Oct. 12 (Bloomberg) -- Swine flu caused otherwise healthy younger people to develop severe respiratory failure, a pattern of attack not seen since the 1918 flu that killed millions of people, according to three studies published today. Severe illness from swine flu, also know as H1N1, developed rapidly in patients admitted to the hospital, especially young people, and sent previously healthy people to intensive care units, according to studies of outbreaks in Canada and Mexico published today in the Journal of the American Medical Association. A third study from Australia and New Zealand found some patients benefited from a machine that replenished blood oxygen levels in extremely ill ...

Oct. 9 (Bloomberg) -- Swine flu drove a 15-fold increase in intensive care admissions for viral lung inflammation in Australia and New Zealand, especially among pregnant women, the obese and people with chronic lung disease, a study found. During the peak of severe illness, patients with the new H1N1 influenza strain filled 8.9 percent to 19 percent of all intensive-care hospital beds in each state of Australia and New Zealand, according to the study published yesterday in the New England Journal of Medicine. Almost 65 percent of intensive-care H1N1 patients required mechanical ventilation. The Southern Hemisphere’s winter flu season, studied from June 1 to Aug. 31, may give health ...

(10-07) 08:01 PDT WASHINGTON, (AP) -- Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius appealed anew Wednesday for widespread inoculation against a surging swine flu threat, calling the vaccine "safe and secure." Sebelius unconditionally vouched for the safety of the vaccine, saying it "has been made exactly the same way seasonal vaccine has been made, year in and year out." Appearing on morning news shows to step up the Obama administration's campaign for vaccinations, Sebelius said that "the adverse effects are minimal. ... We know it's safe and secure. ... This is definitely is a safe vaccine for people to get." Sebelius was asked on CNN ...

Breast cancer's faulty gene
Post Date: 2009-10-07 04:16:09 by Tatarewicz
3 Comments
British scientists have identified the tumor suppressor gene which, when damaged, results in breast cancer and possibly that of the prostate, colon, ovary and bladder. Gene NRG1 on chromosome 8, once damaged, can no longer cause DNA-damaged cells to self destruct and avoid dividing uncontrollably, thus becoming cancerous. Cambridge University's Paul Edwards, who discovered the faulty suppressor gene mechanism, said the fault does not appear to be hereditary. Tatarewicz: Note in reader comments the recommendation to read Hulda Clark's 668 page book on cancer causes and pathways, including use of a Geiger counter to detect radon gas, polonium from amalgams, chlorox bleach, ...
Waves of new fund cuts imperil US nursing homes

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) - The nation's nursing homes are perilously close to laying off workers, cutting services - possibly even closing - because of a perfect storm wallop from the recession and deep federal and state government spending cuts, industry experts say. A Medicare rate adjustment that cuts an estimated $16 billion in nursing home funding over the next 10 years was enacted at week's end by the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services - on top of state-level cuts or flat-funding that already had the industry reeling. And Congress is debating slashing billions more in Medicare funding as part of health care reform. Add it all up, and the nursing home industry ...

Does anybody on 4um believe that they may have had the swine flu? I'm thinking that I have it. It started out like a normal cold, coughing, plugged up head and nose. It seemed to be lasting longer than normal, as I'm generally extremely healthy. However, I have kids in gradeschool, attend college and have been student teaching at the high school. Plenty of places to contract a nasty bug. Precautions had been taken as I upped by vitamin D over a month ago. On Saturday I took a turn for the worse. Chills came on. I ate little breakfast then began to have horrible back pain with stomach cramps. This was awful, to the point where I was laying on the tile floor rolled up in the fetal ...
Chemo Does Not Cure: Often It Inflicts Damage and Spreads Cancer

NaturalNews) For years now, many of us who advocate natural health and natural approaches to beating cancer have warned against the dangers and the ineffectiveness of chemotherapy. The following report presented at the 27th Annual San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium illustrates how chemo actually spreads cancer cells, as well as points out how little we are being told about the dangers of chemo: "German investigators from Friedrich-Schiller University in Jena, have shown that taxol (the "gold standard of chemo") causes a massive release of cells into circulation. "Such a release of cancer cells would result in extensive metastasis months or even years later, long after ...

The Conscience of a Capitalist The Whole Foods founder talks about his Journal health-care op-ed that spawned a boycott, how he deals with unions, and why he thinks CEOs are overpaid. By STEPHEN MOORE "I honestly don't know why the article became such a lightning rod," says John Mackey, CEO and founder of Whole Foods Market Inc., as he tries to explain the firestorm caused by his August op-ed on these pages opposing government-run health care.

SEPTEMBER 29, 2009. Health workers in New York State must take the Swine Flu vaccine. That’s a new regulation. Take the vaccine or get fired. But several thousand of those health workers are staging a protest in Albany, and surveys have indicated that many more will refuse the shot. During an ordinary flu season, between 40 and 50 percent of NY health workers decline the vaccine. Why? They don’t think it’s necessary, and they worry about the dangers of the vaccine. This time around, they’re particularly worried, because the federal government has barred any lawsuits against Swine Flu vaccine manufacturers, in the event of serious adverse effects. Why would the feds ...

