The Perils of Polypharmacy: Taking More Pharma Drugs Increases Risk of Death
A new study published in the Journal of the American Geriatric Society describes how older people taking multiple pharmaceutical drugs face a significantly greater risk of frailty, disability and death. Providing further shocking evidence of the dangers of "polypharmacy", the researchers found that each additional medication added to a patient's regimen was associated with a 22% increased risk of going from a state of robust health to dying during the period of the study.
Our Official Video Messages for World Cancer Day 2016
The World Health Organization – the WHO – has proclaimed February 4 as world cancer day in order to promote worldwide awareness for one of the big unresolved problems of mankind – the epidemic of cancer. While every effort to create worldwide awareness about the need to end this epidemic should be applauded, there are serious doubts that the World Health Organization is able to help accomplish this goal. Why? Today, almost one third of the money financing the WHO's operations comes from multinational pharmaceutical companies. As 'return' for this 'investment' into the WHO, the drug industry expects a huge 'return on their investments' from this world body. Thus, the WHO is no longer independent but its programs and activities – including 'world cancer day' – essentially turn into marketing campaigns for patented chemical drugs.
Elite Athletes Take Vitamin D Supplements
to Maximize Performance
A recent article published in the Wall Street Journal described how professional and college sports teams think they have found a cutting-edge advantage in one of the most basic nutrients: vitamin D. With scientific research having proven that an optimum supply of vitamin D is a crucial factor for our health, and with deficiency well-known to be widespread, the sporting world's newfound advocacy of the "sunshine vitamin" follows the growing trend of health experts recommending a supplementary intake for everyone to support cellular metabolism.
Pharma Drug Trial in France Results in
Brain Damage and Death
A recent medical trial in France has left one person dead, three others with possibly irreversible brain damage, and a grim reminder of the dangers of drugs. The study, carried out by Biotrial, a pharmaceutical research firm, was using healthy volunteers to determine the maximum tolerability of an experimental painkiller manufactured by Bial, a Portuguese drug maker. In return for their taking part in the two-week test, the volunteers are said to have each been paid a fee of 1,900 euros (US $2,070). With two more men also said to have been hospitalized, and all six participants having taken the drug at the highest dosage used in the trial, the outcome has been described as the worst tragedy of its kind to have taken place in France.
Mass media ignores conflicts of interest in pro-pharma high blood pressure study
A recent study claims that many more people should be taking "intensive blood pressure-lowering" drugs to reduce their risk of heart attacks and strokes. Published in The Lancet medical journal in the form of a meta-analysis of 19 trials, the paper essentially asserts that all people deemed to be at risk should be given drug medication – even if their current blood pressure level is normal and irrespective of the danger of severe side-effects. Significantly, however, in its promotion of the study, the mass media failed to draw attention to the fact that half of the researchers who carried it out had connections to multinational drug companies or pro-pharmaceutical research interests.
Open Letter from the Dr. Rath Health Foundation to Members of the Podemos Political Party in Spain

With their recent election the people of Spain have written history and created a signal of hope for the preservation of democracy in Europe. They have identified multi-national corporate interests, and their masterplan to build a corporate dictatorship, as the main cause of the current crisis across Europe. Moreover, they have also exposed the Brussels EU as the politburo of these interests; the German petrochemical, chemical and pharmaceutical cartel – The Oil and Drug Cartel – as its driving force and primary economic profiteers; and Angela Merkel as its political enforcer. The public statement of Pablo Iglesias on the eve of the election summarized this analysis for the world to see: "Spain will never again be the periphery of Germany. We will restore the meaning of sovereignty."
Progress towards the natural control of diseases:
An end-of-year message from Dr. Rath
The central core of the work of our Foundation involves fighting to improve human health, with the ultimate goal of saving millions of lives. In this respect, any improvement in human health has to start with science. This year, in the field of cardiovascular research, I am pleased to report that we have moved forward scientifically in a very significant way. Building on work I began over a quarter of a century ago, we have reached a point in history where the stage is now set for the dream of abolishing heart disease as a cause of human mortality to become a reality.
Freedom of speech and the communication of truthful scientific information
In George Orwell's classic novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, Winston Smith, the main character, defines freedom as being the right to say that two plus two makes four. "If that is granted," he says, "all else follows." In a notable parallel to Orwell's observation regarding the nature of totalitarian regimes, government restrictions on our right to communicate the scientific facts about natural therapies impose senselessly strict limits on what we can and cannot say. But when, eventually, we reach the point that these constraints on our freedom of speech no longer exist, so far as our goal of Health for All is concerned all else will inevitably follow.
Breakthrough towards the natural control of disease - Dr. Rath webinar, 9 December 2015
In this webinar, Dr. Rath summarizes the breakthrough nature of the cellular medicine approach to medicine and stresses the importance of the scientific proof we now have that cardiovascular disease is an early form of the vitamin C deficiency disease, scurvy.
German Protestant Church promotes vitamin-rich nutrition in developing world: Recognition of Dr. Rath Foundation's work in global fight against hunger and disease
All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident. -- Arthur Schopenhauer.
In a welcome development, we were recently pleased to learn that the German Protestant Church has begun promoting vitamin-rich nutrition for the developing world. Previously better known for its advocacy of toxic antiretroviral (ARV) drugs for HIV and AIDS in poor countries, the church's 'Bread for the World' campaign is calling for an end to undernourishment and malnutrition. Significantly, its public recognition of the important roles micronutrients can play in the prevention of diseases came only two months after the recent annual conference of the Dr. Rath Health Alliance in Koblenz, Germany. At that meeting we notably reported on the latest progress of the Movement of Life's 'End Heart Disease: Plant a Fruit Tree' campaign, with particular reference to its relevance in the developing world, as well as the roles of vitamin C and other micronutrients in the prevention of cardiovascular disease.
World AIDS Day 2015:
Growing Cobwebs And Ignoring Science
Since 1988, December 1st has been designated as World AIDS Day. One of eight annual global public health campaigns marked by the World Health Organization (WHO), the main focus of this year's initiative was "emphasizing that expanding antiretroviral (ARV) therapy to all people living with HIV is key to ending the AIDS epidemic within a generation." Apparently, it would seem the officials in charge of this campaign are unaware of the large volume of scientific studies now documenting the effectiveness of vitamins and other micronutrients in controlling HIV and AIDS. Either that, or they are deliberately misleading the 35 million people worldwide reported to be living with HIV/AIDS, as well as the 1.5 million people who die each year from AIDS-related illnesses.
Holding Human Health to Ransom: Pharma Industry's Annual Global Sales Forecast to Reach $1.4 Trillion by 2020
With criticism of soaring drug prices continuing to grow, health data firm IMS Health has forecast that the pharmaceutical industry's annual global sales will increase by 30 percent to reach a dizzying 1.4 trillion dollars by 2020. Worryingly, the forecast furthermore predicts that by the same year more than half the world's population will be living in countries where drug use will exceed one dose per person per day. Driven by the skyrocketing prices of new drugs, scandalous price rises for existing ones and disease-mongering propaganda that attempts to place entire populations into at-risk groups requiring drug treatment, there can now be no doubt that the "business with disease" is financially unsustainable. Unless mankind is therefore able to free itself from the strangulating grip of the Pharma Cartel, national healthcare systems will become increasingly at risk of bankruptcy.
