What Is A Genetically Modified Organism?

You Need to READ This!

All living things have been wondrously and marvelously made by our Creator and are unique and distinct unto their kind. [The Bible says numerous times in Genesis Chapter One that
everything is made “after its kind.”]

“Israeli scientist engineers featherless chicken,” according to a May 21, 2002 story that appeared on the web site www.thisislondon. com. Israeli geneticist Avi Cahaner, of the Rehovot Institute near Tel Aviv, has created the world’s first featherless or “naked” chicken. “Despite its bizarre appearance, the red skinned broiler could become a supermarket success because it is designed to grow faster and contain less fat than normal chickens. It will also be cheaper to produce since its lack of feathers means there is no
need to pluck it before it hits the shelves.”

There is no doubt that weird science is now taking place all over the world. It will get worse in the future. Where it stops, no one really knows!

John Hagelin, a Presidential candidate who ran in the 2000 election, made the following statement: “When genetic engineers disregard the reproductive boundaries set in place by natural law, they run the risk of destroying our genetic encyclopedia, compromising the richness of our natural biodiversity and creating
‘genetic soup.’ What this means for the future of our ecosystem, no one knows.”

What Is It Exactly?

Alternative Medicine

Perhaps you have heard of alternative medicine and have wondered what exactly it is. If you have a chronic medical condition, someone has probably suggested that you look into a “natural” or “holistic” treatment option. But before you are ready to plunge into the world of natural remedies, you probably want to learn a little bit more about them.

Holistic healing, alternative medicine, and homeopathy are all terms used to describe a branch of health care that looks for natural, non-invasive ways to treat and prevent illnesses. For example, one commonality found in most homeopathic doctor’s offices or stores is the use of medicinal herbs. Medicinal herbs can be used to treat a wide range of medical conditions, from headaches to heart problems.

Alternative medicine is increasing in popularity across the globe. In fact, it is currently the fastest growing branch of medicine. Many people who feel that traditional medicine has failed turn to homeopathy to treat their medical problems. Others turn to holistic healing to avoid the complicated side effects associated with traditional medicine.Alternative medicine uses substances found in nature to cure the problems of the body. The materials, whether plant, animal, or mineral substances, are chosen specifically for the individual being treated. The goal of the homeopathic doctor is to use these materials to trigger the body’s inborn defenses, creating a natural healing process without putting any artificially formed substances into the body.

Holistic healing uses the same principles as a vaccination. By placing a small amount of a substance into the body that would normally cause a sickness, the body’s defense mechanism is triggered. This results in the body naturally fighting off the infection or disease. Rashes, asthma, hormonal difficulties, acne, fatigue, and ear infections are all conditions that respond particularly well to holistic healing treatments.

Holistic healing also applies to emotional problems. While medical doctors are quick to prescribe addictive drugs to deal with depression and other emotional problems, the homeopathic doctor looks at the entire person, diagnosing what causes the depression and what physical symptoms are present because of the depression. Then the doctor will prescribe a series of treatments that are specific to that individual patient’s condition. For example, if the depression is caused by a physical condition, such as a hormonal imbalance, that condition will be treated using medicinal herbs. If, however, the cause is emotional, the depression will be treated with a different approach.
Holistic healing looks at the entire person, evaluates the physical, emotional, and spiritual condition, and prescribes a treatment based on the individual evaluation. As a result, holistic treatments are highly personalized and highly effective. The biggest benefit of using holistic medicine is not needing to worry about the side effects of traditional pharmaceuticals. If you have a medical condition that needs treatment, consider turning to a holistic doctor and seeing what treatments nature has to offer.

Advising Patients Who Seek Alternative Medical Therapies

Alternative medical therapies, such as chiropractic, acupuncture, homeopathy, and herbal remedies, are in great public demand. Some managed care organizations now offer these therapies as an "expanded benefit." Because the safety and efficacy of these practices remain largely unknown, advising patients who use or seek alternative treatments presents a professional challenge. A step-by-step strategy is proposed whereby conventionally trained medical providers and their patients can pro-actively discuss the use or avoidance of alternative therapies. This strategy involves a formal discussion of patients' preferences and expectations, the maintenance of symptom diaries, and follow-up visits to monitor for potentially harmful situations. In the absence of professional medical and legal guidelines, the proposed management plan emphasizes patient safety, the need for documentation in the patient record, and the importance of shared decision making.

Are You Taking Too Many Medications?

With our national pharmacy bill now topping $200 billion each year, and recent disclosures about harmful and ineffective drugs, more people are asking:

Are all those pills really necessary?

Are most Americans over-medicated? They sure are. Americans take many drugs unnecessarily, and when drugs are needed, people often take the wrong ones. For example, before rofecoxib (Vioxx) was withdrawn from the market because it was found to cause heart attacks and strokes (and was discovered to provide no better relief of arthritis symptoms than older, much less expensive anti-inflammatory drugs), about 80% of the Vioxx that was prescribed worldwide was used in the US.

Are doctors to blame? The vast majority of physicians prescribe medication because they think it's in their patients' best interest. But there have been radical changes in the way that our medical knowledge is provided. Before 1980, most clinical research was publicly funded, but now most is funded directly by the drug and other medical industries, whose primary mission is to maximize the return on investments for investors.

Ninety percent of clinical trials now are commercially funded -- as well as 75% of published clinical research. When a pharmaceutical company sponsors a study, the odds are five times greater that the findings will favor its product.

Drug and medical industries fund 70% of continuing education lectures and seminars, which are among the activities that doctors are required to attend to maintain their licenses to practice.

Wherever doctors turn for sources of information, drug companies dominate.

