      Meningitis Vaccine Now Recommended for 9 Month Old Babies

      September 17, 2011 /

      Meningitis vaccines are now being given to 9 month old babies.

      This raises the number of inoculations to over 20 before baby’s first birthday.

      For parents concerned about the effect of inoculations this comes as just more bad news.

      What has been occurring is a surge among the very young with vaccine injury related deaths, as in SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome), various forms of paralysis, disabling seizures, autism spectrum behavior often with extreme bowel disorders, ADHD, asthma, and food allergies. The kids are worse off now than before.

      Most of these alarming events have occurred shortly after vaccinations, especially after a barrage of multiple shots in one day, or within the same time frame as a scheduled series.

      While there has been no direct link acknowledged by the medical community between childhood vaccines and SIDS, Autism, Seizures or mental defect it has also not been disproven to the satisfaction of many parents.

      Testosterone Drops in New Fathers

      September 17, 2011 /

      It seems that women aren’t the only ones affected by hormone fluctuations during child birth. Fatherhood, it seems, also comes with physiological changes.

      A new study reveals that testosterone levels drop when men become fathers.

      The study, experts say, suggests that men’s bodies evolved hormonal systems that helped them commit to their families once children were born. It also suggests that men’s behavior can affect hormonal signals their bodies send, not just that hormones influence behavior. And, experts say, it underscores that mothers were meant to have child care help.

      September 15, 2011 /

      Your heart health may be the biggest predictor of your sex life.

      Nearly 1 in 5 men in the U.S. has difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection, a condition known as erectile dysfunction (ED). The new study, which appears this week in the Archives of Internal Medicine, suggests that ED drugs such as Viagra aren’t the only solution and aren’t always enough to address the problem, says coauthor Dr. Stephen Kopecky, M.D., a cardiologist at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.

      Laughter Really is the Best Medicine

      September 15, 2011 /

      Scientists are confirming what many of us already know.

      But why it works is the big question.

      What is the physiology of laughter?

      The answer, reports Robin Dunbar, an evolutionary psychologist at Oxford, is not the intellectual pleasure of cerebral humor, but the physical act of laughing. The simple muscular exertions involved in producing the familiar ha, ha, ha, he said, trigger an increase in endorphins, the brain chemicals known for their feel-good effect.

      Read on to find out why laughing makes us feel good.

      Jealousy is Different for Men and Women

      September 14, 2011 /

      Jealousy rears it’s ugly head from time to time with all of us but men and women feel the sting in different ways.

      “Relative to women, men are more distressed by sexual infidelity, and women are more upset over emotional infidelity, relative to men,” says study author Barry X. Kuhle, an assistant professor of psychology at the University of Scranton in Scranton, Penn.
