Answer by jwenting
In Australia, the best thing to do to reduce mortality would be to scrap the entire healthcare system and start from scratch with a privately run system.

Question by anmlprht: Seeds of Deception? We should, at least, question it and ask for answers that are acceptable.?
“Outrageous! That’s what you’ll say over and over again when you read how the biotechnology companies have manipulated the government, our food, and the media, and put an entire generation at risk.
– Ben Cohen, Co-Founder, Ben & Jerry’s

“Clear, profound, and unerringly accurate, Seeds of Deception tells you what you need to know about genetically engineered food — and what Monsanto won’t tell you. If you care about the safety of our food supply, if you care what corporations are doing to your food and health, this is the book to get.”
– John Robbins, author, The Food Revolution, and Diet For A New America

“This pivotal exposé leaves no doubt that politics and corporate influence, not sound science, allowed these potentially dangerous GM foods onto supermarket shelves.”
– Joe Mendelson, Legal Director, Center for Food Safety

“I have seen first hand how Monsanto and the FDA have resorted to scientific deceit of the highest order to market genetically engineered milk. With captivating style and a flair for describing science in clear, accurate language, Seeds of Deception unveils the distortions, omissions, and lies for all to see.”
– Samuel S. Epstein, M.D., professor emeritus environmental and occupational medicine
University of Illinois at Chicago School of Public Health
Chairman, Cancer Prevention Coalition
Seeds of deception. Grains of delusion.
“Ways in which industry researchers apparently doctored their studies to avoid finding problems with GM foods. ie, Aventis heated StarLink corn four times longer than standard before testing for intact protein; Monsanto fed mature animals diets with only one tenth of their protein derived from GM soy; researchers injected cows with one forty-seventh the amount of rbGH before testing the level of hormone in the milk and pasteurized milk 120 times longer than normal to see if the hormone was destroyed; and Monsanto used stronger acid and more than 1,250 times the amount of a digestive enzyme recommended by international standards to prove how quickly their protein degraded.
Cows that got sick were dropped from Monsanto’s rbGH studies, while cows that got pregnant before treatment were counted as support that the drug didn’t interfere with fertility; differences in composition between Roundup Ready soy and natural soy were omitted from a published paper; antibody reactions by rats fed rbGH were ignored by the FDA; and deaths from rats fed the FlavrSavr tomato remain unexplained.”

Question by slick: It’s ovbious were losing the battle on cancer etc. so why not try unproved alternative preventions?

Best answer:

Answer by spiritwise333
I agree. We should be allowed to investigate alternative treatments. And much more research money needs to be allocated to discovering natural cures. However, many people believe that there are already alternative cures for most cancers available but that they have been ruthlessly suppressed by the FDA. Many people also believe the FDA is just a puppet of the pharmaceutical companies. Cancer treatment is a multi-billion dollar industry.
There is little or no money to be made from alternative medicines because most are plant based or made from simple chemical compounds that cannot be patented. Without a patent the drug companies cannot make the compound exclusively and and then they cannot charge outrageous prices for their products. There would be no reason for a drug company to spend a lot of money on developing a herbal cancer treatment product for instance, when we can grow the herbs in our back yard.

Medical doctors who practise alternative medicine are severely harassed by the AMA, (whom some believe to be enforcers for the drug companies). A staggering number of alternative MDs have had their licenses revoked by their state and provincial medical boards because they threatened the status quo.

Question by justme4real59: Would you leave an emotionally and verbally abusive husband when this is my third marriage with a 4 year old?
He is 55 and just developed health problems that keep me staying as well. I am 49 and we have a 4 year old daughter together and I have 4 other children, 3 of them adult and on their own with a grandchild by my oldest daughter. I am tired of the verbal abuse and threats to leave. He treats me like crap and I am having health problems myself and have to have some discs in neck taken care of and lower back. I am in school on line in a criminal justice program and he just exhausts me. I have to do everything in the house and out and raise my child with little help. He refuses to help which drains me in every way and I cannot believe I still have managed to make the Dean;s list with a 3,8 average. I guess I really want the degree for to help me get out of this possibly with something to have for a career. He is a good provider but very dominating with the money. We are in a tight situation financially and he is even more tight and controlling and tells me that everything is all my fault that is wrong. We don;t have sex and have not for about 4 years now. I hate him sometimes and its hard to want sex with someone who hurts me so much. He does these things in front of our child and at times in front of the adult children by putting me down. He threatens to leave me repeatedly and sometimes goes off and shuts his phone off so I cannot reach him. He just had a heart catherization for blockage and stents put in some the arteries. He seems fine now but on meds for prevention and he also has stage 1 prostate cancer which is curable with treatment. I am besides myself with his treatment of me and don’t know where I am going with him except down. I want out many days and other days I do not and get scared. Any advice or thoughts? Thank you. Mary