Video of Dr. Aleksandra Niedzwiecki's webinar on natural control of cancer now online for free viewing!
Following the special feature webinar on the natural control of cancer that was recently presented by Dr. Aleksandra Niedzwiecki, we're pleased to announce that a video recording of this is now available online for free viewing on our WebEx platform. Dr. Niedzwiecki is the Head of Research at the Dr. Rath Research Institute in California and co-author of the groundbreaking Victory Over Cancer book. In this fascinating webinar, she summarized the Cellular Medicine approach to controlling cancer and answered some of the most commonly asked questions on this subject.
Study proves chondroitin sulphate better for knee osteoarthritis than multi-billion dollar anti-inflammatory drug
Results presented at a recent annual meeting of the American Academy of Rheumatology show that supplements of chondroitin sulfate, a natural substance that is an important structural component of cartilage, are significantly better than celecoxib, a multi-billion dollar anti-inflammatory drug, in reducing long term progression of knee osteoarthritis. Carried out by researchers from Canada over a period of two years, the study found that, unlike celecoxib, chondroitin sulfate was able to slow down the progression of osteoarthritis by reducing the loss of cartilage. Noting that this is the first time the superiority of chondroitin sulfate over celecoxib has been demonstrated in a study of this type, the researchers concluded that their findings have important implications regarding the usefulness of the supplement for long term management of knee osteoarthritis and its impact on disease outcome.
Public trust in chemotherapy for cancer collapsing: scientific orthodoxy beginning to wake up to natural approaches
Image by Russell Scalf [Public domain], via Wikimedia Commons
As Dr. Rath has recently pointed out, the international attention being given to Ty Bollinger's 'Truth About Cancer' documentary is a wake-up call to the world's political decision takers. In this situation, the blatantly false claims that the pharmaceutical and medical status quo has made about chemotherapy and radiation as treatments for cancer are no longer credible. With public trust in the efficacy of these toxic approaches collapsing, people are increasingly turning to natural health approaches that can block all key mechanisms that make cancer a deadly disease. Promisingly, therefore, a recent study from the United States provides further evidence that, in the scientific arena, the orthodoxy is beginning to wake up and take notice.
New research shows vitamin D supplements can lower blood pressure and improve exercise performance
A new pilot study from Scotland has shown that taking vitamin D can lower blood pressure and improve exercise performance. Carried out by researchers from Queen Margaret University in Edinburgh and presented at this year's Society for Endocrinology annual conference, the study notes that volunteers given the supplements for two weeks were able to cycle for longer with less exertion than those given placebo pills. Commenting on the results, researcher Dr Raquel Revuelta Iniesta said they suggest that "taking vitamin D supplements can improve fitness levels and lower cardiovascular risk factors such as blood pressure."
New study suggests medication errors and adverse drug events are commonplace in surgical operations

A new study measuring the incidence of medication errors and adverse drug events during the perioperative period – immediately before, during or right after a surgical procedure – suggests that mistakes or adverse events occur in around 50 percent of operations and in 5 percent of drug administrations. Examining 277 randomly selected operations conducted at Massachusetts General Hospital in the United States, the study, which will appear in Anesthesiology, the official medical journal of the American Society of Anesthesiologists, found that a third of the errors uncovered resulted in adverse drug events or harm to patients.
Micronutrient deficiency: A global problem that requires a globally sustainable solution
Image: By Kounosu (Own work (own picture)) [GFDL or CC BY-SA 3.0], via Wikimedia Commons
An eye-opening report in The Times of India recently described how 75 percent of the Indian population are believed to be deficient in several key vitamins. Summarizing a study carried out across four different areas of India, the article explained how alarming levels of vitamin deficiency have shown up among the country's population. Notably, therefore, in an unexpected parallel, an award-winning analysis of the American population has found that not only do large portions of people in the United States have too low an intake of micronutrients, they are not even obtaining sufficient amounts when using dietary supplements. As such, with the primary cause of today's most common chronic diseases now known to be an inadequate supply to our bodies of essential micronutrients, taken together these two studies confirm that micronutrient deficiency is a global problem that requires a globally sustainable solution.
Scientific research increasingly confirming the health benefits of organic food
A new study conducted in the United States has shown that switching from conventionally grown fruits and vegetables to produce grown organically, even just for a few days, significantly reduces the levels of pesticides in children's bodies. Examining 40 children between 3 and 6 years of age, researchers from the Center for Environmental Research and Children's Health at UC Berkeley found that an organic diet quickly lowered their levels of several pesticides by between one-quarter and one-half. Consistent with other research reporting similar findings, the study is the latest in a long line of scientific investigations confirming the health benefits of organic food.
New study shows vitamin D3 supplements help postmenopausal women increase muscle strength and reduce risk of falls
As many women have learned over the years when visiting their doctors, conventional medicine essentially sees the loss of muscle strength that occurs with ageing as untreatable and inevitable.
After the age of 30, human beings typically lose 3-8 percent of their muscle mass each decade. Over time this results in a decrease in muscle strength and a consequent increase in falls and mortality.
However, a new study of postmenopausal women from Brazil has shown that vitamin D3 supplements can significantly increase muscle strength, protect against muscle loss and reduce the risk of falls. Impressively, the researchers observed these benefits in women even as late as 12 or more years after menopause.
Putting war before human health:
World's weekly military expenditure exceeds annual cost of ending global hunger
At the opening of this week's United Nations General Assembly meeting, the focus was on the Sustainable Development Summit in which world leaders committed to 17 new goals intended to make our planet a better place. Predictably, a great deal of prominence was given to the highly laudable aim of ending global hunger by 2030. But with around 795 million people, or one in nine of the 7.3 billion population of planet Earth, still suffering from chronic undernourishment, the impression given by much of the mass media is that achieving this objective would be a gargantuan and expensive task necessitating the widespread adoption of GM crops. When one looks behind this deceptive analysis, however, a very different reality emerges.
Don't be distracted by the $750 pharma pill scandal: Drugs won't solve the global healthcare crisis – at ANY price!
The reputation and credibility of the pharma industry sank to a new low this week with news that the price of Daraprim (Pyrimethamine), an anti-parasitic drug that is on the World Health Organization's list of essential medicines, had been raised from $13.50 to $750 per tablet. Marketed since the 1950s, the drug was acquired last month by Turing Pharmaceuticals, a start-up company run by Martin Shkreli, a former hedge fund manager. Astonishingly, with even the global mass media seemingly aghast at this latest case of pharma greed, Shkreli shamelessly attempted to portray the 5000% price rise as "altruistic".
Dutch researchers plan major study using supplements to treat anger management problems in prisoners
Image: By Christopher [CC BY-SA 2.0], via flickr.com
In a cutting edge experiment, researchers in the Netherlands are preparing to start a major study in which prisoners with anger management problems will be given food supplements to determine whether improving nutritional status can reduce aggressive and antisocial behaviour. Building on previous work done in this area, inmates in five Dutch jails and two youth detention centres will be given vitamins, minerals and fish oil from early next year. If the approach proves successful, the country's justice ministry plans to expand the program and offer the supplements to further prisoners with violent tendencies.
