Something To Think About
============================
Stanford Won't Let Doctors
Accept Gifts
Sep 12, 2006
By PAUL ELIAS
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Stanford University will bar physicians working at
its two hospitals from accepting even the tiniest gifts from drug
industry sales representatives to try to eliminate corporate influence
from medical decisions, the school announced Tuesday.
The policy takes effect Oct. 1 and also bans accepting gifts from other
companies such as medical device makers that do business with the
hospitals. The policy also prohibits the doctors from accepting free
drug samples and publishing articles in science journals that were ghost
written by corporate authors. The industry's sales force also would be
prohibited from areas where patients are seen and from dropping in
without appointments, a common sales tactic.
Even coffee mugs, pens and other trinkets doled out by drug companies
can't be accepted anymore.
Yale University and the University of Pennsylvania have announced
similar policies and several other institutions are considering gift
bans as they grapple with conflict of interest concerns and rising
health care costs.
"In recent years we have witnessed an erosion of the public trust in the
profession of medicine and even in the value of science," said Dr.
Philip Pizzo, Stanford's medical school dean. "Part of that is related
to the market forces that have increasingly converted medicine from a
profession to a business, but a significant factor has also been the
perception that physicians and scientists may be accepting gifts and
gratuities from industry at the very time that the cost of drugs is
skyrocketing."
In January, an article in the Journal of the American Medical
Association said current relations with pharmaceutical representatives
created conflicts of interest and urged academic medical centers to take
the lead in adopting reforms. The article said the drug industry spends
about $19 billion annually marketing to doctors.
"Gift giving creates a reciprocal obligation that is a powerful force,
and pharmaceutical companies know this very well," said David Magnus,
director of the Stanford Center for Biomedical Ethics who helped write
the new policy. "So we're discouraging it from happening anywhere at the
medical center."
The industry's trade group, the politically influential Pharmaceutical
Research and Manufacturers of America, blasted Stanford's new policy as
draconian and argued that cutting down on doctors and sales
representatives meetings would actually hamper health care.
"The sales representatives are typically very well trained and have
quite a bit of information," said Scott Lassman, a lawyer for the trade
group. "They are cutting doctors off from very useful information that
they can use to help treat their patients."
Lassman said the trade group instituted its own gift policy in 2002 that
prohibits lavish gift giving.
"Lavish, expensive meals, tickets to ball games and golf outings are
really inappropriate," Lassman said. "But if I was concerned that my
doctor was influenced by a pen or a slice of pizza, I would find another
doctor."
LENA'S COMMENT: This is great but since the doctor's are required
to have so many hours of continuing education units (CEU) yearly and the only people who offer
that are funded and backed by drug companies how can that solve the
problem? Just a drop in the bucket to changes needed but better than
nothing I guess... Without CEU's there will be no doctors... That's a
catch 22!!! I do laud Stanford for at least trying...

Even those seen at the ER don't necessarily need
antibiotics, study finds
By Serena Gordon
HealthDay Reporter
TUESDAY, Sept. 12 (HealthDay News) -- Children with acute ear infections may not
need antibiotics to get better, even when the infection is severe enough to
prompt a visit to the emergency room.
A new study found that almost two-thirds of children given a prescription for
antibiotics -- just in case -- didn't need to have the prescription filled to
get better.
"Our study evaluated a 'wait-and-see' prescription for ear infections in
children," said the study's lead author, Dr. David Spiro, who was at Yale
University School of Medicine at the time of the study. "Compared to children
who were given antibiotics, children in the wait-and-see group had the same
outcomes."
Spiro, who now heads Pediatric Emergency Medicine at Doernbecher Children's
Hospital and Oregon Health and Science University in Portland, said that by
giving parents a prescription and asking them not to fill the prescription
unless the child developed a higher fever or had continued ear pain, doctors can
empower families to become part of the child's health-care team.
Additionally, he said, by offering the wait-and-see prescriptions, doctors can
help families save time and money. That's because if the child's condition
worsens, parents don't have to take time off from work to go see the doctor
again if they already have a prescription in hand.
