On Wednesday, President Obama announced the creation of 23 'executive actions' pertaining to 'gun violence reduction', in response to the Sandy Hook school shooting. He even brought children on stage with him, high-fived, and hugged the kids before signing the actions, which to some, resembled tyrants in the past who used children as props in their propaganda campaigns.
There was talk in the media of a possible federal ban on certain types
of assault rifles, and/or ammunition, however none of the twenty-three
executive actions call for a physical ban of anything. There are orders
dealing with background checks, information evaluation, new federal
programs, and even five orders dealing with 'health care', in relation
to gun violence.
Surely these orders will make it slightly more difficult for some
Americans, in the future, to obtain firearm protection, but, in my
opinion, the main purpose of these executive orders is to further the
federal governments involvement into your life through the health care
system.
Of the twenty three executive orders, the one that seems the most
disturbing to me is number sixteen, which states, "Clarify that the
Affordable Care Act does not prohibit doctors asking their patients
about guns in their homes." There was already concern that the Affordable Care Act intruded on doctor/patient confidentiality, and this new executive order furthers those concerns. Essentially, the federal government will spy on you through your medical doctor. Last month, I reported on a federal program to also turn your local religious leaders (priests, pastors, reverends, etc.), into spies for the federal government.

HFCS Food for Bees Found to Increase Colony Collapse Disorder

Activist Post
A study released on Monday shows that cheaper honey substitutes such as high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) and sugar (made from genetically modified sugar beets) are contributing to massive bee death via Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) by depriving bees of crucial nutrients, which weakens their immune systems.
Sadly, U.S. bee keepers were devastated by the loss of nearly one-third of their cross-pollinating, food co-creator colonies this past winter alone. That finding is close to the yearly average decline over the past six years, making the cumulative data a great concern for the species and crops. Scientists still like to play it safe and say the decline that's damaging the food supply is largely unexplained, but neonicotinoid pesticides have one of the biggest roles in the loss. And, they have everything to do with why HFCS fed to bees is further killing them.

Dr.
Lamm is referring to two specific conditions — chronic idiopathic
constipation (CIC) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Although both
disorders afflict men and women, more women suffer from them. IBS is a
complex functional gastrointestinal disorder that presents with either
constipation or diarrhea, or alternates between both. It also causes
pain. Patients may first ignore their symptoms or blame stress and
simply live with it, according to Dr. Lamm.

End your cravings for chocolate by simply paying more attention to your thoughts say scientists
It is the news that chocoholics have been waiting to hear - scientists have found a 'cure' to end chocolate cravings.
Unfortunately, it involves will power and some strict mental discipline.
Scientists believe they have discovered the secret to cutting down your chocolate consumption.
Chocoholics who find it impossible to
stop themselves from indulging in their favourite treat should turn to a
technique called 'cognitive defusion', they say.
Essentially, the process involves learning to recognise that 'you are not your thoughts' so you become better at resisting temptation.
Dr Katy Tapper, of City University London, and Kim Jenskins, of Swansea University, said their findings could help many people seeking to switch to healthier diets.

Legendary actor Dick Van Dyke says he has
solved a medical mystery that has baffled him and his doctors for years.
The cause of pounding headaches that have plagued him for seven years
are his titanium dental implants, he says.
Fans and friends of the 87-year-old star had been concerned about his health ever since he canceled a public appearance in April and announced that he was fatigued and suffered from insomnia as a result of an undiagnosed neurological disorder.
Fans and friends of the 87-year-old star had been concerned about his health ever since he canceled a public appearance in April and announced that he was fatigued and suffered from insomnia as a result of an undiagnosed neurological disorder.
Van Dyke was so desperate that he appealed
for help from his fans through Twitter. "My head bangs every time I lay
down," he said. "I've had every test come back that I'm perfectly
healthy. Anybody got any ideas?"
The beloved star of TV's The Dick Van Dyke Show and the movie Mary Poppins added, "It's been going on for seven years. I've had every test you can think of, including an MRI and spinal tap."

