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
===================
After Cosmetic Surgery, the 'Do Over'
By SUSAN SAULNY
August 4, 2005
DENISE KUMPEL knew something was wrong as soon as the swelling went
down. Her right nostril just didn't have enough substance to stay up.
Within six weeks it had collapsed, and she was back in surgery again to
fix what turned out to be a botched nose job.
A few weeks after the second rhinoplasty, she realized that her latest
nose was abnormally flat, as if it were sinking into her face. She
looked for a new surgeon.
Not one, not two, but three more operations followed over the next three
years at a cost of more than $30,000. Finally, nine months ago, using
cartilage from her ears, Ms. Kumpel said, she got the results she had
originally sought.
"I thought I was going in for something fairly simple: I had a bump on
my bridge and didn't like my profile," Ms. Kumpel said. "But it became a
never-ending cycle. I was like, 'Is this ever going to be over?' "
While Ms. Kumpel's case might sound extreme, her experience is not that
rare. As the number of people electing to have plastic surgery continues
to rise across the country, the number of corrective revision surgeries,
or redos as they are often called, also appears to be increasing at a
rate that is high enough to cause concern among some prominent surgeons.
"I'm seeing more than I think we should, given the number of primary
procedures being reported," said Dr. Steven J. Pearlman, a facial
plastic surgeon in New York and president of the American Academy of
Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.
To be sure, some patients have multiple surgeries on a single body part
simply because they want to. For another group, however, revision
surgery is seen as necessary after complications from sloppy work or
from problems that could not have been anticipated.
While anecdotal evidence seems to suggest an increase in the number of
revision cosmetic procedures, it is nearly impossible to quantify how
many are being done - or to say if they are necessary - because the
major medical associations do not keep statistics on redos, and doctors
are not required to disclose information about revisions of their work.
These cases usually fall short of malpractice, but they still leave
patients unsatisfied and determined to risk surgery again, if they can
afford it, patients and experts said.
"Revisions and complications are underreported, and there's no easy way
to access that information," said Dr. Robert Goldberg, the chief of the
ophthalmic plastic surgery division at the Jules Stein Eye Institute at
the University of California, Los Angeles, which sees patients seeking
revisions from all over the country. "It's not something people talk
about."
If faulty cosmetic procedures are on the rise, it would be hard for the
average patient to know. Cosmetic surgeons, advertising for largely cash
business, have no incentive to disclose information about revisions of
their work or to track the long-term satisfaction of their patients. And
strong patient interest groups that might push for such information are
hard to find. Because so many procedures are elective, some cosmetic
surgery patients feel guilty about voicing even the most minor
complaints.
Ms. Kumpel, for instance, didn't want to talk much about her ordeal
until it was over. And she said she never even thought about suing the
doctors who made her nose worse. "When you go into plastic surgery, you
sign away that things can go wrong," said Ms. Kumpel, a 30-year-old
speech and language pathologist from Tuckerton, N.J. "You're not
guaranteed a good outcome."
Another cosmetic patient, Amy Longtemps, is awaiting an appointment for
a third abdominal procedure, after two operations - a tummy tuck, then
liposuction - failed to deliver the flat stomach she had expected. The
surgeries, instead of helping her postpregnancy belly look better, made
her midsection lumpy and disproportional, she said.
"It's been a learning experience," said Ms. Longtemps, 45. "I'm not
going to give up until I get what I want."
But once she gets that, Ms. Longtemps said, "I'll probably not have any
kind of cosmetic surgery again."
LENA'S COMMENT: Doesn't it make more sense to be
happy with what God gave you. Yes, I'm fully aware that there are times
when plastic surgery is necessary to repair damages from an accident or
congenital deformities. BUT simple can be not so simple when it comes to
changing your body...

