Posted By Gerald PuglieseFrom Disease-ProofOkay, imagine you’re overweight. Is it your fault or the food companies’ fault? Personally, I’d blame myself. Diet-Blog asks the same question; Personal Responsibility or Blame Food Companies? Take a look:We are the ones who wear the robes and carry the gavel when it comes to what enters our mouths.

The pharma water cooler

post from The Diabetes Blog on 17 July 2007 07:32:00 PM. © The Diabetes Blog

Filed under: Type 1, Type 2, Childhood, Adult Onset, Drugs, Opinion, Blogs, Support

The CafePharma message boards are for pharmaceutical sales professionals and those interested in the pharmaceutical industry. A former Lilly sales rep started a thread about Eli Lilly and the lies they've told over the years. Pro Lilly responses flooded in, as did the anti-Lilly responses. Yesterday, however, two comments seemed to hit the message board with a vengeance.

Comments #23 and #24 epitomize the anatomy of a good old fashioned debate. Comment #23 is an Eli Lilly sales rep who claims to have helped with the successful launch of rDNA insulin, and the conversion of patients on pig and cow insulin to Humulin. He remarked from the perspective of a salesman that it was a successful venture resulting in unilateral domination. In response to his yesteryear achievement - commenter #24 raised some wonderful counter-points for modern day consideration. The following paragraph summarizes the results 25 years after the market saturation of Humulin and genetically modified human insulin.

The adverse events include: (1) Complications of diabetes are increasing. (2) Dead-in-bed syndrome is up over 300%. (3) Traffic accidents caused by people using rDNA insulins are increasing (especially in Type 2). (4) rDNA insulins are producing immunogenic responses in the same manner and numbers in the diabetic population as did pig and cow insulins. (5) No long-term studies have ever been conducted to define the dangers of the synthetic insulin hormones relative to cancer and other diseases.

Of course my favorite point is the fact that recent studies have shown that the culprit in many Type 1 diabetics may actually be the human insulin antibody produced by the diabetic. This may be self-serving beyond Type 1 diabetics needing insulin - it's giving Type 2s the very same problem. Kudos to Flickr for the perfect vision of diabetic salvation - the water cooler!

I'm Too Young For This! voted one of the best
websites

post from The Cancer Blog on 17 July 2007 03:06:00 PM. © The Cancer Blog

Filed under: Daily news

We've raved about the website I'm Too Young For This before. It was created by a young cancer survivor named Matthew Zachary who wanted to let young adults struggling with cancer know that they might be younger than the typical cancer patient, but they're not alone.

Lots of other people like this website too. In fact, it was voted one of the 50 Best Websites by TIME Magazine. It ranked at #18, to be exact. Congratulations to Matthew and the team ... I think it's great what they're doing for cancer patients and I hope they can keep up the good work for a long, long time.

Don't hyperventilate: Breathing less is best for
asthmatics

Filed under: Alternative therapies

When having an asthma attack, the bodies first instinct is to breathe more. But according to That's Fit, the key for asthmatics -- and everyone else for that matter -- is breathing less. Hyperventilation is linked to a number of health problems and it's believed that if people can slow their breathing, they'll be healthier overall especially asthmatics.

The solution? It's called The Buteyko method and it's a series of exercises that people can do to improve their breathing. And in clinical trials, use of broncodilators dropped 90% and use of inhaled steroids dropped by 50% when the method was employed. That's pretty promising, huh?

If you're interested in learning more about the method, check out this article.

Lifestyle strategies for your healthiest heart

Filed under: Women Heart Health, Men Heart Health, Aging Heart Health

We often post tips and facts about having a healthy heart, but over at That's Fit, I think this post sums up what you need to do to have a healthy heart. Here's what they recommend:

Get a good night's sleep
Get active -- this especially includes resistance training
Drink wine in moderation
Eat fish, or some other source of Omega 3's
Floss regularly
Quit smoking
Take a daily walk
An aspirin a day can take the heart problems away -- but talk to your doctor first.

Whether or not you have heart problems, I think these are great suggestions that can make a healthy difference in your life and keep your ticker ticking for years to come. I especially like the wine bit. How about you?
