Thermograms are a Much Safer Alternative to Mammograms

(NaturalNews) After a lifetime of mind indoctrination and brainwashing by the disease establishment, it’s often next to impossible to break away. We have been taught throughout our lives that the answer to our physical problems resides in our doctor’s office. We’ve been made to believe that science reveals all answers and our own innate common sense is worth nothing. It is just this type of mind control that compels women to line up for mammograms, even though their common sense tells them that radiation causes cancer. The good news is that now there is a much safer alternative scientifically proven to be effective at early detection. For women who feel they must spend their time looking for lumps, two recent studies have documented the value of thermography

Breast thermography uses heat to detect abnormalities

The thermogram is a test using heat radiating from your own body to detect problems in the breast. It involves no contact with the body, no compression, and is completely painless. A thermogram combines advanced digital technology with ultra-sensitive infrared camera imaging. It does not use radiation, and can be done as frequently as anyone thinks is necessary. Thermograms work by creating infra-red images (heat pictures) that are then analyzed to find asymmetries anywhere in the chest and underarm area. Any abnormality that causes change in heat production is seen on a thermogram, so any source of inflammation such as infection, trauma to the breast, and even sun burn will cause abnormality in the thermal picture.

Breast thermography detects patterns of heat generated by the increased circulation produced by abnormal metabolic activity in cancer cells. This activity occurs long before a cancer starts to invade new tissue. A breast thermogram has the ability to identify a breast abnormality five to ten years before the problem can be found on a mammogram.

There’s science behind this process

Normal tissue that is non-cancerous has a blood supply under the control of the autonomic nervous system. This system can either increase or decrease blood flow to cells. However, abnormal tissue indicating cancer or pre-cancer ensures its own survival by secreting chemicals that override the autonomic nervous system regulation, thereby creating its own steady blood supply. Cancers can be thought of as off the power grid of the body.

When a woman’s hands are placed in cold water, an autonomic nervous system reflex occurs in the breasts. This reflex causes the blood vessels in non-cancerous tissue to constrict, but does not result in constriction of blood vessels supplying any cancerous growth. The resulting difference in blood flow can result in cancer showing up as ‘hot spots’ on thermograms.

A study reported in the American Journal of Surgery, October edition, included 92 women who had undergone a breast biopsy based on prior mammogram or ultrasound results. 60 of the biopsies were malignant, and 34 were benign (two of the women had two biopsies). These women were then given thermograms. Results indicted the thermograms identified 58 of the 60 malignancies for a sensitivity rate of 97%.

Another study reported in the May-June edition of the Journal of Medical Engineering and Technology, reported a study of 15 women with palpable breast cancers who were preoperatively thermogrammed with three different infrared cameras – micro bolometer, quantum well, and photo voltaic - to compare the ability of these cameras to differentiate breast cancer from normal tissue. The quantum well and the photo voltaic cameras demonstrated the frequency difference between normal and cancerous breast tissue, with the photo voltaic camera displaying the greater clarity. The researchers reported that with selected image processing operations, more detailed frequency analyses could be applied to any suspicious area.

What goes on during a breast thermogram

Thermograms are taken at thermography centers. The woman disrobes above the waist and acclimates to room temperature for ten minutes after which the first of two series of images of the breasts is taken. Then the woman places her hands in cold water for one minute, after which the second set of images is taken. The images are evaluated by thermologists using signs and criteria established by the American Academy of Thermology to interpret thermogram data.

Breast thermograms do not diagnose breast cancer. They simply detect physiological changes in breast tissue that have been shown to correlate with the presence of cancer or pre-cancerous states as do mammograms. Breast cancer is only diagnosed by pathologist’s microscopic examination of breast tissue.

Thermography centers have been around for several years in most major cities. They are definitely the wave of the future for early breast cancer detection. Amazingly, most traditional physicians don’t know anything about them and continue to recommend mammograms.

