Bogus cancer doctor charged with sexually molesting his sedated cancer patients, held on $33M bond BY OREN YANIV DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER He may be the creepiest quack in Brooklyn - a bogus cancer doctor charged with a crime so heinous it earned him the highest bail in state history. Michail Sorodsky, 63, not only failed to heal the gravely ill women who forked over wads of cash for his holistic therapies, he sexually molested them and even raped at least one sedated patient, prosecutors say. Jury selection in the skin-crawling case begins in Brooklyn Supreme Court this week while Sorodsky continues to be held on an eye-popping $11 million cash bail or $33 million bond a figure higher ...

NaturalNews) What if someone invented an electronic device that would destroy pathogens, bacteria, and even viruses with no toxic side effects? What if that same device could wipe out cancer by altering the cancer's cellular environment or by killing cancer viruses with an electronic or ultra sonic beam? That was accomplished years ago. The researcher who invented and perfected this device had an odd name, Royal Raymond Rife. But his associates and colleagues knew him as Roy Rife. The original Rife machine, based on a naval radio frequency oscillator, evolved to the Rife Ray Tube. It is the basis of Rife technology that underwent successful trials and experiments as it was developed in ...

During a meeting in Washington, US officials acknowledged that in the 20th century government doctors had done a series of medical experiments on the country's own citizens that often involved making healthy people sick. While much of the experiments were carried out 40 to 80 years ago, it is the backdrop for this week's meeting in Washington of a presidential bioethics commission. The meeting was triggered by the US government's apology last year for federal doctors infecting prisoners and mental patients in Guatemala with syphilis 65 years ago. However, later on the US officials also acknowledged there had been dozens of similar experiments in America, which often involved ...

Related Stories * Garlic 'remedy for hypertension' * Kidney zap lowers blood pressure Despite exam stress, a long stint in education is good for people's blood pressure, according to researchers in the US. High blood pressure, or hypertension, is linked to heart attacks, strokes and kidney failure. The study, published in the journal BMC Public Health, shows the link is stronger in women than in men. The British Heart Foundation said the findings supported the link between deprivation and heart disease risk. Higher levels of education have been linked to lower levels of heart disease. The researchers suggest that blood pressure could be the reason why. The study looked ...
High HDL Cholesterol Linked to Long Life in Men

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Men who reach their 85th birthdays tended to have high levels of HDL cholesterol while in their 60s, a new study says. Researchers found that men with the highest HDL cholesterol were 28% less likely to die before they reached 85, compared to men in the lowest HDL group. This paper, published online in the February American Journal of Cardiology, adds to the evidence that HDL is important for a long life, said Dr. Nir Barzilai, who heads the Institute for Aging Research at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York and was not part of the study. However, "we always have to remember that it's an association," and it does not mean that ...

MIAMI (Reuters) - State and federal agents raided pain clinics throughout south Florida on Thursday in a crackdown on "pill mills" that they said dispensed medically unnecessary oxycodone to patients recruited via the Internet. Six clinic owners and operators were indicted on charges they conspired to illegally dispense more than 660,000 doses of oxycodone, netting $22 million in profits. Oxycodone can be crushed and snorted or dissolved and injected to get an immediate high, and has a massive potential for abuse leading to addiction and potentially fatal overdoses, federal authorities said. "According to recent estimates, Florida prescribes ten times more oxycodone pills ...

BEIJING, (Xinhuanet) -- "The caramel colouring used in Coca-Cola, Pepsi, and other foods is contaminated with two cancer-causing chemicals and should be banned," said the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI). The center is a health lobby group based in Washington, DC, U.S., according to media reports. America’s National Toxicology Program said that there is ‘clear evidence’ that both 2-MI and 4-MI are animal carcinogens, and therefore likely to pose a risk to humans. In U.S. government-conducted studies, two substances known as 2-MI and 4-MI caused lung, liver, or thyroid cancer or leukaemia in laboratory mice or rats. Researchers at the University ...

I was standing right next to Steve Jobs in 1989 and it was the closest thing I ever felt to being gay. The guy was incredibly wealthy, good looking enough to get any girl, a nerd super-rockstar who had just convinced my school to buy a bunch of NeXT machines (which, btw, were in fact the best machines to program on at the time) and I just wanted to be him. I wanted to be him ever since I had the Apple II+ as a kid. Ever since I shoplifted Ultima II, Castle Wolfenstein, and half a dozen other games that my friends and I would then rip from each other and pretend to be sick so we could stay home and play all day. I don’t care about Apple stock. (Well, I do think it will be the first ...

