...born in 1953 and I got my polio shots when I was age 4, and I am thankful as there were still cases of the disease in Europe at that time. But I am against giving babies vaccines against everything. I've had measles, whooping cough, rubella and chicken pox. I survived them all. Vaccinations should be kept to the minimum, so that the body can respond to ailments in the natural way. Roberta Fischer Malara, VARESE, ITALY...
...familiar with the concept. In 2004, it spent $23 billion on marketing, crafting an image of safety, health, and well-being through television and print ads as well as the aggressive pursuit of trusted doctors and health-care professionals. Indeed, the positive effects of many modern medical treatments including cough medicines, antibiotics in the case of some infections, and the majority of back and arthroscopic surgeries have been proven to be the result of culturally ingrained expectations of their usefulness. Not one of the listed treatments beats a less expensive alternative...
...fighting, I went to a seminar about inoculation at Cassandra's yoga center. Along with about 50 other people, we paid $30 each to listen to Dr. Lauren Feder.

Beer, shots, Jack and Coke, or even Grandpa’s old cough syrup will also allow you to yell for far longer and come up with much cleverer insults for the opposing team (or so you will think), spurring the Harvard troops to victory. And as it does with homework or talking to HUPD, alcohol just makes the games more...
...coming days, as the weather cools and children warehouse germs in school, many more Americans than normal may become sick with the flu. Everyone will probably know someone who is sick. (Most will never know for sure if they had H1N1, but if they had a fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue, that will be a safe assumption.) People under age 25 are more likely to get sick. Most who get it will be quite ill for about a week and then recover, assuming the virus doesn't mutate. Most cases will...