New England Journal of Medicine article calls for US government to require labeling of GM foods
A recent perspective published in the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) argues that the United States government should change its position and require labeling of genetically modified (GM) foods. Entitled 'GMOs, Herbicides and Public Health', the article points out that sharp increases have taken place in the amounts and numbers of chemical herbicides applied to GM crops and that still further increases – the largest in a generation – are scheduled to occur in the next few years. With GM crops now being the agricultural products most heavily treated with herbicides, the authors state they believe that the time has come to thoroughly reconsider all aspects of the safety of plant biotechnology.
German diplomat says Bush regime considered using nuclear weapons against Afghanistan after 9/11
In a dramatic development, a senior German diplomat, Michael Steiner, has told Spiegel magazine that, in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks in the United States, the George W. Bush regime had considered using nuclear weapons against Afghanistan. Stating that the U.S. government had "played through all the possibilities," he categorically confirmed that the papers for such a plan had been written. What this therefore tells us is that Dr. Rath's analysis of the risks of nuclear war occurring in the immediate post-9/11 years, as outlined in his Open Letters at that time, was absolutely correct.
Evidence mounting that lack of vitamin D may increase risk of developing multiple sclerosis
A new study published in the online journal Public Library of Science (PLOS) Medicine has added to the mounting evidence that a lack of vitamin D may increase the risk of developing multiple sclerosis. Analyzing data on over 14 thousand people suffering from the disease and around 24 thousand without it, the researchers found that people with a genetic tendency to vitamin D deficiency were twice as likely to develop the neurological disorder. With vitamin D insufficiency now known to be widespread and supplementation being both safe and cost-effective, the researchers say their findings may have important public health implications.
Drug industry earning $1 TRILLION a year and still not curing chronic diseases: Time to make natural preventive healthcare approaches a human right!
Healthcare industry analysts IMS Health recently reported that global spending on pharmaceutical drugs exceeded an astonishing $1 trillion in 2014. Equating to around 1.3% of global GDP, this means that the amount of money earned by the drug industry in a single year now exceeds the GDPs of all but the world's 15 wealthiest countries. Inevitably, therefore, at the very highest political levels, an income like this buys a vast amount of power and influence. As such, with drug industry annual earnings forecast to increase still further to $1.3 trillion by 2018, the need to move away from this unsustainable model and establish a new healthcare system, based upon scientific breakthroughs in the areas of nutritional and Cellular Medicine, has never been greater.
A this-is-not-rocket-science finding: Terminal cancer patients who don't have chemotherapy have better quality of life than those who do
Providing further evidence of the blind alley that orthodox approaches to cancer treatment are now lost in, a new study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) has confirmed that chemotherapy does not extend life for cancer patients diagnosed as terminal. Far from being of benefit, the researchers found the treatment was associated with a reduced quality of life in patients who were otherwise in reasonable health and active at the start of the study. Moreover, in yet another this-is-not-rocket-science finding, terminal cancer patients who didn't have chemotherapy were shown to have a better quality of life than those who did.
Launch of our End Heart Disease – Plant a Fruit Tree campaign
Wednesday 15 July saw the official launch of our End Heart Disease: Plant a Fruit Tree campaign. A Movement of Life global project coordinated by the Dr. Rath Health Foundation, its aim is to educate people how heart disease is caused by a long term lack of vitamin C. The inspiration for the campaign is Dr. Matthias Rath's scientific discovery about the development of heart disease, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States in 1990, and the inverse relationship between its incidence and our intake of vitamin C. Following the recent release, by scientists at the Dr. Rath Research Institute, of scientific proof that atherosclerosis is an early form of the vitamin C deficiency disease scurvy, it is clear that the elimination of heart disease as a cause of human mortality is now possible.
Statins lower the body's levels of CoQ10: Merck knows about it, why don't many cardiologists?
A recent survey conducted among cardiologists in the United States found that the majority of them now recommend the important cellular nutrient Coenzyme Q-10 (CoQ10) for their patients. However, despite this promising finding, the same study also revealed that many of these physicians did not know why supplementation with this key micronutrient is vital for anyone taking statin drugs. Apparently, U.S. cardiologists still haven't been properly educated about the nutrient-robbing nature of these aggressively-hyped cholesterol-lowering chemicals.
Enhancing and protecting your health by ensuring an optimum supply of omega-3 fatty acids
Throughout our lives, omega-3 fatty acids play vital roles in maintaining our health. Required for the proper functioning of the heart, brain, eyes and other organs, the omega-3 fatty acids EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) are particularly crucial as the human body can only manufacture them in limited amounts. Significantly, therefore, research suggests that supplementing our diets with these key micronutrients can provide a wide variety of impressive benefits to our health.
Don't listen to the media: Micronutrient supplementation can enhance immune function and suppress infection
Barely a week goes by these days without a media headline telling us that antibiotic resistant "superbugs" have become one of the world's most pressing health concerns. Declaring that we stand on the threshold of the post-antibiotic era, such news stories try to frighten us into believing that, by the middle of this century, superbugs could be killing millions of people every year. Notably, however, whenever the question is raised as to what alternative approaches might be available for controlling infections, no mention whatsoever is made of the key roles played by essential micronutrients in the proper functioning of the immune system.
The Benefits of Micronutrients for Healthy Eyes
Over 3 million Americans over 40 suffer from some sort of visual impairment. Vision loss is one of the major causes of disabilities, and agerelated eye diseases (AREDs) are rapidly becoming a public health problem in developed countries. Visual impairment caused by AREDs can lead to other serious health issues including decreased mobility, depression, hip fractures, other accidents, and an overall lower quality of life. Most AREDs do not have effective treatments and it is therefore important to maintain eye health and prevent vision deterioration.
Zuma's South Africa:
What's happened to Mandela's dream?
Image: Wikipedia Commons, CC BY-SA 2.0
Twenty five years ago the world was celebrating the end of apartheid in South Africa. In only a few short months, following a struggle that had lasted over 40 years, the ban on the African National Congress (ANC) had been lifted, Nelson Mandela was released from prison and the stage seemed set for the dream of a rainbow nation at peace with itself and the world to become a reality.
Today, however, with over 26 percent of South Africans unemployed, poverty rife and anti-immigrant unrest spreading, Mandela's ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunities seems further away than ever. So what's gone wrong?
Omega-3 fatty acid supplements help reduce inflammation in chronic kidney disease
Image by Jo Christian Oterhals [CC BY-NC-ND 2.0], via flickr.com
In a new study published in the Clinical Nutrition journal, Australian scientists show how fatty acid supplements can help reduce inflammation for people with chronic kidney disease. Describing how their work shows that, by supplementing such patients with fatty acids, the body's synthesis of blood factors that help resolve inflammation can be increased, the researchers conclude this may have important implications for limiting inflammatory problems in chronic kidney disease.
Heart disease confirmed as an early form of scurvy!
Scurvy (also known as the "Sailors' Disease") is a condition resulting from a complete bodily depletion of ascorbic acid (vitamin C). It is a fatal disease characterized by a slow dissolution of connective tissue throughout the body, including the walls of the blood vessels. This disease was quite common in earlier centuries, especially among sailors whose diets were deprived of vitamin C. During long voyages at sea many sailors died within months from tremendous blood loss. Today, fully developed scurvy is rare; however, subclinical scurvy is very common especially in the elderly, infants, children on special diets and people with poor dietary habits.
