What We Have Learned About the Great Swine Flu Pandemic

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 09:56:26 -0800

From the page: "Flu Vaccine DOUBLES Risk of Getting H1N1

It is also important to view this in the face of the new unpublished Canadian study of 12 million people that found getting the seasonal flu vaccine, as recommended by the CDC and NIH, doubles one�s risk of developing the H1N1 infection. It would also make the infection much more serious. So much for expert advice from the government."

Think Before You Pink & Eli Lilly & rBGH

Sun, 01 Nov 2009 21:26:47 -0800

From the page: "Eli Lilly has taken pinkwashing to a whole new level. By adding rBGH to the products they sell, Eli Lilly has completed its cancer profit circle: it creates cancer with rBGH, it sells cancer treatment drugs like Gemzar, and it sells a drug, Evista, to reduce the risk of breast cancer in women at high risk of the disease. Eli Lilly�s cancer drugs made $2,683,000,000 for the company in 2008. Its potentially carcinogenic dairy hormone made $985,000,000 in the same year. Eli Lilly is milking cancer.

Tell Eli Lilly to stop making and marketing rBGH. Tell them to stop milking cancer!"

Think Before You Pink &

From the page: "Think Before You Pink, a project of Breast Cancer Action, launched in 2002 in response to the growing concern about the overwhelming number of pink ribbon products and promotions on the market. The campaign calls for more transparency and accountability by companies that take part in breast cancer fundraising, and encourages consumers to ask critical questions about pink ribbon promotions."

Justice Dept Says Without Party Labels on Ballots, Blacks Won't Know Who to Vote For & NewsReal Blog

Sun, 01 Nov 2009 11:17:42 -0800

Last year, the city of Kinston - with a population of 23,000 - voted to lessen the partisanship of local elections by removing the party labels (Democrat, Republican and so forth) of local candidates from election ballots. The measure won by a majority vote in seven of the city's nine black-majority voting precincts and both of its white-majority precincts.

In accordance with the Voting Rights Act, the city submitted the measure for final approval by the Justice Department. The DOJ denied the city's measure, suggesting that the removal of party labels would limit blacks' ability to elect the candidates they favor.

DOJ Specifically, the DOJ's Aug. 17 letter to the city said the results of the city's proposed measure "will be strictly racial."

"Removing the partisan cue in municipal elections will, in all likelihood, eliminate the single factor that allows black candidates to be elected to office," wrote Loretta King, acting head of the Justice Department's civil rights division.

Vitamin D casts cancer prevention in new light - The Globe and Mail

Fri, 16 Oct 2009 11:45:25 -0700

From the page: "MARTIN MITTELSTAEDT

From Saturday's Globe and Mail Published on Saturday, Apr. 28, 2007 1:20AM EDT Last updated on Tuesday, Mar. 31, 2009 10:44PM EDT

For decades, researchers have puzzled over why rich northern countries have cancer rates many times higher than those in developing countries �" and many have laid the blame on dangerous pollutants spewed out by industry.

But research into vitamin D is suggesting both a plausible answer to this medical puzzle and a heretical notion: that cancers and other disorders in rich countries aren't caused mainly by pollutants but by a vitamin deficiency known to be less acute or even non-existent in poor nations.

Those trying to brand contaminants as the key factor behind cancer in the West are "looking for a bogeyman that doesn't exist," argues Reinhold Vieth, professor at the Department of Nutritional Sciences at the University of Toronto and one of the world's top vitamin D experts. Instead, he says, the critical factor "is more likely a lack of vitamin D."

What's more, researchers are linking low vitamin D status to a host of other serious ailments, including multiple sclerosis, juvenile diabetes, influenza, osteoporosis and bone fractures among the elderly.

Not everyone is willing to jump on the vitamin D bandwagon just yet. Smoking and some pollutants, such as benzene and asbestos, irrefutably cause many cancers.

But perhaps the biggest bombshell about vitamin D's effects is about to go off. In June, U.S. researchers will announce the first direct link between cancer prevention and the sunshine vitamin. Their results are nothing short of astounding.

A four-year clinical trial involving 1,200 women found those taking the vitamin had about a 60-per-cent reduction in cancer incidence, compared with those who didn't take it, a drop so large - " twice the impact on cancer attributed to smoking - " it almost looks like a typographical error."

(The fact that this is NOT making headlines is what makes it bizarre!)

Vitamin D Newsletter September 2009 | Vitamin D and H1N1 Swine Flu

Thu, 15 Oct 2009 06:21:30 -0700

From the page: "This is the first hard data that I am aware of concerning H1N1 and vitamin D. It appears vitamin D is incredibly protective against H1N1. Dr. Carlos Carmago at Mass General ran the numbers in an email to me. Even if one excludes 43 staff members who called in sick with influenza, 0.73% of residents were affected, as compared to 7.5% of staff. This 10-fold difference was statistically significant (P<0.001). That is, the chance that this was a chance occurrence is one less than one in a thousand."
