Sott.net 2007-09-04 01:56:00 Comment: Today, 31st May 2013, is 'World No Tobacco Day', first 'celebrated' by the World Health Organization in 1987. It is "intended to encourage a 24-hour period of abstinence from all forms of tobacco consumption across the globe." (Wiki) Presumably because tobacco smoking is bad for you. But is it really? Certainly, it is not for everyone. And yet, in the face of outlandish claims by 'health experts' since the second half of the 20th century, many enjoy smoking and have benefited from it. So let's get the facts straight. The alleged dangers of Environmental Tobacco Smoke (ETS) are entirely fictional. Smoking does not cause lung cancer. There is even some anecdotal evidence that it protects against lung cancer. Smoking can protect against neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, and it can reduce the psychiatric, cognitive, sensory, and physical effects of schizophrenia. And the children? One study conducted in Sweden observed two generations of Swedish children and found that children of smokers had lower rates of allergic rhinitis, allergic asthma, eczema, and food allergies. In fact, the health benefits of smoking tobacco appear to extend way beyond all that. A search of the SOTT.net database brings up more evidence, evidence that is either misunderstood because most researchers begin from the inculcated belief that smoking is evil (how scientific!), or because it is simply ignored when it doesn't fit into their perception of the world. When we connect the dots through medicine, science, history, psychology and sociology, the truth emerges plain as day: the all-out global propaganda campaign against tobacco is part of the same push for 'full-spectrum dominance' over humanity in all other spheres. The targets and victims of the fake 'War on Terror' are the same targets of the war against tobacco. We are expected to believe that our wonderful 'leaders' encourage us to eat poisonous GMO food yet are oh, so concerned about the alleged health effects from smoking? Give us a break! And so, in the spirit of resistance against the psychopaths' war on humanity, liberty and true health... Let's All Light Up!
Let's Talk... As Joan Rivers was wont to say. But really, let's have a nice chat about the fact that our whole planet seems to have descended into lunacy! The other day I noticed an interesting article the SOTT editors picked up: Brain cells work differently than previously thought: Nicotine helps to spark creativity which tells us: Increasingly, studies are beginning to show that complex information processing, and perhaps consciousness itself, may result from coordinated activity among many parts of the brain connected by bundles of long axons. Cognitive problems may occur when these areas don't communicate properly with each other. [...] |

George W Bush has risked a backlash from veterans by claiming that he does not feel sorry for soldiers who were injured after he sent them into battle. The former President said that that 'to a certain extent you can't help it' when men got hurt on the battlefield. He claimed that because soldiers are volunteers it absolved him from blame to a degree - and claimed that none of them were angry about their injuries. Mr Bush said: 'You know, I don't feel sorry for them, because they don't feel sorry for themselves'. His comments are likely to be seen by Democrats as another attempt to whitewash his legacy as one of the least popular presidents in history. But they risk angering veterans' groups who have long backed him as a former Commander in Chief. During his presidency Mr Bush embarked on two wars in Iraq and Afghanistan resulting in a total of 6,471 American troops being killed so far. Some 32,000 soldiers were injured in Iraq and 18,000 in Afghanistan, many with horrific injuries such as loss of limbs or psychological scars which will stay with them for the rest of their lives. At least 132,000 civilians have died in both conflicts. Mr Bush was speaking to The Huffington Post during his third annual Warrior 100K, a three-day mountain bike ride hosted at his ranch in Crawford, Texas as a way to show veterans he 'still care(s) about them'. |

The entrance of the European Central Bank (ECB) was blocked by over 3,000 'Blockupy' protestors in a march against austerity. Anti-capitalist protestors have taken to the streets the financial heart of Frankfurt a day ahead of Europe-wide gatherings planned for June 1 to protest leaders handling of the three-year euro debt crisis. "We call up everyone to join our protests." The crowd, estimated at 2,500 by local authorities, is clutching signs demanding 'humanity before profit'. 'Blockupy' has become a top-ten Twitter trend in Frankfurt, and at 10:09am (08:09 GMT), user Enough14 tweeted, "Strong Powerful blockade at Kaiserstr. Not one banker will come through here," in reference to the ECB headquarters, The Guardian reported. |

