Individuals with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) may be at twice the risk of sustaining traumatic dental injuries (TDIs). The systemic review was published in the European Review for Medical and Pharmacological Sciences.
Therefore, clinicians should be trained to raise awareness and implement preventive strategies to reduce the risk of TDIs in individuals with ADHD, the author wrote. Continue reading
PHARMACEU’TIC, PHARMACEU’TICAL, adjective [Gr. to practice witchcraft or use medicine; poison or medicine.] Pertaining to the knowledge or art of pharmacy, or to the art of preparing medicines.
‘Granny’ is an old friend and contributing columnist to the family of web-sites of Kettle Moraine Publications. Is she a pharmacist or pharmacologist? Absolutely not – but she is now in her 80’s and has learned from a personal standpoint about the good and bad of that which is manipulated by the likes of BIG Pharma and those who they line the pockets of – our elected Congress official-DUMB and those in the Medical field who continue to buy into all of the nonsense of the sales pitch.
Will Granny be a frequent columnist and continuing contributor – maybe – maybe not – but our purpose here today – is quite simple to understand. Remember after all – It’s YOUR Health – YOUR Choice! ~ Editor

Just take a little pill…
Common drugs prescribed to treat attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are associated with an increased risk of glaucoma, a recent Canadian study found.
Glaucoma is a progressive eye disease that causes vision loss. Angle-closure glaucoma is a subtype that contraindicates with popular ADHD drugs. Continue reading
After Jackie Trapp was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, an incurable blood cancer, in 2015, she thought her biggest health shock was behind her. Then came the bills for Revlimid, a powerful cancer drug that her doctor said was her best hope for controlling the disease. The first month’s supply cost $11,148; the second, $12,040 – and her insurer denied coverage. “I’d need to take the drug every month, for years,” says Trapp, 59, a former high school teacher and realtor from Muskego, Wis. “My husband and I had done well in our careers, we’d been frugal and we’d saved, but there was no way paying $120,000 a year or more was sustainable.”
Figuring out how to pay for the drug that’s keeping her alive has become an all-consuming project. Trapp fought her insurer’s denial and won, and has switched health plans twice to ensure continued coverage. To afford her annual co-pays for Revlimid – $15,000 to $21,000 a year recently, before a new law capping out-of-pocket costs for people on Medicare took effect in 2024 – she’s tapped into assistance programs from drug makers and grants from health care foundations. She has also drawn down savings, taken out two mortgages, sold her car, some furniture, and her husband’s classic truck, and lives as cheaply as possible, growing her own vegetables and DIY-ing everything from lawn care to hair cuts.

In a new experiment, researchers found that individuals with distinguishing qualities of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, like difficulty regulating where they focus their attention, and restlessness, have better foraging strategies than those with more neurotypical traits.
The findings have researchers speculating that ADHD evolved as an adaptive survival strategy – one that hinders resource exploitation in the same spot and instead favors exploration of new spots. This could possibly explain why ADHD is so prevalent in the human population today, impacting hundreds of millions worldwide. Continue reading
Uncle Sam has made some progress in reducing cancer drug shortages by working with manufacturers to restart U.S. production facilities that were previously shut down, as well as securing vital overseas supplies.
One drug, cisplatin, often used to treat ovarian, bladder and testicular cancer has already returned to near 100% pre-shortage levels of supply. However, The U.S. still has an overall shortage of 15 cancer drugs, per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), because of manufacturing and supply chain problems. Continue reading
Health authorities in Punjab, Pakistan, where the incident took place say that Avastin, a cancer drug injection made by Swiss pharmaceutical giant Roche, say they are currently probing two distributors of the shot, which contains the active ingredient bevacizumab.
In Pakistan, bevacizumab is licensed for use in the same ways it was first approved for use in the United States back in 2004, particularly in the treatment of colon cancer. Since then, bevacizumab has been given the green light for use in treating cancers of the lung, kidneys, and brain.
The Drug Regulatory Authority of Pakistan (DRAP) recently gave bevacizumab the go-ahead to also be used in treating colorectal cancer and other forms of metastatic carcinomas. Continue reading
Dr. Robert Malone has warned that Moderna’s own patent shows that its Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine contains “billions of DNA fragments and other contaminants linked to birth defects and cancer.”
Malone made the warning at the recent “Injuries Caused by COVID-19 Vaccines” hearing led by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Georgia).
At the November hearing, Malone revealed that Moderna acknowledges in its own patent that RNA is preferable to DNA in vaccines because of the risks involved. Additionally, Moderna’s mRNA injection, which was administered to tens of millions of people… (Continue to full article)
Government Data Shows Young People Now Dying of Cancer at “Explosive” Rates Following COVID Vaccine Push
There is no denying, based on available data, that cancer rates massively spiked following the release of Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) “vaccines” through Operation Warp Speed.
