The Bioregional State's Bodily Integrity Principle Vs. Codex Alimentarius' WTO Vitamin Police

Posted on October 06, 2008 in Canadian drugs

Bodily Integrity Vs. Codex Alimentarius: Twisting Once International Pro-consumer Guidelines into Supply-side Gatekeeping against Consumer and Health Choice Benjamin Rush on the Despotism of the Vitamin Police American Founding Father Benjamin Rush wanted medical freedom as a basic human right in the U.S. Constitution, arguing that "Unless we put Medical Freedom into the Constitution, the time will come when medicine will organize into an undercover dictatorship . . .[T]o restrict the art of healing to one class of men, and deny equal privilege to others, will be to constitute the Bastille of Medical Science. All such laws are un-American and despotic and have no place in a Republic....The Constitution of this Republic should make special privilege for Medical Freedom as well as Religious Freedom." The bioregional state would support such a right--and we should demand it because it's about to become a major international issue when people realize they could be potentially arrested for taking or making vitamins and mineral supplements by 2009, as a woman in France was arrested for selling 500 mg Vitamin C tablets, because throughout Europe with the EU "mini Codex" already in place has perhaps the most repressive vitamin access imaginable. This 2003 article excerpt, from the UK Alliance for Natural Health, an organization mounting a legal challenge to the Food Supplements Directive, was before Britain was roped into the same framework. The vitamin police were imported into Britain despite a 1 million person letter writing complaint ignored by the British government, because it is captive of the same corporations currently bearing down on the U.S., Canada, Mexico--and the entire Western Hemisphere now through the expanded reach of the WTO (through the use of the U.N.'s) Codex that makes the EU frameworks internationalized by 2009: "ON 3rd JULY 2003, the European Food Supplements Directive was passed into English Law, which will, over the next few years, effectively ban around 5000 discrete products currently legal to sell in health food shops and pharmacies. This Directive has been devised and pushed forward by the unelected EU bureaucrats in order to "harmonize" the selling of health supplements throughout the EU, and was railroaded through the British Parliament by the Blair Government despite being rejected by the House of Lords. The way that the Government passed it was outrageous: just before the vote by the Standing Committee in the House of Commons, five Labour MPs who were going to vote against it were replaced by more obedient MPs. Even then, this directive was only passed by 8 votes to 6! "So it seems that the European Parliament and the present UK Government are determined to pass the Food Supplements Directive despite the will of the people and even of MPs themselves. Why? Because it is the will of the EU Parliament which is very strongly influenced by the massive pharmaceutical companies in Europe. They are the only ones that will financially gain from the destruction of the health supplement industry. After all, people who take responsibility for their own health by taking supplements need less drugs because they are healthier. "It is ironic that the Malnutrition Advisory Group has recently released a report showing that about 2 million people in the UK(!), including 60% of hospital patients, are not getting adequate nutrition and they admit that this is severally affecting their health and ability to heal. Of course, they don't mention supplements because they are still under the false and dangerous impression that this fictitious thing called a "well-balanced diet" exists that can adequately supply all the nutrients that the body needs. Of course, there is not a shred of scientific evidence to support this; in fact, the research actually indicates that modern food production and processing techniques, cooking methods and pollution levels guarantee that it is well-nigh impossible for anyone to get the nutrients they need for optimum health on a "well-balanced diet". (And if you can't get optimum nutrition using ingredients from the supermarket, how on earth are you going to find it in a disgusting NHS hospital slop canteen!) Given this terrible state of modern nutrition, it is astonishing that our governments are trying to move legislation towards a vastly reduced availability of nutritional supplements. What is going on? "Many of us have been protesting about these proposals for the past five years, writing letters to our MPs and MEPs, signing million signature petitions and even marching on Parliament here in London. Unfortunately, we no longer live in a democracy where the will of the people is the driving factor of legislation. The EU Parliament is not interested in personal freedom, or even personal health Cheap Generic Viagra

