Vaccination Recommendations
With the new H1N1 virus continuing to cause illness, hospitalizations and deaths in the US during the normally flu-free summer months and some uncertainty and about what the upcoming flu season might bring, CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices has taken an important step in preparations for a voluntary novel H1N1 vaccination effort to counter a possibly severe upcoming flu season. On July 29, ACIP met to consider who should receive novel H1N1 vaccine when it becomes available.

SWINE FLU HYPE, HYSTERIA AND THE FALSE HOPE OF A FLU VACCINE
By Dr. Zoltan P. Rona
By the time this article is published, a vaccine against the swine flu (the new H1N1 flu) will be broadly available and the mainstream media will be pushing hard to encourage one and all to get their annual flu shots. With the World Health Organization declaring a swine flu pandemic (Phase 6 Pandemic), a swine flu vaccine (Baxter Pharmaceuticals) has been fast-tracked and should be available to reap massive profits as early as July, 2009.
It should be noted that word “pandemic” merely refers to the fact that a new virus is spreading around the world but says nothing about its level of danger to one’s health. Although this vaccine has been untested, no safety evaluations will be performed on it due to the “urgency” of this pandemic situation. (http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2009/07/04/Warning-Swine-Flu-Vaccine-Coming-Soon.aspx)
Influenza, commonly known as “the flu” is a respiratory infection caused by a variety of viruses. Unlike the common cold, a respiratory infection also caused by viruses, the flu can cause fevers, headaches or extreme exhaustion. Body aches, especially in the muscles, joints and ligaments can be severe enough to force complete bed rest. Other flu symptoms are chills, a dry cough, body aches, stuffy nose and a sore throat. Secondary bacterial infections in young children, immune suppressed adults and the elderly can lead to pneumonias, septicemias and death. The flu, however, does not manifest itself equally in all people. In the majority of cases, symptoms are mild and a generally healthy individual usually recovers quickly.
First, let’s put things into perspective. The swine flu pandemic to date has been said to have claimed 322 lives worldwide (with 116 in Mexico) since early April. The regular (unswine or non-swine) flu has purportedly claimed 13,000 people in the U.S. since January 2009. How is it, then, that there is such hysterical panic about this killer swine flu? Where are all the dead bodies?

PREMENSTRUAL SYNDROME - PMS
Premenstrual syndrome, or PMS, is a group of symptoms that start one to two weeks before your period. Most women have at least some symptoms of PMS, and the symptoms go away after their periods start. For some women, the symptoms are severe enough to interfere with their lives. They have a type of PMS called premenstrual dysphoric disorder, or PMDD.
Common PMS symptoms include:
Breast swelling and tenderness
Acne
Bloating and weight gain
Pain - headache or joint pain
Food cravings
Irritability, mood swings, crying spells, depression
No one knows what causes PMS, but hormonal changes trigger the symptoms. No single PMS treatment works for everyone. Over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen, aspirin or naproxen may help ease cramps, headaches, backaches and breast tenderness. Avoiding salt, caffeine and alcohol, exercising and getting enough sleep can also help.

HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE
High blood pressure (HBP) is a serious condition that can lead to coronary heart disease, heart failure, stroke, kidney failure, and other health problems.
"Blood pressure" is the force of blood pushing against the walls of the arteries as the heart pumps out blood. If this pressure rises and stays high over time, it can damage the body in many ways.
Overview
About 1 in 3 adults in the United States has HBP. HBP itself usually has no symptoms. You can have it for years without knowing it. During this time, though, it can damage the heart, blood vessels, kidneys, and other parts of your body.
This is why knowing your blood pressure numbers is important, even when you're feeling fine. If your blood pressure is normal, you can work with your health care team to keep it that way. If your blood pressure is too high, you need treatment to prevent damage to your body's organs.
How Is High Blood Pressure Treated?
High blood pressure (HBP) is treated with lifestyle changes and medicines.
Ref: http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/dci/Diseases/Hbp/HBP_WhatIs.html
Natural Solutions/Remedies for High Blood Pressure
Lifestyle changes and natural remedies may help to control high blood pressure, but your doctor may also recommend medication to lower high blood pressure.
CO-Q PLUS - Co-enzyme Q10 (Co-Q10) is a Vitamin-like substance that is found in virtually all cells of the human body, thus earning Co-Q10 its other name, ubiquinone. Unlike vitamins, which by definition are not synthesized within the body, Co Q10 is synthesized in nearly every tissue of the body. It is also, in fact, not a vitamin at all but rather a co-enzyme - an organic molecule that activates a larger protein catalyst (an enzyme) that in turn facilitates a biological reaction without extinguishing itself within that reaction.
Vasotensin® - Natural Blood Pressure Support - Vasotensin provides peptides from bonito fish to support health blood pressure levels already in the normal range.
Bonito peptides have been shown to reduce the formation of angiotensin II—a potent vasoconstrictor—through their interaction of bonito peptides with angiotensin converting enzyme.♦
Fast-acting formula designed to provide a clinically effective dose in just 2 tablets twice daily.
Assayed to assure product viability and the presence of LKPNM—a peptide found to produce eight-fold higher activity when hydrolyzed by angiotensin converting enzyme as occurs in the body.
Testing for LKPNM assures optimal efficacy to help maintain blood pressure already within the normal range.♦
No rebound (reverse) effect observed in human clinical trials when supplementation is discontinued.
Excellent safety profile—no serious adverse effects associated with bonito peptides have been reported.
May be used as a complement to other heart support programs:♦
— Prescription drugs— Medical foods— Dietary supplements