Painkillers and sedatives associated with increased risk of committing homicide
Image: By Leonardo D'Amico [CC BY-NC-ND 2.0], via flickr.com
With 70 million Americans known to be taking mind-altering pharmaceuticals and the number of mass shootings in the United States having risen sharply in recent years, speculation has been rife for some time now that certain classes of prescription drugs may be a contributory cause in homicidal behaviour. Further attention was drawn to this thought-provoking hypothesis just recently when the co-pilot responsible for the deliberate crashing of Germanwings flight 9525 into an Alpine mountain was subsequently found to have been taking antidepressants. Now, for the first time, a study published in the World Psychiatry journal has found that painkillers and sedatives are associated with a significantly increased risk of committing homicide.
New study provides further evidence that green tea extract can prevent prostate cancer
A new study published in the medical journal Cancer Prevention Research provides further evidence that supplements containing green tea catechins may help reduce the incidence of prostate cancer. In a randomized placebo controlled trial, men with precancerous lesions in their prostates took capsules containing 400 mg of the green tea extract epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) per day or a placebo. Carried out over a period of one year, the study found that the men who took EGCG experienced a significant decrease in levels of the cancer biomarker prostate-specific antigen (PSA). This is important as when assessed in combination with other key risk factors, high levels of PSA can indicate an increased risk of prostate cancer.
Study finds vitamin B3 lowers risk of non-melanoma skin cancers
In a study providing further scientific confirmation that micronutrients can reduce the occurrence of cancer, researchers from the University of Sydney in Australia have found that nicotinamide, a form of vitamin B3, lowers the risk of non-melanoma skin cancers. The research was conducted via a clinical trial involving 386 people in Australia, aged between 30 and 91 years old, who had had non-melanoma skin cancers two or more times during the previous five years. Patients who took 500 milligrams of nicotinamide twice a day were found to have a 23 percent lower risk of developing new cancers compared to those given placebo pills.
Our Study Proves That Heart Disease Is Linked To Vitamin C Deficiency
Heart attacks and strokes have consistently remained the leading causes of death. Atherosclerosis, the underlying cause of these diseases, results in 17 million deaths worldwide each year. Yet, high blood cholesterol levels, a fatty diet and obesity have been blamed as the causes of heart disease. However, cutting down dietary fat and the artificial reduction of blood cholesterol with cholesterol-reducing medicines have not been successful in addressing this issue. Atherosclerotic plaques occur primarily in the coronary arteries rather than in the entire 60,000-mile-long vascular system. The absence of plaque in the veins, and the fact that animals do not suffer from atherosclerosis while humans do, cannot be explained by conventional medicine and the cholesterol theory of heart disease.
New study proves heart failure drug digoxin INCREASES risk of death: The time to consider natural alternatives is NOW!
Image: Wikipedia
In further damaging news for the pharma industry, a new systematic review and meta-analysis covering over 300,000 patients has proved that digoxin, a drug widely used to treat heart failure, is associated with an increased risk of death. Carried out by researchers from the JW Goethe University in Frankfurt, the study was published online in the European Heart Journal and revealed that digoxin increases the risk of death in heart patients by over 20 percent. For patients being treated for atrial fibrillation, a type of arrhythmia that can cause rapid, irregular beating of the heart's upper chambers, the increase in risk was even higher, at 29 percent.
Accuracy of articles on Wikipedia:
Serious questions continue to be raised
With almost one billion websites now online and the number increasing day by day, the amount of information available on the World Wide Web seems almost limitless. For many people, when searching for information online, a key source they turn to is Wikipedia, the self-styled "free" encyclopedia. Launched in 2001 by Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger and containing material largely written by anonymous users, Wikipedia now contains 35 million articles in 288 different languages and is consistently ranked as one of the world's top ten most popular websites. Behind all the hype, however, serious questions are being raised about the accuracy of its content.
Study finds women who consume fish-liver oil in adolescence or midlife have reduced risk of coronary heart disease when older
In a study providing further evidence of the impressive health benefits of fish-liver oil, researchers from Iceland say consuming it in adolescence or midlife may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease in women when they get older. Examining a total of 3326 women aged between 66 and 96 years of age, the researchers found that those who consumed fish-liver oil at least three times a week in adolescence or midlife had a decreased risk of coronary heart disease compared to women with no intake at all. Concluding that consuming fish-liver oil from early life may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease in older women, the researchers say the study provides important evidence of the preventive role of lifelong nutrition.
End of heart disease now possible – New study proves atherosclerosis is early form of scurvy
25 April, 2015 -- Scientists at the Dr. Rath Research Institute in California have published a groundbreaking study in the American Journal of Cardiovascular Disease proving that heart disease is an early form of the vitamin C deficiency disease scurvy. Building on a discovery made by Dr. Matthias Rath in the early 1990s, this publication deals a major blow to the cholesterol theory of heart disease and the pharmaceutical industry's associated $30 billion annual sales in patented cholesterol-lowering statin drugs.
New study shows supplements of B vitamins and omega-3 can stop development of Alzheimer's disease
A new study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition has found that supplements can halt the development of Alzheimer's disease. Carried out over a period of two years by scientists at University of Oxford in the UK, it followed 168 elderly people and showed that a combination of B vitamins and omega-3 fatty acids prevented brain shrinkage, a hallmark of the devastating condition. A potentially groundbreaking development in the control of Alzheimer's disease, by employing a micronutrient synergy-type approach it provides further clinical evidence that the most effective supplementation can be achieved by utilizing carefully chosen combinations of nutrients acting in biological synergy.
Greece demands payment of €279 billion by Germany for Nazi-era crimes
In a further show of strength against the dictatorial Brussels EU, the government of Greece is demanding the payment of €279 billion by Germany as reparations for Nazi-era crimes. Presented by deputy Greek finance minister Dimitris Mardas in a long-awaited announcement, the amount cited includes repayment of an occupation loan that Nazi Germany forced the Bank of Greece to make in 1942. With the Greek national debt now amounting to over €316 billion, the settling of this demand in full by Germany would effectively bring an end to the economic austerity measures that Greece is currently subject to and free it from the control of the so-called Troika (the International Monetary Fund, the Brussels EU and the European Central Bank).
Research from Denmark confirms dangers of chemical cocktails in foods
Important new research from Denmark has shown how the health effects of chemicals in our food supply may be significantly more harmful than originally believed. Recognizing that chemicals are consumed not individually but in cocktails, the assessment was carried out by the National Food Institute at the Technical University of Denmark and demonstrated that even small doses of substances such as pesticides and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) can amplify each other's negative effects when present in combinations. This finding essentially confirms concerns that we ourselves first raised years ago.
New study shows vitamin D supplements can slow down or reverse the development of prostate cancer

A recent study carried out by researchers from the Medical University of South Carolina in the United States found that vitamin D supplements may slow down or reverse the progression of low-grade prostate cancer tumors. With one in six men now expected to develop prostate cancer in their lifetimes, the study adds to the growing scientific evidence that natural approaches are effective in controlling this disease.
