Russell Blaylock, MD - Take with a grain of...

[pigeonca]

I saw a post on the previous page from Abbas quoting Dr. Russell Blaylock re. post tx side effects.  Although there is a great deal of info from legitimate sources about such sides, anything from Blaylock should be taken with a lump of salt because a grain isn't enough.  He's part of the anti-aspartame crowd headed by "Mad Betty" Martini, who spams the Internet with lengthy diatribes against aspartame, vaccinations, and mercury in fillings.  These folks like to include some real facts along with their imaginings - just enough to convince anybody who doesn't investigate, and who always has the time to investigate?

As a diabetic, I've run into Blaylock, Martini, Rense et al when they spam alt.support.diabetes, my diabetes support group.  They are whack jobs.  Don't believe anything they say!!  It MIGHT be true, but you can never be sure.  If you don't believe me, check their writings for conspiracy theories, which are dead giveaways of where they're at.

yeah, I know it probably sounds like I psyched myself out or something, but I didn't even know that's what I got, I sent in friends to get me the yogurt while I waited in the car (I don't know about anywhere else but frozen yogurt places are the thing to do around here, ha ha) and I thought I was getting the real stuff, and it was the artificially sweetned kind....I just knew I felt weird and couldn't eat it, then I found out it had that in it ...strange though...and I can't eat too much sugar either and haven't been able to for a long time...prob a good thing...

yes, I'm glad that hepatologist brought up high fructose corn syrup in his presentation, really an evil spirit, ha ha, well, particially responsible for a lot of these kids having type 2 or obesity...particially responsible...

Anyway, P. glad youre home from your trip, hope you had a fabo time!

i agree about the high fructose corn syrup. this is one of  the worse things in food & drink. the body is not able to process this like sugar but the companies can save big $$$ by using it instead of sugar. always comes down to the money, the more a company saves the more people suffer!

Don't bother checking him out - just avoid him and listen to your own doctor instead.

This guy gives me the CREEPS majorly.

I wonder if humans would benefit from this, just kidding, i think....


The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) today announced the approval of two formulations of Cerenia (maropitant citrate), a new class of drug that is effective against certain causes of vomiting in dogs.  Cerenia Tablets are indicated for the prevention of acute vomiting and vomiting due to motion sickness, and Cerenia Injectable Solution is approved for the prevention and treatment of acute vomiting.

Cerenia is the first product approved for: the prevention of vomiting due to motion sickness and the prevention and treatment of acute vomiting in dogs.  Both products are available only by order of a veterinarian.

Motion sickness affects many dogs, who can become ill as early as five minutes after the start of a trip.  In addition, dogs undergoing chemotherapy or suffering from a parvoviral infection, kidney disease, pancreatitis, or other disease, can suffer from acute vomiting that can cause electrolyte abnormalities, weakness, dehydration, and possibly death.  Dogs frequently must be hospitalized and treated with intravenous (IV) fluids to address problems from severe vomiting.

"This approval is good news for many dog owners whose dogs suffer from motion sickness and for whom even a small journey can trigger vomiting," said Stephen Sundlof, D.V.M., Ph.D., director of FDA's Center for Veterinary Medicine. "But it is even more important for cases in which vomiting -- whatever its cause -- can be a serious health hazard."

In one of the studies supporting the approval of Cerenia, the drug was tested on dogs with cancer undergoing chemotherapeutic treatment with cisplatin, an agent that induces strong vomiting. In these trials, Cerenia was 95 percent effective in preventing vomiting from cisplatin.
