No Medical Explanation for ?Crawling Skin? Disease
2012-02-06 06:19:00 The symptoms of the bizarre illness known as Morgellons are enough to make your skin crawl. For patients who say they are suffering from the condition, that sensation is all too real. Sufferers report feeling that bugs are crawling all over their skin or just under it. They have fatigue and painful sores. They also say that they?ve pulled ?fibers? and other solid materials like ?specks, granules, dots, worms, sand, eggs, fuzz balls and larvae? through their skin, leaving lesions, according to new research by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The new study - a $600,000 project launched in 2008 in response to a massive swell of interest and inquiries about the condition from lawmakers and patients - sought to determine how common Morgellons is. Perhaps more importantly for sufferers, the study also looked for a medical cause. The result: there is none.

Ronald wants to be a medical doctor
2011-11-06 16:05:00 Uganda through the eyes of a childRonald is a 16-year child from the Lunganga Primary School in the Bududa district of Eastern Uganda. His teachers describe him as a smart young man who particularly enjoys Mathematics and science subjects. His ambition is to one day become a medical doctor, and work to help improve the health system in his immediate area.

Illinois Going to Pot? GOP Leader Now Supporting Medical Marijuana Bill
2011-04-20 16:32:00 -By Warner Todd Huston The Illinois Family Institute is a bit worried over the about face that House GOP Leader Tom Cross has made on HB 30, a bill that includes legalizing medical marijuana sales in Illinois.