Google's approach to cancer: Copying the pharma business model
Over the past few days, newspaper headlines have excitedly been proclaiming that Google is working on a cure for cancer. In a patent filed with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) published on 5 March, a wrist-worn device is described that "can automatically modify or destroy one or more targets in the blood that have an adverse health effect." Widely trumpeted by the media, the patent specifically refers to the possibility that such targets could include cancer cells. So is this science, or hype?
Jean-Claude Juncker calls for creation of Brussels EU army: A clear sign that the construct's corporate backers are getting desperate
In a revealing newspaper interview in Germany recently, the Brussels EU commission president, Jean-Claude Juncker, called for the construct to have its own army. A long-time advocate for the Brussels EU to militarize Europe at the continental level, Juncker bizarrely claimed that having such a force would help address the construct's image problem, which he admitted has "suffered dramatically." More worryingly, he also hoped it might address the issue of Brussels EU foreign policy not being taken seriously.

New study finds doctors underestimate dangers of Paracetamol
These days, it seems fewer people than ever are under the illusion that pharmaceutical drugs are safe. With barely a day going by now without news that one drug or another has been found to cause unexpected side-effects and raise the risk of patients actually developing diseases rather than being cured from them, it is hardly surprising that interest in natural therapies has increased exponentially in recent years.
US Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee admits cholesterol in food not health concern but ignores scientific facts about heart disease
In a surprising turnaround, the US Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee recently admitted that the "available evidence shows no appreciable relationship between consumption of dietary cholesterol and serum cholesterol." Potentially representing a significant change in US government health policy, the statement was contained in new draft Dietary Guidelines for Americans that no longer contain warnings about eating foods high in cholesterol. Whilst effectively amounting to a belated admittance that the vast majority of cholesterol in the human body is produced by the body itself, the fact remains that, both in the US and elsewhere, our governments are still not telling us the whole truth. Despite all the evidence to the contrary, we are still apparently supposed to believe that cholesterol is the cause of heart disease.
World Cancer Day 2015:
Millions of Patients Dying for the Truth
Every year on February 4, World Cancer Day is observed with the goal of raising awareness of cancer and encouraging its prevention, detection and treatment. Steered by the big cancer charities, who use the ensuing media blitz as an opportunity to maximize their fundraising campaigns, the impression given is that discovering so-called "miracle" drugs, and beating cancer, will only be possible if we all give generously enough. What these charities don't tell you, however, is that the pharmaceutical industry's annual global sales already amount to over 1 TRILLION dollars annually. Moreover, by 2018, sales of drugs are expected to reach a staggering 1.3 trillion dollars a year. As such, the question has to be asked: Why should a trillion-dollar-a-year industry expect us to donate money to support its research?
Cancer is not just pure 'bad luck'
By Dr. Aleksandra Niedzwiecki, Dr. Rath Research Institute
In the never-ending race to attract public attention (and better ratings), the media will use any opportunity to bring 'exciting' news – but without considering its truthfulness or far-reaching consequences.
The most recent example of such media hype relates to the publication of a scientific study in January 2015, which concluded that cancer is no more than 'bad luck'.
Taking into account the public health consequences of spreading such nihilistic views based on inadequate data, we feel that this topic needs to be addressed in a wider context.
On October 19, 2014, a memorable event took place in Southern Italy in the historic town of Barletta. Addressing the audience and the people of the world, Dr. Matthias Rath gave a keynote speech in which he outlined the cornerstones of a future preventive health care system. Demanding that powerful corporate interests should be stopped from imposing the "business with disease" on the people of the world, he described unique and impressive strategies that will allow mankind to free itself from the current dictatorial system of health care.

(hidden for your protection)
The regulator didn't specifically suspect anything re: propensity for manipulating Libor, just a general feeling it couldn't necessarily trust the guy, which Barclays chairman Marcus Agius conceded was not entirely off base.
On Wednesday a British parliamentary committee release an internal record from the Financial Services Authority dating back to September 2010. The note details a discussion between Barclays Chairman Marcus Agius and then FSA chief Hector Sants during the final stages of the regulatory approval process for Mr. Diamond's promotion to CEO. In the note Mr. Sants said that Mr. Diamond had not reached "the level of openness, transparency and willingness to air issues with the FSA" of his predecessor. Mr. Agius agreed and said that the outgoing Barclays CEO John Varley would "coach" Mr. Diamond on the issue…During a meeting with lawmakers after Mr. Diamond's resignation, Mr. Agius said that the Libor issue had not been raised by the FSA when it vetted the CEO.

The medical humanities emerged in the late 1960s in response to shared concerns among a group of hospital chaplains, academic clinicians, and moral theologians and philosophers about the growing power of a technological imperative and a perceived trend toward depersonalization in medicine. Gathering themselves originally under the rubric of "health and human values," these reformers launched a new field of intellectual work and practice reminiscent of the revival of liberal learning spawned by the Renaissance humanists, who endeavored to link humanistic ideals to professional practice in the workaday world of their time. The task of appropriating and adapting the studia humanitatis to our time and circumstances is crucial to defining the evolving identity of the medical humanities field.
Through a comparison of two graphic novels concerned with the experience of cancer diagnosis and treatment, Brian Fies's Mom's Cancer (2006) and Harvey Pekar and Joyce Brabner's Our Cancer Year (1994), this essay suggests some of the strengths and limitations of the medical humanities in responding to the experience of illness. It demonstrates how the graphic medium enables us to generate a new set of reading strategies and thus to articulate a more complex and powerful analysis of illness, disability, medicine, and health. Finally, the essay considers the question raised by the comparison of the graphic novels: whether the term "health humanities" might not be preferable to its predecessor, "medical humanities."
In this essay we link the rationale for the medical humanities with radical hermeneutics, a move that infuses the medical humanities with incredulity and suspicion. This orientation is particularly important at this historical moment, when the evidence-based and competency blanket is threatening to overpower all aspects of medical education, including the medical humanities discourse itself. Radical her-meneutics works relentlessly against the final word on anything, and as such, it provides a critically provocative way of thinking about doctors, patients, illness, health, families, death—in short, the experience of being human. We use three literary examples to illustrate the complex, contradictory, perplexing, and disturbing questions related to a life in medicine: Rafael Campo's "Like a Prayer," Irvin Yalom's "Fat Lady," and Richard Selzer's "Brute."
Medicine is driven by much more than science and reason (ethics); it is also driven by the circuits of culture within which it operates. This article examines how postmodern theory deconstructs standard ideals of science and reason and allows medical humanities scholars to better contextualize the world of medicine. As such, postmodern theory provides an invaluable tool for understanding the circuits of popular culture and medicine's place within these circuits. Using a recent issue of Newsweek magazine devoted to health and technology to illustrate the main points, this essay argues that contemporary popular influences on medicine are deeply problematic, and that through an appreciation of the dynamics of culture, medical humanities scholars can join the struggle over medical culture. This perspective allows medical humanities to make important contributions toward alternative circuits of medical representation, consumption, and identification.
