Beware of MLMs, M***TECH was on 20/20 again 17 y
Pill cure claims draw investigation by state
M*** .tech is an MLM company that has been around
a few years. They make pills made of sugar claiming to cure cancer and a
number of other diseases. Companies like these give false hope and give
real cancer treatments a bad name, and I am not speaking about chemo and
radiation and such; Those are poison. I live near Mexico and I know
of a world renowned hospital that cures cancer every day and has for many
years. I spent a month there with my Aunt back in 2000. They have
all the latest cancer treatments from around the world, generally about 5 or 6
different ones. Myself, I ... read more High Mercury Levels Found in One-Fourth of Adults 17 y

One-quarter of adult New Yorkers, roughly 1.4 million people, have elevated levels of mercury in their blood, mainly from eating certain fish, according to survey results released yesterday by the city’s Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.
Readers discuss mercury in fish, hip-hop history, subway rankings and the mayor’s big screen TV. Also: a chance to pose questions to the executive director of the Public Theater, which runs Shakespeare in the Park
The survey, part of a comprehensive study of the health of city residents, found that blood mercury levels were highest a ... read more Farm-Raised Fish Given Tainted Food 17 y

By Rick Weiss

The tainted Chinese ingredient that was incorporated into U.S. pet food and later made its way into chicken and pig feed was neither wheat gluten nor rice protein as advertised, but was seriously contaminated wheat flour, government investigators said yesterday.
The finding adds a new layer of fraud to an already seamy tale of international deception.
Moreover, officials said, some of that contaminated flour, mislabeled as gluten, was mixed into fish food in Canada and exported to the United ... read more Heavy Metal Tuna 17 y

January/February 2006
Samples of supermarket swordfish and tuna steaks from 22 states show that these seafood products still contain mercury levels unsafe for growing children and pregnant women. In September the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced that women living on the East and West coasts had twice as much mercury in their blood (5.9 parts per billion, or ppb) than inland women (2.4 ppb). Levels higher than 3.5 ppb may pose a threat to the woman or fetus. ”I don’t think that the FDA’s tuna standards are protective enough of children,” says Luz Claudio, Ph.D., associate professor of community me ... read more Smile an everlasting smile 17 y

To take your heart away ~ Bee Gees
Why Bunnypants and
sippycup? well, those happen to be two of my favorite words. Sippycup, the
first time i heard that word years ago, i fell in love with it and i liked to
say it just to hear the sound of it. And, bunnypants, there was someone calling
themselves that in some forum or something, cannot remember where. But, I
laughed every time I would address the person and well, these two words just
seem to make people feel good, at least me, anyway. Another word I thought was
cool, was Alabaster_Mushroom. He was a poster in a chat room. He wasn’t too
sane or friendly, but ... read more Fire The Grid 17 y

Ok, after watching all 7 youtubes by this fire the grid woman, I was not impressed. I thought I was going to be. The first 3 or 4 of them were pretty good. But, she started to lose me at #5. I still had hope at #7, but by the end it was gone. http://youtube.com/watch?v=cqUAluDvuU4
My concerns are:
1. She failed to convince me that light beings came into her bathroom and told her a whole bunch of specific things to do.
2. On her website, she refers to ”source” and ”intention”. It just sounded too much like Wayne W. Dyer’s ”Power Of Intent ... read more Joy Behar: When You Need a Lift 17 y

Editorial Reviews

Behar, cohost of ABC’s The View, doesn’t have any advice of her own
to dispense. Instead, she offers brief personal essays from more than 100 of
her best friends (children’s author David A. Adler and comedian Anne Meara
among them). These mood boosters include I look at my friend Chip deMatteo’s
eighth grade picture (Bruce Hornsby) and My remedy is my ukulele. I sit and
strum my blues away (Tony Danza). Danielle Broussard is a big believer in
the idea that there is very little that a new pair of shoes and a Klondike

Dr. Phil McGraw, Ph.D.
Dr. Phil’s success stems
from his “get real” approach to helping his guests solve their problems,
stripping through their emotional clutter, getting down to the bare bones of
their issues and giving them the challenge they need to move ahead. Dr. Phil
champions those who suffer from such silent epidemics as domestic violence,
child abuse, depression, racism, substance abuse and other health issues that
are prevalent in society, but go largely undiscussed by their victims. ....
The [Dr. Phil] foundation is another tool in Dr. Phil’s arsenal to fight what he
calls the ”silent epide ... read more When Graphic Artists Get Bored 17 y

WASHINGTON (AFP) — Former Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan, for years an inscrutable seer on the economy, is causing a stir by alleging in his new memoir that ” the Iraq war is largely about oil.”
