Mammogram Reversal

The United States Preventive Service Task Force announced Monday that it recommends against annual mammograms for women age 40 to 49. This is the first time in 20 years the panel has recommended a stoppage or slow down of mammogram use.

The panel maintains that the benefits of testing do not outweigh the “harms” and risks.

Recent research has shown that repeated exposure to mammograms may act as an independent risk factor for breast cancer. While many medical experts still recommend regular mammograms, which take an x-ray like photograph of the breast, to detect small tumors, opposition to the practice is growing. The task force also recommends against teaching breast self-exams for all women.

Cumulative doses of radiation, that is, the build-up of many doses of radiation over time may in fact be a cancer initiator. Common sense dictators that multiple exposures of radiation cannot be conducive to anything about good health. In fact it is harmful to the human body even in small doses.

A non-invasive and non-squishing method for detecting masses in the breast is available.

This method, called Thermography uses thermal imaging to detect “hot spots” in the breast. Thermo graphic detection of these spots is more reliable than mammography because the blood flow pattern changes long before the tumor is large enough to be detected by x-ray.


I fear medical practitioners will continue to subscribe to mammograms since they are easy to administer and generate a great deal of income via the insurance companies and Medicare payments.

I will also add my concerns about any government intervention in this case a government panel of ‘experts’ making some grand proclamation on our behalf for our well-being. There will be much opposition to this ’decry’ mainly from the medical professionals who continue to see mammogram testing as a good tool toward the end of early breast cancer detection.

Pharmaceutical Drug Companies Price Gouging?

At least 3 Democrats in the house and one senator has asked for investigations into why drug companies have increased their wholesale prices on some products..

Analysts believe the looming government take over American Health Care with the suspected government caps on prescription drugs has the drug companies ‘taking a larger profit’ in it’s wake.

The democrats apparently aren’t aware of the free enterprise system in place in the USA for well over 200 years. Any and all commerce is in business to make a profit, hence wealth. There is literally no other reason to risk investing capital in a business enterprise.

However the democrats abhor the idea of free enterprise and the absolute freedom to raise product prices if the market so dictates.

Any government intervention in a public companies business is on the fast track to a government take over of all private enterprise. As witnessed by our blatant take over some car companies and insurance companies. This is what these far left socialists want nothing less then all facets of our life micro managed by a privileged few.

I for one don’t take any drugs what so ever but having said that the drug companies have the right to set their own prices on their products. That is true for any American company no exceptions.

Listen up congress we don’t want you to tell us how to run our business and dictate your fascist ideas upon the people who really run this country. Stay out of our lives and crawl back into your holes whence you came.

Dark Chocolate may Reduce Stress

A clinical trial published online in ACS’ Journal of Proteome Research indicates that one and a half of Dark Chocolate everyday for two weeks reduced levels of stress hormones in the bodies of people feeling highly stressed.

There is growing evidence that antioxidants and other beneficial substances in dark chocolate may reduce risk factors for heart disease and other physical conditions.

Until this study little evidence was available to substantiate Dark Chocolate actually reduced stress in highly stressed individuals.


The study shows a reduction of stress hormones and other stress-related biochemical changes. Additionally the study provides strong evidence that during a period of 2 weeks sufficient stress components were modified to effectively change the metabolism of healthy humans.

We continue to learn about the amazing natural healing resources available to us to keep us healthy. Antioxidants keep our immune system a strong fighting force. ROCK ON!

Natural Supplements-Who needs Them? You Do!

My father-in-law is living with my wife and I, God Blessed him with old age but poor health.

What is the point to live long but be constantly sick along the way? Pop is quick to argue the point of his longevity by saying "I never took any supplements and look at me". Indeed, let us take a look. Cancer, Diabetes, Heart surgery, numerous operations and a host of other medical conditions have plagued him throughout his latter years.

My wife and I supplement with all natural supplements and 'Wallah no medical ailments of any consequence. My father-in-law is just about 86 and I am 62 years old. I run, jump, climb, and pretty much do what a teenager does. Do I attribute my good fortune to supplementing; You Bet, that and eating nutritious food and having a young forever frame of mind.

