The Centeno-Schultz Clinic in Colorado (www.centenoschultz.com) has come up with a procedure wherein they treat patients’ severe joint pain with a non-surgical injection of the patients’ own stem cells into the affected area.

Picture yourself as an author, producing an article for a magazine or even a book for publication. In order to make your point or get the particulars of a scene across, you make use of prose from a literary work literally decades old, a work that’s firmly in the public domain. You send the article [...]

The Federal Government has no authority to force you to buy something, specifically health insurance with qualities that they think you should buy. The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday ruled that the health care reform law’s requirement that nearly all Americans buy insurance is unconstitutional, a striking blow to the legislation. The suit [...]

Dr. Milton Wolf writes in the Washington times: Selective enforcement of the law is the first sign of tyranny. A government empowered to determine arbitrarily who may operate outside the rule of law invariably embraces favoritism as friends, allies and those with the best-funded lobbyists are rewarded. Favoritism inevitably leads to corruption, and corruption invites [...]

“Those who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety,” said Benjamin Franklin in an oft-quoted comment.

McQ uses the term “irony” to describe it. I think “hypocrisy” is more accurate. Speaking to a post by Matt Yglesias wherein the vaunted liberal says, basically, ‘of course liberals are unhappy with the proposal because there were no liberals involved in its creation’ McQ wonders where Yglesias’ perspective was during the Obamacare so-called “debate.” [...]

But… but… but…. Obamacare means insurance costs will go down! Bend the cost curve down! Right? RIGHT?!? Apparently… wrong. AARP’s endorsement helped secure passage of President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul. Now the seniors’ lobby is telling its employees their insurance costs will rise partly as a result of the law. In an e-mail to [...]

With a headline like, “Parents Sue Catholic School for Denying Admission to Their Unvaccinated Son” you just have to click that link and read what’s up. Interestingly, the headline pretty well sums up the story: A New York couple is suing a Catholic high school for refusing to grant a religious exemption that would allow [...]

From Ed Morrissey at Hot Air: Rarely have we heard a Cabinet official tell Americans to stay out of political debates at the risk of losing their businesses. It points out the danger in having government run industries and holding a position where politicians can actually destroy a business out of spite. It also demonstrates [...]
