- Farewell to My Uterus
  Posted by Shemuses
  A personal account of a relationship between a woman and her reproductive organ. After a four-year battle with uterine fibroids, I am finally surrendering. Last Monday, I checked into N.Y. Presbyterian Hospital and underwent a hysterectomy. I am 34 years old.

- Things would be different if Insite were in Montreal
  Posted by Shemuses from Canada
  Imagine Vancouver's supervised injection site being situated not in the Downton Eastside, but in Montreal's gritty east end. The Harper Conservatives, so careful not to interfere in Quebec affairs, would stay as far away from the issue as politically possible.

- Testosterone gene could offer men competitive edge in sports: study
  Posted by MikeS from CBC
  The headline for the story is a wee bit on the misleading side because it says the gene could offer men a competitive advantage. In fact what it really COULD offer is an edge to men who cheat. A significant difference. CBC Radio also managed to suggest possbile racial discrimination because the genotype is more prevelant in Asian men, so if you're doing well and happen to be Asian, the suggestion is you might be cheating. Nevertheless it is an interesting example of how a person's genotype reacts with our environment and medicine.

- Clement seeks appeal of Insite decision
  Posted by Shemuses from Globe and Mail
  Health Minister Tony Clement says he will ask the federal justice minister to appeal a decision by the B.C. Supreme Court that saved North America's only sanctioned safe-injection site from closure at the end of June. On Tuesday, Mr. Justice Ian Pitfield granted users and staff at the popular but controversial facility known as Insite a permanent constitutional exemption from prosecution under federal drug laws.

Superfood or Monster From the Deep? | Gainesville.com | The Gainesville Sun | Gainesville, FL

Interesting to find out if the anchovies are a biproduct of some other product – maybe cheaper to reuse it rather than dispose of it and dupe the public into believeing it is for their benfit.

Deported in Coma, Saved Back in U.S.

I see no way this will ever be fixed as long as the world is driven by the desire to amass money.. I do not say this in any altruistic sense, just logic. This may be the best system we’ve got at the moment, but it is by no means a good one.
While I am by far (for the moment) much better off than these folks, I am by no means immune to perhaps having to choose between living and dying for myself and or a family member because of monetary constraints at some point.

Survey: Half of US doctors use placebo treatments

I am not surprise that doctors give patients placebo because most patients were not physically sick. Most are mentally sick because of their imagination and some wanted attention.
These doctors usually give these patients vitamin C or a multi-vitamin which will not worsen their condition. But will help they psychologically.
Great post. Keep them coming.

Eco-Friendly Sex Toys: Why Your Pink Parts Should Go Green

I consider myself a sex toy junkie, and have been using sex toys for the past 10 years. I can’t stress enough the importance of Eco-sex toys or so called Green Sex Toys. They are safe for you and the environment. Many sex toy manufacturers have completely switched into producing only sex toys that are phthalate-free, but I believe that everyone should impose on manufacturers and demand that sex toys are always "Green".