First-person narratives of illness experience are dramatic: the narrator, who is also the sufferer, is caught in conflicts of forces that permit understanding more than control. Among the dramas of illness, five occur frequently in autobiographical accounts of illness. These dramas overlap and have varying emphases in different people's stories. They are the drama of genesis (what instigated the illness); the drama of emotion work (what emotional displays are required or prohibited); the drama of fear and loss; the drama of meaning; and finally, the drama of self. This five-drama framework can focus critical and clinical attention on which conflicting forces the ill person is working to reconcile, what makes that work difficult, and how conceiving of one's illness as a drama can be a source of meaning and value.
Margaret Edson's play W;t (1999) serves both as a guide to apprehending the dangers of a perspective that privileges the technological over the aesthetic and as a model for appreciating the magic of yielding to a performance. Inspired by William F. Pinar's (1995) examination of the place and value of the aesthetic in contemporary American education, this article considers Edson's play in relation to theory, teaching, learning, and art, in order to resituate the humanities—with their emphasis on imagination, transformation, and wonder—within the medical arena.
This article considers contributions that the medical humanities have made to biomedical ethics. Philosophy has contributed methods of ethical justification to case analysis and has given birth to the New Professionalism movement. Taking biography as its paradigmatic resource, this movement has refocused medical education on the formation of physicians who not only have certain responsibilities to their patients, but also a regard for the role of the medical profession in working toward social justice. However, reliance on biography is now giving way to a renewed emphasis on autobiography, as educators seek to support medical students through the personal and spiritual journey that confrontation with death, disease, and injustice naturally entails. Reflective methods and techniques characterize this emerging era as educators and students try to preserve and reinvigorate the soul of medicine.
Evaluating health requires visual assessment. From the meticulous self-scrutiny of a worried woman in front of the looking glass to the doctor's reaction at the sight of a patient in the examining room, external appearance plays an important role in appraising health above and beyond clinical assessment. However, this dominance of the visual in our image-driven culture has assumed a disproportionately prominent position. Media, businesses, and health care commonly misrepresent appearance as the reality of health. Industry mongers beauty-promoting wares and services as health-protecting products, and physical appearance contributes to clinicians' imperfect heuristics. An explanation for this focus on appearance is persistence of the ancient belief that looks indicate inner character. In this article we unmask the historical origin of this belief and reveal how it contaminates contemporary approaches to health assessment and maintenance.
With the rise in managed care and the changes in the organization and delivery of health care, the medical literature is rife with expressions of doctors' discontent. Less is known about how these changes have affected patients in the course of everyday interactions with their doctors. As an efficiency measure, many physician practices rely on voice mail to screen and direct calls to the appropriate party. This simple, low-tech alteration in communication between patient and doctor has the potential to interfere with the development and maintenance of a constructive doctor-patient relationship. This paper describes the author's experience communicating with her physicians. It focuses on making an appointment via voice mail and offers a perspective on how the process of appointment making through an electronic third party can have a negative impact on the doctor-patient relationship.
This essay explores the connections between health and illness, and the processes of salutogenesis, pathogenesis, and homeostasis. Written from an understanding of human embodiment and the consequences this has for our experiences of health and disease, this essay moves towards a positive definition of health, as an on-going outcome from the processes of a life lived well. "Well" here is measured in terms of wealth, relationships, coherence, fitness, and adaptability. Mencken's criticism that "Hygiene is the corruption of medicine by morality" is answered; the search for health is, in part, a moral as well as a biological enterprise. Both generative processes and remedial measures contribute to health. The patients in my consulting room usually need remedial medicine, but they would also like to flourish as human beings. Doctors should be able to provide a balance of measures towards this end.

To the editor:
This letter responds to inaccuracies in the letter from Mr. Claude Ledoux. We give quotes and responses.
Quote: "CPC has spent $7,680,458 on 81 separate projects."
Response: CPC does not "spend" funds. It recommends projects to Town Meeting and oversees expenditures. Town approved CPA funding for some 64 projects to date is $6 million; $2.5 million from the state match.
Quote: "Most CPC [CPA] funds have been granted to seven entities."
Response.: A more meaningful description of the allocation of CPA funding is as follows: 29% to affordable community housing; 20% to sports fields and playgrounds, 13% to town owned historic buildings, documents and artifacts; 15% to open space preservation and watershed protection; and 11%, respectively, for preservation restrictions for farms and farm buildings, and for preservation and rehabilitation of private historic sites. In other words, nearly half of the funding has been to recreation and affordable housing, which as Mr. Ledoux states "were the major justifications for accepting CPC in 2001."
Quote: "Thousands of 'north-end watershed residents' benefit little from the millions administered by CPC."
Response: This is a loaded and inaccurate assertion. All residents benefit from CPA projects which preserve the town's heritage. Property values throughout Westport benefit from the open space, watershed and farm protection, well-maintained and rehabilitated historic buildings, and playing fields. Physical location of projects does not determine their impact town-wide. A review of the projects makes that clear as shown on the CPC website.
Quote: "Open space funding of $2,030,000 has been excessive. CPC interactions were with only three initiating agencies."
Response: CPA funding of open land and farm preservation restrictions has amounted to less than $1.3 million, not $2 million. Note also this spending provides for protection of the river and our watershed, e.g., our drinking water; provision of passive recreation and preservation of our farmlands. A major part of the total funding of these projects has not come from your surcharge, but from several state funding sources including the state match, partnering with the Westport Land Conservation Trust, the TTOR and the town's Agricultural Open Space Trust Fund.
Quote: "Included in open space was continuous funding of the Estuaries Committee for a long-term "study" now $255,000."
Response: The Estuaries Committee was not funded. CPA funding has been directed to the state-required Massachusetts Estuaries Project carried out by UMASS Dartmouth. To date $170,000 has been approved by Town Meeting, including testing (not studying) the quality of the river north of the Head of Westport. The purpose is to establish the maximum nitrogen loading limits for maintaining a healthy river and clean drinking water. This benefits the entire town.
Quote: "Considering that most purchases [of open space] benefitted wealthy landowners…"
Responses: CPA funding has not been used to purchase properties. It has been used to purchase conservation or agricultural preservation restrictions on property so that the land will be kept in agriculture and/or will remain undeveloped in order to protect sensitive watershed areas. The restrictions are held and administered by the town in perpetuity. Open space benefits everyone and helps keep the town rural in character.
Quote: "Historic -…. only $94,554 was used to fund one north-end project…"
Response: All projects serve all of Westport because they are required by CPA to serve a public purpose. $805, 659 for town-owned historic buildings, documents and artifacts; $18,223 for historic cemeteries $682,585 for non-profit owned buildings such as the Grange, historic schools and churches, and the Handy House; $200,000 for the Oscar Palmer Farm buildings. The insinuation that there is only one "north-end project" is divisive and untrue.
Quote: "$415,000 was used to purchase private property to be turned over to a private organization, taking priority over development of recreational ballfields for town youth."
Response: The CPA funding for the National Register Handy House did not have any impact on "ballfield" funding whatsoever. The property was brought under the stewardship of the well regarded Westport Historical Society. This unique property is dedicated to use for the public and is protected by a historical preservation restriction. The town has first right of refusal at zero cost if the Handy House is ever sold. The town has the best of all possible worlds – a preserved landmark of great distinction and no obligation to maintain it. CPA is presently funding all types of recreation.
