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)

Something To Think About

CDC Searches for Cause to Mystery Deaths
By DANIEL YEE
ATLANTA (AP) - In a project resembling something out of the X Files,
federal health officials say the causes of a quarter of the deaths that
have stumped coroners in recent years appear to be from ordinary,
treatable conditions.
The "Unexplained Deaths Project" is a collection of data on the
mysterious deaths of 227 children and adults from 1995 to 2003.
Despite advances in medical technology, a specific cause of death was
found for just 53 of the cases, slightly more than a quarter. The
findings were presented Monday at the International Conference on
Emerging Infectious Diseases.
More than half of the 53 deaths were caused by bacteria that could have
been treated with medicines, said Sarah Reagan, a Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention epidemiologist with the project. Vaccines would
have prevented other cases.
Nineteen children's deaths were blamed on flu.
Thirty-seven percent of the determined causes of death involved a
respiratory illness and 36 percent were from sepsis, a common
bloodstream infection from toxin-producing bacteria. The causes of the
remaining deaths included pneumonia and heart problems.
The project was launched by the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention to serve as an early warning system for emerging diseases.
About a dozen health departments around the country participate.
AIDS, Legionnaires' Disease and hantavirus sickened people for years
before the diseases were first identified by health officials, said
Reagan.

25 Easy Ways to Activate Your Days By Carol Krucoff
Moving as much as possible throughout the day is one of the best, most
practical ways to use physical activity to enhance health -- and can
provide health benefits similar to a traditional, gym-based workout.
This is good news for people who say they don't have time to exercise.
Although many people think exercise is an "either-or" phenomenon -- you
either go to the gym and workout for 30 minutes, or you do nothing --
that's not true. Every step you take counts.
So try activating your life with these easy strategies:
1. Don't use the nearest bathroom. Use one that requires you to walk a
bit, preferably up or down a flight or two of stairs.
2. Balance on one foot while you're brushing your teeth. Balance on the
other foot while you're combing your hair.
3. Park in the farthest space.
4. Play actively with your kids. Strap on a pair of in-line skates, join
in their karate class, get off your bench and swing, climb, hang, slide.
5. Hide your TV remote. Get up and walk across the room when you want to
change the channel, increase the volume or turn the TV on or off.
6. Never take the elevator. When you're going fewer than three flights,
take the stairs.
7. Get rid of your electric can opener. Use a manual one.
8. Turn your coffee break into a walk break. Walk to a distant vending
machine, cafeteria or coffee shop to get your snack, rather than use the
closest one.
9. Stretch or walk while you're talking on the (cordless) phone.
10. Set an "activity" timer. Or, program your computer to remind you to
take brief walking and/or stretching breaks periodically.
11. Wait actively. If you're forced to wait for an airplane,
hairdresser, dentist, doctor, restaurant table, etc., take a walk.
12. Walk or bike to do errands, instead of driving.
13. Take a minute to stretch your arms, legs, back, shoulders and neck
whenever you get up from sitting or lying down.
14. Sweep your floors, patio and/or front walk every day.
15. During TV commercials, get up and walk, or get down and stretch.
16. Socialize actively. Instead of sitting and talking with friends
and/or family, try walking and talking. Or go bowling, play Ping-Pong,
basketball, bocce ball or go line dancing.
17. Put your favorite mug on a very low shelf, so you'll have to squat
down to get it out and put it back.
18. Take your dog for a walk every day. If you don't have a dog, borrow
your neighbor's, or just walk your "inner dog."
19. Practice "aerobic shopping" by taking a lap around the mall or
grocery store before you go into a store or put an item in your cart.
20. Avoid "drive-throughs." Park your car and walk in.
21. Practice good posture when you're forced to wait in line. Stand
firmly on both feet and try to raise the top of your head to touch an
imaginary hand held a quarter-inch above you. Let your spine extend,
stomach lift, shoulders relax and arms fall at your sides.
22. Don't automatically drive. If the cleaners is across the parking lot
from the bank, walk there. (Wear decent walking shoes, or keep a good
pair in your car.)
23. Install a chin-up bar in a convenient doorway, then use it often to
chin-up, pull-up or simply hang.
24. Try musical housework. Put on dancing music and sweep, vacuum or
wash windows to the beat.
25. Every time you hear a bell ring (phone bell, doorbell, church bell,
etc.) take a deep breath and smile. Think of it as "mouth yoga" that
relaxes hundreds of muscles in your face. And it's contagious, so pass
it on.

