The Real GMO Problem by Brad Lemly Dear Reader, Pretty much everyone, I hope, has heard of genetically modified organisms, also called GMOs. And pretty much everyone, I hope, knows that they are now a major part of the American food supply. Specifically, about half of all crops planted on American farmland are genetically modified, including 85% of corn and 91% of soybeans. Most people, however, can’t say why this situation might be dangerous, beyond the idea that splicing genes from one species into another is “unnatural.” That’s true enough, but here’s the fundamental issue — what’s the goal of creating GMOs? If it is boosting nutrition ...

(ANTIMEDIA) Had the President of Nobel Peace Prize-winning Doctors Without Borders not warned us of the “imminent threat to global health” posed by the TPP, would these 22 doctors and patients have lost their lives early Saturday? “I don’t know exactly how long, but it was maybe half an hour afterwards that they stopped bombing. I went out with the project coordinator to see what had happened. What we saw was the hospital destroyed, burning,” described nurse Lajos Zoltan Jecs of the U.S. bombardment of a hospital in Kunduz, Afghanistan. Harsh criticism and skepticism surround what is being labeled an errant U.S. bombardment of a hospital in Kunduz that left 22 ...

Guns, Congress and Murphy’s Law by Matt Bai October 8, 2015 Rep. Tim Murphy, R-Pa. speaking on Capitol Hill earlier this year. He is the author of a bill that addresses the mental health issues he believes are central to the mass shootings crisis. (Photo: Andrew Harnik/AP) Chances are you’d never heard of Tim Murphy before last week, even if you follow politics pretty closely. Or maybe you just couldn’t keep him straight among the other Murphys in Congress. (There are three at the moment, including a senator from Connecticut.) Suddenly, though, this Murphy, a Republican congressman from the Pittsburgh area, is on virtually every network. ...
Avoiding the Sun During Teenage Years Could Accelerate MS Onset

Not being exposed to sunlight during adolescence could lower the age at onset of multiple sclerosis (MS), a new study suggests. The results support a potential protective role of the sun in the pathogenesis of MS, said lead author Julie Hejgaard Laursen, MD, PhD, Danish Multiple Sclerosis Center, Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen. However, whether the protection comes from the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays or from vitamin D from sun exposure is still uncertain, they say. The study also found a link between higher body mass index (BMI) and earlier age of MS onset. The study was published online October 7 in Neurology. The analysis included 1161 Danish patients with MS for whom researchers ...

RT... A new period product seeking support on Kickstarter will link up with women’s smartphones to tell them when they need to change, and even when their period is due. The Looncup – which is similar to the already popular Mooncup – is placed inside the vagina to collect menstrual blood, but, unlike the Mooncup, users will not need to check when to change. Using Bluetooth, the product will alert users when their cup is 50 percent and 70 percent full. As well as notifying users of their cup capacity, the Looncup can alert women to potential problems such as sleep loss or stress by analyzing the color of the blood. The cup comes with an app which also lets women know when ...

March 9, 2010 (San Francisco, California) — Good news for coffee drinkers--new observational data presented last week at EPI|PNAM 2010, the Cardiovascular Disease Epidemiology and Prevention and Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Metabolism 2010 Conference, suggests that multiple cups of Joe are associated with a lower risk of arrhythmias. [1] "A lot of people think they have palpitations from coffee, and doctors commonly tell people not to drink it, but there are very few actual data, and the data that are available suggest no relationship," said lead investigator Dr Arthur Klatsky (Kaiser Permanente Division of Research, Oakland, CA).

Want China Times Drugs have been the most popular item Chinese tourists have bought in Japan during the week-long National Day holiday from Oct. 1, reflecting the shortcomings of the domestic pharmaceutical industry, according to Hunan-based news portal Rednet. Medicine has replaced rice cookers and toilet seats as the No. 1 item on the shopping list of Chinese visitors to Japan since the Lunar New Year holiday in February, the site said. The drugs favored by Chinese visitors include painkillers, cold medicine, eye drops, bandages and fever-relieving patches, as they are easy to find and come with clear and simple instructions, Rednet said.

