Angelina Jolie: I had double mastectomy because of high breast cancer risk
Tue May 14, 2013
- Tom, while it's true that having the BRCA1 and/or BRCA2 mutations do not guarantee the woman will get cancer, there is a substantial increase in the risk of getting breast cancer if one has these mutations (as pointed out). Also, retrospective and prospective studies have indicated that preventative …
Moms confess: Husband versus kids, who stresses them out more?
Sat May 11, 2013
- You know, I get so tired of these articles. Yes, there are men that are basically just older children. But, there are more than enough women that are that way also. Everyone, whether male or female, gets annoyed and stressed at times. Everyone does something that just pisses off another person. None …

Breast milk compound may prevent deadly preemie infection
Mon May 6, 2013
- Instead of saying that a compound in breast milk protects against NEC, le's just be honest: FORMULA CAUSES NECROTIZINGENTEROCOLITIS. This has been known for many years. And of course it is possible to never give formula to preemies -- yes, you need a milk bank, but that is quite possible. Just ask …

Sat May 4, 2013

Thu May 2, 2013
- That's not exactly how the hygiene hypothesis works, but very close. In a "normally" functioning immune system, IgE's are used to mark parasites for destruction by certain immune system cells.

Tue Apr 30, 2013
- In reply to: Nathan Berhe #45.7 Actually, no it's not obstructing his rights at all to tell him to stop. Freedom of speech applies to what the government can or cannot do to speech - not what individuals can or cannot do. I can tell someone to "crawl back into a hole" and stop talking all I wa …
Another HIV vaccine fails, US study halted
Thu Apr 25, 2013
- Eric0038: Good point :) I received 12 units of blood 9 1/2 years ago - without that I would've died. Blood transfusions, anymore, are pretty safe and necessary in many cases. As far as whether we should use medical technology to look for better treatments and a potential cure for HIV - absolutely we …
Muslims foil terror plot: Tips from Muslim community halt alleged train attack
Tue Apr 23, 2013