The study findings are published in the Sept. 13 issue of the Journal of the
American Medical Association.
Each year, about 15 million antibiotic prescriptions are filled to treat acute
ear infections -- called acute otitis media by doctors. There are several
reasons why doctors would like to see this number go down.
The first is that acute otitis media often gets better on its own, with no
treatment. That means children may be unnecessarily exposed to antibiotic side
effects. The second reason is that there's growing concern about antibiotic
resistance, and if antibiotics are given to children who really don't need them,
this will just contribute to the problem.
Previous studies have looked at children who don't have severe otitis media, and
those studies found that children often get better without antibiotic treatment.
The new study's goal was to look at a sicker group of children and see if they
could wait to take antibiotics without developing complications.
Spiro and his colleagues recruited 283 children between the ages of 6 months and
12 years old who were seen in the emergency room because of an acute ear
infection. All of the children were given ibuprofen and pain-relieving ear
drops.
One hundred and forty-five children were randomly selected for the standard
prescription group; they were given a prescription for antibiotics and told to
fill it. And there were 138 children in the "wait-and-see" group. In this group,
parents were still given a prescription, but they were asked to wait to fill it.
The parents in this group were told to fill the prescription only if the child
hadn't shown signs of improvement or had worsened in the 48 hours following
their emergency-room visit.
In the standard prescription group, 87 percent of parents filled their child's
prescriptions, while only 38 percent of the parents in the wait-and-see group
ended up doing so. There were no statistically significant differences in the
rates of fever, ear pain, and additional medical visits between the two groups.
The most common reasons that parents in the wait-and-see group ended up filling
the prescriptions were fever and ear pain.
"If your child has an uncomplicated ear infection, ask your doctor if they can
give you a wait-and-see prescription," Spiro suggested.
Dr. Irwin Benuck, attending pediatrician at Children's Memorial Hospital in
Chicago and professor of clinical pediatrics at Northwestern University, said
parents, especially younger parents, are getting the message that antibiotics
aren't always the answer for every illness.
"Pediatricians are trying as hard as they can not to prescribe antibiotics
unless they're necessary," he said.
Benuck said the new study confirms that antibiotics aren't needed for most ear
infections, though he noted that he would have preferred if the researchers had
been able to recheck the children's ears rather than rely on the parents' report
that the child was better.
Spiro said there are some children who shouldn't be given a wait-and-see
prescription. They include babies under 6 months of age, children with chronic
ear infections, and children who appear seriously ill.

FOOD OF THE WEEK
~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^
A food
delicacy with HUGE medical ramifications!
Because of it's great qualities a book could be written here about these
delicacies, but I will try to hone it down to a rather large article!
Studies have been released over the last month giving us the cancer
preventing information on mushrooms so it's only fitting that this be
our food of the week… It is also the season that mushrooms growing wild
in many parts. Because a few wild mushrooms are deadly and many more are
mildly poisonous, mushroom hunting is not a hobby for the careless or
uninformed. On the other hand, neither is it necessarily the
death-defying feat that many people imagine. There are a number of good
edible mushrooms that are easy to recognize and hard to confuse with
anything dangerously poisonous. (Poisonous mushrooms are often referred
to as "toadstools," but this is a folk name that has no precise meaning.
In this article, they will be called simply poisonous mushrooms.)
Because there are a myriad of mushrooms I am going to focus on my
favorite of the mushroom world; Reishi. Their rich, smoky flavor have
also endeared them to American taste buds and these exotic hearty
mushrooms can now be found in supermarket shelves across the U.S.
throughout the year. If your local store does not carry fresh reishi
mushrooms, investigate the Asian food stores in your area as they
oftentimes carry these specialty mushrooms.
Like other mushrooms, these specialty mushrooms are as mysteriously
unique as they are delicious. While often thought of as a vegetable and
prepared like one, mushrooms are actually a fungus, a special type of
living organism that has no roots, leaves, flowers or seeds.
Reishi is the Japanese name for the Ganoderma family of mushrooms. In
Chinese, they are called "ling-zhi." Reishi is a large, dark, mushroom
with a glossy exterior. In traditional Chinese medicine, Reishi is in
the most highly rated herb category in terms of multiple benefits, used
as a medicinal herb, absent of side effects.
