Fill 'Er Up With Human Fat

How a Beverly Hills doctor powered his SUV using his patients' spare
tires.

Liposuctioning unwanted blubber out of pampered Los Angelenos may not
seem like a dream job, but it has its perks. Free fuel is one of them.

For a time, Beverly Hills doctor Craig Alan Bittner turned the fat he
removed from patients into biodiesel that fueled his Ford SUV and his
girlfriend's Lincoln Navigator.

Americans increasingly obese, hooked on plastic surgery and living by
the sea, census shows

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/dec/17/us-census-health-obesity-population

Americans appear to be increasingly seduced by the allure of plastic
surgery and life by the beach, and are proving unable to shrug off the
habit of overeating despite a massive health drive against obesity,
the latest US census abstract suggests.

The 2009 Statistical Abstract of the United States shows that the
amount of cosmetic remodelling rose from 8.5m procedures in 2001 to
11.7m in 2007.

Most of the work was nonsurgical, with Botox injections the most
popular, totalling 2.8m procedures in 2007. Also popular are
hyaluronan injections, approved by US regulators in 2003, which are
used to fill out facial wrinkles.

Of the 2.1m surgical procedures in 2007, liposuction (457,000) and
breast enlargement (399,000) topped the table.

Bravo to Dr. Zuckerman and thank you! Let's distribute this widely.

Clothing optional beaches are better because you can go skinny dipping
and not get tan lines. These two reasons make clothing optional
beaches infinitely better. Skinny dipping is way better than wearing
a swimsuit and you look way better without tan lines. You have an
unalienable right to choose to wear what you want to wear and this
includes wearing nothing.

Given that people are highly likely to want to wear nothing at a beach
or anytime when swimming, and based on this right to choose to wear
whatever you want to wear, we should have more clothing optional
beaches and swimming areas everywhere in the world.

Going naked is also not a gay thing. You may see a naked man at a
nude beach, but he's more likely heterosexual than homosexual.

Years ago when I saw that the junkscience / ACSH / industry backed
front groups were claiming that cell phones were "safe" ... I realized
there was probably serious problems. Industries don't spend huge
PR$$$$ (like Dow Chemical for breast implants, Monsanto for GM seeds,
aspartame, etc., Merck for vaccinations) unless they have plenty to
hide.

May God protect us ... because the quacky frontgroups of these huge
industries will continue to lie to us ... giving false assurances on
dangerous products.

In six years, Abbott Laboratories' Humira has gone from wonder drug to
wonder-how-it-got-approved drug.

In six short years, Humira (adalimumab), Abbott Laboratories'
rheumatoid arthritis (RA) medication, cited in both articles, has gone
from wonder drug to wonder-how-it-got-approved drug; more results from
safety reviews are expected in November.

Forty-five people have died from invasive fungal diseases while taking
Humira and its pharmacological cousins Enbrel, Remicade and Cimzia,
the FDA said last week in recommending stronger warnings. That's
almost 20 percent of the 241 people who were diagnosed with fungal
diseases since the drugs came on market.

The opportunistic infections, clustered in fungal endemic areas like
the Ohio and Mississippi river valleys, can appear like the flu and be
missed by physicians, the FDA cautioned.

COULD THE DIABETES EPIDEMIC BE DOWN TO POLLUTION?

By Phyllida Brown

On July 10, 1976, a reactor at a chemical plant near the small town of
Seveso in northern Italy exploded, sending a toxic cloud drifting into
the summer sky. Around 18 square kilometres of land was contaminated
with TCDD, a member of the notorious class of industrial chemicals
known as dioxins.

The immediate after-effects were relatively mild: 15 children landed
in hospital with skin inflammation and around 3300 small animals were
killed. Today, however, the accident casts a long shadow over the
people of Seveso, who are suffering increased numbers of premature
deaths from cancer, cardiovascular disease and, perhaps surprisingly,
diabetes (American Journal of Epidemiology, vol 167, p 847).

Questions remain about how depleted uranium waste from the first Gulf
War was transferred, and whether health risks were posed.

On April 26, 2008, the BBC Alabama arrived in Longview, Wash.,
carrying 6,700 tons of Kuwaiti sand. The sand had become contaminated
with depleted uranium when U.S. military vehicles and munitions caught
fire at Doha Army base in Kuwait during the 1991 Gulf War. The
depleted uranium was being repatriated. The sand was a gift of the
Kuwaiti government.

So was the cost of repatriation. Neither government will discuss just
how much the tab was.

The Longview Daily News reported that Mike Wilcox, vice president of
the International Longshoremen's and Warehousemen's Union Local 21,
initially had been "concerned about the safety of longshoremen and the
entire community when he heard a shipment of depleted uranium was
coming into Longview."

Why Genetically Modified Crops Can Devastate Health

http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2003/07/02/gm-crops-part-six....

1. GM crops failed to deliver promised benefits

The consistent finding from independent research and on-farm
surveys since 1999 is that GM crops have failed to deliver the
promised benefits of significantly increasing yields or reducing
herbicide and pesticide use. GM crops have cost the United States an
estimated $12 billion in farm subsidies, lost sales and product
recalls due to transgenic contamination. Massive failures in Bt cotton
of up to 100 percent were reported in India.
