Something To Think About
============================

What Every Worker Should Know about Electronic Medical Records
December 30, 2006


The Wall Street Journal recently reported that corporate giants Intel, Wal-Mart, British Petroleum and other companies are planning to digitize their workers? health records and store them in a multimillion-dollar database. The Journal also reported that, according to the companies, the records will be the property of employees. But unless the federal medical-privacy law is revised or employer-employee contracts state clearly that employee-owned electronic medical records cannot be shared without patient consent, the promise of employee ownership will be no guarantee of privacy. Here is why:

The privacy rule actually permits over 600,000 doctors, insurers, and others to share individuals? electronic medical records-without consent-for purposes related to treatment, payment, or health-care operations, a very broad category. About that rule, Journal reporter Theo Francis recently wrote in "Taking Control: Setting the Records Straight": "Over the past three years, millions of Americans visiting doctors' offices, pharmacies and hospitals have been handed forms and brochures discussing privacy rules under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, or HIPAA. Many assume signing somehow protects their privacy. It doesn't. "In fact, the disclosure notice essentially details the many ways a doctor can use and disclose medical information-often without a patient's consent or knowledge. Medical providers have to ask for a signature. But signing isn't mandatory. And failing to sign usually doesn't change what a doctor can and can't do with a person's medical information". "Health plans and medical providers also must track some kinds of disclosures, and give patients a list if asked, including disclosures for public-health purposes, but not routine uses for treatment, payment or health-care operations." [Emphasis added.]

Thus even though big companies promise employees they will own their electronic medical records, workers won't control access to them unless (1) the privacy rule is changed or (2) company contracts guarantee control.

Americans would never accept the notion that although they own their homes, the government or their employers have the authority to determine access to them. They should reject the same notion with respect to employees? health records.

Should you fear the inviting cool blue waters of the swimming pool?

Dr. Spreen states: "As someone who spent a TON of time in chlorinated water (and handling chlorine levels), there is no question that swimming in American pools is far worse than showering...the chlorine levels are much worse in the pool. That's haunted me for years."

"Even worse, however, would be a hot tub...they are positively loaded with chlorine."

"I say 'American' pools, as in Europe they refuse to use chlorine or bromine, preferring the more expensive process of ozonation. My feeling is the US can't afford to have that bit of news get out, as people will then start to question their municipal (chlorinated) water supplies.

"So, yes there's scalp absorption (plus inhalation, don't forget) in a shower. And never, ever, get in a hot tub unless it's ozone treated (which you won't find in the US, far as I know)."

"Coronaries/Cholesterol/Chlorine" by Dr. Joseph Price. The book explains how chlorine intake contributes to narrowing of the arteries.

Dr. Spreen: "Price found that American kids dying in car wrecks at home had far less atherosclerosis than kids the same age killed in Vietnam. His conclusion was that the only thing different was all the chlorine tablets the troops had to dump into all water supplies to be able to drink available water over there.

"He then took chickens (which for some reason have arteries like humans) and tested chlorinated and non-chlorinated water on them. He found that the highly reactive nature of the chlorine molecule scars the arterial intima [the inner lining of the artery]. The body protects itself by painting a thin film of cholesterol over the damaged area. It's not the cholesterol that kills, it's the continual need for protection against the scars that eventually gets out of hand."

Parallel rising

In "Coronaries/Cholesterol/Chlorine" Dr. Price offers another key point to support the link between chlorine exposure and atherosclerosis.

Dr. Prince notes that heart disease is a modern health problem. We're told by mainstream nutritionists that high-fat diets are to blame, but high-fat diets were common in the 19th Century while heart disease was rare. Meanwhile, the steady growth of heart disease rates throughout the 20th Century parallels the steady increase in the use of chlorine in our water, paper, clothing, insecticides, paints and cleaning products.

Healthy bright orange winter fruit Fortunella crassifolia!
 
I'm again missing those nice little orange, yellow and greenish fruits that use to grow in our back yard in Southern California. It was easy to walk out and pull a few off the tree and eat them as a snack during the day or put in a bag to take to work for a morning or afternoon snack. We had two different types; the normal kumquat - small yellowish orange colored - and Limequates - greenish yellow color, both the shape and size of bird eggs - growing in our back yard that were absolutely refreshing and different and were ready for picking throughout the winter months. I loved slicing them into fruit salads as well as fresh off the trees as a snack. Tangy insides with a sweet peel, so different from other citrus that require peeling before eating. 
 
Kumquats, also called Cumquat, kinkan or Fortunella crassifolia or as Chinese call them Gold Oranges, are the fruits that are produced from small family of evergreen trees, similar to an orange tree, that grows to a height of 10 - 15 feet. Our kumquat and limequat trees were miniature and only about 5 feet tall but never failed to be loaded with fruit... Kumquats are truly the tiny jewels of the citrus kingdom. The bite-size fruit, which are eaten, skin and all, is a wonderful combination of tangy and sweet flavors unique to themselves. The seeds, similar to the seed of the orange with a distinctive green color, should not be eaten, but contain pectin, which can be removed by boiling for use in making jams and jellies.
 
Kumquat is a small little fruit that is said to be native to China and Indochina, where the trees can grow up to 10ft, and are much appreciated for their beauty and fruits. Dwarf kumquat trees are specially cultivated in pots for the Chinese New Year celebrations, when its fruits are used as edible decorations. In the U.S. they are mostly cultivated in California, Florida and the Gulf Coast. Slightly bigger than a Brazil nut, they have a thick sweet peel and a tart pulp. Excellent in marmalades, jellies, crystallized, minced or whole. They make an interesting addition to salads or in sweet and sour dishes.
 
