Holy tomatoes…the all clear has been given.
What was thought to be bad is now good!
"As of today, FDA officials believe that consumers may now enjoy all types of fresh tomatoes available without concern of becoming infected with salmonella Saintpaul," the outbreak strain.”
Read the story from My Way
So it is now safe to indulge in all types of tomato activity….
Dip your hot dog in homemade catsup.
Coat those ribs in homemade BBQ sauce.
Put a giant slice of beefsteak tomato on your burger.
Make your favorite pasta sauce out of Roma tomatoes.
Or…try this….
Two gangs fight by help of 10 tons of rotten tomatoes. 1st price is a keg of lager ... Note: Certain hot peppers are still on the Beware list

I don’t know if I’m just carrying over my blog earlier today about kidney stones, or just feeling tired or what, but this AARP L site is kind of handy for the person who has medical symptoms and wants to find out what they might be…before making a trip to the doctor….
Like the symptom of sneezing for instance….
Sneezing
Definition
A sneeze is a sudden, forceful, involuntary burst of air through the nose and mouth.
See also:
- Allergen
- Allergic rhinitis
- Allergy to mold, dander, dust
- Allergy and asthma resources
- Common cold
- Vasomotor rhinitis
Alternative Names Sternutation
Considerations
Sneezing is caused by irritation to the mucous membranes of the nose or throat. It can be very bothersome, but is generally not a sign of a serious problem.
Causes
- Allergy to pollen, mold, dander, dust (hay fever)
- Corticosteroid inhalation (from certain nose sprays)
- Drug withdrawal
- Nasal irritants such as dust and powders
- Virus infections (common cold, upper respiratory tract infections, the flu)
Home Care
Avoiding exposure to the offending allergen is the best way to control sneezing caused by allergic diseases.
Tips to reduce your exposure:
- Remove pets from the home to eliminate animal dander
- Change furnace filters
- Use air filtration devices to reduce pollen in the air
- Travel to areas with low pollen counts
In some cases, moving out of a residence with a mold spore problem may be necessary.
For sneezing not caused by an allergy, the problem will disappear when the underlying disorder is cured or treated.
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your provider if sneezing adversely affects your life and home remedies do not work.
What to Expect at Your Office Visit
Your medical provider will obtain a medical history. You may be asked:
- During what time of year is sneezing the worst?
- When did the sneezing begin?
- How long do sneezing episodes last?
- Do you have a history of allergies?
- Have you been outdoors more than usual?
- What have you done to try to relieve the sneezing?
- How well has it worked?
- What other symptoms are also present?
A physical examination will also be performed. The doctor will examine your the upper respiratory tract. In some cases, allergy testing may be needed to provide an accurate diagnosis.
Antihistamines are the first line of therapy for sneezing caused by allergies. Nasal steroid sprays may be helpful in more chronic conditions.
Allergy shots, also called immunotherapy or hyposensitization, may be considered for seasonal or year round symptoms that cannot be managed with other drugs because of their side effects.

People like to blame George Bush for everything nowadays…well, for the past seven years anyway. Being a Conservative and a Republican, and a fan of President Bush (for the most part) I’m not going to be playing that game.
I have also noticed that besides President Bush being blamed for everything under the sun….yes, the sun, the warm, warm sun…global warming climate change is next in line for being blamed for everything wrong in the world.
So, I’m happy to say that last May and June as I was withering in pain equal to if I would have birthed my two children at the same exact moment in time, when I could have been cursing George Bush….it really was global warming that was to blame.
You see, global warming is now thought to be to blame for increasing kidney stones! Who knew?
So maybe I better think about moving someplace much cooler, because even though I'm currently not in an at-risk state, I’ve got a s*#%load more of them lingering there just waiting.
And while I thought perhaps President Bush might do something before November to really get me going….you know, get me so upset, so riled that those stones would implode....I'm worried global warming is going to really heat things up.
Go figure.

