POPSThreat To Medicines From Plant Extinctions The world's most widely-used cancer drug, is Paclitaxel, which is derived from the bark of several species of yew tree.

POPSThe Healing Power of Dogs Integrative Cancer Therapies reported how ordinary house dogs could identify breast and lung cancer patients by smelling their breath. A University of Maine study is testing whether dogs can sniff out ovarian cancer.. Via the breath too, I hope! *LOL* Dogs rock, cats rule. Get a pet. It's good for you. :)

POPSThe Feminization Of Poverty. "The rich will always help the rich. The poor will therefore have to help the poor. Reach out to the poorest wherever they are and help them to help themselves... Then you will succeed."'

POPSIraq Sees Catastrophic Rise In Cholera "We have a catastrophe in Baghdad," she said. Hmm... she for got the word; another . In its most severe forms, cholera is one of the most rapidly fatal illnesses known—a healthy person may become hypotensive within an hour of the onset of symptoms and may die within 2-3 hours if no treatment is provided. More commonly, the disease progresses from the first liquid stool to shock in 4-12 hours, with death following in 18 hours to several days without rehydration treatment. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cholera

POPS400 Sickened By Bromide Poisoning Vaccinations maybe? Pesticides? Secret experiments on humans? Population control? I'm not a conspiracy theorist (*LOL*), so perhaps it's *just* poisonous toys from China or something. Strange. Bromide compounds, especially potassium bromide, were frequently used as sedatives in the 19th and early 20th century. ------------ It has been rumoured (in particular, by British troops during world War II, who believed it was regularly added to their tea) that bromide can reduce incidence of erections for males ------------ Bromide is also used in hot tubs and spas as a germicidal agent. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bromide

POPSTop Ten Uses For Vinegar. Some good cheap tips here. I have always used vinegar as a fabric softener, (no, there's no smell once the clothes are dry) and as scale remover. It's a good disinfectant too and it cleans stained aluminium. Put a bit in the water when you're washing windows and bling bling, their sparkling shiny and clean. Good for cutting through the muck on car windscreens too. Uhm... what else? :roll: Oh yeah, it's really, really cheap, non-toxic, pet- and child friendly, environmentally harmless and good for your health too. :) 10 Health Benefits of Vinegar Grandma knew that her old remedies worked even if she couldn't explain to the scientific world. She knew that diluting vinegar in the ear would help infections due to swimmer's ear. Now, the American Academy of Otolaryngology endorses this remedy. There's something to be said about how smart grandma was.

POPSBush Joins Pope in "Hall of Shame" It has always amazed me, that some people feel a need to single out other groups of people to be "the enemy" and to blame everything on. Intolerance is to be frowned upon. As with religion, there should be room enough for everyone. Some of my best friends are gay, or from other countries, or of different religions and colours and sexes, but is one friend better than the other? It still amazes me, that some people really believe so.

POPSSyphilis Making a Comeback One theory is that men who know they are HIV-positive have stopped using condoms Gay or not, HIV-positive or not, this is just reckless and frightening behaviour, I reckon. Syphilis is not a pretty disease! It can't make treating their HIV infection any easier either though, with the added pressure to their immune systems. Scary, that they even dare not protect themselves (and others!) .:eek:

POPSThe Plague Tracked in Denver Seen any dead squirrels lately? If you live near here, don't forget to protect your pets from flea bites too. Well, that goes without saying for where ever you live, of course.

POPSDisposable Truths of the Wounded Warrior Do YOU support the troops? Are you going to give a hand to the returning neighbour who needs it, or hold the hand of one of the wounded in hospital, or mentor a fatherless kid? How about next year? Or 5 years from now? Will you still be supporting the troops then? These people are paying the ultimate price, we have no idea. We owe it to them to NOT to forget them, in their hour of need. Regardless of disability benefits and what have you, everyone can do their share to truly support the troops and that means, also when they get home. (.... and I don't mean by just waving flags and reciting patriotic mantras all the time. Sorry, I couldn't help myself. *LOL*)

POPSPentagon Restarting Mass Vaccinations. Manipulating data? Forced vaccination programs? Rejecting science? Putting our own at risk? Naaaa, they wouldn't do that.. I mean, we DO trust the US government, right? Whoah! Was that a flying pig I just saw?!?
