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)

Greetings and thank you for being a faithful subscriber!
Winter is really here, expecting snow flurries today and tomorrow but
the prediction for Tuesday didn't happen, so who knows this may be a
false weather report as well. Cold outside but cozy inside my office and
I can watch the cold wind blow the leaves off the trees as I look out my
window. The summer seemed to fly by and I think I missed some of it.
Being very busy can do that!
I see the flu shot rush also started the flu season a bit early this
year. Happens every time, but usually not as many flood to get the
vaccine at once or as early as this year's shortage panic, making it
push it's nasty head out and sooner, but in another 10 days (after
Halloween trick-or-treat night) it will be hitting the younger
population, so get ready!!! People get the flu shot and then a large
number always comes down with the flu but the danger now lies with the
nasal FluMist being pushed on people, anyone with a compromised immune
system that shares a room with a person having gotten the FluMist, in
the last 72 hours, is in danger of getting the flu, as it spreads it to
the very people who cannot afford to catch it... Of course the
powers-that-be says the shot/vaccine MAY lessen the flu symptoms. I bet
anyone getting the flu afterward won't believe that unless they suffer
from stick-thy-head-in-the-sand syndrome! Today's Spotlight offers a
solution to the flu dilemma if you will only use it!

Something To Think About
============================
If You Use Aspirin Or NSAIDs, Don't Take Vitamins At
The Same Time
Arthritis patients can benefit greatly from a comprehensive multivitamin
and mineral plan, and from the use of herbs like ginger and white willow
bark. Vitamin C has recently been
demonstrated to ease osteoarthritis pain. Rheumatoid arthritis patient s
tend to have low blood levels of zinc, folic acid, and vitamin C, and
supplements are recommended for these patients as well.
What many arthritis patients don't know is that taking herbs or other
nutritional supplements at the same time as their non-steroidal
anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs?aspirin or other drugs
commonly used to treat arthritis pain) will prevent their bodies from
getting the most out of their supplement plan.
Aspirin and other NSAIDs can cause vitamins, herbs, and other
supplements to be broken down more quickly in the gastrointestinal
tract, as well as reducing absorption of nutrients into the bloodstream.
Rheumatologist James McKoy, M.D. recommends that arthritis patients take
supplements approximately two or three hours before or after taking
NSAIDs?long enough for
one to be completely broken down and absorbed before the other enters
the body.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY!
=======================
Whether we like it or not, medicine is essentially
a marketplace, and the patient is ultimately a consumer who must make
choices from among the many options offered by both conventional and
alternative practitioners. When it comes to cancer, these choices are
made all the more bewildering and onerous by the fact that decisions
must bemade quickly.

TODAY'S HEALTH TIP
~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~
Tips for coming out of a hospital stay healthy and
alive.
Hospital-acquired infections are on the rise. These dangerous infections
are difficult to cure, especially when they affect the elderly and those
with compromised immune systems. CDC data indicate that more than 70% of
the bacteria that cause hospital-acquired infections are resistant to at
least one of the drugs most commonly used to treat them and a large
number are resistant to all antibiotics thereby killing the patient.
We've all heard stories of people entering the hospital for a "minor"
procedure only to suffer complications or even death. According to the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), nearly two million
Americans each year get an infection in the hospital and more than
90,000 die as a result.
If you must enter the hospital, in elective admissions or whenever
possible, give your immune system a boost. Optimally, begin the boosting
regimen one week before entering the hospital and then continue during
your hospital stay. With your herbal/alternative knowledgeable doctor's
permission... (The first four of these are also good for preventing
the flu and other viruses.)
* MegaNutrient Vitamin Supplement three times daily.
* Ionic Liquid mineral 20 drops morning and noon. (This
should be a daily supplement before, during and forever after . Read the
ABC's Of Minerals)
* A probiotic (the good bacteria): Chew 1 morning and evening. If
using someone else's probiotic make sure it contains 500,000 viable
organisms!
* Ionic Silver Water 1 Tablespoon three times daily, one week before and
during hospitalization, and for two weeks following any antibiotics,
drug or surgery.
* Place your own air purifier in the room, with the hospital's consent.
* Have a family or friend who will support you and supervise your care
while you are in the hospital.
* Keep a copy of your medical records on hand, including a list of all
the medications you take. Read the patient's bill of rights you receive
when admitted, to be aware of who to contact if you have questions or
concerns.
* Hand washing: according to the CDC, hand washing still is the single
most important procedure for preventing hospital-acquired infections.
Make sure that health-care workers wash their hands before touching you
for any reason. (Be bold and demand it!)
* Regularly wash your own hands carefully and thoroughly, especially
after using the bathroom.
* Ask friends and relatives not to visit if they are ill, and encourage
them to frequently wash their hands if they do visit.
* Inform your doctor that, whenever possible, you wish to avoid
high-risk procedures, such as urinary catheterization. If this is not
advisable, catheters should be left in for as little time as possible.
* Keep the skin around dressings, catheters and drainage tubes clean and
dry. If a dressing becomes loose or gets wet or a tube becomes loose or
dislodged, promptly inform your nurse.
* If you are diabetic, have your blood sugar properly monitored. High
blood sugar increases the risk for infection.
Most important, don't be afraid to speak up, express your concerns
and ask questions. You know your body best and are the best advocate
for your own health. If you're not up to the task, ask a family member
or close friend to speak for you. Command your rights!