Positive results suggest the need for further evaluation

Althouth a breast thermogram is a much safer form of screening that a mammogram, it too is just a screening. A thermogram evaluation yields a score ranging from 1 to 5. A rating of 1 implies no detectable thermal abnormalities, while a ranking of 5 suggests thermal abnormalities correlating with very significant risk for breast cancer. Positive results on a thermogram suggest the need for further evaluation as do positive results from a mammogram.

Early thermal abnormalities may result in a recommendation to repeat the process in 60-120 days. Depending on the rating score and clinical findings, a referral may be made for targeted ultrasound or to a breast specialist for possible biopsy. At this point, any practitioner so trained may recommend nutritional, metabolic, environmental, or lifestyle interventions to address the thermal abnormalities.

Many providers of thermograms accept self-referrals as well as referrals from healthcare practitioners. However, they are not as readily covered by insurance, in keeping with the trend in the insurance industry to cover toxic treatments but not procedures geared to keeping us healthy.

A recent study suggested that many breast lumps disappear on their own

Scientists who completed a recent study on the effects of mammograms concluded that some of the cancers detected could spontaneously regress if they were not discovered and treated. This conclusion appeals to common sense, because we know one of the basic principals of function in the body is constant striving to heal and restore homeostasis.

The disease establishment wants us to devote time and energy in a continuous search for breast lumps. We are told to examine ourselves every morning, and get as many mammograms as we can. After all, the sooner we can find the tiniest lump, the sooner we can be herded into the great cancer machine, and more money will be available to feed that machine. Yet when we are finally spit out the other end of that machine we are often ruined and unable to ever regain our health. Women have been turned into recruitment agents for this machine. We have been programmed to the point that many women never go a day without worrying about breast cancer.

As a people we tend to have limits to our physical, mental, emotional and psychological resources. How we direct these resources is our choice. We can spend our resources taking tests, examining ourselves for lumps and worrying. Or we can spend our time and resources raising our health status to the level where breast cancer becomes a non-issue.

Five Easy Ways to Lower Blood Pressure Using One Great Fruit

(NaturalNews) Have you had your lycopene today? If you ate a green salad with fresh chopped tomatoes, then you not only got a healthy dose of this powerful antioxidant, but you have also taken significant action toward lowering your blood pressure. A 2006 double-blind study conducted in Israel has confirmed what heart-healthy Italians have enjoyed for centuries – tomatoes (and tomato sauce) lower blood pressure and the risk of heart disease.

The Israeli study was led up by Dr. Esther Paran, head of the hypertension division of Soroka Medical Center. It involved patients who were already being treated for hypertension, but were not responding well to the medications. Dr. Paran had patients take a supplement of tomato extract. The results were a significant drop in blood pressure after just four weeks.

Tomatoes are so effective at lowering blood pressure because they contain lycopene. This potent antioxidant is even the focus of some hybrid tomatoes grown by the Israeli company, Lycomato, in order to have higher concentrations of lycopene in each piece of fruit. Other antioxidants found in tomatoes make this one super-food in the prevention of heart disease. It can even help keep LDL cholesterol from oxidizing, which makes it stick to the arteries and narrow the passage way causing blood pressure to increase.

Even during the peak growing season it can be difficult to consume four whole tomatoes each day, which is the recommended amount for having a positive impact on blood pressure. Here are some ways to get the benefits of tomatoes without having to eat them straight off the vine.

1. Make Chili. Using tomato puree, which is a concentrated form of tomatoes, as the base for your chili utilizes the antioxidants without the bulk of a whole tomato. Add some ultra-lean and high protein ground bison and kidney beans with minced garlic and onions, and cayenne pepper and you have a heart-healthy main course and a full day’s allowance of tomato.

2. Since using olive oil with the tomatoes enhances the curative quality, make your pasta sauce red with tomatoes, tomato paste and olive oil to sauté the garlic and onion. Tomato paste used in making sauce contains more than 10 times the nutrients of a single tomato.

3. Have a fresh salad as a side dish to either of these entrees and cut one whole tomato on top. You’ll get one-quarter of you tomato intake right there.

4. Drink tomato juice. It is better to make your own fresh juice so that you can control the sodium. Store bought juices can be high in sugar and sodium-based preservatives. If you have a juicer, you can make some incredible veggie juices to suit your own tastes by adding carrots, celery and some low-sodium seasonings.