Now look, I understand not everyone will be as fortunate as me but for goodness sake it is simply logical that your body needs a daily dose of the right nutrients so why not supplement.

Over farming, soil depletion, commercial fertilizer, hybrid crops and genetic modifications are slashing the nutrients found in your fruits and vegetables.

I intend to be healthy all my life and then die. Death and illness will come to all of us regardless what we put in our body but quality of life means alot to me.

How about you?

FDA After Natural Health Producers

The Federal Drug Administration (FDA) is now in a open frontal attack against natural supplements and natural supplement producers. This is the method of assault: A drug company produces a new drug and part of that new drug is a naturally produced vitamin, mineral, herb etc. The FDA says all well and good, we will approve the new drug but by doing so that naturally produced vitamin (i.e. B6) now becomes a controlled substance and cannot be purchased without a prescription. The FDA has effectively eliminated vitamin B6 as a supplement and now classifies it as a drug. If you consume vitamin B6 as a supplement your a law breaker unless you have a prescription through a doctor.

At first glance it would appear that big PHARMA is just an innocent by stander in all of this but look closer and you will find a collaboration that stinks to high heaven. Big PHARMA has its tentacles deep inside the FDA so much so that it is difficult to differentiate between the two. The FDA is not interested in your good health they are interested in the good health of their deer friends and colleagues in the pharmaceutical industry. The fore mentioned tactic to essentially ban natural supplements in the marketplace is the ultimate goal of big PHARMA and the FDA. By eliminating the competition in this case naturally produced supplements the drug companies become bigger and wealthier and our beloved FDA climbs further in bed with PHARMA.

Of course as usual the big loser is all of us who take the time, effort and expense to educate ourselves and know without question that pharmaceutical drugs are poison and that naturally induced supplements are God given and provide all the nutrients our body will ever need. I have not taken a prescription drug in 40 years and can’t imagine why ANYONE would knowingly consume poisons. Wake up America, we are losing our rights before our very eyes! Take a stand and let the FDA know that you’re on to them and you will not tolerate the blatant and outrageous attack against your freedom to buy and sell natural supplements.

HIV Outmaneuvers Immune Systems –Natural Supplements to the Rescue

In a recently published article from the BBC it has been reported that HIV has the ability to aggressively mutate to stay a step ahead of the human bodies immune system. Jo Robinson, of the HIV charity Terrence Higgins Trust, said: "HIV is a complex virus, which is constantly changing.”

It is now feared that all the effort placed in developing an HIV vaccine may be all for not. Lead researcher Professor Philip Goulder, of the University of Oxford has been quoted in saying;
"The implication is that once we have found an effective vaccine, it would need to be changed on a frequent basis to catch up with the evolving virus, much like we do today with the flu vaccine."

If that is the case and HIV will continue to mutate and effectively avoid capture so to speak then more then ever the importance to maintain a healthy and strong immune system is an absolute necessity for people effected with HIV.

HIV manufactured drugs have the ability to keep the virus at bay for some, for others drugs have little affect.

Certain Natural Supplements of high quality and usually in high dosages keying on boosting the immune system may be very helpful in establishing a foothold in the constant and ever present danger of HIV escalation. Give your body the necessary means to naturally fight HIV or for that matter any virus or bacteria with the right nutrients and a well-balanced and healthful diet.

Pills are easy to swallow but accomplish little long term, on the other hand getting yourself built up from the inside out takes work and a plan but the long term results can be great.

Winter be Gone!

Okay I realize it is still January but enough already with the cold, snow and ice. As I get older the harshness of recent winters seem worse then ever. Living in the endless mountains of northern Pa. winters come early often by the first week in November we already have seen our first snow. Our last snow can come as late as the second week in May. To be sure there are plenty of nice days in between but never the less winter can hang around for the better part of seven months. Now I can see why many Americans move south! I'm a hardy kind of guy who loves the outdoors but seeing snow and ice seven months out of the year is a bit much. Oh by the way where is Al Gore when you need him to throw some global warming our way. Please Al shorten my winter by three months and I may even vote for you if you should run again.......FAT CHANCE.
