CHICAGO (WBBM) – WBBM Newsradio 780 has learned that the cooler at the Cook County morgue is so crowded right now, bodies are doubled-up on some of the trays. Why are there so many bodies? “We had this huge upswing in deaths right at the end of the year, and with the holidays being on Saturdays, it really created a backlog because the funeral directors weren’t coming in,” Cook County Medical Examiner Dr. Nancy Jones tells WBBM Newsradio 78082;s Steve Miller. Jones adds that more bodies could not go out because coffins were on back order. But Jones says the coffins are now in, and a mass county burial is scheduled for next week. “The cooler really isn’t in ...

Man Cures Cancer with Apricot Seeds - FDA Arrests Man for Big Pharma This guy, Jason Vale, got cancer so he began researching natural cures and found that Apricot seeds could help cure Cancer. So he began curing himself with the seeds and it was working great. The problems really started when he started telling others about the cure and calling it a "cure". The FDA hammered the guy and I think he was sentenced to 20 years! Do you see the fraud here. This guy cures his own cancer and had like 40,000 happy customers buying Apricot seeds and Vitamin B-17 but THAT'S a problem for the new world order FDA because they only exist to shut down the competition to the Rockefeller Big ...
Decreasing flouride in water

ATLANTA — Fluoride in drinking water — credited with dramatically cutting cavities and tooth decay — may now be too much of a good thing. Getting too much of it causes spots on some kids' teeth. A reported increase in the spotting problem is one reason the federal government will announce Friday it plans to lower the recommended levels for fluoride in water supplies — the first such change in nearly 50 years. About 2 out of 5 adolescents have tooth streaking or spottiness because of too much fluoride, a surprising government study found recently. In some extreme cases, teeth can even be pitted by the mineral — though many cases are so mild only dentists ...
Canadian scientists find protein that stops cancer spread

Cause for cancer malignancy found, scientists claim Researchers based at the University of Montreal, Canada, have claimed they now know why some cancers spread, while others remain dormant. The scientists said cancerous cells reproduce by splitting in two, however they have discovered that a molecule known as PML can control how many times this occurs. Dr Gerardo Ferbeyre, who works in the institution's biochemistry department, said: "We discovered that benign cancer cells produce the PML molecule and display abundant PML bodies, keeping them in a dormant, senescent state." However, according to Dr Ferbeyre, malignant tumours either do not make PML or do not organise the ...
The Top Five Negative-Calorie Health Foods That Burn Fat While Making You Feel Full

How do you eat more while losing more weight at the same time? One of the best answers is to eat "negative-calorie" foods, meaning that these foods actually take more energy to digest than they deliver to your body. While these foods may be an important source of phytonutrients, they are not sources of fat-packing calories. Because of their surprising lack of calories, these foods can essentially be consumed in unlimited quantities without you gaining weight (body fat). That works because your stomach senses when it is physically full, and it will trigger your brain to stop eating when you can't handle more food. You know that "I feel stuffed" feeling? That's ...

Unused swine flu vaccine turns into hazardous waste

Unused swine flu vaccine turns into hazardous waste (14.04.2010) Stuck with thousands, of unused swine flu shots, local health care providers are faced with the problem to discard flu vaccine for the first time in recent memory. Background: Swine flu vaccine left over from the winter 2009/2010 vacination campaign expires these days and therefore has to be disposed. Due to the content of mercury added as Thimerosal (also known as Thiomersal) to most of the vaccines that depending on the manufacturer can reach 25-50 ppm in the vaccine, the left overs have to be handled as "hazardous waste". USA: Even as health officials are warning of a possible third wave of the H1N1 virus, or ...
Baldness due to stem cell impairment

Nearly half of men experience some degree of baldness by the age of 50 Experts say they have discovered what they believe is the cause of male pattern baldness. It is not simply a lack of hair, but rather a problem with the new hair that is made. A manufacturing defect means the hair produced is so small it appears invisible to the naked eye, giving the classic bald spot or receding hairline. The US team told the Journal of Clinical Investigation the fault lies with the stem cells that make new hair. It may be possible to 'cure' male baldness by restoring the normal function of these cells, the experts hope. Ultimately, they hope to be able to develop a cream that could be ...
Toxin in eggs closes thousands of German farms

Thousands of farms across Germany have been ordered closed by the authorities after it emerged that they produced eggs that may be contaminated with dioxin, a toxic chemical. Operations at about 4,700 farms, mostly in Lower Saxony, have now been halted until it can be proven that the products do not present any danger of contamination. The decision came amid revelations by Frederic Vincent, a European Commission health spokesman, on Thursday that the affected German products had entered Britain in the form of 14 tonnes of processed products (egg fluid) that are to be used in the preparation of human food. There is as no evidence, however, that the eggs exported to the UK contain dioxin, ...