5. Take a tomato supplement. If you just can’t stomach tomatoes, then a 200 mg supplement provides the equivalent of more than the recommended four tomatoes.

Adding tomatoes to your diet can reduce systolic blood pressure by 10 points and diastolic pressure by 4 points as was evident in the Israel study. Whatever way you slice it, tomatoes will keep strengthen your immune system and lower blood pressure.

HPV Vaccine a hoax?

A new article in the Natural Health newsletter has some truths that are not being told to you about this HPV vaccine. There has been evidence since 2003 that this vaccine does not prevent cervical cancer. The results so far have been 18 young women deaths from the injection of this poison. You should read what this Medical Doctor has to say about this vaccine being forced on our young girls and woman. You may find this information at:

http://www.naturalnews.com/News_000439_HPV_vaccine_vaccination_FDA.html, copy and paste this address into a new browser window and see for yourself how we are being mistreated.

Every parent should be made aware of what the pharmaceutical companies are doing in the name of profit not good health care management.

Loose your house - Loose your vote

This must be the worst thing to do to anyone already as far down as you can get.
The logic of this denying the vote to people in Michigan that have lost their house
is got to be the last straw to the validly of our constitution. These folks were tricked into believing that they would own their own house by misleading and sometimes incorrect information about the type and cost of the loan they were getting. Hope this will get around better in the next six weeks.

Low Cholesterol Levels Associated with Cancer and Death

(NaturalNews) In a major shot fired across the bow of the statin marketing machine, the levels of LDL cholesterol that are the artificial targets of "health" promoted by the American Heart Association (AHA) are now found to be associated with a significant increased risk of cancer and death.

The AHA recommends an LDL level of 100 for prevention and 70 for high risk patients. In the new study an LDL level of 107 was associated with a 33% increased risk of cancer and death, an LDL level of 87 was associated with a 50% increased risk. As the LDL goes lower the risk keeps getting worse. These arbitrary AHA levels for LDL cholesterol were established by "experts" with direct financial ties to the statin industry, who knew full well that reaching their artificially low target levels for LDL would require double and triple doses of statin drugs, thus dramatically increasing sales (which has indeed happened).

The Vytorin fraud has pointed out quite clearly that lowering LDL cholesterol to very low levels does not reduce cardiovascular disease. Another Vytorin study also shows doing so increases cancer risk by 64%. The new study paints the clear picture that lowering LDL too low actually increases the rate of death from any cause. This new study also points out the statistical shenanigans that the statin industry uses to hide the actual risks of these drugs in the studies that have been published.

The data was so alarming that the researchers called for a statistical reanalysis of the data from all existing cholesterol studies, using better statistical models that actually reflect true risk. The results of this new research led the authors to conclude "A low LDL cholesterol level is not necessarily associated with optimal clinical outcomes but is a predictor of cancer and death."

We have known for many years that individuals who maintain an LDL cholesterol level of 130 as they enter their 40s and 50s have much less heart disease as they grow older. This is because they are healthy and have maintained fitness in their cholesterol function and metabolism. There is no credible data to show that lowering LDL numbers with statins actually produces a similar level of health, especially to artificially low numbers. There is a huge difference between having good cholesterol numbers because you are healthy and drugging your body's synthesis of cholesterol with statins. 

In the current study the ideal LDL cholesterol level was 126. The researchers were able to identify a bell shaped curve, in terms of a departure in either direction from this ideal number. LDL over 146 or less than 107 was associated with 33% increased risk of cancer. LDL over 164 of less than 87 was associated with a 50% increased risk. The risk keeps getting worse the higher or lower the number progresses away from the ideal of 126. LDL in the range of 108 – 145 had no statistically significant cancer risk, although being in the center of this range is clearly best.

There have been a number of studies in the past that link low cholesterol and cancer risk. However, these studies could not prove that the cancer was not already there prior to the start of the study – which has been the main argument used (besides statistical manipulation) by the statin industry to deny the association. In the new study this issue was taken into account by eliminating participants with less than 2.5 years follow up after the start of the study, thus demonstrating that the results were not due to pre-existing cancer. 