According to the journal "Clinical Cornerstone",
well over 100,000 hospitalizations per year are attributed to
gastrointestinal events associated with long-term NSAIDs - Aspirin,
Advil/Motrin (ibuprofen), Aleve (naproxen sodium), Orudis KT (ketoprofen),
Relafen (nabumetone), Daypro (oxaprozin),etc. - use. About 15 percent
of those patients die as a result of their adverse reactions. That's
more than 16,000 deaths every year.

Swimming Can Be Dangerous To Your Health If Your
Body's Immune System Isn't In Top Shape!
Two Okla. Children Die of Rare Infection
Aug 5, 2005
TULSA, Okla. (AP) - Two children died Friday after being
infected with a rare parasite associated with swimming in stagnant
water, health officials said.
The boys, ages 9 and 7, did not know each other but were both believed
to have been swimming in area ponds before contracting Naegleria, an
amoeba that enters the body through the nose and can cause a deadly
inflammation of the brain.
Three city pools were closed Friday for testing, although health
officials doubt the boys contracted the disease there.
Both boys came to doctors with symptoms of fever, hallucinations and
headaches, Tulsa Health Department spokeswoman Melanie Christian said.
Of the 200 known cases of Naegleria in the past 40 years, only two
people have survived, health officials said.
If investigators determine the boys contracted the infection from a
natural body of water, the health department would work with the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers to post warning signs.

FOOD OF THE WEEK
~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~
Green and Yellow Diet and Health Food!
Vines are running rampant in many gardens right now
with this vegetable…It has enhanced our meals for weeks now.
CUCUMBERS! My husband and grandchildren think lunch and dinner
without a plate of sliced raw fresh cucumber (aka cuke) is a
crime! If they aren't eating them raw they are digging them out of the
pickle jar that I put up every year and have so many asking for…
My husband grows organic only, in three varieties, the round pimply
yellow lemon cuke, which we find so many have never seen eaten or heard
of... The long huge green slicing cukes and small pimply pickling
cukes.
The cucumber belongs to the same vegetable family as pumpkin, zucchini,
(which happens to look very much alike.) watermelon and other squashes.
Some say cucumbers are a fruit because the seeds in them will grow the
cuke. I'm not saying they are right or wrong...
First cultivated in Asia in ancient times, it was brought to America by
Columbus, and was eventually grown by both Native Americans and
colonists from Florida to Canada. Today cukes grow in a wide variety of
shapes and sizes, from the 1"-long ones sold as gherkins to mammoth
greenhouse varieties that can reach 20" or longer. Can be found in
grocery stores year round! Healthy and nutritionally sound.
The high water content in cukes make them a great diuretic for those of
you looking to lose weight and/or lower blood pressure. They also are
full of fiber making it perfect to keep your intestinal system moving
right along another great weight loss item as well as lowering blood
pressure.
Cukes are said to be great in helping in the treatment of arthritis
since it helps eliminate uric acid. Its liquid is also said to be a
rejuvenator and makes us feel and look youthful. Now who can't handle
that? If you want to try rejuvenating your skin either puree or slice a
cucumber and apply it on your face, let it sit for a half hour or so
then gently rinse off with warm mineral rich water (mineral rinse; 1
teaspoon liquid minerals to a couple quarts of warm filtered/purified
water). Cukes are touted to have the power to relax and alleviate
sunburn pain as well.
Those great Minerals making them so good for you are; Calcium,
Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium, Sodium, Zinc, Copper, Manganese
and Selenium. Of course vitamins weren't left out either they include;
C, A, E, K, B-6, B-12, Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin and Pantothenic
acid.
Eating cukes:
If your cucumbers are organic and unwaxed, you can eat them unpeeled.
Just wash them thoroughly under running water and Serve them sliced or
diced in a salad or by themselves with splash of lemon juice and salt
and pepper to taste or with a vinaigrette dressing. You can add a few
slices in a sandwich or you can even juice it along with other
vegetables to add those nutrients. Some people like them steamed like
squash but they lose most of their nutrients when cooked. Some people
have a hard time digesting raw cucumbers, why, I don't know?
Great fast food! My husband and grandchildren have
been caught eating them straight off the vine in the garden!