Medscape... Say you’re a rural Midwestern farmer in bed recovering from a major illness at your local hospital. It’s time for nurse’s check in, but there’s no knock on the door. At Mercy Hospital in St. Louis, just over the foot of the bed, a camera whirls around and a monitor lights up to show a smiling face with a headset on. “Good afternoon, this is Jeff with SafeWatch. Just doing my afternoon rounds,” he said in this training exercise. Watching the video nurses in action, it’s a little hard to shake the Jetsons vibe, but this kind of health care is already alive and growing. On October 6, Mercy Hospital will open a new telemedicine mothership that ...

Being emotional is manly in my opinion’ The size of G.I. Joe’s biceps and Arnold Schwarzenegger’s guns in the Terminator movies is proof that the dominant form of masculinity is out of control. That message and similar ones were conveyed recently to students during Vanderbilt University’s “Healthy Masculinities Week,” organized by the Margaret Cuninggim Women’s Center. Attendance for students was optional. The Vanderbilt week kicked off with a lecture by the first man to minor in women’s studies at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, Jackson Katz.

Why Are Older People Taking as Many as 30 Big Pharma Drugs?

Taking over 40% of Big Pharma meds Seniors represent only 13% of the population, but they take over 40% of pharmaceutical drugs in the US. In the UK, 45% of prescriptions are doled out to individuals over the age of 65 years. The practice of polypharmacy has never been more acute than it is in the modern era. So why are we drugging the elderly so profoundly? With such a high number of the elderly taking multiple drugs, there have been few studies looking at how these drugs interact with one another. This is even more alarming in those over 65 because an older person metabolizes chemicals differently, with the chances of an adverse reaction to any one prescription drug rising to a ...

How to Avoid GMOs — And Save the Nation’s Health

How to Avoid GMOs — And Save the Nation’s Health Dear Reader, Unfortunately, GMOs — genetically modified organisms — have spread like a rogue virus in the American food supply. Introduced a mere 20 years ago, now about half of all crops on American farmland are genetically modified. Despite what you’ve been told, GMO foods are unsafe. That’s largely because most are engineered to resist massive doses of glyphosate, a pesticide that’s probably carcinogenic. Generally, eating GMOs means eating lots of glyphosate. Don’t do it. Fortunately, it’s still possible to lead a largely GMO-free life. In brief, you just need to: 1. Buy organic ...

Russian government to outlaw all GMO food products to protect citizens' health Saturday, October 03, 2015 by: L.J. Devon, Staff Writer (NaturalNews) As the American people are being force-fed GMOs and petitioning their government for honest food labels, other countries around the world are already removing the transgenic ingredients from their food supply. As Americans beg to know what kind of agro-chemicals and GMOs are in their food, the Russian government is taking historic measures to eliminate the production of genetically modified food altogether. Manipulating nature at the genetic level and turning it into property and profit is how the biotech industry does business. The ...

New research adds fuel to the fructose health-risk fire Posted on October 3, 2015 by Brad Hoppmann Here in Florida, asking your server for "sweet tea" is generally redundant. If you ask for tea, you can usually assume it will more than satisfy your sweet tooth. Unfortunately sugar-sweetened beverages, which contain added sugars in the form of high fructose corn syrup or table sugar (sucrose), can have much longer-lasting effects on your body than temporary refreshment on a hot day. A new review paper published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology says this can lead to excess weight gain and a greater risk of developing Type 2 diabetes. And while it’s ...
One Day After Warning Russia of Civilian Casualties, the U.S. Bombs a Hospital in Afghanistan

Yesterday afternoon, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power marched to Twitter to proclaim: “we call on Russia to immediately cease attacks on Syrian oppo[sition and] civilians.” Along with that decree, she posted a statement from the U.S. and several of its closest authoritarian allies – including Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the UK – warning Russia that civilian casualties “will only fuel more extremism and radicalization.” Early this morning, in the Afghan city of Kunduz, the U.S. dropped bombs on a hospital run by Doctors Without Borders (Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF)). The airstrike killed at least 9 of the hospital’s medical ...
What do telomeres have to do with blood flow?

