The body’s immune system releases chemicals into the blood to fight infections but sometimes those chemicals can cause inflammation, which can lead to blood c...

If you ever wanted to know anything about the Jimmy Cournoyer case, an article in the New York Times titled, “The Rise and Fall of the Biggest Pot Dealer in New York City History,” which ran on September 5, 2014, is thorough and fascinating. Brought about in the news again because of the 27 year prison sentence Cournoyer recently received, the author, Alan Feuer, must have spent an immense amount of time collecting the information.
