Reforming Medicine? - Health Supreme NewsGrabs Thursday, 11 March 2010

Josef Hasslberger - Health Supreme — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 16:10:47 GMT

Reforming Medicine - Can it be done? Western scientific medicine has been dominated for almost a century by a strong industrial interest group, the pharmaceutical manufacturers. This domination and the commercial interest behind it, prevent any real reform even in the face of evidence that some natural treatment method works better than the pharma-based method of choice. Since public health is deteriorating, reform seems needed... Update on Senator McCain's plans to 'Europeanise' US supplement laws So far, Senator McCain has remained publicly silent. The last public statement he made was his floor statement in which he seemed to misunderstand what was in his own bill.

Europe: Herbal Medicine in Distress - Health Supreme NewsGrabs Monday, 8 March 2010

Josef Hasslberger - Health Supreme — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 08:36:46 GMT

Europe: Traditional Herbal Medicines in Legislative Distress When the Traditional Herbal Medicinal Products Directive was passed in 2004, many herbal producers, including those producing herbs for the great and ancient traditions of Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine, saw the Directive as a ‘godsend’. Here was a piece of law that would give these herbal products a proper medicinal classification, meaning they could actually be used to help make sick people healthier. Actually it did not turn out this way. The medicinal registration process is a hurdle so difficult to take that not one product of the prolific Ayurvedic and Chinese herbal traditions has successfully navigated its pitfalls. Even Europe's own herbal tradition is not in much better...

Will Pharma go down in Supplement War? - Health Supreme NewsGrabs Thursday, 4 March 2010

Josef Hasslberger - Health Supreme — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 16:18:57 GMT

After Europe, it seems that the pharmaceutical industry, in collusion with certain lawmakers and regulators is now targeting the relative freedom of Americans to supplement their diet with nutrients. Do they really want to create a world wide black market in nutritional supplements? How crazy! Actions like that will only hasten the demise of pharma-controlled medicine ... as people continue to rebelliously insist on popping those nasty vitamins and herbs. USA: Goverment to Abolish Freedom of Access to Nutritional Supplements If Arizona Senator John McCain has his way, many of the supplements you rely on for good health will disappear. And the cost of the few you can still get will explode in price. Earlier this...

Adverse drug reactions - Health Supreme NewsGrabs Friday, 26 February 2010

Josef Hasslberger - Health Supreme — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 11:54:33 GMT

USA: The Drugs That Generated Most Adverse Event Reports In the third quarter of 2009, the number of serious, disabling and fatal adverse drug events reported to the FDA numbered 29,065, compared to 26,809 in the same quarter a year earlier, an 8.4 percent rise, according to the Institute for Safe Medicine Practices. For the first three quarters of 2009 combined, the total number of reports was 8.1 percent higher than in the same period of 2008. (Link to article) Adverse drug reactions on the increase. This is a trend going in the wrong direction. How about a new strategy to reverse the trend of drugs maiming and killing ever greater numbers of patients? All it...

US: Supplements Attacked in McCain Bill - Health Supreme NewsGrabs Tuesday, 23 February 2010

Josef Hasslberger - Health Supreme — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 10:10:26 GMT

Those proposed new supplement regulations remind me of what we have had in Europe for a few years now. Who'd have thought the (EU) tail would ever be wagging the (US) dog... or is it a matter of McCain working for the same masters that control both of our respective areas? ... and yes, illegal doping was also used in the EU to "demonstrate the need" for a supplements directive. They aren't very original in their campaign strategies, are they? USA: New Bill Seeks to Repeal Key Sections of Dietary Supplement Health McCain’s bill is called The Dietary Supplement Safety Act (DSSA). It would repeal key sections of the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA). DSHEA...

Vitamins Extend Cancer Patients' Lives - Health Supreme NewsGrabs Thursday, 18 February 2010

Josef Hasslberger - Health Supreme — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 09:53:48 GMT

Cocktail of five vitamins may give cancer patients an extra two years Cancer patients with terminal disease who take a daily cocktail of vitamins could extend their lives by two years or even longer, claim researchers. Three out of four in a pilot study survived an average of five months longer than the expected one year, and some were still alive three years after treatment started. Dr Bob Lister, co-author of the study by British and Danish researchers, said the results were similar to the survival gains from new drugs and in some cases better. But the important difference was there were no side effects reported by patients taking vitamins, he said. Now imagine taking those...

