Greetings and thank you for
being an optin subscriber!
I had a whole day's reprieve
before grandchildren came back so I took advantage and rested! I
love them but it really tires me out with six at one time. This week
will only be two so it should be easier but trying to make sure they get
their supplements, as they tend to ignore them if I don't remind them,
cooking foods they like and keeping up with their memory building day
trips keeps me busy... I do hope you have taken or are taking your day
of rest it is really important to your health!
Take charge of you and your family's health before it takes charge of
you!

Report: Drug Errors
Injure More Than 1.5M
July 20, 2006
By LAURAN NEERGAARD
WASHINGTON (AP) - Medication mistakes injure well over 1.5 million
Americans every year, a toll too often unrecognized and unfought, says a
sobering call to action.
At least a quarter of the errors are preventable, the Institute of
Medicine said Thursday in urging major steps by the government, health
providers and patients alike.
Topping the list: All prescriptions should be written electronically by
2010, a move one specialist called as crucial to safe care as X-ray
machines.
Perhaps the report's most stunning finding was that, on average, a
hospitalized patient is subject to at least one medication error per
day.
A serious drug error can add more than $8,750 to the hospital bill of a
single patient. Assuming that hospitals commit 400,000 preventable drug
errors each year, that's $3.5 billion - not counting lost productivity
and other costs - from hospitals alone, the report concluded.
"I'm a patient-safety researcher (yet) I was surprised and shocked at
just how common and how serious a problem this is," said Dr. Albert Wu
of Johns Hopkins University, who co-authored Thursday's report.
Worse, there's too little incentive for health providers to invest in
technology that could prevent some errors today, added Dr. J. Lyle
Bootman, the University of Arizona's pharmacy dean, who co-chaired the
IOM probe.
"We're paid whether these errors occur or not," lamented Bootman, who
recently experienced the threat firsthand as his son-in-law dodged some
drug near-misses while in intensive care in a reputable hospital.
The new probe couldn't say how many of the injuries are serious, or how
many victims die. A 1999 estimate put deaths, conservatively, at 7,000 a
year.
Even the total injury estimate is conservative, Bootman stressed. It
includes drug errors in hospitals, nursing homes and among Medicare
outpatients, but it doesn't attempt to count mix-ups in most doctors'
offices or by patients themselves.
There have been efforts to improve patient safety in the six years since
the IOM first spotlighted medical mistakes of all kinds, including
recent bar-coding of drugs to minimize mix-ups in hospitals and
pharmacies.
But clearly more are needed, and the new report highlights how the
nation's fragmented health care system is conducive to drug errors, said
Dr. Donald Berwick, a Harvard professor who heads the nonprofit
Institute for Healthcare Improvement.
"This isn't a matter of doctors and nurses trying harder not to harm
people," Berwick cautioned. "Safety isn't automatic. It has to be
designed into the system."
Medications' sheer volume and complexity illustrate the difficulty.
There are more than 10,000 prescription drugs on the market, and 300,000
over-the-counter products. It's impossible to memorize their different
usage and dosage instructions, which may vary according to the patient's
age, weight and other risk factors, such as bad kidneys.
Plus, four of every five U.S. adults take at least one medication or
dietary supplement every day; almost a third take at least five. The
more you use, the greater your risk of bad interactions, especially if
multiple doctors prescribe different drugs without knowing what you
already take.
Add doctors' notoriously bad handwriting and sound-alike drug names: Was
that order for 10 milligrams or 10 migrams? The hormone Premarin or the
antibiotic Primaxin?
Moreover, consumer instructions are woefully inadequate, the report
concludes. One study found parents gave their children the wrong dose of
over-the-counter fever medicines 47 percent of the time.
Then there was the newly diagnosed asthmatic wondering why his inhaler
didn't work. Asked how he used it, the middle-age man squirted two puffs
into the air and tried to breathe the mist. His original doctor had
demonstrated the inhaler without telling him to spray it inside his
mouth.
Among the report's recommendations:
_The government should speed electronic prescribing, including fostering
technology improvements so that the myriad computer programs used by
doctors, hospitals and drugstores are compatible.
Fewer than about 20 percent of prescriptions are electronic, said report
co-author Michael Cohen, president of the Institute for Safe Medication
Practices. E-prescribing does more than counter bad handwriting. The
computer programs can be linked to databases that flash an alert if the
prescribed dose seems high or if the patient's records show use of
another drug that can dangerously interact.
_Patients and their families must be aggressive in questioning doctors,
nurses and pharmacists about medications. Get a list of each drug you're
prescribed, why and the dose from each doctor and pharmacy you use, and
show it at every doctor visit.
"Take active steps to make sure you know what you're getting, and is it
what you need," said report co-author Dr. Wilson Pace of the University
of Colorado.
_The nation should invest about $100 million annually on research into
drug errors and how to prevent them. Among the most-needed studies is
the impact of free drug samples, which often lack proper labeling, on
medication safety.
_The Food and Drug Administration should improve the quality of drug
information leaflets that accompany prescription drugs, but often have
incomplete information or are written in consumer-confusing jargon.
_The government should establish national telephone hotlines to help
patients unable to understand printed drug information because of
illiteracy, language barriers or other problems.
The Institute of Medicine is an independent organization chartered by
Congress to advise the government on health matters.

