Now I sort of know a little more about why I chose green for my background color.

- Washington Times - Drugmaker ads to target Obama idea
- Nov 15, 3:51pm (6 reviews) health, politics http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2008...
- "The nation's largest pharmaceutical lobbying group is preparing a multimillion-dollar public relations campaign to tout the importance of free-market health care and undercut an expected push by the Obama administration for price controls of prescription drugs.
The effort, which will include a national television commercial scheduled to begin airing next week, is the first salvo in what likely will be a huge battle over health care reform during the Obama presidency.
Other major industries are also gearing up for the fight, including big businesses and insurance companies. But the stakes are especially high for drug makers, which stand to lose as much as $30 billion in revenue if President-elect Barack Obama's plan to let the federal government negotiate Medicare drug prices is implemented, according to one independent report."
These people are not for "We the People"; they are for "how much profit can we make off these sick people?"
Like nicky187 said, the Domestic Enemies are ramping up. This is only the first salvo. Support your President-Elect.
Here is a link to a list of the 50 largest pharmaceutical and biotech companies ranked by healthcare revenue.
- Homemade Baby Food for Families on a Budget | Homemade Baby Food from...

- "Homemade baby food for families on a budget"....
Our kids always ate what we ate - so I had a bunch of snarky remarks lined up in review of this blog. Then I realized that, now that my kids are grown with little ones of their own, I don't really want my grandchildren eating what my grown kids eat - which is generally stuff grabbed from food joints on their way home from work (everyone has to work these days, no more stay-at-home-moms, can't afford it).
So in actuality this blog has good advice. Very good advice. Sadly, I can't see either of my daughters-in-law (or my sons) going to this 'extreme' to make healthy baby food.
So I do it. BTW, an immersion blender works great!

- "Apples (and red onions, broccoli, and tea) are great sources of quercetin -- a flavonoid that may stave off the influenza virus when the body is under stress. In a recent animal study, quercetin did just that: The normal dip in immunity that comes with physical fatigue was pretty much cancelled out by the flavonoid. If it works as well in humans, quercetin could help power the body through both physical and psychological stress."

- Protect yourself this winter (and always) ~~~~~
From the page: "Make sure that you get plenty of sunshine over the winter research continually indicates that the winter flu is often a result of vitamin D deficiency from lack of sun. If you live in a place without sunshine, take cod liver oil, find a place that offers sunshowers (natural tanning beds), and if it is sunny go outside as much as you possibly can no matter how cold it is. Raw, unpasteurized milk is another vitamin D abundant food.
Exercise, exercise, exercise! When you get out and get your body moving, you are much less likely to get sick. Yoga, for example is a fabulous way to get fit, relieve stress and boost the immune system.
Eat plenty of immune boosting foods such as garlic, vitamin C containing fruits and fresh green juices (broccoli, cabbage, cucumber and celery.) A diet rich in live foods is a sure way to stay healthy all year long.
Cut out sugar. Sugar suppresses the immune system and causes disease. Today there are so many wonderful healthy alternatives such as agave nectar and xylitol that it is totally unnecessary to ever consume sugar.
Deal with emotional stress. Anger and stress suppress the immune system. Yoga, meditation, counseling, natural therapies and plant medicines can transform stress and help you live with abundant health in mind and body.
Get plenty of sleep. A lack of sleep suppresses the immune system, but is a reality for millions of people. Find ways to make life less hectic so that you have more time to catch those zzzzs."
ME: Wash your hands on a regular basis. This one simple thing can help save you from catching - or spreading - colds and flu.
- FDA: 2 Bayer Aspirin Products Unlawful
- Oct 28, 4:05pm (1 review) health http://www.webmd.com/heart-disease/news/...
 "Oct. 28, 2008 -- Bayer is "illegally marketing" and making "misleading" claims about two "misbranded" aspirin products, the FDA warns.
The products are Bayer Women's Low Dose Aspirin + Calcium and Bayer Aspirin with Heart Advantage. Both are sold over the counter.
According to the FDA:
* Bayer Women's combines aspirin with calcium. Its label suggests it will strengthen bones and fight osteoporosis.
* Bayer Heart Advantage combines low-dose aspirin with phytosterols. Its label suggests it will lower cholesterol.
* Both products' labels suggest they will reduce the risk of heart disease.
The FDA says that drugs claiming to "fight" or otherwise treat osteoporosis require official approval. And FDA says the claim to lower cholesterol is a claim to treat or prevent heart disease and high cholesterol levels -- both of which require new drug approval."
Yet another example of a pharmaceutical company trying to take advantage of the consumer. Bayer is hardly a 'team player'; they are responsible for some truly reprehensible chemical products.
