An elite team of Thai Navy SEALs and foreign rescue divers brought out two more boys from a cave near the Thai-Myanmar border, bringing to 10 the number who have been extracted through a labyrinth of tight passages after spending two weeks trapped in darkness, according to Reuters. The operation on Tuesday was moving more quickly, raising hopes that all 12 boys, their adult soccer coach would make it to the surface by the end of the day. Speaking earlier, acting Chiang Rai Gov. Narongsak Osatanakorn, who is also head of the joint command center, said, "If everything goes right, we will see four kids and a doctor and three Seals that have stayed with the kids will all come ...

Why Retailers Are Installing Blue Lights In Bathrooms to Discourage Drug Use A public bathroom bathed in blue light is seen at this Turkey Hill convenience store in Wilkes-Barre, Pa.

A handful of convenience stores and supermarkets are experimenting with an unusual strategy: Installing blue lights in bathrooms in order to quell drug usage by making it more difficult for people to inject themselves. The theory is that drug users, who often use the privacy of ...
Hospitals Are Making A Killing On Poorly Nourished Patients As Insolvency Of Medicare Part A Looms

It is intuitive that nutritional status at hospital admission predicts the outcome of treatment and length of stay. Yet too many older patients are over-drugged and undernourished on the day of their admission to the hospital and not only experience more complications and hospital-acquired infections, but by conservative estimation spend an extra costly day or two in the hospital. If nutritional assessment and corrective therapy were to be instituted upon hospital admission and reduced hospital length of stay by just 1 day, it is estimated in this report that practice would save $73 billion to Medicare Part A. That represents 24.5% of the $293 billion of Medicare funds spent on ...

Obamacare Dealt Blow as $10.4 Bil Wealth Redistribution Halted By Jack Davis July 8, 2018 at 7:14am Insurance companies waiting for $10.4 billion they were expecting from the federal government thanks to Obamacare will have to wait a little longer, now that the Trump administration has stopped the so-called “risk adjustment payments.” The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services announced Saturday that it was halting the payments, Reuters reported. The payments are designed to compensate insurance companies that took on consumers with costlier health care problems during 2017. The money comes from companies that insured healthier Americans.

From Agence France-Presse Here’s how to increase your sperm count: According to a study, adding just 60 gm of nuts -- walnuts, hazelnuts and almonds -- in your diet will have a significant impact your sperm count, vitality, motility and morphology. The potential benefits of nuts for men struggling with fertility have yet to be probed. For the study, researchers recruited 119 men aged 18-35, who they divided into two groups. One group ate 60gm of almonds, hazelnuts, and walnuts daily on top of their usual “western-style” diet, while the second group got no nuts. After 14 weeks, the nut group “had significant improvements in their sperm count, vitality, motility ...

I am now officially an Obamacare Outlaw – the deadline for sending in my “shared responsibility” penalty/tax whatever-it-is having come – and gone. Without my having sent them a burnished penny of the $695 they claim I “owe.” Readers will recall that about three weeks ago, I received a thuggy letter from the Luca Brasi division of the government, which has become the collection agency for the health insurance mafia. The mafia succeeding in getting Obamacare passed into law – and don’t be deceived that it was Obama or the Democrats or even the Republicans who did it, though they played their necessary puppet parts.

Why Our Brains Constantly Create New Threats When something becomes rare, we sometimes see it in more places than ever. It’s a quirk that can impair our judgment, but may be one we can control. Why do many problems in life seem to stubbornly stick around, no matter how hard people work to fix them? It turns out that a quirk in the way human brains process information means that when something becomes rare, we sometimes see it in more places than ever. VIEWPOINTS Partner content, op-eds, and Undark editorials. Rather than being a consistent category, what people considered “threats” depended on how many threats they had seen lately.

Why protein powders are virtually useless for building lean body mass … and what you should take instead to stay fit, trim, and healthy If you take whey protein powder to increase your muscle (lean body) mass, I have some news that may surprise you. Research shows that when it comes to lean body mass, most of the protein in whey powder does not build muscle and may actually be making you fat! Here's the story: Whenever you consume any kind of protein, some of that protein is used by your body to build muscle, and some is turned into glucose to burn for energy. How much of it is used for muscle and how much is turned into glucose? Well, that depends on what kind of protein ...

