Roger, Over and Out show

This show, in memoriam to my friend Roger, provides an update on marijuana, the safe fun drug of 2015 and contrasts that with benzodiazepines (Valium, Librium), the safe fun drugs of the 1990s. Here we go again. We also talk about MRI scams, the benefits of sauna bathing, and unplugging the dishwasher for children’s health.

Tip:  Colon cancer screening is accepted by upper-middle-class but not by lower social economic groups, and they are paying a price. Kentucky’s colon cancer death rate among high school grads is twice that of college grads. Get screened this month.

Frequent sauna use reduces mortality

FBI press release on the MRI scam. Dum Ta Dumtum. Dum Ta Dumtum DUM.

Nice NPR review of the dishwashing study. Several problems: they took a snapshot at age 7 rather than following the children for several years, and the effects were much stronger on eczema than other allergic conditions