There are 6 different types of Reishi differentiated only by color: red,
purple, blue, yellow, black, white, recorded in Chinese pharmacopoeia
are actually one species grown under different conditions.
History;
Reischi is believed to have been known since at least the reign of "Fuxi",
a legendary ruler of that time known also as the first of the Three
August Ones.
Seng Nong, the Holy farmer, who was the second of the Three August Ones,
is said to have discovered the curative virtues of plants by tasting
hundreds of species. "Seng Nong's Herbal Classic" is considered to be
the earliest manuscript on Chinese materia medica and is still today the
foundation of Traditional Chinese Medicine and in general all Oriental
Medicine.
Reishi also contains ergosterols, complete proteins, unsaturated fatty
acids, vitamins and minerals.
Reishi, known in China as an "elixir of immortality," has
been used for more than 3,000 years to rev up the immune system and heal
chronic inflammatory conditions. Dozens of preliminary studies support
its anti-inflammatory properties. One Chinese study found
that of the more than 2,000 people with chronic bronchitis who took
reishi syrup for two weeks, 60% to 90% said they felt better. (Reishi
syrup is a long drawn out process.)
6 species of Ling-zhi, differentiated by colors, are mentioned in the
Seng Nong classic. Li Shi Zhen, a famous medical scholar in the Ming
Dynasty (1368-1644) introduced the indications of the 6 species
concretely. The work of the latter was republished in 1956, and
translated into several foreign languages including Japanese, English,
French, German, Russian and Latin and is regarded as the cornerstone of
Traditional Chinese medicine.
Today, an estimated 4,300 tons of reischi/ling-zhi is produced yearly in
the world, with China producing 3,000 tons followed by Korea, Taiwan,
Japan, Thailand, USA, Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia and Sri Lanka.
Reishi is the Prednisone of foods!
Prednisone, the corticosteroid used to treat a variety of inflammatory
ailments -- arthritis, asthma, colitis and some cancers -- and to
prevent rejection of transplanted organs. Its nasty side effects - from
a swollen "moon face" to increased infections - are legendary. But what
many people don't know is that this medicinal reishe mushroom could, in
some cases, do as good a job without wreaking the prednisone havoc on
the body.
The best part - its side effects are as minimal as those you might have
from taking a placebo. The side effects, if any, will be less than
one-quarter of those you might have with prednisone -- and the cost is
less than one-quarter that of a drug prescription.
Medicinal Preparation in early times consisted of a long process of
boiling the mushrooms for hours or let them soak in alcohol for weeks so
as to be able to drink them after the ingredients were dissolved.
While prednisone has its place for short-term life-threatening
conditions, it may save your life. But if you have an ongoing
inflammatory condition, reishi may be the best first line of treatment.
Recently, researchers at Shanghai Medical University, Shanghai Tumor
Hospital, and Shanghai Chung San Hospital have independently isolated
from the Reishi mushroom a few species of polysaccharides which have
subsequently been shown in clinical studies to have anti-tumor
activities.
Reishi has also been shown to exert:
*Positive effects in treatment of insomnia
*Preventive effects against high altitude sickness
*Cholesterol -lowering effects
*Therapeutic effects in chronic hepatitis
*Cancer cells die!
Available in some grocery stores and health-food stores, in it's natural
form or in powder form, as well as capsules and tablets. All
observations show that Reishi has no side effects and can be consumed in
high dosages and in parallel with other medications. Its main properties
are the cleansing of blood, enhancement of the immune system and the
lessening of nervous tension. These properties are conducive to
normalizing and balancing the body and as a result preempt cure a
multitude of diseases from within.
Tips for Preparing Mushrooms:
Mushrooms are very porous, so if they are exposed to too much water they
will quickly absorb it and become soggy. Therefore, the best way to
clean mushrooms without sacrificing their texture and taste is to clean
them using minimal, if any, water. To do this, simply wipe them with a
slightly damp paper towel or kitchen cloth. You could also use a
mushroom brush, available at most kitchenware stores.
