National Guard will be Used to Quarantine in Flu Pandemic
2007-05-13 10:04:00
Military and civilian health facilities will be overwhelmed if a nationwide flu pandemic hits the United States, and the National Guard may have to be called out to provide medical help and even enforce a quarantine, the Defense Department warned in a report released Wednesday.As the Pentagon fights criticism from congressional Democrats that the war in Iraq is depleting the National Guard's ability to help out in domestic crises, the 86-page report says a possible pandemic could require National Guard assistance in supplying medical aid or isolating groups of people to minimize further spread of the disease.About 3 million people could die as a result of a possible pandemic, with up to 35 percent of the population falling ill, reads the report dated August 2006 and titled "The Department of Defense Implementation Plan for Pandemic Influenza."According to the report, in the event of a pandemic or a bioterror attack, the Defense Department may be called by the president to assist civil ...

HPV Vaccine is Not Safe
2007-05-11 12:30:00
As human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine requirements are being considered by state legislatures all over the United States, I suspect reports from this week's New England Journal of Medicine may prompt them to reconsider their positions.These findings that question the need for young girls to be vaccinated for HPV certainly aren't surprising to me. For one, even though Merck's vaccine Gardasil blocks almost all of the infections produced by two HPV strains, it lowered the appearance of cancer precursors by just 17 percent. These modest results certainly prompted some health experts to urge parents to use more caution before considering whether or not to vaccinate their young girls.Perhaps, caution isn't really the proper word to describe all the problems associated with Gardasil, as there are indications that blocking these HPV strains may open the door to newer, more virulent strains, once considered to be "minor" factors, negating any health benefit the vaccine may offer.All this a ...

Organic Can Help Fight World Hunger
2007-05-11 12:25:00
You'll be wondering why most farmers still rely on conventional methods to grow the pesticide-laden foods that fill grocery stores throughout the world after reading this fascinating study that argues a large shift to organic agriculture can help the world not only protect and improve the environment, but help world hunger too.That's the short version of the results reported in a Danish study which estimated few ill effects on food security for sub-Saharan Africa if just half of the regions exporting foods in Europe and North America made the switch to organic farming. The report also cites recent models of an organically grown, global food supply that show the more environmentally friendly approach to agriculture is capable of producing enough food for the world's current population.What prevents many farmers from making the move to organic: Crop yields could drop as high as 50 percent in the beginning before evening out over time. That problem may be mitigated somewhat because far ...

Caution: Your Neighbor's Drugs Could Be in Your Water
2007-05-08 16:23:00
Flushing old medications down the toilet, a step long advised by consumer safety groups as a means of keeping dangerous drugs away from children and pets, is no longer recommended by government agencies and private groups.There is a growing concern that drugs in waterways could pose hazards to fish, plants and possibly humans.While there is no proven cause-and-effect relationship between drug residues and health or environmental harm, common sense and troubling indications, such as the appearance of hermaphroditic fish in some rivers, make keeping water drug-free a sensible precaution.Recent guidelines issued in February by the EPA and other government agencies encourage the following steps:Throw most drugs in the trash after crushing them or dissolving them in water, mixing them with kitty litter, coffee grounds or other unappealing materials, and placing the mixture in a sealed plastic bag.Remove and destroy any prescription labels before throwing away the containers.In some states, ...

Is Bottled Water Really Clean?
2007-05-08 16:05:00
Bottled water, although touted as pure, may not be any cleaner than tap water. Up to 40 percent of bottled water is bottled tap water that may or may not have received additional treatment.The Environmental Protection Agency regulates the quality of public water supplies, however they have no authority over bottled water. Further, bottled water labels can be misleading and may depict mountains and streams when the water actually came from a well in an industrial facility parking lot.Environmental groups have also voiced concerns over the huge amounts of waste and toxins created by the bottled water industry. ...

JFK Assasination Finally Solved....
2007-05-08 15:54:00
Bruce Willis' insightful and definitive comments to Vanity Fair about the assassination of JFK, in which he boldly states that Kennedy's killers were never caught and are still in power today, are a benchmark as to how far the truth movement has progressed since 9/11."They still haven't caught the guy that killed [President] Kennedy," Willis told Vanity Fair's June issue."I'll get killed for saying this, but I'm pretty sure those guys are still in power, in some form. The entire government of the United States was co-opted," adds the Die Hard star.Bruce Willis is a perfect example of how the rampant corruption of the U.S. government and the overwhelming evidence proving that the entire war on terror is a manufactured hoax has ostracized even the administration's most fervent cheerleaders.The son of a military man, Willis was and still is an ardent patriot and like many was caught up in the post-9/11 fervor, believing that his beloved America had been attacked from outside and co ...

"URGENT" - Government Says Bio-Weapons Could be Used to Combat Overpopulation
2007-05-07 13:58:00
A British government Ministry of Defence report outlines a nightmare future society in which the population are forced to accept brain chips, immigration and urbanization ravages communities, class warfare ensues, and biological and neutron weapons are used to combat overpopulation.The MoD's Development, Concepts & Doctrine Center drew up the document to crystallize the "future strategic context" likely to face Britain's armed forces, according to a report in the London Guardian today.Since every deliberate action of government and industry is working to realize this future, we should look at this as a strategy plan rather than a warning of things to come.The report hypothesizes what the world will be like in under 30 years and is an "analysis of the key risks and shocks" the planet is likely to face. It's predictions include;- The development of neutron weapons that destroy living organs but not buildings and "make a weapon of choice for extreme ethnic cleansing in an increasingly ...

Who Wants World Population Under 1 Billion?
2007-05-07 13:41:00
Apparently, saving the whales is more important than saving 5.5 billion people. Paul Watson, founder and president of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society and famous for militant intervention to stop whalers, now warns mankind is ?acting like a virus? and is harming Mother Earth.Watson's May 4 editorial asked the question ?The Beginning of the End for Life as We Know it on Planet Earth?? Then he left no doubt about the answer. ?We are killing our host the planet Earth,? he claimed and called for a population drop to less than 1 billion.The commentary reminded readers that Watson had called humans a disease before and he wasn't sorry. ?I was once severely criticized for describing human beings as being the ?AIDS of the Earth.' I make no apologies for that statement,? the column continued.Watson was invoking the worst of Robert Malthus, an English political economist who claimed that mankind was overpopulating the earth. That claimed first appeared in the late 1700s. Watson urged som ...

"Urgent" - Honeybee Die-off Threatens Human Race
2007-05-05 14:44:00
BELTSVILLE, Md. - Unless someone or something stops it soon, the mysterious killer that is wiping out many of the nation's honeybees could have a devastating effect on America's dinner plate, perhaps even reducing us to a glorified bread-and-water diet.Honeybees don't just make honey; they pollinate more than 90 of the tastiest flowering crops we have. Among them: apples, nuts, avocados, soybeans, asparagus, broccoli, celery, squash and cucumbers. And lots of the really sweet and tart stuff, too, including citrus fruit, peaches, kiwi, cherries, blueberries, cranberries, strawberries, cantaloupe and other melons.In fact, about one-third of the human diet comes from insect-pollinated plants, and the honeybee is responsible for 80 percent of that pollination, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.Even cattle, which feed on alfalfa, depend on bees. So if the collapse worsens, we could end up being "stuck with grains and water," said Kevin Hackett, the national program leader f ...
