Summary of the eRumor: The story of an 11-year-old girl who has had menstrual bleeding since she was 8 and has also started lactating. The eRumor says it is because she's been drinking milk injected with rBST, a hormone given to cows to increase their milk production. The eRumor focuses on Wal-Mart Great Value milk as a source of the rBST and recommends against feeding it to your family. The Truth: There is controversy over rBST, which stands for recombinant bovine somatotropin. It is an artificial growth hormone used in cows. We've not found the family of Marissa, the 11-year old girl referenced in the eRumor. If she is real her family's suspicions are worthy of consideration but do not constitute proof that what they describe has been caused by ingesting milk from Wal-Mart. There are other conditions that can cause early menstruation such as

Calcium and vitamin D lower the risk of cardiovascular disease for people who follow a weight loss program, according to a recent study. Calcium and vitamin D supplements also have an impact on the level of cholesterol. The study involved sixty-three overweight women and had them follow a low-calorie diet for fifteen weeks. First, the women had a daily calcium intake of 700 mg, below the 1000 mg recommended. Later, the dosage was increased to 1200 mg of calcium with vitamin D. The study showed a significant improvement of the HDL, the good cholesterol, and a lower level of bad cholesterol (LDL) for the subjects. The loss of weight registered by the subjects during the low-calorie diet did not seem to affect the level of good cholesterol. It appeared that calcium and vitamin D may lower the cardiovascular risk for women with low calcium levels. The same research team previously showed that people may have a higher LDL level, higher fat percentage, or wider waists if their calcium intake

Anyone find out where Oregon is in this study? Minnesota residents drink too much, but they have a low premature death rate. Mississippians don't overindulge, but only a fifth of the population has health insurance. And Vermont seems to be under a lucky star—few uninsured residents, a very low rate of infectious diseases, and a low premature death rate.

The Hungarian Health Minister HORVÁTH Ágnes visited a hospital under construction in Afghanistan with her husband. Opposition party FIDESZ argued that if the Ministry was invited, then a relative had nothing to do there especially on the money of the taxpayers. And besides, as the National Defence Workgroup of the party said the pink case of the Minister had been a security threat to the whole Hungarian base because of its "rich colour".I apologise to all the photoshop experts!

(The post title refers to the Netherlands, of course.)As reported here in last Tuesday’s New York Times, Health And Human Services director Mike Leavitt will travel to Switzerland on Nov. 7 and then fly to The Hague in The Netherlands for two days to look at how those two countries provide health care for their citizens.As noted in the story…In Switzerland and the Netherlands, all people have to obtain health insurance or pay a penalty. Employers are exempt from the mandates, and private insurers and hospitals provide care.“We have been hearing a lot of people in the health policy community talk about how those two countries had been doing new things in health access, and the secretary wanted to get a closer look at what they’re doing,” a department official said.The trip is not a sign, however, that the Bush administration is considering major health initiatives, officials said.“We don’t have anything cooking that we haven’t announced,” the department official said.

I think it is no secret with new mothers that after giving birth to your little bub, especially if it is through the normal way, you are bound to end up with hemorrhoids. It sounds pretty awful I know but I, for one, was not spared. All that pushing and bearing down just made all my veins pop out. That is why it is so difficult to sit down on your bottom after the delivery. And it can go on for weeks! It is just terrible.Having a little lifesaver on the side, they say, can ease one's discomfort. Unfortunately, at that time, I was not able to purchase one for myself because I did not know it would hurt that much. Well, I should have probably bought some topical creams instead to relieve me of my pain. Tablets or pills would definitely be out of the question because I was (and still am) breastfeeding Erin. Yeah, maybe I should take this into account the next time we have another baby. The big question now is when. Ha! Not anytime soon, that's for sure!

President Bush has consistently accused Democratic opponents for their failure to “support our troops” and at tempted to portray himself as the defender of those who fight or have fought for this country. A new study from researchers at the Harvard Medical School report that about 1.8 million veterans under the age of 65 lack medical coverage in the United States of America. As the report notes, “Like other uninsured Americans, most uninsured vets are working people– too poor to afford private coverage, but not poor enough to qualify for Medicaid or means-tested VA care.” Dr. Jeffrey Scavron in a biting remark pointed out, “only the government can put men and women into military service and only the government can guarantee that they are covered after they serve.” The report only points out that beginning in 2003, the Veterans administration began denying medical care for those whose salary was too high.

The New York Post reports that mom-to-be Nicole Richie was recently caught smoking on two separate occasions while in New York City. Incident #1: 3:30 p.m. Pony tail, black jeans, waistcoat. Exits DaSilvano with one young girl, one middle-age lady. On the sidewalk, after checking who’s at which outdoor tables, she lights up. They jump into a waiting black Caddy Escalade, Nicole into the front seat. Still smoking. Incident #2: Three days later, 7:30 p.m., Nobu. She’s there with the baby in the bun’s father. They leave. Outside she lights up again. Damn Nicole… Give your baby a chance and stop smoking! Wait, what am I saying? That baby was doomed on penetration! Here’s Nicole Richie & boyfriend Joel Madden in Aussie “OK!” Nicole Richie

How science is changing and how new science can change your health forever…An understanding of the evolution of science requires a partial look at historical context. The first few paragraphs will bore some, make others heads spin, and an overly bright few will see errors and omissions! (I am not a scientist!) Nevertheless, wade through if you can, as understanding the content is not as important as the context, that is, the framework for where we are going. It is an exciting new frontier and will play a role in the mass healing that is coming to our world! The last paragraphs will hopefully bring all of this understanding together for you to help clarify what direction your own personal healing work will take.Okay to begin this journey, I must mention Newton’s second law which applies to macroscopic particles, where the smallest mass is the cell. In summary: As the force acting upon an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is increased. As the mass of an object is in

So these fires in CA are good for public health right? Honesty is the best policy -- and no policy of this administration... ...but the White House altered her testimony before it was delivered. References to potential health risks were removed; one CDC official said Gerberding's draft "was eviscerated"; and details on how many people might be adversely affected because of increased warming were

A mother in Tamil Nadu, India, recently had a question for our new series on children and parenting. This woman in Tuticorin has a son who is almost three years old. He attends a pre-kindergarten school. She wonders why he often suffers from a blocked or leaky nose and a cough. Along with these, he gets a temperature of thirty-eight and three-tenths degrees Celsius.Of course, the only advice we can give our listeners is to ask a medical professional about any conditions. But this is a good chance to talk about young children in group settings. There is a reason why schools and child care centers are known as germ factories.Children can come in contact with all sorts of bacteria, viruses and other organisms as they share toys, toilets and towels. Some will make them sick, others are harmless.Good hand washing is an important way to reduce the spread of infections. Caregivers should also be trained in ways to clean, sanitize and disinfect. The Web site for the National Resource Center fo

Is it time for radical new ideas about health? Is it time for government to take a more active role ensuring the health of its citizens? Professor Julian Le Grand, chair of Health England, told an audience about his new ideas to take a dramatic attack in dealing with health problems in England. His nation currently leads European Union nations with a 24.2% obesity rate. He came out for a vigorous program ensuing people exercised and a strategy to reduce smoking which still remains among the leading killers of people. Under his proposal, companies would be required to offer an “exercise hour” during working hours that enables people to engage in physical exercise programs. He also proposes requiring individuals who wish to smoke to purchase a “smoking license” each year -perhaps even requiring a doctor’s signature -that would be produced when purchasing cigarettes. Le Grand argues for a form of “libertarian paternalism” in which government tak
