"TIME HEALS" AND THE TYLENOL RECALL

How many of you read the lead article in Tuesday's Personal Journal section of the Wall Street Journal? It's called Getting Well: It’s About Time and tells us that Americans aren't patient when it comes to feeling sick.

How about yesterday's Tylenol recall announcement?. McNeil disclosed that they are pulling 21 infant's and children's Tylenol medications off the shelves due to bacterial contamination.

My first reaction was twenty-one medications? Is it possible that Tylenol makes twenty-one different products for children and infants? Our impatience for feeling sick clearly must extend to our babies and children.

Read my two latest blog posts from Wednesday and today, and tell me what you think. And if you're in the mood to read a bit more about drugs, take a look at the recent article I posted about Pregnancy and Antidepressants. While you're there, check out the magazine in which it was published. This is clearly a mainstream concern, even (especially?) among the beautiful and well-heeled.

HELP US DELIVER BIG CROWDS TO ALBANY ON SEPTEMBER 29

Click HERE to learn more about the No Vaccine Mandates Rally in Albany on Tuesday. The New York State Department of Health mandated the seasonal and swine flu vaccines for tens of thousands of health care workers and many of them are rip roaring mad. We're expecting huge numbers of nurses and health care workers, vaccine rights activists, constitutional defense groups and concerned parents and citizens to march on the state capitol in Albany.

I'll be there. And I'll be joined by Gary Null, PhD, Ralph Fucetola, JD, Mayer Eisenstein, MD, John Gilmore, Rita Palma, Sue Fields, RN and many others who are also confirmed to speak at the event.

Last year, New Jersey mandated the flu shot for all children 6 to 59 months of age as a requirement for daycare and preschool. This year, New York mandated flu shots for health care workers. Who's next? You should pay careful attention and consider how it would feel if you were forced to get these shots or any other medical procedure or pharmaceutical drug, as a requirement for employment, school admission, citizenship, health insurance, airline travel... it's a slippery slope. Engage now or engage later. This is an issue that should concern us all.

EVEN IF you can't attend, you can do a lot. You can spread the word via Facebook, Twitter, to your personal and business networks. You can print out the flyer and post it everywhere you go. You can print out the media release and share it with the press (contacts provided in the link above). You can write a letter to the editor of your local paper. You can organize a local rally in your community in support of those protesting in Albany.

INFECTIOUS DISEASE MD MORE CONCERNED ABOUT H1N1 VACCINE THAN DISEASE

Fox News aired this video clip as part of their Tracking H1N1 coverage yesterday. Infectious disease expert, Dr. Kent Holtorf says he is more concerned about the H1N1 vaccine that has been rushed to market than he is about the disease itself. In fact, he says that swine flu has lost much of its virulence and, if given the choice, you would prefer to get swine flu than regular seasonal flu.