Big Pharma: Everyone's Favourite Market Failure

Posted on October 06, 2008 in Erectile dysfunction drugs

Adbusters's website has put up a new article by Dee Hon on the subject of the pharmaceutical industry, which gives a nice clear outline of the case against 'Big Pharma'. Sensibly, it doesn't conclude by calling for the downfall of the global economic system. Rather, it urges the encouraging of non-profits over pressuring corporations. Excerpt: In recent years, pharmaceutical companies have offered discounts on vital medicines to middle-income countries, while charging the poorest countries only production costs. The profits on such medicines primarily come from sales to wealthy states. Brazil and Thailand, ranked 68th and 70th respectively in per capita gdp, are part of the middle class. Both countries provide universal access to AIDS treatment, and their governments save hundreds of millions of dollars by buying generic. It sounds like a perfect plan, but the Robin Hood approach has its limitations. Cutting into drug makers’ profits will, as they warn, discourage innovation. Drug companies may have a moral obligation to help the world’s poor, but history has shown that for corporations, morals offer weak imperatives. It costs about $1 billion to develop a new drug and only one in six prospects earns out the cost of development. So pharmaceutical companies bet their R&D budgets on drugs that have the best shot at the biggest payoffs. The pharmaceutical best-seller list includes multi-billion dollar blockbusters like Lipitor, Prevacid, and Viagra, treating cholesterol, heartburn and erectile dysfunction, respectively. They’re the disorders of the wealthy, aging and overfed West. Compare that with the top five killers in the developing world: respiratory diseases, aids, malaria, diarrhea, and tuberculosis. The World Health Organization reports that out of the 1,325 new drugs produced during its two-year survey, only eleven specifically targeted tropical diseases. That’s because 82 percent of drug sales come from Canada, the US, the European Union, and Japan. Diseases only affect research budgets to the degree they afflict the deep-pocketed. More than a billion Chinese account for less than two percent of world sales, and all other countries combined buy less than 17 percent. Cheap Generic Viagra

Maxwell sues Nesscap over ultracapacitors

Posted on October 06, 2008 in Erectile dysfunction treatment

Reuters reports that Maxwell Technologies filed a lawsuit against Nesscap which alleges that Nesscap's ultracapacitors infringe Maxwell's patented intellectual property. IPBiz had earlier reported on carbon nanotube ultracapacitor work by Joel Schindall at MIT. *** Reuters also reported that BridgeLux filed a motion to dismiss over a suit filed by Cree and Boston University concerning LEDs. Can you say Bayh-Dole in action? *** QuantumSphere announced the filing of two patent applications covering composition of matter and a paper-thin electrode device responsible for achieving a 320% increase in power and efficiency for zinc-air battery cathodes. Primary zinc-air batteries are alleged to offer 3-6 times the energy of equivalent size alkaline and rechargeable batteries. Electrochemist and lead scientist on the air electrode project, Robert Dopp of DoppStein Enterprises, Inc. (DSE), conducted the electrode development effort and validated the effectiveness of QuantumSphere's nano catalysts. *** In Gemmy Industries v. Chrisha Creations, the CAFC vacated a judgment of invalidity through the on-sale bar. Gemmy's '843 patent was directed to inflatable holiday figures. Daniel Flaherty was the president of Gemmy. *** In Nichols Institute Diagnostics v. Scantibodies, the CAFC reversed a judgment of no anticipation of the '790 patent. *** The Beijing No. 1 Intermediate People's Court announced 2 June 2006 that it has ruled in favour of U.S. drug giant Pfizer, in a long-awaited decision over the company's erectile dysfunction treatment Viagra (sildenafil citrate), according to an initial report by the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) on 3 June 2006. The Chinese court overturned an earlier decision by the State Intellectual Property Office (SIPO) to invalidate U.S. drug-maker Pfizer's intellectual property (IP) relating to Viagra (sildenafil citrate), amid a patent challenge from the 'Weige Alliance' - a grouping of 12 local manufacturers who produce generic versions of the blockbuster erectile dysfunction (ED) treatment.

News - Feds Warn Against Risky Silicone 'Pump Parties'

Posted on October 06, 2008 in Ed pump

Found this on AOL. We have known that silicone gel injections were a dangerous proposition for years. Why is it that people still seek them? I remember as a resident a patient who had had silicone gel injected into her breasts. This left her with breasts filled with nodules that felt like rocks. These hurt her a great deal. We ended up reconstructing her breasts utilizing her tummy tissue (Free TRAM) following mastectomies. Her results were numb breasts, but the pain was gone. A high price to pay for being stylish. Please research that which seems "new and different" before having it. You might find that it is neither new nor different. It might also not be desirable.

