Dr's Now "GIVING" Hepatitis!
Doctor Using Infected Syringes Infected Patients with Hepatitis
New York, NY - A sloppy city anesthesiologist infected 14 patients with hepatitis B and C - and probably spread the liver-attacking viruses to at least 10 more.
Dr. Brian Goldweber used the same syringe to give patients already infected with hepatitis a second dose from anesthesia vials. This “double dipping” contaminated the contents, which he then injected into other patients - spreading the virus, a city Health Department probe found.
Goldweber, a roving anesthesiologist in 10 medical offices across the city, gave a tainted sedative to “multiple patients” from bottles labeled for single-patient use, probers found.
He also used vials from one day to the next, despite handling instructions saying any opened medicine should be discarded after six hours, they found.
“This was a very serious outbreak - and it was preventable,” said Dr. Sharon Balter, a city medical epidemiologist.
Goldweber, identified only as “Anesthesiologist #1″ in a city report, was suspended by the state Health Department last May pending a probe by the Office of Professional Medical Conduct.
He was previously put on probation for three years in 1999 after botching anesthesia in several cases and falsifying records, documents show. In 2002, he admitted lying on a job application.
Goldweber, who had no malpractice insurance, declared bankruptcy.
A dozen sickened patients in Manhattan and Brooklyn are suing Goldweber, as well as Dr. Abbe Carni, the head of his anesthesiology group, and doctors who hired him.
Retired businessman Sam Bernard, 74, died on Oct. 10 after a bout with hepatitis B, which struck following an endoscopy by a Manhattan gastroenterologist who had hired Goldweber for the anesthesia.
“It’s a very scary, devastating situation,” said a 44-year-old Manhattan professional who was hit with hepatitis after a colonoscopy, requiring 48 weeks of treatment.

Hormones Can Add Years of Vitality for Both Men an
This is a very helpful article - I have been having hormone problems but it took me a long time to relate it to hormones.
"Hormones Can Add Years of Vitality for Both Men and Women"
Supplementing the diet with anti-aging hormones is growing in popularity across the country, but it appears that the rise in sales of some hormone supplements may be based more on advertising and promotion than on real science and measurable results. The safest approach may be to boost natural hormone production without risking the side effects of synthetic anti-aging hormone supplements.
The rest of the article is at www.feelgoodforlife.com - on the anti-aging section.

Imagine an 85-year-old widow who lives alone. She can't get around too well, stairs are a problem, and she sometimes forgets to take her medication. She no longer drives, making her increasingly isolated.

Imagine an 85-year-old widow who lives alone. She can't get around too well, stairs are a problem, and she sometimes forgets to take her medication. She no longer drives, making her increasingly isolated.
GRATITUDE
A woman was at work when she received a phone call that her small daughter was very sick with a fever. She left her work and stopped by the pharmacy to get some medication.
She got back to her car and found that she had locked her keys in the car. She didn't know what to do, so she called home and told the babysitter what had happened.
The babysitter told her that the fever was getting worse. She said, 'You might find a coat hanger and use that to open the door.'
The woman looked around and found an old rusty coat hanger that had been left on the ground, possibly by someone else who at sometime had locked their keys in their car.
She looked at the hanger and said, 'I don't know how to use this.'
She bowed her head and asked God to send her help. Within five minutes a beat up old motorcycle pulled up, with man who was wearing an old biker skull rag on his head.
The woman thought, 'This is what you sent to help me?' But, she was desperate, so she was also very thankful.
The man got off of his cycle and asked if he could help. She said,'Yes, my daughter is very sick. I stopped to get her some medication and I locked my keys in my car. I must get home to her. Please, can you use this hanger to unlock my car?
He said, 'Sure.' He walked over to the car, and in less than a minute the car was opened. She hugged the man and through her tears she said, 'Thank you so much! You are a very nice man.'
The man replied, 'Lady, I am not a nice man. I just got out of prison today. I was in prison for car theft.'
The woman hugged the man again and with sobbing tears cried out loud,'Oh, Thank you God! You even sent me a professional!'
Is GOD good or what?

Is The Standard American Diet Bad For You?
Extreme is a good way to describe the diet that most people in America subsist on. Many people wouldn’t look at the standard American diet, and call it extreme; many would just call it normal. But if you look at the diet close-up, we can see that it is pretty extreme, and certainly not healthy.
The Standard American Diet usually consists of a myriad of processed carbs (cereals, breads, pasta, cookies, cakes etc.), processed meat products, and a few fruits and veggies. What you eat is the foundation of your health – so what is in this diet?

Back Pain
I saw an infomercial this morning for a machine called "GetBack2Life" that is supposed to relieve back pain. Has anyone else seen this? Dr. Marc Darrow, Assistant Clinical Professor, UCLA, claims it will cure your back pain by providing a slow, circular movement that loosens tight muscles and releases pressure between the vertebrae to relieve pain. Sounds logical and simple but do you think this is too good to be true?