Who should be monitoring doctors' relationships with drug companies? The real failure is on the part of government agencies, such as the FDA and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. Medical journals and academic researchers have become dependent on drug company money and/or are vulnerable to drug company lobbying. Doctors and the public still trust these institutions to independently oversee the integrity of the medical knowledge that informs our medical care, when they simply are not able to do this anymore.

We all know that cholesterol-lowering statins are widely prescribed. Are they unnecessary? Despite being on the market for 18 years and becoming the best-selling class of drugs, statins have never been shown in randomized, controlled trials to provide a significant health benefit when used by women of any age without heart disease or diabetes. The same is true for men over age 65 without heart disease or diabetes. Even so, millions of people in both groups now are taking a statin drug.

Is it ever advisable to take a statin? Yes, there is good evidence that statins are beneficial for people who already have heart disease and for at least some people who have diabetes. A good case also can be made for men who are at very high risk for heart disease (LDL "bad" cholesterol approaching 200 and other risk factors).

What other drugs do you think are being prescribed because of drug company influence? Antihypertensives -- drugs used to treat high blood pressure -- are good examples. Newer medications, such as calcium channel blockers and angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, are among the most popular. One of them, amlodipine (Norvasc), was the second most commonly prescribed drug for older adults in 2003. But a study funded by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute found that diuretics, which have been around for decades, are as good or better than Norvasc in protecting against complications of hypertension, such as heart attack and stroke. A diuretic might cost $29 per year, compared with $549 to $749 for Norvasc, depending on the dose. The patents for diuretics expired decades ago, so drug companies don't profit much from them.

Should everyone with high blood pressure just take a diuretic? High blood pressure is a complex problem. Some people respond to one drug, some to another, and some need more than one. It would make sense, though, to start with a diuretic, and use expensive drugs such as Norvasc only when other alternatives haven't worked.

Are natural therapies a better alternative to some drugs? If you look at the data rather than listen to the drug ads, you see that natural alternatives, such as improved diet and routine exercise, often are far more effective than drugs at achieving real health improvements, such as less heart disease and longer life.

Probably the most important test of a healthful diet's effect on heart disease is the Lyon Diet Heart Study conducted in Lyon, France. Heart attack patients were randomly counseled to eat a Mediterranean diet (high in unprocessed grains, fruits, vegetables and olive oil -- very low in red meat, dairy fat and cholesterol) or a "prudent" post-heart attack diet (no more than 30% of calories from total fat and no more than 10% from saturated fat).

The people counseled to eat the Mediterranean diet developed 72% less heart disease than those in the prudent diet group over the next four years. There were 56% fewer deaths in the group counseled to eat the Mediterranean diet -- that's two to three times the benefit achieved with statin drugs.

The same holds true for exercise. A study conducted at the Cooper Institute for Aerobics Research in Dallas followed 25,000 men who had undergone physical exams. Over the next 10 years, the men whose exercise endurance (as measured on a treadmill) was in the lowest 20% of the group were at a much higher risk of dying than those with high total cholesterol levels (above 240) -- confirming that exercise is even more important than cholesterol control.

But many patients prefer pills because they're easier. There is no question that many of us would rather take a pill than change our lifestyle. If the pills worked, it would simply be a question of how we want to spend our money. The problem is that the pills often are closer to folk medicine -- empowered by our cultural beliefs but without a genuine scientific basis. About two-thirds of our health is determined by the way we live our lives, and -- for better or worse -- no pills can change that.

What's the solution? Most doctors don't invest much time or energy helping patients to make healthful changes in diet and exercise or teaching stress reduction. If you are willing to consider these approaches before trying drug treatment, tell your doctor. When medication is necessary, ask your doctor if a generic drug is just as effective as the expensive brand-name product. Remember, drug ads that tell you to "ask your doctor" about a particular drug have a single purpose -- to sell more drugs, not to improve your health.

Prescription drug ads have become a normal part of our cultural landscape, but the US and New Zealand (with less than four million people) are the only two industrialized countries that allow them. The governments of other industrialized countries believe that assessment of the scientific information about prescription drug treatment should be left to doctors, who should work in a partnership with each patient to determine optimal medical care based on his/her individual situation.

Discover the Common Signs of Fibromyalgia and the Cure!

Fibromyalgia doesn't have to mean a life of discomfort and disruption, discover natural methods for eliminating flare-ups.

Your Solution is Here!

Fibromyalgia is a non-contagious chronic syndrome affecting between 3% and 6% of the population. A chronic syndrome means that there are a number of symptoms that suggest you have Fibromyalgia. The symptoms are varied and can be debilitating.

Fibromyalgia affects a small percentage of the population. Of those affected, 90% are female and 10% are male, and it is most commonly diagnosed in people between the ages of 20 and 50 (I was 38 when diagnosed).

Medical researchers have learned a lot about Fibromyalgia over the years since they started studying it in the 1800's.

It is not an autoimmune disorder, as had been thought initially.

Before 1976 the condition was given another name but in 1976 it was renamed Fibromyalgia to accurately reflect what science had discovered about it: it was related to fiber, muscles, and pain.

Today, Fibromyalgia is known to be a non-contagious, debilitating syndrome with the strong possibility that sufferers have a genetic disposition to developing it.

Also, there seems to be a correlation - at times - to trauma suffered and the development of symptoms or an increase in symptoms.

When I was first diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, I honestly didn't know anything at all about the disorder. Not even how to spell it. But when I became unable to keep my job, meet friends for our regular lunches or come along on shopping dates, plus I couldn't even face the thought of going out for dinner with my husband due to the constant pain that I was in, I became very interested in learning more about this condition.
