For your reference, here are the two letters received from the Almond Board of California: One on april 4th, and the second modified version on april 6th. (Bolding has been added for emphasis.) April 4th letter from the Almond Board The Almond Board of California, representing the California almond industry, has consumers’ health and safety as its number one priority as it implements an industry-wide pasteurization program. The purpose of this plan is to ensure that consumers are provided with safe, wholesome food products.

To find out, Friedman and Rosenman and two colleagues studied forty accountants for six months: three months before april 15 (the date when tax returns must be filed in the United States) and three months after that date. Every two weeks, these physicians measured their subjects' cholesterol levels and the speed with which their blood clotted (rapid clotting was considered a risk factor for heart disease). Sure enough, by late March and early april, both had increased significantly. Indeed, the researchers reported that the accountants' blood "began clotting at a dangerously accelerated rate.

Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health

The father related a most incredible story: Soon after starting Accutane, his son told the family that the deceased rocker Jim Morrison was talking to him through monkeys and telling him to commit suicide on april 15, 2004. When the boy finished relating the story, his parents checked him into a locked psychiatric facility on april 14, 2004, a sound decision in my professional opinion. After he stopped taking Accutane his psychosis and suicidal thinking stopped, and he continues to be free of symptoms to this day.

The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth About What You Should Eat and Why

As of april 2006, the American Heart Association's (AHA) Nutrition Committee no longer recommends eating soy to lower cholesterol. The FDA is currently reviewing its policy on soy health claims. And a recent article by Harvard Women's Health Watch (April 2006) was titled "Soy: Not So Miraculous?" The soy associated with the Asian diet is a whole different animal from the soy we've been sold in America as a health food. There, they eat naturally fermented soy foods like tempeh and miso and old-fashioned fermented soy sauce—and they eat way less of it than you might imagine.

In just one year, between april 2004 and april 2005, this enormous glacier both doubled in speed and simultaneously retreated by 4 kilometres. If other large glaciers begin to go the same way as Helheim and Kangerdlugssuaq -which have now doubled the rate at which they together dump ice in the ocean from 50 to 100 cubic kilometres a year - it could 'pull the plug' on Greenland, Dr Hamilton warned.

The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World

Lynne McTaggart
See book keywords and concepts
The failed april 21 study suggested the possibility that we needed a certain size "dose" of intention to have an effect. The Transcendental Meditation organization has long held a similar view of meditation—that a certain percentage of regular meditators is required to exert an effect on misery indices such as the crime rate. It was also evident that our technical problems had interfered with intention. In the March 24 and april 21 experiments, the technical glitches may have caused the experiments to fail.

The Vitamin D Cure

James Dowd and Diane Stafford
See book keywords and concepts
Looking at this in yet another way, we know that you can only make vitamin D from april 15 to September 30 in Detroit. That's just 5lA months. But the reality is that few working people take outdoor lunch breaks, and many work five or six days a week. That basically leaves weekends from May to September, because it's usually still too cold in april to expose much skin. This means that someone who lives in Michigan has just forty-eight days of the year to make vitamin D. Locale isn't the only stumbling block to D production.

In 1978, the CPSC finally decided to do something about benzene, trailing the other agencies in regard to this substance as well. In april of that year, it proposed a ban on benzene for all household products, including rubber cement, whether the benzene was added intentionally or was introduced as a contaminant that constituted 0.1 percent or more of the product. According to the CPSC press release, of fifty-two rubber cement makers it had contacted, only one still intentionally added benzene.56 Two years later, in 1980, the CPSC had still not put the proposed ban into force.
Then, on the afternoon of 22 april 1915, the winds were favorable at last. The German forces released 1,600 steel cylinders and 4,160 smaller canisters totaling 146 tons of chlorine gas. The first chemical weapon of modern warfare had been implemented. In a bitter foreshadowing of the marginalized being the first ones gassed, that initial attack fell mainly on the dark-skinned Algerian forces under French command. In the following days, Canadian and British troops were also hit. No respirators were available, although makeshift protective gear was improvised by soaking handkerchiefs in urine.
In December 1996, Canada's Lower House of Parliament voted to ban MMT, and in april 1997, Canada's Senate followed suit. Needless to say, Ethyl sued, creatively invoking clauses of the North American Free Trade Agreement and claiming 250 million dollars in damages. By July 1998, faced with a costly legal battle, Canada backed off, re-scinding its ban. Ethyl stock jumped by more than 6 percent. MMT is still pumping in Canada—with a concentration of up to eighteen milligrams of metallic manganese equivalent per liter of gasoline.121 In South America, China, and Europe, MMT use is also widespread.

The studies were published in the april 2007 issue of the journal Tobacco Control. "In both the civilian and military sectors, smoking has been linked to disability and job-related outcomes, including decreased productivity, increased absenteeism, and long and more frequent work breaks," reported Terry L. Conway, Ph.D. and colleagues at San Diego State University Graduate School of Public Health. The study of civilians was conducted by Dr. Petter Lundborg, an economist at the Free University of Amsterdam.

FDA hoodwinks public over CAM Guidelines comment period, slams door shut on public comments one month early

Mike Adams, the Health Ranger

The Guidelines state the public will have a "90 day comment period" in which to post comments on the proposal, but the initial closing date for public comments was posted as april 30 -- leaving just two months for comments, not three as explained in the Guidelines themselves.