Eat and enjoy this diet and health food!

The right to know ends at your health!
F.D.A. Will Not Release Some Data on Heart Devices
By BARRY MEIER
August 6, 2005
The Food and Drug Administration said yesterday that it would not
release information that it receives annually from the makers of heart
devices detailing how often and why products fail. The agency called
such data a corporate trade secret.
The F.D.A. took its position in response to a Freedom of Information Act
request from The New York Times, which had sought annual reports filed
by the Guidant Corporation in connection with a defibrillator, the
Ventak Prizm 2 DR. From 2000 to 2002, Guidant made thousands of the
devices, some of which had electrical flaws that caused them to
short-circuit. In March, a college student with a flawed device died of
cardiac arrest.
The agency's position may put it at odds with Senator Charles E.
Grassley, Republican of Iowa and chairman of the Senate Finance
Committee. Senator Grassley recently wrote to the commissioner of the
F.D.A., Dr. Lester M. Crawford, asking the agency to explain why it did
not make product data from device makers' annual reports publicly
available on a regular basis.
Senator Grassley, who last year held hearings on the agency's
post-marketing scrutiny of drugs like Vioxx, said yesterday that he was
disappointed by the latest decision.
"The F.D.A. needs to find reasons to make information public rather than
working overtime to withhold findings that the public deserves to know
about," he said. "Amid the scrutiny of the last year, the F.D.A. has
acknowledged that the public wants and needs to know, but so far the
agency's actions haven't matched its words."
Under little-known F.D.A. regulations, the makers of defibrillators and
pacemakers must provide detailed data each year to the agency, including
the frequency of failure in individual models, the cause of such
failures and the number of deaths and injuries.
A defibrillator sends an electrical charge to the heart to interrupt a
chaotic and potentially fatal rhythm. A pacemaker regulates a heart that
is beating too fast or too slowly.
The product-performance data submitted to the F.D.A. by manufacturers is
more detailed than that they provide to doctors, industry officials
said.
The F.D.A. - in responding to a Times request for all annual reports
filed by Guidant in connection with the Ventak Prizm 2 DR - said that it
would not release the product performance data for that device and
similar ones made by Guidant.
The F.D.A. said yesterday that such information, be it from Guidant or
another maker, constituted confidential trade information.
"This information is a trade secret and exempt from release," an agency
official, Joy B. Lazaroff, wrote in an e-mail message.
An F.D.A. spokeswoman, Julie Zawisza, said in June that while the agency
did not make such filings public on a regular basis, it might do so if a
Freedom of Information request was filed.
In addition to the annual reports, makers are also required to file
reports with the F.D.A. on possible product failures, including those
related to potential patient injuries.
A review of the reports filed by Guidant that the F.D.A. recently placed
on its database showed that both the frequency of electrical failures of
the Ventak Prizm 2 DR and its consequences for heart patients were
increasing before the March death of a college student who had a flawed
device.
The review also showed that about 14 of the 28 known failures occurred
from January 2004 to this March. In addition, both the death of the
student, Joshua Oukrop, as well as most patient injuries potentially
related to the device's flaw took place during the same period, the
filings show.
In 2002, Guidant executives discovered that the device was prone to
short-circuiting, which would render it useless. The company fixed the
problem in 2002 but did not alert doctors for three years until it
became aware that the problem would be disclosed in other public forums.
In addition, Guidant kept selling older versions of the device even as
it was selling an improved version in which the electrical flaw was
eliminated.
Under F.D.A. regulations, a company is required to analyze the risks
posed by a device and make an assessment as to how to respond. A
manufacturer must keep records of how it made such assessments on file
for review by F.D.A. officials. Specialists on medical-device regulation
said a company was supposed to regularly review its course of action and
possibly revise it if events, like an increasing rate of product failure
reports, warranted it.
