By Geoffrey Gray Published Nov 16, 2008 (Photo: Patrick McMullan) Mayor Bloomberg is marshaling forces for his next public-health crusade: less salt. Late last month, he quietly gathered health experts and food-industry reps at Gracie Mansion to lay out his plan to cut sodium levels in processed foods by 20 percent over the next five years. At the meeting, city health czar Thomas Frieden called high blood pressure, which is linked to excessive sodium intake, “the greatest public-health threat facing the city” and pressured the industry groups to sign on by the end of November, according to a memo written by one ...

Counting the dead gets more complicated in Iraq

BAGHDAD – This much is agreed — a double bombing in Baghdad struck a school bus and those responding to the first blast. But the difference in casualty figures was stark. Iraqi officials said 31 people died; the U.S. military put the death toll at five. The conflicting reports from Monday's attack are emblematic of a spate of recent bombings that have raised fears of a resurgence in violence. There have always been disagreements because accurately counting the dead in the chaos of Iraq's war has never been easy. Yet discrepancies appear to be widening as the political stakes grow. U.S. officials privately say that some officials in the Shiite-dominated Interior and ...
Plagued by fungus? Bacteria? Try copper socks

SANTIAGO (Reuters) – Copper socks? Copper towels? How about copper subway poles? These are only a few of the ways Chile, the world's biggest copper producer, is utilizing the red metal which is more commonly found in the construction and auto sectors. Used since ancient times to make tools, weapons and plumbing systems, Chilean innovators are experimenting with ways to exploit copper's bacteria- and fungus-fighting characteristics. "Public transport systems, where germs can be transmitted and there are large numbers of people, are a potential market for applications for surface-metal copper," said Jurgen Leibbrandt, head of market development for the Chilean state ...

Gardasil Mandated For New U.S. Citizens Written by Ann Shibler Friday, 14 November 2008 11:50 If at first you don’t succeed, try, try, again. That’s exactly what the giant drug company Merck has done; it changed its lobbying target and now has the federal government mandating injections of its vaccine for legal immigrants, ensuring a continuous return on its product development investment. When efforts to have state governments mandate the injection of school-age girls with its vaccine, which can cause serious side effects, backfired, Merck simply changed its target and easily succeeded in getting the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to agree to inject ...

The New York Times reports that Democratic senator Max Baucus will unveil his nationalized health care proposal today, and (surprise!) it would require all Americans to purchase health insurance: The plan proposed by Mr. Baucus, Democrat of Montana, would eventually require everyone to have health insurance coverage, with federal subsidies for those who could not otherwise afford it. Other Democrats with deep experience in health care are also drafting proposals to expand coverage and slow the growth of health costs. These lawmakers include Senator Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts and Representatives John D. Dingell of Michigan and Pete Stark of California. The proposals are all ...
Neuroimaging Of Brain Shows Who Spoke To A Person And What Was Said

ScienceDaily (Nov. 10, 2008) — Scientists from Maastricht University have developed a method to look into the brain of a person and read out who has spoken to him or her and what was said. With the help of neuroimaging and data mining techniques the researchers mapped the brain activity associated with the recognition of speech sounds and voices. In their Science article "'Who' is Saying 'What'? Brain-Based Decoding of Human Voice and Speech," the four authors demonstrate that speech sounds and voices can be identified by means of a unique 'neural fingerprint' in the listener's brain. In the future this new knowledge could be used to improve ...

As God as my witness, I did not know there was quintuple bypass surgery. My father, who is 78 years old, underwent quintuple bypass surgery Monday. He's doing just fine, and has his color back after being really pale for the last few months. Advanced medical procedures just amaze me. He's going to have a hell of a scar. He was opened up from throat to belly button. On top of everything, the surgeons glued him shut.

Some Parents are Homeschooling Their Kids to Avoid Vaccinations

Video here, articles.mercola.com/site...o-avoid-vaccinations.aspx A growing network of parents have decided to homeschool their children, in part because of their belief that mandated vaccinations for public and private school children are a dangerous overreach by state governments. A group of about 200 parents around the state of Mississippi, for example, home school their kids because they have problems with the state’s mandated vaccination schedule. All states allow unvaccinated children to attend school with a medical doctor's excuse. Mississippi and West Virginia, however, allow no exemptions beyond medical necessity, leaving parents with homeschooling as the only option if ...

articles.mercola.com/site...e-at-exploding-rates.aspx The number of reports of serious problems, including deaths, linked to medications hit a record in the first three months of this year. The FDA received nearly 21,000 reports of serious drug reactions, including over 4,800 deaths, over that period. Two drugs accounted for a disproportionately large share of the problems -- heparin, a tainted blood thinner from China that caused an international safety scandal, and Chantix, a new anti-smoking drug from Pfizer. Chantix had the most reports of any medication. Earlier this year, the FDA warned that Chantix may be linked to psychiatric problems, including suicidal behavior. Serious drug ...