GUZZLE, GUZZLE OIL BUBBLE

Posted on October 06, 2008 in Ed pump

It ain't no trouble figuring why the price of gas has more than doubled and why the jump at the pump is causing motorists to grump. But they have to pay anyway because that's the way things are today. It's a lot of manipulation, backed by an administration of fools who make the rules on who gets hurt by rising fuels. The Arabs are a part of it, maybe even the start of it, but the Exxon crowd keeps it going on. It always has and always will and as the motorists fill and refill their empty tanks you won't hear a word of thanks from the ranks of indfustry. They just say, "You buy. We supply." And well, the wells ain't going dry. Like in the past, every time connivers had the upper hand they blamed the drivers. The Exxon icon was the same: Supply and Demand's the name of the game. Figure it out. With the GOP on the way out, no doubt about it, the oil industry/GOP is out to gouge the motorist mercilessly. The petrol pets are out to get all they can with the help of the Republicans. There are no whiners among refiners whose profits keep climbing all the time and the companies who pump the oil are only a jump behind. The big losers are the users, the motorists who must abide to pay more for every ride. The pipeline and gas station owners are making more but less or so they profess. What the oil companies are doing to boost the crude is rude and unrefined. And keep in mind who's behind it all. Their greed exceeds their dollar needs and bleeds the whole economy. Take note the next time you vote. Return prosperity and sanity to the good oiled U. S. A. Cheap Generic Viagra

One Day As A Lion

Posted on October 05, 2008 in Prescriptions

Where have you been Zack de la Rocha? Since the days as the frontman in RATM, ZDLR has been in the, well, er, recordin’ doldrums. After the split in 2000, he has laid down a few collaboratin’ sounds with, Trent Reznor, DJ Shadow and ?uestlove. But now the rap rockin’ gypsy fortune teller has a new project and debut EP that will be droppin’ on July 22 on Anti-. One Day As A Lion is the name of the Zak's new musical collabo with former drummer of the Mars Volta, Jon Theodore. If yer rock 'n roll stethoscopes are curious the name comes from... Well, luckily we had our medical interns do a little research. “The name taken from the infamous 1970 black and white, captured by legendary Chicano photographer George Rodriguez featuring a center framed tag on a white wall in an unspecified section of Boyle Heights. It reads: ‘It’s better to live one day as a lion, than a thousand years as a lamb.’ This record is a stripped down attempt to realize this sentiment in sound.” All we can say about that is, it's better to live one day as Zack de la Rocha than a thousand years as Audioslave. Haw, Haw, Haw. From the press release… "One Day As A Lion is both a warning delivered and a promise kept. A defiant affirmation of the possibilities that exist in the space between kick and snare. It's a sonic reflection of the visceral tension between a picturesque fabricated cultural landscape, and the brutal socioeconomic realities it attempts to mask. One Day As A Lion is a recorded interaction between Zack de la Rocha and Jon Theodore from Los Angeles, California." The song Wild International offa the EP premiered over the airwaves on KROQ a few days back. At this very moment, all we can say, so far, is that note for note, sound for sound, this sounds the same way we thought it would. Which is a good thing. Also, we heard that the EP sounds like a cross between Dr. Dre and Led Zeppelin, hmmmm. From all of us here at the asylum, it's good to have you back Zack. Should You DL? Of course, as your Doctor, I advise you to download your daily dosage of MP3s - Just not on this here post, cause we don't really feel like dealin' with the record labels for releasin' a not-yet-released track...

