Please be aware that for most, the risks far outweigh the benefits as there are plenty of alternative effective strategies to eliminate heartburn without serious side effects.
Previous research2,3,4,5,6,7 clearly shows that proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) such as Nexium, Prilosec, and Prevacid, are severely overprescribed and misused.
Indeed, PPIs are among the most widely prescribed drugs today, with annual sales of about $14 billion8--this despite the fact that they were never intended to treat heartburn in the first place.

It has now been openly declared that the DTaP vaccine is causing the uptick in whooping cough.
Out of the hypotheses, asymptomatic shedding was the final detectable problem. However, the authors have more to say on it, some of which sounds very contradictory coming from researchers who have proven that the mechanism of the acellular DTaP is, in part responsible for the spread of a dangerous bacterium.
Comment: Despite the obvious staring them in the face, vaccine advocates refuse to acknowledge that the vaccines are ineffective, they transmit the very diseases they were designed to eradicate, and the side effects are often life threatening.

This amounts to a one-in-68 children rate of autism, which the London School of Economics projects is costing taxpayers around $54 billion annually. This is up from about $2 billion in 2001, demonstrating the immense toll this harrowing disease is costing the public.
But even these figures may be too low, warns Age of Autism, as they disguise the actual number of autism cases among older students, while focusing more on autism rates among younger students. The actual present rate of autism in the UK, reports John Stone, is probably much closer to one in 30 students, based on data supplied by the Scottish government.
Russian Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich
Dvorkovich stated that the good quality of the soil across Russia's land will allow the country to use other technological advances in agriculture, but GMOs won't be one of them.
"Russia has chosen a different path. We will not use these [GM] technologies," he said.Due to Russia refusing GM seed, Russian products will be "one of the cleanest in the world," according to Dvorkovich.
They began to have serious new medical conditions shortly after using Gardasil, so they would go to the doctor. According to Luise Juellund, the vast majority of doctors would tell them the HPV vaccine has no serious side effects and offer psychological problems as an alternative reason for the new symptoms.
Luise should know, her daughter is one of the seriously injured and cannot be left home alone because of daily seizures and hour-long periods of unconsciousness. After disclosing the new symptoms she was experiencing after Gardasil, she was referred for psychological evaluation. Psychiatrists cleared her and she has now been diagnosed with POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome) a suspected side effect of HPV vaccines.
Comment: Dr. Chris Shaw, Professor in the department of Neuroscience, Ophthalmology, and Visual Sciences at the University of British Columbia had this to say about the HPV vaccine: "It is a vaccine that's been highly marketed, the benefits are over-hyped, and the dangers are underestimated." Dr. Shaw is only one of a long list of doctors and scientists who are now voicing their concerns about the dangers of this toxic vaccine.

Change in functional connectivity for the experimental group of autism spectrum disorder participants as a result of the reading intervention. The functional connectivity of the Broca’s area with the rest of the brain and the change in connectivity from pre-to-post intervention during resting state show statistically significant changes in connectivity in the left hemisphere. The scale (right) represents significance in terms of T threshold.

"This study is the first to do reading intervention with ASD children using brain imaging techniques, and the findings reflect the plasticity of the brain," said Rajesh Kana, Ph.D., associate professor of psychology in the UAB College of Arts and Sciences and the senior author on this paper. "Some parents think, if their child is 8 or 10 years old when diagnosed, the game is lost. What I stress constantly is the importance of intervention, and the magic of intervention, on the brain in general and brain connectivity in particular."
Families taking part in the study received the intensive intervention -- which was four hours a day, five days a week, for a total of 200 hours of face-to-face instruction -- free of charge, says Kana.

Another example of this "conscious avoidance" has occurred recently. In June, at the annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO, possibly the most prestigious meeting of cancer researchers), a Stanford medical student (Ange Wang) presented her (and colleagues') evaluation of lung cancer and smoking histories contained in the vast Women's Health Initiative (WHI) database. Their conclusion: among the 76,000+ profiles with all the requisite information, "among women who had never smoked, exposure to passive smoking overall, and to most categories of passive smoking, did not statistically significantly increase cancer risk." The news report of this presentation only now has appeared on the website of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute (JNCI) — and as of today, no media have paid attention to either the original report or the current news item.
Comment: One has to wonder why the American Council on Science and Health would publish an article discussing the active avoidance by the media in discussing the over-hyped dangers of second-hand smoking on the one hand, yet on the other hand call for "continued, strong anti-smoking measures." Perhaps they should do a little more research themselves on the benefits of smoking, its continued demonization in the scientific community and then think twice about joining the chorus of anti-smoking cries:

"The pharmaceutical companies are an amoral bunch. They're not a benevolent association. So they are highly unlikely to donate large amounts of money without strings attached. Once one is dancing with the devil, you don't always get to call the steps of the dance."—A psychiatrist, quoted in the Boston Globe, 2002.
The New England Journal of Medicine, under the editorship of Marcia Angell, MD, published a study in the May 18, 2000 issue whose principle author was the chief of Brown University's Department of Psychiatry. The academic psychiatrist had reportedly made $500,000 in one year doing consultancy "work" for various psycho-pharmaceutical companies that marketed antidepressant drugs. In editing the article, Dr Angell discovered that there wasn't enough room to print all the various co-author's conflict of interest disclosures. Because of space limitations, Angell put the full list on the website rather than in the hard copy issue.
