Comment on Simple Medicine by Will Regan

Yes. Everywhere I look I see commoditization of human interaction and the order of the day is to convince people that less “human error” is gained by making things less human. The problem is that after enough time people barely even know how to to interpret the tests. I have read many pieces about the visiting “third world” doctor who spots symptoms because he was trained to use his own eyes and ears. If American medical “science” in diagnosis were so perfect we would be the top medical country in the world instead of the twentieth. It’s become so bad people don’t even expect human expertise.

Comment on The Power of Chewing: Improving Digestion, part 2 by Kaz

I agree 100%. Chewing is so important in life!! Taking your time to eat will lead to improvement in health and even more stimulating discussions because you enjoy your meal. The next time you sit down at a table, remind yourself to chew 20-50 times and see what happens!!!

Congrats on re-birthing yourself as a chef!! I find I need to cyclically reinspire and rediscover cooking/food, possibly the repercussion of 3 dragons vs one dog. Cooking is truly the daily alchemy that powers the system. Just wait until you start fermenting

Comment on Osteoporosis Drug Linked to Leg Breaks by jeffrey dach md

The Fosamax (Alendronate) study done for FDA approval failed to show any benefit for the majority of the worried well, which is the osteopenia group defined as T score greater than -2.5. This Osteopenia Group actually had higher fracture rates than placebo. This was published by Cummings in JAMA in 1998.

Bisphosphonate drugs like Fosamax have severe adverse side effects of jaw necrosis (OJN), spontaneous mid-femur fracture, heart rhythm disturbances, and severe bone and joint pain.

The spontaneous mid femur fractures are especially troubling, since these are spontaneous fractures without any trauma. Subtrochanteric fractures are pathological fractures, indicating the underlying bone matrix is abnormal. This anormal weakening and brittleness is directly caused by the bisphosphonate drug.

Bottom Line: These are BAD drugs that actually make the bones weaker not stronger, and they should be banned by the FDA . However, knowing the FDA which is in the pocket of the drug companies, no action will be taken until many more women victims suffer from these drugs, and many more cases work their way through drug litigation court..
