The chairman of the California Legislative Latino Caucus plans to propose a new law that would expand access to health insurance for all Californians, including those living in the country illegally. State Sen. Ricardo Lara, D-Bell Gardens, is working with a broad coalition of organizations to map out the details of a bill that would cover undocumented immigrants, who are excluded from insurance coverage under the national Affordable Care Act, or ACA. “Immigration status shouldn’t bar individuals from health coverage, especially since their taxes contribute to the growth of our economy,” Lara said in a news release. While immigration reform is stalled in Washington, D.C., ...

GMO Food It’s Worse Than We Thought By S.A. Nickerson Over the last decade, as genetically modified, or GMO, foods have increasingly taken over our food supply, we’ve been learning more about their dangers to our health. Now, one courageous doctor is pointing to mounting evidence that leaves no doubt — GMO foods are even worse than we were told. As this respected doctor points out in a riveting new presentation, no long-term human studies have ever supported GMO safety. Shockingly, the World Health Organization only requires a mere 90 days of testing to claim that GMOs are safe. Well, no one dies from smoking cigarettes within 90 days of starting to smoke, either! Yet ...

Dentists' Clinical Decisions Often Conflict With Research

Dentists' clinical decisions conflict with evidence from research about third of the time, a new survey shows. The study, published in the January issue of the Journal of the American Dental Association, underscores the lag in time between research findings and clinical practice. "Documenting the gap between clinical practice and published research findings is an important, albeit sometimes uncomfortable, first step toward being able to improve quality of care and patient outcomes," write Wynne E. Norton, PhD, an assistant professor of public health at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, and colleagues. Although previous studies have already established such a gap ...

Is It Good to Sweat? January 10, 2014 | 5,177 views By Dr. Mercola Sweating is a natural, essential body process designed to help your body stay cool. But some may wonder whether it’s beneficial to encourage your body to sweat more for reasons beyond temperature control. The New York Times recently published an article that concluded “sweating, per se, provides no health benefits” aside from preventing overheating,1 but I, and many other experts, believe there’s far more to the story than this. Why Sweating Is Important You have two different types of sweat glands: eccrine sweat glands, which are distributed over your entire body, and apocrine sweat glands, ...
Doctors say cutting food stamps could backfire

WASHINGTON (AP) — Doctors are warning that if Congress cuts food stamps, the federal government could be socked with bigger health bills. Maybe not immediately, they say, but over time if the poor wind up in doctors' offices or hospitals as a result. Among the health risks of hunger are spiked rates of diabetes and developmental problems for young children down the road. The doctors' lobbying effort comes as Congress is working on a compromise farm bill that's certain to include food stamp cuts. Republicans want heftier reductions than do Democrats in yet another partisan battle over the government's role in helping poor Americans. Food stamps, known as the ...
Trans Fats Alert: 5 Foods With Risky Levels

Trans Fats Alert: 5 Foods With Risky Levels Thursday, 09 Jan 2014 09:42 AM By Nick Tate The Food and Drug Administration's recent ruling that trans fats are unsafe in food — paving the way for a ban — was hailed by nutritionists and health-food advocates nationwide. But what was lost amid all the hype and hoopla over the FDA move was the fact that many foods still contain dangerous levels of the fake fats. In fact, partially hydrogenated oils are likely to remain in many processed, fried, and fast foods for years to come, as the FDA moves toward banning trans fats — an action the agency said would prevent more than 20,000 heart attacks and 7,000 new cases of ...
Are your vitamins REALLY useless?

Are your vitamins REALLY useless? When is a study not a study? Give up? When it's an editorial based on a mish-mash of three cherry-picked studies, with a lead author who's done none of the actual research himself. You've no doubt seen the excited flurry of headlines that hit right prior to the holidays. In huge screaming fonts they deemed multivitamins and minerals "useless," "a waste of money" and even, possibly "harmful." And of course the mainstream media just LOVES a controversy, so they jumped on this one with both feet. There's just one problem, there's actually no controversy to begin with. (Okay, there are actually MANY ...

McDonald's Shuts Down Employee Website Advising Workers to Avoid Fast Food... January 08, 2014 | 32,070 views By Dr. Mercola McDonald's is the poster child for the modern Western diet and all the health problems that it engenders. As a general rule, "food" was designed to supply your body with all the nutrients it needs. Processing destroys many of the nutrients and is the primary contribution to most of the chronic degenerative diseases many experience today. I would also argue that food processed to the point of not decomposing after more than a decade is not actually real food and shouldn't be consumed... Ironically, the fast food giant recently ended up ...

The short-term garden food crisis, power4patriots, survival seeds Cooking or heating food has become such a routine in our daily lives that we tend to forget one very basic and important fact. Once food is heated or cooked, it loses some of its essential vitamins and nutrients. Sprouts, on the other hand, are considered “living foods” which still contain life-giving nutrients including enzymes, oxygen, vitamins, nutrients and chlorella that are vital to the human body’s maintenance. Because they are nutritious, affordable, easy to grow and can be grown with limited exposure to the sun, sprouts are important to survival strategies. They contain vitamins A, B, C, D, E and ...

