The Health Current Events swine flu threat to pregnant women has been well-documented, and public health officials urged them to get vaccinated. Previous research showed expectant mothers infected with the virus are more likely to be hospitalized and face a greater risk of death than the general population.

The new report, released Wednesday by the Journal of Medicine, is the first to look at the risk to women who recently gave birth and highlights “the continued high risk immediately after pregnancy,” the researchers wrote.

As a result of the research, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently revised its guidelines, recommending that flu drugs be given to women who show signs of the flu soon after they give birth.

The study was done by the California Public Health and the CDC. California, the nation’s most populous state, has stepped up surveillance of the disease since the 2009 H1N1 strain was discovered in April in two California children.

The study involved 94 pregnant women and eight new mothers who were hospitalized during the first four months of the pandemic before a vaccine became available, in October. This was only one of many serious Health Current Events.

Most of those pregnant women were in their second or third trimesters, when the risk of flu complications is believed to be highest. Many were otherwise healthy and went to the hospital with mild symptoms like fever or cough, but their health rapidly declined.

One way to get started is to join the Yahoo FlaxSeedOil2 group and you’ll automatically receive a summary of the Budwig plan that gives enough details for you to get stated.

You can also see videos explaining Dr. Budwig’s program and read articles that will help clarify it by clicking this link - http://budwigvideos.com

Dr. Budwig did not use coffee enemas with patients. Thousands of people have overcome advanced cancers with her plan without them.

For pancreatic cancer, the transitional diet will need to be followed for a few days, then begin the regular Budwig diet with small amounts of oil to make sure it can be digested without digestive difficulties. Build the amount a little each day until the full recommendations are followed.

There’s plenty of help to start the Budwig plan and ask questions about it. First, look at the BudwigVideos website and read the articles under FUNDAMENTALS in the Menu. Watch the videos on the front page and you’ll be off to a good start. You can also join the site for many more videos, recipes and articles.

Scientists Crack Entire Genetic Code of Cancer

Scientists have unlocked the entire genetic code of two of the most common cancers–skin and lung–a move they say could revolutionise cancer care. Not only will the cancer maps pave the way for blood tests to spot tumours far earlier, they will also yield new drug targets, say the Wellcome Trust team.

Scientists around the globe are now working to catalogue all the genes that go wrong in many types of human cancer. The UK is looking at breast cancer, Japan at liver and India at mouth. China is studying stomach cancer, and the US is looking at cancers of the brain, ovary and pancreas.

Here is what the University of Kansas researchers had to say in a 2007 publication:

Some in the oncology community contend that patients undergoing chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy should not use food supplement antioxidants and other nutrients. Oncologists at an influential oncology institution contended that antioxidants interfere with radiation and some chemotherapies because those modalities kill by generating free radicals that are neutralized by antioxidants, and that folic acid interferes with methotrexate. This is despite the common use of amifostine and dexrazoxane, 2 prescription antioxidants, during chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy.

Design: To assess all evidence concerning antioxidant and other nutrients used concomitantly with chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy, the MEDLINE and CANCERLIT databases were searched from 1965 to November 2003 using the words vitamins, antioxidants, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. Bibliographies of articles were searched. All studies reporting concomitant nutrient use with chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy (280 peer-reviewed articles including 62 in vitro and 218 in vivo) were indiscriminately included.

Results: Fifty human clinical randomized or observational trials have been conducted, involving 8,521 patients using beta-carotene; vitamins A, C, and E; selenium; cysteine; B vitamins; vitamin D3; vitamin K3; and glutathione as single agents or in combination.

Conclusions: Since the 1970s, 280 peer-reviewed in vitro and in vivo studies, including 50 human studies involving 8,521 patients, 5,081 of whom were given nutrients, have consistently shown that non-prescription antioxidants and other nutrients do not interfere with therapeutic modalities for cancer. Furthermore, they enhance the killing of therapeutic modalities for cancer, decrease their side effects, and protect normal tissue. In 15 human studies, 3,738 patients who took non-prescription antioxidants and other nutrients actually had increased survival.

(Altern Ther Health Med. 2007;13(1):22-28.)

So I think if your doctor says don’t take antioxidants, ignore that advice and read up on the literature yourself, go seek other advice, or find another doctor who might be more open to complementary therapies.

First, if anyone promises you a cure for cancer, run the other way.

For a healthy detox, albeit slower, look into a veggie raw food diet. However, do not expect it to cure everything. When I became a raw foodist, it did cure a lot of my problems - but did not stop me from developing cancer. But I felt terrific and looked great.

I have used other Dr. Schulze’s products and really liked them. But to spend that kind of money on promises that cannot be kept, well, that’s criminal.

I had a friend who had bicarb injections into her breast tumour, and it appears that it has got rid of the tumour.

Might be of interest or encouragement to someone.
