When is Rape Not Rape? When the GOP House Wants to Limit Your Right to Choose Posted by McCamy Taylor Fri Jan 28th 2011, 11:59 PM Pay close attention to the wording of the latest Republican assault on reproductive choice. The bill, sponsored by Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ) called HR 3 “No Taxpayer Finding for Abortion” goes a lot farther than the Hyde amendment. Under this new bill, if your health insurance covers abortion and you allow your insurer to pick up the tab—you can no longer write off your health care premiums. That means unless you had the forethought to buy special abortion insurance, you are out of luck. And how many women plan for an unplanned pregnancy? Under ...

FDA Sees Possible Cancer Risk With Breast Implants Jan 26, 2011 – 2:48 PM Text Size Matthew Perrone AP WASHINGTON -- Federal health officials said Wednesday they are investigating a possible link between breast implants and a very rare form of cancer, raising new questions about the safety of devices which have been scrutinized for decades. The cancer, known as anaplastic large cell lymphoma, attacks lymph nodes and skin and has been reported in the scar tissue which grows around an implant. The Food and Drug Administration is asking doctors to report all cases of the cancer so the agency can better understand the association. The agency is aware of just 60 cases of the disease ...
When All Drugs Were Legal

This article is excerpted from Libertarianism Today, by Jacob H. Huebert. Libertarians propose an immediate end to the drug war. This would be a dramatic course change for the United States but, as we’ll see, it’s really not so radical – it would just return us to the successful libertarian drug policy America had for most of its history. For most of U.S. history, all drugs were legal. How legal? As libertarian writer Harry Browne put it, "Few people are aware that before World War I, a 9-year-old girl could walk into a drug store and buy heroin." In fact, before Bayer sold aspirin, it sold Heroin™ as a "sedative for coughs." (As a German company, ...

Cancer Research UK said the study improved understanding of the disease, but was still at the laboratory stage. There are treatments for primary cancers, but tumours have the potential to spread.

My head has been so clogged up that it's giving me a headache.

The results are spectacular. I'm breathing clear and my head is already feeling less fuzzy. The effects of ...

Cooling the brain of patients who have suffered a stroke could dramatically improve their recovery, a group of Scottish doctors has said. They are joining others from across Europe who believe that inducing hypothermia in some patients can boost survival rates and reduce brain damage. Similar techniques have already been tried successfully on heart attack patients and those with birth injuries. Scientists are in Brussels to discuss a Europe-wide trial of the technique. To date, studies have involved the body of patients being cooled using ice cold intravenous drips and cooling pads applied to the skin. This lowers the body temperature to about 35C, just a couple of degrees below its ...

Hospitals lure doctors away from private practice

While making the case for his health reform package, President Obama argued that his proposal would make life easier for small-business owners. Unfortunately, Obamacare threatens to undermine a group of small-business owners that is perhaps more important than any other to his reform effort — doctors in private practice. The number of privately owned medical practices has declined sharply in the past five years. In 2005, at least two-thirds of practices were in private hands. That figure has dropped to less than half today — and is expected to sink below 40 percent by next year. Many doctors, specifically those who have just completed a resident specialty, are now choosing not ...

With the recent development of China’s “aircraft-carrier killer missiles” and “stealth aircraft”, many countries might fear for the rapid rise of China’s military might, including the superpower America. But it is the cigarettes, which succeed to defeat the mighty China. Its advanced stealth ability to avoid China’s most advanced radar as “a national threat”, combined with its billions USD bribery in the legal form of “cigarettes taxes”, make the mighty China completely defeated. The largest tobacco company in the world by volume is China National Tobacco Co. Nearly 60% of Chinese men are smokers, and China consumes more than 37 ...

America is in the midst of an ongoing epidemic of undertreated chronic pain. This fact is confirmed by surveys such as “Chronic Pain in America: Roadblocks to Relief,” which is posted on the American Pain Society website (www.ampainsoc.org/ whatsnew/toc_road.htm). The economic cost of this epidemic can be estimated, in terms of lost productivity, at about $100 billion per year. The human costs are more difficult to quantify. These include unnecessary suffering and lives ruined through inability to work. To physicians facing unwarranted criminal charges of drug dealing, the consequences of such an accusation range from damage to reputation to life imprisonment. In cases in Florida ...

(NaturalNews) The results of a new study published in the journal Nitric Oxide: Biology and Chemistry shows the impact of beetroot juice on brain health. Researchers already know that beetroot juice is beneficial to heart health as it effectively lowers blood pressure. A new study demonstrated the extract could be used as an agent to improve oxygen flow to the aging brain and to improve cognitive decline. Nitrates in Beetroot Juice Relax Aging Arteries Healthy blood flow to the brain declines with age as the vascular endothelium begins to harden and normal flexibility is lost. The heart needs to beat faster and harder to pump the same volume of blood, and normal oxygen supply is reduced. ...

(NaturalNews) The human brain needs a continual supply of fuel. When this continual supply is interrupted brain cells begin to die. In the short-term, this can cause symptoms such as headaches, brain fog, & tiredness. Long-term exposure to environments that deplete sources of brain fuel from effectively getting into the cells leads to neurodegenerative diseases. New research is showing that coconut oil can supply the brain with a very clean source of energy that prevents unwanted short-term symptoms and is effective at preventing and treating neurodegenerative disease states. In many neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer's, neurons in certain regions of the brain have ...
