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

In one of the earliest studies on the therapeutic use of full-spectrum light, researchers treated patients who needed a mood boost by lengthening their "days". For an hour before dawn and an hour after dusk, the subjects sat in front of a full-spectrum light box. For most, the response was miraculous: The winter blues evaporated in a matter of days and were held at bay as long as subjects received the extra light. If they were away from their light boxes for a few days, lo and behold, those bummed-out feelings returned.

*MIRACLE OF THE MONTH* “MY DOG HAS DISCOVERED THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH!!!” ...unsolicited testimonial from Lisa Decrescente, Manhattan, New York on her wonder-dog “Zeus” who has medical science baffled by refusing to age. “I call Zeus my “wonder-dog”, because he is. In dog terms, he is 91 years old, (13 years actually, which translates to 91 for a human). He is a British Labrador Retriever that I adopted when he was just 10 weeks old from a family in Iowa. And he has been my adopted “son” ever since. About 18 months ago, he started showing signs of a walking problem. His hind legs appeared weak and shaky. I called the Animal Medical Center here in New York immediately to make an appointment to see what was causing these difficulties. They examined him from top to toe, nose to tail including a special muscular response test and a large battery of blood tests. These tests were exhaustive and would take at least 3-4 days, some over 10 days to come back. The doctors said to give him some Glucosamine as it looked like advanced arthritis. We did this, but they said that the situation would only get worse as time went on as he was so old. It was then that I had to call Ghostbusters!!! Who else are you going to call? Call Dr. Wayne Garland to see what he could do for Zeus. He put Zeus on the Structural Lubrication Formula to help him move easier and High Calcium Liquid which has 1000mgs of Calcium in one tiny teaspoon, Zeus loves this stuff. Well, a week went by and not a word from the doctors. Then one of the doctors herself called to say that some of the blood tests must have been “botched up” and they’d have to do them all over again. I blew my top as Zeus hates hospitals and needles and being poked and examined (who doesn’t???) and I demanded to know just what was going on. “Well, the doctor said, Zeus is in very good health and I know you have him on several nutritional products, what are they?” I told her that everything is recorded in Zeus’ life chart—Master Formulas Life Transfusion; Pro-Algean Omega; Shark Liver Oil gelcaps; Immune Support Formula. “Well...the doctor said again, these shouldn’t affect the blood tests so much, we really need to do them again so we have a check and confirmation of the first tests done.” She also added that they had run a Thyroid Test on him and this was “out of whack”, too. This was getting “Curiouser and Curiouser” by the second, as Alice would say. It was then that this lady doctor dropped a bombshell. “You see Miss Decrescente, we can’t work this out, all the blood tests on every function in his body and the thyroid are coming back with scores for a dog that is 3 years old, not 13...and we have never seen something like this ever before.” I had a good long laugh to myself and agreed for the new tests, knowing that it was all because of Mr. Garland’s Master Formulas that Zeus had been taking each day for over the past 7 years. We went in and they drew the blood again, FREE OF CHARGE this time, would you believe, as they said it must have been their mistake the first time!!! And lo and behold, just like I expected, THE RESULTS WERE EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE FIRST ONES!!! The doctors at the hospital were all in awe and amazement and told me that “whatever you are doing, keep it up” and would refer other owners to Mr. Garland’s website to get the same results. By the way, Zeus is walking much better now. The arthritis has not gotten any worse like the vet said it would, and he is even running all over Lower Manhattan again. Who said miracles don’t happen??? Thank you Mr. Garland and your Master Formulas, and thank you too, for your time in reading Zeus’ story.”

		Zeus, my “wonder-dog”. The supreme ruler of lower Manhattan and the hands of time. Now tell me, is this dog 91 years old???
ZEUS’ PROGRAM AT A GLANCE: Life Transfusion Liquid Mineral Complex, a near-identical compound formulation to blood. No wonder his blood won’t age. Pro-Algean Omega. Super marine source formula of planktons, seaweeds, peptides and antioxidants. Take this and turn back the hands of time. Ocean Gold Shark Liver Oil gelcaps.

Here's one for all you candy lovers out there.

A study reported in the prestigious British Medical Journal suggests that people who regularly eat candy live up to a year longer than those who deprive themselves.

The study looked at the 1998 health records of 7,841 men, who entered Harvard as undergraduates between 1916 and 1950. And it found that people who eat modest amounts of candy bars, from one to three a month, have a 36 percent lower risk of death than those who abstain.

The researchers say that antioxidant phenols in the chocolate portion of the candy probably are responsible for the added longevity. They say the amount of phenols in a 1.5-ounce chocolate bar are about the same as in a glass of red wine.

LENA'S COMMENT: Note it says 1 to 3 candy bars a month not daily!

That Juicy bit of fruit!

When in Hawaii this particular fruit found its way into my plate on many occassions and I truly loved finding it there... Something that I had not eaten until about ten years when friends from Belez introduced me to them and since that time I eat them as often as possible...

Mango grow at the end of a long, stringlike stem, with sometimes two or more fruits to a stem. The fruits are 2 to 9 inches long and may be kidney shaped, ovate or rarely but sometimes round. They range in size from 8 ounces to around 24 ounces. The leathery skin is waxy and smooth, and when ripe entirely pale green or yellow marked with red. It is inedible and contains a sap that is irritating to some people. The quality of the fruit is based on the scarcity of fiber and minimal turpentine taste. Mango is regarded as the queen of fruits in tropical areas of the world.

The flesh of a mango is peachlike and juicy, with more or less numerous fibers radiating from the husk of the single large kidney-shaped seed. Fibers are more pronounced in fruits grown with hard water and chemical fertilizers. The flavor is pleasant and rich and high in sugars and acid.

