The Importance of Being Earnest
In the Oscar Wilde play of the same name Wilde uses Lady Bracknell to embody the mind-boggling stupidity of the British aristocracy, while at the same time, he allows her to voice some of the most trenchant observations in the play.
Lady Bracknell state's “I do not approve of anything that tampers with natural ignorance. Ignorance is like a delicate exotic fruit; touch it and the bloom is gone. The whole theory of modern education is radically unsound. Fortunately in England, at any rate, education produces no effect whatsoever. If it did, it would prove a serious danger to the upper classes, and probably lead to acts of violence in Grosvenor Square.”
Perhaps we are dealing with mind boggling ignorance of the pundits in the new administration - and Members of Congress - when it comes to the health care debate.
If one is familiar with current health care concerns, they know all too well that people who are the "Medicare eligibles" and "Medicaid recipients" are in between the proverbial 'rock and a hard place' because they already are being turned away from care because of low reimbursement rates.
Now on top of the excessive costs and privacy risks of electronic health care records, Obama wants to further reduce reimbursement.
We do not see any effort to reduce reimbursements, treatments and Rx from the health care plan used by members of Congress.
We also haven't seen any move to reverse the horrendous gift to the drub industry by Bushites AKA Medicare Plan D. Changes here would save millions, just starting with bidiing for supplying the drugs and elimination of the estra level of bureaucracy called "case management".
I remind you that it is a violation of the equal protection clause to continue these dualistic and more costly in the long term type of patches to the long broken health care system.
Your effort in learning what you can do to build your health is the key. You'll find some of our many health education programs at TOC, and of course we also offer consultation to you and to health care providers.
A move to reign in lobbyists is just as massive an undertaking - and of course we have the culture of bureacracy, something not unfamiliar with the new crew in the White House and the pack of hardline cronies with no vested interest in real change.

Obama challenges lobbyists to legislative duel
By CHARLES BABINGTON, Associated Press Writer Charles Babington, Associated Press Writer
Sat Feb 28, 3:39 pm ET
WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama challenged the nation's vested interests to a legislative duel Saturday, saying he will fight to change health care, energy and education in dramatic ways that will upset the status quo.
"The system we have now might work for the powerful and well-connected interests that have run Washington for far too long," Obama said in his weekly radio and video address. "But I don't. I work for the American people."
He said the ambitious budget plan he presented Thursday will help millions of people, but only if Congress overcomes resistance from deep-pocket lobbies.
"I know these steps won't sit well with the special interests and lobbyists who are invested in the old way of doing business, and I know they're gearing up for a fight," Obama said, using tough-guy language reminiscent of his predecessor, George W. Bush. "My message to them is this: So am I."
The bring-it-on tone underscored Obama's combative side as he prepares for a drawn-out battle over his tax and spending proposals. Sometimes he uses more conciliatory language and stresses the need for bipartisanship. Often he favors lofty, inspirational phrases.
On Saturday, he was a full-throated populist, casting himself as the people's champion confronting special interest groups that care more about themselves and the wealthy than about the average American.
Some analysts say Obama's proposals are almost radical. But he said all of them were included in his campaign promises. "It is the change the American people voted for in November," he said.
Nonetheless, he said, well-financed interest groups will fight back furiously.
Insurance companies will dislike having "to bid competitively to continue offering Medicare coverage, but that's how we'll help preserve and protect Medicare and lower health care costs," the president said. "I know that banks and big student lenders won't like the idea that we're ending their huge taxpayer subsidies, but that's how we'll save taxpayers nearly $50 billion and make college more affordable. I know that oil and gas companies won't like us ending nearly $30 billion in tax breaks, but that's how we'll help fund a renewable energy economy."
Passing the budget, even with a Democratic-controlled Congress, "won't be easy," Obama said. "Because it represents real and dramatic change, it also represents a threat to the status quo in Washington."
Obama also promoted his economic proposals in a video message to a group meeting in Los Angeles on "the state of the black union."
"We have done more in these past 30 days to bring about progressive change than we have in the past many years," the president in remarks the White House released in advance. "We are closing the gap between the nation we are and the nation we can be by implementing policies that will speed our recovery and build a foundation for lasting prosperity and opportunity."
Congressional Republicans continued to bash Obama's spending proposals and his projection of a $1.75 trillion deficit this year.
Almost every day brings another "multibillion-dollar government spending plan being proposed or even worse, passed," said Sen. Richard Burr, R-N.C., who gave the GOP's weekly address.
He said Obama is pushing "the single largest increase in federal spending in the history of the United States, while driving the deficit to levels that were once thought impossible."

The Biggest Health Problem Today? Stress
Stress has been in the news as a health epidemic since the
early eighties and this situation continues to worsen as an
increasing number of workers say that they are suffering
increasing stress in the workplace. Indeed work is now the
leading environment for the development of stress in adult
Americans. However levels of stress have also been rising
for children in the past few years and many people now link
this to a loss of religious and family values, isolation,
insufficient social support and simple corporate greed.
Nowadays, stress is far more of a danger than it was just
ten years ago and looks to be more extensive and more
invasive than ever with a lot more stress coming from
psychological instead of physical threats.
Stress causes a rise in heart rate and greater blood flow
leading to higher blood pressure. Levels of blood sugar also
increase to give the body the extra fuel which it needs to
fight stress, and the body is designed to push blood away
from the stomach when we are stressed in order to provide
extra strength for the legs and arms as part of what is
often called our "flight or fight" response.
Stress contributes to anxiety and chronic depression
together with skin and gastrointestinal problems, and
interferes with the workings of a lot of the body's major
organs. It can also create an impairment of the immune
system, which cannot shake off viral disorders from the not
particularly serious cold to very serious diseases such as
AIDS and cancer.
Stress in the workplace directly influences such things as
employee absenteeism and productivity and the business
climate progressively worsens with competition today at an
all-time high. The pressure placed upon employees to produce
and the continual concern about job security can produce a
number of conditions including neck pain, back pain, stroke,
hypertension, diabetes, ulcers and heart attacks.
All sorts of things can create stress including just sitting
in front of a computer for six hours every day or more,
meeting deadlines or having somebody continually monitoring
you. In this case the results are frequently seen as
depression and a range of physical ailments which give rise
to lost work time.
Taking the steps to manage the stress in your life may well
be the nicest gift you can give yourself and just a few
quite simple alterations to your lifestyle can make a big
difference to how you handle stress. For instance, taking
just 20 minutes out of your day to walk will lower your
level of stress as will talking to other people, prayer and
meditation and following a healthy diet. Take the time
necessary to master a few relaxation techniques because deep
breathing and relaxation exercises can do a great deal to
reduce your level of stress.