Having any trouble carrying on a general conversation with your teen?
What about a conversation about sex?
Can you find the right words?
Can you talk comfortably?
Or haven't you gotten around to it yet because you just don’t know how?
What if your place of employment offered you a series of classes on how to talk to your teen about sex?
Would you jump at it?
“Parents in the training arm of the study attended eight weekly lunch-hour sessions, in groups of about 15. Parents were taught to listen to their children without interrupting or starting to lecture. They also learned how to teach their children decision-making skills, assertiveness skills, and to have confidence in interacting with peers.Between meetings, parents would go home and practice these skills on their teens.
"We'd teach them some skills one week, and they'd come back the next week bubbling over with excitement that they'd talked with their teen about relationships, love, or sex, and -- this was the best part -- their teen had actually engaged in a real conversation with them," Schuster said.Surveys done one week, three months and nine months after the program ended measured its effects. Parents in the program said they had more talks with their teens about sex and they discussed more new topics on sexual matters than ever before."

"Our favorite characters on "Grey's Anatomy" may be able to get away with outrageous behavior on the job, but in real life medical authorities are saying enough. The Joint Commission, an agency that evaluates and accredits more than 15,000 healthcare organizations nationwide, issued a bulletin Wednesday saying that rude, hostile and disruptive behavior among doctors, nurses, pharmacists, therapists, support staff and administrators will no longer be tolerated."
Have you ever experienced "rude, hostile, or disruptive behavior from any in the medical profession? I have experienced "rude" behavior. Nothing more. It is a customer service job. Some people just aren't cut out for it. But obviously, people have had worse experiences or this bulletin wouldn't have been issued. I'd be curious to know what's really going on. Here's the full article from the LA Times ç here

That and The Boy Who Cried Wolf...
How many other "stories" can we link to the salmonella crisis running amok?
Over 1000 people sickened now and still no confirmation as to where the origination of the bacteria is coming from?
Could there be a carrier harboring the strain?
This is now the worst foodborne outbreak in a decade.
A decade!
And the CDC doesn't have a clue?
Last week we were told raw tomatoes were okay again.
They are back in restaurants and stores.
And today, again, we hear certain ones are suspicious.
Also, raw jalapeños are dangerous.
Maybe this isn't the food at all and it is deliberate and that's why they can't find the cause.
"The CDC acknowledges that for every case of salmonella confirmed to the government, there may be 30 to 40 others that go undiagnosed or unreported. "The outbreak could actually be tens of thousands of people rather than 1,000 people," agreed Caroline Smith DeWaal of the consumer advocacy Center for Science in the Public Interest. "It's certainly a disturbing event to have this many illnesses spanning this many months."
Disturbing? That's an understatement. from My Way the full article Salmonella Infects Over 1,000; Peppers Now Eyed

There are many doctors and scientists benefiting from grants doing studies that last for years for everything under the sun. Some of the things they study are laughable. Some of the things they find are by accident, byproducts of current studies they are already doing.
Many medical findings, especially regarding drugs, we take to heart, only to find out years later that the information was misleading. Live and learn, I suppose, but usually at the expense of someone’s health or life.
There is a new report out regarding the testing of cholesterol for children. I have never been much for cholesterol testing. I don’t like getting results of tests like that, and then being complained to by the doctor (like with the awful BMI). Fortunately, I have a very low cholesterol count. Heredity…but I still don’t like the annoyance of being tested for it. But my husband’s side of the family has high cholesterol counts due to heredity.
Years ago one of my kids came back with a high cholesterol count. Because of the heredity aspect, I got worried. I ended up having to take my child to an endocrinologist to be mapped out for risk of heart disease. This was at twelve years old. With the knowledge I gained, we were able to determine that my child was at the same risk that my husband, his father, and his grandmother all had, and that my child would most likely have to go on medication at an early age so as not to end up with the same problems…which have been major.
This was valuable knowledge. It could be lifesaving. But something happened to alter the events. Because of that early cholesterol test at age twelve…when my child (and their spouse) was supposed to start medication, instead they altered their lifestyle so drastically with diet and exercise, that now medication is not necessary.
So, while the link to the study that I am going to give you would to me normally sound frivolous, this time I’m going to agree with it. Children need to eat nutritious food. Mine did all their lives at home…totally balanced meals. But when you have a hereditary problem, you’ve got to go a little bit further.