Quote: …"Spent in the other allowable categories: Affordable housing $1,736,431. Recreation. $657,000. These were the major justifications for accepting CPC in 2001. Both have suffered from low priorities in favor of more glamorous endeavors of agenda-driven connections. Reducing CPC to 1% will not affect these items."
Response: Allocations for affordable housing have been nearly $1.8 million and for active recreation $1.2 million, 29% and 20% respectively of total CPA funding to date. In addition passive recreation is required in those properties given CPA open space funding. In other words, 49% of funding has been allocated to these two categories. They have NOT "suffered" from low priority. As for the justifications for accepting CPA in 2001-2002, the flyer that was circulated at the time stated the following goals: "protect our drinking water supplies, preserve farmland and open spaces, develop recreational fields, restore historic landmarks, create more housing opportunities for seniors." It also stated "… on average, each new house that is developed in Westport costs more in services – police, fire, schools – than the tax revenue it provides. By investing now in CPA our local dollars and state matching funds will help to keep Westport rural and keep taxes low." Finally, it is incorrect to say that affordable housing and recreation will not be affected by a reduction in the surcharge – all funding will be reduced.
Quote: "CPC recommendations for FY15…amount to $1,001,053…these…will be approved by Town Meeting."
Response: CPC recommendations for projects for FY15 equal $687,000. These may or may not be approved by Town Meeting.
Quote: "In any case none of those funds could be used for any crucial town needs and would stay in the control of the connected groups."
Response: The language in this statement is inaccurate, as portrayed in the data, and incendiary.
Quote: "History has shown that a special interests majority at Town Meeting will vote to deny a ballot vote and not allow a representative vote on this issue."
Response: Town Meeting is a representative body. Citizens may attend and express themselves, actually listen to the arguments of others, and then vote. People do not vote to deny a ballot vote. They express their decision on a particular matter in question.
Quote: "Luxury taxation has replaced funding our basic needs, exemplified by this year's override requests. "
Response: Where is the "luxury taxation"? The CPA surcharge and the state matching funds are used as Town Meeting approves. In most cases, projects involve substantial added private funding and extensive volunteer work and in many cases, like the river dredging project, the private or matching funding overwhelms the CPA contribution. However, CPA provides necessary seed money. It assists the town to meet basic requirements like handicapped accessibility, affordable housing, and watershed and river protection, as well as preservation of its buildings, documents and artifacts. And as the flyer in 2001 stated, it actually "helps keep Westport rural and keep taxes low."

Europeans use the focus on the Holocaust to pretend that European anti-Semitism began with the Nazis' rise to power in 1933 and ended with their defeat 12 years later. In truth, the Nazis' rise to power was a natural consequence of 1,600 years of European Jew hatred.
From the time of Roman Emperor Constantine, persecution, expulsion and massacre of Jews was the norm, not the exception, in European life.
Hitler and his colleagues were adored not despite their hatred of Jews and their organization of German politics around the dehumanization of Jewish people. They were supported by the Germans, and by the majority of the people in the European lands they conquered because of their anti-Semitism and their dehumanization of Jews.
This Jew hatred did not die in Auschwitz.
As Ruth Wisse explained in August 2010, political anti-Semitism was resuscitated immediately after the war ended with the establishment of the Arab League. The League's sole purpose was to reorganize anti-Semitic politics around denying the Jewish people their legal right to establish a sovereign state in their homeland.
In other words, with the establishment of the League in March 1945, the just-ended physical annihilation of European Jewry was replaced by the campaign to deny Jews political freedom and independence in our land.
Rather than combat this affront to international law and to the Charter of the United Nations, Europe, along with the rest of the world, sought to appease, and so facilitated and encouraged Arab anti-Jewish aggression.
When in 1948, in breach of the UN Charter the Arabs invaded the nascent State of Israel, they were not punished for their illegal action. And in the intervening 65 years, the Arabs' refusal to recognize or live at peace with the UN member state similarly has gone unpunished.
Even worse, instead of censuring the Arabs for their immoral and illegal behavior, the UN has adopted their venomous anti-Jewish agenda as its own.
It bears noting that Wisse presented her position at a conference sponsored by Yale University's Initiative for the Interdisciplinary Study of Antisemitism.
Hers was one of several hundred important papers presented there by academics from around the world.
YIISA 's conference was so successful in highlighting the central role anti-Semitism plays in global politics today that many participants optimistically believed it would serve as the catalyst, finally, for a serious reckoning by American and European academia with the scourge of anti-Semitism that was not eradicated – or even seriously dealt with – after the Holocaust.
But alas, it was not to be. Angered by the conference's success, Arab donors, PLO officials and Europhilic academics demanded that Yale close YIISA .
Ten months later, Yale closed YIISA .
YIISA 's successor, the unaffiliated Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy, just published a five-volume set of the papers presented at the conference.
YIISA 's closure was one more indicator of anti-Semitism's profound and enduring influence on our daily lives. And it is vital that we understand how this is the case.
In Europe, and increasingly in Europhilic sectors of American society, anti-Semitism is not combated or even seriously studied because most Europeans and their American admirers don't have a problem with anti-Semitism.
Whereas they enthusiastically condemn their colonialist past, which was far shorter and less violent than their Jew hatred, they shrug their shoulders, turn a blind eye, or condone continued assaults on Jews.
The Arab transposition of political Jew hatred from Europe to Israel provided the Europeans with a new post-war political framework to attack Jews. And with it, they continue to blame Jews for everything from the price of oil to Islamic terrorism while slandering the descendants of their grandparents' victims with blood libels against Israel.
In this rancid environment, rather than serving to combat Jew hatred, International Holocaust Remembrance Day inadvertently enables it. By bowing their heads in honor of dead Jews for five minutes every January 27, the Europeans get to pretend that the Holocaust was exogenous, as opposed to organic to, and still very much a part of European civilization.
Modern Zionism was conceived as having two objectives – to enable the Jews to protect ourselves from anti-Semites; and to end anti-Semitism by normalizing Jews as a nation among the nations. But as Wisse notes, like the Jews in exilic communities, the Jewish state cannot end other people's hatred of Jews, because we didn't cause it. Only the anti-Semites, through their own moral reckoning with their anti-Semitic past and present, can do that.
In light of the Europeans' continued refusal to undertake such a moral reckoning, far from combating anti-Semitism, International Holocaust Remembrance Day serves as a cover for it. Israel and the Jewish people should not let the Holocaust serve as a fig leaf for their continuing, and growing, hatred.

IPs net AQI at checkpoint
November 10, 2009
By Spc. Justin Naylor, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division Public Affairs
FORWARD OPERATING BASE WARRIOR, KIRKUK, Iraq - As a means of fighting terrorism, the placement and use of traffic checkpoints often prove effective.
As a recent example illustrates, Iraqi Police in the Kirkuk province of Iraq detained suspected al-Qaeda in Iraq members in possession of bomb-making materiel because they reportedly saw something suspicious in one of their vehicles at a check point Oct. 22.
The discovery by the alert IPs eventually led to an operation that netted a total of nine members of an AQI cell in Kirkuk and the discovery of 17 blasting caps, four initiator devices and over 300 pounds of ammonium nitrate.
Ammonium nitrate, initiated by gasoline, is a common ingredient in many homemade explosives used by insurgents.