Banff, Alberta -- Parks Canada officials are advising people in Banff to be on alert after a man told them he fought off an attacking cougar with his skateboard. Bill Hunt, the resource conservation manager for the Banff field unit, said the man was attacked Thursday and originally reported the incident anonymously. But Hunt said officials tracked him down to get more information in order to find the cougar. "I think he was reluctant to contact us right away because he'd be in trouble for striking an animal inside a national park. But of course, in that situation you're in defence mode and it's totally appropriate," Hunt explained Sunday. Hunt said the man told them he was listening to music through earbuds while walking between the townsite and an industrial area when the cougar attacked. "He was hit from behind, knocked to the ground and instantly reacted properly. With a cougar, the correct thing to do is fight back hard and convince that cougar that you're not going to be available for prey," Hunt said. |

Washington state - Officials executed a difficult horse rescue on Tuesday, lifting an 800-pound Norwegian fjord out of a deep Redmond ravine without any injuries. But the most incredible part, says the stable's owner, is how caretakers found the horse - with the help of a telepathic animal communicator. Gemma, a 4-year-old with a history of escaping and other behavior problems, apparently got out of her stall at the Saddle Rock Stables, in the 24000 block of Northeast 115th Street, and slipped 70 feet into a steep ravine nearby before settling on a ledge. Owner Barbara Linstedt said caretakers searched for her for hours before getting connected to acclaimed horse communicator Joan Ranquet on Monday night. |

The decision made by expectant couples to have their births in water attended by dolphins has raised eyebrows. According to a CBS News story, "Dolphin-assisted childbirth is an option that some expectant parents are embracing, claiming it is a more natural, relaxing way to deliver a baby. Adam and Heather Barrington, a North Carolina couple expecting their baby to be delivered in July, have traveled to Hawaii to plan a dolphin-assisted birth at the Sirius Institute, the Charlotte Observer reports. 'It is about reconnecting as humans with the dolphins so we can coexist in this world together and learn from one another,' Heather Barrington told the Observer." Why it is important to Heather Barrington that her newborn connect with dolphins in the first few seconds of his life? The answer can be found in the mission statement of the Sirius Institute, a New Age center dedicated in part to "raising the level of human consciousness to that of the dolphins and integrating the consciousness of the dolphins ... with human consciousness." It's not clear what that means - or why human consciousness needs to be "raised" to dolphin level - but the center provides dolphin-assisted underwater births. |

In 1942 a British forest guard in Roopkund, India, made an alarming discovery. More than three miles above sea level, he stumbled across a frozen lake surrounded by hundreds of human skeletons. That summer, the melting ice revealed even more remains, floating in the water and lying haphazardly around the lake's edges. Since this was the height of World War II, there were fears that the skeletons might belong to Japanese soldiers who had died of exposure while sneaking through India. The British government, terrified of a Japanese land invasion, sent a team of investigators to determine whether this was true. Upon examination they realized these bones weren't Japanese soldiers at all, but of a much much older vintage. But what killed them? Many theories were put forth, including an epidemic, landslide, and ritual suicide. For six decades, no one was able to shed light on the mystery of "Skeleton Lake." In 2004 a scientific expedition offered the first plausible explanation of the mysterious deaths. The answer was stranger than anyone had guessed. |

Russian scientists find mammoth carcass with liquid blood, raising hopes for cloning2013-05-30 12:07:00 Russian researchers say they have discovered a perfectly preserved woolly mammoth carcass with liquid blood on a remote Arctic island, fueling hopes of cloning the Ice Age animal. They say the frozen remains of a female mammoth were so well-preserved that blood was found in ice cavities when they were broken up. Semyon Grigoryev, the head of the Mammoth Museum who led the expedition, said Thursday the carcass was preserved because its lower part was stuck in pure ice. He said the find could provide scientific material for cloning a mammoth. Wooly mammoths are thought to have died out about 10,000 years ago. Scientists have deciphered much of the animals' genetic code from their hair, and some believe it's possible to clone them if living cells are found. Source: Associated Press |

