THIS IS HUGE! Researchers have just identified a powerful new antibiotic that is 100x STRONGER than existing drugs against deadly superbugs like MRSA and VRE. Hiding in a well-known soil bacterium, pre-methylenomycin C lactone KILLS drug-resistant bacteria WITHOUT triggering resistance.

I ran into a gynecologist in Florida one time at a bar. Asked him what he thought of NFP. I quote: “it’s like playing with a loaded gun.”

I was born in 1952, and I can't figure out why women (conservatives & Catholics included) uniformly embraced "the pill" when it came out, when they already had "the rhythm method." 🙄🙄🙄

Hard to believe these were shown in the late 90's--obviously A LOT of people learned absolutely nothing since then. Consumerism is rampant, people are even more unhappy now than then. We need to quit supporting corporate America, they are taking advantage of us.

Bought a beautiful American wagyu flat iron steak at Costco last Thursday, so a piece is going on the grill tonight. One of my favorite rubs for grilled beef is the California rub recipe I got from the NYT cookbook years ago. Thought I'd share with anyone interested. 🍽️

🧪Iowa has the lowest number of OB-GYNs per capita.
Because of draconian abortion bans, fewer medical students are applying to residency programs.

Iowa doesn't have enough OB-GYNs. Is the state's abortion ban part of the problem?
Iowa ranks last among states for the number of OB-GYNS per capita. State legislators are trying to recruit more, but some doctors say the state's strict abortion ban is partially to blame.
