With a new slim-you-down app born every minute (or so it seems), it’s hard to know what’s worth your download.

The beauty quotient continues to expand making even brown eyes a condition to be fixed according to pharmaceutical companies.
The “lifestyle” drug market — which was estimated to surpass $29 billion in 2007 — pits problems of a social or cosmetic nature against conditions threatening physical health or well-being.
In a world where baldness and frown lines are medical conditions to be cured the boundaries of real illness and self improvement have become quite blurred.
“The debate is often framed here between treatment and enhancement,” said Dr. Joel Lexchin, a professor of health policy and management at York University in Toronto. “They’re taking what is traditionally considered normal human variation and trying to homogenize the way people look. On an individual level, people can do probably whatever they want, but on a collective level, we have to think about whether producing drugs that enhance people is really the best use of our resources.”
If the 26th amendment in Mississippi passes it is.
The beginning of personhood?
Because the amendment would define a fertilized egg as a person with full legal rights, it could have an impact on a woman’s ability to get the morning-after pill or birth control pills that destroy fertilized eggs, and it could make in vitro fertilization treatments more difficult because it could become illegal to dispose of unused fertilized eggs. This could lead to a nationwide debate about women’s rights and abortion while setting up a possible challenge to the landmark Roe v. Wade case, which makes abortion legal.
The vote is upcoming in Mississippi to declare a fertilized ovum; human egg, a person.
The implications are vast and the arguments many, but in a state with the highest teenage pregnancy and STD rates it looks like the amendment will pass.
Physicians, scientists, women and hospital staff will face a host challenges to deal with the care of patients if this amendment passes.
There are great arguments on both sides.
Considering all the possibilities a new branch of legal practice may be necessary.
Cranberry juice continues to be the best remedy for Urinary Tract infections.
Extracting the compounds thought to cure UTI’s is not enough.
It seems that it is the nature of the juice itself wherein lies the cure.
Currently, they have been taking a serious look at a group of flavonoids found in cranberries called proanthocyanidins. They believe that proanthocyanidins (aka PACs) are the source of the cranberry’s super-powerful infection fighting properties.
Unfortunately for the pharmaceutical industry… researchers at the Worcester Polytechnic Institute have recently found that “cranberry juice, itself, is far better at preventing biofilm formation, which is the precursor of infection, than PACs alone”.
Human growth hormone or HGH, has appeared to be somewhat of a panacea for those who want to turn back the clock on aging.
However, the biggest reason not to take HGH as an anti-aging therapy is simply that it has not been adequately studied.
The longterm effects are not known.
Human growth hormone is a product of the pituitary gland, the master gland of the body. As the name implies, it promotes linear growth in children and adolescents. After the body stops growing taller, the levels of HGH decline quickly and often become very low in adult life. Many of the effects of HGH are brought about through a second hormone, insulin-like growth factor-1, made by the liver. HGH is given by daily injection, and is quite expensive. Alternative treatments, such as the nasal spray or pills to stimulate HGH release, have not been proven to have any benefit.