Further research over the next 20 years unveiled that these
remarkable sharks carried up to a gallon or more of golden-hued
liver oil, which contained potent Alkoxyglycerols (AKGs) and
Squalene. These precious constituents activate and enhance the
human body's immune defense system by stimulating the formation

FDA Warns Lunch Box
Makers About Lead
July 21, 2006
By NATASHA T. METZLER
WASHINGTON (AP) - Soft lunch boxes may be lined with a vinyl
containing lead, the government says, but safety officials say the
containers pose no immediate danger.
Food and Drug Administration officials have told companies to look
for a manufacturing technique that does not use lead, which can
cause learning disabilities and behavioral problems.
It is not clear whether this lead can contaminate food stored in the
lunch boxes. Mitchell Cheeseman, associate director of the FDA's
Office of Food Additive Safety, noted that since food in lunch boxes
is generally stored inside bags, the potential for contamination is
minimized.
If the agency were able to prove that lead is migrating from the
lunch box lining into food, it would step in, Cheeseman said.
In a letter addressed to lunch box manufacturers and suppliers
Thursday, FDA said tests by the Consumer Product Safety Commission
drew its attention to the lead content of some lunch box linings.
CPSC spokeswoman Patty Davis said Friday her organization's tests
showed the lunch boxes were safe for children to handle. According
to CPSC's results, children would have to rub their hands on the
lunch box and then lick their hands more than 600 times a day for 15
to 30 days in order to be exposed to a dangerous amount of lead.
Cheeseman said that when vinyl is manufactured, various compounds
are added to give it different properties, such as color or
softness. The FDA believes that one of the compounds used to make
the linings of the lunch boxes contains lead.
These lead-containing compounds are not necessary for producing
vinyl, said Tim Burns, president of industry trade association the
Vinyl Institute. He said he suspects that the vinyl created with
these compounds is made outside of the United States.
Cheeseman said the industry has reacted appropriately when
discussing the issue with the FDA.
The CPSC did not examine whether lead was traveling from the lunch
box to food stored inside because that is out of its jurisdiction,
Davis said. If that were to occur, it would potentially come under
FDA's jurisdiction as a food additive, Cheeseman said.

