Writer’s Inappropriate Jab At Steve Jobs’ Alternative Medicine Use

The headline that attracted my attention on Yahoo News was “Did Alternative Medicine Kill Steve Jobs? Well with that type of title you expect some sort of adverse reaction from an alternative treatment or a direct action resulting in Steve Jobs death. The article contains none of that. The article, seemingly aggregated from LiveScience.com which seems to have gotten it from their sister site MyHealthNewsDaily.com and written by a Rachael Rettner, repeatedly questions the use of alternative medicine and Jobs’ use of the approach.

Japanese Government To Spread Radioactive Rubble From Fukushima All Over Japan

  As if the Japanese people haven’t had it bad enough the Japanese government now wants to spread the radiated rubble from the Fukushima area around the country.

Tea Partier’s Applaud Letting The Uninsured Die

Ron Paul was asked a hypothetical question by CNN’s Wolf Blitzer during the Tea Party debates regarding whether or not a 30-year-old man who had a terrible accident should be left to die if he had no medical insurance.

Honey Treats Coughs Better Than Drugs

A new study published in the Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine shows what your grandparents or great grandparents already knew, that honey helps to soothe coughs and does it better than drugs. The use of honey as medicine goes further back than the ancient Egyptians who used honey for all sorts of purposes. Aside from its nutritive and cough benefits it tastes much better too. Now we just have to stop knowingly killing the bees with pesticides so that they can be there for us. People have become more concerned with the effects of toxic chemical drug combinations that...
