Whipple’s Disease

Written by Jay on March 9, 2010 – -

Whipple’s Disease – It looks like people are searching for Whipple’s Disease because if you happen to watch the show House last night then you’d be interested to see if it’s a real disease or if they just made it up for the show. Well, it is in fact a real disease. I looked it up!

Based on the show, Whipple’s Disease was kind of explained as the body not getting the vitamins it needs and it, um, “poops” out. House was explaining it like if your poop is hard then you’re good, if it’s not then you’re not really good. So, I decided to look it up…

According to Wikipedia, Whipple’s disease is a “rare, systemic infectious disease caused by the bacterium Tropheryma whipplei.”

It seems as though most of the people affected by this is men and this disease can be treated. Though, if not treated it can be deadly. And yes, the show was right about that one too!

I don’t know about you guys but you can actually learn a thing or two from television! Who says not to believe everything you watch on TV, huh?

Kevin Pearce Injury Update – A lot of you guys have been curious on how Kevin Pearce is doing especially since his serious injury that left him knocked out of the Winter Olympics.

Kevin Pearce, a US snowboarder who was injured snowboarding trying to execute a trick called the double-cork before misfortune hit him in a terrible way. He ended up hitting his head on the rim of the half-pipe upon landing and doctors said that if it weren’t for his helmet, he would not have survived.

Of course, he has done this trick and succeeded tons of times before.

Joran Van Der Sloot Confession

Written by Jay on February 23, 2010 – -

Joran Van Der Sloot Confession – It looks like Joran Van Der Sloot Confession has been quite a shock to a lot of people because he recently confessed to the murder of Natalee Holloway. The event actually took place back in May of 2005 in Marshland during a senior trip. Joran who was a Mountain Brook high school student at the time was accused when Natalee Holloway disappeared that day.

Well, in confessions are becoming more unbelievable especially the fact that his stories are all mixed up. According to one confession, he mentioned that he dumped Holloway’s body in the sea but in another confession he said she died accidentally and he did not kill her.

Based on what I read from experts, they are saying that he is mixing lies with fantasy at this point. So, it’s going to be interesting what this next confession will be about.

More to come… stay tuned…