FOOD OF THE
WEEK

An Orange Provides 130% of Your Daily Vitamin C
Needs.
An orange is more effective than dark-green, leafy vegetables in
increasing serum concentrations of retinol and beta-carotene.
There are various types of oranges.
The orange has a sweet-sour taste and is commonly peeled and eaten
fresh, or squeezed for its juice. The outer-most layer of the rind is
called orange zest, and it has a similar flavor to the inner part of the
orange. The rind is very high in nutrients and can be used in cooking,
cleaning or eating. When the oil is removed from the orange rind it is a
very effective non-toxic cleaning and polishing agent. Orange oil is
used as a wood treatment for preserving and naturally beautifying it.
One naval orange provides 130% of your daily Vitamin C. This powerful
antioxidant protects the body from the effects of stress, pollution and
disease. Unlike some vitamins, Vitamin C cannot be stored by the body,
so it must be replenished regularly. Oranges supply 80 fat-free calories
packed with energizing carbohydrates that fuel energy levels.
Oranges supply Vitamin C, flavonoids and folate as well as fiber and
many other vitamins and minerals that bolster the immune system and
contribute to overall health, which is especially important during cold
and flu season.
One serving of oranges or grapefruit contain 1g of protein and the
mineral zinc, which can bolster the immune system and help fight off the
negative effects of stress and help ward off illness and diseases.
The fruit originated in India or Vietnam, depending on who you listen
to. It was called na rangi in Sanskrit. The na rangi or naranja was
translated as "norange", and in English usage a norange was back-formed
into the more acceptable an orange. The same thing happened in French
and Italian, but in Spanish it is still naranja.
A number of varieties of orange are now cultivated in many parts of the
world, usually in warmer climates. The sweet navel orange - Citrus
aurantium - was first grown in Spain, and has become the most popular
variety. The sweet orange will grow to different sizes and colors due to
local conditions, most commonly with ten slices inside.
The Valencia or Murcia orange is one of the sweet oranges used for
juice. It is a late-season fruit and is the most popular orange when the
navel oranges are out of season.
The blood orange has streaks of red in the fruit, and when squeezed the
juice is often reddish. The blood orange, with it's sweet, deep red
colored flesh, was most likely the result of a mutation that occured in
17th century Sicily. In most varieties of blood orange even the pulp and
skin are slightly sweet, and not bitter.
The mandarin is similar, but smaller and sweeter. The mandarin orange is
considered a native of south-eastern Asia and the Philippines. It is
most abundantly grown in Japan, southern China, India, Mexico and the
East Indies, and is esteemed for home consumption in Australia. Mandarin
is a group name for a class of oranges with thin, loose peel, which have
been dubbed "kid-glove" oranges. These are treated as members of a
distinct species, Citrus reticulata Blanco. The name "tangerine" could
be applied as an alternate name to the whole group, but, in the trade,
is usually confined to the types with red-orange skin. In the
Philippines all mandarin oranges are called naranjita. Spanish-speaking
people in the American tropics call them mandarina. There are a
multitude of different named Mandarin oranges.
1) Beat first six ingredients together in bowl until well mixed.
2) Heat griddle.
3) Dip bread slices in mixture coating both sides.
4) Cook on butter coated or non-stick griddle until lightly browned. If
you like your French toast slightly sweeter lightly sprinkle with
powdered sugar. For a more cinnamon taste sprinkle with sugar and ground
cinnamon before serving. (I keep a salt shaker with cinnamon/granulated
sugar mixture on hand for this purpose. 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon to 1/4 cup
sugar.)
Serve hot with fruit or syrup of choice. (Our favorite is with sliced
peach or sliced strawberries)
Docs Mull Antibiotics for Ear Infections
By DANIEL YEE
ATLANTA (AP) - Two leading medical groups are expected to recommend this
spring that doctors stop treating most middle ear infections in children
with antibiotics, federal health officials said Tuesday at the
International Conference on Emerging Infectious Diseases.
The move contradicts years of pediatric practice and is expected to
disappoint weary parents of screaming, infected toddlers.
Most antibiotics prescribed to children are for treating ear infections.
Health officials believe if they can reduce child antibiotic use for ear
infections, then they can help reduce the rise of antibiotic-resistant
germs created by overuse of the drugs.
"It will mark a dramatic change in appropriate antibiotic use," said Dr.
Richard Besser of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The guidelines from the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American
Academy of Family Practice must be formally approved by the medical
bodies before they will be published.
As the guidelines are currently proposed, doctors would only prescribe
antibiotics for children with serious middle ear infections and observe
the milder cases. About 80 percent of children will recover on their own
without the drugs, Besser said.
A specific definition of what constitutes an ear infection, known as
acute otitis media, also is expected to reduce antibiotic overuse for
the infections.
"Antibiotics only will be considered if it's truly acute otitis media
and not every abnormal-appearing ear," said Dr. Allan Lieberthal,
co-chairman of the medical groups' committee reviewing the guidelines
change.
Medical studies have found the drugs do very little for a child's ear
infection pain. Common painkillers such as acetaminophen or ibuprofren
may be used instead of antibiotics, said Lieberthal, also a pediatrician
for Kaiser Permanente in Panorama City, Calif.
LENA'S NOTE:There are natural antibiotics that will kill
ear infections and not mutate existing bacteria and/or viruses... One of
those is "Ionic Silver Water" internally and in the ear. I have used
this on my grandchildren with fabulous results! found