When I was a kid we would head out to a picnic with a huge watermelon and store it in the fresh, cool brook at my aunt’s country home in Connecticut. The brook fed her pond. While we swam in the pond until lunchtime, the watermelon would get nice and ice cold.
Well, guys…this July 4th, you may want to keep your watermelon at room temperature, at least according to the latest study .

A symptoms checklist, combined with a blood test, can catch 80 percent of ovarian cancer in its earliest, most curable stages, a new study suggests.
Doctors used to call ovarian cancer "the silent killer." That's because it was thought to have no symptoms until the very late stages of disease. But women who had or who survived ovarian cancer insisted that they knew something was wrong, long before doctors finally diagnosed their malignancy.
Finally, a doctor listened. University of Washington researcher Barbara Goff, M.D., and colleagues analyzed patients complaints and, in a groundbreaking 2004 study, announced to the medical world that ovarian cancer is not silent.
The symptoms:
Bloating or increased abdominal size
Pelvic or abdominal pain
Eating difficulty or feeling full too quickly
Read the article from CBS News
Symptoms Warn of Ovarian Cancer ç here
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bloating?
Abdominal pain?
Feeling full too quickly?
I'll be blunt....I have those symptoms almost every day!
Many women over 40 do.
I knew a woman who recently died of ovarian cancer...her gynecologist wouldn't even see her when she called complaining of symptoms.
Her symptoms?
Deep rectal pain and pressure in her lungs (because her lungs filled up with fluid).
She did all the right things, too...she had regular female check-ups. She was the perfect weight. She exercised every day. The GYN sent her to her family physician because she had "rectal pain." She had stage 4 ovarian cancer.
My point?
Everyone is different. I'm not saying ignore this study. But, if you have other symptoms and you don't feel right...go to your doctor and complain until you do feel right. Because it's easy to blow you off or send you somewhere else.
A good doctor will listen to you. And we all know about these studies...they change like the wind.

Drugs cost enough money the way it is.
We’re all feeling the pain when it comes to insurance and medical costs.
You want to believe you are being charged the least possible price for medicines at the drug store.
Here are the latest allegations about Walgreens:
“To save taxpayer dollars, Medicaid limits how much it pays for popular forms of drugs. But it doesn’t bother to set price-ceilings on rarely used versions. Take generic Zantac, or ranitidine, for example. The antacid is a huge seller in tablet form. Medicaid limits payment to 34 cents apiece. The same drug as capsules has no price-ceiling because it was so rarely prescribed. Medicaid pays $1.25 each. Walgreens figured it could pocket millions by switching patients from tablets to capsules.”
Read the story from CBS News ç here
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And another topic...
I don’t know if you’ve ever gotten an insurance Explanation of Benefits (EOB) in the mail after visiting your doctor. Here’s what I’ve found several doctor’s offices have done in the past. They do a procedure in the office and choose a “code” to mail in to insurance. You get the EOB and it states that you had something totally different done.
I’ve had EOBs say I had surgery done at a doctor’s office. Upon calling, the doctor’s office will just say, “That’s just the code we use.” Well, that code allows them to be reimbursed for higher fees. The fact is, I never had a surgical procedure and should not be charged as if I did, and that should be reported to the insurance company. This has happened to me more than once, at different offices. I know other people who have complained of the same thing. It pays to read your doctor bills and compare them to your EOBs.
And we wonder why insurance costs are rising so much.

I’m not sure what’s more scary.…the tomatoes in the photo or the scientist!
Anyway…lately, it’s always something.
Another salmonella scare.
What…did we just not used to find out about all of them?
Did they just get overlooked or not reported?
That’s what I’m thinking.
Sure…we’re a society that’s eating out more.
I know that must be part of it.
But it sure does seem like every time we turn around, there's another food scare.

