AMA Weighs In On Morning After Pill
Thu, 23 Jun 2005 16:04:00 -0000
CHICAGO (Reuters) - The largest U.S. physicians group on Monday objected to some pharmacists' conscience-driven refusal to sell the morning-after pill, and suggested doctors may fill the void by dispensing medications themselves. Any pharmacist who objects on the basis of conscience to filling any prescription must make an "immediate referral to an appropriate alternative dispensing pharmacy without interference," the resolution passed by delegates to the American Medical Association's annual convention said. Some pharmacists have filed lawsuits objecting to requirements that they fill all prescriptions. Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich issued such a directive earlier this year specifically about the morning-after pill, called Plan B. Quote Health News Article | Reuters.co.uk

Science and Supplement News: Grapefruit Seed Extract May Heal UlcersNew research from Poland suggests that grapefruit seed extract may shrink and heal stomach ulcers. Although the studies have been performed only in rats, the findings were reported to physicians who treat ulcers and other stomach disorders during the 2005 Digestive Disease Week conference held in Chicago, Ill. The investigators found that treating the rat ulcers with grapefruit seed extract supplements led to a drop in gastric acid, which at higher levels contributes to ulcer formation by irritating stomach tissue. In addition, the ulcers shrank and blood flow to the sites of ulcers increased, a change that may promote healing. The animals were treated with doses of 10 milligrams per kilogram; their ulcers were completely healed after 16 days of treatment. Grapefruit seed extract has both antibacterial and antioxidant properties that may be responsible for the effects seen in the Polish study.