Monsanto Shifts ALL Liability to Farmers By Cassandra AndersonFebruary 21, 2011 Farmers like genetically modified (GM) crops because they can plant them, spray them with herbicide and then there is very little maintenance until harvest. Farmers who plant Monsanto's GM crops probably don't realize what they bargain for when they sign the Monsanto Technology Stewardship Agreement contract. One farmer reportedly 'went crazy' when he discovered the scope of the contract because it transfers ALL liability to the farmer or grower. Here is the paragraph that defines Monsanto's limit of liability that shifts it to the farmer: "GROWER'S ...
Supreme Court rejects vaccine lawsuit - [Outrageous]

The Supreme Court today gave vaccine manufacturers greater protection from lawsuits by parents who say vaccinations harmed their children, ruling that Congress had blocked those types of claims against drug makers. In a 6-2 decision, the justices said Congress had effectively shut the courthouse door to these lawsuits in 1986, when it created a special vaccine court designed to compensate victims of vaccine injuries. The decision immediately was hailed by the American Academy of Pediatrics, which said it would safeguard the nation's vaccine supply by protecting vaccine makers from potentially crippling legal liability--which could have driven manufacturers out of the vaccine ...

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 22 (Xinhua) -- Speaking more than two languages may lower the risk of developing memory problems, a new study suggests. The conclusion was based on analysis of 230 men and women with an average age of 73 who had spoken or currently spoke two to seven languages, the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) said on Tuesday. Of the participants, 44 reported cognitive problems; the rest of the group had no memory issues. The findings showed that those people who spoke four or more languages were five times less likely to develop cognitive problems compared to those who only spoke two languages. People who spoke three languages were three times less ...

Scientists at the UK's Institute of Cancer Research have prevented breast cancer spreading to other organs in mice by blocking a chemical. In their experiments, they showed that blocking the enzyme LOXL2 prevented metastasis. They said their findings, published in Cancer Research, provided a "fantastic drug target" and were "highly likely" to be used in a clinical setting. Cancer charities say the research shows great promise. The authors of the report say 90% of cancer deaths are due to tumours migrating around the body. When they looked at patients with breast cancer, they showed that high levels of the enzyme LOXL2 were linked with cancer spread and poor ...

Exercising on a treadmill for 45 minutes, three times a week, warded off the effects of premature aging in lab mice, a McMaster University study shows. The researchers hope that when people see the dramatic difference between sedentary mice and those with the treadmill routine, it’ll give them an extra push to get off the couch. Anything that motivates people to exercise is beneficial because it’s good for human health, decreasing rates of obesity and Type 2 diabetes while increasing longevity, said Dr. Mark Tarnopolsky of McMaster’s Michael G. DeGroote School of Medicine. “To see a mouse with grey fur and osteoporosis hunched up in the cage, and then the littermate ...

Kids' brains may hold clues to future criminals Who is going to grow up to become a criminal or psychopath? Current research in genetics and neuroscience may point towards answers to this question, opening up a whole host of ethical questions about culpability, justice and treatment. "Is there truly freedom of will, as the law assumes? Freedom of will may not be as free as many of us may think," said Adrian Raine of the University of Pennsylvania. Experiments by Raine have found that by looking at the brains of 3-year-old children, scientists could already see signs of potential trouble in the future. Raine discussed this research Monday at the American Association for the ...
More accurate blood pressure testing device

A device which can be worn like a watch could revolutionise the way blood pressure is monitored in the next few years, scientists say. Researchers at the University of Leicester and in Singapore have developed a device to measure pressure in the largest artery in the body. Evidence shows it gives a much more accurate reading than the arm cuff. The technology is funded by the Department of Health and backed by Health Secretary Andrew Lansley. It works by a sensor in the watch recording the pulse wave of the artery, which is then fed into a computer together with a traditional blood pressure reading from a cuff.

National Enquirer Kills Steve Jobs Well maybe not quite, but they might as well have. The tabloid The National Enquirer is giving Steve Jobs six weeks to live. Jobs had taken time off from Apple, the company he founded, to concentrate on his health, but the National Enquirer says he has been given a diagnosis of six weeks to live. Jobs is on indefinite medical leave because of an undisclosed health problem. And because Jobs’ health problem is undisclosed, the Internet and the tabloids are full of rumors about his condition, so we’re thinking, and hoping, this is just another one of them.

People living in remote villages in Ecuador have a mutation that some biologists say may throw light on human longevity and ways to increase it. The villagers are very small, generally less than three and a half feet tall, and have a rare condition known as Laron syndrome or Laron-type dwarfism. They are probably the descendants of conversos, Sephardic Jews from Spain and Portugal who were forced to convert to Christianity in the 1490s but were nonetheless persecuted in the Inquisition. They are also almost completely free of two age-related diseases, cancer and diabetes. A group of 99 villagers with Laron syndrome has been studied for 24 years by Dr. Jaime Guevara-Aguirre, an Ecuadorean ...

A patient's belief that a drug will not work can become a self fulfilling prophecy, according to researchers. They showed the benefits of painkillers could be boosted or completely wiped out by manipulating expectations. The study, published in Science Translational Medicine, also identifies the regions of the brain which are affected. Experts said this could have important consequences for patient care and for testing new drugs. Heat was applied to the legs of 22 patients, who were asked to report the level of pain on a scale of one to 100. They were also attached to an intravenous drip so drugs could be administered secretly. The initial average pain rating was 66. Patients ...