Muscle Building Workout Programs - How To Fuel And Maintain Your Workouts
To understand muscle building is to understand what reaching your peak performance and physical appearance is all about, something that few people really understand. Most people who want to build muscle intend to do so in a relatively short time frame.
But muscle building and physical fitness should be a way of life and this can only be accomplished by establishing realistic strength and fitness goals. As an avid fitness enthusiast I believe that transforming the body to meet our subjective specifications is one of the greatest gifts nature gave us. In addition, how we take care of our bodies and express ourselves on the outside is kind of like an indicator of who we really are on the inside.
Here are a few guidelines to increase your strength and enhance your individual fitness training:
1. Don't Set Goals That Are Not Realistic - The fitness goals you set for yourself should be somewhat difficult but at the same time somewhat realistic. If you set goals for yourself that are not actually achievable for the average person, like gaining 20 pounds of muscle in 8 weeks, then you will actually discourage yourself from finishing your workout routines. Don't let yourself be fooled by the glitzy ads you have seen on TV and across the Internet that make outrageous fitness claims. Always remember that physical fitness and muscle gains require both time and patience and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
2 Stay Focused - It's always a good idea to keep track of your daily calorie, carbohydrate, and protein consumption. You can do this with either an online journal or a printable journal, whatever your personal preference. I prefer a pocket notepad because it's easily portable and can be taken anywhere. You should always try to drink plenty of water through out the day preferably filtered or spring water. Adequate hydration alone will help you maximize your strength and muscle gains.
3. Listen Carefully To Professionals - Expert fitness professionals know how the body works and the right ways to go about building muscle and staying in peak physical condition. The only trouble is identifying who is and who is not a fitness professional. Some people call themselves experts simply because they workout 15 hours a week and subscribe to several fitness magazines. If someone calls themselves a professional you should inquire what their qualifications are. Generally, most personal trainers have a pretty good idea of how to help you achieve your fitness goals.

Turbulence Training - Scam Or The Real Deal
I assume that you are reading this article because you have
read about the Turbulence Training program but there's some
skepticism over its effectiveness. For this purpose, I would
not waste space by going into details about the program. The
thing I am going to discuss in this article is whether the
Turbulence Training program is for real or a scam.
Here are some of the key points I found out about the Turbulence
Training program:
1. You will lose fat and gain muscle: The ultimate focus of
any individual should be not just to lose fat, but also gain
muscle. This is because muscles are the only things that
can make your body stronger. Muscles also keep fat away;
since muscles demand a lot of energy to maintain them, your
body uses its surplus energy on these muscles instead of
storing it as fat!
With the TT program, you can not only lose weight, but also
gain valuable lean muscle and become healthy and strong.
2. You will need to work on the system at least 3 times per
week: If you expect to see any immediate results from the
Turbulence Training program then this is not for you as
results may take time. Like most other legitimate weight loss
programs, you won't see any results until after a couple of
weeks have passed!
Also like any other weight loss program you need to be
committed to TT. You need to work on the system for at least
three times per week in order to see any tangible results.
If you are not someone who can remain committed to a fitness
program for a considerable time period, then I'm afraid that
TT is not for you.
3. It consists of an intense training and workout program:
Exercises are the focal point of the TT program - intense
exercises at that. However not all body types are suitable
for intense exercises. In order to make sure that you are
fit for the Turbulence Training program, you should consult
with your doctor before starting the program.
4. Made for busy people: If you think it is difficult to
find time for exercises, then the Turbulence Training
program is for you. Since TT uses intense workouts to help
people lose weight, you won't have to spend three or four
hours at a gym. In fact, TT is suited for busy people. With
the TT program the excuse of 'I am to busy' has no substance
because you do not even need a gym.
Based on the above evaluation, and also the fact that it can
help one lose weight successfully, I can safely conclude
that the Turbulence Training program is a completely
legitimate weight loss program that really produces results!

Some Of The Most Popular Ways To Stop Smoking
There's no shortage of methods to stop smoking. But do they
work? Following is an overview of some of the more common
ways to quit. Find out for yourself if they can live up to
their promises.
Pharmaceuticals
Nicotine patches are a popular method for quitting smoking.
They work by slowly decreasing the amount of nicotine that
you ingest each day. This will lessen the withdrawal
symptoms when the nicotine is stopped for good.
A hot new pharmaceutical product is Chantix, a
(http://stopsmoking.walakam.com/important-information-about-the-quit-smoking-pill/)
quit smoking pill. This medication causes the release of
dopamine, a feel good chemical in your brain. The brain
experiences the same effect as if nicotine were present in
your bloodstream. Using this form of treatment, withdrawal
symptoms are virtually nonexistent.
It's important to note that using medications to help you
stop smoking isn't always the complete answer. That's
because it's not just a chemical addiction you're dealing
with. Smoking is also psychologically addictive, which is
equally difficult to deal with.
Quitting Cold Turkey
Most people will try this method first when they decide it's
time to stop smoking. This is a rather brutal approach that
means just stopping; no medications and no slowly tapering
down. Although it's popular, it's not necessarily the most
successful method.
Most people who smoke are addicted to the large quantities
of nicotine that are contained in cigarettes. This is a
highly addictive drug, and withdrawal symptoms appear when
your body is no longer getting it. Quitting cold turkey
heightens the withdrawal effect, and your symptoms will go
on for at least two weeks.
The hard part is to learn how to take your mind off these
symptoms when they come over you. Many people find this too
difficult and eventually give in to their cravings.
Substituting
This technique involves replacing smoking with some other
activity or behavior. Many people have found success by
sucking on hard candy or chewing gum when the urge to smoke
hits. Sometimes this will help to satisfy the oral fixation
by giving your mouth something else to do.
Other people substitute exercise for smoking. When they
crave a cigarette, they simply go for a run or get on an
exercise bike.
Anyone who has ever been a smoker knows how difficult it is
to kick the habit. And anyone who has been successful will
probably tell you that it took several attempts to quit
smoking for good. But it's worth it to keep trying. After
all, your life is on the line.

How To Build Chest Muscles - Maximizing Your Chest Gains
Just about every guy who goes to the gym to build muscle wants to get a huge chest. This is hardly surprising considering the effect that a ripped chest has on the opposite sex (not to mention on other men). There isn't anything really terribly complicated about building a ripped, attention grabbing chest. The foundation for developing your chest muscles is consistency and progressive overloading. If you are willing to put in the effort you too can have a ripped, sexy chest in no time.
The chest muscles actually consist of two sub muscle groups: the pectoralis major and the pectoralis minor. These two sub groups of muscles contained within the chest are where the slang term "pecs" come from, in case you were curious. The secret to maximizing your chest muscle gains lies in the pressing movements used in lifting weights during exercise.
Chest flyes certainly have their occasional place in an overall chest workout program but they pale in comparison to the dramatic anabolic effect of pressing movements. Pressing movements include such exercises as incline chest press, decline chest press, flat bench press, dumbbell presses, and seated dips.
The big secret to getting a ripped chest is that there really are no big secrets or magic spells or mind blowing techniques to stimulate your chest muscles into extraordinary growth. So long as you focus on pressing movements and progressive overloading you will almost certainly see substantial muscular development in your chest area.
In my professional opinion, the following lifts are the most effective for muscle gains in the chest area:
1. Bench Press - This includes all three varieties of bench press including flat, decline, and incline bench press. The bench press is essentially a basic compound movement that will allow you to handle the maximum amount of weight through a specified range of motion. The incline press targets the upper region of the chest while the decline press focuses stress on the lower portion of the chest. The flat bench press simultaneously targets both the upper and lower chest muscles.
2. Dumbbell Bench Press - Again, this includes all three varieties of bench press. The primary advantage of the dumbbell press over the standard bench press is that dumbbells allow for a much more natural range of motion and as such help to prevent shoulder injuries. Additionally, dumbbells also help to prevent strength imbalances since each muscle must work on their own rather than in conjunction with each other. Unfortunately, you will not be able to do as much weight with dumbbells as you would with normal bench press.
3. Seated Dips - If possible make sure to use a wider grip while leaning slightly forward so as to alleviate the stress on the triceps and better target the chest muscles. Seated dips are great because you can adjust the weight according to your specifications in contrast to standing dips where the weight is limited to your body weight.

