Broadcast Yourself. Major drug research company faked thousands of documents to get drugs approved, FDA says no big deal. (NaturalNews) It is truly astounding to witness the utter corruption that takes place -- and practically in plain sight -- within the pharmaceutical drug industry. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced that drug firm Cetero Research, for many years knowingly forged thousands of clinical trial documents for drug companies in order for them to gain drug approval. The FDA's response to this, though is that this massive corruption is basically no big deal. It is no secret, of course, that the FDA routinely works in illicit tandem with drug companies to get dangerous drugs on the market in exchange for cash. One example of this includes the Lexapro scandal in which the FDA approved this dangerous antidepressant drug for children at the same time as federal and state governments were suing Forest Laboratories, maker of the drug, for pushing it on children ( These are important questions that should be asked:

KAVANAUGH-LYNCH: The studies tell us that exposure to chemicals, prenatally or early in life, can change the way the breast develops. GELLERMAN: These are exposures to chemicals in fetal development. KAVANAUGH-LYNCH: Fetal and, you know, the breast is kind of unusual as a human organ in that a lot of its development happens after birth. GELLERMAN: What kind of chemicals are we talking about here? GELLERMAN: Genistein is what? Breast cancer science: New reports show that federal policy on chemicals testing neglects breast health. - By Florence Williams. The last quarter of a century has taught science some newfangled things about breasts. For one thing, they appear to be showing up earlier in young girls, with possible consequences for breast cancer later on. For another, the way they grow and develop varies from woman to woman, and—if lab animals are any indication—normal exposures to commercial chemicals can alter that process. The growing human breast is also more vulnerable than we thought.

Data from atomic-bomb survivors in Japan show that it was adolescents—not grown women—near the explosions who were most likely to develop breast cancer in later years. Since then, there's been similar data for girls who were exposed to medical X-rays or radiation therapy, as well as research showing that the pesticide DDT, now banned but pervasive in the 1950s and 1960s, is associated with a higher risk of breast cancer in women exposed as girls.

But blowing off these tests is a big mistake. Drinking Coffee To Benefit Prostate Health -- Jon Barron Blog. If you are a coffee drinking man, you just might be giving yourself a health boost. According to the latest research, coffee may do your prostate a world of good, but you need to drink a lot of it to reap the benefits. The study, conducted at the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston, showed that regularly consuming six or more cups of coffee daily can reduce your risk of developing lethal prostate cancer by 60 percent.1 If that sounds like more coffee than you can handle in one day, drinking one to three cups a day provides some benefit too. That amount was associated with a 30 percent lower risk of fatal prostate cancer compared to those who don't drink coffee at all. The researchers obtained their information on 48,000 men from the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study, a long-term trial that examines dietary habits and their connection to various diseases.

So the bottom line is you are probably better off sticking with caffeine in your coffee. 2 Fischer TW, Hipler UC, Elsner P. To this day, Coca-Cola still imports coca leaves which are used to manufacture cocaine in the United States. (NaturalNews) Coca leaves have been chewed and consumed as tea for thousands of years in the high Andes. They are rich in many essential nutrients; they ease respiratory and digestive distress and are a natural stimulant and painkiller. Indigenous tradition and scientific studies have both confirmed that in their natural form, the leaves are completely safe and non-addictive -- it takes intensive processing and toxic chemical ingredients to produce cocaine. That's why more and more coca-containing products have started to hit the market in Andean countries in the past few years.

Yet the United States still aggressively pursues an eradication policy that encourages Andean governments to spray their forests with toxic chemicals to eliminate this medicinal crop. (Coca-Cola, by the way, used to literally contain cocaine in its original formula. As the New York Times published in 1988 ( Ask around... P.S. Superbugs: Will Millions Die Needlessly Before We Act? -- Health & Wellness.

© Alliance for Natural Health Drug-resistant bacteria - "superbugs" - are becoming a global crisis. But the government not only thwarts the development of new antibiotic drugs. It also willfully ignores powerful natural therapies and cures. Last August, the UN's World Health Organization issued a global alert on the dangers of drug-resistant bacteria: "Some bacteria have developed mechanisms which render them resistant to many of the antibiotics normally used for their treatment, so pose particular difficulties, as there may be few or no alternative options for therapy.

" Germs resistant to one or more drugs kill 100,000 US hospital patients a year and cost the healthcare system more than $34 billion, according to the Infectious Disease Society of America. This could easily rise to the millions worldwide as major bacterial pandemics emerge. At first glance, it would appear that the mainstream medical solution is to treat drug-resistant bacteria with more drugs. Wrong. According to Forbes: Disposable coffee cups, carryout containers filled with cancer-causing agents. (NaturalNews) Millions of people eat and drink from plastic and styrofoam cups and containers every single day, and the US government now admits that many of these consumer products contain known cancer-causing agents.

The formaldehyde preservatives found in many disposable coffee cups and foam take-out containers, as well as styrene, another chemical additive used in such products, have both been added to the federal government's list of known or suspected carcinogens. The addition of these two chemicals, as well as six others, to the carcinogen list this year was reportedly a reluctant decision made by the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), which has been pressured by the chemical industry for years to delay coming forward with this information. "Reducing exposure to cancer-causing agents is something we all want, and the Report on Carcinogens provides important information on substances that pose a cancer risk," said Dr. Sources for this story include: Popular birth control pills' safety weighed - Canada.

Health Canada is reviewing two new studies that show Yasmin, the country's top-selling birth control pill, may put women at a higher risk of blood clots, CBC Marketplace has learned. The studies were published in the British Medical Journal last month and report that women taking birth control pills containing drospirenone have 2.5 to three times the risk of suffering a blood clot than women on the safest pills on the market.

