annoying... to say the least. And so I try to only post important information that I feel is worth reading and that can be viewed as the best sources out there on the subject. This article posted by Dr. Mercola was very well done in that respect. Dr. Russell Blaylock uses only the sources held in the highest regard in the scientific community. If I were to ever recommend you read any of my many articles on the H1N1 virus, this would be the one. It's a long read but very well worth it.

Flouride or no flouride? That is the question of the day...
I came across an article by Dr. Mercola the other day speaking about the dangers of flouride and dental health. This is a controversy that I wish I knew the answer to. I have been unfortunate in my life to have multiple dental issues so my dentist pushes the flouride which I so routinely use. But is flouride really helping my dental health or could it cause more serious issues down the road?
As my son began popping his teeth one after the other, I couldn't help but worry that he..god forbid...would inherit my dental genes. I began brushing those little guys every night and now at 16 months, twice per day. And since I have always religiously taken good care of my teeth and still continue to have problems, does this mean Park's teeth are still doomed to destruct? When do I begin a flouride paste? DO I give him flouride at all?

6 Diseases Back from the Past
As noted in today's article by Dr. Mercola 6 Diseases Back from the Past, contrary to popular belief...the world has NOT eradicated age old diseases such as Polio and Bubonic Plague. See the article below:
6 Diseases Back From the Past
Posted by: Dr. Mercola
September 10 2009
Many think of bubonic plague, leprosy and polio as diseases of the past -- things that might have had a part in history, but aren't around any longer. But these diseases are still very much with us.
Pneumonic/Bubonic Plague
The pneumonic and bubonic plagues are caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis, the difference being that pneumonic plague can spread from person to person -- without infected fleas.
The pneumonic form struck China earlier this year, and bubonic plague still persists in the United States, in the Southwest. Wild rats and fleas carry the disease, and when in proximity to humans, fleas will spread it to them rather than simply among rats.
Polio
Polio is still a problem in many countries. It can cause paralysis, in the legs and even the lungs.
But more often it has only subtle signs, so it is difficult to determine who has the virus, making it tricky to eradicate. Complicating matters is that symptoms of polio can often mimic those of other viruses.
Chagas Disease
The disease is spread by the bug known as the kissing bug and the assassin bug. It bites its human victim, defecating and causing an itch, which becomes Chagas disease when the victim scratches the area, allowing the infection to enter the body.
About 8 to 9 million people in Latin America are infected, and 400,000 people in the United States have the disease. The infection attacks the heart, but over the course of many years. Five percent of people will develop symptoms early on, such as liver or spleen enlargement. But the other 95 percent will show no signs for 20 or 30 years.
Leprosy
Leprosy is among the oldest of human diseases. The disease attacks skin and ultimately nerve cells. It is caused by a bacterium similar to the one responsible for tuberculosis.
The most common cause within the United States is exposure to armadillos, whether through eating them, having a farm of them or hunting them.
Hookworm
Hookworm still plagues many living in rural poverty throughout the world. The hookworm parasite, which lives in soil, causes severe anemia in its victim and the infection can prove difficult to get rid of.
Tuberculosis
Tuberculosis is still around, even if it isn't as deadly as it once was. But TB still poses a major problem for doctors. It's an insidious, slow-onset disease. Ultimately, patients can develop a persistent fever and lose energy and weight. Patients may not know they have the disease, and they can spread it to other people during that time.
Tuberculosis has become more of a threat than it once was with the development of forms that are resistant to the drugs typically used to treat the disease. Because of this, tuberculosis is still fatal to 40 to 50 percent of people who catch it.