Shrimps are no longer considered as a dish reserved for the
special occasion only. Now in almost every home it is cooked

little-bit. If it is still fresh from the market then simply
rub the shrimp with baking soda and let it stay in the

Before providing you with an easy shrimp recipe, here are few
tips that one can follow to cook perfect tasty shrimps. The
most important tip is not to let the shrimp overcook
otherwise the shrimp will dry-up and becomes rubbery. In the
boiling method, the shrimp will rise to the top of water to
signal its done. Secondly, sometimes your shrimp smells off a
little-bit. If it is still fresh from the market then simply
rub the shrimp with baking soda and let it stay in the
refrigerator for about ten minutes. Then rinse it thoroughly
and remove the soda completely. Note that if it is giving
off a strong ammonia odor then it is time for you to throw
it away and not use it. Peeling shrimp off when raw is
easier than when cooked.
Below is an easy shrimp recipe that you can follow :
Ingredients needed:
a. 3 tbsp of garlic minced
b. cup of lemon juice
c. 2 tbsp of olive oil
d. cup of parsley(freshly minced)
e. tsp of salt
f. tsp of pepper
g. 1- pounds of cooked shrimps
Place oil and garlic in skillet over medium heat until
fragrant. After this add parsley, lemon juice, pepper and
salt. Transfer to a large bowl and add shrimps. Serve when
chilled.Enjoy!

The Weight Loss Tip That Will Change Your Life
By Henry John
Tell everybody that you're going to lose weight and you will
get inundated with advice. Whoever you talk to will warn you
what not to do and what to be aware of. It can become a bit
of a nightmare. You are left really not knowing what to do.
Which diet should you go on? There is always something new
on the market that is promising to rid you of your excess
weight without you having to lift a finger - and in double
quick time too. Then there are those who pass on their
experience of a program saying it's the best there is - or
is it?
If you are after a quiet life, the best thing you can do if
you want to lose weight is to tell nobody. People don't mean
any harm, in fact they want to support you. They mean well,
but they can also give you a lot of unwanted pressure, which
you can do without.
So, the first thing to do is to keep things to yourself. Do
your own research. Make your own decisions. If you rely too
much on the advice of others you will find out the truth the
hard way.
Don't go on a diet. This is probably the best tip that you
will ever get about losing weight. It sounds strange, but as
far as advice is concerned, it's gold dust!
Did you know that the diet industry is worth over $60
billion. It's huge. Surely it's right to assume that diets
work then? You would think so, but all is not quite as it
seems. Diets only deliver short-term weight loss. The
majority of people who go on diets never achieve permanent
weight loss.
So what's the answer? The simple fact is that if you want to
lose weight permanently you have to change. You have to get
rid of the habits that make you fat. You do this by learning
new ones - slim habits.
Learning new habits is the only sure fire way of making
changes. It means that you can learn new eating and lifestyle
habits that will be with you forever and it will allow you
to take control of your life so that you never have to go on
a diet again.
A speaker and author on dieting, healthy weight loss and how
to stay slim, Henry John's special interest is permanent
weight loss and behavior change. He is committed to
assisting people with weight loss tips and advising them on
the best way to lose weight so that they can achieve

Get In Shape Exercise Tips - Getting In Shape By Setting Goals
If you have never heard of the book "7 Habits Of Highly Effective People" I strongly suggest that you take a look at it some time. While the book is mainly intended as a business book there are nonetheless some very good points that apply to life in general. According to the book, one of the habits of highly effective people is setting goals and sticking to them.
Goal setting is easily one of the greatest keys to attaining success, whether it is financial success or physical fitness success. If it helps, you can kind of your goals as sort of a road map. After all, if you don't have a destination in mind then you are probably never going to get anywhere or make anything happen.
But once you do know where you are going actually getting there and planning the journey becomes much easier. Written goals will help develop your motivation and your persistence to attain those goals. Taking the time to write out your goals will also help you envision the future self that you want to become and light a fire under your rear to actually achieve what you have envisioned.
So what is the best way to go about setting your goals so that you can get in shape and pack on muscle mass? One of the best ways is to follow the formula laid in "7 Habits Of Highly Effective People."
Here is how the formula breaks down:
1. Define exactly what is that you want and don't scrimp on the details
2. Determine what it is you intend to sacrifice to attain what you desire. And yes, attaining goals usually entails sacrifice.
3. Set a realistic date that you intend to achieve your goals.
4. Create a detailed plan of how exactly you intend to achieve your goals and, as with defining your goals, don't scrimp on the details.
5. Compile all of the above into just a few sentences
6. Read the compiled statement out loud at least twice a week.
By following this tried and true goal setting formula you will essentially be implanting into your subconscious mind your conscious goals. In so doing, your muscle building goals will become next to impossible to shake, increasing the probability of actually achieving those goals.

Michael Moore
I had a few posts planned for today, however learning of Michael's passing this last Friday, I will add just the following for today.
Michael Moore is perhaps one of the most preeminent herbalists in the world, and one who has contributed much and influenced many.
I know I relied so much on his work and his help during the years I presented my "Medicinal Uses of Wildflowers"(c) series at the Darrington (WA) Wildflower Festival every summer for a decade.
His books were required reading for my students. His books and the vast amount of information he made available to people were invaluable when I was teaching my Natural Healing for Diabetes programs on reservations in the west. I recommended his work to many health professionals over the years.
Those in medicine who constantly attack us who know the wealth of information about natural healing are well advised to refer to Moore's resources.
Here are some memorials other have posted.

Can Anybody Drink Energy Drinks?
Wait; just before you go get another can of Red Bull, you
need to think about the health consequences of drinking too
many energy drinks in one day, even a healthy energy drink.
While energy drinks are excellent energy boosters and can
give you instant energy, they are supposed to be taken only
as long as you need them. Energy drinks are very common
these days and it is only natural that once you feel a
little low in your energy level, you just go out to get
yourself a can of some kind of energy drink.
This attitude is not good. Energy drinks contain certain
ingredients which when used in accurate quantities can
give you the preferred burst of energy. But it will not last
long and in some cases goes away rapidly and leaves you with
less energy than before.
So when is it better to take energy drinks?
Reports and research have both shown that many people have
the tendency of having energy drinks first thing in the
morning -even before their breakfast. Sadly, because the
side effects are not always immediately noticeable, many
think they can get away with this or just simply believe
that there are no side effects.
It is far better to have an energy drink after you have had
breakfast and require some form of energy boost to get you
by. Therefore, drinking an energy drink first thing in the
morning is certain to get you in the hospital very quickly,
as you will more likely experience repeated bouts of dizziness,
increased pulse rate -also known as tachycardia- continual
headaches, insomnia and restlessness.
Why Are Energy Drinks Capable of Causing Such Side Effects?
The reason for the near instantaneous boost that you get
from taking energy drinks is as a result of the high
content of both sugar and caffeine. While these are sure
components for an amplified energy level, they are not
exactly the quickest way to increase your energy levels on
a consistent basis, nor the healthiest.
The same relates to those who are suffering from diabetes;
the sugar content existing in these drinks is a definite
no-no. So if you have any of these illnesses or related
ailments in spite of how minute or mild they might be, then
energy drinks are not meant for you. As an alternative, you
can build up your water intake and use some other health
remedies.
High Energy drinks are common for body builders and physical
fitness buffs that use them to upsurge their stamina and
develop their performance while they are training. However,
many teenagers take these drinks on a daily basis thus
making it responsible for their hyperactivity and
restlessness.
It is not advisable to have teenagers who are not into high
energy sports activities taking energy drinks, otherwise the
risks involved are that the kids become violent and suffer
what is known as "toxic jock" syndrome as research has
shown.