Needless to say, this study was not part of the marketing machine propaganda that is rampant in universities and "scientific" journals that have been used to promote the statin scam around the world, while actively blackmailing and blacklisting any authors, institutions, or journals that dare to step on Big Pharma's statin toes. This study was published on August 26, 2008 in the Canadian Medical Association Journal. It was carried out in Hong Kong with Chinese patients who had type II diabetes – the exact patient who is forced onto aggressive cholesterol lowering with statin drugs in America.

It is quite clear that scientific knowledge and advanced statistical analysis are no longer under the control of Big Pharma and its legions of scientists, universities, and medical journals that are on the take, misrepresenting data, and actively suppressing negative findings. The truth is coming out because Big Pharma is targeting the citizens of the world as a new market for statin sales. And they are also targeting our children, wanting infants seven months of age to have LDL levels of 50 and keep them at that level their whole life (with drugs, since such levels are totally abnormal).

The insanity must stop. Americans have been conned. Big Pharma and the American Heart Association should be held responsible for past crimes and future intended crimes against the health of our citizens under the false pretense of improved cardiovascular health.

Home medication mistakes on a meteoric rise

This article was in Dr. Inglis newsletter, sign up at the above address.

From Alan Inglis MD House Calls newsletter


You know the old adage, "You learn from your mistakes." But sometimes you don't get the chance, because some mistakes are fatal.

In fact--way too many.

A recent study shows that deaths from medication mistakes at home rose dramatically in the past two decades. Much of that increase is attributable to prescription painkillers and other potent drugs that, 25 years ago, were given mainly in hospitals.

The findings, based on nearly 50 million U.S. death certificates, show that deaths from medication mistakes at home increased from 1,132 in 1983 to 12,426 in 2004. That's quite a leap. Even taking into account population growth, that's an increase of more than 700 percent. The increase in deaths was highest among baby boomers.

Abuse of prescription drugs plays a sad part in these soaring numbers. But a good many valid prescriptions taken in error, especially narcotics like methadone and oxycodone, account for an increasing number of deaths.

Multiple prescription drugs taken at the same time also play a sinister role. This particular problem has recently received much media attention, with "Dark Knight" actor Heath Ledger dying from an accidental overdose earlier this year, and actress Anna Nicole Smith's death last year attributed in part to a lethal combination of drugs--nine prescription drugs were found in her bloodstream.

Part of the problem is that patients are taking more medications from multiple doctors and pharmacies. Doctors need to spend the necessary time with their patients to get the full medication profile and explain the risks of mixing medications--which can literally be a lethal cocktail. And it wouldn't hurt if states required pharmacists to teach patients about dangerous drugs--and having the insurers pay pharmacists to do so.

While doctors and pharmacists have a responsibility to educate their patients, education doesn't stop as soon as you leave their office or head out the door of the pharmacy or hospital. I urge my patients to take charge of their medical care. Arm yourself with knowledge. Don't assume your doctor and pharmacist have all the information and time they need to ensure the safety of your medication therapy--important things can be missed. If you're not telling your doctor and pharmacist about all of the medications you take, you don't know what effects their interactions could have when mixed.

Most important, health care professionals should be focusing on whether more drugs are even necessary--especially if that patient is already taking a bunch of pills. Drugs are completely overused for symptom relief when there are better alternatives available, such as deep breathing exercises, biofeedback, meditation, massages, hypnosis and exercise programs that good science supports all of these.

There is more than an element of art involved in the science of medicine. Get a second opinion if you have the slightest misgivings about a prescription or treatment plan--it could save your life.

Could bio fuels contribute to Global Warming?

A study in England has questioned the use a sustainability of bio fuels. By taking farm land out of production of food grains, has caused an increase in food prices globally. It appears that in our effort to reduce need for oil and reduce greenhouse gases we have created many new problems. They are also other reports that say the shift in crop production is not the cause for the food price increases. That the land and crops are not being redirected. This is a global problem. We should encourage all countries leadership to get this one right. This will effect our grandchildren severely. The article at the listed web site has some interesting questions. Read it and let me know what you think.

