Pork, The Other White Meat???

The fact that pork causes stress and gives rise to poisoning is known. It is obvious that this does not only apply to preparations of fresh pork such as cold cuts, knuckles, feet, ribs and cutlets, etc., but also to cured meats (ham, bacon, etc.) and to smoked meats prepared for sausages. Consumption of freshly killed pork products causes acute responses, such as inflammations of the appendix and gall bladder, biliary colics, acute intestinal catarrh, gastroenteritis with typhoid and paratyphoid symptoms, as well as acute eczema, carbuncles, sudoriparous abscesses, and others. These symptoms can be observed after consuming sausage meats (including salami which contains pieces of bacon in the form of fat).

Congestive heart failure: acute decompensation causes shortness of breath. Fluids builds up in the lung. Usually CHF from left ventricle disease so doesnt pump well. Also from fluid overload (like in blood transfusions or IV fluids), severe high blood pressure, severe kidney disease, renovascular HTN. CHF from acute heart attack. Atrial fibrillation with fast heart beat can cause it. Shortness of breath is main symptoms. blood pressure can drop and kidneys function drops. Legs can become very swollen. From fluid build up, there is acute weight gain. Often requires hospitalization to improved blood pressure, reduce fluid, improve heart function, help oxygenation.

Mad World

Major forms of pollution and major polluted areas! The major forms of pollution are listed below along with the particular pollutants relevant to each of them: * Air pollution, the release of chemicals and particulates into the atmosphere. Common gaseous air pollutants include carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and nitrogen oxides produced by industry and motor vehicles. Photochemical ozone and smog are created as nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons react to sunlight. Particulate matter, characterized by size PM10 to PM2.5, is produced from natural sources such as volcanoes or as residual oil fly ash from power plants. Diesel particles are another class of airborne particulate matter. * Water pollution, by the release of waste products and contaminants into surface runoff into river drainage systems, leaching into groundwater, liquid spills, wastewater discharges, eutrophication and littering. * Soil contamination occurs when chemicals are released by spill or underground leakage. Among the most significant soil contaminants are hydrocarbons, heavy metals, MTBE, herbicides, pesticides and chlorinated hydrocarbons. * Radioactive contamination, resulting from 20th century activities in atomic physics, such as nuclear power generation and nuclear weapons research, manufacture and deployment. (See alpha emitters and actinides in the environment.) * Noise pollution, which encompasses roadway noise, aircraft noise, industrial noise as well as high-intensity sonar. * Light pollution, includes light trespass, over-illumination and astronomical interference. * Visual pollution, which can refer to the presence of overhead power lines, motorway billboards, scarred landforms (as from strip mining), open storage of trash or municipal solid waste. * Thermal pollution, is a temperature change in natural water bodies caused by human influence, such as use of water as coolant in a power plant. The Blacksmith Institute issues annually a list of the world's worst polluted places. In the 2007 issues the ten top nominees are located in Azerbaijan, China, India, Peru, Russia, Ukraine and Zambia. Effects on us and our planet! Human health Adverse air quality can kill many organisms including humans. Ozone pollution can cause respiratory disease, cardiovascular disease, throat inflammation, chest pain, and congestion. Water pollution causes approximately 14,000 deaths per day, mostly due to contamination of drinking water by untreated sewage in developing countries. Oil spills can cause skin irritations and rashes. Noise pollution induces hearing loss, high blood pressure, stress, and sleep disturbance. Mercury has been linked to developmental deficits in children and neurologic symptoms. Lead and other heavy metals have been shown to cause neurological problems. Chemical and radioactive substances can cause cancer and as well as birth defects. Ecosystems * Sulfur dioxide and oxides of nitrogen can cause acid rain which reduces the pH value of soil. * Soil can become infertile and unsuitable for plants. This will affect other organisms in the food web. * Smog and haze can reduce the amount of sunlight received by plants to carry out photosynthesis. * Invasive species can out compete native species and reduce biodiversity. Invasive plants can contribute debris and biomolecules (allelopathy) that can alter soil and chemical compositions of an environment, often reducing native species competitiveness. * Biomagnification describes a situation where toxins may pass through trophic levels, becoming exponentially more concentrated in the process. * Ocean acidification, the ongoing decrease in the pH of the Earth's oceans. * Global warming.

