(BPT) - For years before her diagnosis, Nicole thought her daily routine was normal. Habits like sleeping for 18 hours a day, missing school and struggling to maintain friendships just seemed like hallmarks of an “angsty” personality, as many in her life had labeled her. “It wasn’t until my mom became worried about me and started taking me to doctors and psychiatrists that I began to realize I wasn’t actually totally fine,” she said.
After seeking help, Nicole learned that for years, she was actually fighting an invisible illness – a type of depression called major depressive disorder (MDD). Impacting nearly 17 million adults in the U.S., MDD is a serious, biologically based disease that has a major impact on the way people think, feel, and act.

In patients with peanut allergy (ages 4 through 17) who continued daily treatment with PALFORZIA for up to 3.5 years reported adverse events were mostly mild, occurred early on in treatment, and declined over the course of treatment. With longer-term treatment, systemic allergic reactions and epinephrine use were rare and continued to decrease with treatment.

In December, the Supreme Court reversed a lower court ruling that had allowed abortion medications to be sent by mail. Since then, women looking to terminate a pregnancy with the combination medications packet containing mifepristone and misoprostol now must go, in person, to a medical provider.
But this in-person requirement is not necessary in many states and Washington, D.C. Since March 2016, a study has been underway to follow participants who have used the drugs and to assess the drugs’ safety and tolerability. The trial’s sponsor is Gynuity Health Projects; the trial’s listed completion date on clinicaltrials.gov is June 2022. The participating states are listed here.
https://www.afinalwarning.com/497993.html (Natural News) To make getting an abortion in America even easier, House Democrats are badgering the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to lift safety restrictions on a baby-murdering pharmaceutical known as mifepristone (Mifeprex).
Democrats on the House Oversight Committee want the FDA to allow pregnant women who wish to murder their unborn children to have mifepristone delivered right to their homes. Under normal circumstances, mifepristone must be picked up in person at a pharmacy.
This in-person requirement is meant to protect women who might suffer a life-threatening reaction from taking it at home rather than at the pharmacy where medical workers are available to assist them on-demand.