Has the minerals that most citrus contain such as; Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium, Sodium, Zinc,  Copper, Manganese, Selenium along with the Vitamins C, B-6, B-12, A, E, folic acid, niacin, Thiamin and riboflavin. Making it very citrus but also a calming soothing food. So when you are out of sorts have a few kumquats!
 
Winter fruits that can brighten up a dreary winter day. Compact and bite-sized, you can eat kumquats as you would a grape. Just wash them and pop in your mouth. They're also nice in salads or as a garnish in drinks. They have a tangy citrus flavor and can be used in any dish that calls for oranges or grapefruit. Kumquats are high in fiber and vitamin C.  There are variations of kumquats such as orangequats, lemonquats, and limequats.
 
We prefer to eat them raw but I also have been known to cut them up and put in salads or use for a seasoning in some meat dishes? They also make a great addition to fresh juices. Plop in a few to your juicer and add a zing to your juice. Works best with citrus juices or pomegranate.
 
If you live in an area where you are privy to having access to the kumquat family take advantage of these healthy little citrus fruits. But you can also find them in some grocery stores in the fresh vegetable and fruit section.
 
Enjoy!
Lena

Healing Tendonitis With Blood

PALO ALTO, Calif. (Ivanhoe Broadcast News) -- When tendons degenerate in the knee or elbow, both conditions known as Tennis Elbow, patients often shrug off symptoms. But sometimes the problem becomes so severe they need surgery. Now, doctors are experimenting with a breakthrough treatment instead -- and all it takes is a patient's own blood.

Army Captain Michael Mai trains six days a week, six hours a day. That's what it will take for the world-class hammer thrower to get to the Beijing Olympics in 2008. "The ultimate goal is to, of course, win the gold medal," he says. But intense training can come at a price. Two years ago, Cpt. Mai was throwing his hammer on a half-torn knee tendon.

"Since I could not afford that kind of time off, I just had to kind of work through the pain," he says.

Enter Stanford University Orthopedic Surgeon Allan Mishra, M.D. He suggested Cpt. Mai undergo surgery and an experimental treatment Dr. Mishra is testing on patients with chronic tendonitis.

"It is extraordinarily straightforward. It's not complex," Dr. Mishra tells Ivanhoe. "I don't want to call it rocket science or brain surgery."

In the new, simple procedure, Dr. Mishra first draws a patient's blood. Then, he separates the platelet rich plasma, or PRP, which is rich in growth factors that help tendons heal. The PRP is injected back into the patient.

"It's amazing that your body has an amazing ability to heal itself," Dr. Mishra says, "and all we are doing here is concentrating that ability and getting it back to an area where you are having a problem." In his pilot study on tennis elbow, it worked as well as surgery -- and may even prove to be better.

For patients, it's a simple alternative that's less costly and virtually risk-free.

Dr. Mishra says Cpt. Mai may have recovered just as well with the PRP only, but they did surgery as an extra precaution. Doctors are now experimenting with it to see if it could help heart attack patients strengthen heart muscle. And doctors want to see if PRP could be an alternative to stem cell transplants or an enhancement to them. For now, Dr. Mishra says PRP is best for patients with chronic tendonitis.


LENA'S COMMENT: I like the phrase "It's amazing that your body has an amazing ability to heal itself," if only more people would realize that! Given time and natural remedies the body can heal most any illness!

Researchers: Warming May Change Amazon
Dec 29, 2006
By MICHAEL ASTOR


RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil (AP) - Global warming could spell the end of the world's largest remaining tropical rain forest, transforming the Amazon into a grassy savanna before end of the century, researchers said Friday.

Jose Antonio Marengo, a meteorologist with Brazil's National Space Research Institute, said that global warming, if left unchecked, will reduce rainfall and raise temperatures substantially in the ecologically rich region.

"We are working with two scenarios: a worst case and a second, more optimistic one," he said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press.

"The worst case scenario sees temperatures rise by 5 to 8 degrees until 2100, while rainfall will decrease between 15 and 20 percent. This setting will transform the Amazon rain forest into a savanna-like landscape," Marengo said.

That scenario supposes no major steps are taken toward halting global warming and that deforestation continues at its current rate, Marengo said.

The more optimistic scenario supposes governments take more aggressive actions to halt global warming. It would still have temperatures rising in the Amazon region by 3 to 5 degrees Celsius and rainfall dropping by 5 to 15 percent, Marengo said.

"If pollution is controlled and deforestation reduced, the temperature would rise by about 5 degrees Celsius in 2100," said Marengo. "Within this scenario, the rain forest will not come to the point of total collapse."

Marengo's finding were part an 800,000 real ($373,000) study that began two years ago and that will continue until 2010. The study, financed by the World Bank and the British government, seeks to project climatic changes that will effect Brazil over the next 100 years. European governments frequently finance environmental and conservation studies about Brazil's Amazon rain forest.

Sprawling over 1.6 million square miles, the Amazon covers nearly 60 percent of Brazil. Largely unexplored, it contains one-fifth of the world's fresh water and about 30 percent of the world's plant and animal species - many still undiscovered.

Marengo said he was optimistic that the worst-case scenario could be averted, but he said that would require a major effort by industrialized nations to reduce emissions of so-called greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming.

He said Brazil should do its part by reducing deforestation and burning in the Amazon region.

Destroying trees through burning contributes to global warming, releasing about 370 million tons of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere every year - about 5 percent of the world total - scientists say.

About 20 percent of the rain forest has already been cut down and while the rate of destruction has slowed in recent years, environmentalists say it remains alarmingly high.