Cardiovascular disease the #1Killer

http://www.formor.com/sculptrx .Cardio Cocktail- The superior clinical supplement. Heart disease is the #1 killer of women. U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. National Institutes of Health National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute; The Heart Truth; The Heart Truth is a national awareness campaign for women about heart disease, sponsored by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, part of the National Institutes of Health, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Designed to warn women of their #1 health threat, The Heart Truth created and introduced the Red Dress as the national symbol for women and heart disease awareness in 2002 to deliver an urgent wake-up call to American women. The Red Dress reminds women of the need to protect their heart health, and inspires them to take action. Producer: National Institutes of Health; Keywords: hhs.gov; public_safety. Creative Commons license: Public Domain; Ask American women what disease they're most scared of, and the vast majority will answer without hesitation: breast cancer. They may even cite the ominous statistic that 1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer at some point in her life. But what most women don't realize is that they actually have far more to fear from heart disease, which will strike 1 out of every 3. More than 500,000 women die in the U.S. each year of cardiovascular disease, making it, not breast cancer (40,000 deaths annually), their No. 1 killer. Women and heart disease? Better believe it. For while most people still think of cardiovascular trouble as mainly a man's problem, the reality is that heart disease has never discriminated between the sexes. In fact, for a variety of complex reasons, the condition is more often fatal in women than in men and is more likely to leave women severely disabled by a stroke or congestive heart failure. True, women don't usually start showing signs until their 60s—about 10 years after men first develop symptoms. And hormones seem to play a protective role in women before menopause. But the common belief that premenopausal women are immune to heart problems is just plain wrong. Heart attacks strike 9,000 women younger than 45 each year. The more scientists learn about a woman's heart and what can go wrong with it, the more they realize that females aren't just small males. There are subtle but important differences in how women's cardiovascular systems respond to stress, hormones, excess saturated fat and toxins like tobacco. There are also some pretty big differences in how aggressively doctors treat women with heart trouble—even in the emergency room when they are in most desperate need of help. All those publicity campaigns that have focused attention on breast cancer may be part of the problem. The pink ribbons, the docudramas and the races for a cure have inadvertently left women with the impression that breast cancer is the only thing they need be worried about. So when public-health officials at the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) decided to spread the word about women's risk of heart disease with a campaign called Heart Truth, they took a page from the cancer advocates' manual, designed their own lapel pin—in the shape of a bright red dress—and sought help from some very highly placed women, starting with the First Lady. "Women take care of all the people in their family—their children, their husbands—but they sometimes don't take care of themselves," says Laura Bush. "The goals of this campaign are just to really make sure that women know that heart disease is their No. 1 killer and that they can change their lifestyles to prevent it." The new push couldn't come at a more critical juncture. Many women were stunned last year when the famous Women's Health Initiative discovered that pills providing a combination of estrogen and progestin do not protect the hearts of postmenopausal women. (Tests on estrogen alone are still under way.) Suddenly, what had seemed to be the simplest, most elegant solution to the aging female heart—replacing the hormones a woman makes before menopause—had vanished. After that bombshell, doctors and their female patients had a lot of questions. If hormones don't prevent heart disease, what does? Is the ailment fundamentally different in men and women? If not, why do their symptoms seem to differ? And why do treatments such as bypass surgery and angioplasty, which work so well for men, often fail for women? In some ways, says Dr. Sharonne Hayes of the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., "the findings have allowed us appropriately, and perhaps belatedly, to refocus our efforts."

