Holy fuck baaad Idea!
"For the first time, an influential doctors group is recommending that some children as young as 8 be given cholesterol-fighting drugs to ward off future heart problems.
It is the strongest guidance ever given on the issue by the American Academy of Pediatrics, which released its new guidelines Monday. The academy also recommends low-fat milk for 1-year-olds and wider cholesterol testing.
Dr. Stephen Daniels, of the academy's nutrition committee, says the new advice is based on mounting evidence showing that damage leading to heart disease, the nation's leading killer, begins early in life.
It also stems from recent research showing that cholesterol-fighting drugs are generally safe for children, Daniels said."

I AM SO FUCKING SICK OF THESE SCUMFUCK! ITS US HUMANS AGISNT THEM. ALL IT TAKES IS TO FUCKING REALIZE WHATS GOING ON AND WAKE UP. ITS A REVOLUTION OF THE MIND!!! "Three Polish doctors and six nurses are facing criminal prosecution after a number of homeless people died following medical trials for a vaccine to the H5N1 bird-flu virus.
The medical staff, from the northern town of Grudziadz, are being investigated over medical trials on as many as 350 homeless and poor people last year, which prosecutors say involved an untried vaccine to the highly-contagious virus.
Authorities claim that the alleged victims received ÂŁ1-2 to be tested with what they thought was a conventional flu vaccine but, according to investigators, was actually an anti bird-flu drug.
The director of a Grudziadz homeless centre, Mieczyslaw Waclawski, told a Polish newspaper that last year, 21 people from his centre died, a figure well above the average of about eight."

You Tried to tell us Huxley. thanks for the warning but us stupid humans will just continue to take this bullshit
"The British government is developing a plan to track current and former prisoners by means of microchips implanted under the skin, drawing intense criticism from probation officers and civil rights groups.
As a way to reduce prison crowding, many British prisoners are currently released under electronic monitoring, carried out by means of an ankle bracelet that transmits signals like those used by mobile phones.
Now the Ministry of Justice is exploring the possibility of injecting prisoners in the back of the arm with a radio frequency identification (RFID) chip that contains information about their name, address and criminal record. Such chips, which contain a built-in antenna, could be scanned by special readers. The implantation of RFID chips in luggage, pets and livestock has become increasingly popular in recent years"

"â€oeVolatile Vinyl: The New Shower Curtainâ€s Chemical Smell” is the title of a study released today that analyzes the reasons why new vinyl shower curtains smell the way they do. The bad news is because they contain more than 100 chemicals known to be toxic to humans and they release these toxic chemicals into the air for about 28 days.
The Canadian research team tested PVC shower curtains purchased at Wal-Mart, Target, Sears, Kmart, and Bed Bath & Beyond stores in the United States and Canada. All shower curtains under scrutiny emitted dangerous volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the air when removed from their packaging and they continued to do so for 28 more days."

mmmmmm yummmy bathtub cheese....**vomits**"A rare form of tuberculosis caused by illegal, unpasteurized dairy products, including the popular queso fresco cheese, is rising among Hispanic immigrants in Southern California and raising fears about a resurgence of a strain all but eradicated in the U.S.
Cases of the Mycobacterium bovis strain of TB have increased in San Diego county, particularly among children who drink or eat dairy foods made from the milk of infected cattle, a study in the journal Emerging Infectious Diseases shows.
But the germ can infect anyone who eats contaminated fresh cheeses sold by street vendors, smuggled across the Mexican border or produced by families who try to make a living selling so-called â€oebathtub cheese” made in home tubs and backyard troughs."

Reported psychological symptoms are:
* Suicidal Depressions - Panic Attacks and Anxiety [PAD] - Manias - Sleep Disorders - Severe Mood Disorders [rages, mood swings] - Brain Chemical Imbalance o Brain Wave Malfunctions [shows up in EEGs] - Personality Disorders - Hallucinations -
Aspartic Acid 40% - Dr. John Olney, MD, warned GD Searle representatives that aspartic acid caused lesions, or holes, to form in the brains of his lab animals. In 1986, Dr. Olney appeared on CBS "60 minutes" with his findings, but nothing to date, has come of his research.
The methanol in aspartame breaks down into formaldehyde (embalming fluid) and formic acid, which is the same as the chemical compound of venom in insect stings. At temperatures exceeding 86 degrees Fahrenheit (the average human body temperature is 98.6 F.), methanol is implicated in birth defects and fetal alcohol syndrome in newborn infants. Before aspartame approval, 1 in 1500 infants were born with autism. Today, the number has risen to 1 in 150.
Methanol expert, Dr. Woodrow Monte, PhD, writes in Aspartame: Methanol and the Public Health: "For every molecule of aspartame, there is a molecule of methanol released." Classic signs of methanol poisoning include: lethargy, confusion, leg cramps, back pain, severe headache, abdominal pain, slurred speech, fainting, visual loss/blindness, labored breathing.

Children who live in tree-lined streets have lower rates of asthma, a New York-based study suggests.
Columbia University researchers found that asthma rates among children aged four and five fell by 25% for every extra 343 trees per square kilometre.
They believe more trees may aid air quality or simply encourage children to play outside, although they say the true reason for the finding is unclear.
The study appears in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health.
US rates of childhood asthma soared 50% between 1980 and 2000, with particularly high rates in poor, urban communities.
In New York City, asthma is the leading cause of admission to hospital among children under 15.
The researchers found the city had an average of 613 street trees per square kilometre, and 9% of young children had asthma. "

holy fucking shit "# August 18, 1991 â€" Category 3 Hurricane Bob hits Plum Island knocking down overhead power lines connecting Lab 257 to its only remaining source of electricity, a generator at another location on the island. Freezers containing virus samples defrost, air seals on lab doors are breached, and animal holding room vents fail. The labâ€s â€fail-safe†mechanism of â€air dampers†to seal off the facility also fail in the open position. Melted virus samples mix with infected animal waste on the floor while swarms of mosquitoes fill the facility.
# September 1991 â€" USDA denies that any system failures occurred during the hurricane. Both workers in Lab 257 at the time of the blackout are fired. Both later develop mysterious undiagnosed diseases."