One wild night

Posted on October 02, 2008 in Antibiotic

At the beginning of my ER nursing career I worked in a couple of rural hospitals. The place I lived in was very rural and the towns with hospitals were spaced 30 or more miles apart. There was no such thing as diversion, you just dealt with what you got. Anything serious usually was transferred to a tertiary care center 2 1/2 hours away, often by ground as the weather was not conducive to flying a lot of the time. It was the 3 - 11 shift in our ten-bed ER. We were staffed with three RN's. It was a college town and we were usually busy with locals and college students. The ER was packed that night. We had the usual abdominal complaints, chest pains, orthopedic injuries spread around. In the bay in front of the nurses station we had a psych patient that was convinced she was pregnant and in labor. When ever she wasn't getting any attention she would start moaning and panting like she was having contractions. Never a dull moment. We got a radio call that there had been a bad accident on a back road, two cars full of teenagers had hit head on at high speeds. Two were dead at the scene and they were bringing us the other 5. Five traumas in an ER staffed with one doc and three nurses! Yikes! Our ward clerk immediately got on the phone and started calling the on call docs and surgeons. It was bad, all five had serious injuries. Two of them obviously had bad head injuries. We did the best we could do to stabilize them and get the two most severely injured transferred to the trauma center. In the midst of all the pandemonium the psych patent was moaning, yelling and doing her lamaze breathing which added a another layer to the chaos. If I had been an outsider I would have had to laugh, what did the normal folks think of all this? Only in the ER. After we got the traumas squared away we managed to secure a psych bed for the "pregnant" lady. By then the shift was over. No breaks, no dinner, not even time to pee. Ah....the life of an ER nurse.

Definitions of 'euthanasia'

Posted on September 29, 2008 in Generic medical release

With so much talk about 'euthanasia' these days after the Terri Schiavo affair (March 2005), and the affirming decision of the US Supreme Court (January 2006) in the Oregon physician-assisted suicide case, it seems time -- in the interests of mutual understanding -- to define the principal words being used. Thus............. ASSISTED SUICIDE: Helping a person to end his or her life by request in order to end suffering.. (Rarely prosecuted and only lawful in Switzerland where the reasons must be altruistic.) PHYSICIAN-ASSISTED SUICIDE: Medical doctor helping patient to die by prescribing a lethal overdose. Patient can chose whether to drink it. (Lawful only in Oregon, Switzerland, Netherlands and Belgium.) EUTHANASIA: A broad, generic term meaning 'help with a good death.' VOLUNTARY EUTHANASIA: Death by lethal injection by doctor when requested by patient. (Only lawful in Belgium and the Netherlands for the terminally or hopelessly ill.) NON-VOLUNTARY EUTHANASIA: Using powerful drugs, doctor ends life of suffering, dying patient who is comatose. Illegal, but happens all the time, discreetly, in the interest of compassion. TERMINAL SEDATION: Upon patient request, doctor puts patient into deep sleep with medications, during which time the patient dies either of the underlying illness or starvation/dehydration. Widely practiced and generally accepted as ethical and lawful. MERCY KILLING: Taking the life of another person in the belief that this is a compassionate act because the ill person is unable to do so. Unlawful. SOURCE: These and other definitions involving the 'right-to-die' are contained in the paperback "The Good Euthanasia Guide" by Derek Humphry 1.19.06 Derek Humphry www.finalexit.org www.assistedsuicide.org Cheap Generic Viagra

Muddy Waters 'Hard Again' (1977)

Posted on September 29, 2008 in Prescriptions

All you patients out there in 115th Dreamland grab hold of yer rock 'n roll stethoscopes. The sun is goin' down and the moon is beginin' to rise over the asylum. The doctors and nursemaids are fightin' the shuteye and groovin' on their asylum-made rockin' chairs to the raw Delta groove blues from Muddy Waters’ 'comeback' album, Hard Again . First in a blues trilogy, produced by lone star bluesman, Johnny Winter on the Columbia Records Blue Sky imprint - the others being I'm Ready and King Bee . Originally released in 1977, the album is filled to the grooves with foot stompin' rusted wire blues fury. Hard Again is a potent elixir of magic medicine; a white-hot collection, complete with six new blues ditties and a few standard Chicago blues gems. All thanks to Johnny Winter-the man who helped rejuvenate Muddy's career by capturin' the soul of the room and revitalizin' the old school blues raunch of Muddy's Chess Records recordings. For the record, Muddy was 62-years-old when the album was recorded. Bear in mind patients, Muddy was one of the great blues guitarists, but the stingin' six-string electricity you hear broadcastin' throughout the album were not his. Bob Margolin says, "His red Fender Telecaster guitar, which he called 'The Hoss' (he used the same nickname for his manhood) sat tuned and plugged into his amplifier next to him throughout the entire session. Muddy never picked it up..." Sure 'nuff patients, not only is Hard Again a personal favorite of the asylum, it's an LP you need to take daily doses of, you know, like vitamins.

