Health care reform is a hot topic today, as it has been for much of America’s history. Benjamin Rush, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, warned in 1787 that medical freedom needed to be included in the American Constitution. Without this protection, Rush warned that the medical establishment would naturally progress – as many of mankind’s institutions do – into an oppressive dictatorship. His words, echoing from over 200 years ago, ring strikingly true today: Benjamin Rush, Founding Father . “The Constitution of this Republic should make special provision for medical freedom. To restrict the art of healing to one class will constitute the ...

WASHINGTON — The Food and Drug Administration halted operations of the country's largest organic peanut butter processor Monday, cracking down on salmonella poisoning for the first time with new enforcement authority the agency gained in a 2011 food safety law. FDA officials found salmonella all over Sunland Inc.'s New Mexico processing plant after 41 people in 20 states, most of them children, were sickened by peanut butter manufactured at the plant in Portales and sold by Trader Joe's grocery chain. The FDA suspended Sunland's registration Monday, preventing the company from producing or distributing any food. The food safety law gave the FDA authority to suspend ...

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26 (Xinhua) -- All patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) lose brain cells, which leads to a shrinking or atrophy of the brain. But the pattern of gray matter loss is significantly different in men from that in women, according to a study released Monday. In the study presented at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America, Maria Spampinato of Medical University of South Carolina and colleagues analyzed data on 109 patients, including 60 men and 49 women (mean age 77), who participated in a major study that followed hundreds of cognitively healthy individuals and individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and AD over a period of five years. ...

The reason there's an obesity epidemic...

The reason there's an obesity epidemic, which worsened most dramatically in the 80s, is the stigma against eating fat, emploring people to turn to carbs as a way to quell their appetite. Carbs cause weight gain. It's that simple. The causal links are not even disputed by health professionals. They're simply ignored. It's understandable that people reject this notion. It's hard to go against all conventional wisdom. But the government food pyramid truly is the Keynesianism of dietary science. The food pyramid is another example of destructive government propaganda. The entire bottom layer of the pyramid should be removed. It simply does not contain any food that our ...

Multiple Sclerosis ‘immune Exchange’ Between Brain and Blood Is Uncovered
Post Date: 2012-11-22 04:31:05 by Tatarewicz
2 Comments
ScienceDaily (Nov. 19, 2012) — DNA sequences obtained from a handful of patients with multiple sclerosis at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) Medical Center have revealed the existence of an "immune exchange" that allows the disease-causing cells to move in and out of the brain. Share This: The cells in question, obtained from spinal fluid and blood samples, are called B cells, which normally help to clear foreign infections from the body but sometimes react strongly with the body itself. One of the current theories of multiple sclerosis, which strikes hundreds of thousands of Americans and millions more worldwide, holds that the disease manifests when ...

Milk-drinking kids retain their spryness in old age, according to research published in the November issue of Age and Ageing. Kate Birnie, PhD, from the School of Social and Community Medicine, University of Bristol, United Kingdom, and colleagues found that drinking a glass of milk a day in childhood was linked to a 5% faster walk and 25% decreased risk for balance problems in old age. "The effect sizes appear small, but subtle differences in physical ability could greatly impact on activities in daily life," the authors write, noting the potential danger of balance problems and the benefits of being able to cross a road before the light changes. According to the authors, ...

On the 49th anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, among the glaring issues that cry out for explanation is the multiple delivery of Kennedy’s body to the Bethesda morgue on the evening of the assassination. After almost half-a-century, the government agencies and government officials who were involved still refuse to provide an explanation into that highly unusual and very mysterious episode. In fact, they still won’t even acknowledge that it happened despite the overwhelming amount of evidence that it did happen. The facts are detailed in an article I published on November 22, 2010, entitled, “The Kennedy Casket Conspiracy,” which was based ...

CHANGSHA, Nov. 21 (Xinhua) -- An ongoing investigation has confirmed that some of a domestic liquor brand's products contain excessive levels of a plasticizer, but there is no evidence that the company has intentionally used the toxic additive, a Chinese local quality watchdog said Wednesday. In response to the latest food safety scandal, the Hunan provincial administration of quality and technological supervision said the investigation results show that liquor samples from Jiugui Liquor Co., Ltd. contained 1.04 mg of dibutyl phthalate (DBP) per kg, one kind of plasticizer. The figure is higher than the 0.3 mg per kg standard, a provisional regulatory limit set by the Ministry of ...

