The Christian Post has published my feature on PANDAS – Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorder Associated with Streptococci.
There are some great quotes from Susan Swedo, MD, who is often credited with discovering the relationship between psychiatric symptoms and strep throat. I don’t say much about it but I also report some new research regarding the mechanism of action for the strep antibodies in the brain. Crosswalk.com will put it up next week.

Report from the Uganda conference on homosexuality: Open forum
Frank Mugisha is the chairperson of a gay advocacy group in Uganda called Sexual Minorities Uganda (SMUG). An unnamed person from his group attended all of the meetings in Kampala and filed this report. Obviously, I cannot vouch for the accuracy of it and I think it should be considered one person’s impressions of the event. There are some issues raised in it however, which I am exploring and will probably post about in the future. For now, I am just going to post a link to the report and open the floor for comments.
