Alberto Costa is a neuroscience specialist on a mission.  READ UP. He’s investigating the use of memantine in patients with Down syndrome.

A race against time for Down syndrome research | ProLife NZ.

We could be helping kids with Down syndrome, but it’s so hard to get that kind of neuroscience funded… Why?  It’s easier to kill those kids and that is done 90 percent of the time now, in the U.S.

Technical and medical advances have mostly been direct responses to human need.  When those with needs  are killed instead….. no more advancement.  That’s the leftie vision for us.

Antares Pharma Topical Birth Control Gel in Clinical Trials

~ Pharmer ~ 1 Comment

Antares Pharma and Population Council Announce Positive Phase 2 Trial Results – Drugs.com MedNews.

Antares has a new topical birth control gel containing nestorone and estradiol in clinical trials.  The dose is ‘one pump daily  and rub it on’  (that means variable drug delivery).  Their small, dose determining trial with 18 women is reported to have shown a ‘positive’ result regarding efficacy, with the effect on ovulation evaluated  by progesterone levels and measurement of follicular development by ultrasound.

ABC seems to consider offering a new topical delivery system (gel instead of patch) as a ginormous medical breakthrough.  The link to their video is being offered as amusement, rather than medical information.

It’s just another birth control drug.

Chemical Abortion

~ Pharmer

Pro-lifers recognize surgical abortion as killing humans, but not all of them recognize the scope of the problem presenting as chemical abortion. Generally we  recognize  mifepristone, the chemical formerly known as RU-486. The initial name of the drug  stayed with us, (the same as with the Artist formerly known as Prince).  Mifepristone is best known in the U.S. for its function to kill unborn humans during the embryonic stage, up to 49 days of pregnancy, although it has other investigational uses.

Meet the TWINS!  Ulipristal acetate and Mifepristone.  As you can see, they’re not quite identical, but very close. Both are selective progesterone receptor modulators.


Mifepristone, RU-486 is the most regulated drug in the U.S. Pharmacists don’t dispense it. It’s supposed to be dispensed only by physicians, directly to patients. In China and other countries it has been used as a morning after pill, as well as a killer of later embryos and early fetuses.

Those astute drug companies knew that this drug would not sell as a morning after pill in the U.S. That’s why we have it’s TWIN, Ulipristal Acetate, approved  by the FDA  in August , 2010,  and brought to us in by Watson Pharmaceuticals in December of the same year.  Watson also distributes Next Choice, generic of the original form of Plan B.

At 0.5mg/kg, Ulipristal Acetate, marketed as ELLA, is usable as a morning after pill. It’s marketed as an inhibitor of ovulation, but the manufacturer admits that the operative mechanism depends on the timing of its use. Like RU-486, Ulipristone is an anti-progesterone. It stops the action of that hormone in the reproductive tract, inhibits proliferation of the endometrium, inhibits implantation, and kills the embryo.

John Stossel: ABC Politics Stopped Him From Doing Acorn Story.

~ Pharmer

Stossel, now working at FOX, made this admission while interviewing Andrew Breitbart.

Pharmer has the inside track on something that FOX News has not been eager to cover: stories containing the admission that birth control pills can operate by stopping the life of an early human embryo. Fox News reporters would call for interviews dealing with this issue time and time again, take down information, then never call back. At that time, other news networks, newspapers and radio were still permitted to deal with this subject. It was also covered on the O’Reilly Factor elsewhere on the FOX network.

More recently, FOX was able to mention that pharmacists were resisting the Blagojevich order forcing them to dispense all birth control pills in 2005, but we can’t find this year’s Illinois Judicial decision in favor of the pharmacy owners on their network. Maybe it’s buried somewhere deep.

Not to worry, the real news is on the internet now, and the New Media have taken up this story, and many others which the Old Media will not cover.

Organs from Killed Patients are better for transplant use than organs from accident victims

~ Pharmer

Shock study: Organs harvested from euthanized patients make better transplants | LifeSiteNews.com.

In this Belgian study, 23.5 percent of the lung transplants are taken from euthanized patients.  Better outcomes for the recipient are reported using these organs rather than those from accident or trauma victims.

