Flies in the Ointment by Mark Crislip Pdf

A carefully selected and edited compendium of the best of Dr. Mark Crislip (the Puswhisperer)’s blog posts from sciencebasedmedicine.org. The sections have been edited for redundancy, updated for 2017, and classified into themes. Supplements and Complementary and Alternative Medicine (SCAM) can be classified many ways; generally speaking, alternative remedies are: Possible: mostly botanicals and herbal remedies. There is nothing impossible that a given plant product will affect a given disease, although often the provenance of a given herbal treatment is suspect. Impossible: the rest of CAM. It will be equally impossible to cover every CAM practice, so just a few are treated in depth. The book is classified as follows: What’s the Harm? A general discussion of why SCAM is bad for people, animals, and the environment. Alt-Facts: Why Scientific Thinking is Hard. A discussion of how and why our powers of logic are often powerless against SCAM. Counting to Ten: Statistics for the Rest of Us. A somewhat technical section about statistical errors and fallacies, and why interpreting the literature is difficult even for clinicians. A must-read for lovers of math. Realm of the Possible. A discussion of supplements, including the evolution of my thinking on probiotics. Rectum? Damn Near Killed ‘Em. Probiotics and the Gut Microbiome Herbs and Supplements Eliminate the Impossible. Impossible treatments, their fallacies and risks. Chiropractic Homeopathy Acupuncture Miscellaneous Quack Remedies Vaccines and Flu Woo. The fallacies behind anti-vaccination beliefs, and why you should always get your flu shot.

A Grownup Guide to Effective Crankiness: by Steven Joseph Pdf

The Last Surviving Dinosaur: The TyrantoCrankaTsuris introduced the kid readers to the tiniest, most dangerous dinosaur on the planet: The TyrantoCrankaTsuris. All humans descended from this tiny dinosaur—and this follow-up book for adults examines how “crankiness” is part of our nature. Using good humor throughout, Steven Joseph observes that we typically do not hesitate to pour out our CrankaTsuris all over our spouses, kids, parents, and siblings—and then there can be a CrankaTsuris retaliation. Before you know it, you are in the middle of a CrankaTsuris food fight. We’re all cranky at times, but it’s imperative we find a more effective way to be cranky while still making the world a happier place. In this book, learn how to: • Create space for both yours and your family’s crankiness • Utilize a fun “team” approach to crankiness • Take steps to avoid being too cranky • Improve communication with friends and family • Handle cranky dinosaurs in your life (including children) • Effectively diagnose and treat the “Common CrankaTsuris” When it comes to crankiness, the infection rate in a given room is likely close to 100 percent. When trying to manage that crankiness—as well as your own—the ultimate answer will always be love.
