Lies, Damn Lies and Medical ResearchBy Dana Ullman, expert in homeopathic medicine.Posted in the Huffington Post on April 30, 2010"The idea of scientific medicine is a great one, but is modern medicine truly, or even adequately, 'scientific'?Modern medicine uses the double-blind and placebo-controlled

trial as the gold standard by which the effectiveness of a treatment is determined. On the surface, this scientific method is very reasonable. However, serious problems in these studies are widely acknowledged by academics but remain unknown to the general public. Fundamental questions about the meaning of the word "efficacy" are rarely raised."Read the full article here.

Brush of Love - Transforming the lives of children through their surroundingAs seen on HGTV & Extreme Makeover - Home Edition Brush of Love's goal is to show how the impact of color and other various sensory elements can have a significant effect on the emotional stability of children, particularly to parents with children diagnosed on the autism spectrum or with other special needs. They provide a unique service

that is primarily targeted towards those families. The mission is to transform the lives of children diagnosed with autism or other special needs through their environment.Your child will learn a new way to connect to his or her emotional reactions/responses through art, music, textures and colors. They will learn to use various forms of art to express themselves in a way that transcends verbal communication. S. Henry, color expert, designer, and founder of With a Brush of Love leads this unique and innovative experience.Brush of Love is happy to announce art classes in Sherman Oaks, CA. The classes will be held on Wednesdays at the Art Rebel Studios (Oak Ridge Plaza, 2nd Floor, Sherman Oaks, CA 91423).

Callous Disregard: Autism and Vaccines: The Truth Behind a TragedyDr. Wakefield's newest book, with a foreword by McCarthy

In the pursuit of possible links between childhood vaccines, intestinal inflammation, and neurologic injury in children, Dr. Wakefield lost his job in London's Royal Free Hospital, his country of birth, his career, and his medical license. In Callous Disregard, Dr. Wakefield sets the record straight about his much maligned paper in the Lancet, dispels many of the myths about

his work that are now parroted dogmatically by the mainstream medical community and the press, and describes his view of the efforts to discredit his work. Whatever you have heard or read about Wakefield, you probably do not know the full story. Here, finally, in Callous Disregard is that story for all to read.

To pre-order Dr. Wakefields book, click here.Also, please join Dr. Wakefield for a book signing of Callous Disregard at AutismOne on Saturday May, 29th at the Generation Rescue Lounge. The book signing will take place after the conclusion of McCarthy's keynote speech (which starts at 11:30 AM)

"Shame on PBS Frontline, 'The Vaccine War'"Jay Gordon, MD FAAP speaks out in response to the documentary aired on April 27, 2010"Last night, PBS aired a show called 'The Vaccine War.' I was interviewed at great length and in great depth about vaccines and my point of view and expressed my ambivalence about the

polarization of this issue and the need for more calm reasoned discussion about the number one question that new parents have. I told Kate McMahon, the co-producer of the show, that there was a large group of doctors and others who cannot be dismissed with the facile label 'anti-vaccine' because we still give vaccines and see a place for them in the practice of medicine, but we do not agree with the current vaccine schedule nor the number of vaccines children receive all at one time.A few days ago, Ms. McMahon emailed me to tell me that the decision had been made to omit my interview from the show. There would not be one word from me. She didn't tell me that she had also omitted 100% of Dr. Sears' interview. And that any other comments from physicians supporting the parents on the show in their ambivalence about vaccines or their decision to refuse all vaccines would also be omitted.Below is my email response to Kate

McMahon."To read the article in full, click here.