High winds sweeping across Colorado's Front Range forced the diversion of 17 flights scheduled to land at the Denver International Airport. DIA spokeswoman Laura Coale says 11 flights were diverted to Colorado Springs Airport, five went to Cheyenne Regional Airport and one was sent to Fort Collins-Loveland Airport between about 9:40 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. Friday. She didn't know how many airlines were involved. Coale says at one point, incoming flights were delayed by more than an hour and a half, while departing flights were delayed between half an hour and an hour. National Weather Service meteorologist Todd Dankers says the peak wind gust between 10 a.m. and 11 a.m. was 34 mph. Winds shifted late Friday morning, allowing air traffic controllers to use more runways at DIA. |

In Alaska, scores of volcanoes and strange lava flows have escaped scrutiny for decades, shrouded by lush forests and hidden under bobbing coastlines. In the past three years, 12 new volcanoes have been discovered in Southeast Alaska, and 25 known volcanic vents and lava flows re-evaluated, thanks to dogged work by geologists with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the U.S. Forest Service. Sprinkled across hundreds of islands and fjords, most of the volcanic piles are tiny cones compared to the super-duper stratovolcanoes that parade off to the west, in the Aleutian Range. But the Southeast's volcanoes are in a class by themselves, the researchers found. A chemical signature in the lava flows links them to a massive volcanic field in Canada. Unusual patterns in the lava also point to eruptions under, over and alongside glaciers, which could help scientists pinpoint the size of Alaska's mountain glaciers during past climate swings. "It's giving us this serendipitous window on the history of climate in Southeast Alaska for the last 1 million years," said Susan Karl, a research geologist with the USGS in Anchorage and the project's leader. |

Another round of dangerous weather, spawning baseball-sized hail and tornadoes, was predicted for Oklahoma and parts of the Ozarks on Friday, a day after more than a dozen reported twisters ripped through the region, U.S. forecasters said. Storms in Oklahoma and Arkansas left an Arkansas county sheriff dead and at least one man missing in an attempted water rescue and at least five other people injured elsewhere, officials said. "The atmosphere will become extremely unstable this afternoon, especially in Oklahoma, while winds in the atmosphere will be favorable for organized severe storms, including a few supercell thunderstorms," the National Weather Service said in an advisory. The body of Scott County Sheriff Cody Carpenter was recovered early Friday, said Keith Stephens, a spokesman for the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission. Authorities continued to search for another person missing after Thursday night's rescue attempt along the Fourche La Fave River. Another man died in Tull when a tree fell on his car during a possible tornado, said Pete Roberts, Grant County sheriff's office chief deputy. Arkansas had numerous reports of damage from high winds, heavy rain and possible tornadoes. Entergy Arkansas reported more than 30,000 customers without power. |

Thunderstorms with torrential rains moved across the Kansas City area early Friday morning causing life-threatening flash flooding. Emergency crews, especially in the southern part of the metropolitan area, responded to numerous reports of drivers stuck in high water after they drove into water-covered roads. The drivers became stranded by the fast rising and swift moving waters. The National Weather Service in Pleasant Hill, Mo., continued a flash flood warning for most of the Kansas City area until 11 a.m. Friday. The warning is in effect for Johnson, northern Miami and southern Leavenworth County in Kansas and southwestern Lafayette, northwestern Johnson, southern Jackson and northern Cass counties in Missouri. The National Weather Service said radar indicated at 6 a.m. Friday that thunderstorms with torrential rainfall was moving across the southern Kansas City metropolitan area. |

Scotland - There's something fishy about a sea creature that washed up on a Tayside beach. Locals were left scratching their heads after the fearsome looking remains of the dead animal were found by a passing local on Easthaven beach. Measuring between four and five feet long, the creatures's jaw is also filled with a set of sharp teeth. Dozens of people have speculated online about what the mystery sea creature could be. Some have suggested it could be a Conger Eel that has washed up, whereas others believe it could be a ling. But some locals have pointed out that the grisly remains could be a shark or a pike. More amusing suggestions even say it could be a dinosaur or the Loch Ness monster. |

