February 22, 2011 Research has shown that OTC cough and cold medicines have led to poisoning or death in kids under age 2. As a result, the FDA said in 2008 that OTC cough and cold products should not be given to children in this age group.
January 31, 2011 The debate is raging on how to help sick people. I do not hear a lot about how to help people not to get sick.
In the long run this is the way to cut cost.
About health care…. again. And about personal responsibility.
Here is the plan.
Get educated in what you eat, when to eat and how often you eat. Watch what you drink.
Information is available – watch the movies: Sicko, Food. Inc, Sweet Misery, World according to Monsanto
Exercise regularly. Why do some people take pills every day but neglect to exercise?
I would ban the escalators in the USA for the first three floors. Use your legs. You legs are designed for it.
I have noticed that when I go to the gym, people go up the escalator, work out and go down the escalator.
Only in America.
Caring, well-meaning parents drive their kids a half a block to the school bus stop, kids sit in the bus, sit in school, go back home sitting on a bus, and their caring parents drive them to the TV or computer.
Bus exhaust pollutes the air we breathe. We can stop buying Arab oil if we just use common sense and use our body’s abilities to move by itself. And we would save a bunch on health care because, if we would not be so lazy, we would have health not sickness. And because we would get healthier, we will not be stressed out so much about health insurance cost.
Trust yourself more then your doctor. I meet my doctor in the gym. Every time he seems to be surprised that I am in a better shape then he is. Why is he surprised? Have you seen doctors that look worse then their patients? Next appointment, pay attention to what shape your doctor is. Does your doctor look healthy? If not – change your doctor.
How can doctors help others if they cannot help themselves?
Eat in moderation
Do not “pig out”. You are supposed to enjoy your meal, not destroy it. Do not worry – you will have food to eat when you will get hungry.
Vote with your wallet. Do not buy junk, especially for kids. Sugar drives them crazy. It is not ADD or ADHD. It is sugar and lifestyle. Kids need to exercise. They need to use their energy. It is OK if they get a few bumps and bruises. Our kids get sick all the time by being around other kids – colds, ear infections, pink eye, etc. We understand the dangers and are used to it.
But why are we afraid of bumps and bruises? Bumps and bruises do not create chronic diseases, constant colds and infections do.
Because if we do, we are not any better then chickens in one of the industrialized farms.
The difference is, we have a choice.
September 19, 2010 It’s back-to-school season—the time of year when, for many families, the ABCs meet ADHD. It’s never easy for kids with attention-
deficit/hyperactivity disorder, especially when confronted with new routines and new academic challenges.

CHICAGO – The lives of nearly 900 babies would be saved each year, along with billions of dollars, if 90 percent of U.S. women breast-fed their babies for the first six months of life, a cost analysis says.
The findings suggest that there are hundreds of deaths and many more costly illnesses each year from health problems that breast-feeding may help prevent. These include stomach viruses, ear infections, asthma, juvenile diabetes, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome and even childhood leukemia.
The magnitude of health benefits linked to breast-feeding is vastly underappreciated, said lead author Dr. Melissa Bartick, an internist and instructor at Harvard Medical School. Breast-feeding is sometimes considered a lifestyle choice, but Bartick calls it a public health issue.
The $13 billion in estimated losses due to the low breast-feeding rate includes an economists’ calculation partly based on lost potential lifetime wages — $10.56 million per death.
The methods were similar to a widely cited 2001 government report that said $3.6 billion could be saved each year if 50 percent of mothers breast-fed their babies for six months. Medical costs have climbed since then and breast-feeding rates have increased only slightly.
About 43 percent of U.S. mothers do at least some breast-feeding for six months, but only 12 percent follow government guidelines recommending that babies receive only breast milk for six months.
Dr. Larry Gray, a University of Chicago pediatrician, called the analysis compelling and said it’s reasonable to strive for 90 percent compliance.
The pediatrics academy says babies should be given a chance to start breast-feeding immediately after birth. Bartick said that often doesn’t happen, and at many hospitals newborns are offered formula even when their mothers intend to breast-feed.
If you have to breast feed some supplements may help to keep your child healthy.
March 22, 2010 The debate is raging on how to help sick people. I do not hear a lot about how to help people not to get sick.
Exercise regularly. Why do some people take pills every day but neglect to exercise? It is much cheaper than paying for medications and doctors.
We can stop buying Arab oil if we just used common sense and use our body’s abilities to move by itself.

There are many misconceptions about a baby’s bottom:
Having a diaper rash is a normal part of being a baby. There are many ways you can limit the amount of rash, but from time to time it will flare up again.
Start with ultra sensitive skin, add the chemicals and moisture of urine and stools, cover the area with a diaper that rubs back and forth, and you have diaper rash. This damaged skin is susceptible to the invasion of bacteria and yeast, which can make the rash worse.

This is very useful for us. But considering all the chemical around us and the difficalty of maintaining the perfect diet we use natural supplements and vitamins.
September 19, 2009 1. Junk food makers spend billions advertising unhealthy foods to kids.
According to the Federal Trade Commission, food makers spend some $1.6 billion annually to reach children through the traditional media as well the Internet, in-store advertising, and sweepstakes. An article published in 2006 in the Journal of Public Health Policy puts the number as high as $10 billion annually. Promotions often use cartoon characters or free giveaways to entice kids into the junk food fold. PepsiCo has pledged that it will advertise only “Smart Spot” products to children under 12.
We need to fix this problem!
Children often have very particular tastes in food and are unlikely to eat a wide variety of items. It is crucial that children in need of digestive, metabolic or neurological support consume a specially formulated multi-vitamin.
“Spectrum”(TM) are the most effective vitamins and supplements for kids in Isotonic form. Testimonials are amazing!

2. The studies that food producers support tend to minimize health concerns associated with their products.
In fact, according to a review of hundreds of studies that looked at the health effects of milk, juice, and soda, the likelihood of conclusions favorable to the industry was several times higher among industry-sponsored research than studies that received no industry funding. If a study is funded by the industry, it may be closer to advertising than science.