FOOD OF THE
WEEK
~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~
A tiny little food with a big taste!
As I spooned on my capers to my fettuccini I began to wonder what
exactly were these little dark things and were they nutritious or not? I
know I like the taste but my husband doesn't. I've had them in many
pasta salads over the years but really have no idea how nutritious they
are?
Well, here's what I found out after going through over 200 pieces of
information and thinking the nutrient information would be in the next
book or article, but alas never to be? The reason I'm actually
publishing this is because of the many hours spent trying to study out
this tiny little bud so I felt justified in passing on what little
information I did find. I also figured cabbages have many healthy
nutrients so this little guy deserved some mention and I expect healthy
nutrients?
The Capper [Capparis spinosa "Cruciferae"] is part of the cabbage family
containing almost 250 species, most of which are herbs growing in
temperate regions of the Northern hemisphere. It is unusual in that it
loses its leaves during the rainy seasons and retains them during the
dry season. It is called the "Rose of the Mediterranean."
Strange but true, Capers are the unopened green flower buds of the
Capparis spinosa, a wild and cultivated prickly, perennial bush grown
mainly in Mediterranean countries (southern France, Italy, and Algeria)
and also in California. Manual labor is required to gather capers, for
the buds must be picked each morning just as they reach the proper size.
Now I know why they are so expensive? After the buds are picked, they
are usually sundried, then pickled in vinegar or salt brine. A good rule
to follow; Rinse before using to flush away as much salt as possible.
Capers can range in size from that of a tiny peppercorn (the petite
variety from southern France, considered the finest) to some as large as
the tip of your little finger (from Italy). I prefer the small ones.
As for nutrients. I was unable to find much in that department so I'm
still left wondering exactly what Capers consist of. I did find that
they are mainly water (about 85%). The dry matter contains bitter
flavonoid glycosides, a mustard oil glycoside named glucocapparin.
According to the "Doctrine of Signatures," it will affect the body part
it resembles (said to resemble testes) and therefore was used as an
aphrodisiac. One encyclopedia said that it is the hyssop talked of in
the Bible, but I could not find anything else to back up that statement.
Cretan Agapios Monachos in his manuscript of the 15th century he writes:
"consume capers with vinegar and oil. If the caper is salted, dip it in
water, then consume it before each meal." In the same paragraph he makes
reference to interesting medicinal benefits of the caper: "it cures the
spleen, destroys vermin, heals the hemorrhoids, increases the vitality
of the sperm, cures liver ailments and cramps, mobilizes the urinary
bladder, facilitates menstruation, and prevents rheumatism." The 15th
century had some good and some bad medicinal things so take it for what
it is worth. I'm not saying it's so or not so, but since it's part of
the cabbage I family prefer to think it's probably so!
I did find that parts of the bush, from which they grow, the roots and
stems of the Woolly Caper Bush Capparis are popular in southern African
traditional medicine and used for various conditions such as malaria,
rheumatism, insanity, snake-bite, jaundice, headache, cough, pneumonia,
tuberculosis and leprosy. This plant is also used to prevent abortion
and treat infertility (van Wyk & Gericke 2000). However, this
species evidently can be poisonous when used wrong. Nothing said about
nutrients in the bud itself?
Capers can lend piquancy to many sauces and condiments; they can also be
used as a garnish for meat and vegetable dishes. I add it to most of my
pasta dishes?
Byzantine Pavlos Aeginitis recommends consumption of the caper served on
a slice of bread topped with vinegar honey. I've never had it that way,
but might just try it...
This is an out of this world Pasta fettuccine with capers!