Top Doc: Beware of New Diabetes Medication
An alarming link to pancreatic cancer
should prompt users of the new diabetes drug Januvia to seek safer
alternatives, says renowned physician Chauncey Crandall, M.D.
Dr. Crandall’s advice for diabetes patients: First try to manage your health with improved diet and fitness, which can often be as effective as drugs. For those who require medication, choose an older drug — such as the longtime diabetes medicine metformin — as first-line defense. Only those who don’t benefit from older drugs with a long record of safety and effectiveness should consider a newer medicine like Merck's Januvia.

"I think the bottom line is that all drugs carry risks," Dr.
Crandall tells Newsmax Health. "Many have great benefits, but all have
side effects and risks. The longer I’ve been in medicine the more I
observe this, so we always need to weigh the risk-benefit ratio."
Dr. Crandall adds that he is particularly "suspicious"of new drugs,
pushed by drug companies as better alternatives to tried-and-true
treatments in heavy marketing campaigns aimed at doctors.

CoQ10 Found to Cut in Half Heart Failure Death Rate

SPECIAL: These 4 Things Happen Right Before a Heart Attack — Read More.
Researchers also reported a significant decrease in the number of
hospitalizations for heart failure patients being treated with Coenzyme
Q10 (CoQ10). About 14 percent of patients taking the supplement
suffered from a major cardiovascular event that required hospital
treatment, compared with 25 percent of patients receiving placebos.
In heart failure, the heart becomes weak and can no longer pump enough oxygen- and nutrient-rich blood throughout the body. Patients often experience fatigue and breathing problems as the heart enlarges and pumps faster in an effort to meet the body's needs.
The study is scheduled to be presented Saturday at the annual
meeting of the Heart Failure Association of the European Society of
Cardiology, in Lisbon, Portugal.
"CoQ10 is the first medication to improve survival in chronic heart failure since ACE inhibitors and beta blockers more than a decade ago and should be added to standard heart failure therapy," lead researcher Svend Aage Mortensen, a professor with the Heart Center at Copenhagen University Hospital, in Denmark, said in a society news release.

Popular Statin Found to Cut Exercise Benefits

The finding that simvastatin — a generic type of statin sold under
the brand name Zocor — may cut the benefits of exercise underscores new
questions about the pros and cons of taking such cholesterol-lowering
medicines.
"Fitness has proven to be the most
significant predictor of longevity and health because it protects
people from a variety of chronic diseases," said John Thyfault, an
associate professor of nutrition and exercise physiology at MU.
"Daily physical activity is needed to maintain or improve fitness, and thus improve health outcomes. However, if patients start exercising and taking statins at the same time, it seems that statins block the ability of exercise to improve their fitness levels."

Why the Egyptians only had sex in the summer: Researchers find key time for conception was in July and August to coincide with the Nile flooding
Ancient Egyptians primarily had sex in the summer, new research reveals.
The most popular time for love-making was July and August meaning that 20 per cent more babies were born in March and April than in other months.
As a consequence, most deaths among women of childbearing age also occurred in these months.
Archaeologists working at a
cemetery in the Dakhleh Oasis in Egypt excavated 765 graves and were
able to establish the month of each person’s death because the graves
were all pointed towards the rising sun.
Live Science reported that they uncovered the graves of 124 babies that had died 18 to 45 weeks after conception – putting these two pieces of information together enabled the researchers to piece together the most popular time for love-making.
The findings are particularly surprising because in other ancient Mediterranean cultures fewer babies are thought to have been conceived during the hot summer months because the heat lowered libido and possibly affected sperm count.
It is thought that in ancient Egypt beliefs about fertility and the Nile flood may have been responsible for the baby booms.
The residents of the Dakhleh Oasis believed that the river was the key to their land’s fertility and the floods occurred during the summer months meaning that there were widespread celebrations.
The researchers believe that the peak in spring births continued until the 1920s or 30s.
In contrast, conception rates
fell to annual lows in January and this is believed to have been because
Christian believes required abstinence during Advent and Lent.
Additionally, it is thought that early Egyptian Christians were encouraged to avoid sex on Saturdays, Sundays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
Finally, it is believed that some form of contraception must have been in use and it is thought that recipes including crocodile dung were so unpleasant that they put people off intercourse altogether.
