You Don't Want to Know

Stephen provided us with a great update on what some states are doing to provide Homeland Security. Michigan, for example, is spending money to be ready to handle bruises and thirst.

But more importantly, he talked about health in his Cheating Death segment. Funny story. It seems that back in 1998, The Lancet published a study that said Mercury preservatives in common vaccines could cause autism. This seemed to have the effect of causing a decline in the rate of vaccinations of kindergartners against such diseases as chicken pox. Since then, The Lancet has retracted that autism study as fraud.

Some parents have come up with a way that they think is an acceptable alternative. They buy lollipops that have been infected with chicken pox (sick kids lick them) and give them to their own healthy kids to lick. The hope and the plan is that their kids will get chicken pox and won't need a vaccination.

Just in time, Stephen's Prescott Pharmaceuticals is selling Vacsa-yummies. These tasty lollipops have been rubbed on the poles in subway cars, so there's bound to be some germs to satisfy anybody's desire for disease and ill health.

Gut health - enough said.

Stephen talked about Christmas a little bit and then welcomed his guest Jack Abramoff. You may remember him. He was the lobbyist who went to jail. He now has a book out, "Capitol Punishment."
