Hospitals call in riot squad Nurses struggling to cope with violent psychiatric patients By Paul Melia Thursday August 12 2010 GARDAI wearing riot gear are being drafted in to deal with an upsurge of violence in our psychiatric hospitals. The revelation was made in a disturbing new report which revealed that hundreds of psychiatric nurses have been forced to retire because of growing violence, stress and staff cuts. The situation has become so bad that hospitals are now forced to hire private security firms because of the threat caused by violent male patients. A new report from the Psychiatric Nurses Association (PNA) published yesterday - - 'A Mental Health Service in Crisis' ...

A new superbug resistant to even the most powerful antibiotics has travelled back to the UK in patients who underwent surgery in India and Pakistan, experts warn. According to a study published in the Lancet Infectious Diseases, the multi-drug resistant bacteria has been tracked in patients returning to the UK after recieving cosmetic surgery, cancer treatment and transplants in Asia. The NDM-1- (New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase 1) making bacteria was found attached to strains such as Klebsiella pneumonia and E-Coli, making them highly resistant to nearly all antibiotics, even carbapenems -- the most powerful class of antibiotics. "The fear would be that it gets into a strain of ...

Bras and Breast Cancer by Ralph L. Reed, Ph.D. Although I am an environmental chemist (Ph.D in biochemistry), I have been doing a lot of literature research on breast cancer since I saw an article on the National Library of Medicine database over a year ago. That article documented an increase in breast cancer rates between women who do wear bras versus those that do not. That Harvard study fascinated me and I searched the medical literature for possible explanations. In January 1996, I discovered the book by Singer and Grismaijer and their explanation of impaired lymphatic flow intrigued me. I have since read everything that I can find on lymphatic flow. What I have found has amazed me, ...

News Europe Pollution soars amid Russian blazes Almost 10,000 firefighters are struggling to contain the wildfires [AFP] Pollution from peat and forest fires raging around the Russian capital, Moscow, has surged to record levels as wildfires continued to spread across the west of the country. More than 600 separate blazes were burning on Saturday, raising carbon monoxide levels nearly seven times the safe reading, the highest since Russia’s worst heatwave in living memory began a month ago. Residents sheltered indoors or fled from Moscow to less polluted climes. Many Muscovites were wearing face masks on the street. Health experts warned that the best solution is to leave the city ...
Why Medicine Is Slowly Dying in America

The American Medical Association recently voted to form a national union for physicians. It’s official. Doctors are now unionized—just like public school teachers, postal workers, and truck drivers. In one sense, unionizing is a good step for doctors. Everybody asserts their health-care “rights” today except for physicians. We hear about patient rights and HMO rights and government rights. We never hear about the doctors’ rights. It’s time doctors stood up for themselves too—for their patients’ sake as well as their own. If they don’t, the quality of medical care will deteriorate (as we already see happening), and we’ll all suffer the ...

Switch on Your "Immortality" Gene Dr. Al Sears Reveals the Secret to Undying Health There’s a hidden switch in every cell of your body. It controls how long you live... and when you die. It has the power to extend life—maybe indefinitely. Most doctors have never heard of it. A group of scientists stumbled upon it just ten years ago. They watched in awe as generation after generation of cells multiplied . . . without aging. As one top researcher put it in a Harvard report, “with this switch turned on, these cells become ‘immortalized’.”1 Until very recently, we didn’t know how to activate it. Today we do. We’ve uncovered the natural ...

Never in the civilised world have so many been locked up for so little THREE pickup trucks pulled up outside George Norris’s home in Spring, Texas. Six armed police in flak jackets jumped out. Thinking they must have come to the wrong place, Mr Norris opened his front door, and was startled to be shoved against a wall and frisked for weapons. He was forced into a chair for four hours while officers ransacked his house. They pulled out drawers, rifled through papers, dumped things on the floor and eventually loaded 37 boxes of Mr Norris’s possessions onto their pickups. They refused to tell him what he had done wrong. “It wasn’t fun, I can tell you that,” he ...

