05/27/09 - Make sure fingerprints exist before traveling the globe -- Most people give their fingerprints little thought, simply assuming they're at the tips of their hands where they belong. And if they're undergoing treatment for head and neck cancer, like a recent traveler to the United States, they have considerably more important things to worry about anyway. But that fingerprint assumption can make for a travel nightmare. A cancer patient from Singapore who was attempting to visit relatives in the United States was held up for four hours in customs because officials couldn't detect his fingerprints.

05/20/09 - The Quackery of Chemotherapy, Gunpoint Medicine and the Disturbing Fate of 13-Year-Old Daniel Hauser -- Wednesday, May 20, 2009 by: Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews -- (NaturalNews) You see it in newspapers and websites across the 'net: People insisting that 13-year-old Daniel Hauser must be injected with chemotherapy in order to "save his life," and that anyone refusing to go along with that is a criminal deserving of arrest and imprisonment.