President Obama issued this threat to the American people in his 2013 State of the Union Address (SOTU): "But for the sake of our children and our future, we must do more to combat climate change....Now, the good news is, we can make meaningful progress on this issue while driving strong economic growth....But if Congress doesn't act soon to protect future generations, I will." President Obama talks as if only he was reelected in 2012. He fails to recall that the entire House of Representatives was on the ballot with him. And the American people elected a majority of Republicans to the House, not to be a rubber stamp on anything Obama wants, but as a check on Obama excesses, which is what they serve as. Obama cited as support for his threatened global warming regulatory jihad, "Yes, it's true that no single event makes a trend. But the fact is, the 12 hottest years on record have all come in the last 15." The fact is also, however, that years of decline from a peak in global temperatures, as occurred in 1998 due to the entirely natural El Nino effect that year, can also be among the warmest on record. (That global temperature record he is talking about only goes back about 125 years, most of which has been reflecting recovery of global temperatures from the "Little Ice Age" occurring roughly from 1350 to 1850.). |

It is no secret that the number of people with either gluten sensitivity or gluten intolerance, the latter of which is often diagnosed as Celiac disease, is on the rise all across the world. But what is commonly misunderstood about the difficulty or inability to digest wheat-containing foods is that "wheat gluten" literally represents a conglomerate of tens of thousands of potentially deadly proteins that are all capable of wreaking havoc on the body. Sayer Ji, nutrition educator and Founder of GreenMedInfo.com, explains in a recent writeup how modern wheat is basically a byproduct of three different ancestral wheat varieties combined into one. The flour used in most processed foods and breads on the market today, in other words, comes from a hybridized form of wheat that seems to be responsible for causing an increasing number of people to experience serious health problems, including things like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), brain "fog," and hyperactivity disorders. |

One of the hottest and most controversial issues in the world today is genetic engineering. With protests against Monsanto on May 25th in over 400 cities, people have shown that this is a topic they truly care about. Largely, the stances are highly polarized with opponents saying it is all cancer causing, poisonous, and environmentally dangerous and supporters saying it is wonderful, improving yield and making everyone except "anti-science" opponents happy. The problem with polarized positions is they almost always miss the reality of the issue and avoid talking about the general facts. Polarized texts instead skip directly to the evidence supporting their position. But, in real life, I think it is important to lay out exactly what we are talking about before we try to say if it is "good" or "bad." The first question we have to address, before we talk about the potential and danger of genetic modification, is what exactly is genetic modification? If you want to avoid the science, you can just skip the next 3 paragraphs. Otherwise, I can advise continuing to read, using the sources I provide, or using a search engine. |

As a reminder, recently news broke out that a rogue genetically modified strain of wheat developed by Monsanto, had been found in an Oregon field late last month. But while modified food has long been a diet staple, this particular breed was the first discovery of an unapproved strain, and what made things worse is the lack of any information how the rogue grain had escape from a field trial a decade ago. As Reuters reports, "even after weeks of investigation, experts are baffled as to how the seed survived for years after Monsanto had ceased all field tests of the product. It was found in a field growing a different type of wheat than Monsanto's strain, far from areas used for field tests, according to an Oregon State University wheat researcher who tested the strain." The USDA was quick to deny any suggestion of public danger: |

Coenzyme Q10 is a chemical which plays a key role in the production of energy in the body's cells. Specifically, this substance participates in the processes within tiny powerhouses in cells known as 'mitochondria' (my-toe-con-dree-ah). Coenzyme Q10 is essential for the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), a basic currency for energy in the body. All of us need could do with maintaining coenzyme Q10 levels, and this has particular relevance to individuals who take statins: these drugs impair the product of coenzyme Q10. There is plenty of evidence in animals and humans that statins can indeed deplete the body of coeynzme Q10 [1]. The heart is a muscle, the cells of which contain mitochondria which depend on coenzyme Q10. Back in January, I wrote a post which explored the possibility that statins may be contributing to increasing incidence of heart failure (weakened heart function that can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, breathlessness and swelling in the legs). The role of coenzyme Q10 depletion in heart has been highlighted by studies in which supplementation with it has been found to improve heart function [2]. Recently, though, there were reports (example here) of a new study which appears to have found that coenzyme Q10 supplementation can prevent major cardiovascular events (such as heart attacks) and save lives. | |

