Precocious Puberty | Ahead of your time

Precocious is an adjective people have used to describe me ever since I can remember. I didn’t wear cool adult clothes like Manny on “Modern Family.” I didn’t star in a major movie before I was 10 years old like Dakota Fanning. Still, I had to be pretty mature for my age to outsmart [...]

Organophosphates | Poison Towards Greener Pastures?

“One thousand weeds in the lawn, one thousand nasty weeds. Take one out, pass it about, 999 weeds in the lawn.”

Brain-eating amoebic | Bad Boy Ameobas

However, if reincarnation does exist, in my past lives, I’d like to have been Cary Grant, and before that Abe Lincoln, and before [...]

Hepatitis C | Should you be screened like Pamela Anderson?

Pamela Anderson is one of the biggest blond bombshells in the history of Hollywood. I have never watched an episode of Baywatch, but I still know her famous look in the red swimsuit while carrying that funny little floating device that looks like a huge suppository.
In 2002, she announced to [...]
