Latest Video on Qnexa
The newest diet pill considered by FDA

Qnexa is a new drug combination that includes Phentermine and Topamax. Both are commercially available and some doctors in California actively prescribe them for weight loss. The new drug combination Qnexa got a favorable review by the initial FDA panel in February.

The results are promising. See the video for details.

Darwin Debate Updated with April Journal

Many of you read the Original article by Dr. Kuhn called "Dissecting Darwinism" that was published in January. This is the first peer-reviewed article in a medical journal that critiques some of the aspects of Darwinism related to the Origin of DNA, the origin of the cell, and Irreducible complexity.

LINK to Dr Kuhn's Darwin Article

That article generated considerable debate and angst.

The emotional comments about the article and Dr. Kuhn's response to those comments are included here for those interested in this remarkable topic.

Did we come from a pool of chemicals? Probably not.
