The efforts to force all American girls to receive a new, unnecessary vaccine with unknown long-term side effects seem to have lost much of their momentum for now. Merck has dropped its campaign to convince states to mandate the vaccine for sixth-grade girls before they can enter school, and strong public resistance has appeared in many states. This curious episode in the history of American public health is likely to be repeated many times over the next decade or two as the health profession grapples with the ever-rising rates of sexually transmitted disease in this country....[more]

The Backlash of Immorality

Recently, health officials have discovered a new strain of AIDS/HIV that kills in less than 6 months. Once the news hit the mainstream press, many wonder to which American sector of people this unrelenting disease has struck; is it gay, white males or is it a "Black thing."

Now before we go any further, let me ask you this: how in the heck is a prescription drug going to fix a physical problem like back pain?........[more]

The Health in Health and Prosperity

We often here people wish others "health and prosperity" and many people assume that with one comes the other. Preachers and practicing Christians proclaim the scripture from the Bible that encourages followers to "be prosperous and in good health," and many people grasp the prosperity part but ignore the health part. As a result, America is the most prosperous country in the world and yet the most unhealthy. This enormous gap between the two trickles down throughout the social-economic structure of the country and reveals an even more interesting fact........[more]

Chronic Diseases Affect Minorities Disproportionately

Chronic diseases disproportionately affect minorities and low-income communities. While many factors, such as economic, social, environmental, and genetic aspects, contribute to health disparities, we aren’t doing enough to fully understand the connections between the environment and disease.

African Americans
In general, African Americans have more undetected diseases, higher rates of disease and illness, more chronic conditions, and shorter life expectancies than white Americans.

Asthma
African American children are five times more likely to die from asthma than white American children. African Americans have the highest asthma attack rates of all ethnic groups and are three times more likely than whites to be hospitalized for asthma.

Cancer
Next to heart disease, cancer is the leading cause of death among African Americans. Blacks are more likely to get cancer and to die from the disease than other racial and ethnic groups. Compared to white men, black men are 1.5 times more likely to develop prostate cancer and two to three times more likely to die of the disease.

Diabetes
The prevalence of diabetes is 70% higher among African Americans as compared to white Americans.

Lead Poisoning
Black children are five times more likely than white children to have lead poisoning. Low-level exposures to lead are associated with lowered IQ, learning disabilities, and behavioral problems. One in seven black children living in older housing has elevated blood-lead levels.

Lupus
Lupus affects black women three times more than white women. Black women with lupus are more likely to have kidney problems than white women with lupus. The death rate among black women with lupus rose by 70 percent from 1979 to 1998.

Sarcoidosis
African Americans are 8 times more likely than white Americans to be struck by sarcoidosis, a chronic disease that interferes with the functioning of vital organs, especially the lungs. The death rate from sarcoidosis is 15-17 times higher for African Americans than for whites.

Hereditary Diseases

Having knowledge about the truth of matters could help a person live a more positive life. Many people live in fear of hereditary diseases believed to migrate from generation to generation, which causes unnecessary attention to be focused on medical treatment and changes in lifestyle for fear of contracting a supposed family disease.