Bodybuilding Supplements Review - Do Bodybuilders Actually Need To Take Supplements?
If you read through the latest issue of just about any muscle building or fitness magazine you will likely be bombarded by more than 150 ads for a wide variety of dietary supplements. According to the advertisements, every bodybuilder needs to take mass quantities of supplements in order to achieve spectacular muscle gains. But as you surely know, you can not trust what you read in advertisements. The question then is, "are supplements really necessary for big muscle gains?"
This question really depends on how you interpret the word "necessary." Supplements of just about any variety are not necessary for you to become bigger and stronger. High tech supplements are simply not necessary for the average weight lifter to experience substantial muscle gains, regardless of what glitzy ads would have you believe. If you spend 10 or more hours a week training and adhere to a strict diet high in protein and carbs and low in saturated fat and simple sugars you will almost certainly experience an increase in muscle size.
Now lets look at this question another way.
If by the word "necessary" you mean "...necessary to achieve maximum size and strength" then the answer is absolutely yes. Many supplements have been scientifically shown to offer superior muscle gains than bodybuilders who take no supplements at all. Building muscle and spending hours at the gym is very hard work and it therefore seems to make sense to spend an extra few dollars a week on supplements in order to maximize your muscle mass gains.
Ultimately your decision to take supplements depends upon whether or not you want to achieve your maximum size and strength and, if so, how much you are willing to pay to achieve your desired results. Muscle building supplements can be very pricey and it is not uncommon for bodybuilders to spend hundreds of dollars a month on dietary supplements.
The supplements that are the most common amongst bodybuilders are:
1. Muscle Milk Protein
2. Creatine Monohydrate
3. Multivitamins
4. Amino Acids
Also, if you would like to save as much as 50% on supplements then you should take a look on Ebay. An Ebay membership is free and you can easily save a thousand or more dollars a year by buying your supplements on Ebay as opposed to your local vitamin store.

New orthopaedic procedure for faster healing, perhaps
When I developed my xtreme sports formula in 2004, one of the things we discovered in some cases being followed by MDs, is that fracture healing increased between 30-40% when the athletes continued using ADVENTURX.
This wasn't a double blind study (actually these can be manipulated readily to achieve a specific outcome), just based on information received on these cases.
Perhaps it would be beneficial for other non-surgical approaches.

Health Care Industry already sharing health records

If you find a health provider willing to take cash then you have more control over your own records. Just get your files compiled and carry them with you.
Hospital Workers Sharing Music? They May Also Be Sharing Your Medical Records
Health care workers using Gnutella or other peer-to-peer (P2P) networks to share music and video, may be putting you at risk for medical identity theft, Dartmouth researchers find.

Green Living: Clean Food
Green Living is a subject I've been engaged in for a very long time. While I know this is a trendy topic now and a lot of people are trying to get on the band wagon and convince you they are "experts", little seems to be available to really help you if you are outside an urban center with lots of resources or in some tropical location.
If you can't afford going organic there are things you can do, and be healthy. This suggestion comes from a newsletter I receive, and yes peeling food is a helpful process.
Better yet, make a donation to our non-profit organization and receive a copy of our food cleaning 'Healthy Handout'(c)
Youll learn how you don't need to purchase veggie wash products, but how you can make your own and use it to clean a wide array of foods, more than fruits and vegetables.
"If you can't afford organic produce, you can still enjoy great health. If you can't buy organic produce, I would still encourage you to buy non-organic fruits and vegetables and enjoy a full array of different types.
However, I'd also recommend taking some additional steps with the non-organic produce that you purchase. It would be important to wash your non-organic fruit and vegetables well, using a natural bristle brush to lightly scrub the surface, so that you can remove some of the pesticide residues that may be present.
You may also want to peel conventionally grown cucumbers, eggplant, potatoes, and apples. This peeling recommendation is due to two factors. First, the outermost surfaces of fruits and vegetables may be the most affected by pesticide spraying. Second, the above types of produce often have petroleum-based wax coatings that may work against your best health. (The situation with the peeling of non-organic produce is exactly opposite from the situation with organic fruits and vegetables. With organic produce, you almost always want to keep the peels and skins intact because they are among the most nutrient-rich parts of any food.)
Do you have a farmer's market near you? If so, you may want to buy your produce there. Even if the produce you find there is not certified organic, chances are that it may contain less pesticide residues than produce available in larger grocery stores that do not focus on locally grown foods. Many small farmers don't go through the process of organic certification but still grow their produce with minimal, if any, agricultural chemicals."
In 2006, the Environmental Working Group released an updated report that identified foods in the conventional, non-organic food supply that contained the highest number of pesticide residues. The worst offenders, which were nicknamed the "dirty dozen," include:
# Apples
# Bell peppers
# Celery
# Cherries
# Grapes (imported, especially grapes from South American countries)
# Lettuce
# Nectarines
# Peaches
# Pears
# Potatoes
# Spinach
# Strawberries
EWG released an updated version of their report "Shopper's Guide to Pesticides in Produce" in 2006 in which they reported on pesticide residues found on 43 popular fresh fruits and vegetables. This report was based upon an analysis of over 100,000 U.S. government pesticide test results. The following are the 12 fruits and vegetables that they found least likely to have concentrated pesticide residues:
# Asparagus
# Avocados
# Bananas (fungicides are used in Bananas, NHN note)
# Broccoli
# Cabbage
# Corn (frozen)
# Kiwi
# Mangoes
# Onions
# Papaya
# Pineapple

When you eat bananas, melons, or oranges from the supermarket you are ingesting ethyl alcohol, isopropanol, oxidized polyethylene, shellac, propylene glycol, silicone, and sulfur dioxide.
When you eat tomatoes, avocado, peaches, and plums, you are ingesting 2-6-dichloro-4-nitroaniline, botran, ammonia compounds, and dimethylpolyoxane. (see www.garynull.com for information on aniline containing substances)
When you eat sweet potatoes, onions, parsnips, and beets you ingest fungicides imazilil, benomyl, and thiabenzadole. These substances are cancer causing as well as sources of birth defects, mutations, and immune system damage. They cannot be removed by peeling and are used to allow longer shelf life (not fresher or safer food).THE TRUTH ABOUT FOOD WAX