Between 2021 and 2022 when most of the now-fully vaccinated world got jabbed, cancer deaths skyrocketed, particularly among young people, according to data from the United Kingdom’s Office for National Statistics (ONS).
The same government entities that pretended to care about everyone’s health in 2020 when they shut down businesses and schools and told everyone to stay at home in isolation suddenly could not care less once 2021 arrived and the jabs started to cause widespread health problems… (Continue to full article)
Young Adults Who Took 4 COVID Vaccines Are 256% More Likely to Die, Especially From TURBO CANCERS
The Office for National Statistics (ONS), the official reporting department of the United Kingdom, quietly published a data set that shows appalling mortality rates in young adults who took four Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccines. The ONS data tracks deaths by vaccination status from April 1, 2021, to May 31, 2023.
From January to May 2023, young adults aged 18 to 39 who were vaccinated four times up until that point were 256 percent more likely to die compared to their unvaccinated peers. In February 2023, the quadruple vaccinated were 318 percent more likely to die of any cause compared to unvaccinated people.
One of the most alarming trends is skyrocketing cancer rates among young people… (Continue to full article)
“Here’s how i knew i had cervical cancer”
One Survivor’s Story of Discovering Unexpected Symptoms
Cervical cancer symptoms might not present in the ways you’d be inclined to guess. One woman’s story highlights how important it is not to question your own questions: “It was the look on my doctor’s face.”
Despite standard gynecological practices, the CDC says more than half of women diagnosed with cervical cancer say they never or rarely had a Pap test nor were tested for the human papilloma virus (HPV) that leads to many cervical cancers. “This is a travesty,” says Pari Ghodsi, MD, FACOG, an OB/GYN and women’s health specialist in Los Angeles, CA, “because the symptoms of cervical cancer can be very subtle, yet they can be detected very early on with regular screenings.
Christie O’Sullivan, 48, of Trinity, FL, is one of these women whose life was saved when symptoms caused her to request a cervical cancer screening… (Continue to full article)
EARLY DETECTION, EARLY DEATH: Mammograms Linked to 84% Higher Breast Cancer Death RateNew research published in JAMA Oncology reveals that mammography is responsible for an astounding 84 percent higher rate of breast cancer deaths over a 20-year surveillance period.
Because of the very high rate of false positives they produce, mammograms end up killing, it would seem, many more women than would otherwise die from breast cancer had they never participated in the mammography racket.
Mammograms produce trauma in patients, both physically in breast tissue and also psychologically, emotionally and even spiritually in women who end up being told that they must undergo even more invasive “treatments” in order to survive.
The pressure that mammography puts on breast tissue can be a cause of cancer in and of itself… (Continue to full article)
Sweet and Deadly: Here’s how SUGAR fuels CANCER in the body
While sugar provides much-needed sweetness to make food delicious, it also “feeds” cancer cells in the body.
How does this happen?
It’s best to start from the source itself – sugar, a simple carbohydrate produced naturally by green plants through the process of photosynthesis. Sugar cane and sugar beets have the greatest quantities of sugar of all plant types, making them the top sources of table sugar after processing.
Glucose, fructose, sucrose, dextrose, lactose and maltose are some of the different forms of sugar found in food. Sugar molecules can stick together; glucose and fructose can combine to become sucrose, commonly known as table sugar… (Continue to full article)
Long-term exposure to ADHD medication is linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases, particularly hypertension and arterial disease, according to a new study.
Randomized clinical trials (RCTs) may have demonstrated ADHD medications effectiveness, but some studies raise concerns about the drug’s cardiovascular safety. Meta-analyses found ADHD medications can slightly increase heart rate and blood pressure. Investigators of a 2015 study wrote how randomized clinical trials typically evaluate short-term effects as the average treatment duration sits at 75 days. Therefore, the increase in blood pressure and heart race ADHD medication causes could potentially lead to cardiovascular disease over time. Continue reading
What you are about to read, is one of many articles published on this site since the year 2000, regarding the misuse of prescription drugs to “control” supposed “out of control” children. The category, “A Spoonful of Sugar,” relates more to the dietary habits, which seem to have a greater affect on these children.
As a former assistant Scout-Master of a Boy Scout Troop, which seemed to draw more of its fair share of “ADD/ADHD” diagnosed children – the common denominator in their homes, was bowls of sugar – candy – cookies, cakes and pies. Every kind of dessert imaginable, but poor overall dietary habits, many of which, were mirrored on our frequent Troop camping trips. “Don’t forget the Chitos and the M&M’s!“
And the Doctors? Well, they seem to dispense this stuff as if it were candy! (Ed.) Continue reading
The world’s pharmaceutical drug factories have become so filthy that the United States Department of Defense (DoD) is intervening to try to clean things up by bringing in an outside testing service to spot contamination.