Urgent action needed to help stop "FDA Evilization Act of 2007"

Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
See article keywords and concepts
On Monday, april 30th, the Senate is expected to vote on the FDA Evilization Act of 2007 (oops, I mean the "Revitalization Act"). This is a bill that has some good points (such as banning advertising on new drugs until they're on the market for two years) but also contains some extremely dangerous provisions that have been exposed by Byron Richards, an author and nutritional supplement formulator who has been working to protect health freedom for decades.

FDA's attempts to slip its CAM Guidelines under the radar fail; deadline for public comment extended to May 29

Many of these remaining people may still want to submit comments, but may not be able to do so by april 30, 2007, a stated deadline for comments. While the Federal Register Notice states such a time limit for the filing of comments, there is other indication of a 90 day comment period, after the date of publication in the Register. This would extend to period until May 28, 2007.

April 7, 2004, Linda Johnson reported in the Associated Press that Medco settled with states for $29 million. Medco pressured doctors to change prescriptions to improve rebates and bottom lines.2 Pharmacists have an opportunity to intervene in corrupt medico-industry practices. They have the knowledge to serve patients by demanding that dangerous drugs be removed from the market. Their professional knowledge allows them to translate "anecdotal stories" into meaningful statistics that impact on patient welfare.

That interview asks the important question: Why was the CAM Guidelines document posted in the Federal Register on February 27, with a comment deadline of april 30, when the document itself says there will be a 90 day comment period? The Integrator asks, "Can't you see how, with a suspicious public out there and all this hoopla that just extending to 90 days from February 27 makes some sense." Later in that interview, Philip Chao is asked if his middle name is Darth Vader. His response? "No it is not.

New York Times, april 12, 2005] Recently The Cancer Treatment Centers of America sponsored a study that conclusively found antioxidant therapy does not interfere with radiation treatment. [3rd Annual Conference, Society for Integrative Oncology, Boston, Nov. 12, 2006] Researchers at Ohio State University report that a derivative of vitamin E causes the death of cancer cells. Vitamin E succinate, available as a dietary supplement, causes cancer cells to die off without toxicity or harm to healthy cells. This has been known for some time, but now the mechanism is better understood.

TV-caused Autism If you have children under three years old and are concerned about their health and wellbeing, you ought to take this good advice from the British publication the Guardian Unlimited on april 24, 2007. It reported new research linking autism in young children to the harmful effects that watching television can have on their physical and mental wellbeing.
CBS's famous Sixty Minutes national TV show (aired 1st april 2007), revealed the biggest ever health scandal, which so far cost the American public nearly $1.5 trillion. The scam is orchestrated by the pharmaceutical companies, which through powerful lobbying in the American Congress, helped pass a prescription drug bill that prevents Medicare from buying prescription drugs at a discounted rate for their members. Other institutions, such as the U.S.

What If Medicine Disappeared?

This is what I learned on april 12, 1955: That each summer I would no longer be prevented from swimming in public pools; that innocent children no longer would suffer as did Franklin D. Roosevelt; that the March of Dimes was victorious; that no longer would the first association with the word "Jew" be Julius and Ethyl Rosenberg, who had been executed in 1952; that there was a new hero to worship. On that day, Jonas Salk announced the successful testing of a vaccine against polio, the last of the dreaded infectious diseases to be controlled. There was a new hero. My family rejoiced.

Omaha Shooter Robert Hawkins Had Been "Treated" For ADHD, Depression

When you combine that with a propensity for violence, you create a dangerous recipe for school shootings and other adolescent violence. In april of this year, I also reported on the link between antidepressant drugs and the Virginia Tech shooting. See http://www.newstarget.com/021798.html What I said in that article has urgent application right now, following the Omaha shooting: A study published in the Public Library of Science Medicine (an open source medical journal) explored these same links in detail.
It all started in Columbine, Colorado, when Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold massacred their way into the history books on april 20, 1999 by killing 12 and wounding 23 people. The mainstream media virtually glorified the event, yet utterly failed to report the connection between violence in young men and treatment with psychiatric drugs. (Both Harris and Klebold were taking antidepressant drugs.) It's a little known fact that antidepressant drugs have never been tested on children nor approved by the FDA for use on children.

American Assoc Cancer Research, april 8, 2003; J National Cancer Institute 95: 779-90, 2003] Chemoprevention of breast cancer Cancer doctors have hopes that, some day, breast cancer can be prevented before it occurs. In 1998, Tamoxifen became the first drug employed to prevent breast cancer. Women aren't buying into the idea of taking Tamoxifen to prevent breast cancer. They are wary of side effects. [Journal National Cancer Institute 96: 1410-12, 2004] In a study where women at risk for breast cancer were offered Tamoxifen, only 43% elected to take it, mostly out of fear of side effects.

In eleven years of operation until the time of the fire, it had never once been inspected by federal, state, or local safety regulators. In april 1996, the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration presented the National Museum of American History with two charred doors left as a record of the Imperial Food Products disaster.28 As the Hamlet fire makes clear, even if, at long last, regulations are finally on the books, inspection deferred is protection denied.