When you first step onto the Wii Balance Board, a sturdy platform that comes with the system, it asks for your age and height and figures out your body mass index (BMI). Sensors in the board detect a user's weight and balancing skills, too, because you are given a balance assessment. Once you get past the assessment, you can pick a trainer -- male or female, and then choose from aerobics, strength training, yoga or balance. Each segment (there are more than 40) is only about three to five minutes -- not enough to break a sweat in a serious gym rat, but okay for the person who wants to have some fun and start an exercise regimen.

With more teens getting less physical education in school, eating fewer balanced meals at home, and spending more time on the computer, anything they can do to keep off a few pounds can help.
A good breakfast can do just that….
Lean Teens Eat Breakfast
Among teenagers, eating breakfast helped adolescents weigh less, exercise more and overall have a much healthier diet than their non-breakfast eating peers, according to researchers from the University of Minnesota School of Public Health.
The researchers followed over 2,000 teenagers in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area, and tracked their weight, eating patterns and other lifestyle habits for five years. The article, which was published in the journal of Pediatrics in March of 2008, stated that the teenagers were just under 15 year of age at the start of the study.
Studies have indicated that breakfast eating declines during adolescence. Some data reveals that only 14% of 12-19 year olds consistently eat breakfast. The purpose of this study was to explore the association between eating breakfast and weight change within a five year period in an adolescent population.
The findings revealed that children who ate breakfast regularly were more healthy overall. In addition, breakfast eaters in this study had a lower body mass index (BMI), according to the authors. BMI measures weight relative to height. The higher the BMI, the more overweight a person is. Teenagers in the study who consistently skipped breakfast weighed on average about 5 pounds more compared to teenagers who included breakfast in their everyday routine.
In this study, although breakfast eaters consumed a greater amount of energy, carbohydrates, and fiber, they consumed lower percentages of total calories from saturated fat. This dietary intake has been shown to improve energy balance and weight control since fiber rich foods (foods most consumed at breakfast) contributeto better glucose and insulin control which leads to an increased satiety and ultimately lower body weight.
This study supports the importance of consistent breakfast consumption in improving overall dietary intake, contributing to healthy weights and promoting a healthy lifestyle in youth. As the rates of breakfast consumption declines throughout the teenage years and early adulthood, the impact of consistent breakfast consumption may be an important indicator of an overall healthful lifestyle pattern in adolescents. Furthermore, thefact that regular consumption of breakfast is associated with a healthier weight and less weight change over time, may serve as an important message to teenagers who are engaging in unhealthy dietary behaviors, such as skipping breakfast, in their effort to lose weight. Educational efforts should focus on the importance of breakfast whether it is consumed at home or at school. In addition, education that promotes healthful breakfast (whole grain cereals, fruits, low fat milk) is important since diets that include nutrient and fiber rich food have been shown to have a positive effect on weight and disease reduction.
This is an excerpt from The Breakfast Scoop, Vol. 1, No. 3, an electronic newsletter covering issues related to breakfast and school breakfast programs.

That CRAZY global warming issue…..
Is there anything that can’t be attributed to causing “climate change?”
Well hang on to your Big Mac, because if you are over weight, you are being picked on again…..
“Obesity contributes to global warming, too."
"Obese and overweight people require more fuel to transport them and the food they eat, and the problem will worsen as the population literally swells in size, a team at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine says.This adds to food shortages and higher energy prices, the school's researchers Phil Edwards and Ian Roberts wrote in the journal Lancet on Friday."We are all becoming heavier and it is a global responsibility," Edwards said in a telephone interview. "Obesity is a key part of the big picture."

