+++++++++++++++++++++ Greetings and thank you for being an optin subscriber and hopefully this ezine will inspire you to be a health advocate! If you no longer wish to subscribe scroll to bottom of ezine to unsubscribe... Such an exhausting trip we made so forgive me if you find errors as my body says it needs rest and I'm pushing it today... Well today is Cinco de Mayo here in the U.S. Not Mexican Independence as some would have you believe... Having just returned from Mexico I can tell you that they don't even think about it in the areas we visited. Seems to me this so-called holiday is something started by business to capitalize on selling... For me it's the anniversary of the day I quite smoking 32 years ago nothing more... That said I would like to wish you a healthy and prosperous week! Last week to be able to get the Master Formulas before $1 each price increase: As of May 12th our Master Formulas will increase by $1 each due to 3 postage increases that we can no longer absorb. Example of the postage increase: 2 oz letter is now .67 but as of May 12th will increase to $1, at this time I do not have the Priority Shipping increase, which is how we send out our products, but I suspect it will also be substantially more than that. We simply can no longer afford to absorb all three increases. Our $1 increase per product will help... In advance of the groans I must say Thank You for your patience... If you are smart and need product order before May 11th... Question or comment (good or not

Sadly not stated by NCI is the fact that people wait until AFTER their health is in jeopardy before they explore the healing potential of nutrients, which takes longer to heal and in some instances impossible to health rather than using for prevention before reaching that stage. While vitamins, minerals, herbs, and other supplements can have amazing disease- fighting effects, most natural medicine physicians agree that their preventative benefits are far more important. And taking advantage of those benefits may very well keep you from ever needing to discover how well they can fight serious illness.

Artificial Blood Deemed
Deadly
April 30, 2008 (Ivanhoe Newswire) -- Hemoglobin-based blood substitutes (HBBSs), or artificial blood, may put patients at risk for heart attack or even death, a new study reveals. The development of blood substitutes may help save the lives of surgical and trauma patients in shock from blood loss and could be especially useful for rural or military areas. The liquids have a long shelf-life without requiring refrigeration and they don't cause infection; but a recent analysis of 16 randomized controlled trials shows a dangerous association between these products and surgical, trauma and stroke patients. The trials revealed patients who received HBBSs had a 30 percent increased risk of death and 2.7 times increased risk of heart attack. ?To date, a large proportion of blood substitutes in development have been hemoglobin-based products [hemoglobin is the oxygen-carrying protein in the red blood cells],? study authors write. ?Yet randomized controlled trials completed as early as 1996 have raised questions about the safety of these products and have failed to demonstrate clinical benefit.? After trials are completed, study sponsors must report their results to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), but researchers say the FDA only makes data available to the public if the product is approved or if an advisory committee is assembled to discuss the product. ?The cumulative mortality analysis ? indicates that prompt meta-analyses of the HBBS trials by the FDA most likely would have demonstrated significant risks by 2000. Had the agency placed a moratorium on trials at that point, product-related deaths and [heart attacks] in subsequent trials most likely would have been prevented. However, such data were not available to scientists, the public, institutional review boards, or competing HBBS manufacturers,? the authors write. SOURCE: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 2008;299 LENA'S COMMENT: Simply FYI! I was not able to ascertain who is behind this really behind this release and those studies, therefore, I look at it with skepticism until that is defined. But I feel a warning should be issued just in case it's truly and danger and not a form of prejudice against it. I also feel that the side effect from the artificial blood product can be combated if the person who received the blood substitute undergoes chelation IV therapy within the year following receipt of the transfusion of a blood substitute...

