A woman gave birth while stuck in traffic on a highway in Louisville, Kentucky, and President Barack Obama is to blame. His motorcade was the cause of the traffic. A man called 911 about 5:15 pm Thursday to report that his wife was in labor and that traffic was not moving, Louisville MetroSafe spokeswoman Jody Duncan said. The rush-hour traffic was at a standstill moving because Interstate 65 had been shut down so that the presidential motorcade could travel from the airport to downtown Louisville. Stormy weather did not help matters, the Louisville Courier-Journal reported. Thousands of motorists were stuck in the snarled traffic on both directions of the highway, as well as surface streets in the city, preventing emergency crews from getting to the laboring woman. &ldquo They couldn' t get through due to the traffic from the motorcade,&rdquo Courtney Maloney, a Louisville MetroSafe EMS worker who responded to the call, told WAVE. &ldquo I pretty much had to ride the emergency lane all the way down.&rdquo

http://www.healwithfood.org/health-benefits/prunes.php Superfoods Series -- Health Benefits of Prunes &mdash or dried plums &mdash are considered one of the healthiest foods, but exactly why are prunes good for you? And why are prunes good for constipation?. This article discusses the health benefits of eating prunes, including their ability to relieve constipation, provide antioxidant protection, prevent pre-mature aging, promote cardiovascular health, and reduce the risk of cancer and osteoporosis. Nutrition facts for prunes (GI rating, GL rating, nutrient content, etc) are provided at the end of the article. Antioxidant superfood naturally rich in hydroxycinnamic acids and anthocyanins. A study conducted by researchers from Tufts University in Boston ranked prunes, or dried plums, as #1 food in terms of antioxidant capacity. Lab analysis called ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbency Capacity), researchers found prunes had more than twice the antioxidant capacity of other high ranking foods such as blueberries and raisins. Antioxidants are compounds that help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals, unstable molecules that result from normal cell metabolism, smoking, pollution and UV irradiation. Research suggests that excess free radicals may contribute to pre-mature aging, wrinkling of the skin, cardiovascular disease and certain types of cancer. Antioxidant power of prunes can be attributed to high levels of hydroxycinnamic acids (types of phenolic compounds) they contain. Hydroxycinnamic acids present in prunes include neochlorogenic and chlorogenic acids, both of which appear to be highly effective at scavenging free radicals. In addition to hydroxycinnamic acids, prunes and plums are rich in anthocyanins, flavonoid pigments with strong antioxidant properties.

A major flaw that is bleeding for a long time. This can and has already run deep resentment in still water.
Dated - 1/6/2011 -- My opinion to Prime Ministry Lee office. 1) Hope not on raising CPF withdrawal age to 68 years old, wish it can stop at 65 years old, as many would be unable to enjoy their labour of love, much till reaching 85 and beyond. As new rule mentioned those payment will only be pay out monthly upon after reaching 65. 2) As there are many workers, (part-timer and old, old folks) would have fell out of the net (with or without CPF record to show) and also having to live on small amount earned, less than $1k or less. I hope govt can consider applying more effort to selective assistant to help those poverty poor, many do not have much CPF saving, less than for example $30k, some less than $10k (oneself can find out from your own PAP MPs or from Dr Liliy Neo). And finally today 3) My solution is to those who has reach 50 years or older, should be able to reach out to them by mean of arranging to educate themself with help from us at CC training center, not professional trainer, but from CPF trained Senior Officers. Starting with those about to reach 55 years old. |

