Happy Summer! The humidity has finally lessened a bit and there's a
slight breeze. Fall is just around the corner... The sweet potato
vine is taking over one end of the deck and the moon beams have
reached the top of the arbor from both sides. The morning glories are
a spectacular morning show of purple and pink. So far, out of 6 colors
only yellow and pink have appeared on the four o' clock's but the
seeds I've shared are producing lilac flowers's. We keep waiting for
lilac and 3 other colors to show up but to no avail. The yellow and
pink are really pretty and producing seed already, which, I'm
gathering and keeping seperated.

J. Murdoch Ritchie, 83, Yale Biophysicist, Is Dead

Excerpt:
In the early 1970s, Dr. Ritchie, who was known as Murdoch, used
saxitoxin for a nonlethal purpose, in studies of electrical conduction
within nerve cells. It was already known that the nervous system used
shifts in levels of sodium and potassium to transfer electrical
signals and that saxitoxin could be employed to block the movement of
sodium.

Patient and Physician Information about CFIDS/ME

Excerpt:

Anesthesia

Information about anesthesia

Anesthesia has adversely affected patients with CFIDS (also known as
chronic fatigue syndrome and myalgic encephalomyelitis). The reason
for this has been found. Recent research* funded by the National
CFIDS Foundation, Inc. found that a substance, much like ciguatera
toxin, is being produced in the body by a disease process in those
with CFIDS/ME/CFS. Dubbed the "ciguatera epitope," this research
explains the danger of using any anesthesia that uses the sodium
channel at the cellular level. Some anesthesiologists have had
success blocking the sodium channel during anesthesia for CFIDS/ME/CFS
patients.

Amici Curiae Briefs Levine v Wyeth Submitted to the Supreme Court

Excerpt:
The ruling will affect the incentive drug manufacturers will have to
disclose drug safety information--if their disclosure requirements
were to be limited by FDA's imperfect drug safety determinations. If
the ruling favors the preemption argument--namely, deferring all drug
safety determinations to the FDA--physicians' access to drug safety
information will be severely limited--thereby affecting physicians'
ability to determine the risks and benefits of drugs they prescribe.
Hence, the ruling could affect the practice of medicine.
