Travelers and Infectious Diseases: Traveling Outside the U.S.
People who travel outside of the United States, regardless if this is the first or an additional time, should consult with a qualified traveler's clinic before departing the country. There is still an important concern for the advent of infectious diseases, such as diphtheria, typhoid, hepatitis, and traveler's diarrhea, to name just a few. This article summarizes some of the most virulent forms of the diseases as well as what one should do before leaving the United States. Those who are living abroad, i.e., outside of the U.S., should also take heed and see their own physician before leaving the safety of their own country.

Influenza, or the Flu: Is the Flu Shot Necessary?
The Flu, or otherwise called Influenza, is a viral infection that is typically self-limited infection that has been known to be pandemic. The flu vaccine, which is prepared annually, is used to help combat the infection by giving the body time to manufacture antibodies. However, the flu vaccine, especially now with a shortage, is not necessary for all age groups and it should be administered only to those who really need it. This article helps explain these and other factors. See your clinician.

Lining their pockets: Conflict of Interest?
"No infectious disease specialist will be able to serve on this committee! We all take money from pharmaceutical companies." The reaction of a member of the Illinois Immunization Advisory Committee speaking out against a bill which would prohibit any person who is (or whose spouse is) an officer, employee or agent of, or has any ownership or other financial interest in a pharmaceutical company that manufactures vaccines from serving on the Illinois Immunization Advisory Committee. The bill would also prevent Committee members and/or their spouses from accepting anything of value or any economic benefit from a pharmaceutical company that manufactures or produces vaccines. The bill was vetoed.

Fight Back - Take Control of Your Own Treatment
Today - it is necessary for the patient who suffers the effects of RSD or any Neuropathy of the PNS must take control of their won medical treatment - in order to achiev sucess or even partial success in over coming this disease. It can be done - because some have done it. There are a number of factors - each with its own role that may be employed by the patient - to achieve either a cure or robust remission. Thus - do not lose hope of ever vanquishing this disease - but it will be necessary for you to learn just how to manage the entire set of procedures and treatments before you will be able to take control.