NHS bosses have drawn up secret plans for sweeping cuts to services, with restrictions on the most basic treatments for the sick and injured. Some of the most common operations — including hip replacements and cataract surgery — will be rationed as part of attempts to save billions of pounds, despite government promises that front-line services would be protected. Patients’ groups have described the measures as “astonishingly brutal”. An investigation by The Sunday Telegraph has uncovered widespread cuts planned across the NHS, many of which have already been agreed by senior health service officials. They include: * Restrictions on some of the most basic and ...

The Iraqi city of Fallujah continues to suffer the ghastly consequences of a US military onslaught in late 2004. According to the authors of a new study, “Cancer, Infant Mortality and Birth Sex-Ratio in Fallujah, Iraq 2005–2009,” the people of Fallujah are experiencing higher rates of cancer, leukemia, infant mortality, and sexual mutations than those recorded among survivors in Hiroshima and Nagasaki in the years after those Japanese cities were incinerated by US atomic bomb strikes in 1945. The epidemiological study, published in the International Journal of Environmental Studies and Public Health (IJERPH), also finds the prevalence of these conditions in Fallujah to be ...

BP Pumped Chemical Mixture Into Well Before Rig Explosion The procedure mixed two substances. "It's not something we've ever done before," KENNER, LA. -- In the hours before the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig exploded, BP pumped into the well an extraordinarily large quantity of an unusual chemical mixture, a contractor on the rig testified Monday. The injection of the dense, gray fluid was meant to flush drilling mud from the hole, according to the testimony before a government panel investigating the April 20 accident. But the more than 400 barrels used were roughly double the usual quantity, said Leo Lindner, a drilling fluid specialist for contractor MI-Swaco. BP ...

Israel's Separation Wall: A Health Hazard - by Stephen Lendman In July 2004, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruled the Separation Wall illegal, saying its route inside the West Bank, and associated gate and permit system, violated Israel's obligations under international law, ordering the completed sections dismantled, and "all legislative and regulatory acts relating thereto" repealed or rendered "ineffective forthwith." The ICJ also mandated reparations for the "requisition and destruction of homes, businesses, and agricultural holdings (and) to return the land, orchards, olive groves, and other immovable property seized," obligating member ...
Companies Prefer Penalties vs Paying for Health Insurance

The federal government, who has mandated the new health insurance coverage law insisting that all people buy health insurance by 2014, does not impose any penalty on small businesses with fifty employers or less that do not offer coverage to their workers. Massachusetts is one state whose companies are taking advantage of this and dropping health insurance for their workers. President Obama’s new health-care law will make it so that more than 24 million people in the United States will be expected to depend on their places of employment for health coverage by 2014. Because of the increasing health insurance premiums, many companies are dropping health insurance coverage for their ...

Homeland Security Mission Creep: The Drug War by Kevin Carson In recent columns, I’ve been discussing the way that the national security state, given an almighty big hammer in the name of “fighting terrorism,” is finding nails all over the place. Suppressing the anti-globalization movement, fighting the Drug War, and fighting “intellectual property crime” all fall under the post-9/11 security state’s expansive reading of its counter-terror mission. Specifically, I’ve recently been examining the work of retired USAF Colonel Jennifer Hesterman, a national security scholar whose body of research covers the very broad area where counter-terrorism meets all ...

anadian adults can take more vitamin D supplements than recommended under previous guidelines, Osteoporosis Canada says. Current Canadian recommendations for vitamin D intake are more than 10 years old and are based on preventing rickets, not properly conducted dosing studies, researchers said in Monday's issue of the Canadian Medical Association Journal. The new guidelines recommend daily supplements of: * 400 to 1,000 IU for adults under age 50 without osteoporosis or conditions affecting vitamin D absorption. * 800 to 2,000 IU for adults over 50. "A daily supplement of 25 micrograms (800 IU) should now be regarded as the minimum dose," wrote Dr. David Hanley of the ...

Eating junk foods keeps you dumbed down and easy to control This is no joke: If you focus on eating healthy foods, you’re “mentally diseased” and probably need some sort of chemical treatment involving powerful psychotropic drugs. The Guardian newspaper reports, “Fixation with healthy eating can be sign of serious psychological disorder” and goes on to claim this “disease” is called orthorexia nervosa ...
