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)

with war raging in Iraq and people dying every minute of the day and
lives totally disrupted and then along came
the earthquake creating the Tsunami that has killed thousands and thousands injured
with millions without shelter, food or medical care. We need to take some time to pray for

Something To Think About
============================
It does not pleasure me to report this tidbit but I
feel it is necessary since I have readers from all over the world! I
also would like you to know that I would not allow such dangers to exist
for anyone anywhere in the world if I had the ability to make those
decisions! Saying Made in USA doesn't mean better every time! Changes
need to be made here at home!
You may have thought that dangerous household products that are stopped
at U.S. ports or discovered on store shelves are either repaired or
destroyed. But millions of hazardous products, including toys, cribs,
electrical goods, and flammable clothing, have been gathered up and sent
abroad. Here are some examples:
· Wellmax extension cords were
shipped to Panama in 2001 after nearly a million of them were recalled
in the U.S. because their undersized wires could overheat and cause a
fire. The CPSC notified Panamanian officials about the danger but had no
authority to stop their exportation. In July 2004 we found some of the
defective cords for sale over the Internet, for ?export only,? by
Wellmax, an importer in Santa Fe Springs, Calif.
· Balloon-tongue "Zapper" toys were
exported to the Dominican Republic in 2001, after 835,000 distributed by
eight toy companies in the U.S. were recalled because children could
inhale the balloons or choke. In August 2004 we found them still being
sold in a party-goods store in Santiago, Dominican Republic.
· More than 500 flammable girls' and
women's chenille sweaters were shipped to Israel and Japan in 1999. They
failed U.S. flammability standards and would burn faster than newspaper
if ignited, according to a CPSC recall notice. (The company, BCBG Max
Azria, was fined for trying to sell some of the recalled sweaters to
employees at its company store in California.)
Laws differ among countries; what is banned in the U.S. may be legal
somewhere else. But some experts have said that allowing unsafe goods to
be re-exported gives manufacturers less incentive to meet U.S. standards
in the first place. Moreover, in a global economy, vigorous trade means
that what goes around comes around. Commerce in dangerous products
ultimately threatens all consumers.
Yet the export of unsafe products is a practice so obscure that the
current and former heads of the CPSC say they know little about it. Ann
Brown, commission chairwoman from 1994-2001, says she didn't focus on
the issue but added, "Anything that is not good enough for the United
States should not be sent abroad." Hal Stratton, the current chairman,
asked, "Has this happened since I've been around? I don't know of any
countries or consumers who have complained about that. I think it is a
serious issue. I think it's something we probably need to look at."

Washing Your Hair May be Dangerous to Your Health
When taking a shower, it is doubtful the thought, "How is this shampoo
affecting my nerves ?" ever comes to mind. Though perhaps more people
should pay attention to the products they are using on a daily basis, as
some contain a potentially dangerous chemical, methylisothiazolinone
(MIT), which may have detrimental effects on the nervous system.
While the purpose of MIT is to prevent bacteria from developing,
researchers found that contact with it restricted growth of axons and
dendrites of immature nerves found in rat brain cells. The rat studies
also showed that chronic exposure to this chemical led to a malfunction
in the way neurons communicate with one another. One researcher
explained that direct exposure to high concentrations of MIT would
irritate the skin because it can damage skin cells. Yet since the
chemical only affects the cells it comes in contact with, there is no
way the chemical can get into the bloodstream and go to the brain.
Based on their findings, researchers concluded that people working
directly with MIT are the most at risk; however, additional tests still
must be administered in order to determine if MIT is harmful to humans
in the concentrations found in household products.

FOOD OF THE
WEEK
~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~
The Christmas Fruit
This one fruit seems to make its appearance around Christmas time in
more homes than usual. It might just be because they are coming into
harvest or it has been passed down from generation to generation as the
fruit to put in every child's stocking. Whatever the reason that they
occupy a place of honor for this time of the year that orange ball is
healthy, nutritious and a very enjoyable food.
