 Tobacco is a mood-altering, addictive drug that kills 500,000 Americans a year (200 million worldwide)
Costs $400 billion each year, according to "Smoking and Health Review," (1992). 

The American Lung Association says tobacco contains more than 4,000 chemicals, 60 of which causes cancer. 
Some of the 'killers' are radioactivity, arsenic, ammonia, lead, formaldehyde, nitrogen dioxide, cadmium, phenol, benzene and hydrogen cyanide (the 'gas chamber' gas that poisons the respiratory enzymes)

5 Japanese Die After Taking Arthritis Drug
By Associated Press
January 27, 2004,


TOKYO -- Franco-German pharmaceutical company Aventis SA said Tuesday that five Japanese have died after taking its arthritis drug and said it has warned doctors against prescribing it to patients with respiratory problems.

It has not been confirmed whether the drug, Arava, caused the deaths, but doctors in two cases believe the medication may have been responsible, said Yota Kikuchi, a spokesman at the company's Tokyo-based subsidiary, Aventis Pharma Japan.

Sixteen people developed interstitial pneumonia, a debilitating lung condition, after taking Arava. Five of them, aged between 57 and 71, subsequently died, Kikuchi said.

The company has warned doctors not to prescribe the drug to patients with respiratory problems, a history of interstitial pneumonia or lung problems. It also advised that x-rays be conducted on any patient who is to receive the drug for the first time, Kikuchi said.

"We were aware of the side effects ... but we did not imagine such a frequency. We will promptly investigate whether the drug was responsible," Aventis Pharma Japan's Vice President Masaki Noguchi said.

Since its launch in Japan last September, some 3,400 people have taken the drug, which is generically known as leflunomide and is used to treat rheumatoid arthritis -- a chronic illness that can result in inflammation of the joints, stiffness, loss of movement and sometimes deformity.

The drug has been administered to some 400,000 people worldwide, of which 80 people have developed interstitial pneumonia, Kikuchi said.

Arava first went on sale in 1998 in the United States and has since been made available in 72 countries. In 2002, worldwide sales of Arava were worth 31.9 billion yen ($300 million), according to a company statement.

A MOTHER'S STORY:THE IMPORTANCE OF WARNING YOUR DOCTOR ABOUT PREVIOUS DRUG REACTIONS
By RFD Columnist, Marilyn Holasek Lloyd

The memory of a drug reaction my son experienced many years ago when he was four years old still unnerves me.

It all started with a case of chicken pox. Usually this disease is self-limiting and children have little or no problem with it. However my son suffered from dermatitis and his skin was vulnerable to infection. So, his chicken pox got infected, and we went to the paediatrician who wrote a prescription for ceclor, which is a second generation cephalosporin drug.

After the final dose, my son became very ill. His body swelled. His face looked like a blow fish. He also had severe redness, itching, and general discomfort. But the worst symptom was the joint arthritis; it was so painful that he couldn't stand. It could have been worse because the blood infection could have affected his kidneys and heart.

Luckily, he was spared further illness and he recovered. The very next week, my three-year-old daughter had an infection that required antibiotics and the doctor wrote a prescription for ceclor. I was quite concerned, but he assured me that sensitivities to a drug do not run in families. Nonetheless, she developed a bad case of hives. And I should mention that two grandchildren in our family also had allergic reactions to ceclor.

So, what did all this mean for the future? First and foremost, it means that doctors need to be warned about the possibility that a particular drug should not be prescribed to someone who has had an allergic reaction to it. For example, whenever my son would see a new doctor, I made sure that a reference to the allergy was noted on the front of his chart.

But do you think that type of caution is enough? No way! One time he was about to pay for a prescription of a related drug and the pharmacist caught the allergy note about ceclor on his file.

When my son had knee surgery in college, we met with the nurse in advance to discuss the protocol and I emphasized that he shouldn't be prescribed ceclor. You guessed it: after surgery, they were about to give him ceclor. Good thing I was there to intervene.

My point in writing this is to warn people that they must tell every new doctor and pharmacist about their drug allergies. Some doctors simply do not pay attention to what is written in a chart. And if you have an allergy, ask about drugs that may be related to one you want blacklisted. For example, there are at least 20 drugs in the same class as ceclor that could provoke an allergic reaction.

If you're in the hospital, make sure your allergies are listed on the chart. And if you have someone checking on you regularly, which I highly recommend, have them check the drugs you are receiving.

There is no doubt that antibiotics and other necessary drugs save lives. But drug reactions can be deadly. Be vigilant.

IS THAT DIET DRINK/FOOD MAKING YOU FAT?

Diet Sodas and foods most common denominator is artificial sweeteners most often aspartame (Nutra Sweet- Equal - Spoonful, etc.).

Aspartame changes the brain's chemistry. It is the reason for Severe seizures in a large number of people who have ingested aspartame containing products for a while. This drug changes the dopamine level in the brain. Just imagine what this drug does to patients suffering from Parkinson's Disease and other neurological problems. This drug also causes Birth Defects.

There is absolutely no reason to consume this product. It is NOT A DIET PRODUCT!!!

The Congressional record states, "It makes you crave Carbohydrates and will make you FAT". Dr. Roberts ( http://www.envirodocs.com/Roberts_biography.htm ) stated that when he got patients off aspartame, their average weight loss was 19 pounds per person. The formaldehyde stores in the fat cells, particularly in the hips and thighs.

ENVIRONMENTAL REPORT
~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~~^~^~^

This isn't typical of my usual environmental reports but it is important as the debate over what causes such illness is raging and being debated world wide! Some say it's environmental based and some say it's the feed they eat. I think it's probably a combination of both but people really want to know?

Man Who Killed the Mad Cow Has Questions of His Own
By DONALD G. McNEIL Jr.
February 3, 2004

Shooting a cow turned Dave Louthan into a crusader.

On Dec. 9, at Vern's Moses Lake Meats in Moses Lake, Wash., Mr. Louthan killed the only mad cow found in the United States.

Two weeks later, he says, he was dismissed after four years as Vern's slaughterer when he talked to the television crews outside and told them he was sure the cow, ground into hamburger, had already been eaten. The plant's owners did not return calls seeking comment.

"I got a big mouth," he said in a telephone interview.

Since then, it has gotten bigger. Using borrowed computers — he has none of his own, only "a microwave and a TV that gets four channels" — he started writing to newspapers, and is to testify today before the Washington State Legislature.

Contrary to reports from the federal Department of Agriculture, he asserts that the cow he killed was not too sick to walk. And it was caught not by routine surveillance, he says, but by "a fluke": he killed it outdoors because he feared it would trample other cows lying prostrate in its trailer, and the plant's testing program called for sampling cows killed outside only.

"Mad cows aren't downers," he said. "They're up and they're crazy." The Agriculture Department disputes his account. Dr. Kenneth Petersen, a food safety official, faxed copies of the Dec. 9 inspector's report saying the cow was "sternal," or down on its chest.

Mr. Louthan said he believed the government changed the report on Dec. 23, during the panic at Vern's when a positive test was found. The "smoking gun," he said, is that it is the only one on the page marked "unable to get temp" while other cows' temperatures were recorded. It is easy, he said, to get a rectal temperature from a downed cow but hard from a jumpy one.

Dr. Petersen said that he had no indication the records were altered and that the veterinarian had told him the animal was lying so close to the trailer wall that a thermometer could not be used.

In his new role as bloody-handed industry critic, Mr. Louthan argues that too few cattle are tested for mad cow to say with certainty that beef is safe. "One mad cow is a scare, but two is an epidemic," he said. "They absolutely, positively don't want to find another."

Ed Curlett, a department spokesman, said about 83 a month were tested at Vern's from October to December. (The testing began only in October, when the government starting paying $10 a brain sample.)

The department has not changed last year's plans to test 40,000 cows nationwide this year, out of 30 million slaughtered. Janet Riley, a spokeswoman for the American Meat Institute, which represents slaughterhouses, called that "plenty sufficient from a statistical standpoint."

Mr. Louthan, who lives across the street from Vern's, said that the slaughtering was "still going like crazy" but that an inspector in the plant told him no more mad cow testing was being done.

Dr. Petersen said he did not know if Vern's was testing.

On Jan. 4, an angry Mr. Louthan started sending e-mail messages to all the inspectors on the department's Web site, asking, "Are you just going to sit there with your hands in your pockets?" and accusing Agriculture Secretary Ann M. Veneman of lying when she said American beef was safe.

Since then, he said, green department cars have parked outside his house "trying to scare me."

He gave the name and number of one agent who he said had told him to get in the car and ordered him to stop sending e-mail. The agent refused to speak to a reporter, but a spokesman said Mr. Louthan had asked that they talk in the agent's car and the agent did not intimidate, harass or argue with him.

Mr. Louthan is no animal-rights champion. His good-old-boy braggadocio and Texas drawl make him sound like a parking-lot matador with a knocking gun — a tube with a blank pistol cartridge that drives a bolt into the brain. Killing is "really fun," and beats deboning, which he calls "girls' work."

"I'm fast, I'm efficient, and I know how to get in through their flight zones," he said, meaning the way nervous cows turn to flee.

At Vern's, he killed about 20 old dairy cows a day and buffaloes on Thursdays, along with the odd ostrich, emu and alpaca.

The now famous cow, he said, was a white Holstein from the Sunny Dene Ranch in Mabton, Wash.

She was "a good walker," he said. As the driver poked her with a cattle prod, her eyes were "all white, bugging out."

"She wouldn't come down that step," he went on, "and I knew she was fixing to double back in and trample the downers, and that's a mess," so he killed her there.

Mr. Louthan was also the plant's carcass splitter, and he has a warning about that too.

With a 400-pound band saw, he said, splitters cleave the spinal column from neck to tail as hot-water jets blast fat and bone dust off the saw. The slurry, with spinal cord in it, "runs all over the beef," he said. The carcasses are then hosed with hot water and sprayed with vinegar.

Bucky Gwartney, director of research for the National Cattlemen's Beef Association, confirmed that most American slaughterhouses do the same. Since the Dec. 31 ruling that all cows older than 30 months must have their brains and spinal cords removed, "processors are actively looking at changes," he said.

Mr. Louthan said the agent who ordered him to be quiet suggested that he was akin to "an urban terrorist" for spreading alarm about beef.

"I'm not," Mr. Louthan said. "I just want to enjoy my cheeseburger like anybody else. I don't want to think: Is this the magic burger that's going to kill me?"
