Contaminated Flouride in USA water supply

A report indicating that the majority of the fluoride that is added to water supplies within the United States is supplied by China and is contaminated with heavy metals according to a warning by Bernard Miltenberger, president of Pure Water Committee of western maryland.

In a letter published in the Cumberland Times-News, Miltenberger notes that he first became aware of the issue in an engineering report for the city of Boulder, Colo. The report noted that the fluoridation chemicals used for the city's water had been evaluated, and were found to contain lead levels of 40 milligrammes per bag and arsenic levels of 50 milligrammes per bag. The bags were being imported from China under no regulatory monitoring of acid or salt content.

Young unmarried men around the world unaware of Hypertension

Younger, unmarried men around the world are least likely to be aware of hypertension (high blood pressure) and less likely to be receiving treatment.  Whereas older women, are most aware of hypertension according to data presented today at the World Congress of Cardiology (WCC) Scientific Sessions in Beijing, China.

Interim analysis of ~150,000 participants from 17 countries in the Prospective Urban and Rural Epidemiological Study (PURE) also revealed that awareness rates were similar in urban (57 per cent) and rural areas (54 per cent) in high-income countries.  However, awareness rates were lower in rural areas (45 per cent) of low-income countries compared with urban areas (56 per cent).

The truth about MSG

In 1969 Dr. John Olney was conducting experiments on mice using MSG (monosodium glutamate). (Mice are frequently used as test animals because they react most like humans to MSG). He was studying the microscopic changes in the brains of these mice when his assistant noticed that all of the mice given MSG had become grossly obese. They first thought it was a fluke but as the experiments continued he noticed that indeed all of the mice that were fed MSG became grossly obese.

Green tea may help fight glaucoma and other diseases

Their new report, the first documenting how the lens,retina, and other eye tissues absorb thee substances, raises the possibility that green tea may protect against glaucoma and other common eye diseases.

Being happy and staying possitive may help ward off heart disease

Being happy and staying positive may help ward off heart disease, a study suggests. US researchers monitored the health of 1,700 people over 10 years, finding the most anxious and depressed were at the highest risk of the disease.They could not categorically prove happiness was protective, but said people should try to enjoy themselves. But experts suggested the findings may be of limited use as an individual's approach to life was often ingrained. At the start of the study, which was published in the European Heart Journal, participants were assessed for emotions ranging from hostility and anxiousness to joy, enthusiasm and contentment.

Acupuncture for fertility treatment slamed by Professor for secondary gain

Once again Prof Edzard Ernst, professor of complementary medicine at the Peninsula Medical School, has dismissed another complementary therapy, this time he has chosen to slam the use of acupuncture for fertility treatment.

Professor Ernst's not only the professor of complementary medicine he is also a member of the Medicines Commission in the UK for the last ten years. I believe this is why his research  has so much disregard for complementary medicine, why would he want to help patients recover faster through treating the causes of disease (through the complementary medicine approach); when patients can spend a lifetime on pharmaceutical products masking the symptoms. Complementary medicine has a different approach in treating patients with infertility, though this is not shown in any of prof Ernst's research.

Back pain may not only be the result of physical injury but an emotional problem manifesting on a physical plain

Back pain can be a debilitating ailment, and our perception of this problem can mainly be that its an injury sustained by physical activity or long periods of time in an unsupported position. Where in some situations this can be true in others its not, take stress and anxiety for instance, if a person is stressed their shoulders may begin to rise and their back hunches, a physical response to an emotional symptom.

In conventional medicine the only solution a GP has for the agony of back pain is a prescription of pain suppressing drugs and regular visits to the physiotherapist.