The Physical Symptoms Of Anxiety
The physical symptoms of an anxiety attack are immediately
recognizable to anyone who has experienced this in the past.
Among other symptoms, the person may experience difficulty
breathing, sweating, chest pain, numbness in the
extremities, and uncontrollable shaking. Any combination of
these symptoms, or even experiencing other unusual symptoms,
can accompany an anxiety attack.
Physical symptoms of an anxiety attack can mimic those of a
heart attack or even nervous breakdown. Many people wind up
in the emergency room of a hospital as a result. Although
this step is not really necessary for the panic attack,
people may still benefit from professional care. People who
suffer from severe anxiety may need other alternatives in
dealing with the anxiety.
Researchers believe that the full-blown physical symptoms of
an anxiety attack are linked to the survival 'fight or
flight' response that is an instinctive survival reaction in
most creatures, including humans. In humans, when the brain
perceives a dangerous situation, it releases stress
hormones, primarily cortisol and adrenaline. Physical
manifestations include an energy rush, increased sensitivity
to surroundings and marked aggressiveness. These changes
allow the body to react quickly to a situation and repair
itself quicker if it is injured in some way. However during
an anxiety attack, these manifestations occur for no
apparent reason and the body often absorb or defuse this
change in it's homeostasis. Hence the physical symptoms of
an anxiety attack, as described before.
Recent research suggests that recurring panic attacks are
related to an increased incidence of future stroke or heart
attack. Those who experience a single instance of the
physical symptoms of an anxiety attack without a prior
record of anxiety disorder are not necessarily prone to
cardiovascular issues or any long-term issues. But further
study is needed to determine if repeated panic attacks
actually cause heart problems or are only related to them in
some way.
Doctors speculate that medications commonly prescribed for
anxiety disorder can put the patient at risk of a
cardiovascular event. No matter what, physical symptoms of
anxiety attacks are an indication that something is not
right, and the underlying problem needs to get taken care
of.
Anxiety attacks can be difficult to deal with. Although any
physical symptoms of an anxiety attack may be treated from a
medical standpoint, people still need to address the
underlying cause of the anxiety attack. There are various
therapies available to help people discover and deal with
the stress that is causing the attacks. One effective
therapy that can help a person control their reactions to
stress through sheer willpower is cognitive behavioral
therapy.
Deep breathing, advanced relaxation techniques,
aromatherapy, acupuncture, or massage therapy can help
people address the physical symptoms of an anxiety attack.
Regardless of what others may tell you, it is not easy to
relieve an anxiety attack by simply talking yourself out of
it. Anxiety should be treated as the medical condition that
it is. With proper treatment, people can alleviate the
effects of anxiety.
recognizable to anyone who has experienced this in the past.
Among other symptoms, the person may experience difficulty
breathing, sweating, chest pain, numbness in the
extremities, and uncontrollable shaking. Any combination of
these symptoms, or even experiencing other unusual symptoms,
can accompany an anxiety attack.
Physical symptoms of an anxiety attack can mimic those of a
heart attack or even nervous breakdown. Many people wind up
in the emergency room of a hospital as a result. Although
this step is not really necessary for the panic attack,
people may still benefit from professional care. People who
suffer from severe anxiety may need other alternatives in
dealing with the anxiety.
Researchers believe that the full-blown physical symptoms of
an anxiety attack are linked to the survival 'fight or
flight' response that is an instinctive survival reaction in
most creatures, including humans. In humans, when the brain
perceives a dangerous situation, it releases stress
hormones, primarily cortisol and adrenaline. Physical
manifestations include an energy rush, increased sensitivity
to surroundings and marked aggressiveness. These changes

Another FDA approved drug linked to hazards and death
UPDATE: 9 April - Raptiva is withdrawn from the U.S. market
Contact us for natural health information for psoriasis.

The last sentence tell you that the government wants you to believe that psoriasis is not curable, but they want you to take a drug that does little to help yet may even cause death.
I wonder why it is that some very simple testing for food allergy, especially wheat, and other natural treatments do an excellent job of helping people?

FDA: Psoriasis drug could cause deadly brain infection
NEW:European Medicines Agency discourages new Raptiva prescriptions
Raptiva's product labeling was revised in October to highlight risks
Raptiva is an injection for adults with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis
The drug suppresses T-cells, which makes it decrease immune system function
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The government is warning that taking the psoriasis drug Raptiva could result in serious brain infection and even death.
The Food and Drug Administration cited three confirmed cases, and a possible fourth, of people diagnosed with progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) after being treated with Raptiva.
"Three of those patients have died," the FDA said in a public health advisory. "All four patients were treated with the drug for more than three years."
None was receiving other treatments that suppress the immune system.
Raptiva's product labeling was revised in October to highlight a boxed warning about the risks of life-threatening infections, including PML.
"At that time, the FDA directed Genentech, the manufacturer, to develop a risk evaluation and mitigation strategy (REMS) to include a medication guide to educate patients about the drug's risks," the FDA's advisory says.
In the advisory, issued Thursday, the FDA highlighted the confirmed cases and promised to "take appropriate steps" to ensure that Raptiva's risks do not outweigh its benefits.
The FDA also said it will ensure that patients "are clearly informed of the signs and symptoms of PML" and that health care professionals "carefully monitor patients for the possible development of PML."
Overseas, the European Medicines Agency has gone further, recommending that no new prescriptions for Raptiva be issued and that patients taking the drug talk to their doctors about an alternative.
On Thursday it asked the European Commission to make that recommendation legally binding.
The group's Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use determined "that the benefits of Raptiva no longer outweigh its risks, because of safety concerns, including the occurrence of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy in patients taking the medicine."
It said patients who have been treated with the drug should be "closely monitored for neurological symptoms and symptoms of infection."
"Patients who are currently taking Raptiva should not stop treatment abruptly, but should make an appointment with their doctor to discuss the most appropriate replacement treatment," the agency said.
Raptiva, a once-weekly injection for adults with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis, works by suppressing T-cells -- cells that help fight infection -- in the immune system. Those cells cause the skin inflammation associated with psoriasis.
By suppressing T-cells, Raptiva "decreases the function of the immune system, which increases a patient's susceptibility to infections," the FDA said.
The National Institutes of Health says the prognosis for PML "remains grim; the disease usually lasts for months and 80 percent die within the first six months, although spontaneous improvement has been reported. Those who survive PML can be left with severe neurological disabilities."
Around 6 million to 7 million Americans have psoriasis, which is incurable, the NIH says.
Nutrition and Health
I felt enlivened by the following quote from a physician colleague of mine taken from a recent issue of her newsletter.
She is very correct about the lack of nutrients even in an all organic diet. She is also correct about the deficiency of magnesium that most people truly do experience and how this adds a great weight to health status, or should I say "poor health status".
I certainly get more from this level of confirmation than I do when I read the gibberish from pundit doctors and USDA brain washed dietitians about how vitamins and supplements are just a waste of your money and that eating a good diet will give you all you need, or that organic food isn't worth the expense.
Certainly good dental health comes more from nutrition than fluoride.
And good overall health comes from sound nutrition and supplements used daily or otherwise. Nutrition And Dental Health
Certainly it doesn't come from pharmaceutical drugs.
the REAL Miracle is…
…that modern man gets by as well as he does with so little of this essential nutrient. A hundred years ago — before we depleted our soil with greedy agricultural practices — the average person received at least 500 mg of magnesium a day, according to the US Department of Agriculture.
Without supplementation, in 2009, even on a pure organic diet, you’re looking at only 150 mg at best.

Vitamin Deficiency Underlies Tooth Decay
Malnutrition Causes Much More than Dental Disease
(OMNS, February 19, 2009) Cavities and gum diseases are not often regarded as serious diseases, yet they are epidemic throughout our society, from the youngest of children to the oldest of senior citizens. Research more than suggests that the same good nutrition that prevents cavities and gum diseases may also prevent other illnesses.
Dental caries and gum pathology are frequently associated with serious chronic health problems. Multiple independent studies published after 1990 document this. Cavities are associated with poor mental health [1-4]. Elderly individuals with dementia or Alzheimer's disease had an average of 7.8 teeth with fillings vs. an average of only 2.7 fillings for elderly individuals without dementia [1]. It is likely that the toxic heavy metal mercury, which makes up half of every amalgam filling, is a contributing factor.
A recent authoritative review showed a clear association between cavities and heart diseases [5]. More importantly, this same study showed that people with poor oral health, on average, lead shorter lives. The association between cavities and diabetes is also a subject of active, ongoing research [6-8]. Connections between heart disease, diabetes, and dental decay have been suspected for decades. Many of the scientists who called attention to this have proposed that diets high in sugar and refined carbohydrates were the common cause of these diseases [9-15].
Dental diseases, mental diseases, heart disease, infectious respiratory diseases, and heart disease are all at least partially caused by common failures in metabolism. Such failures are inevitable when there is a deficiency of essential nutrients, particularly vitamins D, C, and niacin.
There is especially strong evidence for a relationship between vitamin D deficiency and cavities. Dozens of studies were conducted in the 1930's and 1940's [16-27]. More than 90% of the studies concluded that supplementing children with vitamin D prevents cavities. Particularly impressive was a study published in 1941 demonstrated the preventative affect of "massive" doses of vitamin D [28]. And yet no subsequent studies in the scientific literature suggested a need to follow up and repeat this work.
Vitamin D deficiency is linked to respiratory infections, cancer, heart disease, diabetes and other ailments [29]. The evidence for vitamin C was reviewed by Linus Pauling [15], and the evidence for niacin was reviewed by Abram Hoffer [30].
Obtaining vitamins in sufficient doses to help prevent dental disease is safe and easily accomplished. Between 5,000 and 15,000 IU of vitamin D may be obtained from modest exposure to sunshine in the middle of the day. Recommending that people regularly use the capacity of their skin to make vitamin D is common sense. Certainly 1,000 to 2,000 IU per day of vitamin D in supplemental form is safe. 2,000 milligrams per day of vitamin C, and hundreds of milligrams per day of niacin, help prevent tooth and mouth troubles. Sick individuals, and those who are prone to cavities, will typically benefit by starting with higher doses of vitamin D, vitamin C, and niacin under the supervision of an orthomolecular physician.
We believe that individuals taking these nutrients, along with good dental care, will have dramatically fewer cavities and gum operations than individuals just getting good dental care. This idea is easily tested, and the time has come to do so.