Valisure, an independent testing laboratory that deals with this kind of thing, was brought in by the DoD to test a slew of medications amid growing concerns about pharmaceutical drug contamination and other quality and supply issues. Continue reading
This week, the Biden-Harris administration announced the first 10 drugs that Medicare will be allowed to negotiate prices for beginning in 2026 – the list contains many medications that cardiologists commonly prescribe for their patients.
The drugs are part of the first wave of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), which aims to reduce prescription drug costs for Medicare beneficiaries while cutting drug spending by the federal government. Already, the IRA has lowered the cost of insulin to $35 or less, and out-of-pocket spending by Medicare beneficiaries is set to be capped at $2,000 per year beginning in 2025. Continue reading

Medicare to start negotiating prices for 10 drugs
Medicare, the health insurance program for people over 65 years old, said it will start negotiating prices on 10 drugs, part of its mandate under the Inflation Reduction Act to lower prescription prices for older Americans.
The first drugs under price negotiations include diabetes medication Jardiance, insulin such as the NovoLog FlexPen and the heart medication Entresto, according to a statement by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
The negotiations mark the first time Medicare has been able to haggle over drug prices for its 65 million enrollees. They come at a time when 1 in 5 seniors say they are skipping doses because of the cost of their medications. While the negotiations are expected to lower drug costs for Medicare enrollees, the effort faces litigation from drugmakers and heavy criticism from Republican lawmakers.
AARP, the advocacy group for older Americans, called the negotiations “monumental” … (Continue to full article)
New Research Sheds Light on Side Effects of COVID-19 Vaccination
Shortly following their COVID-19 vaccinations, individuals in Denmark reported mild side effects like general discomfort, elevated body temperature, and tiredness. Severe adverse reactions like facial paralysis and allergic responses are rare. Additionally, 30% of menstruating women reported alterations in their menstrual cycles.
Aarhus University has recently published two studies examining the side effects of COVID-19 vaccines.
Both studies are based on the Danish BiCoVac cohort, which makes it possible to carry out studies based on a large group of the Danish population. One of the studies examined the acute side effects of Covid-19 vaccination.
The most frequently reported side effects after the first small prick on the shoulder are redness and pain at the injection site, which 20% of people experience. After the second and third jabs, fatigue is the most reported side effect – reported by 22% and 14% of people, respectively.
The study has been published in the journal Vaccine. The study found that common side effects such as malaise, fever, and fatigue are among the most frequently reported in Denmark after Covid-19 vaccination. More serious side effects such as facial paralysis and allergic reactions are not as common… (Continue to full article)
New Covid variant may be causing a strange new symptom at night
BA.5, sometimes known as the “sibling” of the Omicron variant has become a dominant form of the virus in recent weeks.
In the US, BA.5 currently accounts for around 65 percent of Covid cases, according to the CDC, and it is also dominating infections in the UK.
And it is not just the same as all the other Covid variants, in terms of its symptoms.
According to the ZOE Covid Study app, the most reported Covid symptoms among vaccinated people (two doses) include: runny nose, headache, sneezing, sore throat, and persistent cough.
If you are not already, get jabbed? HAHAHAHAHA!!! (Continue to full article)
Mask Mandate Update as CDC Responds to Speculation
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has responded to speculation that it may be considering the return of mask mandates amid a rise in coronavirus infections linked to the emergence of new variants of the virus.
A spokesperson for the agency told Newsweek it currently has no intention to call for a return of mask mandates, but didn’t deny that this might change if cases of the new variants were to rise significantly.
“[The] CDC does not issue mandates, we make recommendations, and they are based on the current circumstances,” they said. “We will continue monitoring and will adjust our recommendations accordingly.in the U.S. believe this dietary approach reduces the risk of diseases, including cancer… (Continue to full article)
I was a third week Senior at Glenbrook North High School in 1965 – and I knew that something was wrong…
As I progressed from the 5th grade on – through the 6th grade and then into Middle School at Northbrook Junior High and subsequently into High School, I found myself beginning to lack in numerous areas of my education. In English, I was an astute reader (and still am), and Science classes were interesting to me – chiefly due to the exciting talents of one teacher in Junior High – who smoked a pipe in class! History was always a subject that I thoroughly enjoyed, but as time went on, many of the teachers became boring – hence I became bored – more so in High School. Continue reading
Prince Harry is the latest addition to the wave of celebrities who’ve been diagnosed with either ADD (attention deficit disorder) or ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder).
In fact, he was diagnosed in a highly public way, during a live-streamed conversation, by controversial self-help guru Dr Gabor Maté.
‘Reading the book, I diagnose you with ADD,‘ Maté said, referring to the Duke of Sussex’s autobiography, Spare. ‘I see it as a normal response to normal stress, not a disease.’ Continue reading
