I havent really looked over this webpage very carefully just saw the discussion on Kidney dis-ease and was interested in making contact (Just for the record did anybody know you can massage kidneys, its called medical massage) As to the writers concern Im not sure what the drug was in question but I do know that medicine must change to reflect real interest in peoples health, not just kowtowing to paid for ad`s, a pharmaceutical companies great barbecue and suspect ’substantiated’ studies done by drug companies themselves? I myself attempted to deliver a paper in NYC in 2005 to a no profit group call Fisher Foundation a friend works for. She flatly told me outright that the researchers there were not interested in anything to address Parkinsons that wasnt chemically oriented. The addressing (I am not a physician so I use care with the word ‘treat’) of parks symptoms exclusively with pharms follows the lead of tweaking in-brain systems in the hopeful attempt to balance dopamine production. In other places like Asia tai chi exercise is employed along with medications as it helps re-instill cross crawl pattern natural movement, ‘automaticity’ stimulated through changes in posture breath movement and mind the base brain or substantia nigra and limbic hindbrain is my understanding, the pro-ambulatory movement center and area of dopamine production. Also breathing regular long slow breaths done in concert with easy relaxing movements helps to stimulate endorphin release and so one could imagine (if there is any imagination left out there!) other neuro transmitter systems could come more towards homeostasis baseline or ‘all systems normal’. Part of the resistance to such offers however seems cultural or, exclusive-ist highminded and haughty, yet there is hope. I recently saw a piece on Mark Morris school of dance in NYC where Parks patients are experiencing some relief. It appears that the joyous or, preprogrammed movement of dance like tai chi allows a persons natural effortless ambulation once they are able to unburden themselves where symptoms can at least momentarily improve. The question ‘will the good doctor now become dance instructor” remains to be seen as there is such disparity between the professions ! In relation to this line of query Im glad that Sanjay Gupta has stepped down as surgeon general candidate for Obamas new team. I saw him on the Today show a few years age (another bastion of news-lessness) when asked how to best treat teen migraine syndrome responded with the usual, take this and this drug’. In the outside press specifically IONS reported several years back (1995?) Marylin Schlitz Phd wrote ‘teenage boys who learn self modification lifestyle enhancements were able to control theyre migraine symptoms even more striking it appears they were able to control therye own brain mast cells rapid growth which experts think is responsible for the aches and pains. Because complimentary medicine suggests changing ones behavior in some way we resist it if it doesnt appear to compliment and support the way we perceive our world. Even as docs now know ‘the environment and behaviors can change a person’ still its so much easier to take a pill, or is it?

You got me, never read a book in my life.

I got my degree by performing sex acts on my teachers.

Just kidding, I am an avid reader, and even read the drivel in your sorry blog post.

Don’t you think it is dirty pool going after Michelle when us libs were so supportive of Laura.

Your friend in Christ.

Michael T – The scary thing is that Merck and others are, for now, untouchable – especially since they ‘own’ the CDC, NIH, etc. Thanks for the intelligent comment.

Otto – It’s obvious that you don’t read that much. It’s not funny and I doubt that you’re dumber because you read this post – you’ve already hit rock bottom. I need no forgiveness. Have a nice day.

This is the dumbest blog pablum I have ever read.

It is extremely funny considering the situation we are in now.

I am now dumber for reading this post.

May god forgive you because History will not.
