What Is This Thing Called Dying?

Prof. Keith Scott-Mumby

As we move further and further through the Third Age, this is a natural question. Maybe many people would rather ignore it and hope it goes away. But it doesn’t: the question lingers and threatens to invade more and more of the mind as the years go by. I have prepared a book, almost ready […] The post What Is This Thing Called Dying? appeared first on Dr. Keith Scott-Mumby.

Thoughts About Dying at A Time Of Death and Bereavement

Keith Scott-Mumby

Let me say, right off, this newsletter title did not start out with thoughts of COVID, cancer, heart disease, brain tumors—or the great and famous dying (stupidly) of drug overdoses. It actually began with the death of Prince Philip. You know that, despite now being an American, I am very fond of my British heritage […] The post Thoughts About Dying at A Time Of Death and Bereavement appeared first on Dr. Keith Scott-Mumby.

Help Me Get The Word Out – TWICE!

Keith Scott-Mumby

Just a note about a recent newsletter, in which I called attention to the link between milk and cancer. The association is very real. Whereas it does not PROVE causation, it has to make anyone but a fool thinks carefully about the connection. Now, almost by serendipity, a new study came across my desk only […] The post Help Me Get The Word Out – TWICE! appeared first on Dr. Keith Scott-Mumby.

Dirty Blood

ProfKeith

No, I don’t mean tribal warfare or family disputes. I mean blood for transfusions that are filthy. Disease-ridden! It’s something the US specializes in: getting blood from students, tramps and druggies for a few dollars and then selling it to the rest of the world at a huge profit, on the understanding it’s a quality-controlled […] The post Dirty Blood appeared first on Dr. Keith Scott-Mumby.

Just How Deadly Is Mercury? Make Up Your Own Mind After Reading This Appalling Story.

ProfKeith

Karen Wetterhahn (KW) was a chemistry professor who researched toxic metal exposure. She had an influential career at a prestigious . institution and there were few- maybe none- in the world who knew mercury toxicity better than her. And yet… She accidentally spilled 2 drops of dimethyl mercury on her gloved hand… and subsequently died […] The post Just How Deadly Is Mercury?

What Happens When We Die?

Keith Scott-Mumby

If there is light within the darkness of dying, it’s in the experience, not in the observing. ~Dr. Christopher Kerr, Hospice Buffalo, NY. I’m one of the few internationally-known medical writers who occasionally writes about death and dying. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross is exceptional. Others seem to avoid it, as a sort of denial (“Just do as […] The post What Happens When We Die? appeared first on Dr. Keith Scott-Mumby.

When Courage Is A Health Issue

Keith Scott-Mumby

Most of you know, I think, that Vivien and I had a Christmas with family in England (first time in 17 years!) In the heartland of beautiful Cumbria, the British “Lake District”, where I lived before moving to the USA, I was very surprised to find they had, at long last recovered the body of […] The post When Courage Is A Health Issue appeared first on Dr. Keith Scott-Mumby.

Harvesting Patients For Donor Organs

Keith Scott-Mumby

“Brain-death determination requires an arbitrary decision on when someone is dead enough. There will never be zero activity in the brain (at brain death).” I’m sure some of my subscribers snicker a little at my idiocy when I say we are not a brain. We don’t even need a brain to be conscious and aware. We just […] The post Harvesting Patients For Donor Organs appeared first on Dr. Keith Scott-Mumby.

Burn Boomers For Energy?

Keith Scott-Mumby

This sort of appeals: the idea that I might be useful after I’m dead! I am hot stuff when I am alive, so why not? The city of Durham in England is installing a special crematorium, designed to burn corpses to generate electricity. Apparently, we can get as much 150 kilowatt-hours of juice from a […]
