Seventeen percent of the U.S. teen population is African American. In 2004, 70 percent of all teens testing HIV-positive were black.
The DOD and the CDC and get their message straight. If they want to convince parents that multiple vaccines might be risky for some soldiers but safe for all little kids, well, good luck.
Do not get caught up with all of the hoopla about steeping time and water temperature -- just get to it.
On World AIDS Day, we need to remember those we have lost, but we also need to remember the 39.5 million individuals and households that are also affected by and with HIV.
It is impossible to overstate the impact of the loss of a beloved family member. But as great as the loss was, the impact of my mother's life was even greater.
We must fight for all Americans to be treated equally on every single level of their lives -- and this must include health care. We must fight every single day for this change.
Instead of spending money on more band-aids, a revised Constitution with a health care amendment would give direction to a unique American purpose and, over time, solve an historic problem.
When he assumes power, Barack Obama will take the reigns of the largest, sustained commitment of any nation to lifesaving HIV treatments for some of the world's most impoverished citizens.
On the 20th anniversary of World AIDS Day, despite the medical advances that have been made, this story serves as a powerful reminder of the struggles and indignities people living with HIV/AIDS still face.
Of all the things that I have seen, of all the conversations, of all the meetings, I wanted to share with you today the one thing that sticks in my mind, and keeps me awake at night.
In an earlier post we commented on positive aspects of the relationship between Michelle and Barack Obama. Fresh from having watched their recent 60 M...
Of course we don't want to distract energy from the fight against Prop 8's vicious proponents - but if we don't deal with these issues, rising HIV levels and the possibility of super-AIDS will deal with us.
It's almost certain. The holidays come with drinking. Whether it's celebratory, stress related, or just part of the program, alcohol finds its way i...
Even if you overeat at Thanksgiving, what you do on that one day will not determine your weight a year from now. It is what you do on average, over time, that determines what you weigh.
For years now, scientists at the Centers for Disease Control and elsewhere have said that autism is probably a purely genetic disorder. Those days are over now.

Guess I have to read "the whole story" to find out what "work" means in this respect.
Gonna do that now.
IT is good to see that he has done this.
Three years is good but not great. My wife, a naturopathic physician, and I have been all organic for over 10 years. It is neither more expensive nor hard to find and I live in the backwoods of rural minnesota, not NYC.
I liked the trick of looking for bar codes on food that start with a 9 to identify organic. That is a neat idea. I wish the doc luck in keeping up the all organic.
It is the only way to go. If you compare safety of organics versus conventional, which has to use anti fungal/bacterial sprays and irradiation just to make their food safe there is no comparison.
Don't panic, just eat organic.
In the future Soylent Green will be made of organic people?
I'm sure organic is better - but cutting back on meat probably improved his health, too -- lightens the load on the digestive tract.
Nice to see a doctor who's willing to do his homework!