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. I have not
bothered to count the segments inside an orange so maybe that's true and
maybe not? I have more important things to do than count segments!
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, is thought to be the result of a mutation that occurred
in 17th century Sicily. In most varieties of blood orange even the pulp
and skin is 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 sliced peaches
or sliced strawberries or Mandarin Orange slices replacing the syrup)
any one works well and tastes great without the sickening sweet syrup to
throw the insulin pump out of kilter for hours.
An apple a day keeps the doctor away but so does an orange a day!
Build a healthy immune system!

Busting Big Pharma
Robert Lusetich
December 16, 2004
WHAT happens when a
slick sales force of 87,000 is set loose with billions of
dollars to wine and dine, entertain and educate the US's 600,000
doctors?
The short answer is that six years ago Americans spent $US89
billion on prescription drugs. Last year the amount exploded to
$US149 billion. In the year to March 2004, Australia spent $5.8
billion on prescription drugs.
The US accounts for half of all global profits for Big Pharma,
as the pharmaceutical corporations are known.
"The result of all those attractive women in short skirts armed
with pseudo-science invading the practices of doctors is that
Americans are over-medicated, taking far too many drugs, most of
which they don't even need, and they are paying too much for
them," says Jerome Kassirer, a former editor of The New England
Journal of Medicine and prominent critic of Big Pharma.
Beyond the skyrocketing profits, however, lies a darker picture
of a virtually unregulated omnipotent industry whose
questionable practices - some call them criminal - in the quest
for higher revenues has turned Big Pharma into the latest
corporate villain.
As a growing army of critics - and the courts - fling open the
doors of the world's leading drug companies to reveal
unfavourable buried studies, the parallels to Big Oil, Big
Banking and, the most notorious of all, Big Tobacco are
striking.
"These guys and their ethics are precisely where Big Tobacco was
20 years ago," says Peter Breggin, a prominent New York
psychiatrist who has campaigned against the spread of
controversial antidepressants.
Scandals, such as US pharmaceutical giant Merck & Co yanking its
$US2.5billion ($3.3 billion) a year blockbuster painkiller Vioxx
off the market on September 30 after the company belatedly
conceded it was causing heart attacks and strokes, have led to
an unprecedented erosion in public trust.
In the past year 300,000 Australians - about one-third of
patients suffering osteoarthritis - used Vioxx. Since its
September withdrawal more than 600 Australians who suffered
heart attacks, strokes and blood-related illnesses after taking
the drug have joined a multi-billion-dollar class action against
Merck.
"For decades both the public and physicians thought the
pharmaceuticals were looking out for the health and welfare of
society and never challenged what the industry claimed," says
Arnold Relman, emeritus professor of medicine at Harvard Medical
School.
"Now everyone is starting to wise up to an industry [that] is
hugely profitable and driven, obsessed with making more profits
and to do that by any means it can, even if it means stretching
laws, stretching ethics."
A flurry of new books by high-profile authors - including
Kassirer and Marcia Angell, another former editor at The New
England Journal of Medicine - as well as court cases, such as
the one against the antidepressant Paxil brought by New York's
crusading Attorney-General Eliot Spitzer, reveals the way in
which Big Pharma has managed to generate profits and cover up
its skeletons.
The system is enabled, say reform-minded doctors, by the US Food
and Drug Administration ? which generates most of its budget
from drug companies and has proven to be "nothing but a lapdog",
Angell says - as well as by physicians who blithely accept
dubious studies provided by drug company sales representatives.
"Suppose you are a big pharmaceutical company. You make a drug
that is approved for a very limited use. How could you turn it
into a blockbuster?" Angell says.
"You could simply market the drug for unapproved, or off-label,
uses even though it's against the law to do so. You do that by
carrying out 'research' that falls way below the standard
required for FDA approval, then 'educating' doctors about any
favourable results. That way you circumvent the law [because
doctors can prescribe whatever drugs they see fit].
