Osteopathic College in Oregon - the Newest Medical School

I am one of very few doctors in the United States who has graduated from, and was a professor in, both M.D. and D.O. Medical Schools.

(MOLALLA, Ore.) - Why the Oregonian newspaper continues to degrade Osteopathic doctors is way beyond my understanding but they did it again July 31, 2011 with New Medical School Offers Alternative Route.

Although the new Osteopathic Medical School uses the name College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific Northwest it is truly Oregon’s NEW Medical School.

Bush Era Medical Marijuana Foe Nominated by Obama to Head DEA

Change.org is urging Americans to contact their senators and tell them they don't want to see Michele Leonhart in charge of an agency that fails to recognize states' rights.

(WASHINGTON D.C.) - The big corporations that fear the rapidly expanding popularity of medical marijuana scored a victory last week, when President Obama quietly announced the nomination of Michele Leonhart to lead the Drug Enforcement Administration.

Over all these years of drug raids on medical dispensaries and patients in the LA area, this Special Agent in Charge of the Los Angeles Field Division was calling the shots.

Marijuana and Male Infertility:
¿Positive Affect on Libido?

I will admit only a slight connection between libido and fertility, but there seems to be a connection.

(MOLALLA, Ore.) - We of Salem-News.com and myself have invited our readers to 'ask Dr. Leveque' questions about medical marijuana.

We received this question about libido and fertility on 5 Feb 2010, with a story about the original findings from UCSF Departments of Bio-Physics and Molecular Biology. Why they were doing research on human reproduction wasn't clear, but I have no arguments against it.

Insulin Homicide VS Insulin Suicide- It`s Almost Impossible

Phillip Leveque has spent his life as a Combat Infantryman, Pharmacologist, Toxicologist and Physician.

(MOLALLA, Ore.) - The recent story of the rich and famous Sunny von Bulow dying after 28 years in an Insulin coma brought back my memories of when I was the Toxicologist for Multnomah County in Portland, Oregon in 1952 while I was a Ph.D. student at the Oregon Medical School. I believe I had the first Insulin homicide in the United States. The sequence of events with Sunny and my case are weirdly similar.

In the von Bulow case it wasn’t stated if Sunny was a diabetic but the record showed that her husband gave her a slight Insulin overdose with short coma the year before. A doctors advice to a diabetic patient is to try to avoid overdose but if it happens eat some sugar right now. This will correct the problem.
