Feel free to ask questions, it is recommended to clear any confusion you might encounter while reading the ezine. Clarity is an absolute necessity to building a healthy life. My brother-in-law, who believes his diet is going to keep him healthy, has numerous colds throughout each year and simply doesn't realize and will not open his mind to the fact that supplementing minerals and vitamins are absolutely necessary to be healthy! I do hope you aren't as hard headed as he is, but if you suffer from allergies, frequent colds, flu or other illnesses you're probably not supplementing or if you are and you still are a magnet for ills it could be insufficient amounts exist in your supplement(s)...

Have a great restful and relaxing weekend. Back on Sunday with the next A.N.E.H. Facts ezine!

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

Merck's Vaccine Coverups

A memo from Merck & Co. showed that, nearly a decade before the first public disclosure, senior executives were concerned that infants were getting an elevated dose of mercury in vaccinations containing a widely used sterilizing agent.

Around the same time this memo was being prepared, U.S. authorities were also aggressively pursuing the expansion of their vaccination schedule to include an additional five shots for children in their first six months. The danger that these shots pose lies in its deadly ingredient: thimerosal, an antibacterial compound that is composed of nearly 50 percent ethyl mercury, a neurotoxin.

What the Memo Said

The memo, which was written back in 1991, disclosed that 6-month-old children who received their shots on schedule would be receiving a mercury dose nearly 87 times higher than guidelines for the maximum daily consumption of mercury from fish. In addition, it included the following recommendation: whenever possible, particularly among use in infants and young children, vaccines with mercury should be eliminated.

The memo also stated that unlike regulators in Sweden and some other countries, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration does not share the same concern regarding thimerosal.

Excerpt of article in Los Angeles Times and New York Times 2/8/05

LENA'S NOTE: Is it any wonder that neurological diseases are running rampant world wide? Knowing this drug industry, through political contributions and friendships, convinced our leaders to give them an out by not having to pay liability for vaccine or drug related injuries! This leaves out the possibility of ever making them pay for their lies... If you still think these drug companies are looking out for your health and welfare you must be living on Mars!

Studies in Nepal, India show that infants under six months of age administered over 16,000 IU of vitamin A every other day showed a sixty-four percent reduction in death rate. So mommies-to-be supplement with double the RDA's of vitamin A for your baby's life!

We Have to Operate, but Let's Play First
By MICHEL MARRIOTT
February 24, 2005

The running joke that playfully follows Dr. James Clarence Rosser Jr. when he prepares to operate at Beth Israel Medical Center in New York is that this ebullient man possesses hands too large to perform traditional surgery.

Instead, Dr. Rosser prefers laparoscopic surgery, a technique that relies on an ultrasmall video camera to help him manipulate long, slender instruments inserted into patients through small incisions. It is, he said recently, as his hulking 6-foot-4 frame loomed over a surgical simulator using instruments he designed, an elegantly efficient approach to repairing the human body.

"In this new realm of laparoscopic surgery, you don't cut people open, or put your hands inside them," he said, demonstrating his mastery of hand-eye coordination and his keen depth perception by delicately tying tiny knots in a piece of suturing thread in a procedure he has long described as akin to "tying your shoelaces with three-foot-long chopsticks" while watching it all on television.

But in recent months, Dr. Rosser, who also goes by the nickname Butch, has been emphasizing a comparison he believes is more apt: video gaming.

The complex manual dexterity required to be a stellar video gamer and minimally invasive surgeon are strikingly similar, said Dr. Rosser, chief of minimally invasive surgery and director of the hospital's Advanced Medical Technology Institute. More important, he is using video games to help develop and train a new generation of surgeons who may have unwittingly acquired an aptitude for laparoscopic surgery while wiling away thousands of hours playing Mortal Kombat, BloodRayne and the like.

"I could come in, sit down and put this in my hand," Dr. Rosser said, referring to his instruments with touch-sensitive handles that resemble triggers, "and not find it foreign to look on that screen and do something with my hands."

It is exactly what anyone who has ever played a video game, from computer Solitaire to Halo 2, routinely does for fun.

