On Saturday 14th October, from 11.00am until 12 noon, Salmon Farm Protest Group supporters will be distributing leaflets outside supermarkets in 50 UK cities and towns, including London, Kingston-on-Thames Bognor Regis, Bristol, Abergavenny, Newtonabbey, Edinburgh, Cumbernauld, Aberdeen Perth, Aviemore, Dingwall, Wick and Thurso.ACTION HOUR

On Saturday 14th October, from 11.00am until 12 noon, Salmon Farm Protest Group

Our message to consumers is: ?GO WILD FOR REAL SALMON ? SAY ?NO? TO FARMED FISH. The leaflet lists ten reasons to think twice before buying factory-farmed salmon; including PCB and dioxin levels in both organic and standard farm salmon, untreated fish farm sewage excreted into coastal waters, the damage salmon farming is doing to wild fish.

?You have to ask yourself what is more valuable, cheap fatty salmon or the long-term health of the sea?” Richard Girling, writer and journalist.

?The barrage of bad publicity that has engulfed the Scottish aquaculture industry over the last few years has not halted dishonest marketing and publicity campaigns. The Action Hour campaign will, I hope, go some way to redressing the balance in favour of wild salmon, the king of fish, and its natural habitat.? Donald Rice, riparian owner.

?The impact of salmon farming on the environment and on wild populations of sea trout and salmon is completely unacceptable. This poorly-regulated industry makes huge profits for big foreign companies at the expense of local communities throughout Scotland which rely heavily on revenue from anglers.? Mark Lloyd, Anglers Conservation Association.

?We no longer sell any form of farmed salmon in our restaurant or bar. We have noticed that most of our guests appreciate the quality and better taste of real salmon and we have never heard anyone complain that it is more expensive. If we cannot source wild salmon we do without.? Elaine Lewis, Ben Loyal Hotel, Tongue.

?It takes three tonnes of wild fish from the high seas to produce the fishmeal to make one tonne of factory farmed salmon for the supermarket. Do you think that makes sense for our environment? If not, then stop buying the stuff.? Jon Gibb, Fishery Manager, Scotland.

?It’s fluorescent, flabby and full of fat and nasty chemicals, damaging the environment and helping bring wild species to the brink of extinction. Give your taste buds and wild fish a chance – don’t eat it.? Adrian Latimer, angler and author.

SFPG chairman Bruce Sandison said, ?Ask your supermarket for wild Alaskan salmon. It tastes wonderful, has no artificial colourants and comes from a sustainable fishery certified by the Marine Conservation Society, a UK charity dedicated to protecting the marine environment and its wildlife.?

Vancouver, Canada (PRWEB) August 8, 2008

Dr. Julio Montaner, Director of the B.C. Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS, part of Providence Health Care, has been appointed president of the world’s leading independent association of HIV/AIDS professionals.

Montaner, who is also Professor of Medicine, Chair of AIDS Research and Head of the Division of AIDS at the University of British Columbia, will assume the prestigious position of President of the International AIDS Society (IAS) at the conclusion of the XVII International AIDS Conference in Mexico City, on Friday, August 8th, 2008. His role as President will be a two-year term and following that, he will have the position of Past President for two years.

“I would like to congratulate Dr. Montaner on his appointment as President of the largest HIV organization in the world,” said B.C.’s Minister of Healthy Living and Sport, Mary Polak. “With more than 10,000 members from 185 countries the International AIDS Society will benefit greatly from Dr. Montaner’s leadership, knowledge and expertise. Dr. Montaner’s work has helped positioned B.C. as a world leader in the fight against HIV/AIDS and his appointment will only strengthen B.C.’s position on the world stage.”

Dianne Doyle, President and CEO of Providence Health Care says Montaner’s appointment is recognition of his leadership and Providence Health Care’s growing reputation as a world leader in HIV/AIDS clinical care and research. Doyle said, “Under Julio’s leadership we have come a long way. From being one of the first hospitals in Canada to treat HIV/AIDS patients in the early eighties – to today being one of the world’s leading clinical and research centres for this disease, providing care to more than 65 per cent of the HIV/AIDS infected people in the province.”

