Your fingernail may provide a peek into the status of your health. Any nail changes or abnormalities are often the result of nutritional deficiencies or can reveal specific health conditions. Hippocrates, also believed and taught (400 B.C.E) that the nails can reflect the condition of the inner health. The symptoms listed below may possibly signal the health problems listed. This list does not provide-a definite diagnoses. But if you notice any of these symptoms, let your doctor know. Take a few moments and examine your unpolished fingernails under a good light.

HOW TO GET OFF OF ACID BLOCKERS -- NATURALLY Looking at commercials, you would think that we are suffering from an epidemic of excess stomach acid. This is not the case. What is actually occurring is poor digestion, in large part because the enzymes needed to digest your food have been removed from the food during food processing. This is done because these enzymes help ripen the food and destroying them increase the shelf life. For example, an ear of corn may have a shelf life of five days where cornflakes have a shelf life of five millennia. Unfortunately, the latter are very hard to digest -- even though they may look good. Destruction of the enzymes in the food is now the case with most of the food we eat. When the food is hard to digest, it results in acid reflux and any acid in the stomach hurts. Prescription antacids decrease the pain but further worsen digestion and health. If you think about it, your body makes stomach acid for a reason. It is okay to turn it off short-term... See less

On 11-2-07, the FDA solicited public comments on proposed rulemaking to set new reference values of the percent of fluoride's daily value for specific foods. These daily values (DV) will be used on food nutriition labels that are oriented to the consumer. FDA states in the proposed rulemaking: “As can be seen from [table 11b] of this document, the population-coverage and population-weighted AIs [Adequate Intake] for fluoride... exceed the UL [Tolerable Upper Intake Level] for children 4 to 8 years.” Submit Comments Online (Mac users must use Safari browser to enter comments).

Sir Richard Doll was a British cancer specialist who died last year. He was noted for making the connection between smoking and lung cancer. But for years,20 he was being paid as a consultant by Monsanto, a fact not revealed in his reports. Sir Richard Doll told a commission investigating Monsanto's Agent Orange that there was no evidence that the chemical increased risks of cancer and genetic defects. He did not mention that he was being paid $1,500 a day by Monsanto at the time. Monsanto has used similar paid shills and other techniques to propagandize the safety of genetically modified food, aspartame, and other products, including wrecking the careers of scientists who discover problems with their products. When Dr. Arpad Pusztai conducted studies showing that rats fed on certain GM potatoes had suffered stunted growth and damage to the immune system, liver, and heart, he was suspended from his job, ordered to hand over all his data, and threatened with legal action if he spoke to...

While prescription drug prices skyrocket, drug companies throw up barriers to the approval of generic equivalents. According to a recent Consumer Reports investigation, approval of generics for just a handful of blockbuster drugs would save Americans $49 billion by 2010. But the Food and Drug Administration can't get the generics approved--and currently has a backlog of about 800 generic drug applications. Read Jim Guest's commentary! The problem? Drug companies often file frivolous "citizen petitions" to challenge generic drug approval, or they pay generic manufacturers to stay out of the market altogether. The backlog of approvals at the FDA has reached emergency proportions, as millions of Americans await affordable alternatives to high priced drug treatments. Tell your Senators and House member--close the loopholes that allow drug companies to game the system. We deserve access to safe and effective generic drugs! With your help right now, we can reform the generic drug approval... See less

So I've been thinking about switching to raw milk, but I haven't convinced myself enough to make the 25 min drive to the dairy that is closest to us. (I wouldn't have to do that drive every week - luckily there are two or three other women in my neighborhood who do raw milk, and we could take turns picking it up.) One of my remaining concerns is just about the whole milk part of it. I've been drinking 1% for a long time. I've lost a lot of weight since my second baby was born because I cut out sugar. I've been really enjoying my new body. Has anyone gained weight switching to raw (whole) milk? Anyone made the switch and not gained any weight? Not that weight is the end all, I just want to know if I'll have to be careful or cut back on my portions if I make the switch. Maybe raw milk is so filling that you can have less of it and not even notice that you're having less? Thanks, Aven | __________________ Avendesora, DD born 6/21/04 DS born 12/13/05 See less

IT ARRIVED VIA FEDEX IN A BOX MARKED "PERISHABLE." Inside, packed in Styrofoam and dry ice, I found a one-gallon plastic jug. There was no label or price, no brand name or expiration date -- just a four-letter word scrawled in black marker across the side: Milk. The milk itself cost $6, considerably more than the $3.39 I pay at the grocery. There was an additional charge of $2.50 for gel packs to hold the jug in place. Plus $9 for the Styrofoam cooler. Plus $10 for the dry ice. Add in shipping, and the total came to $45.24. For one gallon of milk. See less

Highlights: But this wasn't just any milk. This was raw, straight-from-the-cow, the real stuff. It hadn't been pasteurized, homogenized or otherwise altered. In Maryland, where I live, as in most other states, you can't walk into a store and buy raw milk. That's because, while possession of raw milk...

The Hospital Survey and Construction Act, also known as the Hill-Burton Act, is a United States federal law passed in 1946. This act responded to the first of Truman’s proposals and was designed to provide federal grants and guaranteed loans to improve the physical plant of the nation’s hospital system. Money was designated to the states to achieve 4.5 beds per 1,000 people. The states allocated the available money to their various municipalities, but the law provided for a rotation mechanism, so that an area that received funding moved to the bottom of the list for further funding. As is always the case, these federal dollars came with strings attached. Facilities that received Hill-Burton funding had to adhere to several requirements. They were not allowed to discriminate based on race, color, national origin, or creed – except for the proviso that allowed for discrimination so long as separate, equal facilities were located in the same area. The U.S. Supreme Court struck down this... See less