If the fresh mushrooms become dried out because of being stored for too
long, soak them in water for thirty minutes.
Our favorite way of eating is sautéed alone or with stir fry vegetables
and rice.
I simply clean, slice and sauté in butter flavored virgin olive oil.
For each two cups of sliced mushrooms use 1 Tablespoon of virgin olive
oil and to 1 teaspoon of butter (I do not use margarine for anything
because of its poisonous fat and chemicals). Heat olive oil then add
butter, melt and mix well. Add mushrooms and sauté stirring until cooked
(about 3 - 5 minutes). Add a dash of Bragg's Liquid Aminos for added
flavor just before removing from heat. Serve with other stir fried
vegetables over rice or alone over rice.
Enjoy our healthy shroom!

NIH: Scientists Escape Ethics
Punishment
Sep 12, 2006
By RITA BEAMISH
Most of the federal scientists who improperly accepted personal
money from drug or biotechnology companies walked away with
reprimands or were allowed to retire unscathed.
Only two of the 44 scientists found to have violated rules
governing private consulting deals are being investigated for
possible criminal activity, and they remain on the government
payroll, the National Institutes of Health told The Associated
Press this week in the most detailed accounting it has released.
NIH spokesman John Burklow said his agency wanted eight others
reviewed for possible crimes, but those cases were rejected by
the investigating office at the U.S. Health and Human Services
Department.
The two still outstanding - Drs. Trey Sunderland and Thomas
Walsh - both committed "serious misconduct," so grave that they
would be fired if they were civilians, NIH internal ethics
reports contend.
NIH says it has been unable to act against the two because they
are part of the Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, which
provides medical help during disasters.
Lawmakers plan to push for answers Wednesday at a House Energy
and Commerce subcommittee hearing, part of continuing scrutiny
into how the agency polices conflicts of interest. Responding to
congressional criticism, NIH last year barred federal scientists
from the once-common practice of earning lucrative paychecks
from private companies.
Rep. Bart Stupak, D-Mich., said he wants to know why it is
taking so long to resolve the case of Sunderland, a leading
Alzheimer's disease researcher whose request to leave government
service has been denied for two years.
"Where's the accountability? Where's the response?" Stupak said.
"This person should be dealt with severely."
He referred to allegations that Sunderland improperly
transferred human tissue samples from NIH patients to the drug
company Pfizer.
"These people thought they were helping other people, not some
scientist profiting," he said. Sunderland, through his attorney,
denies that his consulting payments from Pfizer were tied to
samples he provided in his government capacity.
The Public Health Service Commissioned Corps is concerned about
the allegations against Sunderland and Walsh and "will take
appropriate action should wrongdoing be found," said spokeswoman
Christina Pearson.
However she cited "other reviews" of Sunderland that her agency
must coordinate with.
Rep. Joe Barton, R-Texas, chairman of the House Energy and
Commerce Committee, said the case points out deeper problems at
NIH.
"In spite of the public changes that have been made at NIH,
there really does not appear to be a cultural change where the
institution and the members of the institution condemn the kind
of behavior that apparently Dr. Sunderland has exhibited. It's
really, really disappointing," he said.
The subcommittee is expected to question NIH officials about
documents showing it approved several taxpayer-paid trips for
Sunderland to attend conferences and events in places like
Hawaii and Toronto, even after recommending his firing. Things
changed last month when his superiors, a day after assuring
Sunderland the agency would soon negotiate his release, suddenly
restricted his access and activities and assigned him to
administrative duties, his lawyers said in a letter to the
subcommittee.
NIH investigated 103 employees after revelations in 2004 that
many had failed to report their paid relationships with drug
companies. Of the 44 alleged offenders, six left NIH before they
could be punished and two had offenses so minor they merited no
sanction, Burklow said.
The majority received reprimands or warnings for failing to
properly obtain approvals for their outside consulting work, he
said. Suspensions ranging from a week to 45 days were meted out
to a few who did not get prior approval or did not report their
drug company ties, said Burklow.
