POPSSEIU Needs Socialized Medicine To Stoke Its Underfunded Pensions 
and union employees at the expense of the rank-and-file. To regain some semblance of fiscal stability, the SEIU has wagered heavily on forcing other employees to help fund its drying pension reserves. That was the motivation behind the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA) ("Card Check"), a major Democrat initiative for 2009, and one on which the SEIU spent tens of millions of its members' money. Since Card Check is in serious trouble with lawmakers, state-run health care would be a suitable alternative. • The public option could force hospital and other health care workers into underfunded pensions, putting their retirements at risk • The average union pension has resources to cover only 62% of what is owed to participants • Less than one in every 160 union-represented workers is covered by a union pension with required assets • The PBGC already supports upwards of 30,000 pension plans • Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation (PBGC), the governmental pension insurer,

POPSOregano oil eliminates parasites in humans "In one study, 77 percent of patients treated for enteric parasites were parasite free after taking oil of oregano in tablet form for six weeks. At this writing, it has inhibited the growth of at least ten different microbes, including Candida albicans (yeast). To top it off, oregano - like its relative rosemary - contains the powerful compound rosmarinic acid, which has been found to have anti-mutagenic and anti-carcinogenic properties. "

POPSAlternative Medicine's Limitations 尤有甚者,最近還有一些中醫以攻擊代替防守,指責現代醫學裡施打疫苗、切除病灶、移植器官、化療以及洗腎等,都是錯誤的作法;我以為那是不負責任的說法,更可謂得了便宜還賣乖。中醫號稱專治疑難雜症,甚至有人揚言世間無不治之症,那是因為西醫已經解決了許多常見疾病,剩下未能根治的棘手病症,也就讓中醫(以及任何江湖郎中)有可乘之機,反正大家都治不好,就各憑運氣了。 「中醫科學化」的口號喊了已有好幾十年,成效卻不彰,關鍵在於中醫的理論無法驗證;就連經脈穴位,也沒有解剖構造上的對應。即便如此,中醫也不敢放棄固有理論,因為沒有理論,所有的診斷處方也就沒了根據,這是中醫無法科學化的困境。至於中藥的療效,又是另外一個問題了。 (作者為生理學教授,科普作家)http://news.chinatimes.com/2007Cti/2007Cti-News/2007Cti-News-Content/0,4521,11051401+112009101400420,00.html#comment 中醫的限制不單是外科手術 中醫既然強調全人總而觀之 因此無法發展出精神科 全人觀固然在調理體質上達成若干實效 但流於竉統抽象 無法像西方由哲學延伸出心理學 以及精神醫學 即靠解析出人心智與身體生理運作各自分工背後的機制 如此分析研究方法才能各自精通結構與功能之間錯綜複雜的關係 * 留言: * To be fair (submitted by me) * 2009-10-16 02:07:52 檢舉 你的意思是說心理或精神上的疾病所造成的身體疾病嗎?不知是否有病例或相關資料可以看,我想看看這方面的資料。謝謝! * 留言: * masako * 2009-10-16 11:18:24

POPSAnother alternative for a cure......for CANCER perhaps? Dr. Mercola's Comments: Cancer, which surpassed heart disease as the number one killer in America in 2005, is still considered “a mystery” in conventional medicine. In fact, the term “cancer” is just a generic term that in no way describes its cause. In this video, Doug Kaufman – a longtime proponent of the influence of fungi in human disease -- interviews the Italian oncologist Dr. Tullio Simoncini -- author of Cancer is a Fungus -- who shares fascinating new information about what he believes is the root of all cancers: fungi, and discusses a radically different path for curing cancer; sometimes in as little as a few days.

POPSAloe Vera ~ Awesome Potentials & Safety precautions
from an Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center article: Scientific Name Aloe barbadensis, Aloe capensis Common Name Aloe gel, aloe leaf Clinical Summary Aloe vera is a tropical plant used in traditional medicine throughout the world. It has been studied for its ability to relieve constipation, treat burns, heal wounds, treat psoriasis, frostbite, ulcerative colitis and diabetes. Recent studies suggest that some components of aloe, such as acemannan, aloeride, and di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) may have immunomodulating and anticancer effects. Emodin, an extract of aloe vera, inhibited cell proliferation and induced apoptosis in human liver cancer cell lines through p53- and p21-dependent pathways. Aloe is also thought to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Concurrent administration of aloe with chemotherapy was reported to benefit patients with metastatic cancers. More research is needed. Data on external use of aloe products to alleviate radiation-induced s
