Article to Check Out

[Guest guest]

I came accross and interesting article that I wanted to share with

everyone.

www.plagiocephaly.info/resources/pdf/Graham_etal2005b.pdf

I found page 3 especially interesting. There is a chart of the average

cephalic index of different cultures at different ages. In India where

the babies sleep in the supine position at 12 months the average CI is

87.7 by age 4 its down to 81.4 to me that would indicate the

brachycephaly self corrects to some degree. What does everyone think.

Makes you want to kill the pharmacists who wrote that list ! See their

names at the bottom of the article. YET it is the OMG Factor that just

might scare the public in demanding education for pharm techs. You

would have thought that Law would have done more than it has. No

such luck with big drug companies supporting the interests of the big

chain pharmacies.

I have seen this list before. It is from 2006 I believe.