In a decision that could signal how California’s fierce vaccine debates will play out in the coming years, the Medical Board of California has ordered 35 months’ probation for Dr. Bob Sears, an Orange County pediatrician well-known for being sympathetic to parents opposed to vaccines. In 2016, the board threatened to revoke Sears’ medical license for wrongly writing a doctor’s note for a 2-year-old boy that exempted him from all childhood vaccinations. This week, the medical board settled on a lesser punishment. Sears can keep practicing medicine but will be required to take 40 hours of medical education courses a year, as well as an ethics class, and also be ...

CHN... One out of every 4 adults over the age of 45 is on a statin drug. And for the rest of their lives. Despite the fact that there are hundreds of studies demonstrating their toxicity and relationship to most serious health issues ranging from muscle pain to brain and memory problems. Statin drugs have even been linked to diabetes and cancer, two of the top three leading causes of death. The FDA has issued numerous warnings to Doctors, but the sale$ continue to rise. All the while they get rich and you just get sicker and sicker. But there is always another drug for the new sick you will develop. These drugs are very dangerous.

Nutrient Insider There’s a nutrient that doctors in Eastern Europe and Russia have used for decades for the treatment of muscular weakness, but it’s almost unheard of here in the U.S. But this nutrient could be the next superstar on the block. That’s because it does a lot more than just treat muscle weakness. It’s also a powerful treatment for mild-to-moderate Alzheimer’s disease and various other memory impairments. This nutrient is so well studied that the FDA has approved it as a safe and effective treatment for mild-to-moderate dementia. One study found that it helps increase growth of new brain tissue. This is a big finding, as brain shrinkage is a major ...

Flight crews have higher than average rates of certain cancers, according to a study of more than 5,000 US-based flight attendants. "We report a higher lifetime prevalence of breast, melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancers among flight crews relative to the general population," said Irina Mordukhovich, a researcher at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and co-author of a study published Tuesday in the journal Environmental Health. "This is striking given the low rates of overweight and smoking in this occupational group," she said in a statement. Out of 5,366 flight attendants who took part in the study, just over 15 percent reported ever having been diagnosed ...

OK, book report time. I have just finished reading Bad Blood, by John Carreyrou of the Wall Street Journal. Good read, fascinating story. It is the saga of Elizabeth Holmes, founder of Theranos, the miraculous blood-testing company of Silicon Valley. Holmes, formerly said to be worth $4.5 billion, ended up under criminal indictment for fraud as of 2015. I suppose many have heard vaguely of Theranos, as I had, but the actual story is astonishing. Holmes, 19, drops out of Stanford to start a medical-instrumentation company. She is very smart, very driven, very self-confident, very glib, very cold-blooded, very manipulative, very willing to take risks, very pretty, and very ruthless. ...

us children autsim 2016 Health Impact News New statistics released by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) show that one out of every 36 children in the U.S. now are diagnosed with autism. The rate in 2013 was one out of 50, in 2008 the rate was one out of 88, in 2002 the rate was one out of 250, and in 1980, six years before Congress and President Reagan passed a law giving vaccine manufacturers total legal immunity for injuries or deaths caused by vaccines, the rate was only one out of 10,000. This should be headline news, and yet the corporate-sponsored “mainstream” media has been mostly silent on this report. MIT researcher Dr. Stephanie Seneff has stated that ...

Several circular herpes virus particles are seen near a cell membrane. Roseola herpes virus causes a childhood illness marked by skin rashes and now has been found in brains with Alzheimer's disease. NCI/Science Source Two common herpes viruses appear to play a role in Alzheimer's disease. The viruses, best known for causing a distinctive skin rash in young children, are abundant in brain tissue from people with Alzheimer's, a team of scientists reports Thursday in Neuron. The team also found evidence that the viruses can interact with brain cells in ways that could accelerate the disease. "Our hypothesis is that they put gas on the flame," says Joel Dudley, an ...

I hate to concede the possibility that Bob Dylan was ever right about anything, but I will not deny that the times they are a-changin’. Still, what neither Dylan nor anyone who finds him remotely worthwhile seem capable of conceding is that the times may be a-changin’ due to the fact that the IQs they are a-droppin’. IQ tests over the past two decades show that people are getting dumber, and researchers are stupidly trying to blame this on everything except genetics.

The organisms the body produces to clear toxic chemicals from alcohol are the same ones it needs to protect the heart from damage, researchers say. The body produces organisms called enzymes which break down the toxic parts of alcohol when people drink it, and they are the same enzymes which are released to protect the heart when it suffers major damage, ...