Want To Live A Better Life? Help The Environment
If you start to live green now you will be adding more time
to your life because natural food is better for your health.
It is also better for the environment. Eating naturally
grown food and walking more will definitely improve anyone's
health. There are many more things you can do to improve your
health and at the same time make the earth a greener place
to live.
There are several ways you can live a greener life that
are easy to implement. Most cities have garbage services
that pick up recyclable materials in addition to your trash.
It is simple to set up a separate container for cardboard,
plastics and other recyclables. On trash day, your garbage
service takes it away and does all the hard work of
recycling all those materials.
Try to drive less. By combining your errands, you not only
save fuel and reduce the traffic on the roads; you are
giving yourself less stress from dealing with traffic jams
and other drivers. Carpool or use public transit when you
can. If you choose to ride a bike or walk for some of your
errands, you also get needed exercise. This will help keep
your heart healthy and keep you limber and toned.
Instead of tossing everything in the garbage, try tossing it
on a compost pile to fertilize your garden in the spring. It
will save you money because you won't have to go to the
store and buy organic fertilizer, in fact it may even save
you a trip to the store. Throw all the old vegetables and
fruit in and any clippings you have from cooking in the
pile. Coffee grounds, egg shells, leaves and grass can all
go in the compost pile. Do not put in meat or bones as it
will attract insects and takes too long to decompose. Hose
down the pile occasionally to keep it from drying out; it
won't break down as well if it is dry.
There is a lot you can do in your home to get more green.
Open up the curtains and let the light in. Natural light is
the best light to see by and you can avoid using energy by
leaving your lights off more. Start using the new compact
fluorescent light bulbs and stop wasting money and energy on
the standard bulbs. These bulbs will last much longer and
use less energy. You will love not having to change light
bulbs all the time.
Small things like recycling cans, bottles and plastic
packaging helps lower your garbage bills and helps reduce
your carbon footprint. Use cloth bags when you shop instead
of taking their paper or plastic bags. Some stores even
knock off a few cents when you use your own bags. All of
this will help reduce pollution, which is healthier for you
because you'll be breathing cleaner air.
Once you get started, you'll be amazed at how easy it is to
live greener. You'll be amazed at how much better you feel?
both physically and mentally. Plus, you'll feel better
knowing you're doing your part to have a healthier planet to
live on. So go ahead? live greener and live longer. You'll
be happy you gave it a try.

Sure Still Sounds like HillaryCare to me
The insurance industry lobbyists are hard at work...and consider that the next HHS batter up at the plate is a former insurance commissioner.
I don't know about you but to me it really is time for people to take back control of their health, understand their rights, and not allow the Draconian plan promulgated by the current administration embedded in the "stimulus" plan to make any headway.
All you will get is rationed care according to a very low level of "protocol standards of care" cookie-cutter treatment. It will be drug oriented thanks to Big Pharma and there will be NO inherent interest for your health, well being or cure.
"The aim here is not to move away from the private insurance industry," said Dr. James Mongan, president and CEO of Partners HealthCare System Inc in Massachusetts, who headed the Commonwealth Fund commission that drafted the proposal.

New U.S. health insurance program envisioned
By Will Dunham Thu Feb 19, 2009
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A prominent private U.S. health policy group on Thursday proposed creating a major new public health program and government-operated insurance exchange as part of a plan to expand coverage and rein in health care costs.
The Commonwealth Fund, a leading private health policy research group, unveiled a comprehensive plan for changing a U.S. health care system that is the world's most expensive yet lags many other nations in important measures of quality.
They hope the Obama administration and lawmakers consider the ideas as they move forward this year with plans for major changes in the health care system. This plan is one of many being advanced as U.S. policymakers move toward action.
The proposal favors a mix of public and private insurance options over the idea of a fully government-run health system.
Every American would be required to have some form of public or private health insurance, and one choice would be a new nationwide government program for anyone under 65, the age when eligibility for the existing Medicare program begins.
More than 40 million people would be expected initially to sign up for the new program, the group's Cathy Schoen said.
The government would also operate an insurance exchange similar to the one run by the state of Massachusetts, giving people the option of comparing coverage and choosing among a menu of private insurers or the new public program.
The plan envisions wide adoption of health information technology, greater disease prevention efforts and insurance payment changes that reward efficiency and penalize waste.
Commonwealth Fund leaders said their proposal is designed to achieve nearly universal insurance coverage while enhancing the quality of the health care system and controlling costs.
"The aim here is not to move away from the private insurance industry," said Dr. James Mongan, president and CEO of Partners HealthCare System Inc in Massachusetts, who headed the Commonwealth Fund commission that drafted the proposal.
U.S. Census Bureau figures show 15 percent of Americans had no health insurance in 2007, a total of 45.7 million people. Within two years, only about 4 million Americans would remain uninsured under the new proposal.
Americans spent $2.2 trillion on health care in 2007, according to a government report released in January, representing 16.2 percent of U.S. gross domestic product.
Health spending would continue to increase, but the rate of increase would be slower than current projections over the next decade. The plan would reduce annual growth from a projected 6.7 percent to 5.5 percent and save a cumulative total of about $3 trillion by 2020, the Commonwealth Fund said.

Beginner Weight Lifting Program - 4 Things Every Weight Lifting Routine Needs
Building muscle goes beyond just lifting heavy weights over and over again. In reality, a great weight training routine actually has several dimensions. When trying to build lean muscle mass you always need to remember proper diet, weekly cardio exercises, maintaining proper hydration, and resting 8 to 10 hours each and every day.
That being said, here are 3 things every good weight lifting program must include to be successful:
1. Warm Ups - A good muscle building workout program should always include a warm up routine. Warming up aids in muscle building by circulating blood through the muscle prior to heavy lifting and, most importantly, helps to reduce the risk of serious injury during weight lifting. To begin your warm up start off with 3-6 minutes of light cardio exercise, running or even a few minutes on an elliptical machine should do the trick. Next, lift 50% of your max weight on every exercise you intend to do approximately 10 times. This means you need to do pne warm up set on every exercise you intend to do.
2. Divide Your Workout - All of your exercises should be split up by body parts over the course of a week. You should never attempt to do all of your exercises in just 2 or 3 sessions. You should limit your workout routines to no more than 2 muscle groups every day. For example, one one day you could do your legs and abdominal muscles, on another day you could do your biceps and triceps, and on another day you could do shoulder and back. If you are doing very heavy weight then you should really limit yourself to just one muscle group per day.
3. Work Yourself To Exhaustion - Muscles are developed by a process called "progressive overload." This is just a very fancy way of describing doing more reps or more weight or both every time you workout. In other words, you are not really going to build any muscle mass if you bench press 150 pounds 10 times over and over again. Exhaustion occurs when you can no longer safely perform a given exercise anymore. By working to exhaustion you will be overloading the muscles thereby helping muscle tissue to form on your body.

