Sara Gottfried refuses to accept the traditional medical thinking that
feeling cranky, asexual, tapped out, and sleep-deprived is just part of
being female and aging, and that prescription medication will fix all
problems. In The Hormone Cure, she combines natural therapies with
rigorous scientific testing to help women feel fully alive, especially
in the years prior to menopause. Using an informative questionnaire to
identify common symptoms of hormonal imbalance such as insomnia, low
sex drive, lack of energy, moodiness, hot flashes, and more; detailing
causes; and offering solutions in non-judgmental and thoughtful
language, Dr. Gottfried provides a novel plan based on solid scientific
research. She believes you don't find a cure at the bottom of a pill
bottle.
With the ultimate goal of preventing half a million teens from abusing medicine within five years, The Partnership at Drugfree.org will launch The Medicine Abuse Project during the week of September 23-29, 2012. The launch week will kick start a multi-year effort to help educate parents, teens and the public about the dangers of medicine abuse and unite parents, educators, health care providers, coaches, government officials, law enforcement officers and other partners to help save lives.

Apparently some cats and dogs respond badly to this medication, but it works wonderfully for my cat. She
weighs just 10 pounds, so I give her half a tablet (I cut them apart in
a regular pill cutter) and any fleas she's picked up fall off and die.
My vet explained to me that the chemical in Capstar isn't recognized by
the animal's body - it just passes through without being absorbed and
broken down. It comes out as a gas through the pores of the skin, and
acts on the fleas like cyanide gas acts on people. It's instantly
lethal to the fleas. Unfortunately, when the fleas get the first whiff
of gas, they respond by biting REALLY HARD in a reflexive reaction.
Some cats and dogs who have several fleas may experience sudden very
hard bites in many areas of their bodies, which could account for the
jumping around and panting. It doesn't feel very good. Flea bites are
terrible under normal circumstances, and their
A pill designed to zero in on abnormal genes that drive specific cancers has produced encouraging early results in children with an uncommon but aggressive type of lymphoma, as well as in children with a rare form of neuroblastoma.
A phase 1 clinical trial of the drug crizotinib achieved remissions, with minimal side effects, for 10 of the children participating in a clinical study carried out by the multicenter Children’s Oncology Group (COG). The results were “an exciting proof-of-principle” for the targeted treatment, said the study leader, Yaël P. Mossé, M.D., a pediatric oncologist at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.
“We are entering a new era of cancer therapy, in which we use knowledge of basic biology to design very specific drugs that target cancer cells with potentially less side effects on healthy tissue,” said Mossé. “In addition, as we concentrate on targets in molecular pathways, we move away from an exclusive focus on one form of cancer to customizing treatments according to biological activity. Abnormal ALK activity occurs in subtypes of neuroblastoma and subtypes of lymphoma, so identifying ALK activity in individual patients may enable us to provide the most effective care.”

Sanofi (EURONEXT: SAN and NYSE: SNY) and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: REGN) today announced that data from two Phase 2 trials with SAR236553/REGN727, an investigational, high-affinity, subcutaneously administered, fully-human antibody targeting PCSK9 (proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9), were presented at the American College of Cardiology’s (ACC) 61st Annual Scientific Meeting in Chicago.
The data showed that treatment with SAR236553/REGN727 over 8 to 12 weeks significantly reduced mean low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C, or “bad” cholesterol) by 40% to 72% in patients with elevated LDL-C on stable dose of statins.

Today Safe Kids Worldwide released a new research report that found while the death rate among children from poisoning has been cut in half since the late 1970s, the percentage of all child poisoning deaths due to medications has nearly doubled, from 36 percent to 64 percent.
Safe Storage, Safe Dosing, Safe Kids: A Report to the Nation on Safe Medication examines trends in morbidity and mortality of medication poisoning among children ages 14 and under. The report underscores the challenge of medication-related poisoning among children and offers solutions that will reverse the trends. Safe Kids also proposes specific roles that parents and other caregivers, industry, governments, and the medical community can play in improving medication safety through safe storage and safe dosing.

According to a recent national survey, 17.1 percent of Americans lack health insurance, and more than nine million of the nation’s uninsured rely on federally qualified health centers (FQHC), non-profit community clinics and free clinics each year for primary care. While these clinics serve the critical health care needs of the uninsured, patients oftentimes cannot afford the medications prescribed by the clinic’s physicians, or navigate a fragmented system that only offers partial solutions. This is a particularly growing problem for America’s working poor.
Today, Medco Foundation and Dispensary of Hope (DOH), a not-for-profit pharmacy-focused social venture for the uninsured, introduced a new, national initiative to substantially improve the supply, delivery and management of critical prescription drugs to thousands of uninsured Americans who are managing a chronic illness.

Drugs are everywhere. The use of prescription painkillers has increased dramatically in recent years, and prescription drug abuse is now the nation’s fastest-growing drug problem. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, more than 5 million Americans misuse painkillers each month. Opioid painkillers—a class of very powerful and potentially addicting pain relievers—are the most common source of drug overdose deaths, resulting in more unintentional deaths than cocaine and heroin combined.