Recreational pot now legal to buy in Colorado; the nation is watching to see results Sunday, January 05, 2014 by: Thomas Henry (NaturalNews) The state of Colorado has become the first state in the nation to open its doors to the retail sale of marijuana for recreational purposes. Two referendums passed in the November 2012 elections in both Colorado and Washington state have effectively legalized marijuana, officially allowing for the recreational use and sale of pot - shifting significant momentum to the decriminalization and legalization of a drug that has put millions behind bars in America over the course of the 20th and 21st centuries.

Liver Cancer: No Longer a Death Sentence Friday, 03 Jan 2014 09:34 AM By Nick Tate When Vic Eliason's doctor told him the prostate cancer he'd been battling for a decade had spread to his liver, his first thoughts were about his grandchildren. "It's an interesting thing," Eliason recalls. "First you deny it. Then you look at your loved ones, your kids, your grandkids, and there is the realization that you can't live forever." But today — four years since that diagnosis — Eliason tells Newsmax Health he is healthy and his cancer is in check. At 77, the Wisconsin radio talk-show host is embracing life with a new vigor and appreciation for ...

GUANGZHOU, Jan. 5 (Xinhua) -- Samples of goose meat taken from a Guangzhou market in south China's Guangdong Province have tested positive for H7N9 avian influenza. Two goose meat samples and one sewage water sample from two poultry booths in a wet market in Zengcheng, a satellite city of Guangzhou, tested positive, Guangdong Provincial Center of Disease Control and Prevention (CDCP) confirmed on Sunday. "It's serious that the water sample test is positive, because it means all the birds inside coops have the possibility of being infected with H7N9 avian influenza. The longer they stay in the coops, the risk of being infected rises," said Yang Zhicong, deputy chief of ...

CBC: 965 confirmed flu cases in the province of Alberta — 920 of the H1N1 strain Calgarians line up at the Brentwood Mall for flu shots. Health experts say even if you had the vaccine during the 2009 H1N1 pandemic, you should get immunized again. (CBC) Comment: mr. mojorisin Guest I never get a flu shot and have been flu free for at least 25 years. For about 13 of those years I worked in a hospital and dealt with patients directly. Getting the flu vaccination is a crapshoot at best. Being vaccinated for only one or even a few of the multiple strains going around gives you very limited protection. Being vaccinated also does not prevent you from transmitting the virus to another ...
Immune Response Stronger in Women Than in Men

Androgens and genes involved in lipid metabolism may drive the differences in immune responses between men and women, according to a systems analysis David Furman, PhD, from Stanford University in California, and colleagues measured the responses to diverse in vitro stimuli in peripheral blood samples from 53 women and 34 men. "Males experience a greater severity and prevalence of bacterial, viral, fungal, and parasitic infections than females, who also exhibit a more robust response to antigenic challenges such as infection and vaccination," the authors write. "This stronger immune response in females could also explain why they more frequently develop immune-mediated ...

BERLIN, Jan. 3 (Xinhua) -German scientists have developed a prototype of artificial bone marrow, which can simplify the treatment of leukemia in a few years, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) announced on Friday. Scientists from KIT, Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Stuttgart and the University of Tubingen have recreated basic properties of the natural bone marrow artificially in a laboratory. The haematopoietic stem cells provide replenishment of red blood cells or immune cells, so they can be used for the treatment of leukemia, in a way that the diseased cells of the patient are replaced with healthy haematopoietic stem cells from a matched donor. However, at ...

In fact, a modest 200 gram serving (equivalent to 1 potato) contains: 638 calories 76g of high glycemic carbs 34g of fat And without a doubt the worst stat of all: 16g of trans fat! Yikes! Fortunately, you can still satisfy that french fry craving with this healthy and delicious alternative. Baked Sweet Potato Fries Ingredients *3 large sweet ...

Jan. 1, 2014 — In the largest ever assessment of substance use among people with severe psychiatric illness, researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and the University of Southern California have found that rates of smoking, drinking and drug use are significantly higher among those who have psychotic disorders than among those in the general population. Share This: The study is published online in the journal JAMA Psychiatry. The finding is of particular concern because individuals with severe mental illness are more likely to die younger than people without severe psychiatric disorders.

A call to governments worldwide to triple tax on tobacco in order to prevent premature deaths from lung cancer and other disease is made in a review article published online January 1 in the New England Journal of Medicine. "The two certainties in life are death and taxes.

MWASHINGTON, Dec. 31 (Xinhua) -- Vitamin E may slow functional decline in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and decrease caregiver burden, a U.S. study said Tuesday. Previous research has found that alpha tocopherol, a fat- soluble vitamin E and antioxidant, slowed disease progression in patients with moderately severe Alzheimer's disease. Researchers from Minneapolis VA Health Care System and Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai examined the effectiveness and safety of vitamin E, the drug called memantine, and the combination for treatment of functional decline in patients with mild to moderate AD. These patients were also taking anti-dementia drugs known as ...