SCARBOROUGH, Ontario — The risk of a hip fracture in people aged 66 and over is increased by almost 50% in the first month and a half after they begin taking medication for high blood pressure, a new study illustrates [1]. In a study published online November 19, 2012 in the Archives of Internal Medicine, Dr Debra A Butt (Ellesmere Health Care Center, Scarborough, ON) and colleagues say much of the medical literature on the association of antihypertensive drug use and fractures has focused on long exposure periods. "To our knowledge, this is the first study to demonstrate an immediate increased risk of hip fracture on initiation of antihypertensive drug therapy in ...

ScienceDaily (Nov. 14, 2012) — The risk of developing multiple sclerosis (MS) is highest in the month of April, and lowest in October, indicates an analysis of the available evidence, published online in the Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery and Psychiatry. The findings, which include several populations at latitudes greater than 52 degrees from the equator for the first time, strongly implicate maternal exposure to vitamin D during pregnancy. They extend previous research and prompt the authors to conclude that there is now a strong case for vitamin D supplementation of pregnant women in countries where ultraviolet light levels are low between October and March. The researchers ...

ScienceDaily (Nov. 11, 2012) — Fat cells store excess energy and signal these levels to the brain. In a new study this week in Nature Medicine, Georgios Paschos PhD, a research associate in the lab of Garret FitzGerald, MD, FRS director of the Institute for Translational Medicine and Therapeutics, Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, shows that deletion of the clock gene Arntl, also known as Bmal1, in fat cells, causes mice to become obese, with a shift in the timing of when this nocturnal species normally eats. These findings shed light on the complex causes of obesity in humans. The Penn studies are surprising in two respects. "The first is that a ...

Ogden Police Officer Jared Francom was fatally shot during a raid on the home of Matthew David Stewart last January 4. Francom was part of a twelve-man SWAT team attached to the Weber-Morgan Narcotics Strike Force, a federally subsidized counter-narcotics squad. A few weeks earlier, a woman named Stacy Wilson who had broken up with Stewart called the Strike Force snitch line to report that Stewart was cultivating marijuana on his property. After three attempts to conduct a "knock and talk" search of the home, the Strike Force obtained a warrant for a nighttime paramilitary raid – despite the fact that they didn’t even bother to do a background check on the accuser. In ...
American Consumers Are Revolting Against Prescription Drugs

Anecdotal evidence has been coagulating into numbers, and these numbers are now beginning to weigh down corporate earnings calls. It appears the toughest creature out there, the one that no one has been able to subdue yet, the ever wily and inexplicable American consumer, is having second thoughts about prescription drugs. And is fighting back. A paradigm shift. We’ve already heard from some companies, such as drug maker Pfizer, whose revenues in the US plunged 18%, largely due to the collapse of its flagship drug Lipitor that is losing its battle with much cheaper generics. But the direst indications came from Express Scripts, the largest pharmacy benefit manager in the US—and ...

California scientists have reported structural changes in the brains of adult patients who are relatively young and who also suffer from hypertension. Their findings directly link high blood pressure to brain aging. The project, led by University of California Davis researchers, is the first to demonstrate this relationship in people just entering middle age, according to Medical News Today (MNT). Prior studies followed older patients. Hypertension -- high blood pressure -- occurs when the force of a person's blood against artery walls is high enough to cause medical problems, the Mayo Clinic says. A majority of patients have no symptoms. Among the complications are heart attacks, ...
High-Carb Diet Increases Risk for Colon Cancer Recurrence

Diet after a diagnosis of cancer can affect outcome, according to a study that followed colon cancer patients, published online November 7 in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. The researchers found that the patients who ate a starchy high-carbohydrate diet were nearly twice as likely to have a recurrence as those who ate a better balance of foods, and the effect was most pronounced in patients who were obese or overweight. It is believed that a starchy high-carbohydrate diet increases insulin levels, and insulin and insulin-like growth factors are known to promote cellular growth and spread, lead author Jeffrey Meyerhardt, MD, MPH, from the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in ...