Calorie counting at restaurants?
Not as far as I’m concerned.
Sorry, but as much as the government wants me to know that Burger King's Double Whopper w/Cheese has 1010 calories or that McDonald's Deluxe Breakfast (Lg. size Biscuit) w/o Syrup & Margarine has 1140 calories in order to try to shame me into purchasing a side salad (20 calories) with no dressing, I’m not going to look. Okay…I don’t order those food items…but someone does. It doesn’t matter though, I still don’t need to be told the calories I’m eating.
It's my choice in the end, though. If I don’t want to look at it, I don’t have to. I know there are people who are looking; and counting. If I’m going to go to a fast food restaurant I’m not just going to order a salad. To me, a salad accompanies a meal at a nice restaurant. I just can’t do it. I just wonder why the salad people are in a fast food restaurant in the first place? Although, I’ve noticed there are a lot of varieties of salads now for the skinny bunch.
I find the best way to lose 10-15 pounds is the liquid way. The first time for me was by cutting out regular soda and going to diet instead. I never thought I would be capable of doing that. I hated the taste. Then I finally let those two words one of my doctors (who’s really overweight) always said sink in, “wasted calories.” That was the easiest way to lose 10 pounds. I figure if someone who drinks a couple alcoholic drinks everyday would cut those out, they could lose 15 pounds easily (vodka martini - 210 calories, beer - about 45 calories, wine - about 100 calories).
But then came along McDonald’s Iced Coffee (280 calories) and Starbucks Peppermint Mocha (222 calories). The cost is a detour for the Starbucks…It seems like in four sips that little cup is gone…and so is $4 for what was just some glorified hot chocolate.
Summer is always bad….Kopp’s is hard to resist. Boy, that can really put on the pounds. And as much as some people might not want a Dairy Queen in the neighborhood…just having it closer than Kopp’s is going to make it just as appetizing for a Tropical Blizzard (about 675 calories). Ding, ding, ding…the calories are adding up and the picture in my head is like looking at a slot machine...loser! But I get three ice cream cones.
So, back to the original theme of this post. Shame! That’s what its all about. It wasn’t that hard for people to ask for the information, or have it printed in a pamphlet on the counter, was it? Next they’ll have meat cutting charts of beef steers and pigs up on the signs next to the pictures of the hamburgers and ribs.
 
And to please PETA, how about a before shot of the animals when they were frolicking on the farm before they were butchered? That will shame you too.
Chicken Nugget
Maybe all this shaming will just make you turn around and leave.
Now that will be good for business.
So, now that you’ve read my rant, you can read about Manhattan....
"City health inspectors began issuing violation notices on Monday to restaurants that did not have calorie counts posted beside the prices on their menu boards."
"By day’s end, five restaurants had been cited, the health department said. They were Dunkin’ Donuts at 445 Park Avenue South, at East 30th Street; McDonald’s at 1560 Broadway, at West 46th Street; Popeye’s, at 321 West 125th Street, between Frederick Douglass Boulevard and St. Nicholas Avenue; Sbarro at 22 West 34th Street, next to the Empire State Building; and TGI Friday’s at 677 Lexington Avenue, at East 56th Street."

We know how nice it would be to have sidewalks available for our children to be able to walk to school, parks and other locations, along with helping to cut transportation costs.
That’s just one feature that should be lining our streets.
But what about trees?
I’m not talking about a few trees dotting the landscape for decoration.
dbTechno
There may be a very good reason we may want to consider lining our streets with more trees, besides just the benefit of their shade and their beauty.
According to a new study, kids who live on streets that are lined with trees are less likely to develop asthma compared to kids who live on streets without trees on them.
Researchers looked at rates of asthma among children aged between 4 and 5-years old.
They also looked at the number of kids up to the age of 15 who were brought to the hospital due to asthma.
They found that the highest rates of asthma were in poor urban communities.
The rate of childhood asthma from 1980 to 2000 jumped to almost 50%. New York City was one of the hardest hit locations.

We’re talking medically speaking.
We know men are stronger physically.
Don't women live longer than men?
Medical facts are out there to settle the argument as to who is the weaker sex when it comes to resisting disease.
A panel of medical experts were asked to evaluate the following areas and compare men and women:
CANCER
BONES
HEART
MUSCLES
EYE & EAR PROBLEMS
IMMUNE SYSTEM
CONCLUSION ....
Overall, when you add up the number of individuals affected by all these conditions, ___________ are the weaker sex.
What do you think?