Presidential elections

With all the name calling and acuastions being thrown around by both candidates you would think that we are in real big trouble.  Why can't theses people just tell  us what they will do in plain and simple language.  Instead they want to focus on past judgements that were made with the information at hand at the time.  We all know that hind site is always 20/20.  Please try to get past the negatives and look to the future, is the way all candidates should be going.   It seems that the candidates and the media are afraid to tell the whole story in an upfront mannor.  Maybe Paris Hilton did boil it down the best.

Bernie Mac

The news of his death is still a shock.  This article in Natual News brings up some real short comings in our medical care system.  If only half is true, we are being mistreated severely by the medial profession.  Please take some time to read and digest this article.  It just may save your life and the ones you love around you. This will take you to the article, http://www.naturalnews.com/023817.

Hospital worker gets nearly $5 million dollars

The courage to go against the mainstream hospital and medical community finally pays off.  Maybe if more had the courage to stand up, our medicare system would not have to suffer such a strain.

This case is only the tip of the iceberg.  It seems to be a regular practice. The attitude is that this money is not from the people of this country but from some government program and money is to be made with simple errors in billings.

It would be to all of our advantage to review each item on a hospital bill, even though it may take a day a or two to do.   It is your money they are taking.

Cranberry Juice for infection

The above link will take you to a very good article  showing how cranberry juice works.

This study confirms what all of us in the natural health fields have known for decades.  Please go here and let others know how to prevent and get rid of unhealthy bacteria.

Drugging our kids again

The new study out about Tamaflu meds, is saying that anew label needs to be made warning about the mental effects on kids. Appears to be causing deaths due the chemical reactions in the brain. These reactions make the kids almost suicidal. There have been 25 deaths attributed to strange behavior while on this medication. Go to www.healthranger.com and read the latest information on this subject.

Leonardo DaVince Prescription for Life

This is probably the best advice anyone wanting good health could have. Imagine this man who was totally unconventional all his life, created theses ideas in the year 1515. If you go to this site and look up the article, you will learn what the truth of living well is al about. These thoughts are not even thought of today. Health care today is nothing more than hide and seek with a drug.
We should read more of the old ways and give up on this notion that health science is improving our health and longevity. Go to www.naturalnews.com today.

Statin drugs for kids {*cor)

The American Pediatric Society is now trying to drug kids age 8 and up with liver killing medications. The thought is that this will reduce the obesity problem of kids and adults in the future. The current studies have shown that theses drugs have very little effect on the cholesterol levels in any human. There are several studies that show the cholesterol level is not the culprit in heart disease. The real culprit is triglyceride and cholesterol ratios. The idea of forcing the developing systems of our kids to reduce the amount of cholesterol in there systems is just plain wrong. Without cholesterol the nerve, muscle and joint development are interfered with dramaticly. If we want our kids to be in a healthy weight situation and avoid heart disease in the future, then we as parents need to take away the computer games and get these kids out playing ball or some other exercise. Using the computer and TV for babysitters is causing our kids to become very unhealthy. DO NOT let this new drugging of our kids get a hold of you.

Summer Time Wellness

Now that summer is here, do not forget to stay up on you fluid intake. Dehydration
is the leading cause of headaches, muscle spasm, and good ol' irritability.
While participating in any activity it is very important take time to rest and catch your breath.

Mercks get rich quick scheme

Well now the results are beginning to show how bad the vaccine
Gardasil is for all the young ladies out there. There is a YouTube
video out now that tells the life threatening side affects of this
deadly vaccine. Go to YouTube and type in Gardasil to see what has
happened to this 14 year old girl. There are now over 2200 reports
of moderate to severe reactions to this vaccine. The latest ploy by
Merck is now to give it to boys ( for fever blisters). Last time I
checked we boys have no cervix. Please show everyone you know what
this run on our young people is creating.

