And because he pled guilty to a misdemeanor count of harassment he served no jail time and got to keep his medical license. However, that story garnered so much attention that now a petition calling for his license to be revoked, is getting national attention. “At last check, nearly 30,000 people had signed...

An inquest in Newcastle has found that father-of-three, 69-year-old Stephen Pettitt only had a 1-2% chance of dying had he had conventional, open heart surgery to repair or replace his leaking valve.

There are about 8,700 lawsuits pending against Monsanto, by people who allege that exposure to Roundup weedkiller is responsible for their cancer. Most of the people behind these lawsuits have stories not unlike the one told by Dewayne Johnson, during his landmark jury trial which resulted in a unanimous decision against Monsanto. RELATED STORY: Monsanto-Bayer merger hurts farmers and consumers Like Johnson, many of these people have non-Hodgkin lymphoma—or they have family members who have already died from the disease.