Synergistic effects of
pesticides and parasitic fungi and worsening decline of
honeybees
The decline of the honeybee attracted worldwide attention in 2007. Investigations carried out by the Institute of Science in Society implicated a synergistic interaction between the recent widespread use of new pesticides (including Bt toxin from GM crops) and fungal infections [1, 2] (Parasitic Fungus and Honeybee Decline , Parasitic Fungi and Pesticides Act Synergistically to Kill Honeybees?, SiS 35). Sub-lethal levels of neonicotinoid pesticides act synergistically with parasitic fungi in killing insects pests. Fungal spores, widely used as biocontrol agents are applied in sprays and baits, and when delivered in suspension with sub-lethal levels of pesticides are much more effective in killing insects. Equally, Bt biopesticides enhance the killing power of parasitic fungi synergistically. That information was transmitted through a written question to the European Parliament [3]. Last year's decline was serious enough and described as "beepocalypse now" by a news report [4]. According to the US Department of Agriculture one mouthful in three of the foods we eat directly or indirectly depend on pollination by honeybees [5]. Most fruit and many vegetables would disappear from our diet along with an immediate shortage of meat due to the loss of forage. This winters? bee loss was 34 percent, up from the 25 percent the previous year [6]. The decline is attributed to ?Colony Collapse Disorder? (CCD), most likely to be multi-factorial. The main suspects include pesticides, parasites, viruses, radiation from cell phone transmitters [7-9] (Mystery of Disappearing Honeybees, Requiem for the Honeybee, Mobile Phones and Vanishing Bees, SiS 34) and even brood temperature [10]. The impact of sub-lethal levels of pesticides on the immune system of the bee leads to synergistic infection of the bees by fungal parasites. In addition, the behaviour of the bees is frequently modified leading to confusion in foraging and failure to return to the hive. Organic farming practices that retain more natural habitats and avoid the use of chemical pesticides should provide environments that serve as honeybee sanctuaries from the ravages of CCD. There are scientific studies showing that agricultural landscapes with organic crops are far superior environments for both honey- and bumblebees [11, 12]. It would be prudent to create organic bee sanctuaries as widely and as soon as possible. Fungal infections more deadly with increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere With regard to the fungal parasites, it was recently shown that the prominent fungal parasite Nosema ceranea has been a longstanding and widespread infection of honeybees in the United States [13]. Nosema ceranae was detected also in Canada [14]. Spores of a related parasite, Nosema apis, was found to respond to increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by enhanced germination, resulting in higher mortality of infected bees [15]. Will global warming result in the honeybee losing its struggle with fungal parasites? Sub-lethal effects are the silent killers The sub-lethal effects of insecticides go beyond the synergistic effect of insecticides on the immune system, as they may also affect learning and foraging competence of the honeybee, A recent study from France showed that bees fed sub-lethal levels of Bacillus thuingiensis Cry1Ab protein (a toxin in MON810 maize) affect food consumption and or learning processes leading to disturbed foraging [16]. The neonicotinoid pesticides that also affect bees in similar ways [2] are used extensively as systemic insecticides, and frequently originate from seed treatment. One member of that group, Imidacloprid, was tested extensively, leading to its ban in France, Another of the neonicotinoid pesticide, Acetamiprid, was found to impair olfactory learning in the honeybee while the pesticide Thiamethoxam did not appear to effect bee behaviour [17]. The regulation of insecticides should definitely be extended to include sub-lethal behavioural impairment of the honeybees, and those insecticides having such an effect should be banned immediately. A risk assessment to honeybees was developed in France for non-sprayed (seed treatment) systemic chemicals [18], though predictably industry representatives argued that field test data should override trials on sub-lethal effects [19]. Along those lines, industry and its associated academics selected and reviewed 25 laboratory studies showing that Bt toxins including Cry1Ab have no adverse effects on honeybees [20], but the only adverse outcome considered was mortality directly due to the pesticide, excluding learning impairments that could also result in the bees dying. Unfortunately, regulatory agencies appear to be similarly impaired when it comes to recognizing evidence related to sub-lethal impairment of the bees. Organic agriculture must be widely adopted to save the honeybee In conclusion, sub-lethal levels of pesticides, including the Bt biopesticides produced in genetically modified (GM) crops covering some 30 percent of the global area, disorientate the bees, making them behave abnormally, and compromise their immunity to infections. Regulators have allowed the widespread deployment of systemic neonicotinoid pesticides based on assessments of lethal dose in bees of the pesticides alone, ignoring clear evidence that sub-lethal pesticide levels act synergistically with fungal parasites in killing insects. The honeybees may well be succumbing to such synergistic effects. There is every reason to eliminate the use of all pesticides that act synergistically with parasitic fungi, and all Bt crops should be banned for the same reason. Obviously, these problems will disappear with the widespread adoption of organic, non-GM farming.
