For evidence that overuse of antibiotics and other drugs is causing more health problems than they cure, one need look no further than Norway.~ Antibiotics and MRSA That country embarked on a campaign 25 years ago to eradicate MRSA (antibiotic resistant staph infection) which has proven remarkably successful. A key component of that campaign:…
Megan Phelps-Roper, a member of the infamous Westboro Baptist Church, sings this parody of Lady Gaga’s “Poker Face”. I’m not a fan nor follower of the lady, but have heard this song of course, and Phelps-Roper’s parody is a riot! Click here to follow along with the lyrics. Link no longer works. Anyone know…
YIKES! I think and hope that I may have just redirected my blog from wordpress.com to my own domain. If successful, this move will not affect any regular readers, but you should note the new URL, update your browsers’ favorites, bookmarks, or whatever you call them. Secondly, hit one of the “subscribe” buttons in…
I started this blog one year ago today. What a difference a year can make. After several years of self-imposed isolation–mostly due to the effects caused by being over-drugged by allopathic doctors–I started re-emerging as a participant in the world around me. Blogging was a part of that. I started blogging mostly for myself,…
Michael sent me to the store this morning to get some bread for breakfast. When I got home, he noticed that I’d only gotten a half loaf. We’d paid for a loaf of bread. He expected to receive a loaf of bread. In response to his puzzled look, I could only shrug and say…
I’m on a roll this month with AIDS research reports that intrigue me, particularly because so many of them raise more questions than they answer. I’m not sure if there is a Holiday uptick in these reports, or if the cold weather just means I have more time on my hands to sit…
A review of this week’s list of research into current treatments for so-called HIV infection shows how patients seeking care in their doctor’s office can end up being on a long list of pharmaceutical drugs, mostly to treat the effects of ARVs (antiretroviral drugs). There is a push to get more and more people…
Keep reading to find out why I just could not resist the headline. But first, there is a little discussion about AIDS vaccine research I need to get out of the way. I did a double take when I saw this report promising “further progress” in the search for an AIDS vaccine. Don’t worry,…
Have I got a great investment opportunity for one of those AIDS apologists–someone who believes that any person testing positive for HIV antibodies will inevitably get AIDS and die in short order if they don’t take the drugs. I have a life insurance policy that I can no longer afford to keep, and I’ve…

While much of the information on this site is no longer current, it represents almost a decade of my life. It was a period of considerable reflection and writing was my therapy.
I have moved on from that era and am now moving into what will undoubtedly be the last chapter of my life. My love for writing and telling stories-mine, as well as those of others-goes with me. Join me, if you will, at jondbarnett.com for the adventure.
