Michael Lapihuska, facing camera, wearing Alabamans for Compassionate Care t-shirt Activists in Alabama have been trying for years to get a medical marijuana bill passed there. Last year, for the first time, a bill made it out of committee. Next year, they will try again, but even if they succeed, it will be too late for Michael Lapihuska. Lapihuska, cursed with depression and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), grew up in Alabama, but left the state after serving 13 months for possessing five grams of marijuana in 2003. The now card-carrying medical marijuana patient from California was arrested on marijuana possession charges again on December 15 in Anniston, Alabama, as he visited ...

Why Narcissism and Other High Conflict Personalities Are On the Rise shrink4men There are several books, numerous articles and blog posts about our current culture of narcissism (Lasch, 1991; Twenge and Campbell, 2010; Pinsky, 2009). Much of the recent material focuses on celebrities and the more obvious types of ego mania and entitlement, bad parenting, the boom in social media and the cheap self-esteem that’s been fostered in the last four decades. The fact that narcissism is on the rise is frightening enough, but it’s not just narcissism. All high conflict personalities are on the rise and that includes the other Cluster B disorders: Borderline Personality Disorder, ...

Big Pharma Scores Big Win: Medicinal Herbs Will Disappear in EU It's almost a done deal. We are about to see herbal preparations disappear, and the ability of herbalists to prescribe them will also be lost. by Heidi Stevenson 12 September 2010 Big Pharma has almost reached the finish line of its decades-long battle to wipe out all competition. As of 1 April 2011—less than eight months from now—virtually all medicinal herbs will become illegal in the European Union. The approach in the United States is a bit different, but it's having the same devastating effect. The people have become nothing more than sinks for whatever swill Big Pharma and Agribusiness choose to send ...

Congress Seeks to put Dietary Supplement Makers in Jail for Ten Years! Pharmaceutical companies are once again interfering with your ability to access information about dietary supplements. The Senate is debating a bill that will enable the FDA to put vitamin supplement makers in jail for ten years if they cite findings from peer-reviewed published scientific studies on the label of their dietary supplements or their Web site. The pretext for these draconian proposals is a bill titled the Food Safety Accountability Act (S. 3767). The ostensible purpose of the bill is to punish anyone who knowingly contaminates food for sale. Since there are already strong laws to punish anyone who ...

Study: H1N1 triggered high rate of seizures in kids September 19th, 2010 @ 10:00pm By Ed Yeates SALT LAKE CITY -- Last year's pandemic influenza made a lot of people sick, but many kids got really sick. New research released Sunday by the University of Utah shows the H1N1 virus apparently triggered a higher rate of neurological complications in children. Dr. Josh Bonkowsky with the University of Utah Clinical Neurosciences Center said, "I've been working as a physician for approximately 10 years and had never seen so many kids with flu and neurological problems." Dr. Josh Bonkowsky Bonkowsky and colleagues wondered if what they were seeing last year was a statistical ...

In 1919 when the flu killed 40 million people there was this Doctor that visited the many farmers to see if he could help them combat the flu. Many of the farmers and their family had contracted it and many died. The doctor came upon this one farmer and to his surprise, everyone was very healthy. When the doctor asked what the farmer was doing that was different the wife replied that she had placed an unpeeled onion in a dish in the rooms of the home, (probably only two rooms back then). The doctor couldn't believe it and asked if he could have one of the onions and place it under the microscope. She gave him one and when he did this, he did find the flu virus in the onion. It obviously ...

Photo: AquAdvantage® Salmon in the background; a non-GMO Atlantic salmon of the same age in the foreground. The United States' Food and Drug Administration is in the midst of public hearings to determine if it will approve AquaBounty Technologies' application for fish spawned from genetically engineered salmon eggs to be allowed for use as food. These "AquAdvantage® Salmon" grow into full-sized fish in half the time that it would take a regular salmon, and if approved, would become the first "transgenic" or genetically engineered animals to be approved for human consumption. It's a deeply fraught issue for both fans and foes of the technology, but ...

Tumeric spice cures Alzheimer's

Nature is full of various herbs and spices that protect against disease and even treat and cure it. And according to Chris Kilham, an ethnobotanist and Fox News' "Medicine Hunter", turmeric root -- also known in its extract form as curcumin -- is one such powerful spice that appears to both prevent the onset of Alzheimer's disease and even cure it. "People who develop Alzheimer's disease get a sticky plaque in the brain called amyloid beta," explained Kilham to Dr. Manny Alvarez in a recent Fox News interview. Such plaques either develop as a result of Alzheimer's, or they are the direct cause of it. But either way, they are directly related to the ...