Hacienda 'Loud Is The Night' (2008)

Posted on September 29, 2008 in Prescriptions

Here we go again patients, it’s that time again at the 115th Dream when we stick by our rock ‘n roll stethoscopes and fight for the liberation of good music. Today we have a band of brothers (and cousin) hailing from the Alamo city, San Antonio Texas. A sound that’s infectin’ the halls of the asylum. Patients, if yer ears are plannin' on addin' a little bit of new music to their day then they better be listenin' to these guys. The name of the band is Hacienda and their sound radiates laid back cosmic dreamscapes and beautiful neo-retro note clusters that bleed through the grooves. If you were mad enough to take the elements of The Beatles, Beach Boys, The Band and mix ‘em up in a rock ‘n roll cauldron you would get Hacienda’s new album Loud Is The Night . This quartet has a knack for four part harmonies and that 60s AM dial sound-but in a 21st Century way. A sound that puts a good number of these 'throwback' bands in a day care center. The doctors and nursemaids here have had these guys in the waiting room since The Black Keys' frontman Dan Auerbach said, “They sent me a demo and they blew my fucking mind.""They're Mexican-Americans who are obsessed with the Beach Boys," he said. "I told everybody about them". " Loud Is The Night was recorded and produced live in Auerbach's home studio in Akron, Ohio-with guest spots by Frank and Scott from Dr. Dog. Patients, our top 10 of 2008 is roundin' out nicely. Loud Is The Night is out now on Alive Naturalsound Records.

Extend past next the movie grossed particular $4.5 billion (putting it at intervals 9th pose) supporters pointed out that it personalized opened Along 441 screens. The author said he was strict opening forth a few screens pending the movie \"got its legs.\" Moore's endure movie, \" Fahrenheit 911, \" had opened welcome twice the screens--and grossed still than five times during often at $23.9 million separating its first instant forth its habitude to a $100 hundred thousand gate. Survive when downstream present they entirely said. Steadily formerly month has blow in furthermore ended. Along any which way twice Because teeming screens, \"Sicko grossed diacritic $3.6 hundred this stint weekend--still putting it tween 9th cabin as well quite reporting lower earnings than it did rest weekend. Per screen, its get fell finished any which way 50%. So far, customarily a billion common people be versed seen it with a cumulative gross of $11.5 thousand. Along the one-hand this's a brand of public. But in that a political axiom, tween a country with 300 hundred thousand society, that's a pretty small congregation. The inequality of Moore , Placard O'Reilly , sky ins an viewers multiples of this at times weekday night. Downstream without reservation the hype as well with a U.S. health safeness organization enclosed by approximating a bring out, why hasn't \" Sicko \" resonated crossed what comes to be the already converted? There could be gob cover of reasons. Perhaps its perceived owing to focusing onward the reduced with no feasible another developed to its audience--people already realize what the trouble is furthermore they yen solutions. Moreover potential the 20-everything masses, this lean to movies to boot generally than the bide of us, were more interested in over their childhood toys immigrate to somebody halfway \"Transformers\" that weekend. Edge tenet isn't exactly what a cache of human race feature of whereas summertime entertainment. \"Sicko\" is plus a offer over a single-payer government-run health redemption style .

Section 1983 Claim Fails due to Qualified Immunity

Posted on September 26, 2008 in Generic drugs

In Carr v. Deeds, the Fourth Circuit upheld the District Court's grant to summary judgment for the defendants on the plaintiff's claims brought under section 1983. Plaintiff's section 1983 claims alleged that Trooper Deeds unconstitutionally employed excessive force against the decedent, and that Trooper Deeds and Trooper Bradley unconstitutionally employed deadly force during an attempted arrest of the decedent on July 10, 2001. The court based its decision on qualified immunity, stating that police officers "are shielded from liability for civil damages insofar as their conduct does not violate clearly established statutory or constitutional rights of which a reasonable person would have known." The court said that excessive force is examined under an "objective reasonableness standard," and under the circumstances, a reasonable officer could have believed that the decedent posed a significant threat to serious physical harm to them, their fellow officers, and any others who might encounter him during his flight.