Funny Figgy Food Medicine
Just received a note from our dearest friends in Southern California
that my husband's favorite fruit will be ready to pick any day now and
he should get ready to visit again!
Now I'm not a great fan of figs but I will eat them occasionally.
Have you heard of a Fresh Fig Poultice? No! Its use is found in the
Bible in Isaiah 38:21 Works, wonders for boils and skin infections.
Figs are one of the first known natural medicines. The Roman writer
Pliny, (52-113 AD) said, "Figs are restorative. They increase the
strength of young people, preserve the elderly in better health and make
them look younger with fewer wrinkles."
Figs contain the photochemical psoralenes, which helps bring about
beneficial results in skin injuries, hence a fig poultice to draw and
infection to a head. Also beneficial in the removal of dead skin tissues
as for cosmetic use in facial scrubs, and in a skin disease involving
lack of pigmentation in patches of skin (vitiligo). I bet it is the
mineral properties contained in figs that does the trick!
Both fresh and dried figs are great medicinals! Dried, having about 5
times the amount of nutrients as fresh.
Figs have the highest overall mineral content of all common fruits. A 40
gram (1/4 cup) serving provides 244 mg of potassium (7% of the DV), 53
mg of calcium (6% of the DV) and 1.2 mg of iron (6% of the DV). On top
of that contain the calming vitamins B1 and B2.
Great for intestinal balance and cleansing Figs have the highest dietary
fiber of any common fruit, nut or vegetable. They are high in peptic
fiber, which is a soft soluble fiber and helps the body remove toxic
wastes and reduces cholesterol levels. They are good to prevent and
relieve constipation. Chinese medicine recognizes figs as a toxin
neutralizer. One of the most alkalizing foods, figs can help balance the
acid that forms from diets rich in meat and refined foods. Figs contain
significant amounts of the proteolytic enzyme Ficin which is a digestion
enzyme helping with the digestion especially of proteins.
Word of caution; check that the figs you are buying are organic and of
good quality. Fumigation is sometimes used to assure the absence of
insects in figs and sulphur dioxide is used to maintain their sweet
flavor and rich color. Dried figs infested by mites (rare but possible)
may cause severe gastrointestinal conditions if eaten. Mold attack may
cause figs to form mycotoxins, which can make you ill, so stick with
fresh when you can.
Need ideas on how and/or when to eat figs?
1. Tuck a few figs into a plastic bag for the office, school, game or
park, makes for a quick healthful snack. Satisfies to a sweet tooth.
2. Keep a container of dried organic figs in a desk drawer at work, to
satisfy late afternoon munchies, or to nibble at coffee break time.
3. Chop a few California figs to add to tossed green salads. They add
delightful sweetness and texture, as well as fiber.
4. Sweeten up mashed or cubed winter squash or sweet potatoes with some
chopped figs adding a richness of their own, so you can skip the butter
or margarine.
5. Blend low-fat cream, ricotta or cottage cheese with some figs to
create a great spread for toast or bagels, or as a dip for sliced fresh
fruit.
6. Chop some California figs to scatter over instant or regular oatmeal
or any cold cereal, skipping the sugar.
Grab a bag from your neighbor's tree and put them into your dehydrator
for future use!
Enjoy your figgy food medicine!

Type 2 Diabetes Erases
15 Years From Your Life
Although it's known that type
2 diabetes increases the risk of heart disease, a new study
found that the condition brings on fatal and non-fatal heart
attacks, strokes and other cardiovascular events 15 years
earlier than in those without diabetes, as well as significantly
shortens lifespan.
The researchers studied hospital and death records of close to
9.5 million Canadians, 379,000 of whom had diabetes. They found
that men with type 2 diabetes reached "moderate-risk" for heart
disease at an average age of 39 years, compared to age 55 for
non-diabetics.
The "high-risk" category was reached at age 49 for the diabetic
men, compared with 62 years for those without diabetes.
Among women with type 2 diabetes, moderate-risk was reached at
an average age of 46 and high-risk at an age of 56, compared to
62 and 69, respectively, for women without diabetes.
Diabetes Shortens Life Expectancy by Nearly Two Decades!
Life expectancy also took a major hit among those
with type 2 diabetes who were also at moderate or high risk of
cardiovascular disease. Those falling into that category lived
an average of 18 years less than non-diabetics.
It's estimated that 16 million to 18 million Americans have type
2 diabetes. Those who are obese have five times the risk of type
2 diabetes as those with a normal weight.

What Every Parent
Should Know About Babies' Crib Mattresses
By Jane Sheppard
and Barry A. Cik
If you are a new parent, you may not be aware of the potential
dangers of putting babies to sleep on a typical crib mattress.
Nearly all baby mattresses today contain polyurethane foam,
vinyl (PVC), phthalates, chemical fire retardants, and an
extensive list of added industrial chemicals. Some of these
chemicals have been shown to leach out into the surrounding air.
Babies and toddlers spend 10-14 hours a day sleeping and playing
on a baby mattress, and a child's every breath inhales air no
more than six inches away from these chemicals. Children are far
more vulnerable to toxic chemicals than adults, especially
during the neurological developmental period within their first
few years of life.
Here is an overview of some specific concerns with baby
mattresses:
Fortunately,
there are alternatives to the petroleum-based foam mattresses
most babies are sleeping on. Organic cotton mattresses that do
not contain any harmful chemicals are now available. For more
information on toxic chemicals and gases in mattresses and to
find the best alternatives, see the following links:
