Conclusion
From the Paper
"The pharmaceutical companies have found that Wall Street is still supportive of their stocks. A ?recent front-page article in the Wall Street Journal assailed on $100-million-a-year nutritional supplement company, which is growing at the rate of 20% per year, for having a one-man R&D department while pharmaceutical companies require huge outlays for R&D as well as FDA clinical studies. The WSJ reporter felt it was unfair for nutritional supplement companies to be able to make health claims on their products while drug manufacturers have to undergo extensive studies for the same right."

Trade-mark and Patent Infringement Remedies, 2008.
Compares Canadian law and legal practices regarding trade mark and patent infringement remedies.
2,285 words (approx. 9.1 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 70.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that, while the legal debates over trade-mark and patent infringement remedies are analogous because both involve some infringement of intellectual properties, clear similarities and differences exist between these two areas of litigation. The author points out that a comparison and contrast of the remedies available in cases of trade-mark and patent infringement suggest that they often differ not so much in the general remedies themselves but in the particulars of their implementation. The paper argues that the belief that remedies are to be treated more as an afterthought than an independent area of study is no longer possible or desirable in the contemporary context.

Comparison and Contrast
Reflections
From the Paper
"These Anton Piller orders represent a significant difference between remedies for trade-mark and patent infringement as they reflect how the phenomenon of piracy has developed and evolved in recent years. In such examples, the piracy of intellectual property has no clear analogue in the area of patent infringement. The counterfeiting of products and the deliberate infringement upon trade-marks in order to pass a product off as the work of a previously existing company/organization with a registered trade-mark is a phenomenon of increasing concern today."

Abstract
This paper presents an overview of the various therapies available in Canada to patients suffering from physical ailments. In addition to a medical overview of these therapies, which include prescription drugs, OTC and herbal medications, the paper also discusses legislation governing their disbursement and use.
From the Paper
"OTC medications might be considered 'milder' forms of prescription medications. Many of them have similar effects as prescription medications, such as pain relief, but are generally less powerful and contain less active ingredients than their prescription counterparts. Most consumers are able to purchase over the counter medications at a local grocer or pharmacist, and many use them to self-medicate or treat minor ailments and illnesses."

Natural Health Practices in Veterinary Medicine, 2002.
This paper looks at the use of non-medical alternatives in the treatment of animals.

Abstract
This paper examines the use of health interventions by Veterinarians. The writer draws several parallels between the use of natural health practices in humans and animals. Nutrition therapy includes the use of whole, fresh ingredients, vitamin therapy uses nutritional supplements to help with recovery from illness, herbal remedies such as echinacea and peppermint are used to help restore balance and acupuncture is used to balance energy and relieve pain. According to this writer the key to the use of non-medical alternatives in veterinary medicine is in their correct application, often in conjuntion with traditional medicine.
From the Paper
"Acupuncture is another natural health method that can be applied to veterinary practice. It is the use of needles inserted superficially into the skin to balance energy, and it is often used in cases where a patient is disabled by pain. Used to relieve the symptoms of arthritis in older dogs, acupuncture can greatly increase an animal?s mobility without the potentially harmful side effects of pain relieving medication, such as lethargy, digestive difficulty, and loss of appetite (Zucker, 2000). Another use of acupuncture with animals is in the case of chronic injury; older pets can injure joints if they fall, and acupuncture can relieve this chronic pain and give greater mobility (Pitcairn, 1995)."

Abstract
This paper begins with a medical definition and description of bipolar disorder and then continues with a look at some of the causes of the disorder, such as genetics, cognitive deficits, and environmental conditions. The paper also looks at some of the treatments available to people with bi-polar disorder.
From the Paper
"The disorder is often hereditary and affects both men and women equally. The chances of having the disorder greatly increase if there is one parent that has the disorder although it is hard to predict which generation is susceptible to being diagnosed with it. Diagnosing Bipolar disorder isn?t so simple either, with an estimated ?70% of people with bipolar disorder receive an initial misdiagnosis, often seeing 3 or 4 physicians before the correct disorder is identified?(Singer & Levine, 2003). This situation is dangerous to untreated cases of Bipolar disorder as ?25% to 50% of affected patients attempt suicide at least once? (Singer & Levine, 2003)."

"FOLK REMEDIES IN INDIA
Introduction
Since the 1950s the study of ethnobotany has increased. Ethnobotany is the word used to define the experience of people observing birds and animals, and testing leaves, fruits and tubers for abilities to satisfy hunger or heal wounds. India has elements that contribute to ethnobotanical richness, floristic diversity, ethnic diversity, and rich tradition; it has a variety of climatic and physiographical conditions, cold and arid, warm and human, hot and dry, and wet. India has about 45,000 plant species and medicinal properties have been assigned to several thousand of them. Approximately 2000 are found frequently in the literature and the indigenous systems commonly use 500. Current work involves botany, pharmacognosy, chemistry, pharmacology, and ..."

Natural Remedies, 1999.
Examines the uses and effectiveness of plants to treat bacterial and fungal infections and diseases such as cancer.

From the Paper
"Ethnobotany, the study of how native peoples use plants, is a complex mixture of sociology, anthropology, botany, economics, ecology, and medicine (9). Most modern medicines are derivatives of, or synthetic forms of, chemical compounds found naturally in plants. Twenty-five to 40 percent of prescriptions in the U. S. use compounds which are derived from plants, and the World Health Organization estimates that 80 percent of the earth's population use plants for primary medical care (1,9). Of the more than 250,000 known plant species, only about 5,000 have been examined chemically for medicinal properties. This paper will look at some of the work being done by researchers to prove the effectiveness of natural remedies for bacterial and fungal infections, and on diseases such as cancer.
In the early 16th century, European explorers brought the..."

Modern Dangers of Medicine, 2002.
An opinion paper about the dangers of modern medicine and the need to return to natural remedies.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The writer of this paper argues that modern medicine is in collusion with the pharmaceutical and insurance industries to create a system of profit rather than health. It states that the only effective alternative is to turn back to natural cures, to proper nutrition and diet and a holistic approach to healing.
From the Paper
"Every single week, more people die at the hands of doctors than in the entire World Trade Center disaster. (Smith, 2002) This is neither a new statistic, nor an unexpected one. In 1979 Robert Mendelsohn wrote a controversial best-seller, Confessions of a Medical Heretic, in which he claimed that modern physicians were nothing more or less than the witch doctors of the Church of Medicine. He suggested that modern treatments precluded the creation of modern cures, and that it was capital rather than caring that dominated the medical system. Today his words ring more true than ever. The allopathic approach to medicine has shown itself to be more kill than cure, and a change is desperately needed. Modern allopathic medicine oppresses women and treats childbearing and childhood as a pathology, and in general it takes a terrible toll with unnecessary and even dangerous techniques."

Abstract
The paper examines the relationship of teacher preparedness, teacher beliefs (i.e., philosophy, instructional approaches and curricula) and the availability of remedial reading services on adequate yearly progress (AYP) in reading in New Hampshire public schools. It discusses the history of the No Child Left Behind Act and the definition of 'highly qualified' when it comes to teaching. It then examines the concept of adequate yearly progress and the issue of third-grade readers and phonetic ability.

Remedial Education and Cooperative Learning
From the Paper
"The first way is to ensure that each group member is responsible not for everything that the group does but for a specific and unique part of the group task (Courtney, Courtney, & Nicholson, 1994). The second way is for students to be completely and individually responsible for their own learning (Courtney, Courtney, & Nicholson, 1994). When either one of these things are done, it ensures that each student does an adequate amount of work because he or she must perform a specific task in order to be graded fairly (Courtney, Courtney, & Nicholson, 1994)."
"Students who do not perform this specific task will bring down the grade of the entire group but it is quite likely that the group itself will work with this individual and not allow one person to pull down the grade of others who are working hard to ensure that they learn all that they can and that their grades reflect this new learning (Courtney, Courtney, & Nicholson, 1994). One study that looked at group grades within the higher education spectrum indicated that there were many reasons that these students felt cooperative learning was a good idea (Courtney, Courtney, & Nicholson, 1994)."

Abstract
The paper finds that this testing is important in order to determine the degree to which the money spent on the program has been justified. The writer also looks at the possibility for an expansion of the program. The paper studies the relevant literature on the topic, finding that there is strong support that remedial programs boost the achievement levels of slow learning adults.
From the Paper
"As part of its general mandate, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) provides a broad array of services to the world's 3.3 million Palestine refugees distributed in various host countries including Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, and the occupied territories in Israel (UNRWA 2000). One of these services is education, part of which is focused on providing remedial services to those students characterized by the Agency as "slow learners." Slow learners are conceptualized as students whose mental abilities or IQ is lower than that of their chronological age (D'Silva, 1998)."

Brownfield Remediation, 2006.
An analysis of issues in Brownfield remediation.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the Brownfield redevelopment project in the Greater Toronto area. The paper contends that the considerable interest in Brownfield redevelopment, as seen in the prominence of such projects as the Gooderham and Worts Distillery, the redevelopment of the former Greenwood racetrack in the Beaches, and most recently the Port Lands and the Railway Lands, suggest that Brownfield redevelopment is an idea whose time has come. The paper also points out that this level of redevelopment is only occurring due to market forces as the high cost of real estate in Toronto render the cleanup costs necessary for Brownfield redevelopment acceptable to private developers. The paper then discusses and analyzes many of the issues surrounding the redevelopment of Brownfield.
From the Paper
During the past two decades there has been considerable interest in brownfield redevelopment in the Greater Toronto Area. The prominence of such projects as the Gooderham and Worts Distillery, the redevelopment of the former Greenwood racetrack in the Beaches, and most recently the Port Lands and the Railway Lands appears to suggest that brownfield redevelopment is an idea whose time has come. While this level of redevelopment is undeniable, it must also be acknowledged that, in most cases, this level of redevelopment is only occurring due to market forces as the high cost of real estate in Toronto render the cleanup costs necessary for brownfield redevelopment acceptable to private developers.

Abstract
This proposal tests the effectiveness of remedial center programs of the UNRWA for slow learning Palestinian adults. The proposal notes that such a test is important in order to determine the degree to which the monies spent on the program have been justified and also because it will help UNRWA management decide whether the program should be expanded. The paper includes a review of the relevant literature, an explanation of the research method and concludes that research will have a great deal of practical significance to be used by the top management of the UNRWA education department to help them take appropriate decisions regarding the future of the remedial center.
From the Paper
"It can be noted here that the proposed research will have a great deal of practical significance. In this regard, the findings of this research can be used by the top management of the UNRWA Education Department to help them take appropriate decisions regarding the future of the Remedial Center. For example, collected data will inform as to whether the program is worth the literally millions of dollars that have been spent on it. Further, the findings of the proposed research can help management decide whether the program should be expanded."

Abstract
This paper discusses the altercations between conventional medical practice and alternative medicine. The paper explores the issues that affect the cost of natural remedies, in general, and Boiron's products, in particular. The differences between introducing a homeopathic remedy and a pharmaceutical drug to the market is explained.
Outline
Issues That Affect Cost
Impact of Technology on Cost
Market Structure
Implications for Pricing
Strategies to Preserve or Enhance Sales
Moving into an Optimal Competitive Position
From the Paper
"Among the issues likely to affect the costs of Boiron?s remedies is the double threat from the American Medical Association (AMA) and the public in search of relief from high medical costs. The AMA still does not officially endorse homeopathy, although the U.S. Office of Alternative Medicine estimates that 30 of every 100 M.D.s in the U.S. practice some form of alternative medicine along with their allopathic practice. (Boozang, 1998, unpaged) There may be, as well, lobbying costs to counteract the activities of allopathic physicians, who ?convince legislatures to restrict the scopes of practice of other providers and pressure prosecutors to bring criminal actions against nonphysician providers."

"What determines the won or lost category for those cells in our bodies is what we take in our bodies as food; "Their sole source of energy is the food you give them," Carper continues, and the latest and best research available validates the "long-held human wisdom that food does have medicinal powers."
Indeed, since the emergence of human civilizations, people have relied on "forests, fields and gardens" for our medicines, and roughly 75 percent of the people in the world still do rely on the forests, fields and gardens for their sustenance. Carper alludes to the wisdom of James Duke, a botanist and specialist in medicinal plants with the U.S Department of Agriculture, who believes that "if a food has a wide folklore reputation as a remedy for specific diseases," that in itself provides "some proof" of that food's "potential validity" (Carper, 5).

Herbal Supplements and the FDA, 2005.
Examines the herbal supplement industry in the United States and their regulation by the Food and Drug Administration.
1,489 words (approx. 6.0 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 49.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In the United States, the government and its agencies do not maintain the same regulation of herbal remedies in the same way that they ensure the safety of other foods and medicines. Furthermore, while these products were once the mainstay of only such minute groups as vegetarians and other counterculture types, they have now become widely popular among the general public as the widespread assumptions about their safety and naturalness has permeated contemporary society. The paper argues that, on the other hand, many professionals within the medical community conversely claim that the dietary supplement industry is selling modern day snake oil that has no proven safety or efficiency. In the end, both factions are correct, and in spite of the natural base of herbs and dietary supplements that can make these products appealing even when traditional medicines are not appropriate, these items are also powerful medicinal agents. The paper shows, therefore, that due to the public's lack of ability to make informed decisions surrounding these products, the Food and Drug Administration must be granted the same sovereignty over herbal remedies and vitamins that it maintains over other foods and medicines.
From the Paper
"Still, one reason that some people believe that it is not necessary for the government to become involved in this industry is indeed largely because of the mistaken belief that these agents are safe merely because they are natural. In fact, according to one 1997 poll, more than half of consumers who use natural remedies are convinced that they are equally as safe and effective as traditional treatments like aspirin ( Greenberger 1077). However, since 1994 there have been reports of at least 34 deaths and nearly 900 adverse reactions--including heart-rhythm disturbances, heart attacks and strokes associated with supplements that contain one herbal stimulant that is often taken to boost energy and to lose weight (Josefson 1440)."