Dietary restrictions vary depending on the stage of kidney disease
In early stages, may just need to restrict protein and sodium intake. If disease worsens, healthcare provider may recommend to limit foods high in potassium and phosphorus too. ?There isn?t a single eating plan for kidney disease since dietary requirements differ from patient to patient,? says Ms Peggy Tan, Dietitian, Tiong Bahru Community Health Centre. ?It's true for both patients on dialysis and patients on non-dialysis ? each patient has different dietary needs depending on the state of the condition.? A nutritious diet with sufficient calories and adequate amounts of vitamins, minerals, protein, carbohydrates, good fats and fluids can help kidney patients maintain a healthy weight, stay active and lead a productive life. Kidney diet: Limiting fluids, protein, potassium, phosphorus and sodium to prevent toxic build-up Fluids Water and other fluids are essential to the normal functioning of the body, e.g. maintaining blood volume, regulating body temperature, lubricating joints. Why need to limit fluids for kidney disease?. Too much fluid in your body can raise your blood pressure and cause swelling. It can also affect your lungs. Related article: 7 dietary changes that can help you control high blood pressure Protein Protein is an essential building block of the body, helping to build muscle and tissue, make hormones, enzymes and other body chemicals. Why you need to limit protein for kidney disease?. A build-up of protein waste can worsen kidney function. >Examples of high-protein foods -- Chicken, fish, beef, pork, eggs, dairy productsBeans and legumes, soy, nuts >Potassium -- Potassium is an essential mineral which the body needs for healthy muscles and heartbeat regulation. Why you need to limit potassium for kidney disease -- A build-up of potassium can cause an irregular heartbeat and muscle cramps. In some cases, levels of potassium may fall below normal, which can cause muscle weakness. >Examples of high-potassium foods -- Avocados, bananas, melons, oranges, prunes and raisins. Artichokes, spinach, potatoes, tomatoes, Beans (black, pinto), granola, brown rice >Phosphorus -- Phosphorus is a mineral that works with calcium to keep bones healthy. Why you need to limit phosphorus for kidney disease?. A build-up of phosphorus can cause weakness in bones. >Examples of high-phosphorus foods -- Wholegrain bread, oatmeal, bran cereal, Meat, poultry, fish, Sunflower seeds Related article: 6 ways you can help prevent kidney failure Sodium -- Sodium regulates the body?s water balance and blood volume. It also helps in the functioning of muscles and nerves. Why you need to limit sodium for kidney disease?. Too much sodium can cause swelling, raise your blood pressure, and make your kidneys and heart work harder. Examples of high-sodium foods -- Sauces and salad dressings, Cured meats, Salted nuts and snacks, Instant soups and canned foods, Fast foods Are low-sodium salt substitutes suitable for kidney disease? -- No. Low sodium salt substitutes are not suitable for kidney disease. The sodium normally found in salt is replaced by potassium, which may also build up in people with reduced kidney function. ?Salt substitutes are safe for people with normal kidney function, but people with chronic kidney disease should avoid them,? says Ms Peggy Tan. ?You should consult a dietitian for a suitable eating plan if you have chronic kidney disease.? happy reading... https://sg.yahoo.com/news/5-things-change-diet-kidney-165024026.html |

Australians get hepatitis A from Chinese berries AFP News- 14 hours ago
Nine Australians have contracted hepatitis A linked with eating contaminated berries from China. Tmporter apologising Tuesday as the food scare spreads. Manufacturer Patties Foods has recalled four products including the Nanna's and Creative Gourmet brands of mixed berries and Nanna's raspberries after infections in Victoria, Queensland and New South Wales. They are all sold national wide, packed in China. The hepatitis A cases are linked with Nanna's Frozen Mixed Berries, with three other brands pulled off shelves as a precaution. "Hepatitis A virus infection is uncommon and normally associated with travel to countries affected by endemic hepatitis A," said Rosemary Lester, chief health officer in Victoria state, where there is three cases. "The only common link between the cases is consumption of this product". Poor hygiene among Chinese workers and potentially contaminated water supplies in China are likely to have caused the outbreak, experts said. "In this situation, most likely culprit is poor hygiene at site of production," said Enzo Palombo, a food health and safety expert. "Hepatitis A is transmitted by the so-called 'faecal-oral' route -- an infected person sheds the virus in their faeces which then contaminates food or water. "The virus either directly contaminates the food through a food handler not washing their hands properly or it could come from contaminated water used to wash the berries." Hepatitis A is a viral disease that affects the liver, causing abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, fatigue and jaundice. It has an incubation period of up to 50 days. "As a company, we apologise to our consumers and customers for the concern and distress this is causing," said Patties Foods chief executive Steven Chaur. teeth53 thot - Food for thought. Don ever think China fruits is save for comsuming. |

SINGAPORE: There has been a promising breakthrough in cancer research, as a vaccine trial being conducted in Singapore shows no major side effects on the four patients with Stage 4 cancer.
This is the first time it is being tested in humans. The vaccination is targeted more specifically at those with lung, breast, prostate, colon or ovarian cancer. This is because it encodes one of the most common proteins that is expressed on these particular cancers. It is a form of immunotherapy, which works by boosting the body's immune system, so it can then attack the cancer-causing protein in the patient's body. http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/health/early-results-of-cancer/1606284.html |

