11/21/09- Mammogram Debate- A government-appointed panel said last week, that women generally should begin routine mammograms in their 50s, rather than their 40s — sparking cries of outrage and claims a taxpayer-funded health care option wouldn't pay for the screenings. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force issued its recommendations on Nov. 16, saying getting screened for breast cancer so early and so often leads to too many false alarms and unneeded biopsies without substantially improving women's odds of survival

11/21/09- What's in a regular flu shot?


Egg proteins: including avian contaminant viruses 

Gelatin: known to cause allergic reactions and anaphylaxis are usually

associated with sensitivity to egg or gelatin 

Polysorbate 80 (Tween80™): can cause severe allergic reactions,

including anaphylaxis

Formaldehyde: known carcinogen 

Triton X100: a strong detergent 

Sucrose: table sugar

Resin: known to cause allergic reactions

Gentamycin: an antibiotic 

Thimerosal: mercury is still in multidose vials

Is the Swine Flu Vaccine Safe?

A new report from a WHO advisory group predicts that global production of vaccine for the novel H1N1 influenza virus could be as much as 4.9 billon doses a year, far higher than previous estimates.

The report says that vaccine makers are expected to produce about 780 million doses of seasonal flu vaccine for the northern hemisphere's 2008-09 flu season for the 

June 12 Announcement: 

The new H1N1 (swine flu) vaccine is going to be made by Novartis. It will probably be made in PER.C6 cells (human retina cells) and contain MF59, a potentially debilitating adjuvant. MF-59 is an oil-based adjuvant primarily composed of squalene, Tween 80 and Span85.

All oil adjuvants injected into rats were found toxic. All rats developed an MS-like disease that left them crippled, dragging their paralyzed hindquarters across their cages. 

Squalene caused severe arthritis (3 on scale of 4). Squalene in humans at 10-20 ppb (parts per billion) lead to severe immune responses, such as autoimmune arthritis and lupus.

Federal health officials will probably recommend that most Americans get three flu shots this fall: one regular flu shot and two doses of any vaccine made against the new swine flu strain.

Protect Yourselves and your Family from  Swine Flu http://www.russellblaylockmd.com/

  • This flu is transmitted mostly by physical contact rather than by being exposed to coughing by infected individuals. You can use a hand sanitizer and clean commonly used surfaces, such as computer keyboards, telephone speakers, countertops and door handles with sanitizer cloths.
  • Avoid exhaustion and extreme exercise, both of which lower immunity and greatly increase one’s risk of serious reactions to the infection and even death. Get at least 8 ours of good sleep each night.
  • Avoid foods that suppress immunity, such as high sugar intake and consuming foods or cooking in oils that suppress immunity and increase inflammation—such as the omega-6 oils—corn, safflower, sunflower, canola, peanut and soybean oils.
  • Avoid excessive intake of omega-3 containing EPA (anything over 100 mg per serving). EPA is a powerful immune suppressant, even though it reduces inflammation. This increases your risk of getting infected and having difficulty clearing the infection. The DHA component of the oil does not appreciably suppress immunity, but significantly reduces inflammation.
  • If you are exposed to people in high-risk situations, such as in crowded offices, theaters, airplanes and other forms of public transportation, take beta-1,3/1,6 glucan 250 mg every other day. It is to be taken on an empty stomach with any liquid. If you began to feel ill, take the beta-glucan every day until your illness clears and then every other day for one week afterwards.
  • Take a well-balanced vitamin/mineral. This will supply you with all the vitamins needed to support immunity, which is especially important for those over age 50—the age of nutrient-based, aged-associated immune suppression. Take the vitamin capsule with each meal.
  • Vitamin D3. Children and pregnant women should take 2000 IU a day and adults should take 5000 IU once to twice a day. You should also take 500 mg of calcium citrate a day.
  • Mixed Tocopherols (Vitamin E) that is high in gamma-tocopherol, the anti-inflammatory form of the vitamin. The dose is 400 IU a day.
  • Buffered vitamin C 1000 mg three times a day taken on an empty stomach to prevent excess iron absorption. One should avoid taking iron supplements during infection, since it worsens the infection.
  • Curcumin 250 mg and quercetin 250 mg dissolved in one tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil. This greatly reduces inflammation and autoimmune development and has direct antiviral effects by inhibiting protein kinase C. Take the mixture three times a day with meals. It can be mixed with foods as desired.
  • Avoid all fluoride products, such as fluoridated mouthwashes, toothpaste and fluoride treatments. Fluoride has been shown to increase flu virus budding, making it easier to produce more virus within your body. It is also a cellular toxin.
  • Avoid other sources of mercury, such as contaminated seafoods and other mercury-containing vaccinations. Dental amalgams, in my view, should be removed by a specially trained dentist (see www. IAOMT.com for a list of such dentists). Mercury greatly increases one’s risk of developing an autoimmune disease and suffering from neurological damage.
  • Avoid smoking. Smoking damages the protective cells lining the lungs and nicotine is a very powerful immune suppressant. This is also true for nicotine patches and gums.
  • Keep well hydrated. Drinking several glasses or cups of strong white tea (either as iced tea or hot tea) a day also reduces viral growth and protects the lungs against viral and bacterial damage.
  • Eat a diet containing at least 5 servings of high-density fruits and vegetables, both raw and cooked. Avoid a high intake of breads and other high-glycemic foods. Avoid excessive red meats and eat more chicken and turkey that is organically raised.

Why Revenge Is a Dish Best Not Served

By Jonathan Vatner

 
When the (person) in the next office lies about you to your boss or you catch your (significant other)  flirting online, the way to make it all better is with a little well-earned payback, right? Think again. Recent research says you'll be better off turning the other cheek. Here's why:

1. Revenge doesn't make us feel better.
In a study conducted at Colgate University in Hamilton, New York, students played a game in which a player was revealed at the end to be a traitor. One group was allowed to force the rat to forfeit part of his winnings—which most players did—while another was denied that option. Yet the results showed that the punishers wound up stewing longer and feeling more agitated over the outcome than those who didn 't exact revenge.

2. It's not a strategy of highly effective people.
An analysis of a study of more than 20,000 Germans found that people who cared about seeking revenge had fewer close friends, were more likely to be unemployed, and were less happy than people who were eager to grant favors. Think Ted Kaczynski.

3. It creates a vicious cycle.
At SUNY College at Potsdam, New York, a survey of students who were on either the giving or receiving end of vindictive actions determined that avengers generally perceived their actions as fair, while victims typically saw the retaliation as excessive—which could lead to further escalation of a feud.
