Coumadin Sample WARNING!

WARNING!

If you are taking Coumadin, or know anyone taking Coumadin, it is imperative that you and they read this warning!

Bristol-Myers Squibb has made a grievous error in free sample packets of Coumadin they had manufactured.

If you have recently received a free sample pack of Coumadin from your doctor, DO NOT USE IT!

An alert has been just issued by the FDA for an urgent recall for the 1mg strength Coumadin sample packs because taking them could put you in dire straits.

The recall was initiated by Bristol-Myers Squibb when they realized that a key ingredient that activates the Coumadin was not working properly, which could make your medication extremely dangerous, if not deadly.

The unsafe sample packs are from lot numbers:

Lot# 9A48931A, 9A48931B, 9A48931C, all with expiration dates of January 2012.

Please pass this warning on to anyone you know is on heart medication.

To your good heath & longevity.

Malaria drug quinine (Qualaquin) for nocturnal leg cramps? Check again!

July 8, 2010 ­ Physicians should not prescribe the malaria drug quinine (Qualaquin) for nocturnal leg cramps ­ an off-label use ­ because it may result in serious and life-threatening hematologic adverse effects, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced today.

Quinine, marketed by AR Scientific, is approved only for uncomplicated malaria caused by the parasite Plasmodium falciparum, according to the agency.

The FDA issued a similar warning in 2006, but the agency noted today that the majority of quinine used in the United States is still for the prevention or treatment of leg cramps.

Quinine therapy may result in thrombocytopenia, which can cause serious bleeding, or hemolytic-uremic syndrome/thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, which may lead to permanent kidney damage. The FDA said that it received 38 reports of serious adverse events associated with quinine between April 2005 and October 1, 2008, in the United States through its Adverse Event Reporting System. Only 1 patient was taking quinine to treat malaria. Two patients died.

Under a risk management plan approved by the agency, the drug’s manufacturer will issue a letter to prescribers warning of the risk for hematologic reactions to the drug. In addition, patients must be given a medication guide explaining what quinine is and is not approved for, and its potential adverse effects.

To report any adverse events related to quinine, contact MedWatch, the FDA’s safety information and adverse event reporting program, by telephone at 1-800-FDA-1088, by fax at 1-800-FDA-0178, online at http://www.fda.gov/medwatch, or by mail to MedWatch, FDA, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, Maryland 20852-9787.

“The Most Important Health Discovery for the 21st Century.”

I use this quotation by Marc Sorneson, EdD because this discovery will become our health salvation and destroyer of disease.

I learned the hard way.

You don’t really appreciate your good health unless you lose it —- as I did mine.

I was also shocked to learn that the medical profession had no cure for my debilitating disease, and not being ready to have my life shortened— I began looking for alternatives.

Being persistent, I learned that although drugs could not cure me, nutrition and nutritional supplements could, and cure me it did.

I no longer have congestive heart failure, but that’s another story.

What is of immense value to you, me, and all we know, is what I subsequently learned —- had I been taking a sufficient quantity of ONE, easy to take, inexpensive, NUTRIENT —- I never would have developed heart disease and gone through all that misery, and that is what I want to talk to you about.

It is well known that there are multi-millions of people in this country and many more millions around the world who are on drugs, have no hope for a cure, or have no knowledge of how to keep from developing or catching life threatening diseases.

I now know that that can now change.

With that change, millions of people would be taken off the Medicare rolls.

Think about what that would do for health care systems around the world! Read the rest of this entry »

Can you afford the cost of diabetes?

In a new study by researchers based at the University of Chicago, and recently published in the journal “Diabetes Care”, it was determined that the number of diagnosed and undiagnosed diabetics will climb from almost 24 million this year to about 44 million in 2034.

Over the same period, annual diabetes related treatment costs are expected to increase from $113 billion to $336 billion, (based on the value of the dollar in the year 2007), and Medicare spending on diabetes is expected to jump from $45 billion to $171 Billion.

This could exceed current projections for all Medicare costs, the researchers said.

Their advice to slow the growth of diabetes was to exercise more.

Now I do not disagree that exercise is very important and does help.

However, diabetes is not a contagious disease, it is a developed disease, and the lack of exercise if far from the whole story. Read the rest of this entry »

Flu Fighting Liquid Vitamin D-3?

The swine flu news is everywhere and to bring you a healthy perspective this article will clarify what researchers are getting very excited about in fighting the flu with a unique vitamin, plus, I have a major announcement at the end of this article.

So here’s the story…and more!

Influenza broke out at Atascadero State Hospital, CA, with the exception of the ward run by Dr. John Cannell.

Even though the flu jumped from ward to ward all around them, none of the patients in his ward became infected.

Strange indeed.

After much investigation, it was determined that the only difference between the wards was that the patients in Dr. Cannell’s ward had been getting 2,000 iu of Vitamin D every day for months.

Recent scientific studies have proven that vitamin D increases the body’s production of broad-spectrum antimicrobial peptides, peptides that quickly destroy the influenza virus while simultaneously preventing the immune system from releasing too many inflammatory cells called chemokines and cytokines into infected lung tissue.

An excess of inflammatory cells would otherwise damage the lungs.

The detrimental effects of excess inflammatory cells was proven in 1918 when medical scientists did autopsies on some of the fifty million people who died during the 1918 flu pandemic.

It's Food Care!

It is a given that all life begins at the cellular level.

It is also a given that for your cells to function as healthy cells, they must have the energy level they were designed for, 70 to 90 millivolts.

At that level your cells easily absorb nutrients, convert the nutrients into usable components the body needs, then rids itself of the resultant waste created by this conversion process.

Energy also allows your cells to rid themselves of the toxins they absorb from the nutrients (food) you feed them.

When the nutrients you feed your cells contain high levels of toxins, as do most packaged and conventional foods available to us today, the cell’s energy becomes overtaxed, dissipated, and unable to rid themselves of all the toxins.

This condition causes a lowering of the cells millivolt energy level. This results in cellular dysfunction, inflammation, and the beginnings of disease.

Example: Cancer cells have a measurable energy level of 15 to 20 millivolts. Read the rest of this entry »

FDA and Weight Loss Protection?

For a long time we have been telling you how the cozy relationship between the FDA and the drug companies negatively impacts on your health and how hard the FDA comes down on nutritional companies.

Here are two recent announcements by the FDA on weight-loss products —- one a drug and the other a nutritional supplement:

ANNOUNCEMENT ONE:

Giving giant drug companies a free pass. 

Last month, FDA officials announced a safety information review for orlistat, a weight-loss aid.

You probably know this drug by the brand name Alli, made by GlaxoSmithKline. It’s also sold at higher dosage as a prescription drug called Xenical, made by Roche.

At issue are 32 reports of “serious liver injury,” which include six cases of liver failure and 27 cases of hospitalization.

The FDA press release states: “FDA is not advising healthcare professionals to change their prescribing practices with orlistat.”

The agency also advises consumers to continue taking Alli and Xenical as directed.

ANNOUNCEMENT TWO:

A very different and very tough stance by the FDA if you are not a drug company but a supplement maker offering a similar end use product.

This past May, the FDA issued a consumer warning about several (but not all) Hydroxycut weight-loss products. All of these are non-drug items, available over-the-counter.

At issue are 23 reports of liver problems, ranging from jaundice and elevated liver enzymes (indicators of potential liver injury) to one death due to liver failure.

The FDA warning stated: “The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is warning consumers to immediately stop using Hydroxycut products”.

There it is, your FDA always looking out for your interest.

Heaven save us from their protection.

To your good heath & longevity.