(NaturalNews) The allure of gold and silver has held humanity's captivation throughout history. The true reason behind this appeal, beyond the symbol of wealth, is not known but there have been many postulations. When one is familiar with the properties of silver, then it's easy to assume that the long held value of this precious metal is beholden to its medical uses and applications. Silver is a potent bacteria fighter and its use in dressing wounds dates back to Ancient Rome, reportedly by Pliny the Elder. Today it is used in hospitals as an anti-septic. If silver is prized for keeping illness away, gold's true value may lie in its ability to augment health. With these two ...

Mandatory Flu Shots for Preschoolers Cause Outrage

New Jersey's Public Health Council now requires a flu shot for all children before they enroll in preschools and daycare centers. The mandate has infuriated many parents, hundreds of whom recently gathered in protest outside the statehouse in Trenton. Parents flooded the statehouse, carrying signs with slogans like "Parent Power" and "My Child, My Choice," and chanting "No American should be forced to play vaccine roulette with their child." They rallied for support of a "conscientious objectors" clause, which would grant exemptions for children and parents who have a moral objection to the vaccination. Existing state law provides for medical ...
What's the upside of the plague?

What's the upside of the plague? Literacy. Funny story. When you invent the printing press (Gutenberg, 15th Century), you're not going to really get anywhere with it unless you've got paper. Plenty of paper. But paper was scarce in Gutenberg's day because it was made from discarded linen and canvas. You couldn't just call up Dunder Mifflin and order a few reams. The 15th Century also happened to be one of those unfortunate centuries when the Black Death occasionally took its toll here and there throughout Europe. Of course, no one wants to wear the suit of a plague victim, so tons of clothes were discarded, and someone had the idea to use them for papermaking. The ...

PARSONSFIELD, Me. — The novelist Carolyn Chute doesn’t have a working phone, a fax or a computer. She writes on a washtub-size electric typewriter that was probably state of the art in the ’70s. Ms. Chute (pronounced CHOOT) and her husband, Michael, live in a small compound at the end of an unpaved road in this rural Maine village near the New Hampshire border. There are stacks of old tires in the yard, a rusted bedstead, a pen full of Scottish terriers and an assortment of well-used vehicles. A bumper sticker on Mr. Chute’s pickup reads, “School Takes 13 Years Because That’s How Long It Takes to Break a Child’s Spirit.” Skip to next paragraph Enlarge ...

"Can artificial sweetener cause blood sugar to rise?" The question is posed by an HSI member named Randysgrandma, who adds: "For about a week, I was having some problems with my BS being higher than they had been for close to a month. I wasn't sure what was causing it, and thought it might be stress. "I had switched to a powdered Stevia sweetener. I was concerned that it also contained maltodextrine. But a representative for a soda made with Stevia assured me that maltodextrine was totally ok for diabetics. "For an experiment, I checked my BS, it was 178, I drank a juice glass of water with a packet of the powder mixed in. My BS went up to 201!! "I ...

Researchers in Sweden have found that the twice yearly ritual of resetting the clock according to daylight savings time can affect one’s chances of suffering a heart attack. The study, conducted by researchers at the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm and published in the New England Journal of Medicine, showed that in the week after clocks are reset for summertime there is a 5 percent increase in heart attacks, which the scientists attribute to sleep deprivation. "In the spring, there is a clear statistically significant increase in the risk of suffering a heart attack" in the week after clocks are set forward, which in Europe happens on the last Sunday of March, ...

Guess who doesn't want a flu shot? Thousands of health care workers. According to the Associated Press, well over half of all nurses, doctors, EMS personnel, and other health care workers take a pass on getting a yearly flu vaccine. Now let's think about this… They have easy access to the vaccine. They don't have to put on their coat, drive somewhere, and stand in line. I'm sure for most of them there's no charge for the shot. And you can be certain their employers strongly encourage them to get the shot, because the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that ALL health care workers be vaccinated. So why do so many say no? According to a 2006 ...