"You could say you were not marketing for unapproved uses; you
were merely disseminating the results of research to doctors,
who can legally prescribe a drug for any use. But it would be
bogus education about bogus research. It would really be
marketing."
Nowhere is this better illustrated than with the antidepressants
known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, a class of
drug of dubious benefit that, through savvy marketing, has
become a multi-billion-dollar cash cow.
A staggering one in 10 women in the US are on these drugs. In
Australia, there was a 350 per cent increase in prescriptions
for SSRIs - such as Prozac, Zoloft and Paxil - between 1990 and
2002.
Yet, says Breggin, who has appeared at trials on behalf of
people who commit crimes or of families who have lost a family
member to suicide while under the influence of SSRIs, "not only
do these drugs not work but they're [also] dangerous".
Karen Barth Menzies, a Los Angeles lawyer who is perhaps the
leading antidepressant litigation attorney in the world,
explains the disease is marketed and sold in order to sell the
drugs.
"That's why it's been so successful," she says. "The drug's a
narcotic, it's an upper, so no wonder you feel better."
Kassirer says drug companies - the most powerful special
interest in Washington, with an army of 700 lobbyists - have
public relations firms draw up "research papers" based on
selective studies, conducted by medical researchers who dare not
go against the company line, to promote their drugs and then
have "experts" put their names to them, often just parroting
what the company wants disseminated.
"These councils with the official sounding names, the alliance
of something or the foundation for something, what are they
doing?" he asks. "They're doctors who are being paid to promote
awareness of some condition [that] invariably is treated by a
drug made by the drug company [that] is bankrolling the council.
"The system is awash in drug company money and it's corrupt. All
this money and favours is forcing doctors to do things that I
think are pretty terrible. It creates deception, erodes
professionalism and is destroying the profession.
"If anybody is up to their ears in conflicts of interest, it's
psychiatrists."
Critics say some mental illnesses are invented by panels of
psychiatrists - who in turn are paid large sums by drug
companies - to sell drugs. Kassirer cites the example of
executive dysfunction, a new-found disease supposedly marked by
fatigue, apathy, bad mood and an inability to communicate
clearly. Yet even those who diagnose executive dysfunction say
that it has no standard medical definition and is better
regarded as a concept, he says.
"But it doesn't stop them prescribing drugs for the so-called
condition," Kassirer says.
Barth Menzies says she has seen evidence for years that the drug
companies knew their antidepressants not only didn't work but
were causing suicidal or violent tendencies among some users,
yet tried to hide the evidence for fear of financial loss.
"The internal documents we've found through discovery show what
a total sham these antidepressants are," she says. "The science
is bought and paid for, experts are willing to sell their names
and their souls, the whole thing's been an amazing web of lies
and fraud.
"I used to think, 'How many people have to die before someone
does something about it?' And then I saw the answer. In their
greed to find new markets, they started pushing SSRIs on kids. I
knew that once kids started dying, someone would finally say
enough is enough."
Authorities in Britain were the first to ban the prescribing of
SSRIs - except Prozac, although even the FDA now agrees that
Prozac works in the same way and has the same inherent dangers -
to children and adolescents.
In the US - where more than 1 million youngsters are on these
drugs - the FDA was forced to issue a black box warning on the
SSRIs, while Spitzer has filed fraud charges against
GlaxoSmithKline, the world's second largest drug maker, for
blatantly hiding or trying to spin negative findings of clinical
trials of Paxil's effects on children and teenagers.
GSK settled the suit but is facing an avalanche of lawsuits from
people whose children hurt or even killed themselves - or others
- while on the drugs. Part of GSK's settlement forced it to
publish findings of all trials on its website, though critics
say this needs to be independently monitored. Meanwhile, Big
Pharma is fighting efforts in Washington to force all trials,
irrespective of their results, to be made public.