MRI CONTRAST LAWYER SIDE EFFECTS NSF DYE GADOLINIUM

WHAT IS NSF? NSF is an extremely disabling disease characterized by high blood pressure, burning, itching, swelling and hardening of the skin. Other symptoms include red or dark patches on the skin; pain deep in the hip bones or ribs and muscle weakness. NSF can progress to the point of causing severe stiffness in joints, and it can lead to death. It can take some time after Gadolinium exposure for NSF symptoms to appear, and the disease often progresses very slowly. At this time, there is no treatment or cure for NSF. However, improved kidney function does seem to slow the development of the disease. Unfortunately, for many patients with NSF, the only way to improve their kidney function is with a transplant. The MRI-NSF injury lawyers at Parker Waichman Alonso LLP can help victims of NSF obtain compensation for their Gadolinium MRI contrast dye injuries to help them recover lost wages, the costs of medical care, pain and suffering and damages from the makers of Gadolinium Contrast Dye used in MRIs. NSF AND GADOLINIUM CONTRAST DYES USED IN MRI. In 2006, Dutch NSF researchers first discovered the connection between NSF and the Gadolinium Contrast Dyes used in MRI. Since 2006, other researchers have reinforced the Dutch NSF findings. A Yale University study reported that 95-percent of those with NSF had an MRI that involved a Gadolinium contrast dye two to three months before their symptoms appeared. In 2007, researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital found that kidney patients who had undergone an MRI with a Gadolinium Contrast Dye were 10 times more likely to develop NSF than patient who had not been exposed to such agents. The MRI-NSF injury lawyers at Parker Waichman Alonso LLP are currently evaluating cases where victims have been afflicted with NSF due to their exposure to Gadolinium Contrast Dyes used in MRIs. LEGAL HELP FOR VICTIMS OF NSF-MRI INJURIES If you or a loved one believes you developed NSF from a Gadolinium Based Contrast Agent used in an MRI, you have valuable legal rights. Please fill out our online form or call 1-800-LAW-INFO (1-800-529-4636) to speak with an experienced NSF-MRI injury attorney.

**Little Known (Moxxor) Strategies**

You may be shaking your head thinking of other so called wonder products such as Monavie, (Moxxor) that claim to offer extraordinary health benefits, while at the same time making you practically broke if you decide to try them. The upside to this story is that Moxxor is a genuine product without fillers. Moxxor was founded by Noel and John Turner after years of interest in the use of green-lipped mussels as a source of omega-3s. Native to New Zealand, the Turners began their first exports of green-lipped mussel oil to the United States back in the 1980s. Since then they have actively promoted this omega-3 source throughout the world. Their product, MOXXOR, contains both green-lipped mussel oil and sauvignon blanc grape seed extract to create not only an exceptional source of omega-3s but also a very powerful antioxidant supplement. Research has shown that omega-3s can be beneficial in the reduction of symptoms or prevention of everything from allergies and asthma to high blood pressure and heart disease. Antioxidants neutralize free-radicals and research has demonstrated them as having anticancer and anti-aging properties. According to it's very own label a serving size of MOXXOR contains 300mg of a propriety blend of Greenlip Mussel Oil, Marine Omega Fatty Acids, and Grape Seed Extract. The company's website touts that that MOXXOR Mussel Oil has and anti-inflammatory value that his 158 time more effective than Fish Oil and the MOXXOR Grape Seed Extract has an ORAC Value that is 3 times more effective than the acai berry, 3.8 times more effective than mangosteen, and 47 time more effective than the goji berry. Given the popularity of fish oil and these super fruits MOXXOR seems like it will attract much attention.

Prostate Cancer & Endothelin: PMAP

http://www.proteolysis.org Endothelin-converting enzyme-1 is involved in the proteolytic processing of endothelin-1 (EDN1; MIM 131240), -2 (EDN2; MIM 131241), and -3 (EDN3; MIM 131242) to biologically active peptides. http://www.proteolysis.org/proteases/m_summarypg/pmap.41815 Prostate cancer is a disease in which cancer develops in the prostate, a gland in the male reproductive system. It occurs when cells of the prostate mutate and begin to multiply out of control. These cells may spread (metastasize) from the prostate to other parts of the body, especially the bones and lymph nodes. Prostate cancer may cause pain, difficulty in urinating, erectile dysfunction and other symptoms. Endothelins are proteins that constrict blood vessels and raise blood pressure. They are normally kept in balance by other mechanisms, but when they are over-expressed, they contribute to high blood pressure (hypertension) and heart disease. The ubiquitous distribution of endothelin peptides and receptors implicates its involvement in a wide variety of physiological and pathological processes in the body. Among numerous diseases potentially occurring from endothelin dysregulation are: several types of cancer; cerebral vasospasm following subarachnoid hemorrhage; arterial hypertension and other cardiovascular disorders; pain mediation