Groups Question Industry-Paid Doctors
Oct 16, 2004
By MARILYNN MARCHIONE
They led influential medical groups, starred at prestigious
meetings, published in top journals and were undisputed giants
in their field. But when these famous doctors advised the
government recently on new cholesterol guidelines for the
public, something else they had in common wasn't revealed.
Eight of the nine were making money from the very companies
whose cholesterol-lowering drugs they were urging upon millions
more Americans. Two own stock in them. Two others went to work
for drug companies shortly after working on the guidelines.
Another was a senior government scientist who moonlights for 10
companies and even serves on one of their boards.
Consumer groups and others now are questioning not only the
advice these doctors gave but also their fundamental ability to
act in the public's best interest.
It comes as some of these companies lobby the government to let
drugs at the center of this controversy - statins such as
Lipitor and Zocor - be sold over the counter. Prominent doctors
with ties to statin makers are urging approval.
There's little doubt that statins save lives or that too few
people take them now. But critics say the doctors' coziness with
drug companies compromises their credibility and undercuts their
latest advice that more people would benefit from these
medications.
Conflicts of interest are increasingly common now that
two-thirds of medical research at universities is funded by
private industry. Twenty years ago, only one-third was.
"The government is not producing drugs. All the big statin
trials have been paid for by the companies," said Dr. Scott
Grundy, a University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center
cardiologist who headed the cholesterol panel.
Government has its own problems. A ban on private consulting was
lifted a decade ago, and recent years have seen one scandal
after another involving federal scientists taking money from
companies directly affected by their decisions.
Conflicts also have bedeviled trusted groups like the American
Heart Association, which rely on private cash for meetings and
activities, and the continuing medical education system, which
often gives doctors credits for attending drug-company-sponsored
talks.
The drug industry spent $2 billion in 2001 on events for doctors
- double what it spent five years earlier, Dr. Jerome Kassirer,
former editor-in-chief of the New England Journal of Medicine,
reports in his new book, "On the Take."
"The time has come to ask whether all of the money floating
around medicine has created a pattern of corruption," he writes.

World's Largest Atom-Smashing Lab Turns 50
By ALEXANDER G. HIGGINS
GENEVA (AP) - Scientists and European leaders on Tuesday celebrated 50
years of research that led to the birth of the World Wide Web and
discoveries that have shed light on the origins of the universe.
French President Jacques Chirac and King Juan Carlos of Spain were among
those who attended ceremonies marking the founding of the European
Organization for Nuclear Research, which goes by its original French
initials, CERN.
"When the 12 founding member states ratified the CERN convention Sept.
29, 1954, they gave the new organization a mission to provide first
class facilities, to coordinate fundamental research - in particle
physics - and to help reunite the countries of Europe after two world
wars," said CERN's Director-General Robert Aymar.
King Juan Carlos noted that CERN was intended to stop the brain drain
from postwar Europe to the United States and helped Europe regain the
position it had held earlier in the 20th century.
"CERN is certainly the leading particle physics laboratory in the world,
a center of excellence that attracts world experts in the field," the
king said.
After the U.S. Congress pulled the plug on the construction in Texas of
the proposed Superconducting Super Collider in 1993, CERN became the
focus of much of the world's research into matter and into understanding
the origins of the universe.
"I would like to salute the 6,500 scientists from 80 countries who are
working at CERN," Chirac said.
"They represent half the world's researchers specializing in particle
physics."
Richard Webb, a 25-year-old British scientist at CERN, told The
Associated Press, "The scale of the experiments we perform is so huge
that no one institute or even country can conduct them alone."
"CERN is a mixing place of different nationalities and that's good
because it helps everyone to learn from each other," Webb said. "That's
what science is about, and when we work together we can achieve much
more."
