     "Some Canadian producers, meanwhile, say they are seeing an increase in demand from U.S. buyers as U.S. health officials work to trace the source of the multi-state salmonella food poisoning outbreak. “We've been getting lots of calls from U.S. buyers looking to purchase our tomatoes,” said Maureen Sheehan, the marketing director for B.C. Hot House Foods Inc. “They know our product is safe.” Canadian retailers are also buying Canadian as they continue to stock tomatoes for their customers."

    10 Minutes Of Staring at Boobs Daily Prolongs Man's Life by 5 Years...

     "Sexual excitement gets the heart pumping and improves blood circulation. There's no question: Gazing at large breasts makes men healthier. Our study indicates that engaging in this activity a few minutes daily cuts the risk of stroke and heart attack in half." said Weatherby, who even recommended that men aged over 40 should spend at least 10 minutes daily admiring breasts sized "D-cup" or larger. She said that this was as healthy as going to the gym for 30 minutes daily and prolonged a man's life by five years.

    Patients Can't Recall Their Medications To Tell Doctors

     I can tell you from experience, not only couldn't my mother name the drugs she was taking, she was not taking them as prescribed. I investigated this when her behavior first started to change and show signs of dementia. Why is this important? Is my belief that if my mother had been taking her hypertension drugs as prescribed she would be much healthier today and the onset and development of her Alzheimer's might have been delayed.

    Learning to walk properly: like a fox, not a cow
    gingembre
    by gingembre  7-14-2007   
     "Fox walking" vs. "Cow walking": Interesting article on the way we walk in shoes as opposed to the way we evolved to walk--and how to reclaim our natural walk for better health. I have "fox walked" when trying to walk quietly, but it is difficult when wearing shoes. Guess I need to pay more attention to how I walk and see if fox walking barefoot, at least indoors (damned poor idea outdoors in the Canadian winters!) helps my feet feel better . No need to pussyfoot around--just give fox walking a try.

      Conclusion. We conjecture that the U.S. health-care system, as well as the relatively weak welfare safety net, might be why human growth in the United States has not performed as well in relative terms as one would expect on the basis of income alone. The comparative pattern bears some similarly to that of life expectancy insofar as the United States is also lagging behind in that respect. Update: Added "Relative" to title

    CNN Makes Paris More Important than Health Care
    zasel
    by zasel  6-26-2007    4
     CNN, in my opinion, is no longer to be considered a reputable source of important and relevant news. Although I realize Michael Moore is publicizing his new film SICKO, which is of course, self-serving, the film is about an issue of great importance and relevance to the entire country. To bump this discussion of such a critical matter in favour of an interview with Paris Hilton who is relevant to nothing of importance in the overall serious issues confronting our country is an insult to what the news media is supposed to be all about.

    Superbug, Staphylococcus aureus, strikes patients
    k9riley99
    by k9riley99  6-25-2007   
     Past studies have looked at how common the superbug is in specific patient groups, such as emergency-room patients with skin infections in 11 U.S. cities, dialysis patients or those admitted to intensive care units in a sample of a few hundred teaching hospitals. It's difficult to compare prevalence estimates from the different studies, experts said, but the new study suggests the superbug is eight to 11 times more common than some other studies have concluded. The infection can be treated with other antibiotics. Health care workers can prevent spread of the bug through hand-washing and equipment decontamination, and by wearing gloves and gowns and by separating infected people from other patients.

    Plans for end-of-life medical care?: study
    gingembre
    by gingembre  6-9-2007    1
     Planning ahead for medical care at life's end--who does, who doesn't, and who should? This study asked questions of people in their mid to late 60's, but IMO younger people need a plan, too. Just look at poor Terri Schiavo, who collapsed at age 26 in 1990 and, having never regained consciousness, was finally allowed to die at age 41 just two years ago. Study data came from the Wisconsin Longitudinal Study (WLS), a unique 50-year study of more than 10,000 men and women, now in their mid-60s, who graduated from Wisconsin high schools in 1957. Over 7000 of the WLS participants provided info, via phone interviews and mail questionnaires, regarding their plans for end-of-life care. The results aren't surprising. The researchers' next question to explore: "Does end-of-life planning do any good" The assumption now is that having a DPAHC will reduce family suffering and ensure the loved one's wishes are carried out. But the true effectiveness of people's choices has yet to be examined."