Smoking In ISLAM-Sheesha/hookah is even WORSE

Most Muslims are aware of and try to avoid the major sins in Islam - murder, suicide, adultery, alcohol, gambling, usury, etc. Muslims are forbidden to harm themselves or others. Yet millions of Muslims all over the world are doing just that - harming, even killing themselves and their families. Islamic scholars have historically had mixed views on the subject, and the actions of these Muslims have not been unanimously forbidden or even discouraged. The danger is tobacco use - cigarette and cigar smoking, chew, etc. The mixed views on the subject came about because cigarettes are a more recent invention and did not exist at the time of the revelation of the Qur'an in the 7th century A.D. Therefore, one cannot find a verse of Qur'an or words of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) saying clearly that "Cigarettee smoking is forbidden." However, there are many instances where the Qur'an gives us general guidelines, and calls upon us to use our reason and intelligence, and seek guidance from Allah about what is right and wrong. In the Qur'an, Allah says, ...he [the Prophet] commands them what is just, and forbids them what is evil; he allows them as lawful what is good, and prohibits them from what is bad..." (Surah al-Araf 7:157). So what are the evils of tobacco use, for your health and for your deen (religion)? Smoking and Health Effects It is very well known that cigarette smoking is the most widespread example of drug dependence in the United States. A pamphlet released by the U.S. Surgeon General's Office entitled "Why People Smoke Cigarettes" calls cigarette smoking America's worst drug addiction problem. It involves addiction to the drug nicotine in tobacco and possible other tobacco substances. An authoritative British report (1) stated that tobacco smoking is a form of drug dependence different from but no less strong than that of other addictive drugs—the most stable and well-adjusted person will, if he smokes at all, almost inevitably become dependent on the habit. An Australian government report of 1977 called Drug Problems in Australia - An Intoxicated Society (2), says, "It is important to recognize that smoking is a form of drug dependence, but one with especially insidious characteristics." Like many other drugs, the chemicals in cigarette affect the chemistry of the brain and nervous system and create dependence and lead to compulsive use. More than 56 million Americans and multiple scores of millions more in other nations, including Islamic nations (3) are hooked on cigarettes in the same way as caffeine addicts are hooked on caffeine. A major reason why sales continue at high levels despite widespread public knowledge about the health hazards is the addictive nature of cigarettes. Most people start smoking just to conform to peer or social pressures. They get a feeling of "grown up." They find smoking (nicotine) at first acts as a stimulant. Later they find they need to smoke as a tranquilizer. These smokers develop a level of tolerance and bodily adjustment to nicotine. If this level of nicotine is not maintained in their blood, they will experience uncomfortable physical-psychological dependence problems. These uncomfortable feelings are classic drug withdrawal symptoms. Addictive drugs are psychoactive which create brain and nervous system dependence and lead to compulsive use. Abrupt discontinuation leads to physiological and psychological distress. The withdrawal symptoms are headache, stomach discomfort, nervousness, irritability, sweating, change in heart and blood pressure and lower excretion of some hormones affecting the nervous system (4). The former U.S. Surgeon General, C. Everett Coop, says, "Cigarette smoking is clearly identified as the chief preventable cause of death (340,000 deaths per year in U.S.A.). In our society it is a major factor in the development of many cases of cancer, heart trouble, chronic lung and respiratory diseases and other ailments. Smoking causes more illnesses and death than all the other drugs."(5) Proof Hookah/sheesha is worse then cigarettes http://time.blogs.com/daily_rx/2006/10/hold_the_hookah.html http://www.webmd.com/smoking-cessation/news/20040601/pipes-hookahs-pose-same-risks-cigars