The Mango tree plays a sacred role in India; it is a symbol of love and some believe that the Mango tree can grant wishes. It is also the world's largest producer of mangoes. It has been estimated that there are over 1000 commercial varieties in India, where mangos are often called the "king of fruits".

Florida is the main producer of mangos in the United States. In 1990, 2800 acres of mangos were planted in Florida, of which 2500 acres were harvested. The farm value of the 19.2 million pounds produced was $4.7 million. Mangos are also produced in Hawaii and Southern California.

There are two principal types of mangos: Indian and Indochinese. ... Within those two type are; ‘Ah Ping’, ‘Fairchild’, ‘Gouveia’, ‘Harders’, ‘Keitt’, ‘Momi K’, ‘Pope’, and ‘Rapoza’ are recommended mango varieties for Hawaii. All the listed varieties are productive and have superior quality fruit. They have less pronounced alternate-year bearing qualities than the more common ‘Haden’ and ‘Pirie’ varieties. All these varieties, including ‘Haden’ and ‘Pirie’, are monoembryonic and do not come true from seed. Flowering occurs from December to April, but offseason flowering is common, resulting in variable harvest times. ‘Fairchild’ is considered somewhat resistant to anthracnose and is favored for humid areas.

Mango can be eaten raw as a dessert fruit or processed to various products. Ripe fruits can be sliced and canned or processed to juice, jams, jellies, nectars and preserves. Eastern and Asian cultures use unripe mangos for pickles, chutney and relishes. In India, unripe mangos are sliced, dried, and made into powder for amchoor, a traditional Indian preparation used for cooking.In India, flour is made from mango seeds. Seeds are also eaten during periods of food shortages. The timber is used for boats, flooring, furniture and other applications.

My favorite way of eating them is fresh and raw...

Are they concerned for your health or their pocket books? This should be named "As the Medical World Turns" in honor of the health risks they are foisting on worldwide health in their fight to make billions of $...

Drug Maker's Efforts to Compete in Lucrative Insulin Market Are Under Scrutiny
By GARDINER HARRIS and ROBERT PEAR
January 28, 2006

WASHINGTON - For years, Novo Nordisk, a Danish company and one of the earliest makers of insulin, has raced behind Eli Lilly to capture the lucrative insulin market in the United States.

Dr. David M. Nathan, director of the diabetes center at Massachusetts General Hospital and a professor at Harvard, examined Lisa Rydzewski recently at his office in Boston.

When in 1996 Lilly started selling Humalog, a synthetic insulin with speedier blood-sugar control, Novo needed four more years to get approval to market a similar product.

When Lilly's huge sales force put Novo at a disadvantage, Novo fought back. The company hired hundreds of sales representatives. When Lilly struck a marketing deal with the Eckerd pharmacy chain, Novo responded with a partnership with Rite Aid.

But in its race, several former Novo sales representatives say, Novo may have crossed the line. Sales representatives paid at least one Rite Aid pharmacist to encourage switches from Lilly products or Novo's own lower-priced versions to higher-priced ones, according to documents and former and present company officials. Novo also paid doctors' assistants when prescriptions were switched, according to two former sales representatives.

Several former sales representatives said they were told by pharmacists and doctors' assistants that some patients first became aware of the switches when they picked up the new medicines at a pharmacy.

Officials from Novo and Rite Aid said that their activities were intended primarily to educate patients or improve care and that similar programs were common in the industry.

Karen A. Rugen, a spokeswoman for Rite Aid, said, "Our alliance with Novo Nordisk is standard industry practice." Ms. Rugen said, however, that Novo had paid one of Rite Aid's pharmacists directly, although she said that top Rite Aid executives had been unaware of the practice.

Susan Jackson, a spokeswoman for Novo Nordisk, said that the overall agreement between Novo Nordisk and Rite Aid "has benefited many people with diabetes."

Ms. Jackson would not address questions about payments made to doctors' assistants or a Rite Aid pharmacist, nor would she say how much Novo paid Rite Aid. But she said the partnership "is not unlike other agreements common in the industry that provide 'preferred status' for branded drugs."

But prosecutors are now investigating possible criminal violations. On Dec. 20, Novo said it had received a subpoena from the United States attorney for the Eastern District of New York for documents relating to its marketing practices.

The company said that it "believes that the investigation is limited to its insulin products." The subpoena indicated that "the documents are necessary for the investigation of potential criminal offenses," the company said.

Drug companies may pay for consulting or educational services, but federal anti-kickback statutes prohibit them from offering financial incentives to doctors or pharmacists to encourage or reward the prescribing of particular drugs, according to a 2003 guidance from the Department of Health and Human Services.

"In short, practices that may be common or longstanding in other businesses are not necessarily acceptable or lawful" in health care, the guidance states.

A Marketing Battle

The rivalry between Novo and Lilly illustrates the efforts companies will undertake to become No. 1 in a drug market, especially for chronic diseases like diabetes, which in the United States is a $3.3 billion market annually, according to IMS Health, a pharmaceutical information and consulting company.

From a business perspective, Novo's efforts were a great success. From December 2001 through November 2005, Novo's insulin sales rose 364 percent to $963 million while Lilly's insulin sales rose only 13 percent to $1.43 billion, according to figures provided by IMS Health.

The marketing programs were detailed in dozens of internal Novo and Rite Aid documents obtained by The New York Times. Three former Novo sales representatives described the programs. These people, some of whom spoke to The Times separately from one another, do not wish their names to be used because all still work in the industry and fear retribution. Parts of the programs were also confirmed by company officials and another sales representative who allowed their names to be used. The former sales representatives would not comment on whether they had filed whistle-blower lawsuits against Novo.
