HOW COME ... NOTHING since AUGUST 2022?

2024-02-19T19:24:00.002-05:00

You might have asked this question? Or you might have simply turned the page. The truth is what some may not want to hear. I had posted an article on Cancer Acceleration with scores of references...on THIS PLATFORM.The Article was unceremoniously removed from my site, without my consent.This is plain and simple...CENSORSHIP.An assault on the FIRST AMENDMENT of Freedom of Free Speech!I

THE CURIOUS CASE OF EXCESS

2022-08-23T12:25:00.000-04:00

The Curious Case of Excess… We live in a world filled with deviations from the standards. There are, however, outlier events within those moments. They catch us by surprise and hurtle us, into confusion, data gathering, conjecture, estimation and ultimately over time, onto the true face of reality. What are these moments? And how are they created? We name our daily occurrences as

Non-COVID Death Epidemic of the Future…

2022-08-07T11:19:00.000-04:00

Non-COVID Death Epidemic of the Future… Published previously at AIER in March 2021 https://www.aier.org/article/non-covid-death-epidemic-of-the-future/Update from August 2022 in progress... Consider the possibility that science is a process of questions and answers. Not all answers are correct and not all questions are valid. Yet all need to be considered and evaluated

HUMAN MURMURATION

2022-01-05T16:32:00.001-05:00

A StarlingStarlings are beautiful birds, yellow beaks, colorful feathers, short tails with a sense of community. They hail from Europe transported by man into America where they are known to bully other birds for their own survival. It doesn’t make them bad or for that matter good. It shows the implanted survival code in their DNA.There is another startling yet awesome phenomena that

500 million Kits n’ all.

2021-12-28T18:23:00.000-05:00

COVID Testing kit 500 million Testing Kits, and still weeks away, but on the way! In this acrimonious world where even a humorous remark is deemed an aggression and slammed by the technological fact-checking wizards with ideological bent in an instant, we the people are being forced to tread softly, lest we awaken the fictitious fire-breathing dragon that snores quietly in its

Autumn and the Falling Leaf

2021-11-07T10:19:00.002-05:00

There is quite a splendor in the falling of a leaf. It is a measure of life. The entropic nature of our existence unfolds at each fall. The trees turn colors from the green of summer to the brown of Autumn. The glorious trick-spray of gold on the canopy of a forest is a treat to behold, as the chlorophyll is decommissioned from its magic of creating life from thin air. There is magic

PRIMUM NON NOCERE – First Do No Harm

2021-08-13T12:45:00.002-04:00

Hippocrates born in 460BC some 2500 years ago was called the “Father of Modern Medicine,” later Sir William Osler was honored with a similar title. Hippocrates may not have used the Latin phrase himself although it is attributed to him, “Primum Non Nocere,” which translated means “First, do no harm.” Osler on the other hand followed the principles of safety in his surgical techniques while at

WHAT HAVE WE DONE?

2021-06-26T13:25:00.000-04:00

What have we done? There was a time for such a discipline as this, called Medical Science. It is fascinating to live and understand most things around us. The fish that transitioned into reptiles and from the T-Rex evolved the beautiful red rose, trading its mottled green for the fiery red color to attract the bees, or the evolved lens of an eye from the blindness of a bat,

SARSCoV2 Vaccines, Risks and Escape Infections:

2021-04-21T09:38:00.000-04:00

SARSCoV2 Vaccines, Risks and Escape Infections: To, look at Vaccine escapes and their potential side effects on individuals, one has to look at the virus and its interaction with the human cell. The SARSCoV2 virus latches onto the human cell, like a bee to a hive. The anchoring point is the ACE2 receptor and the binding site is called Receptor Binding Domain. The ACE2 receptors are

The Rabbit Hole

2021-03-31T15:25:00.000-04:00

The linearity of time is quite the thing. As the thready tail of time grows the loom ahead gets thinner and laxer. The inexorable consolation we all seek from history plays out on some inward screen within, evoking thoughts and invoking ideas.One such day passed and this whole macabre episode in the history of man called the pandemic alighted on my shoulders, a burst of darkness, burdening

Echoes of the Past

2021-02-13T09:05:00.000-05:00

The echoes from the past sometimes bring the cascade of memories tumbling down into the mind’s eye and the play goes on, for a while, lurching us into the sweet confines of the embellished past. The soft cool touch of the winter when a snow blizzard crippled a city and I had to walk a few miles to the hospital as an intern picking up snow from the sidewalk edges and making small snowballs

The Beast in the Lair

2021-02-10T11:45:00.000-05:00

The Beast in the lair of my memory needs to expose its scales and fangs… The technological force that metes out our daily rewards and retributions on the basis of opinion creates a cemetery filled with thoughts and ideas. There are many tombs in this cemetery: some small and incipient and some large and life changing, all imprinted upon a canvas, where a potential beautiful painting

SCIENTISM and NEWSPEAK

2021-01-23T13:40:00.002-05:00

With the ever-widening gyre of despair, some unfortunate souls resort to opioids to minimize their grief or succumb to suicide. While another ever-deepening well of scientism propounds an ever-alarming restriction on the liberties and freedoms of the many creating a chasm between what is and what perhaps is envisioned. This “degrading mass of animated dust” quoting Lord Byron, has descended

COMMUNICATION

2021-01-13T08:49:00.003-05:00

The squeeze and push of information flow are like water through a tube. The limits of throughput are based on the diameter of the tube. Remember the two open cans and a string tied in the middle as a means of communication between friends. It was a thrill of youth to be able to remain in “touch.” Even though the information passed between the two parties was negligible with a high degree of

GODSPEED!

2021-01-03T11:20:00.003-05:00

I have seen the human Spirit. I have seen it soar to heights and drown in despair. I have seen people fight for their lives, past hope, past reason, and past assumed the last syllable of their recorded time and live to tell a tale. And I have seen despair dredge a muddy hole to bury its depressed spirit in ankle-deep waters without a current as it sucks out the last vestiges of hope. I have

RISKS and MITIGATION STRATEGIES

2020-12-09T07:48:00.000-05:00

I am often asked about risks. As an Oncologist, one has to understand the potential risks of how many ways cancer can manifest and the associated management with all its various interactions with the human body. The riddle is a complex one. It oozes with a myriad of signs and symptoms that need a solution. So, Risk management becomes a big part of cancer care. And the

2020 - The Year the Music Died

2020-12-02T09:48:00.006-05:00

The promise of a new decade began in earnest. On December 31st, 2019, the bells were ringing, the crystal ball slowly dropped ready to crown the year in perfect unison to the cheer of the crowd as the countdown pulled it down to its vaunted perch. The glow and excitement, the singing, hollering, crowd infused, and drunk with the hope of a brighter future to come were filled with hope and
