Study attacks Calcium supplements, ignores Magnesium - Health Supreme NewsGrabs Sunday, 1 August 2010
Calcium supplements linked to increased risk of heart attack
Calcium supplements, commonly taken by older people for osteoporosis, are associated with an increased risk of a heart attack, finds a study published in the British Medical Journal.Calcium supplements are commonly prescribed for skeletal health, but a recent trial suggested they might increase rates of heart attack (myocardial infarction) and cardiovascular events in healthy older women.
Another report on the same study:
Calcium Supplements May Carry Heart Attack Risk
"As calcium supplements are widely used, these modest increases in risk of cardiovascular disease might translate into a large burden of disease in the population," the researchers wrote. "A reassessment of the role of calcium supplements in the management of osteoporosis is warranted."Considering the available evidence, they wrote, "patients with osteoporosis should generally not be treated with calcium supplements, either alone or combined with vitamin D, unless they are also receiving an effective treatment for osteoporosis for a recognized indication."
There is not a word about magnesium. Too much calcium, taken in isolation, can unbalance magnesium and cause a deficiency of this vital mineral. Everyone in the natural health movement who knows anything about nutrition knows, and certainly those researchers should know, about the importance of magnesium, a mineral which needs to be balanced with calcium. Magnesium is vital for the heart muscle to work properly. Why are those researchers not looking at the very obvious? Is there a hidden agenda here to push medication at the expense of nutrition?Also check out Dr Carolyn Dean's thoughts on calcium and magnesium here: Cancel the Calcium
Flavanol-rich foods may help heart disease patients
Study results indicate that flavanols may increase a population of certain cells in the blood that scientists think help to repair the inner walls of blood vessels, improving blood flow and potentially lowering blood pressure.This suggests that, in the future, isolated flavanols or flavanol-rich foods might be useful in preventing or possibly even treating coronary artery disease, in which the arteries narrow as plaque builds up on the endothelium lining the inner artery walls, said study co-author Carl Keen. A UC Davis nutrition professor, Keen is an authority on the potential health benefits of this class of phytonutrients.
Gel that can help decayed teeth grow back could end fillings
A gel that can help decayed teeth grow back in just weeks may mean an end to fillings.The gel, which is being developed by scientists in France, works by prompting cells in teeth to start multiplying. They then form healthy new tooth tissue that gradually replaces what has been lost to decay.
Toxic legacy of US assault on Fallujah 'worse than Hiroshima'
Dramatic increases in infant mortality, cancer and leukaemia in the Iraqi city of Fallujah, which was bombarded by US Marines in 2004, exceed those reported by survivors of the atomic bombs that were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, according to a new study.Iraqi doctors in Fallujah have complained since 2005 of being overwhelmed by the number of babies with serious birth defects, ranging from a girl born with two heads to paralysis of the lower limbs. They said they were also seeing far more cancers than they did before the battle for Fallujah between US troops and insurgents.
Pharma: Sanofi-Aventis Sues FDA Over Approval of Generic Blood Thinning Drug
In arguing its case, Sanofi claims the FDA is allowing a generic to be sold that is not similar in safety or efficacy to Lovenox, which generated $4 billion in sales last year. And so Sanofi is seeking a temporary restraining order to force the FDA to withdraw approval, which would prevent Momenta and its partner, the Sandoz generic unit of Novartis, from moving forward. Sanofi has moved aggressively before to thwart generic Lovenox, filing a citizen’s petition with the FDA in 2003 and again last year, although in that instance, the document was filed by scientists with ties to the drugmaker.Pharma is BIG business. As long as there is more money to be made, pharmaceutical manufacturers will do everything in their power to prevent cheaper drugs from becoming available, even going to court against the FDA. No wonder our health care system is becoming so expensive it can no longer be paid for.
Malicious drugging of kids
(Vancouver Sun, article was pulled)
Researchers analyzed information from the U.S. National Poison Centre Data System from the past decade and found a small but steady number of young children, median age two, who were exposed to at least one sedating agent, including street drugs, antipsychotics, cough medicines and ethanol."It's an aspect of child abuse that is not often considered," said Dr. Shan Yin, a pediatrician at the Cincinnati Children's Hospital and author of the study published in the Journal of Pediatrics. "I think this is going on, probably throughout the country, and we're not paying attention to it."
Swedish Suicide Data 2007: Majority Treated With Psych Drugs
In 2007, there were 1,126 definite suicides in Sweden (325 women and 801 men).
