In this study, led by first author Keiko Hatano and corresponding author Masashi Kameyama from the Tokyo Metropolitan Institute for Geriatrics and Gerontology in Japan, researchers found that patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) diagnosed in their 80s showed a significantly higher rate of amyloid positivity — an indicator associated with Alzheimer’s…

Last Thursday evening, President Trump announced, through a post on Truth Social , that he is imposing a 100% tariff on imported drugs.

The announcement contained important caveats. The tariffs will be limited to manufacturers of “branded or patented” drugs unless the company “is building a manufacturing plant in America.” In the post, Trump defined “building” as “breaking ground and/or under construction.”

James Van Der Beek, of Dawson’s Creek, revealed he was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer at 47, after already experiencing symptoms. As a physician, I see too often that warning symptoms for colon cancer—like rectal bleeding, changes in stool, weight loss, or abdominal pain—go unrecognized as concerning.

Former FDA commissioner Scott Gottlieb recently warned in The Washington Post that pressure from the East threatens to erode our leadership in drug development.

“As recently as five years ago, American drugmakers had all but shut the door on licensing new medicines from China. By…

At a Senate hearing on Sept. 9, 2025, on the corruption of science, witnesses presented an unpublished study that made a big assertion.

They claimed that the study, soon to be featured in a highly publicized film called “An Inconvenient Study,” expected out in early October 2025, provides landmark evidence that vaccines raise the risk of chronic diseases in childhood.

The study was conducted in 2020 by researchers at Henry Ford Health, a health care network in Detroit and…

Pasteurization completely inactivates the H5N1 bird flu virus in milk — even if viral proteins linger.

Drinking properly pasteurized milk contaminated with avian influenza remnants won’t increase vulnerability to the infection, researchers report in September 26 in Science Advances. Heat treatment completely neutralized the highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 virus while leaving some viral genomic material intact. Those remnants didn’t make mice sick when they…
