1). HPV and Women : The Silent Killer By :
Copyright 2006 Danna Schneider HPV, or humanpapilloma virus, is much more prevalent than most people think. It is estimated that roughly 80%, or possibly even more of the general female population, has some form of HPV by the time they reach the age of 50.

5). Assassination by Vaccination By : edwin geronimo
Vaccines and immunization shots for school were never my thing from the beginning. In fact, I didn’t know any kids who were cool with needles. We usually went into the clinic kicking and screaming. Not only because it hurt to have a needle stabbed into our arms (or anywhere), but on some deeper level we knew that vaccinations were not healthy. Now that we are older, we are capable of making our own responsible decisions about our health and the health of our families.
