Something To Think About
============================

Is This For real? I'm afraid the answer is yes!

On December 23, 2003, beef producers were blindsided by the discovery of a case of mad cow disease in the U.S. And Creekstone Farms in Arkansas City, Kansas, was particularly hard hit.

Creekstone is a high-end beef processor. For years, this large, modern operation has produced high quality beef that's guaranteed free of antibiotics, growth-promoting drugs, and added hormones. By and large, Creekstone beef is a long step up from the typical beef product most consumers purchase at their local grocery.

With the 2003 mad cow scare, Creekstone's business dropped off sharply, primarily due to loss of foreign sales. But Japanese meat buyers promised to start buying again if Creekstone executives could assure them that all their beef was tested for BSE.

This was a no-brainer. According to a 2004 New York Times report, Creekstone's foreign sales accounted for $200,000 per day, while the total bill for testing the animals ran about $20,000 per day. So Creekstone started testing each animal, reopening the Japanese market.

Enter the USDA - to the rescue!

In April 2004, the agency ordered Creekstone executives to stop testing their cattle, reasoning that there was no scientific justification for testing the relatively young animals that Creekstone raises. And that's a valid point. Only older cattle develop BSE. But that detail didn't matter to Creekstone's Japanese customers - they wanted guarantees that the animals were disease-free. So...what's the harm in testing?

And that question brings us to tortured logic item number one: According to the Associated Press, the major meatpacking companies feared that consumer pressure might lead to a demand for every meat producing company to test all their animals.

And wouldn't that be just too...safe?

I'll bet the ranch that "consumer pressure" doesn't mean you and me - it means Japan and other very lucrative foreign markets. And here was Creekstone, raising the bar on their highfalutin no-antibiotic, no-added-hormone beef, just further messing up business for ConAgra and Cargill and other meatpacking giants, dagnabbit!

So Creekstone execs did what they had to do ? they sued the USDA. And they won. And what did USDA officials do? They just couldn't help themselves - they appealed, further delaying Creekstone's right to test.

Which brings us to a fine spring Friday afternoon in May 2008, when Creekstone attorneys and Justice Department attorneys appeared before a panel of U.S. Court of Appeals judges in Washington, D.C.

Creekstone lawyers argued that the company is not disobeying any law or regulation by testing their animals. Nice point.

And now for tortured logic item number two: The Justice Department attorney told the panel that Creekstone executives "want to create false assurances."

Seriously - how do you make a statement like that without laughing? As if more testing creates false assurances, and less testing is somehow reassuring.

You want false assurances? Here's a Grade A, USDA-inspected false assurance for you: The USDA used to test about one percent of all U.S. cattle for BSE. But earlier this month the Korea Times reported that the testing program has been reduced by 90 percent! And to absolutely assure that these testing levels stay low, the agency also blocks companies that produce BSE testing kits from selling their kits to Creekstone and other meat processors.

Why in the world is the USDA so doggedly committed to allowing as little BSE testing as possible? Connecting two simple dots might answer that question. Dot one: The National Cattlemen's Beef Association (representing about 27,000 ranchers) strongly supports the agency's Creekstone ban. Dot two: The agriculture lobby is one of the most diverse and powerful players inside the Washington Beltway.

Money + power = influence, and logic takes a holiday.

A Commonly Overlooked Health Problem

 A very common, but mostly overlooked problem, is the "yeast syndrome” the problem arises predominantly as a side effect from the use of commonly prescribed antibiotics and not only antibiotics but also birth control pills, and corticosteroids (Ibuprofen type drugs). Most traditional pharmaceutical oriented doctors won’t even recognize the “yeast syndrome” exists. Some doctors have classified it as a designer diagnosis simply because they have not been taught how to detect it or treat it.

The yeast problem thus occurs at two levels—the localized infections, of which skin rashes and vaginitis are the most common (intestinal overgrowth is also common), and the secondary and more serious systemic reaction.

Systemic problem can then produce such symptoms as recurrent skin fungus infections. Examples being; ringworm, athlete’s foot, jock itch, nail problems; headaches; fatigue; cystitis or prostatitis. Mental symptoms such as mood swings, poor memory or concentration, depression, or confusion. Premenstrual symptoms, recurrent herpes infection, joint pains, cravings for sweets, bread, or alcohol, Indigestion or food reactions, and sensitivity to molds, dampness, environmental pollution, cigarettes, and various smells. The majority of doctors will not recognize this problem!

If you recognize any of these symptoms and have had any of the drugs listed above within past years, you could very well house the “Yeast syndrome” or “Candida Albicans” another common term given it…. Chronic recurring vaginitis is a very common problem arising from a yeast infection, which is effectively treatable with alternative treatments.

One of the running jokes in the office is that the FDA's nutrient "enrichment" programs are just like federal tax returns: They take away a lot, waste most of it, give you back a tiny bit, and you're supposed to be happy about it.

 TODAY'S HEALTH TIP
~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^

Brain Slipping? Maybe premature senility isn't what's making you more forgetful these days.

Might not even be a normal aging occurrence or an illness but a drug you have or are taking.... Dr. Jack Tsao, a neurologist from Uniformed Services University in Bethesda led the study that found that "being on ulcer medication, motion sickness medication, etc. known as anticholernergic drugs worsen your cognitive performance." The research focused on the effect of medications on patients whose average age was 75. The study concluded that medications used to treat bladder problems and Parkinson's Disease seemed to have the most degenerative effect on memory.

It's an unnerving discovery given the fact that those who are up in years are often prescribed so many different medications. The drugs that appear to hasten memory loss and hinder thinking skills work by blocking the binding of a brain chemical called acetylcholine to its receptor nerve cells.