Pfizer's Lipitor marketing - Health Supreme NewsGrabs Friday, 12 February 2010

Josef Hasslberger - Health Supreme — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 10:55:56 GMT

Lipitor is a drug that impedes cholesterol synthesis in the liver in an attempt to prevent cardiovascular illness. In a mechanical sense, this would be like taking a hammer to the red warning light to handle the lack of motor oil. In the process, the drug unbalances other vital functions of the human metabolism. Judging from the experience of many Lipitor users, the drug is dangerous. Side effects range from sometimes excruciating muscle pains to kidney failure, from disorientation and memory loss to incapacitation. Earlier articles on Health Supreme have accumulated a range of spontaneous comments from Lipitor users and their relatives that are heart-rending to consider in their full implications. Pfizer should get into trouble for...

'Third-hand smoke'? - Health Supreme NewsGrabs Monday, 9 February 2010

Josef Hasslberger - Health Supreme — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 09:04:49 GMT

Is the anti-smoking campaign a cover-up of ongoing pollution and other health-destroying activities? BBC reports on a Berkeley study that introduces yet another level in the anti-smoking campaign: Not only does smoking and even second-hand smoke cause cancer, but now "third hand smoke" is to be blamed as well. Wait a minute! What are those people trying to cover for? What about hundreds of thousands of deaths from pharmaceuticals, what about chemical toxins such as pesticides and herbicides we find in the environment and in our food, what about depleted uranium being liberally vaporized in "theaters of conflict", what about radioactivity from leaks in our power plants, what about microwave pollution from mobile phones and other communication...

Amino acid imbalance may be cause of autism - Health Supreme NewsGrabs Thursday, 4 February 2010

Josef Hasslberger - Health Supreme — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 16:38:40 GMT

Amino acid imbalance may be cause of Autism A New Jersey based think tank, The Center for Modeling Optimal Outcomes, LLC made an inadvertent and amazing discovery. According to The Center's founder, William McFaul, a retired business person and not a member of the scientific community, "Because of its universal applicability, our Life Sciences group has already used the model as a tool to identify highly probable causal paths for several illnesses and disease entities. Autism was one of most difficult illnesses The Center had attempted to analyze.

By the way ... today's date is 01022010 ... if we adopt the European way of writing dates. Palindrome anyone? The Rise Of Marketing-Based Medicine “While much excitement has been generated surrounding evidence-based medicine, internal documents from the pharmaceutical industry suggest that the publicly available evidence base may not accurately represent the underlying data regarding its products,” they write in Bioethical Inquiry. “We propose that while evidence-based medicine is a noble ideal, marketing-based medicine is the current reality…Although many internal industry documents are legally available on the internet, there are as yet few publications in the biomedical literature based primarily on internal industry sources. These internal documents, as well as material drawn from other sources, provide...

Whistleblowers Charge: Psychiatric Prescriptions are Medicaid Fraud - Health Supreme NewsGrabs Tuesday, 26 January 2010

PsychRights whistleblower suit challenges psychiatric prescriptions, charges medicaid fraud "Even though the drug companies have been using these methods to induce psychiatrists to prescribe these drugs, it is the psychiatrists' responsibility to base their decisions on the facts, not drug company marketing," said Mr. Gottstein, continuing, "the uncritical acceptance of pharmaceutical company hype represents a massive betrayal of trust by the psychiatrists prescribing these drugs to children and youth."

Poison Control Statistics Prove Supplement Safety - Health Supreme NewsGrabs Saturday, 23 January 2010

Poison Control Statistics Prove Supplements' Safety: No Deaths from Vitamins, Minerals, Amino Acids or Herbs There was not even one death caused by a dietary supplement in 2008, according to the most recent information collected by the U.S. National Poison Data System. The new 174-page annual report of the American Association of Poison Control Centers, published in the journal Clinical Toxicology, shows zero deaths from multiple vitamins; zero deaths from any of the B vitamins; zero deaths from vitamins A, C, D, or E; and zero deaths from any other vitamin. Additionally, there were no deaths whatsoever from any amino acid or herbal product. This means no deaths at all from blue cohosh, echinacea, ginkgo biloba,...