According to a Canadian Medical Association report,  20 percent of Belgian nurses, interviewed for their study, reported involvement in euthanasia, with half of those cases being without request or consent of the patient.

(Perhaps there’s  reason that Hugo Chavez  hasn’t been doing any of his  medical tourism in Belgium. )

 

 

 

The Food “Detectives”

~ Pharmer

My Way News – Germany: Sprouts are cause of E. coli outbreak.

Only a quote will do:

“Reinhard Burger, president of the Robert Koch Institute, said even though no tests of the sprouts from an organic farm in Lower Saxony had come back positive for the E. coli strain behind the outbreak, an investigation into the pattern of the outbreak had produced enough evidence to draw the conclusion.”

One thing this article does not mention is a study or observation of the food handling and storage conditions.

After damaging the businesses of produce farmers, it’s now said to be OK the lettuce, tomatoes and cucumbers.

But don’t eat the sprouts, even though none are shown to be tainted with the virulent form of E. Coli.

Sorry…. more quotes. “Also, since it has not yet be established why the sprouts were bad – whether the seeds had been contaminated or the farm’s water – the experts said it was possible that other nearby farms could also be affected.” (Non sequitur)

You should read the whole article from MyWay news to fully appreciate the epidemiological work of the “experts”.

Also bear in mind that the organisms associated with food poisoning are transmitted among people by poor hygiene, personal contact, (the fecal oral route),  and improper  food handling.

 

Dangerous Arugula!

~ Pharmer

“alfalfa sprouts, mung bean sprouts, radish sprouts and arugula sprouts from the farm might be connected to the outbreak. Raw sprouts are popular among Germans and often mixed in salads or added to sandwiches.”

via Germany says beansprouts may be behind E.coli – Yahoo! News.

Germany is still shooting down raw vegetables, shot gun style, looking for the virulent strain of E. Coli, ravaging the GI tracts of its citizens.

By the time they’re government ag and  health officials are done, Germans will be cooking whatever few vegetables they eat for a day before consuming them…… leaving no nutritional benefits but the fiber.

The Uelzen Farm in Germany is one more industry to be shut down as a result of the “search” for the source of the E. Coli.

One thing is certain……..it will not be easy for the Germans to follow the Michelle Obama diet for awhile.

Sodium Thiopental

~ Pharmer ~ 1 Comment

It was good enough for Jack the Dripper Kevorkian to use in his “thanatron”, to kill patients, up until the time his medical license was revoked.   He then switched to the use of carbon monoxide.

Kevorkian was eulogized in the New York Times as: “Fiercely principled and equally inflexible, he rarely dated and never married. He lived a penurious life, eating little, avoiding luxury…”

There has been an outcry that the use of sodium thiopental for lethal injection in capital punishment is inhumane, for various reasons, including the fact that it is very short acting, and the person might not be unconscious when the succinyl choline is used to paralyze, and  the potassium chloride is used to stop the heart.

Things that make you say  hmmmmmmm….

*Note- Sodium thiopental has recently  been made unavailable for use in lethal injections, originally due to objections by international suppliers,  and a number of states have substituted sodium pentobarbital.

Think They’ll Start Washing Their Hands After Going To the Bathroom?

~ Pharmer

Germany steps up hunt for deadly E.coli source – Yahoo! News.

Where do you find Escherichia coli?   This is the bacterium most associated with feces.

A particularly virulent strain, (Shiga toxin producer) which is associated with severe food poisoning and sometimes death,  is  causing quite a panic in Europe.

Pharmer hopes that the spread of this organism, (which is transmitted  in the manner of many other organisms associated with food poisoning)  will inspire people to wash their hands after going to the bathroom, and before food handling and preparation.

It might even inspire those in Europe and elsewhere   to attend to the hygiene in their hospitals.  This would benefit ALL the patients.

We have previously seen  governmental wild goose chases looking for the source of  pathogenic organisms where vegetables and food products are grown.  Remember the salsa scare? It would be advisable for people to spend their effort attending to  proper food preparation and personal hygiene.  Hopefully they can still afford the soap and water after the governments have  burned their resources in  futile  attempts to track the organisms, and destroyed massive quantities of good food in the process.