Dr. Rosser, 50, practices what he preaches. He keeps an Xbox, along with PlayStation 2 and GameCube consoles, just a few strides from the operating room so he can warm up with a favorite, Super Monkey Ball, just before surgery.

Last year Dr. Rosser was a co-author of a study that concluded that surgeons who played video games for at least three hours a week were 27 percent faster and made 37 percent fewer mistakes than surgeons who did not play video games.

And as Dr. Rosser conducts his Rosser Top Gun Laparoscopic Skills and Suturing Program, which, among other things, introduces video games to medical training, he collects information on the proficiency of surgeons he instructs. So far, he said, he has a database measuring how more than 5,000 doctors actually perform.

Precisely measuring how surgeons work and then using training tools, like video games, to help impart those skills is vitally important to the medical profession, said Anthony C. Antonacci, Beth Israel's chairman of the department of surgery.

It was Dr. Antonacci, convinced that his old colleague was on to something, who helped lure Dr. Rosser from the Yale University School of Medicine to Beth Israel three years ago.

"He is a virtuoso," Dr. Antonacci said of Dr. Rosser's surgical skills. "And common to all virtuosos is that they devote an incredible amount of work to developing their discipline. They never stop practicing.

"But you can't operate on people every day," he said, noting the need for other means to honing and maintaining surgical skills. As a pilot, Dr. Antonacci said he recognized the importance of flight simulators, but believed that the next step was determining whether such special training translated into clinical outcomes like lower postsurgery death rates.

Dr. Rosser, an aviation history buff who also builds and flies radio-controlled aircraft, said he was convinced that better training would lead to better patient care, and video games in many ways could serve as low-cost surgical simulators of sorts.

Many medical simulators are almost prohibitively expensive, he suggested. He said he had been using one, "but that thing was costing $200,000 - how many people are going to have one of those?"

These days it's hard to find any food with enough nutrients to really help us without eating a truck load, but this one small fuzzy is the highest nutrient value fruit and can help keep your nutrient rich…

A tiny fruit with a great texture and taste and goes with just about anything. Kiwi, also called Chinese gooseberry and yang tao for its edible fruit. The small, oval fruit has a thin brownish-green skin with a fuzzy unedible surface. The flesh, which is a distinctive attractive green, with tiny purplish seeds surrounding a white core, may be eaten raw or cooked.

History: Known as the Chinese gooseberry, originated and began in the Chang Kiang Valley of China. When taken to New Zealand in 1906 was renamed after their national treasure, the kiwi bird, which, interestingly, is a fuzzy brown bird that does not actually fly. Considered a delicacy by the great Khans who relished the fruit's brilliant flavor and emerald-green color. Knowledge of the fruit expanded to other countries in the mid 1800s to 1900s.

A collector for the Royal Horticultural Society of Britain send samples home in 1847, and another send seeds to England in 1900. Plants were first exported from China to the United States in 1904. Kiwifruit is available worldwide today and is produced in New Zealand, the United States, Italy, Japan, France, Greece, Spain, Australia, and Chile.

The kiwi is technically a berry, is normally about 3 inches long and weighs about 2.5 ounces. When it is harvested, the pickers wear cotton gloves to make sure that the fruit is not damaged. Inside it is a symmetrical combination of dark green fruit, and black seeds. The conversion of starch into sugar keeps on going after harvest so it keeps getting riper and riper.

A study conducted at Rutgers University evaluated the nutritional value of fruits to determine--ounce for ounce--which provides the most nutrition. The findings, published in the October 1997 issue of the Journal of the American College of Nutrition, ranked popular fruits on the basis of the amount of the daily value they provide per 100 grams of fruits. At the top of the list was kiwifruit.

When you are choosing a kiwi, look for firm, unblemished fruit. Size doesn't matter. If it is ripe, the outside of the fruit should give way to slight pressure. If it doesn't give a little, it isn't ready to eat. You can speed up the ripening process by putting it in a vented plastic bag with an apple or a banana and leaving it out on the kitchen counter.

One tiny Kiwi has less then 50 calories - is the most nutrient dense of all the major fruits.

Low in fat is Sodium-free, Cholesterol-free, High in fiber and High in vitamin C. A great source of Vitamin E, folate (B vitamin), potassium and magnesium... The kiwi also contains lutein, a phytochemical found in green plant foods that scientists say reduces the risk of cancer, heart disease and macular degeneration, which is creating epidemic proportion of blindness in the over 40 generation.

Research conducted by the University of Oslo in Norway reveals that consuming two to three kiwifruit per day can work to thin blood, reduce clotting and lower fat in the blood that can cause blockage, without negatively affecting cholesterol levels. Like aspirin, eating two kiwifruit a day promotes heart health. In short, kiwifruit consumption has similar effects to the daily dosage of aspirin recommended by physicians to improve heart health.

Findings of a 2003 study conducted by the internationally renowned Rowett Research Institute in the United Kingdom found that eating kiwifruit daily can provide substantial protection against the kind of DNA damage that may cause cancer.

Another interesting property of kiwi is an enzyme called actinidin that turns this fruit into an excellent meat tenderizer. Just puree fresh kiwi and use it as a marinade for beef, poultry or pork. Let it stand about 30 minutes before cooking. Or, if you want to tenderize the meat without flavoring it, you can just cut the fruit in half and rub it over the meat before cooking. Because of this enzyme, you cannot use kiwi in foods like gelatin unless you poach it very briefly to deactivate the enzyme. It must also be briefly poached before using it with any dairy products like ice cream or frozen yogurt because otherwise it will impart a strange flavor, but not dangerous to your health.

Due to California kiwifruit's late fall harvest, fresh kiwifruit is available to U.S. and Canadian consumers during the winter months, an uncommon time for the "homegrown" fresh fruits. With proper storage and handling, California kiwifruit is available for up to eight months - from October through May.

Our favorite way of eating Kiwi is fresh and raw. There are recipes using Kiwi cooked but I have never tried them so I cannot recommend one…

State Leads in Ill Effects From Diesels, Report Says
By ANTHONY DePALMA
February 23, 2005

Smoky diesel exhaust billowing from the tailpipes of buses, trucks and construction equipment leads to more premature deaths, heart attacks and bouts of asthma in New York than in any other state, according to a report released yesterday by the Clean Air Task Force, an environmental group.

The harmful effects of diesel exhaust were most severe in New York City, despite recent efforts to reduce noxious emissions. The study estimated that there were more heart attacks per capita connected to diesel exhaust in the city than in any other metropolitan area in the country.

Diesel manufacturers contend that the study exaggerates the health risks in part because the results are based on data that is several decades old.

Every year, more than 2,300 people in New York State die prematurely because of exposure to diesel pollution, according to the report. More than 3,600 heart attacks and 51,000 asthma attacks are attributed to the exhaust emissions.

Although it is impossible to separate diesel exhaust from other contaminants completely, the report estimated that more than 315,000 workdays a year were lost because of diesel emissions.

"Diesel exhaust is a clear and present threat to public health that needs to be addressed right away," said Peter M. Iwanowicz, vice president and chief policy officer of the American Lung Association of New York State.

While black smoke is the most visible part of diesel exhaust, it is not the most dangerous element. Nearly invisible particles - some so fine they are no wider than one-hundredth of the diameter of a human hair - are believed to cause the most damage because they can lodge deep inside the lungs.

Modifying existing diesel vehicles and making modest changes in the way they are used can eliminate up to 90 percent of the most harmful emissions, Mr. Iwanowicz said. Allen R. Schaeffer, executive director of the Diesel Technology Forum, which represents manufacturers and diesel fuel refiners, said diesel exhaust makes up a small percentage of air pollution contaminants, and recent advances in diesel technology make a new vehicle eight times cleaner than one built a dozen years ago.

"This study really overstates and overreaches," Mr. Schaeffer said, because it does not use current data.

Even so, Mr. Schaeffer said, the diesel industry thinks it is a good idea to update older engines.

New federal regulations will require diesel engines built after 2007 to meet standards that will eliminate more than 90 percent of pollutants in diesel exhaust.

But existing vehicles will continue to emit the harmful exhaust for decades, said David M. Martin, regional vice president of the American Lung Association of New York State.

Among cities, the report found that New York had by far the most dangerous level of diesel contamination in the country.