What are the Oil compnies hiding

The big oil companies are testifying in congress, that they are not making real profits. They want us to believe that they have "future" expenses to cover with this new windfall of 100 BILLION dollars. They also want to keep the tax credits of 18 BILLION as well as have access to protected areas to explore for more oil.
Maybe we are not asking the right questions. Like how come there have been no new refineries built in the last 20 years? Why are the current refineries only working at less than 99%? Why do they only produce certain types of fuel on certain days of the week? Why are supplies increasing and not being utilized?
Just once would I like to see our congressmen and senators thinking like you and me, instead of like a politician that is trying to protect his job.

No child left behind - hidden agenda

This is an excerpt from an article in the Natural News newsletter. Read the full article at www.naturalnews.com.


What's the real agenda behind the No Child Left Behind Act?

NCLB may be one of the greatest travesties ever foisted on an unsuspecting populace. Not because its goals are unrealistic, its mandate is unfunded, it favors federal control, or that it is based on punishment. The great insult of NCLB is its unspoken goal of ensuring competence in reading, math, and science to the exclusion of all the other subjects which provide the tools needed to foster citizenship in a democracy.

Competence in reading, math, and science sounds like a worthy goal. But when the job security of teachers and administrators is threatened by standardized test results, it becomes a certainty that all the efforts of the school community will be geared toward enabling the passing of the tests at all cost, with little regard for anything else. One result of this pressure on school staff is that instead of attending their accelerated classes, high achieving students are now frequently used as 'peer tutors' to help lower-achieving students.

The message of NCLB is that reading, math, and science proficiency, to the exclusion of everything else, is what is needed for the job market in the 21st century. These are the skills required to find a place in the corporate world. The corporate machine does not require knowledge of history, economics, geography, philosophy, literature, communications or the arts. Knowledge of these subjects doesn't contribute to the bottom line and tends to create people with the propensity to question authority, something such regimented entities as corporations, governments, and militaries don't want or tolerate.

Being able to write or speak and thus being able to comment on the state of affairs are considered undesirable attributes of masses of people who must be controlled, manipulated and exploited. Proficiency only in reading, math, and science stamps out uniqueness among individuals and replaces it with standardization. It is from uniqueness that the individual gains value. Strip him of his uniqueness, and he becomes no more than a commodity to be valued accordingly. With the loss of uniqueness goes the loss of independence and the ability to advocate for one's self.

NCLB halts the rise of the individual in its tracks. Thinking, questioning, and creating are now out. NCLB returns us to the time of minimal education for the masses which stressed the ability to work and obey orders. This method of producing people for the new world order returns us to a time when almost no child got ahead, therefore no child was left behind.

New study recommends best neck pain treatments

Study recommends best neck pain treatments
An international study has evaluated the best treatments for neck pain and discovered that some alternative therapies may be the better choices for treating this type of pain. The seven-year study found that such treatments as acupuncture, neck manipulation, and massage are safe and effective at easing neck pain. Researchers also recommended that surgery and corticosteroid injections should only be considered in cases that involve weakness or numbness in the arms, fracture, or serious disease.

Vaccination of Children

The current thinking of our CDC now wants all school age kids to
receive the flu shot. Even with the knowledge that these vaccines are
not made to control the current flu viruses. How can these supposed
learned people, justify exposing the very people who are still developing
their own immunities to such an invasion. The real secret to
prevention is to teach better hygiene and nutrition to all these school age
children. This is just common sense. It does not take a genius to know this.

More bad news for woman

A recent study on Liptor and Creator found that woman on these medications have developed memory loss and concentration abilities.  
See the ad on this blog to learn more of the consequences and better natural treatments for the cholesterol problems. The big phama companies continue to take control of the information and studies that disproof their claims of effectiveness and safety.   Look for the alternative ways of health care before depending on the "science" of medicine.

Hepatitis B vaccine

The French government is prosecuting 3 drug companies for manslaughter.  This vaccine given in late 1990's is responsible for 5 deaths and many crippling diseases worst than Hepatitis.
Go to mercola.com to read several articles about this and the side effects related to the vaccine.

