UPDATE: March 2010 Bacterial “Signatures” stay on people's Keyboards Scientist found out that bacterial signatures from users stay quite a while on computer keyboards and mice. When the testing is prepared for easy use it can help law enforcement in identifying suspects. Skin bacteria left behind on keyboards and computer mice provide the identify the objects’ users. There are more than 80,000 man-made chemicals in use in the U.S. But only about 200 have been required to be tested for safety. A blood test of every American alive today, including newborn babies, shows hundreds of chemicals flowing through our blood. We work hard to strengthen America's toxic chemicals standards.

How do you recognize a potential infection with the swine flu? Basically, the symptoms of the swine flu with those of "normal" flu (influenza) are comparable. Below is a list of the main symptoms of the H1N1 flu:strong feeling of illnessfever headache body aches cough sore throat chills inflamed nasal mucous membranes nausea and vomiting no appetite fatigue What can you do against swine flu = H1N1?When you get symptoms of illness within a week of traveling, go to your doctor as soon as possible.Be sure to tell your doctor about your recent travel and suggest testing for influenza. Wash your hands as often as possible after contact with surfaces that are used not only by you!! Use paper tissue when you need to touch door knobs, toilette doors. Avoid shaking hands. If you have touched unknown surfaces, avoid touching your mouth, eyes, nose. A small bottle of hand sanitizer can be helpful to kill the virus. Avoid close contact with those who are ill Stay home when sick. Cover your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing. If you touched things, others have touched before, avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth Sanitize and wash your hands frequently. Health officials say people have a better chance of getting struck by lightning — 1 in 700,000 chance — than they do of getting severe side effects from a flu shot. ----------------------------------------------------- Our food We have warned our members for a long time about contaminated food:MercuryAntibiotics Hormones Perchlorate Pesticide Fungicide Lead and much more is found in our food supply. We inform you by email what to look for how to be prepared give you tips and warnings. Weed killer can kill your baby! One of the nation’s most widely used herbicides has been found to exceed federal safety limits in drinking water in four states, but water customers have not been told and the EPA protection Agency has not published the results. An analysis found that yearly average levels of atrazine in drinking water violated the federal standard at least ten times in communities in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and Kansas, all states where farmers rely heavily on the herbicide. Some states do not check at all. More than 40 water systems showed spikes in atrazine levels that normally would have triggered automatic notification of customers. In none of those cases were residents alerted. In interviews, EPA officials did not dispute the data but said they do not consider atrazine a health hazard??? Atrazine is banned in Germany for 19 years, because it has killed fish and is causing birth defects with under-developed heart and organs. So, if you are pregnant or have a weak immune system, check your water quality - ask your water board. ----------------------------------------- What has our corn-ethanol production to do with Antibiotics in our meat? 1/3 of the corn that goes into ethanol will be 'distillers grains'. Finding a high-value use for this byproduct is necessary to the corn ethanol project. The fuel’s energy balance is not very good - corn-ethanol production delivers little net energy compared to how much is consumed producing it. What happens to the byproduct: It is used as animal feed —as a replacement for corn in the rations of livestock. As ethanol production boomed starting in 2007, distillers grains flowed into cow feedlots. Distillers grains use might have been contributing to a nasty spate of E. Coli 0157 in beef - how - why? The ethanol process relies on antibiotics to control the fermentation process—and distillers grains carry heavy traces of them into feedlot rations. FDA has tested distillers grains samples and found them to contain significant levels of antibiotics. Ethanol producers use penicillin and popular antibiotic. What happens when you feed a cow with antibiotics? What happens when a human takes in antibiotics with food? Why should we look for mercury in our food? Can a child tolerate more or less chemicals? What chemicals are in many drinking water supplies? Too much weight is a big health problem for humans. As a rule of thumbs: When you eat more than 2000 calories a day you will gain weight..
