"Smokers and obese people are already being denied operations such as IVF, breast reconstructions and a new hip or knee in some parts of England. "
"The health system in the UK cannot cope with the rising number of under-65s with long-term medical conditions and needs "radical change", says a study in The Lancet."
"With Britain’s obesity levels shooting up, and greater understanding of just how bad for us sugar can be, the hunt is on for alternatives. But there’s a problem. Many sugar substitutes are synthetics that are no better for us than real sugar. What’s more, some of these synthetics – aspartame and acesulfame-K to name just two – have been linked to cancer. "
"Rather than blindly cutting Carbohydrates and increasing protein and fat intake, you should opt for a healthy ratio of 30% protein, 15% fat, and 55% Complex Carbohydrates. This ratio will help you to lose weight steadily and safely. The key is to reduce fat and SIMPLE carbohydrates not Carbohydrates in general."
"We are now in a new world order, largely planned and enacted by the Chicago School of economics, and promoted by successive Governments. I would strongly recommend reading "The Shock Doctrine" by the Canadian author Naomi Klein, to look at how this process has been achieved throughout the world. You will see how it is being done in England."
"SMOKING does not cost the NHS money: nor does obesity. Nor even does booze. So we can tell the health wowsers to bugger off the next time they use that argument upon us."
"(NaturalNews) Some people are literally stumbling through life thinking they are a klutz when really gluten is to blame. Before gastrointestinal symptoms like upset stomach appear, neurological damage may already be done, according to the Center for Peripheral Neuropathy. The Gluten Free Society calls gluten a "potential neurotoxin." Gluten damage may cause everything from unexplained dizziness to numbness in the hands and feet.
"
"Grown without chemicals and loaded with nutrition, these 11 foods will keep you (and the planet) healthy for life."
"Being compassionate should be as important as being clever when it comes to the recruitment of staff to care for the elderly, experts say."
What alarms me is that this even needs to be said. Compassion should never have stopped being the primary requirement. And this certainly shouldn't be news. Sad that we've stooped so low as to prompt these needs.
"The goal of the exercise is to rewire your memory and tie the craving with the consequence, not the reward."
"Dopamine is a brain chemical messenger that is critically important in reward and motivation. Some research suggests that one of its central roles is to send a signal to the brain to 'seek something enjoyable'. Indeed, dopamine is released during many rewarding experiences, including taking drugs, smoking, having sex, and eating food."
"Why not try to enlist our friends, subscribers, Twitter followers, and other readers to spread the word? I suggest, on appropriate posts, adding a footnote along these lines:-"
"So - a simple question - if the new Government proposals are so good, why are there threats to silence those who disagree?"
"Andrew Lansley, the health secretary, has been accused of “bullying” NHS staff who speak out against his NHS shakeup after a senior doctor who signed a letter criticising the proposed changes was threatened with disciplinary action."
"The e-petition calling on the Government to drop its Health and Social Care Bill has now reached 139,400 signatures to become the second most popular campaign on Number 10’s official petition site – having already passed the 100,000 milestone to qualify for a debate in the House of Commons."
"Magnesium supplementation appears to achieve a small but clinically significant reduction in BP, an effect worthy of future prospective large randomised trials using solid methodology," wrote researchers"
"Over the past year the amount of recommended supplementation has increased from 400 to 800 IU for adults and from 200 to 400 IU for children. New guidelines just released from a study published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, offer additional guidelines that increase the recommended dosage of Vitamin D supplementation to maintain optimal health. "
"A third of family doctors say their patients are being put at risk in NHS hospitals because of ‘dangerously’ poor care, a survey has revealed.
They liken wards to ‘factory production lines’ and admit they would not refer their own family.
One said he would not even like his dog to be treated at one hospital."
"They’ve pocketed billions in bonuses. They’ve wrecked the global economy. Now the fat cats want to bleed the NHS dry."
"Tomorrow’s Times adds to the metric tonnage (£) of commentary observing that it is “extraordinary that Andrew Lansley is still in position” having — from the perspective of both the government, health professionals and much of the public — thoroughly botched the Health and Social Care Bill."
