New paradigm identifies gene responsible for acetaminophen-induced liver injury (FierceBiotech)

In this study, a team of researchers led by Dr. David Threadgill of North
Carolina State University utilized mouse genetics to aid the search for
candidate genes linked to acetaminophen-induced liver injury in humans. “We
approached the study from the perspective that drugs are used in very
heterogeneous patient populations, and that drug-induced toxicities are likely
the result of a person’s genetic makeup,” …

Critical Alert: The Swine Flu Pandemic – Fact or Fiction? (Dr. Mercola)

My guess is that you can expect to see a lot of panic over this issue in the
near future.  But the key is to remain calm — this isn’t the first time
the public has been warned about swine flu. The last time was in 1976, right
before I entered medical school and I remember it very clearly. It resulted in
the massive swine flu vaccine campaign.


Do you happen to recall the result of this massive campaign?


Within a few months, claims totaling $1.3 billion had been filed by victims …

THE MYSTERIOUS DEATHS OF MICROBIOLOGISTS, THE FLU BUG and YOU!

Well it seems as if the crazy conspiracy theorists were right again, because the

world-wide flu pandemic they were warning you about has been unleashed, and
it
will dominate the headlines until millions, if not billions of people are
dead.
It won’t be stopped because no one with the means to stop it wants to
stop it. …

Monsanto’s Roundup Residues in GM Food Cause Cell Damage (Mercola.com)

The researchers studied toxicity mechanisms of four different Roundup
formulations in human cells. The formulations were diluted at minimal doses (up
to 100,000 times or more), but they still caused cell death within a few hours.
The researchers also noted membrane and DNA damages, and found the formulations
inhibit cell respiration.

The fool on the hill: an essay sharply critical of the psychiatric industry (The Lancet)

Antipsychotics are, at times, cruel drugs. Some cause shaking, salivation,
restlessness, infertility, stiff ness, agitation, and frail bones; others cause
obesity, somnolence, and increase the risk of heart attack, diabetes, and
stroke. Antidepressants also have side-effects, although theirs are typically
less dramatic: sickness, sexual dysfunction, a feeling of being numbed, or
losing one’s personality, and acutely increased risk of suicide. …