Smoking Out The Truth 2011-04-14 09:55:00
The "Charities" (arf arf) are prone to suggest that 153% of smokers urgently want to quit smoking, which they call an "addiction". Looney Luke Clancy was bouncing this particular ball in lavish surroundings in Europe this month, courtesy of his paymasters at Pfitzer. In the conference report, the 'Loon' admits to being on the Pharmaceutical payroll for his 'research' into replacement products, or nicotine patches to you and me. So, the message from that quarter is, if you are spending €8.00 a day on cigarettes, we will force you to buy patches instead, thus increasing my employers profits and lining my own pockets with more research money. For readers who may not be familiar with this particular Doctor, he is the Father of the Irish smoking ban, having been CEO of the terrorist organisation ASH at the time our feeble minded Minister for Health put pen to the law. But, the big question is, is smoking an addiction, a dependence or a habit? |

It's time to roll up your sleeve and save a life - including yours. Every two seconds, someone in the United States needs blood, with a total of 44,000 blood donations needed every day, reports the American Red Cross. One whole blood donation, which takes approximately 45 minutes to an hour, can come to the rescue of as many as three patients. Harold Mendenhall, an 84-year-old lifetime blood donor from South Florida donated his 100th gallon of blood, The Palm Beach Post reports. He started giving blood on July 7, 1977 when his wife, Frankie, was diagnosed with breast cancer. After she died, going to the blood bank was a way Mendenhall could deal with the grief of losing his wife and later his two sons. At least he could save those who needed a blood transfusion. Mendenhall, strong and healthy, donates six gallons of blood a year by platelets. In a platelet donation, a machine withdrawals the blood, filter out the platelets and returns the rest of the blood to the donor, according to the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. This donation procedure takes 70 to 90 minutes can be done once every seven days, allowing for the donor to give blood every few weeks instead of the eight weeks of waiting required for a non-platelet donation. Whole blood donors can also donate platelets 72 hours after a whole blood donation, and vice versa. Blood donors must be 17 years old in most states, with some states lowering the limit to 16 years old with parental consent. Donors ages 16-18 are also subject to additional height and weight restrictions, says the New York Blood Center. A single individual that donates whole blood starting at 17 years old every 56 days until they reach 76, will have donated 48 gallons of blood, potentially saving more than 1,000 lives says the American Red Cross. While the health benefits of recipients who receive blood transfusions are clear, altruistic blood donors too, can reap the benefits. |

In an extraordinary editorial and feature article, Nature one of the world's pre-eminent scientific journals, has effectively admonished the chair of the Harvard School of Public Health's nutrition department, Walter Willett, for promoting over-simplification of scientific results in the name of public health and engaging in unseemly behavior towards those who venture conclusions that differ to his. Willett, who is one of the most frequently quoted academic sources on nutrition in the news media, appears to have crossed a Rubicon when he denounced Katherine Flegal, an epidemiologist at the US National Center for Health Statistics, for publishing a study that showed people who were overweight (but not obese) lived longer than those deemed normal weight. "This study is really a pile of rubbish, and no one should waste their time reading it," he told National Public Radio. | |

Washington - A new report published Monday by the National Transportation Safety Board advises motorists that sending text messages while driving "is totally fine" and "not that big a deal" as long as you make sure to glance up from your phone every now and then. "If you're driving and have a really important text to send, that's okay; just try to keep one eye on the road as best you can," NTSB chairman Deborah Hersman said of the report, which advocates a new "50-50 rule" for texting drivers, suggesting they keep half their attention on the road and half on their handheld device. "After all, you can always steer with your knees or - if you really want to be extra careful - text with one hand and hold the wheel with the other. Better yet, just ask a passenger to give you a heads-up whenever there's a red light or another car up ahead." Hersman added that the report's findings apply not only to texting, but also to checking email, playing games, or watching movies while driving. |