Gut superbug causing more illnesses, deaths
May 28, 2008
By MIKE STOBBE

ATLANTA (AP) - The number of people hospitalized with a dangerous intestinal superbug has been growing by more than 10,000 cases a year, according to a new study.

The germ, resistant to some antibiotics, has become a regular menace in hospitals and nursing homes. The study found it played a role in nearly 300,000 hospitalizations in 2005, more than double the number in 2000.

The infection, Clostridium difficile, is found in the colon and can cause diarrhea and a more serious intestinal condition known as colitis. It is spread by spores in feces. But the spores are difficult to kill with most conventional household cleaners or antibacterial soap.

C-diff, as it's known, has grown resistant to certain antibiotics that work against other colon bacteria. The result: When patients take those antibiotics, competing bacteria die off and C-diff explodes.
 
This virulent strain of C-diff was rarely seen before 2000.

"The nature of this infection is changing. It's more severe," said Dr. L. Clifford McDonald, a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention expert who was not part of the study.

There are other factors that play into the rise of C-diff cases as well, including a larger of number of patients who are older and sicker. "And there may be some overuse and inappropriate use of antibiotics," said Dr. Marya Zilberberg, a University of Massachusetts researcher and lead author of the study.

The Zilberberg study was based on a sample of more than 36 million annual discharges from non-governmental U.S. hospitals. That data was used to generate the study's national estimates.

The research is being published in the June issue of Emerging Infectious Diseases, a CDC publication.

Using other scientists' estimates, the study concluded that 2.3 percent of the cases in 2004 were fatal - about 5,500 deaths. That was nearly double the percentage of C-diff-related cases that ended in death in 2000.

Many of the people who died had other health problems. The study did not try to determine if Clostridium difficile was the main cause of death in each case, Zilberberg said.

But earlier research concluded the infection is the underlying cause of thousands of deaths annually, and the problem is getting worse.

C-diff has become an acute health concern in Canada, where it was blamed for 260 deaths at seven Ontario hospitals recently, and 2,000 deaths in Quebec since 2002.

The Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology is currently working with U.S. hospitals to study prevalence of the infection and what infection control measures seem to work best.

"This is not a time for alarm, but more a time for educating health professionals to understand this particular pathogen," said Kathy Warye, chief executive of the Washington, D.C.-based association.

SEAS OFF WEST COAST VERY ACIDIC, STUDY WARNS

Expert: Warming threat to sea life wasn't expected for at least 50 years
By the Associated Press

Waters along North America's Pacific coast are becoming more acidic, posing a threat to marine life, federal scientists Reported Friday-- adding that while that fits global warming scenarios, no one had expected the acidification to happen so soon.

"We did not expect to see this extent of ocean acidification until the middle to the end of the century," said study co-author Chris Sabine.

"Our results show for the first time that a large section of the North American continental shelf is impacted by ocean acidification," the experts wrote in the study published in the peer-reviewed journal Science.

Acidification describes the process, natural or manmade, of ocean water becoming corrosive as a result of carbon dioxide being absorbed from the atmosphere.

The researchers said anthropogenic, or manmade, emissions of carbon dioxide are likely to blame since the acidified water that is being "upwelled" seasonally from the deeper ocean is from the last 50 years, a period when the burning of fossil fuels raised CO2 levels dramatically.

"Other continental shelf regions may also be impacted where anthropogenic CO2-enriched water is being upwelled onto the shelf," they concluded.

Threat 'right now'

"Ocean acidification may be seriously impacting marine life on our continental shelf right now," study co-author Richard Feely said in a statement released by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which co-sponsored the study along with NASA and the National Science Foundation.

Feely, a NOAA oceanographer, noted that while the ability of oceans to absorb carbon dioxide helps mitigate warming, "the change in the ocean chemistry affects marine life, particularly organisms with calcium carbonate shells, such as corals, mussels, mollusks, and small creatures in the early stages of the food chain."

NOAA echoed the experts' findings. "Acidification of the Earth's ocean water could have far-reaching impacts on the health of our near-shore environment, and on the sustainability of ecosystems that support human populations," said NOAA assistant administrator Richard Spinrad.

"This research is vital to understanding the processes within the ocean, as well as the consequences of a carbon-rich atmosphere," he added.

The team compiled data from 13 survey lines dropped last summer and stretching from the waters of central Canada to northern Mexico. They measured pH levels in seawater to detect  acidification, and found lower levels were much closer to the surface than researchers had predicted.

Previous studies found acidification at deeper depths farther from shore. The researchers said the acidified water appears to well up in spring and summer, when winds bring CO2-rich water up from depths of about 400-600 feet onto the continental shelf.

'Train has left the station'

"The water that will upwell off the coast in future years already is making its undersea trek toward us, with ever-increasing levels of carbon dioxide and acidity," co-author Burke Hales, an associate professor at Oregon State University, warned in a statement.

"The coastal ocean acidification train has left the station," Hales added, "and there is not much we can do to derail it."

Hales also cited a strong correlation between recent low-oxygen events off the Northwest coast and increasing acidification.

"The hypoxia is caused by persistent upwelling that produces an over-abundance of phytoplankton," Hales said. "When the system works, the upwelling winds subside for a day or two every couple of weeks in what we call a 'relaxation event' that allows that buildup of decomposing organic matter to be washed out to the deep ocean."

"But in recent years, especially in 2002 and 2006, there were few if any of these relaxation breaks in the upwelling and the phytoplankton blooms were enormous," Hales said. "When the material produced by these blooms decomposes, it puts more CO2 into the system and increases the acidification."