Poster Comment:VICTORIA — Horrified nature-lovers at Goldstream Provincial Park watched as the Goldstream River turned bright green late Wednesday afternoon. The fluorescent green colouring appeared to start about 500 metres on the Victoria side of the entrance to the park and, over the course of an hour, the substance flowed down into the environmentally sensitive estuary. By 5:30 p.m. the river, known for its dramatic salmon runs, eagles and other wildlife, was back to its normal colour. Ministry of Environment teams were immediately sent to the area to investigate and members of Langford Fire Department collected samples for analysis. No dead fish or animals had been found by early ...

Older people who walk quickly tend to live longer than those who slow way down as they age, found a new study. The findings do not mean that slow walkers are doomed to die early, the researchers warn. Nor will intentionally pushing yourself to hustle keep you young. Instead, the study suggests that, like blood pressure and cholesterol levels, the pace that you feel comfortable walking at can be a simple sign of your overall health. In turn, a simple walking test could help doctors and patients make decisions about when to perform certain screening tests -- and when not to. "We are not saying that if you just go out and walk faster, you will live longer. Absolutely not," said ...

Top 10 reasons to eat avocadoes

Avocado can save lives. Top 10 Reasons to Eat Avocado Avocado is considered by some as the "poor man's butter". Although that would be hard to accept today due to the fast rising of prices in the market. But who would have thought that it goes by a lot of names like alligator pear, butter pear, palta and aguacate. The name avocado also means testicles from the Aztec word ahuacatl. No wonder they called it the fertility fruit and considered as one of the most potent aphrodisiacs. Filipinos usually eat this fruit (some would say vegetable) by just dipping it on honey, sugar or just eat it plain (with out the skin of course). Some also mash it with condensed milk and sugar like ...

This is what I have in my first-aid kit: Marijuana. Doctors didn’t want marijuana made illegal, because it has so many medicinal uses. It is a pain-killer, a muscle relaxer (it was used for women giving birth), helps with insomnia, and increases appetite. That’s a lot of uses for one herb. Tea Tree Oil. It’s an antiseptic and promotes healing. One of my friends stepped on a nail. The doctor told him it wouldn’t heal and it wanted to ream it out. My friend declined. I had him put tea tree oil on it and it started to heal. The doctor told him, “I don’t know what you are doing, but keep doing it.” It healed completely with no scarring. I’ve seen people ...

USDA Certified Organic’s Dirty Little Secret: Neotame (Neurotoxin Alert)
Post Date: 2011-01-01 23:49:15 by Original_Intent

By Barbara H. Peterson Farm Wars Just when we thought that buying “Organic” was safe, we run headlong into the deliberate poisoning of our organic food supply by the FDA in collusion with none other than the folks who brought us Aspartame. NutraSweet, a former Monsanto asset, has developed a new and improved version of this neurotoxin called Neotame. Neotame has similar structure to aspartame — except that, from it’s structure, appears to be even more toxic than aspartame. This potential increase in toxicity will make up for the fact that less will be used in diet drinks. Like aspartame, some of the concerns include gradual neurotoxic and immunotoxic damage from ...

Thirty-nine people in the UK have now died with flu-like illnesses this winter, figures show. All but three of them were infected with the H1N1 swine flu virus, while the remainder had influenza B, the Health Protection Agency data shows. The figures were published as the government announced it is to re-launch an ad campaign to raise awareness of how to guard against flu. Earlier this week GPs said cases had risen to 124 per 100,000 people. The latest figures for Scotland, released on Thursday, showed 55 cases of flu per 100,000 - up from 45.8 per 100,000 in the previous week. The expert committee on vaccination for the UK has decided against giving the seasonal flu jab to healthy ...

Study links conservative views to brain geometry If you're a conservative, it might be your brain's fault. So says British scientists who scanned the brains of two members of the British Parliament and about 90 students. Richard Alleyne, Science Correspondent for the UK Telegraph, reported Wednesday that those with conservative views have larger amygdalas, the area of the brain associated with anxiety and fear. They also have a smaller anterior cingulate, an area at the front of the brain associated with courage and optimism. Prof Geraint Rees, of the University College London and head researcher for the study, told the Telegraph: "We were very surprised to find that there ...

Highest Mortality Risk Seen With High-Fat Dairy and High Sugar Intake Two specific eating patterns increase the risk of death for older adults, a 10-year study finds. Compared to people who ate healthy foods, men and women in their 70s had a 40% higher risk of death if they got most of their calories from high-fat dairy foods or from sweets and desserts. University of Maryland researcher Amy L. Anderson, PhD, and colleagues monitored the eating patterns of 2,582 adults aged 70 to 79. They found that these diets fell into six patterns or clusters. After adjusting for risk factors such as sex, age, race, education, physical activing, smoking, and total calories, "the High-Fat Dairy ...

Fried Fish May Contribute to Increased Risk in 'Stroke Belt' December 23, 2010 — Americans living in the southern "stroke belt" states consume more fried fish than people living in other areas of the country, which may contribute to the region's high stroke mortality rate, a new study suggests. "Eating less healthy fish may be contributing to America's stroke belt and to racial disparities in stroke," Fadi B. Nahab, MD, medical director of the Stroke Program at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia, told Medscape Medical News. Dr. Fadi B.