Executives of Guidant, which is based in Indianapolis, have said that
the company made all required filings with the F.D.A. regarding
individual reports of device failures and told the agency in 2003 about
the manufacturing change that fixed the flaw. Companies, however, do not
have to file risk assessments with the F.D.A.
A spokesman for Guidant, Steven Tragash, declined to respond to written
questions on the frequency of the risk assessments of the Prizm 2 DR,
including if one had been done in March when Mr. Oukrop died and another
heart patient nearly died. The role of the device in both incidents is
not clear.
Mr. Tragash declined to make the chief executive, Ronald W. Dollens, or
the head of its heart device unit, R. Frederick McCoy Jr., available to
be interviewed. Guidant also did not respond to written questions about
when, or if, Mr. Dollens and Mr. McCoy became involved in discussions on
whether to issue an alert about the Prizm 2 DR to doctors.
In December, Guidant, which derives about half of its revenue from
defibrillator sales, agreed to be acquired by Johnson & Johnson in a
deal worth $25.4 billion.
The exact number of problem reports filed by Guidant each year in
connection with the Prizm DR could not be determined because the reason
for a device's failure is not always readily apparent from the language.
But the filings indicate that Guidant made 2 reports in 2002 about
short-circuiting in the Prizm 2 DR; some 8 such reports in 2003; some 11
reports in 2004; and 4 in the first three months of this year.

Chemist Tries to Solve World's Energy Woes
Aug 6, 2005
By BRIAN BERGSTEIN
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) - A U.S. chemist is trying to determine how the
world will produce enough energy to supply 9 billion people by
mid-century - and whether that can be done without pumping
off-the-charts amounts of carbon dioxide into the air.
Daniel Nocera, 48, is working to achieve an old, elusive dream: using
the bountiful energy in sunlight to split water into its basic
components, hydrogen and oxygen. The elements could then be used to
supply clean-running fuel cells or new kinds of machinery. Or the energy
created from the reaction itself, as atomic bonds are severed and
re-formed, might be harnessed and stored.
There is a beautiful model for this: photosynthesis. Sunlight kickstarts
a reaction in which leaves break down water and carbon dioxide and turn
them into oxygen and sugar, which plants use for fuel.
But plants developed this process over billions of years, and even so,
it's technically not that efficient. Nocera and other scientists are
trying to replicate that - and perhaps improve on it - in decades.
Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe, but it's
generally locked up in compounds with other elements. Currently, it is
chiefly harvested from fossil fuels, whose use is the main cause of
carbon dioxide emissions blamed for global warming.
And so while hydrogen fuel cells - in which hydrogen and oxygen combine
to produce electricity and water - have a green reputation, their
long-term promise could be limited unless the hydrogen they consume
comes from clean sources.
That's where Nocera's method comes in. If it works, it would be free of
carbon and the epitome of renewable, since it would be powered by the
sun. Enough energy from sunlight hits the earth every hour to supply the
world for months. The challenge is harnessing it and storing it
efficiently, which existing solar technologies do not do.
"This is nirvana in energy. This will make the problem go away," Nocera
said one morning in his office at the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology, where the Grateful Dead devotee has a "Mean People Suck"
sticker on his window. "If it doesn't, we will cease to exist as
humanity."
Lots of people have explored this challenge, but Nocera had a big
breakthrough when he used light to coax multiple hydrogen atoms out of
liquid. The key was figuring out the right chemical catalyst.
Nocera's 2001 paper on the process in the journal Science, written with
graduate student Alan Heyduk, turned heads. Venture capitalists rang his
phone off the hook offering to fund him in an alternative-energy
company.
The achievement, and its revolutionary prospects, won Nocera this year's
Italgas Prize, a $100,000 award given annually by an Italian utility to
a top energy researcher.
"Dan is even-money (odds) to solve this problem," says Harry Gray, a
renowned California Institute of Technology chemist who was Nocera's
graduate adviser.
But there's a catch. In fact, there's a few, and they illustrate how
hard it can be to move alternative energy beyond the proof-of-concept
phase.