Question by Abudi: Is this right i got mail from some of my friend.?
Live Life Without Limits!
AND PASS THIS EMAIL TO WHOM YOU CARE

The top five cancer-causing foods are:

1. Hot dogs

Because they are high in nitrates, the Cancer Prevention Coalition advises that children eat no more than 12 hot dogs a month. If you can’t live without hot dogs, buy those made without sodium nitrate.

2.. Processed meats and bacon

Also high in the same sodium nitrates found in hot dogs, bacon, and other processed meats raise the risk of heart disease. The saturated fat in bacon also contributes to cancer.

3. Doughnuts

Doughnuts are cancer-causing double trouble. First, they are made with white flour, sugar, and hydrogenated oils, then fried at high temperatures. Doughnuts, says Adams , may be the worst food you can possibly eat to raise your risk of cancer.

4. French fries

Like doughnuts, French fries are made with hydrogenated oils and then fried at high temperatures. They also contain cancer- causing acryl amides which occur during the frying process. They should be called cancer fries, not French fries, said Adams .

5. Chips, crackers, and cookies

All are usually made with white flour and sugar. Even the ones whose labels claim to be free of trans-fats generally contain small amounts of trans-fats.

BRAIN DAMAGING HABITS

1. No Breakfast
People who do not take breakfast are going to have a lower blood sugar level.
This leads to an insufficient supply of nutrients to the brain causing brain degeneration.

2. Overeating
It causes hardening of the brain arteries, leading to a decrease in mental power.

3. Smoking
It causes multiple brain shrinkage and may lead to Alzheimer disease.

4. High Sugar consumption
Too much sugar will interrupt the absorption of proteins and nutrients causing malnutrition and may interfere with brain development.

5. Air Pollution
The brain is the largest oxygen consumer in our body. Inhaling polluted air decreases the supply of oxygen to the brain, bringing about a decrease in brain efficiency.

6. Sleep Deprivation
Sleep allows our brain to rest. Long term deprivation from sleep will accelerate the death of brain cells.
7. Head covered while sleeping
Sleeping with the head covered increases the concentration of carbon dioxide and decrease concentration of oxygen that may lead to brain damaging effects.

8. Working your brain during illness
Working hard or studying with sickness may lead to a decrease in effectiveness of the brain as well as damage the brain.

9. Lacking in stimulating thoughts
Thinking is the best way to train our brain, lacking in brain stimulation thoughts may cause brain shrinkage.

10. Talking Rarely
Intellectual conversations will promote the efficiency of the brain

The main causes of liver damage are:

1. Sleeping too late and waking up too late are main cause.
2. Not urinating in the morning.
3. Too much eating.
4. Skipping breakfast.
5. Consuming too much medication.
6. Consuming too much preservatives, additives, food coloring, and artificial sweetener.
7. Consuming unhealthy cooking oil. As much as possible reduce cooking oil use when frying, which includes even the best cooking oils like olive oil. Do not consume fried foods when you are tired, except if the body is very fit.
8. Consuming raw (overly done) foods also add to the burden of liver.
Veggies should be eaten raw or cooked 3-5 parts. Fried veggies should be finished in one sitting, do not store.

We should prevent this without necessarily spending more. We just have to adopt a good daily lifestyle and eating habits. Maintaining good eating habits and time condition are very important for our bodies to absorb and get rid of unnecessary chemicals according to ‘schedule.’

Question by Ilooklikemyavatar..exactly: Where can I find Nonfluoridated toothpaste. Senior EPA people have come out to speak against it.?
I’m sick of the lies. This isn’t the first time the government has lied about something big.

http://www.zerowasteamerica.org/DrRobertCarton.htm

Dr. William Marcus, an EPA senior science adviser and toxicologist stated in “Food and Water Journal,” 1998, ” Fluoride is a carcinogen by any stand we use. I believe EPA should act immediately to protect the public, not just on the cancer data, but on the evidence of bone fractures, arthritis, mutagenicity and other effects.”

I know very well the inclination of people in high power to make a profit at people’s expense and to use manipulative information to keep those in the media and scientific community in compliance. Fluoride was a menacing air pollutant until large companies found out they could get rid of it in water and say it was the holy grail for teeth decay prevention.