More sad news about statin drugs

Please read Dr. Mercola's article on the dangers of statin drugs.  In the effort to prevent heart damage, these drugs will cause muscle deteriation and kidney failure.  If these side effects are continueed with long term use or increased doses, then we are just increasing the risk of heart failure and declining health.  Our watch dogs at the FDA and our "scientific study" groups sure do not want us to know these facts.  I am sure they are aware of them and probably have some microscopic printed warnings somewhere.  As we continue to depend on the drug companies and other powers that be, we will never be a healthy population.

We need more involment

Well it sure is nice to see I am not alone.  Thanks for the commment. We need more of to us to care about what these very powerful people area and have done to this society. Hopefully
my little tirates will get out to more people who can and want to think for themselves.
We are loosing our independence in the name of profits.

Where is common snese

With all the negative news about our economy and standard of living, why are people and our politicians worried about a baseball player on drugs and a football team that may hve cheated.
We need to get our focus on how we can sve this country and its families.  Wasting time,money and effort on such unimportant situations is just plain stupid.
Peolple are loosing their homes and banks are playing with our lives.  There has to be answer that all of us can understand and imploment.  Any good thoughts out there??

National Health Insurance

Here we go again. Mrs Clinton wants you and I to build the coffers of the insurance and drug companies.  She wants each of to be forced to by health insurance because if we don't we are just another burden to those that do.(paraphrased quote).   Mrs. Clinton tried to make our system "better" while she was the first lady in Bill's first term.  What was produced was the extremely inefficent HIPPA system.  Now the cost of health care has balloned due to the cost of record keeping and the inabilty to share important information between health care professionals.  Just imagine what the additional cost of health insurance will do to our already struggeling familes and corporations.  Please think through the hype and politcal  redoric when sellection our next president.

OH NO!! Look out

A recent artilcle in the St. Louis Postdispatch quoted some retired general that
he thought the National Guard should be put under the control of the Army and Air Force.
Presumably to make them better trained, equiped and prepared.  Sounds like our military
leaders are looking to move out on their own.  This idea takes away the real homeland securtiy force and the one little adavantage the individual citizens have to protect themselves from an over zellous military machine controling this country.
We all should take a real close look at this invasive idea from within our own military establishment.  Trouble is abrewing.

What's next

With all the hype of wellness care coming from the insurance companies, you would
think that more people would look for better care out side of medicine.  That does not seem to be the case.  all the papers, tv ads still think wellness comes from a bottle of pills.
Some day I hope people in the know wake up and really investigate true wellness care.

celebrex comeback

The newest commercial on tv is now touting the risks of ibuprofen and naproxsin in the effort to promote the use of celebrex.  This is a real slick presentation.  Using very fine print to create pictures of places and people that can benefit from this dangerous drug.  The people spinning this tale must have spent months trying to make the drug legitimate.  You have to listen and read very closely that these comparisons are for the prescription doses, however they imply that even over the counter meds are more dangerous than celbrex.  The mighty drugs companies are just working over time to make themselves money and us more addicted to their drug as well as keeping more people sick with this drug.

A new day

Monday 1-7-08
What a day here, spring time in Missouri.  Now is the time to evaluate what you are doing  to make your health and life better.  A better diet, more exercise and time to just relax.  These are the real way to better health.

Guranteed income

Now more medication TV ads are telling us we must stay on their medication and probably some others for life to protect our hearts and health.  Sure is a good way to increase bottom lines for the drug companies for life!!!  Just maybe, better nutrition and exercise could build our health and our wallets.

Day 2

How about that!  Right after I posted my first comments, Bill Mohur stated the
same sentiment on Letterman last night.

Are we being drugged by the media?

Does any one really listen to the disclaimers of drug advertising on TV and radio or read the very very fine print about the drugs advertised in the magazines and news papers? I hear/read more complications than improvement in health issues. These commercials are not a whole lot different than the cure all potions and elixors sold off the back of a covered wagon.

Maybe if we were more and better informed about proper diet, exercise, rest and stress reduction, most of these medications would not be necessary.