How To Set Up A Home Gym
So you've made the decision to set up a personal gym in your
home. Good for you! There are lots of home gyms out in the
market that also doubles as functional trainers. But what
exactly makes them better than just the average home gym
most people have? Well, let's find out.
Most functional home trainers are much easier to use than
traditional home gyms. It's intuitive designs make them
easier to figure out, as opposed to your regular home gym
machines that take a lot of time to get used to.
Functional trainers significantly lower the learning curve
required to adapt to a regular home gym, and also offers an
assortment of charts showing several easy exercises to start
you off. You can also increase the difficulty in these
exercises as you progress.

more compact than your average home gym. It makes it easier
to store in closets or small spaces, which is ideal if you
don't have a lot of free space, as in a condo.
Functional trainers also offer a lot more diversity compared
to older, more traditional home gyms. It offers a wider

your muscles in a multitude of ways.
And best of all, functional trainers also give you a better
deal for your money, compared to older, more traditional
home gym models. A functional trainer may retail at just
about the same price as a standard home gym, but just the
fact that it is more compact and lets you do more types of
exercises is ideal. You get more for your money for the
same price.

home. Good for you! There are lots of home gyms out in the
market that also doubles as functional trainers. But what
exactly makes them better than just the average home gym
most people have? Well, let's find out.
Most functional home trainers are much easier to use than
traditional home gyms. It's intuitive designs make them
easier to figure out, as opposed to your regular home gym
machines that take a lot of time to get used to.
Functional trainers significantly lower the learning curve
required to adapt to a regular home gym, and also offers an
assortment of charts showing several easy exercises to start
you off. You can also increase the difficulty in these

More problems for Women's Health
The difficulty here from my perspective is that you aren't being told that anyone treated for any type of cancer can later develop other cancers. Usually people are told that if they achieve the 5 year window successfully following treatment they are cancer free. The other side of this is that if you do develop cancer again after the end of the 5 year window, it is statistically interpreted as a "new"cancer, although that may not in fact be the case.
What I wonder is why don't more women get told about the real and effective benefits from herbs and other nutritional supplements along with diet that will off set menopausal symptoms bone loss concerns. At time is is important to consider liver health because of its role in recycling neurotransmitters and detoxification, all interfered with by chemotherapy and other synthetic hormone pharmaceuticals.

Menopause drug linked to breast cancer relapse
Tue Feb 17, 2009
PARIS (AFP) – A synthetic steroid used to treat menopause symptoms and prevent osteoporosis significantly increases the risk of a relapse in breast cancer patients, according to a study released Tuesday.
The steroid, called tibolone, should not be prescribed to a woman who has had or is suspected of having breast cancer, concluded the study, published in the British medical journal The Lancet Oncology.
Women with breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy are often beset with the debilitating symptoms of menopause, including hot flushes, night sweats, and bone loss.
Tibolone is licensed for use in 90 countries for alleviating these symptoms, and 55 countries have approved its use in treating osteoporosis, according to the study.
But concern that the drugs might also cause a recurrence of cancer have led to their being ruled out for patients with breast cancer.
Still, many patients with breast cancer use the drug -- often available without prescription -- to counteract the effects of menopause.
In clinical trials led by Peter Kenemans of the VU University Medical Centre in Amsterdam, 3,098 women who had been surgically treated for breast cancer and who were experiencing hot flushes along with other related symptoms were divided into two groups.
The first was given a daily dose of 2.5 milligrammes of tibolone, and the second a look-alike placebo.
Just over 10 percent of the women who had taken the dummy medication suffered a cancer relapse, compared to more than 15 percent of the women who had taken the steroid -- an increased risk of 40 percent.
Seventy percent of the recurrences among the tibolone group were so-called "distant metastatses," which are invariably fatal.
The increased risk was so pronounced that the trial was stopped six months early.
"Although the trial was intended to show the non-inferiority of tibolone compared with placebo, the findings clearly show that -- although effective against hot flushes -- tibolone does increase the risk of breast-cancer recurrence," the study said.

Overlooked Health Consequences
UPDATE: 9 March 2010
Shingles is readily treated and resolved with herbal compounds. Historically Black Walnut tincture was used to apply externally to the patches, although I have found that Valerian root tincture can be effective. Valerian may be taken inernally to help with the pain, and St. John's Wort, an effective anti-vital herbal tincture, may be used alone or in combination with Valerain for pain and help fighting the virus.
Flower essence of Impatiens can be an adjuct treatment, as in the original development of Bach's remedies he found in his hospital provings that Impatiens essence was as effective as morphine, yet it had no untoward effects.
Virus infections may be contributing factor in onset of gluten intolerance

Shingles 'risk' of arthritis drugI have known for decades the benefits of cod liver oil for arthritis. Seems funny that it has taken so long to reach the hallowed halls of the BBC.
Some popular treatments for rheumatoid arthritis could increase the risk of the painful condition shingles, a German study suggests.
Anti-TNF (anti-tumour necrosis factor alpha) therapy drugs can slow the progress of disease and help to reduce some of the worst symptoms.
But some of them may make patients more vulnerable to shingles, a skin disease which produces sore, itchy blisters.
Writing in JAMA, the authors advised patients on such drugs be monitored.
The team at the Rheumatism Research Centre in Berlin analysed data from more than 5,000 patients on different forms of treatment.
There were 86 outbreaks of shingles - triggered by the virus Herpes zoster - among 82 patients. Thirty-nine of these coincided with treatment with the anti-TNF drugs adalimumab and infliximab.
Etanercept, a protein therapy, and conventional disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs were associated with 23 and 24 cases respectively.
Watchful eye
After adjusting for the age of the patient, the severity of their illness and their use of steroid hormone therapies, researchers found that the risk for patients on the anti-TNF programme almost doubled.“ All drugs which damp down the immune response run the risk of increased risk of infection ”Although this was beneath the threshold of clinical significance, which would be an increase of more than double, the researchers, led by Dr Anja Strangfeld, said their findings suggested doctors should be on the look out for shingles in the patients they treat with these drugs.
Professor Alan Silman
Arthritis Research Campaign
"Based on our data, we recommend careful monitoring of patients treated with monoclonal anti-TNF-alpha antibodies for early signs and symptoms of Herpes zoster," they wrote in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
Shingles is the reactivation of the virus infection that causes chickenpox. After a person has had the infection, usually as a child, the virus remains in their body and can return, usually after the age of 50.
It often first manifests as pain, itching or tingling in an area of skin on one side of the body or face before developing into a rash. Many continue to suffer chronic nerve pain once the rash has subsided.
A weakened immune system is thought to be one of the triggers, and it is suggested that this may be why anti-TNF drugs could have this effect.
"All drugs which damp down the immune response run the risk of increased risk of infection; steroids being a well known example," said Professor Alan Silman, medical director of the Arthritis Research Campaign.
"Shingles is also a rare but well recognised complication of immune drugs used to treat both autoimmune disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis as well as cancers. This distressing but fortunately treatable infection is likely to be increased in incidence in anti-TNF treated patients."