Advanced Natural Medicine The first thing that probably pops into your head when you think of poor red blood cell production is anemia. And, yes, it's true. People with anemia have a low red blood cell count, or RBC. Many of these folks are low on iron, so it's pretty easy to fix the problem. But there's another cause of low RBC you likely haven't heard about. And it can create a pretty vicious cycle that could cause you to age prematurely. At the same time, it also increases your chances of heart attack, stroke, dementia and more. Now, I've talked about telomeres before. These are the protective DNA caps on the end of your chromosomes that shorten each time your ...
Medical Students Nationwide Rally for Medicare for All

Hundreds of medical students in at least 16 states plan to demonstrate into the evening today in favor of extending Medicare coverage to all citizens, which would amount to a single-payer healthcare program for the United States. The schedule of events include marches and teach-ins as well as candlelight vigils in honor of the estimated 35,000 American adults whose deaths last year, organizers said, could have been prevented had those individuals possessed health insurance coverage. Today's activism springs from the Students for a National Health Program (SNaHP), an arm of Physicians for a National Health Program. SNaHP has roughly 800 members in chapters at 43 US medical schools, ...
FBI: FAR MORE MURDERS COMMITTED WITH KNIVES THAN ASSAULT RIFLES

Guns used over 300X more often to stop crime than to kill, according to past studies The new crime statistics released by the agency reveal that out of 11,961 murders performed within the U.S. in 2014, 660 were committed unarmed, 1,567 were committed with knives and only 248 murders were known to have been committed using rifles of any type, including single-shot long arms and “assault rifles” routinely demonized by gun control groups. Granted, the FBI did list 2,052 murders under “unknown firearm type,” but given the percentages of the known firearm categories, it is unlikely that more than four percent of the “unknown firearms” were in fact rifles, and ...
Rice cakes contain too much arsenic for children: study

Want... Sweden's National Food Agency has changed its recommendations on rice products, stating that many products contain dangerously high levels of carcinogenic arsenic and should be consumed in moderation. Children should not eat rice or rice products more than four times a week and children under the age of six should stay away from rice cakes altogether, the agency advised after investigating 102 rice products sold in Sweden and concluding that the arsenic levels were too high in some cases. "We already knew there was arsenic in rice. That is why we have now concluded that some products that are on the market contain quite high levels," Emma Halldin Ankarberg, a ...

Washington, D.C., March 3, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Physicians and public health officials know that recently vaccinated individuals can spread disease and that contact with the immunocompromised can be especially dangerous. For example, the Johns Hopkins Patient Guide warns the immunocompromised to "Avoid contact with children who are recently vaccinated," and to "Tell friends and family who are sick, or have recently had a live vaccine (such as chicken pox, measles, rubella, intranasal influenza, polio or smallpox) not to visit."1 A statement on the website of St. Jude's Hospital warns parents not to allow people to visit children undergoing cancer treatment if ...

DARPA is implanting chips in soldiers’ brains, according to this new book

For decades, DARPA, the secretive research arm of the Department of Defense, has dreamed of turning soldiers into cyborgs. And now it’s finally happening. The agency has funded projects that involve implanting chips into soldiers’ brains that they hope will enhance performance on the battlefield and repair traumatized brains once the fog of war has lifted. “Of the 2.5 million Americans who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, 300,000 of them came home with traumatic brain injury,” journalist Annie Jacobsen told NPR. “DARPA initiated a series of programs to help cognitive functioning, to repair some of this damage. And those programs center around putting brain chips ...