http://healthychild.org/cell-phones-radiation-your-childs-health/ Children are growing up in a sea of radio-frequency radiatio In America today, about twenty million children under the age of fourteen have cellphones. Increasingly, scientists and policy makers in tech-savvy nations like Israel and Finland are concerned that the ways these devices are used imperil the brain. IPhone plastic baby rattle case protects the phone&rsquo s glass screen from cracking when chomped on by teething babies, but does not protect the infant&rsquo s young brain from the phone&rsquo s pulsed digital microwave radiation. This proliferation of wireless gadgets overlooks a critical health issue for pregnant women, men who wish to father healthy children, and children themselves: non-ionizing or microwave radiation damages the brain and sperm of experimental animals. A cellphone is a two-way microwave radio with intermittent and destabilizing pulses, unlike microwave ovens that steadily operate at the same frequencies. The weak and erratic microwave radiation from cellphones and tablets cannot directly break the bonds that hold molecules together, but does disrupt DNA, weakens the brain&rsquo s protective barrier, and releases highly reactive and damaging free radicals. A five-year-old&rsquo s brain, healthy or otherwise, is encased in a thinner skull and contains more fluid than an adult brain. The bone marrow of a child&rsquo s head absorbs 10 times more radiation than an adult, while those of infants and toddlers will absorb even more. Few parents appreciate that infant apps like One Fish Two Fish, Peekaboo Farm, and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star may do much more than amuse and distract babies. American Academy of Pediatrics cautions children need more real face time than screen time. The capacity to learn how to tell the difference between mommy and me and to learn to think about the other requires holding, touching, smelling, seeing, and hearing real live people. This cannot be supplanted by intoxicating technological bells and whistles. Every major well-designed study found that used cellphones regularly for half an hour a day or more for a decade have a doubled risk of brain cancer, and those who began using cellphones as teenagers have four to five times more disease in less than 10 years. Exposure to radiation from cellphones may also play a role for growing spate of serious problems, including attention and hearing deficits, autism, behavioral changes, insomnia, ringing of the ears or tinnitus, Parkinsons, Alzheimer&rsquo s, and a broad array of disturbances to the nervous system. Most disconcerting are findings from the highly respected Prof. Nesrin Seyhan, the NATO-supported founding chairman of the Biophysics Dept at Gazi University, Ankara, Turkey, whose studies repeatedly show prenatally exposed rats and rabbits have fewer brain cells. Studies show those survive sustain more damage to their brain, liver, reproductive system, and eyes. Other research carried out dozen laboratory collaborative in  EU, reflex project found exposures to cellphone radiation directly impaired human brain cells. Despite highly publicized charges of fraud against that work, reflex project has been exonerated and others have since independently confirmed their findings. Experimental work completed by teams working with two distinguished experts in male reproductive health, Professor Ashok Agarwal of the Cleveland Clinic and Sir Robert John Aitken of Australia&rsquo s Newcastle University, have shown that cellphone radiation-exposed human sperm die three times faster, swim significantly more poorly, become more deformed, and develop significantly more damage to their DNA. With one in five couples having problems reproducing when chose to do so, wisdom of fine print warnings that come with all smartphones to not keep phones in the pocket and avoid contact with the pregnant abdomen or those of teenagers should become standard medical advice. There is no known safe dose standard of cellphone radiation for pregnant women, their developing babies, men who wish to become fathers, or for young children. All safety warnings for cellphones (e.g., keep 2.54 inches from the abdomen) are modeled on a very large fellow with a big head who talks less than half an hour a day. The average toddler&rsquo s head weighs about half as much as the one for whom standards have been set. Cellphones are just one source for microwave radiation exposure. iPads and other wireless tablet systems emit radiation as well, although the former comes with automatic proximity sensors that reduce radiation whenever the device comes close to the body. The safety material that comes with an iPad recommends users hold it eight inches from an adult body&mdash a distance far greater than most toddlers&rsquo arms. Yet nowadays even babies and toddlers are learning to read from wired devices and falling asleep to white noise played from phones placed under their pillows and connected to wireless routers. What can you do to protect yourself from radiation emitted from high tech gadgets? When it comes to using electronic devices, those hidden safety warnings have it right, so remember: distance is your friend. &bull Don&rsquo t hold a cellphone directly up to your head. Use a headset or speakerphone to talk on the phone. &bull Pregnant women should keep cellphones away from their abdomen and men who wish to become fathers should never keep phones on in their pocket. &bull Don&rsquo t allow children to play with or use your cellphone. Older children should use a headset when talking on a cellphone. &bull Turn off your wireless router at night to minimize exposure to radiation. &bull Eat green vegetables and get a good night&rsquo s sleep in a dark room to enhance natural repair of DNA that may have been damaged by radiation.