Most birth control pills contain progestin and estrogen, but only a handful use the synthetic hormone drospirenone for the progestin, including Yasmin and its sister pill, Yaz, which are manufactured by German-based Bayer. Assessing risks In an email to CBC Marketplace, a Health Canada official said the department "is evaluating the recently published studies and is looking at available information to fully assess the risk of blood clots. " Health Canada's review comes on the heels of an announcement this week by the U.S. Growing concern about drospirenone. As the most authoritative report yet says mobile phones pose a health risk, the cold, hard facts on mobiles and cancer. By John Naish Updated: 11:41 GMT, 2 June 2011 The World Health Organisation (WHO) warned for the first time this week that mobile phones may cause cancer.

The UN’s health body urged phone owners to limit their use and issued ‘pragmatic’ measures to reduce exposure to mobiles. In its attempt to provide the most authoritative verdict yet on the risks associated with mobiles, the WHO reviewed 21 credible scientific studies from 14 countries worldwide. So just how dangerous is your mobile? Here, we offer a dispassionate analysis . . . In the spotlight: The World Health Organisation has completed the first extensive study on the potential dangers of mobile phones How risky are they?

The WHO concluded mobile use is ‘possibly carcinogenic to humans’, a term that places mobiles in the middle of a rating scale that contains five levels of carcinogens. This means mobiles are ranked below things that are definitely known to cause cancer — such as smoking and sun beds. What do they emit?

Historic! New killer baffling doctors. And the only warning sign is feeling out of breath... By Lucy Elkins Updated: 21:58 GMT, 9 May 2011 Lawrence Matz has idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).

Even the exertion of shaving is enough to leave him gasping for breath When businessman Lawrence Matz started feeling breathless, he put it down to cutting back on his visits to the gym. A consultant reassured him that by resuming his fitness regime — three visits a week to the gym and weekends on the golf course — he would soon be back to normal. But the breathlessness got worse — walking around the house left him panting. So two months later, Lawrence, 57, went to his GP. Finally, three months later, he was referred to a chest specialist. Until recently, the condition was relatively rare, but a report last week, published in the medical journal Thorax, said the numbers affected by it are increasing.

The amount of new cases diagnosed each year in this country shot up by over a third between 2000 and 2008, to 15,000 sufferers. However, with IPF, the alveoli become inflamed. Flu breakthrough promises a vaccine to kill all strains | Society. Scientists at Oxford University have successfully tested a universal flu vaccine that could work against all known strains of the illness, taking a significant step in the fight against a disease that affects billions of people each year. The treatment – using a new technique and tested for the first time on humans infected with flu – targets a different part of the flu virus to traditional vaccines, meaning it does not need expensive reformulation every year to match the most prevalent virus that is circulating the world. Developed by a team led by Dr Sarah Gilbert at Oxford's Jenner Institute, the vaccine targets proteins inside the flu virus that are common across all strains, instead of those that sit on the virus's external coat, which are liable to mutate.

If used widely a universal flu vaccine could prevent pandemics, such as the swine flu outbreaks of recent years, and end the need for a seasonal flu jab. Her results showed that the vaccine worked as planned. Doctors too self-interested to put patients first: Royal College of Physicians/Surgeons president - Medicine Matters.

Cuban medics in Haiti put the world to shame - Health News, Health & Families. A medical brigade of 1,200 Cubans is operating all over earthquake-torn and cholera-infected Haiti, as part of Fidel Castro's international medical mission which has won the socialist state many friends, but little international recognition. Observers of the Haiti earthquake could be forgiven for thinking international aid agencies were alone in tackling the devastation that killed 250,000 people and left nearly 1.5 million homeless. In fact, Cuban healthcare workers have been in Haiti since 1998, so when the earthquake struck the 350-strong team jumped into action. And amid the fanfare and publicity surrounding the arrival of help from the US and the UK, hundreds more Cuban doctors, nurses and therapists arrived with barely a mention. Most countries were gone within two months, again leaving the Cubans and Médecins Sans Frontières as the principal healthcare providers for the impoverished Caribbean island.

Politics, inevitably, penetrates many aspects of Cuban healthcare.

Deadly Superbugs are Spread Miles from Farms by House Flies. For related articles and more information, please visit OCA's Health Resource page.

Potentially deadly superbugs can be spread by flies from farms to people living miles away, scientists warned last night. Researchers have found disturbing evidence that houseflies and cockroaches carry antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria normally found in the guts of livestock. In tests, the same strains living in the intestines of pigs were discovered in insects flying and crawling around the farm. Flies can travel for miles, spreading bacteria each time they land on food. Organic farmers said the study highlighted the dangers of overusing antibiotics on farms and called for an urgent inquiry into the links between livestock and superbugs. Although drug resistant bacteria such as MRSA are usually regarded as problems for hospitals, there is increasing evidence linking superbugs to farms.

Dihydrogen Monoxide Research Division - dihydrogen monoxide info. Man cured of AIDS after receiving stem cell transplant. (NaturalNews) In what many in the mainstream media and medical community have now dubbed their first known case of cured AIDS, Timothy Ray Brown's miraculous healing from the deadly syndrome is sending shock waves throughout the world. After receiving a bone marrow stem cell transplant back in 2007, Brown inherited a genetic immunity from those stem cells that cured him of not only AIDS, but also leukemia. Dubbed "The Berlin Patient," Brown first tested positive for HIV back in 1995. And for years, he unsuccessfuly battled the disease using conventional methods. But when doctors decided to give him a stem cell transplant, everything changed. "I quit taking my HIV medication the day that I got the transplant and haven't had to take any since," said Brown to reporters from CBS 5 in San Francisco.

According to reports, roughly one percent of Caucasians have a natural immunity to HIV and AIDS, and the stem cells Brown received came from someone within this rare one percent.
