In Secula Seculorum
This post is twinned with No Room at the Inn. In Secula Seculorum are Latin words that resonate for anyone of a certain age with a Catholic background. Intoned in a sonorous and rhythmic way at ceremonies, they conjured up the sacred and holy. Looked at rather than listened to, they conjure up the opposite - secularism. The words mean forever and ever. Worlds … [Read more...] about In Secula Seculorum
Coming Clean on Neonatal Deaths
This post by Peter Selley needs reading in conjunction with Uterine Roulette, Lonesome Heroines and Silent Health. It is about our rights to information rather than about vaccines per se. There is an industry playbook here put in place with SSRI drugs over 30 years ago that needs recognizing and tackling. GSK (GlaxoSmithKline) are dragging their feet about being transparent … [Read more...] about Coming Clean on Neonatal Deaths
Silent Health
This post links to last week's Silencing Safety and Women and Children First and this week's Lonesome Heroines on RxISK. For decades, Jack Noble has been an inspiration for anyone in my and I'm sure other circles, who is concerned about the way medicine is going and the influence of pharma. He's a straight-talking Bostonian, now living in Texas, who can't easily be … [Read more...] about Silent Health

The RSV … [Read more...] about Women and Children First: The RSV Iceberg
Pharmageddon and Fertility
This post needs reading in conjunction with Has Healthcare Gone Mad and A Medical Triumph. This image of declining British fertility from 1880 was repeated across the Western world and more recently the whole world. The usual explanations are in terms of social and economic factors and are typically seen as a good thing. Progressives see women getting more control over the … [Read more...] about Pharmageddon and Fertility