One of the nine is Abdallah Abd Qadir, who had previously purchased thousands of pounds of ammonium nitrate throughout 2006 for unknown reasons. Abdallah has ties to known AQI members associated with insurgent activity in Baghdad.
The relatively simple security measure likely saved lives.
In support of these security measures, military police operating out of Joint Security Station McHenry in Hawijah, Iraq, routinely check up on these checkpoints to ensure they are operating at peak performance.
"When operated properly, these checkpoints are vital to the security of this area," said Staff Sgt. Jon Sausser, a Pasadena, Texas, native and a squad leader with the 218th MP Company.
These checkpoints search vehicles for illegal weapons, ammunition, and explosives, along with warranted criminals and known insurgents.
According to Sausser, his squad routinely checks on several checkpoints in their area of operation to evaluate their performance and to ensure they are effectively searching vehicles.
In addition, the military police also conduct training with the ISF manning the checkpoints.
"The Americans teach us classes on searching vehicle and on operating the checkpoints," said Sala Muhammed Hussein, a member of the Sons of Iraq, who works at a checkpoint near Shariyah.
"They gave us good instructions," he said. "This helps us do our duties really well."
Sala said that his checkpoint operates with both Sons of Iraq and Iraqi Police, and that they both work together to ensure the security of their checkpoint.
"We search every single vehicle that comes through," he said. "If they have ammunition, rifles or pistols they would not get through here."
This area is safer because this checkpoint is here, according to Sala.
Sausser said that since his unit began working with these checkpoints, he has seen a noticeable improvement.
There are now more ISF present per checkpoint than there were in the past, and they have also begun holding training sessions on a daily basis to improve the way they operate the checkpoints, he explained.
"They are getting better on the way they do things," he said.

More travel info about Weimar: Although Thuringia may not be on the itinerary of most American tourists, this state offers an array of very interesting cities, not the least of which is the small city of Weimar. Weimar's fame is warranted on various counts, including the fact that it was the center of the German Enlightenment and was the home of two of Germany's most prominent literary figures, Goethe and Schiller. During the 1800s and 1900s, an array of avant garde artists and composers settled in Weimar, including Franz Liszt, Wassily Kandinsky, and Walter Gropius, who first established the Bauhaus here. Lastly, the Weimar Republic was founded in Weimar, which was the site of the signing of Germany's first democratic constitution in 1918. Today, Weimar is home to numerous UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including the Bauhaus University. The sites to see here are almost too many to list: German National Theater, Goethe National Museum, Schiller Museum, Nietzsche Archives, Duchess Anna Amalia Library (which has a major Shakespeare collection and the world's largest Faust collection), Liszt House, Bauhaus Museum, Buchenwald Concentration Camp Memorial, Park an der Ilm (a UNESCO site), the German Bee Museum, and the Gauforum at Weimarplatz (the only realized Nazi government district outside of Berlin). It is easy to catch a train from Weimar and reach other rich cultural cities, including Leipzig (50 miles) and Erfurt (only 15 minutes by train).

Definitions for mineralˈmɪn ər əl, ˈmɪn rəl
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word mineral
Princeton's WordNet
solid homogeneous inorganic substances occurring in nature having a definite chemical composition
relating to minerals
"mineral elements"; "mineral deposits"
composed of matter other than plant or animal
"the inorganic mineral world"
Any naturally occurring inorganic material that has a (more or less) definite chemical composition and characteristic physical properties.
Any inorganic material (as distinguished from animal or vegetable).
Any inorganic element that is essential to nutrition; a dietary mineral.
Mineral water.
A soft drink, particularly a single serve bottle or can.
of, related to, or containing minerals
Origin: From Medieval Latin, minera.
Webster Dictionary
an inorganic species or substance occurring in nature, having a definite chemical composition and usually a distinct crystalline form. Rocks, except certain glassy igneous forms, are either simple minerals or aggregates of minerals
a mine
anything which is neither animal nor vegetable, as in the most general classification of things into three kingdoms (animal, vegetable, and mineral)
of or pertaining to minerals; consisting of a mineral or of minerals; as, a mineral substance
impregnated with minerals; as, mineral waters
Origin: [F. minral, LL. minerale, fr. minera mine. See Mine, v. i.]
A mineral is a naturally occurring substance that is solid and stable at room temperature, representable by a chemical formula, usually abiogenic, and has an ordered atomic structure. It is different from a rock, which can be an aggregate of minerals or non-minerals, and does not have a specific chemical composition. The exact definition of a mineral is under debate, especially with respect to the requirement a valid species be abiogenic, and to a lesser extent with regards to it having an ordered atomic structure. The study of minerals is called mineralogy. There are over 4,900 known mineral species; over 4,660 of these have been approved by the International Mineralogical Association. The silicate minerals compose over 90% of the Earth's crust. The diversity and abundance of mineral species is controlled by the Earth's chemistry. Silicon and oxygen constitute approximately 75% of the Earth's crust, which translates directly into the predominance of silicate minerals. Minerals are distinguished by various chemical and physical properties. Differences in chemical composition and crystal structure distinguish various species, and these properties in turn are influenced by the mineral's geological environment of formation. Changes in the temperature, pressure, and bulk composition of a rock mass cause changes in its mineralogy; however, a rock can maintain its bulk composition, but as long as temperature and pressure change, its mineralogy can change as well.4-

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 188.8.131.52
Forum Moderators: open
We are working on a project where out clients server setup uses root specific linking. For example, an image link would look like:
Where the folder "website" resides in the (web) root directory.
I am trying to find a way that will allow us to recreate this in Dreamweaver, so that our code is ready to ship over directly (as opposed to searching and replacing in the link structure).
Has anyone every done this? Or know how to do this?
All help/suggestions greatly appreciated!
Does that make sense? Maybe I'm misunderstanding your question...
That makes perfect sense! ;)
It's the "../" I want to eliminate.
For example, if I am in a folder called pages (/website/pages/) and I want to link to an image in my images folder (/website/images/), normally I would use:
However, in my root specific environment I want to use a link structure like this:
Does that make sense?!? It is this sort of linking convention that I wish Dreamweaver to adopt.... if possible!
NOTE: I've got a toggle set in my DW settings to Not Change Code. I forget exactly where it is - somewhere in the site setup settings. I'm not sure what happens if you don't have that set.
It also adds those blasted ".." things to SSI's, so keep an eye on that, too, if you're using them.
We use (almost exclusively) root-relative, and my biggest beef with DW and this setting is that it's not 'sticky' and keeps resetting to doc. rel by default.
HTH, Mat
Thanks for the replies. I've found a way to do this.
Once you have a site definied in the Sites pane, applying a root-specific linking convention is quite straight forward (it took some creative search terms on the Dreamweaver help file!).
When you are using the WYSIWYG to insert images/flash/SSI you need to change the Relative To: setting from Document to Site Root. This will use the proper link (/site/folder/whatever.jpg).
What I need to do now is to create a site on our development server, so that this linking convention works correctly when you go to view the pages. This is straightforward enough in IIS, by using the IIS Manager and defining a new site.
This means, for me, that I by prompting my team to use Relative To: Site Root on all their links, we no longer need to do a global search and replace and our code is ready to ship!
Cheers again!
<added>Hey mat, just spotted you post - that's it alright! Thanks a million!</added>
