An Organic Prescription 17 y
Organic foods as a preventative measure gains hold in some health circles
David Fox, a West Coast entrepreneur looking for his next business opportunity in sustainability, recently had the unfortunate experience of checking his wife into a local hospital.
Fox and his family have been organic food consumers for decades.
When the hospital nutritionist arrived for a visit, Fox held up a can of Ensure -- a beverage recommended for recovering patients -- and said, ”People are trying to get well here. Have you actually read the ingredients in this can?”
Carole Antle, director of capital projects at Kaiser Permanente, cited the use of food in the deliv ... read more San Francisco Mayor's Battle Against Water Bottles 17 y

Craig Venter says success is near, but critics blast efforts to patent synthetic organisms
June 25, 2007
First he succeeded in reading humanity’s genetic code. Now gene pioneer J. Craig Venter believes he is within weeks or months of creating the world’s first free-living artificial organism in his laboratory. It won’t be much to look at—a tiny bacterium with only a few hundred genes. But if it’s truly feasible, he says, "it will be one of the bright milestones in human history, changing our conceptual view of life."
It also could be lucrative. Venter’s company, Synthetic Genomics Inc., has already filed controversial patents on synthetic bugs, wh ... read more New Scrutiny For Omega-3 Eggs 17 y
Research shows that omega-3s are found only in fish and some plants
Jun 22, 2007 2:14 pm US/Eastern
(CBS News) Eggs containing a cholesterol-fighter are coming under new scrutiny. If you find yourself in the egg aisle tempted by those more expensive eggs, the ones that say omega-3 on the label, you’re not alone.
As CBS News correspondent Thalia Assuras reports, they seem to claim they’re better than the ordinary egg. But are they worth the extra cost?
Like many health conscious Americans, Judith Nicholas buys eggs enhanced with omega-3 fatty acids. "I think they’re healthier for you and help reduce cholesterol. That’s what ... read more The Boy Who Was Raised as a Dog 17 y

Child psychiatrist Bruce Perry has helped children faced with unimaginable horror: genocide survivors, murder witnesses, kidnapped teenagers, and victims of family violence. In The Boy Who Was Raised as a Dog, he tells their stories of trauma and transformation thro ... read more Mercury Amalgam Dental Filling Protestors 17 y
After a five-year battle, we broke the A.D.A.’s stranglehold over FDA policy. We haven’t won – far from it. But truly, the A.D.A. has lost. FDA is no longer dancing to its tune.
The issue of mercury toxicity from amalgam will be the subject of a great national debate -- the news the A.D.A. and the pro-mercury dentists have long dreaded.
The bad news: Today, and tomorrow, the ugly status quo remains. Dentists deceive parents by calling the fillings silver. Toxic mercury fillings are still the choice of the assembly-line dentists working on our soldiers, our youth, our minorities, and our working poor. FDA gives no timetable to propose its new regulation.~ Charles Brown, Atty

"They basically treated her like an animal," said Sgt. Chuck Trapani
Gary Grado, Tribune, Phoenix AZ
A Mesa couple branded the word “ SNITCH” into the face of a 38-year-old woman who called police on them during a family fight, police say.
Authorities tracked down and arrested four suspects in the five days after the June 13 kidnap and assault in which the woman also suffered burns on her neck and shoulders. Also, her hair was shaved off.
Police say the act was in retaliation for a February 2006 domestic call that led authorities to take away the couple’s 5-year-old child.

I don’t know what it is, think it’s basil. But, it grew! It’s alive! I think i may have planted a thing or two as a kid and nothing lived. I have bought tons of plants in my life, all died. I suck at it. I wonder how long whatever is growing will survive. I think I planted too many seeds in one place, so that might kill it, don’t know. But, I see these little plant forms and they are so cool! I’m gonna plant some carrots and onions and chives and tomatoes and junk. It’s on my patio and It gets some sun, not lots.

Protein Could Be Used to Keep Eggs Viable Indefinitely
June 18, 2007
New research in Britain has the scientific community buzzing over the possibility of extending a woman’s fertility with a simple pill or shot.
Fertility researchers in Britain are looking at a protein already found in women’s eggs that could be used to keep them viable indefinitely. They are trying to determine whether there is a way to manufacture the protein in a pill or injectable form.
While the treatment isn’t a reality, the idea may represent hope for thousands of women looking to conceive later in life.

June 25, 2007 issue - GlaxoSmithKline has a tip for people who decide to try Alli, the over-the-counter weight-loss drug it is launching with a multimillion-dollar advertising blitz—keep an extra pair of pants handy. That’s because Alli, a lower-dose version of the prescription drug Xenical, could (cue the late-night talk-show hosts) make you soil your pants. But while Alli’s most troublesome side effect, anal leakage, is sure to be good for a few laughs, millions of people who are despe ... read more Raw "Empowered" chocolate products launched by Empowered Foods 17 y
Full review of sensational product line by Mike Adams
June 05, 2007 You’ve never had chocolate like this before. Of all the chocolate products I’ve ever tried (and I’ve eaten a lot of them because, of course, it’s my job), nothing compares to the raw, "empowered" chocolate superfood bars and products made by a small raw foods company in Clearwater, Florida. It’s called Empowered Foods , and its products are like nothing you’ve ever tried before. The company’s Chocolate Goji Bar, for example, is made with raw Tibetan goji berries, raw cacao powder, raw cacao butter, raw mesquite pod meal, sun-cured African vanilla beans, Himilayan ... read more Hug 17 y
