Can you tell if someone is lying if the face is covered with a niqab? It’s a current Canadian question as a law court attempts to decide whether or not a sexual assault complainant may be allowed to wear her niqab in court. Can the “Pinocchio Syndrome” and two former U.S presidents help attorneys decide this issue?
The Tiger And The Camel Should Say “No”By Dr. Gifford Jones Monday, April 12, 2010
How much straw should you agree to carry each day? I’m not referring to work on a farm. But recently the problems of several patients reminded me of the famous story about “The Camel and the Straw”, of the merchant who kept insisting his camel carry another straw. Finally, the last straw broke the camel’s back, and he slumped to the desert sand. The following are ways to prevent the same fate:
Myo-Med Saved My Aching ShoulderBy Dr. Gifford Jones Sunday, December 6, 2009
“Where can I get another tube of Myo-Med?” a tennis friend asked me. I’d given him a sample of this cream when his arthritic knee kept him from playing tennis for several months. Now he was back in the game. So how does this new all-natural, toxin-free analgesic help painful joints? And why is it safer than other over-the-counter painkiller creams?
Why Would I Write About a Lame Racehorse?By Dr. Gifford Jones Sunday, September 13, 2009
How would you like to own a racehorse that won hundreds of thousands of dollars? I’m sure I’d crack open the champagne bottle after each race. But how would you feel when the horse developed arthritis and chip fractures in the knee? Then four veterinarians and two trainers tell you, “This horse could not, and should not, run again”. That’s when I’d start crying in the champagne. But what has a racehorse to do with our aches and pains? In one word, plenty.
The Error That Ended James Bond’s LifeBy Dr. Gifford Jones Sunday, July 12, 2009
Can you prove anything you want by statistics? You bet. But here’s one case where there’s no need to manipulate figures to prove a point. It’s a straight, simple, indisputable fact that women live 5.4 years longer than men. So was the Almighty just unkind to men or is this problem the result of their own stupidity?
Rosacea : An Overlooked Skin Condition
By Dr. Gifford Jones Monday, March 31, 2008
What did former President Bill Clinton have to blush about? We all know the answer to that delicate question! Like Princess Diana, Rosie O’Donnell and the comedian W.C. Fields, he also suffered from Rosacea.
Don’t Let Disease Claim Your Life!By Felicia Benamon Tuesday, December 18, 2007
I am prompted to write this article based on what just happened. I’ve been watching TV lately and have seen how many Americans have been diagnosed with many diseases and are dying of various cancers. I began taking notes in anticipation of doing another article to tell people about the benefits of doing a cleanse.
New “Sahara Desert” Drug Cures Head LiceBy Dr. Gifford Jones Sunday, September 9, 2007
Why am I scratching my head? It’s because I’m writing about head lice and even the thought of having this crawly beast, “Pediculosis capitis”, in my hair triggers this reaction. It also makes me understand the traumatic, emotional and embarrassed reaction of parents (and child) when they’re told, “Sarah (or Johnnie) has head lice”. Now that school has started, over a million parents in this country will hear this news. Fortunately, a new “Sahara Desert” treatment rids families of this common pest.
