The MRSA strain from the cows is believed to be infecting humans. However, humans are not getting it from drinking milk or eating dairy products according to the Lancet Infectious Diseases Journal. The BBC reports that the new bacteria has been dubbed "new MRSA" by its discoverers. The Daily Mail reports that the same strain has been discovered in patients being treated for wound infections. Very few people (under 100) appear to have been infected by the new strain so far. Overuse of antibiotics is being blamed for the new strain, but this has been proven. The Soil Association is calling for an end of the routine use of antibiotics in farming. Permalink | Facebook | Twitter | Recent Headlines | News Feeds (Source: HealthNe...

The UK Advisory Committee on Novel Foods and Processes, after reviewing the evidence, concluded that there was no substantial difference between meat and dairy from cloned cows compared to conventional cows. However, food products from cloned animals and their offspring remain banned in Europe. Use of offspring of cloned cows, sheep and pigs are legal in the U.S., South America, and Asia. Australia is likely to follow suit in a year or two. The European Union (EU) has an effective ban at the moment, but the policy is under review. The UK is also negotiating with the EU regarding the use of clones. There is not much of a theoretical reason to suspect that cloned animals would present a health r...

Raw cow’s milk contains sugar lactose, which we may not be able to digest.  Result: bloating, bad bugs get extra food, problems with digestion and absorption of essential nutrients, etc..  Raw milk is still better then regular, because it contains bacteria, that help to digest it. 2. Raw milk is not homogenized.  Therefore it contains cow’s protein globes, covered by lipids to ensure its passage unchanged into your blood stream.  They may not passé al the time, but still there ...

Although pediatric exclusivity can certainly boost cash flow, tinkering with a drug’s underlying science may actually yield more long-term value, according to a report by Cutting Edge Information, which queried 28 drugmakers as part of its study. What the industry likes to call life cycle management can be pursued through different means, of course. And this includes pediatric exclusivity, new indications, new formulations, patent retention, next generation versions, authorized generics or a form of strategic pricing. But each approach comes with a price. For instance, four of the strategies require clinical trials. As the chart indicates, pediatric exclusivity is the most profit...

Harry Reid's seat in Nevada. Recently she suggested that we should go back to the days when people paid their doctors directly, whether in money, or you know, if they didn't have the money right then, then maybe, barter, with, you know, like, chickens and stuff. That back-to-the-old-days nonsense is so phenomenally stupid, it nearly begged for someone to set up this site:Prices of medical procedures in number of chickens.Make sure to read the fine print to properly adhere to the plan's rules. For big procedures, the site suggests possibly converting to cows. On the other hand, teaching hospitals might consider accepting chicks in order to subsidize medical education--and to pay residents with.

And I do like flowers. One of the things I like about the place where I work now is the fact that it's filled with plants---I don't know enough about horticulture to say what they are---but I think they are mother-in-law's tongue, ferns, philodendrons and other bushy green things. In front of the hospital there's a bed of tiger lillies and I can't wait for them to start blooming now that it's Spring.Our hospital has a horticulture program. Patients who have worked their way up through the privilege level system and are safe enough to leave the ward are allowed to tend the many green plants lining the hallways and windows of the hos...

It made security uptight and were on us any time we had the Snuggies on. The Empress must be latin for uptight. And with such daintiness I model the designer fashion Snuggie. Then it was time for whale watching, or as I later put it, more like escaping the whales. Unfortunatley there were none to be seen, however I did have these few cherished moments to share with you.

Then I read an email on Lactnet that referred to cow’s milk as “bovine infant milk” and that really got me thinking. ~ Is it cruel and unethical to separate calves prematurely from their mothers in order for cows’ milk to be collected for human consumption? Do you have a moral objection to it? Do you also object to eating meat or wearing leather, or are those entirely different issues? ~ Are humans not meant to consume milk specifically designed with particular proteins and antibodies for baby cows? I am just raising the questions; I don’t kn...

There were 100 bloggers and 17 establishments who participated in this food appreciation activity. There were those who were veterans of the previous TriNoma food tour but there were newbies, as well. It was good that we started on time because, though there were fewer restaurants participating this time, it’s still a lot! And we need to be spending more time in each establishment so we could enjoy the food better and interact with the restaurant staff more. So, off we went…(WARNING! LOTS OF FOODIE PICS!

Have you ever wondered what keeps cats curious? If curiosity comes with cows, though, it’s far less clear. How do I know? A respected business leader friend of mine announced to a group of us over dinner one night. “I’ve always wanted to see what makes cows tick … so I’m hanging out with a herd of 'em for one day … to see how they think. After permission from a farmer friend, city slicker Len spent his first and only day-long-bovine-encounter.A week later he replied to our follow-up question … concerning what cows think about....
