Savage Love
Throughout my life I've been conditioned to believe that sadomasochism is an unnatural act performed only by sexual deviants, and my reaction to it has admittedly been one of discomfort and perhaps, a little disgust. Kirby Dick's controversial 1997 documentary Sick: The Life and Death of Bob Flanagan, Supermasochist changed all that.

Botanicals May Contain Acid That Causes Kidney Damage, Cancer
Aristolochic acid—a plant derivative commonly used in “traditional medicines” and botanical products—has been linked to kidney damage and various cancers, particularly those found in the urinary tract. Thus, after an FDA investigation revealed the presence of the acid in 18 products being sold in the United States, the agency has renewed warnings to consumers to avoid the dangerous ingredient.

Long-term Detrimental Effects of Cancer Treatments
The traditional cancer therapies of radiation, chemotherapy and surgery can have permanent adverse effects on the patient. The scientific community is now aware of these problems, and has published a large body of studies on the subject. An ongoing study of cancer survivors seeks to establish programs for the prevention and early detection of long-term effects of cancer treatments.

Is PGD as easy ABC or 1-2-3?
Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) is a technique being used more frequently in in-vitro-fertilization (IVF) procedures. This may be due to changes in molecular medicine technology as well as an increase in advanced maternal age pregnancies. Brief description of PGD and how it is used.