Sunderland is under investigation by the HHS inspector general
and the Justice Department, officials have said. And a
government official told AP that Walsh, a prominent cancer
researcher, is the other case the inspector general is
reviewing. The official requested anonymity because the
investigation is ongoing.
Reached at his NIH office on Monday, Walsh declined comment.
NIH ethics reports allege the two scientists had unauthorized,
unreported deals with drug companies - Sunderland earning more
than $600,000 over eight years for consulting and speeches and
Walsh more than $100,000 in five years - and that their
consulting improperly overlapped with government duties.
Lawyers for both scientists said in written defenses to NIH
investigators that the two put in exceptionally long hours at
their government jobs, even if the proper paperwork was missing
for taking leave to perform outside work.
Documents obtained by AP show Sunderland initially got a green
light to retire in November 2004 and he had his 11-year research
project transferred to a New York center where he planned to
accept a prominent post. But NIH officials subsequently
recommended against his departure and the center now is moving
on to hire someone else.
Sunderland's attorney Robert Muse cites a litany of mixed
signals Sunderland received from NIH, including months of
refusal to meet after stating a willingness to work out his
release.
Burklow, citing privacy concerns, would not discuss any
individual cases.
"The bureaucratic inaction," Muse wrote the congressional
subcommittee on Monday, "has unreasonably interfered not only
with Dr. Sunderland's career but also with his important
Alzheimer's research," which he said cost the government
millions of dollars.
Some scientists whose consultancies were negatively highlighted
in 2004 congressional hearings and press accounts left NIH
voluntarily. They suffered no repercussions.
Cancer researcher Lance Liotta said he retired in May 2005 with
pension and benefits, accepting "a great opportunity" in
research at George Mason University. His consulting activities,
though questioned after the fact by Congress, were approved at
the time, and he never was sanctioned.
Another former researcher, 33-year NIH veteran Michael
Brownstein, had held nearly $2 million in stock with four
companies whose boards he served on while he worked at NIH. The
agency approved the consulting and never accused him of
wrongdoing, said Brownstein, who continues his genetic research
at the J. Craig Venter Institute in Rockville, Md.

World Has 10-Year Window
to Act on Climate - Expert
by Mary Milliken
September 15, 2006
SACRAMENTO, Calif. - A leading US climate researcher said on
Wednesday the world has a 10-year window of opportunity to take
decisive action on global warming and avert a weather
catastrophe.
NASA scientist James Hansen, widely considered the doyen of
American climate researchers, said governments must adopt an
alternative scenario to keep carbon dioxide emission growth in
check and limit the increase in global temperatures to 1 degree
Celsius (1.8 degrees Fahrenheit).
"I think we have a very brief window of opportunity to deal with
climate change ... no longer than a decade, at the most," Hansen
said at the Climate Change Research Conference in California's
state capital.
If the world continues with a "business as usual" scenario,
Hansen said temperatures will rise by 2 to 3 degrees Celsius
(3.6 to 7.2 degrees F) and "we will be producing a different
planet."
On that warmer planet, ice sheets would melt quickly, causing a
rise in sea levels that would put most of Manhattan under water.
The world would see more prolonged droughts and heat waves,
powerful hurricanes in new areas and the likely extinction of 50
percent of species.
Hansen, who heads NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies,
has made waves before by saying that President George W. Bush's
administration tried to silence him and heavily edited his and
other scientists' findings on a warmer world.
He reiterated that the United States "has passed up the
opportunity" to influence the world on global warming.
The United States is the largest emitter of greenhouse gases,
most notably carbon dioxide. But Bush pulled the country out of
the 160-nation Kyoto Protocol in 2001, arguing that the treaty's
mandatory curbs on emissions would harm the economy.
Hansen praised California for taking the "courageous" step of
passing legislation on global warming last month that will make
it the first US state to place caps on greenhouse gas emissions.
He said the alternative scenario he advocates involves promoting
energy efficiency and reducing dependence on carbon burning
fuels.
"We cannot burn off all the fossil fuels that are readily
available without causing dramatic climate change," Hansen said.
"This is not something that is a theory. We understand the
carbon cycle well enough to say that."