"I'm not that hopeful for any real change," Angell says. "They
have bought politicians and doctors. They've looked at everyone
and anyone who could stand in their way and they've thrown money
at them. The only hope we have is a grassroots revolution that
will make the politicians decide they love votes more than drug
company money."
It is little wonder that Michael Moore, whose scathing films on
the gun lobby and President George W. Bush have been among the
most successful documentaries in history, is pointing his lens
at Big Pharma. And the working title of his proposed
documentary? Sicko.

Wintertime No Holiday for Allergy-Prone Kids More
time indoors spells trouble; simple steps can help
By E.J. Mundell
HealthDay Reporter
SATURDAY, Dec. 25 (HealthDayNews) -- Ah, winter: low levels of ragweed,
pollen and other outdoor allergens means kids with allergies can finally
breathe easier, right?
Wrong. For too many children, wintertime means more time spent inside,
with higher exposures to indoor allergy triggers such as dust mites,
pets and mold, experts say.
"They get worse once the windows are shut and the heat goes on," said
Dr. David J. Resnick, a professor of pediatrics at the Morgan Stanley
Children's Hospital of New York-Presbyterian, in New York City.
Dust mites -- microscopic bugs that feed off dead human skin cells left
in beds, carpets and upholstery -- are "the big one" when it comes to
indoor allergens, said Dr. Shelly Harvey, a Dallas-based allergy
specialist and spokeswoman for the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma &
Immunology.
Harvey said even the cleanest homes will have dust mites. In fact, "they
find dust mites in mattresses right out of the factory," she said. "They
are in everybody's mattress and there's no way to get rid of them."
Cats, dogs and other furry family friends are another prime source of
allergens, as are less-welcome household "visitors" such as cockroaches
and mold.
But Resnick and Harvey said there are cheap, effective ways of keeping
allergy-prone kids from indoor allergens this winter.
Zip it up. "Cover the mattress, box spring and pillow with special
dust-proof covers that have zippers on them," Resnick said. These covers
are cheap and made of a material that "allows the mattress and pillow to
breathe but they filter out the dust mite particles," he said. Bed
linens should be washed in water over 140 degrees. And stuffed animals
should be removed from children's bedrooms. So should wall-to-wall
carpeting because it's a perfect place for mites to proliferate.
Find Fido a new home (or bedroom). Ideally, "if kids are allergic to a
cat or dog, the recommendation is to not have a cat or dog," Harvey
said. Still, many families aren't willing to give up a beloved pet. In
those cases, she said, "the animal needs at least to be kept out of the
child's bedroom."
Keep roaches ravenous. Fumigation and well-placed traps can keep
cockroaches at bay, but denying them food works even better. "This means
common-sense stuff, like cleaning up food after meals and before bed, or
sealing food tight," Harvey said.
Look for leaks. "With mold, parents should look under sinks, behind
toilets, behind the fridge -- find where there might be any water leaks
or moisture buildup, and get rid of that moisture," Resnick said. Mold
can also settle on the decaying leaves of houseplants, so plants should
be kept out of children's rooms, he said.
The experts also discourage the use of humidifiers or vaporizers unless
absolutely necessary. If you must use a humidifier, keep it clean and
change the water often, to avoid contamination by mold and bacteria.
Central humidifiers should be sprayed with an anti-mold cleanser, they
said.
Allergies and asthma often go hand-in-hand, so parents should be on the
lookout for signs of allergy in asthmatic children. "An asthmatic who
has allergies playing a role with their asthma will have problems with
all these allergens that we just mentioned," Resnick said. "Instead of
them having symptoms of runny nose and sneezing and itchy eyes, they'll
have the coughing and the wheezing."
Resnick and Harvey agreed that allergies don't always go away once the
summer allergen season is over. "The rest of the world may not know it,"
Resnick said, "but allergy patients with winter symptoms certainly do."