Autopsy reports were made for 1,109 of the suicides--which is 98%.The majority of persons who committed suicide in Sweden in 2007 had received extensive treatment with psychiatric drugs within a year of committing suicide.
None of these suicide cases were reported to the registry for adverse drug events.
A psychiatric drug withdrawal primer
Whether you want to completely withdraw from meds or simply wish to minimize what you take, the first thing I will refer you to is a paper written by Joanna Moncrieff. It refers mostly to withdrawal from neuroleptics, but much can be inferred about most psychiatric medication. This paper may induce fear in those hoping to withdraw from drugs, but I think it important that people understand that there are, indeed, real dangers and risks associated with drug withdrawal–most notably in precipitous withdrawal or withdrawal without appropriate supports.
New mental health 'bible' will lead to almost everyone having a disorder
Diagnoses for 'disorders' could be based on symptoms including toddler tantrums, mild mood swings and binge eating.Sweeping changes are being made to the U.S Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), which influences practitioners around the world.
However, leading British mental health experts have warned the revisions could devalue the seriousness of mental illness and label almost everyone as having some kind of disorder.
Translation: For psychiatrists, almost everyone is crazy (and needs to be drugged)
Sudden Deaths after Pentavalent vaccination: 'Experts' blow off vaccine connection
According to an expert on the committee investigating the Pakistan deaths, one child died within half an hour of receiving the vaccine and 2 others died within 12 to 14 hours. No alternate cause of death was found for any of the deaths but the experts misleadingly suggest that ‘two cases were diagnosed as Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) but we (the experts) were not sure of the third case’. Yet in no case was the vaccine blamed for the deaths.The 'expert report' on the 8 deaths in Bhutan is not available in the public domain as far as we can ascertain. A WHO spokesperson is reported to have said the cause of death in Bhutan was not vaccination, but they were due to a three other causes namely ‘sudden death, convulsions and meningitis’.
World Health Organization Cover-Up of Child Vaccine Deaths
The report by a group, including paediatricians, professors, health activists and a former Indian health secretary, cautions against the introduction of the five-in-one vaccine that combines antigens against five diseases - diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus (DPT), hepatitis B and Haemophilus Influenzae type B (HIB) - in a single shot.'Our article describes how the World Health Organisation (WHO), in an elaborate cover-up, changed its own criteria for classifying adverse effects to say the vaccine was not responsible for the deaths in Sri Lanka,' Jacob Puliyel, head of paediatrics at St Stephen's Hospital in Delhi and key author, told IANS.
The Rockefeller Foundation Drafts A Post Pandemic Scenario
"We have found that the combined infection of embryos with swine influenza virus and H. infl~nzae suis produces a highly lethal infection, while neither one alone kills many embryos. Infection with the virus allows the Hemophilus to persist longer than it does in normal embryos. Finally the combined infection has a selective destructive effect on the embryo lungs." Frederik B. Bang, M.D/1942The Rockefeller Foundation recently published "Scenarios for the Future of Technology and International Development'; an in depth examination of society under various degrees/types of dictatorial 'governance' - the implications that, given a total societal collapse, humans would willingly relinquish their already limited freedoms in exchange for manageable order; a grave reminder of how the so called 'useless eaters' or 'bottom feeders' are perceived by the elites, as essentially passive & malleable, subject to conditioning on a flowchart. The Rockefeller vision, a dystopic clinical analysis of human behavior in response to a major pandemic leaves little doubt as to the ultimate purpose behind the veil of misguided over-reaching philanthropy.
Excerpt from study: Scenario Narratives: LOCK STEP – A world of tighter top-down government control and more authoritarian leadership, with limited innovation and growing citizen pushback:
In 2012, the pandemic that the world had been anticipating for years finally hit. Unlike 2009's H1N1, this new influenza strain — originating from wild geese — was extremely virulent and deadly. Even the most pandemic-prepared nations were quickly overwhelmed when the virus streaked around the world, infecting nearly 20 percent of the global population and killing 8 million in just seven months, the majority of them healthy young adults.
Out of control: AIDS and the corruption of medical science
Joyce Ann Hafford was a single mother living alone with her thirteen-year-old son, Jermal, in Memphis, Tennessee, when she learned that she was pregnant with her second child. She worked as a customer service representative at a company called CMC Call Center; her son was a top student, an athlete and musician. In April 2003, Hafford, four months pregnant, was urged by her obstetrician to take an HIV test. She agreed, even though she was healthy and had no reason to think she might be HIV positive. The test result came up positive, though Hafford was tested only once, and she did not know that pregnancy itself can cause a false positive HIV test...- - -