FDA says expired courses of antivirual medication are safe, effective The Centers for Disease Control are releasing 22,000 courses of expired liquid Tamiflu to Texas pharmacies because of a severe shortage. Many pharmacies across Texas and other places in the United States are currently sold out of the liquid form of the antiviral. The state is seeing a number of swine flu cases, many of them involving children. The maker of Tamiflu is currently producing adult tablets only. "The tablets are too strong of a dose for kids, and they have trouble swallowing them," said Joe Park, a pharmacist at Dougherty’s Pharmacy in Dallas. The Federal Drug Administration said it has ...

LA Times: “Germ-spreading schoolchildren are expected to be the focus of a massive U.S. vaccination campaign against the novel H1N1 flu. ”But if their parents are hearing the rallying cry to have their kids vaccinated, they're not buying it, says a new national survey. ”In a poll of 1,678 U.S. parents conducted by the University of Michigan's C.S. Mott Children's Hospital, 40% said they would get their children immunized against the H1N1 virus ...

Air Force Gen. Gene Renuart also told The Associated Press that as many as 400 troops are ready to go to five regional headquarters around the country to assist federal health and emergency management officials if needed as the flu season heats up. The Pentagon has bought 2.7 million vaccines, and 1.4 million of those will go to active duty military. National Guard troops on active duty are also required to receive the vaccine, as are civilian ...

N.F.L. Study Finds Link to Dementia

A study commissioned by the National Football League reports that Alzheimer’s disease or similar memory-related diseases appear to have been diagnosed in the league’s former players vastly more often than in the national population — including a rate of 19 times the normal rate for men ages 30 through 49. The N.F.L. has long denied the existence of reliable data about cognitive decline among its players. These numbers would become the league’s first public affirmation of any connection, though the league pointed to limitations of this study. The findings could ring loud at the youth and college levels, which often take cues from the N.F.L. on safety policies and whose ...

It became popular as a healthier alternative to butter. But children who ate margarine every day had lower IQs than those who did not, a study has found. At the age of three-and-a-half, they scored three points lower on intelligence tests than other youngsters. Importantly, the link held even when parental occupation and other factors affecting wealth and class were taken into account, the study of children born in the mid-1990s showed. By the age of seven, scores were six points lower – but only in children that had been underweight when born, suggesting that diet is particularly important for brain development in the more vulnerable. Writing in the journal Intelligence, the ...

(09-29) 08:30 PDT WASHINGTON, (AP) -- A federal appeals court has ruled that members of the military can be required to be vaccinated against anthrax. The U.S. Court of Appeals on Tuesday upheld a lower court's decision dismissing a case brought by eight service members who challenged the Food and Drug Administration's determination that the vaccine was effective. The plaintiffs also wanted to stop the Defense Department's requirement that service members at risk for anthrax exposure must be vaccinated. But the appeals court ruled that the service members who filed the suit did not provide any scientific evidence to prove the vaccine was ineffective.

Despite a planned rally in Albany Tuesday to protest a state regulation requiring health care workers be vaccinated against influenza — both seasonal and swine flu — New York’s top public health official predicts dissenters will ultimately extinguish their anger and roll up their sleeves. The regulation, which was approved in August, comes with a stinging addendum: Get vaccinated or get fired. But some nurses and many other health care providers say the regulation violates their personal freedom and leaves them vulnerable to vaccine injury. And they cite deaths associated with the last federal government swine-flu vaccination program in 1976. Refusing to be immunized ...

Poster Comment:S3 From another website: Technically not a "vitamin," vitamin D is in a class by itself. Its metabolic product, calcitriol, is actually a secosteroid hormone that targets over 2000 genes (about 10% of the human genome) in the human body. Current research has implicated vitamin D deficiency as a major factor in the pathology of at least 17 varieties of cancer as well as heart disease, stroke, hypertension, autoimmune diseases, diabetes, depression, chronic pain, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, muscle weakness, muscle wasting, birth defects, periodontal disease, and more. http://www.vitamindcouncil.org/ Vitamin D's influence on key biological functions vital to ...

Sept. 23 (Bloomberg) -- A diet high in foods with large amounts of fructose sugar such as sweetened soft drinks increased blood pressure in men, according to a study presented today that also found that a drug for gout blocked the effect. Men in the study who ate a high-fructose diet had their blood pressure rise about 5 percent after two weeks, while those who also were given a gout treatment increased less than 1 percent, study author Richard Johnson said. Eating great amounts of fructose without the treatment also raised the risk of developing metabolic syndrome, a group of risk factors associated with the development of heart disease and diabetes. The study is one of the first to show ...