A clinical trial led by Mitsuyoshi Urashima and conducted by the Division of Molecular Epidemiology in the the Department of Pediatrics at the Jikei University School of Medicine Minato-ku in Tokyo found that vitamin D was extremely effective at halting influenza infections in children. The trial appears in the March, 2010 issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (Am J Clin Nutr (March 10, 2010). doi:10.3945/ajcn.2009.29094) The results are from a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study involving 334 children, half of which were given 1200 IUs per day of vitamin D3. In other words, this was a "rigorous" scientific study meeting the gold standard of ...

Bad press over health concerns has affected sales for the corn syrup industry and as a result the Associated Press reported today that corn syrup producers want to "sweeten up its image with a new name: corn sugar." The article explained: The bid to rename the sweetener by the Corn Refiners Association comes as Americans' concerns about health and obesity have sent consumption of high fructose corn syrup, used in soft drinks but also in bread, cereal and other foods, to a 20-year low. The group plans to apply Tuesday to the Food and Drug Administration to get "corn sugar" approved as an alternative name for food labels. The article goes out of its way to include ...

(NaturalNews) Consumers may soon have a new "Frankenfood" to contend with as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will soon decide whether or not to approve genetically-modified (GM) salmon as food. If approved, the GM salmon -- known as AquAdvantage -- will be the first GM animal officially authorized for human consumption in the U.S. Aqua Bounty Technologies Inc., the company responsible for the new "Frankenfish", has been seeking approval for it from the FDA since 1995. By programming salmon genes to continuously produce growth hormone, scientists from the company have been able to make their engineered fish grow to full size in less than 250 days, as opposed ...
UV adds vitamin D to mushrooms
Post Date: 2010-09-11 05:02:00 by Tatarewicz

(NaturalNews) Food companies are beginning to capitalize on a little known capability of mushrooms: like humans, they synthesize vitamin D when exposed to ultraviolet radiation like that in sunlight. Vitamin D is an essential nutrient that helps the body form and maintain healthy bones and teeth. More recent research has shown that it helps regulate the immune system, lowering the risk of infection, cancer, heart disease and autoimmune diseases. Yet as fear of skin cancer has grown and populations have become more sedentary, exposure to sunlight has dropped dramatically and vitamin D deficiency has surged. "There's a better understanding of importance of vitamin D in human ...
Blood Tests Show Elevated Level of Toxic Hydrocarbons in Gulf Residents

A number of different chemists are finding elevated levels of toxic hydrocarbons in the bloodstream of Gulf coast residents. What is most disturbing about these results is that people who simply live near the water are showing higher than normal levels of toxic chemicals. These are not fishermen, shrimpers, oil workers or others who work on the water. Jerry Cope recently wrote about his test results in a must-read essay at Huffington Post. Several Gulf coast residents described their test results in the following video: And the Intel Hub has uploaded some of the other test reports. The local ABC news affiliate in Pensacola, Florida – ABC3 Wear – covered the story: Several ...

A mind-altering "magic mushroom" drug can safely improve the lives of patients with advanced cancer, it has been claimed. Controversial research in the US showed that one session with the drug, psilocybin, improved mood and reduced anxiety in the patient group for up to six months. Psilocybin is the active ingredient in "magic mushrooms", and classified as an illegal Class A drug in the UK. The drug has psychedelic effects that can include the enhancement of colours and visual hallucinations. Professor Charles Grob, from the LA BioMed research institute in Los Angeles, California, said: "We are working with a patient population that often does not respond well ...

On Monday, a World Health Organization official said that the vaccine that aided in keeping a control on the swine flu outbreak was found to be effectual. The health authorities should now speed up the velocity and the amount of the production of these vaccines to prepare for the next global epidemic.

However, authorities feel that there would been greater loss, where a massive number of people would succumbed to death. According to WHO data, around 350 million doses of the vaccine were doled out ...

Pedal power is gaining traction as thousands of bikes and elliptical machines are retrofitted to produce electricity. Gyms are using sweat equity to help power their facilities. A Brooklyn eatery uses it to make smoothies. Female inmates at a Phoenix jail pedal to power their TV to watch soap operas. Actor Ed Begley Jr. bikesrides a bike to run his toaster. "Business is really taking off," says Jay Whelan, CEO of The Green Revolution, a Connecticut-based company that retrofits bikes for spinning classes. Since April 2009, he has added devices to nearly 1,000 bikes at 60 gyms that convert the direct current created by pedaling into alternating current to be sent to the power ...

Heavy Drinkers Outlive Non Drinkers, Study Finds
Post Date: 2010-08-30 15:09:54 by Ada

One of the most contentious issues in the vast literature about alcohol consumption has been the consistent finding that those who don't drink actually tend to die sooner than those who do. The standard Alcoholics Anonymous explanation for this finding is that many of those who show up as abstainers in such research are actually former hard-core drunks who had already incurred health problems associated with drinking.
But a new paper in the journal Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research suggests that - for reasons that aren't entirely clear - abstaining from alcohol does actually tend to increase one's risk of dying even when you exclude former drinkers. The most shocking part? ...