Nocera has performed the reaction with acidic solutions, but not water
yet.
The catalyst he used was a compound that included the expensive metal
rhodium. To be a practical energy solution, it will have to be made from
inexpensive elements like iron, nickel or cobalt.
Nocera's reaction got the photons in light to free up hydrogen atoms,
but that's only half the equation. The harder part will be to also
capture the oxygen that emerges when water molecules are split. That
way, both elements can be fed into a fuel cell, making the process as
efficient as possible.
Nocera and scientists not affiliated with his work say those steps are
achievable. But first, major advances in basic chemistry will be
necessary for the reactions to be well understood.
As a result, Nocera believes it might be 20 years before engineers might
design systems based on his work. And he frets that too few scientists
are exploring the problem, with many top minds instead focused on
biomedical research.
"This is a massive construction project," he says. "You can go back to
building New York City in the '20s and '30s. You can't do it with just a
few construction workers. So I need more construction workers, more hard
hats, with me as a hard hat."
There's another big hurdle. While Nocera plugs away at trying to save
the world, some people don't believe it needs saving.
Most scientists concur that continuing to burn fossil fuels will send
the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere - it's now 35 percent
higher than in preindustrial times - to dangerous levels, causing global
temperatures to rise with potentially devastating effects.
"We are literally poisoning ourselves," Nocera says. "People don't get
it because they can't see it."
But this is a famously politicized topic in the United States, where
some powerful political leaders question the science behind global
warming. And that, many scientists say, diverts attention and funds from
trying to solve the problem.
And even among people who believe global warming's risks are too great
to ignore, there is no consensus on what kind of green energy should
come to the rescue.
Nocera cites a calculation by Caltech chemist Nathan Lewis that power
demands in 2050 will be so great that just to keep carbon dioxide
emissions at twice preindustrial levels, a nuclear plant would have to
be built every two days. There's not enough room on the planet's surface
for other widely touted solutions such as wind and biomass to have much
impact.
Only the sun is the answer, Lewis argues.
Critics of that vision say many energy technologies being explored -
including improved ways of storing electricity and different kinds of
fuel cells - will come online in the next few decades and throw off
today's extrapolations about the future.
Arno Penzias, who won the Nobel Prize for confirming the Big Bang and
now invests in alternative energy startups for New Enterprise
Associates, contends there are dozens of ideas more promising than ones
involving hydrogen.
When told about Nocera's project, Penzias gets heated, saying it is
unlikely to be practical.
"It is so far from being revolutionary that it's not even worth
mentioning," Penzias says. "It will be a big yawn."
Nocera seems to thrive on such opposition, because he expects to prove
naysayers wrong.
It's part of his blunt enthusiasm, which manifests itself when he
discusses the joys of teaching chemistry to freshmen ("They love me") or
when he meets with his grad students to discuss the status of their
research.
Those sessions often devolve into arguments over the meaning of some
data or the direction that projects ought to take. Provoked by Nocera's
intensity - he'll exclaim, "I'm dying here!" in a tone resembling
neurotic comic Larry David - tempers often rise.
One student recently threw an eraser at Nocera, leaving a pink welt on
his back that Nocera later showed off with a laugh.
"There were times I absolutely hated working for him, because he knew
how to press all of my buttons and drive me absolutely insane," says
Heyduk, now assistant professor of chemistry at the University of
California, Irvine. "He knew I was the kind of person that needed to be
challenged all the time."
Nocera believes this constant prodding at what's possible is the essence
of science. As evidence, he reels off several ancillary developments
from his research, including microscopic sensors that detect biological
hazards, which attracted funding from the Defense Advanced Research
Projects Agency.
Pointing to a whiteboard sketch of his vision for using sunlight to
split water, Nocera acknowledges that it ultimately might not be an
energy panacea.
"Is it right? Maybe not. But it will be something. And it might be
something I can't see right now," he says. "That's OK. But you don't
stop doing something because you can't see it. It's antiscientific. It's
anti-intellectual."