Climate change set to poke holes in ozone
Arctic clouds could make ozone depletion three times worse than
predicted. PHILIP BALL
The thinning of the ozone layer over the Arctic could be much worse than
we thought, because of a side-effect of global warming.
If the upper reaches of the Arctic atmosphere get colder - a predicted
consequence of climate change - then the rate of ozone depletion could
be three times greater than currently forecast, according to Markus Rex
of the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research in
Potsdam, Germany, and his co-workers.
"I was surprised to see these results," says Drew Shindell, an
atmospheric scientist at NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, New
York. "We never suspected the models were this far out of whack," he
says.
Rex and his colleagues studied climate conditions in the Arctic over the
past ten winters to calculate how ozone destruction depends on the
weather. They found a surprisingly strong relationship between ozone
loss and the amount of polar stratospheric clouds, they report in
Geophysical Research Letters1.
These clouds form 20 kilometres above the ground in winter-time, and are
sometimes called 'mother-of-pearl clouds' because of their shimmering
appearance.
But they are not harmless things of beauty: the clouds provide reaction
surfaces for chemicals eating away the Earth's protective ozone.
Chemical reactions in the clouds convert chlorine from industrially
produced compounds, such as the chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) found in old
refrigerators, into a reactive form that breaks apart ozone molecules.
The destruction of ozone allows more ultraviolet rays from the sun
through to the surface of the planet, harming humans and the ecosystem
close to the poles.
Colder air in the stratosphere is thought to promote the formation of
these clouds and the destruction of ozone. But it has proven difficult
to appreciate the scale of the problem. On average the Arctic
stratosphere has cooled barely perceptibly over the past few years, but
Rex and colleagues say the winter-time conditions are getting more
conducive to ozone destruction. The amount of stratospheric cloud has
been climbing steadily since at least the late 1960s, they say.
If Rex's findings and models prove correct, then all our predictions
about future ozone depletion are under-estimates, says Shindell.
It is not all bad news: Rex points out that even if polar stratospheric
clouds continue to increase in size and number, the amount of CFCs
should decline as the chemicals have largely been phased out. However,
they do hang about in the atmosphere for a long time, so they will
continue to cause ozone depletion for several decades yet.
