Scheduling a good night's sleep could be one of the smartest health priorities you set. Possible health consequences of getting too little or poor sleep can involve the cardiovascular, endocrine, immune, and nervous systems. In addition to letting life get in the way of good sleep, between 50 and 70 million Americans suffer from a chronic sleep disorder that affects daily functioning and impinges on health…
****Swine Flu Shots May Be Too Little, Too Late to Halt OutbreaksSwine flu vaccines under development by drugmakers may not provide immunity until the last week of November, too late to hold off outbreaks triggered by infected students returning to schools in the U.S. and Europe. The U.S. will receive 45 million vaccine doses by mid-October and get and additional 20 million each week until its full order of 195 million doses from five companies has been received... ****New National Professional Competencies for Teachers of Autism Released by Leaders in the Field The Council for Exceptional Children (CEC) and the Autism Society announced the publication of professional competencies for teaching students with autism spectrum disorders at the Autism Society’s 40th National Conference on Autism Spectrum Disorders in St. Charles, Ill. The competencies will be incorporated into CEC’s resource on highly qualified teachers, What Every Special Educator Needs to Know...****Proof That Thimerosal Induces Autism-Like Neurotoxicity A new scientific study proves that the mercury-based compound used as vaccine preservative -- known as ‘thimerosal’ -- induces neural damage similar to that seen in autism patients. According to the study, thimerosal-induced cellular damage caused concentration- and time-dependent mitochondrial damage, reduced oxidative-reduction activity, cellular degeneration, and cell death. Thimerosal at low concentrations induced significant cellular toxicity in human neuronal and fetal cells. This latest study confirms that damage does occur in human neuronal and fetal cells, even at low concentrations...****Breast-Feeding Linked to Lower Cancer Risk There is new evidence that breast-feeding is associated with a lower incidence of breast cancer among a group of younger women who are at particularly high risk: those with breast cancer in the family. For women with an immediate relative, like a mother or a sister, who had breast cancer, those who breast-fed had a 59 percent lower risk of premenopausal breast cancer...****Unplugged: H1N1 Vaccine DangersSharyl Attkisson, CBS News Medical Correspondent Dr. Jennifer Ashton and NVIC's Barbara Loe Fisher discuss the possible dangers with the H1N1 vaccine.

Both arrived at the same conclusion: Do the right things, and you get measurable benefits… ****A Glimpse into the Scary World of Vaccine AdjuvantsAdjuvants are formulated compounds, which when combined with vaccine antigens intensify the body’s immune response. They are used to elicit an early, high and long-lasting immune response. According to Australian scientist Viera Scheibner Ph.D, “The chemical nature of adjuvants, their mode of action and their reactions are highly variable in terms of how they affect the immune system and how serious their adverse effects are due to the resultant hyperactivation of the immune system. While adjuvants enable the use of less antigen to achieve the desired immune response and reduce vaccine production costs, with few exceptions, adjuvants are foreign to the body and cause adverse reactions”… **** YouTube Special Feature: Say No to the Vaccinewww.youtube. com/watch? v=PbSpPs05YAc ****Oxygen Therapy Offers New Hope for Medically Challenged Patients Connor Barrett was not given much hope when he was born.