The Elephant Has Landed

Posted on September 26, 2008 in Medical care

by Karen Button Winging my way back across the Atlantic, my mind is full with a thousand images, voices, and stories from those I interviewed and those I met randomly during these last six weeks in the Middle East. My last night in Jordan, unwilling to waste time sleeping, I visited with friends, schemed how additional humanitarian aide could be funneled into war-torn Iraq, and conducted one last interview, this one with a doctor who’d just returned from visiting the health clinic he once directed, but that has been in shambles since US troops shot it up in November. He shows me pictures from his visit: a blackened room where the maternity ward once was, a gaping hole in the ceiling of a treatment room where a missile ripped through, an outside wall strafed with bullet holes and surrounded by barbed wire has a “3DB” spray-painted in black just under the health clinic’s sign. “What’s that?” I ask. “It means three dead bodies,” he replies impassively, as he flips through images. “They spray-paint codes on the sides of buildings after they’ve raided them,” he says of the troops. In another photo, a women stands atop a heap of rubble that was once her house. He doesn’t know what the “BG80” sprayed across a surviving slab of concrete means. I hope it doesn’t refer to 80 dead, but given the hundreds killed, I know that it could. I think back to a conversation I had with Nermin, a 23-year veteran journalist from Baghdad, while we were both in Turkey. She was telling me of the countless times she’d stopped in Fallujah on her way back home from somewhere. Fallujah, famous for its kebobs, was the perfect mid-way stop for a bite to eat. Last November, Nermin went into Fallujah knowing it had been devastated but not prepared for how extreme the devastation was. A trip that was normally 45 minutes now took her five hours. The kebob stand was, of course, gone. Her friend from the Iraqi Red Crescent who’d gotten her in was staying in Shurta, a neighborhood, the friend said, that wasn’t destroyed like other areas. But, it was, Nermin told me, every building either flattened or full of bullet holes. “I’ll never forget the first house I saw. There were beautiful green curtains in a second story window blowing gently in the wind. The main gate was open and in the garden a small bike, as if someone were coming home. But beyond that sat a car, completely destroyed. “I began to think all my dreams were in that bedroom. And where were the owners…were they alive or were they dead?” She looks off into the distance. I follow her gaze, as if I could also see these billowing curtains whose color I imagined as the green of a tree fully leafed out, a color I’ve always thought of as the color of life. “Fallujah was called ‘The City of Minarets,’” she continues, bringing me back. “But now there is no call to prayer. Being a Muslim you are called five times a day, but there was only silence. “I carry a phone book that was given to me in 2003. Fifty of my friends who are in that book are now lost. For the Americans, every Iraqi is a terrorist until they prove it, not deny it.” As I step into the clean, well-organized and climate-controlled airport I wonder how many Americans could hear something like that, I mean, really listen. Most, it seems, prefer their news as sanitized as the airport. Waiting out plane delays due to bad weather, I watch with amused detachment as CNN delivers their version of domestic and international events. I have that very surreal feeling we’ve all had when no one wants to talk about the elephant that’s clearly sitting in the middle of the living room. Listening to Karl Rove being described as the next “Deep Throat” is a clear indication I’m back in the States. As for Iraq, hardly a word is mentioned until a suicide bomber, who’s targeted American troops giving out candy, kills a number of small children. As horrible as this is, the stations play it out as if it’s the only news from Iraq, as if US troops aren’t also killing small children. As a friend later tells me after reading my report about US attacks on Western Iraq’s hospitals, “I know this kind of stuff is happening, but I don’t want to believe it.” I agree with him, it’s painful to look at what your country is capable of. And it’s much easier to turn away from it if we’re not reminded of it each night when we turn on the news, which is why they don’t show us. But, it is happening. Right now. As I write this. As you read it. Now, what will we do… now that we know?