Cod oil 'cuts arthritis drug use'
A daily dose of cod liver oil can cut painkiller use in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, a study suggests.
Taking 10g of cod liver oil a day reduced the need for non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) by 30%, Dundee University researchers say.
Concerns about side-effects of NSAIDs has prompted research into alternative.
Rheumatologists said the study, in Rheumatology journal, funded by Seven Seas, was small but showed fish oil could benefit some patients.
Patients in the trial were either given cod liver oil or placebo and after 12 weeks asked to gradually reduce their use of NSAIDs, such as ibuprofen.“ Anything that can help to reduce NSAID use is going to be safer for patients ”Almost 60 patients completed the nine-month trial which found 39% taking cod liver oil reduced their daily dose of NSAIDs compared with 10% taking a placebo.
Dr Andrew Bamji, British Society for Rheumatology
The reduction in drug use was not associated with any worsening of pain or the disease, the researchers reported.
The research team at the University of Dundee, aided by colleagues at the University of Edinburgh, have now completed three studies which have all shown patients are able to cut down their NSAID use when taking cod liver oil.
It is thought fatty acids in the fish oil have anti-inflammatory properties.
Side-effects
Some side-effects of NSAIDs, such as an increased risk of stomach bleeding have been known for a long time.
But more recently, concerns have been raised about an apparent increased risk of heart attacks and strokes in those taking the drugs.
Study leader Professor Jill Belch said the study offered hope to many rheumatoid arthritis patients who wanted to reduce the amount of pain medication they take.
"Every change in medication should be discussed with a GP but I would advise people to give cod liver oil a try for 12 weeks alongside their NSAIDs and then try to cut it down if they can manage it but if they don't manage it, that's fine.
"If you can get off NSAIDs it will be much safer."
National Rheumatoid Arthritis Society chief executive Ailsa Bosworth said: "People with rheumatoid arthritis still rely heavily on NSAIDs, even though the safety of these drugs is under scrutiny.
"We look forward to more research in this area."
British Society for Rheumatology president Dr Andrew Bamji said it was a small study so difficult to draw firm conclusions.
But he added: "Anything that can help to reduce NSAID use is going to be safer for patients.
"It does look as if the results are positive and that is quite interesting.
"I would say to patients by all means take cod liver oil and when you feel ready start to reduce your NSAID dose."
But he stressed that patients must discuss plans with their doctor because it was important that physicians were aware of all medications and supplements the patient was taking.

TV adverts make me angry.
One reason is because I do not think these ads should be on TV. Secondly I think the ads are disease mongering and an effort to increase profits for Big Pharma.
One new ad I saw the other day while flipping channels, since I am not a TV addict or fan, was an ad for Humira in the treatment of psoriasis.
Notwithstanding, Humira is used as a treatment for rheumatoid arthritis and other so described "auto-immune" disorders.
Humira(adalimumab) is a recombinant human IgG1 monoclonal antibody specific for human tumor necrosis factor (TNF). This means it is a genetically modified product, that in itself creates a plethora of problems.
Humira has a Black Box warning for the risk of tuberculosis. Other serious sided effects may include serious infections, neurologic reactions and malignancies. More information may be found in the professional section at RxList.com.
I'm in the midst of writing the January issue of my opt-in newsletter, herbalYODA Says! The topic happens to be detoxification and as part of my research I came across an interesting piece of information about non-Celiac gluten sensitivity.
I happen to be someone with gluten and gliaden sensitivity. I have many other food allergies which I attribute to certain situations I experienced in the last couple of decades which took a pretty devastating toll on my adrenals.
I'd say there were some other factors because my father had psoriasis. It isn't something I have but I have helped many people who lived with this condition, from mild to severe, to resolve their case.
This of course alerts me to the fact that I probably should not ever have had bread. It also has to do with heritage and the metabolic typing as developed by William D. Kelley, DDS.
Simply what this means is that there are certain symptoms of gluten and gliaden intolerance, even if you do not have Crohn's.
Conditions Often Associated With Gluten Sensitivity
From 'Going Against the Grain' (Chicago, IL: Contemporary Books, 2002) by Melissa Diane Smith
Autism
Autoimmune diseases
Chronic neurological conditions of unknown cause
Dermatitis herpetiformis (a blistery, itchy skin disease)
Downs syndrome
Epilepsy and/or a personal history of migraine headaches, hyperactivity and/or digestive problems
Frequent unexplained headaches
Osteoporosis and other bone diseases unresponsive to conventional treatment
Infertility and pregnancies of poor outcome
Insulin-dependent (type I) diabetes
Intestinal lymphoma or esophageal cancer
Psoriasis
Schizophrenia
Sjogren’s disease (dry-eye, dry-skin syndrome)
I find it interesting that Sjogren's is on this list along with psoriaisis, as Humira is often prescribed for Sjrogren's as well.
I noted in some other data that esophageal cancer is related to gluten intolerance (wheat allergy) and the articles I found on this date back to the 1970s.
This is the long way around but if you have any of these health issues perhaps you want to demand your doctor to order some food allergy testing, and re-consider Humira.
Or at least ask why your health care provider missed this one.
If your doctor looks at you like you are crazy then refer them to this study -The innate immune system is an old system (evolutionarily speaking) that predates the antibody-producing “adaptive immune system” and nonspecifically defends against pathogens.or have them look up the work of Kenneth Fine, MD or Alessio Fasano, M.D.
Biopsies from 5 out of 6 patients showed an IL-15 response to at least one gliadin fragment. The implication is that the majority of people have an immune response to wheat, even if they don’t have Celiac disease. The reason they aren’t diagnosed as Celiac patients is they don’t have circulating anti-gliadin antibodies (and they presumably don’t yet have severe structural damage to their intestinal tract as judged by biopsy or endoscopy), but as the paper shows, people can react to gluten without producing antibodies via the innate immune system.
This is the first time that an IL-15-mediated innate response to gliadin is described in individuals without celiac disease. The authors of the study believe that “gluten elicits its harmful effect, throughout an IL-15 innate immune system response on all the individuals. This innate response is found in both patients with and without celiac disease.” However, in patients with celiac disease, an adaptive response to gluten also takes place.
Study reference: Bernardo D, Garrote JA, Fernandez-Salazar L, et al. Is gliadin really safe for non-coeliac individuals? Production of interleukin 15 in biopsy culture from non-coeliac individuals with gliadin peptides. Gut, 2007;56:889-890.
Six people in the study had symptoms including gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), hiatal hernia, colic, abdominal pain, diarrhea and chronic gastritis. How many people have these conditions and take medications for them instead of considering that the bread, pasta and other wheat products they are eating may be the culprit behind their problems?
There is just more here than meets the eye - "Many gluten-sensitive make the mistake of substituting too many non-gluten grains (rice, corn, millet, buckwheat, quinoa, amaranth and teff) and sugars in place of gluten grains. This can lead to carbohydrate sensitivity and conditions such as Syndrome X and type II diabetes. To prevent the development of a new health problem, emphasize vegetables, such as salad greens, broccoli, green beans and asparagus, in place of gluten grains."
If you are interested in food allergy testing, the same system I used to uncover mine, please contact us.
By the way, one of my original teachers in natural healing always taught that RA and gluten allergy go hand-in-hand.
Certainly altering your nutrition and food plan first can do a lot before you succumb to another dangerous drug, and it just might heal your condition.