DIABETES
More than two million Canadians have diabetes. There are three main types of diabetes. Type 1 diabetes, usually diagnosed in children and adolescents, occurs when the pancreas is unable to produce insulin. Insulin is a hormone that ensures body energy needs are met. Approximately 10 per cent of people with diabetes have type 1 diabetes.
The remaining 90 per cent have type 2 diabetes, which occurs when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or when the body does not effectively use the insulin that is produced. Type 2 diabetes usually develops in adulthood, although increasing numbers of children in high-risk populations are being diagnosed.
A third type of diabetes, gestational diabetes, is a temporary condition that occurs during pregnancy. It affects approximately 3.7 per cent of all pregnancies (in the non-Aboriginal population) and 8 - 18 per cent of all pregnancies (in the Aboriginal population), and involves an increased risk of developing diabetes for both mother and child.
Can you prevent diabetes?
Scientists believe that lifestyle changes can help prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes. A healthy meal plan, weight control and physical activity are important prevention steps.
How is diabetes treated?
People with diabetes can expect to live active, independent and vital lives if they make a lifelong commitment to careful diabetes management, which includes the following:
Education: Diabetes education is an important first step. All people with diabetes need to be informed about their condition.
Physical Activity: Regular physical activity helps your body lower blood glucose levels, promotes weight loss, reduces stress and enhances overall fitness.
Nutrition: What, when and how much you eat all play an important role in regulating blood glucose levels.
Weight Management: Maintaining a healthy weight is especially important in the management of type 2 diabetes.
Medication: Type 1 diabetes is always treated with insulin. Type 2 diabetes is managed through physical activity and meal planning and may require medications and/or insulin to assist your body in making or using insulin more effectively.
Lifestyle Management: Learning to reduce stress levels in day-to-day life can help people with diabetes better manage their disease.
Blood Pressure: High blood pressure can lead to eye disease, heart disease, stroke and kidney disease, so people with diabetes should try to maintain a blood pressure level at or below 130/80. To do this, you may need to change your eating and physical activity habits and/or take medication.

CANCER
Canadian Cancer Society is leading the way in cancer control to actively prevent, cure or manage cancer. The Canadian Cancer Society takes the role as steward of donor dollars very seriously and makes every effort to allocate these dollars where they will make the most difference in making cancer history. In working to control cancer, we focus our work in 5 areas:

CANCER is RUST:
When metal is exposed to water and oxygen, it slowly
starts to change. The iron is corroded and transformed from
metallic iron to iron oxide. The rust replaces the "healthy"
metallic iron and eats away at the metal, weakening its
structure. Paint, oil and protective coatings are all effective
ways to guard metal against corrosion, but rusting occurs if
the paint is damaged, if the oil dissipates or if the finish is
scratched - exposing the metal to oxidants. Corrosives can
also encourage rust formation, salt being a good example.
Just like rusting metal, which
needs to be exposed to water and
oxygen, cancer has several
developmental stages:
Initiation - the exposure of a cell to a
carcinogen
Promotion - the uncontrolled cellular
proliferation of cancer cells
Progression - the continuing growth and
spread of cancer throughout the body

ALLERGIES
Allergy Prevention - The ultimate goal of allergy treatment is preventing the symptoms from occurring in the first place. This usually includes learning how to avoid the allergen, whether it be pets, foods, insects or even certain chemicals. Preventing the development of allergies, asthma and food allergies in young children also is possible.
Prevention of Allergies, Asthma and Food Allergies in ChildrenThe goal of any family prone to allergies is to prevent the development of allergies in their child. Various strategies have been shown to reduce the development of allergies and asthma, as well as to prevent or delay the onset of food allergies in children.

VITAMIN D and CANCER PREVENTION
Vitamin D casts cancer prevention in new light . A four-year clinical trial involving 1,200 women found those taking the vitamin had about a 60-per-cent reduction in cancer incidence, compared with those who didn't take it, a drop so large — twice the impact on cancer attributed to smoking — it almost looks like a typographical error. One of the researchers who made the discovery, professor of medicine Robert Heaney of Creighton University in Nebraska, says vitamin D deficiency is showing up in so many illnesses besides cancer that nearly all disease figures in Canada and the U.S. will need to be re-evaluated. "We don't really know what the status of chronic disease is in the North American population," he said, "until we normalize vitamin D status."

VITAMIN D BENEFITS
Are you getting enough vitamin D? THE SUNSHINE VITAMIN Most of the vitamin D circulating in our bodies is made in our skin, when it is exposed to ultraviolet light.
Whites can make about 10,000 International Units after about 10 minutes to 15 minutes in a bathing suit around noon in summer. Those with darker skin need up to six times longer to make the same amount because their higher levels of melanin act like a natural sunscreen.
Those with low levels can easily correct the problem by taking supplements. Most multivitamins contain 400 IU, but vitamin D pills have up to 1,000 IU. Vitamin D insufficiency used to be thought of as a problem causing only rickets, but in recent years, researchers have found that low levels of the nutrient are linked to a disparate range of diseases and health problems, including many types of cancer, osteoporosis, mult-iple sclerosis, diabetes and susceptibility to tuberculosis and influenza.