Eating saturated fat does not cause heart disease - Health Supreme NewsGrabs Tuesday, 19 January 2010

Josef Hasslberger - Health Supreme — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 15:42:19 GMT

New study puts “saturated fat causes heart disease” meme to rest The recent review I’m talking about is a meta-analysis published this week in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. It pooled together data from 21 unique studies that included almost 350,000 people, about 11,000 of whom developed cardiovascular disease (CVD), tracked for an average of 14 years, and concluded that there is no relationship between the intake of saturated fat and the incidence of heart disease or stroke. Let me put that in layman’s terms for you: Eating saturated fat doesn’t cause heart disease. Germs That Are Good For You Most adults are overweight, as are 15% of grade school children.

EU Plans to limit vitamin dosage seriously flawed - Health Supreme NewsGrabs Thursday, 14 January 2010

Josef Hasslberger - Health Supreme — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 16:55:34 GMT

The European Union has fallen prey to pharmaceutical influence peddlers. This has become painfully obvious with the recent 'swine flu pandemic'. Several EU governments are trying to sell off or give away those stocks of vaccines the peddlers told them they must buy or face great liability. That nefarious pharma influence on health care regulators has also been obvious to any serious observer of the nutrition and natural medicines scene for more than a decade. The European Commission's recent directives on medicines laws and nutrients bear testimony to that. As the Italian saying goes, the knots are now coming to the comb, meaning it is becoming obvious that - just like buying millions of doses of...

Will European health claims restrictions rub off on US? - NewsGrabs Sunday, 10 January 2010

Josef Hasslberger - Health Supreme — Sun, 10 Jan 2010 18:24:11 GMT

Europe is very restrictive in what it allows to be said about the health properties of foods on product labels. In their latest article, the Alliance for Natural Health points out that there is a campaign for US regulations to follow the European directives in this instance. If we think about the high level meetings to establish a common EU/US market, such a step would not seem too strange - things have to meet somewhere. On food-health-information, Europe is not likely to cede ground which, in a way, is a pity. There is a real lack of information on the healthy properties of food - courtesy of pharma-engineered restrictions of what can and cannot be said...

The Codex Alimentarius Scaremongers - NewsGrabs Tuesday, 5 January 2010

How To Design Schools And A New Education System For The Future: A Video Interview With George Siemens

Robin Good — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 11:08:00 GMT

How to design schools and a new education system for the future? Is it possible to extract only the positive aspects of the current education paradigm and create a brand new schooling model? Photo credit: Jose Manuel Gelpi Diaz

Somehow we have to recognize what is it that schools do well, what functionality do schools serve for a society... but how can we do that without institutionalizing the experience. [...] All of our society is structured to institutionalize our experiences. Work institutionalizes us. There is the odd person who can take what you have done and sort of make your own freedom and do your own work, but most people... we move into an institution for employment, we move into an institution for health-care need, we move into an institution for schooling needs... What happens is you cannot then just stop and break one part of your life apart and not institutionalize it.

According to George Siemens, you and I are so used to living our lives in such kind of "social installments" that we do not even realize how everything we experience is compartmentalized. Parents go to work and kids go to school ...

Marine aquaculture can feed the world - NewsGrabs Wednesday, 9 December 2009

Josef Hasslberger - Health Supreme — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 20:15:24 GMT

There is some trouble feeding the world's population, at least there is a potential for a "food bottleneck" if we factor in growing population numbers. Organic agriculture and small scale local farming could help get past that bottleneck, but sooner or later we have to face the rather wasteful production of animal protein. There is a solution to that - we can grow very highly nutritious food by cultivating plankton, tiny creatures that live and multiply in sea water. They are very low on the food chain and supply great protein. Developing this food source could unburden the agricultural practice of animal husbandry, while still providing good nutrition for growing numbers of people. Marine aquaculture could...

Another Aids day - and naturally we will see some scientists and celebrities clamoring for more money for testing and drugs. Those are the people who haven't yet understood that we should really be celebrating No-Aids-Day instead. The Aids mainstream is denying mounting evidence that Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome is multi-factorial, that it is not due to any dangerous virus, and that the best prevention is providing healthy nutrition. Aids should be treated by strengthening the body's own immune defenses, not by destroying immunity with toxic "retroviral" drugs. Let's make sure this is the last Aids Day and that next year we celebrate No-Aids-Day instead. Viceo: Aids Incorporated (Trailer) by Gary Null More than 200 million Americans...
