Another post in my world famous collection of Electronic Sticky Note Posts. For those new to the blog I post links to other food blogs with recipes that I want to try making. I have a head of green cabbage in the fridge. While wasting time online I found this: 20 Healthful Cabbage Dinners and […]
The study found that eating fast food is associated with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, a potentially life-threatening condition in which fat builds up in the liver.

A year ago this week, I made a stir with my post about five common weight loss myths. Today I had a patient conversation I have had so many times before: Someone was trying to eat healthier and lose weight at the same time. They are not necessarily the same thing. Don’t Eat More of Anything […]
Once again here’s the chart attributed to the New England Journal of Medicine from my first Holiday post Trouble in Paradise (it’s Weight Gain Season). Personally I had the best Traditional Weight Gain Season ever. I didn’t gain any weight. I just hope this isn’t sarcopenia.
So, after those three months can we be reinfected, or will the phenomenon of recrudescence take place?
The best answer at this point is we don’t know. But if look at the spectrum of infectious diseases the answer is probably yes.
So I’m wondering what will this mean regarding a vaccine? Will it be like influenza, and a vaccine one has to get annually? Or will it be more like HIV, without a vaccine ever?
A vaccine is preferable, like your annual flu shot. But the more we learn about this virus we may end up with drugs along the lines of the anti-virals similar to the ones used for Hepatitis C and HIV. Just my non-medical opinion.
It’s going to be interesting to watch it play out. I so hope they will be able to develop a vaccine. I agree that would be preferable. But it may end up like you said being some thing where some infected people need to take chronic antivirals.
