There is a fairly new form of birth control on the market now – its called Ortho Evra. It's actually a pretty cool idea in theory – its a patch that you just stick on your body and forget about it.

Well, that patch is killing women. Blood clots are a huge problem, and that is just the beginning. Planned Parenthood and the FDA are still backing this form of birth control!!!

There is more information on the web and at www.bewareofthepatch.com

Health… It does the body good.

As I get older, my own health, and frankly, the health of others is becoming more of a personal concern.

For starters, I have Interstitial Cystitis. Sounds nasty, right? Well, I guess it can be. But, fortunately, I have a milder form of it. Most people have no idea what it is, but in a nutshell, its ulcers on your bladder. It is chronic and there is no cure for it. They at this point can only manage the pain. When diagnosed, you are supposed to go on a elimination diet, and hopefully be able to figure out what foods trigger it.

I, on the other hand, have really done nothing. I still smoke, I still drink my coffee, I rarely take my medicine, and I am just a bad bad patient in general. Well, I'll get it one of these days.