As president of IAS, Montaner will actively promote the role of the Society as an outstanding worldwide force of committed professionals working together to prevent, control and treat HIV/AIDS. He will focus his efforts on the global expansion of antiretroviral-therapy programs to limit the epidemic’s growth.

In the mid-1990s, Montaner played a key role in the development of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), which has been shown to decrease the levels of the virus in the body and allow the immune system to recover. HAART has been the standard of care for the treatment of HIV/AIDS since 1996, and the medications are now distributed free-of-charge to all eligible British Columbians. “We now have very powerful cocktails that are simple and well tolerated. These regimens not only save lives, but can help decrease transmission-rates of HIV as part of an overall strategy focused on safer-sex practices and other important harm-reduction measures,” says Montaner.

Dr. Montaner leads clinical activities at the B.C. Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS, Canada’s largest HIV/AIDS research, treatment and education facility located at St. Paul’s Hospital, part of Providence Health Care. As well, Montaner is Co-Director of the Canadian HIV Trials Network and Director of the AIDS Research Program and the Immunodeficiency Clinic at St. Paul’s Hospital, holding the Endowed Chair in AIDS Research at UBC, the first initiative of its kind in Canada.

Kiev, Ukraine (PRWEB) May 29, 2009

Ekomed LLC announces that its 75-patients’ clinical trial has been published in the May issue of a prestigious, high-impact Clinical Microbiology and Infection journal of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases. The journal publishes peer-reviewed papers that present basic and applied research relevant to therapy and diagnostics in the fields of microbiology, infectious diseases, virology, parasitology, immunology and epidemiology. The information about the journal can be found at http://www.wiley.com/bw/journal.asp?ref=1198-743X.

Tuberculosis (TB) is a re-emerging global public health problem, especially in Asia, Africa and Eastern Europe. The success rates of therapy in Eastern Europe, including Ukraine, are substantially below average when compared with other regions of the world. In addition the Ukraine has worsening epidemics of drug resistant TB that is increasingly converging with HIV. Despite availability of TB drugs the situation is far from ideal and better therapeutic interventions are clearly needed to reverse the current trend.

Oral immunomodulator Dzherelo is used in Ukraine for the management of both TB and HIV infections, including patients co-infected with TB and HIV. Dzherelo was approved in 1997 by the Ministry of Health of Ukraine as an immunomodulating supplement, which so far has been used by hundreds of thousands individuals for various indications including chronic bacterial and viral infections, autoimmune diseases, and malignancy. In 1999 Dzherelo was recommended by the health authorities of Ukraine as an immune adjunct for treatment of tuberculosis.

Earlier clinical studies have demonstrated that Dzherelo can increase CD4 T-lymphocytes, decrease viral load and helps to achieve better clinical response when combined with standard anti-retroviral (ART) or anti-tuberculosis therapy (ATT). Dzherelo has been found to reduce the incidence of opportunistic infections and reverse TB-associated wasting. Dzherelo has also been found to alleviate the hepatotoxicity associated with ATT as evidenced by improvement of liver function tests. However, these studies have not dealt with the effect of Dzherelo on other clinical parameters associated with TB. The published study was, thus, aimed at defining the adjunct effect of Dzherelo on clinical and radiological symptoms as well as select biochemical and blood parameters among patients with cavitary and infiltrating pulmonary TB. The advantage of adding Dzherelo to standard ATT was compared to a treatment regimen consisting of ATT alone.

Open-label, 60-days trial conducted at the Kharkov National Medical University was aimed to compare the adjunctive effect of oral immunomodulator Dzherelo to standard TB chemotherapy (ATT) consisting of izoniazid (H), rifampicin (R), pyrazinamide (Z), and streptomycin (S) administered under directly observed therapy (DOT). Group 1 with cavitary TB (n=28) and Group 2 with infiltrating pulmonary TB (n=17) received 50 drops of Dzherelo twice daily in addition to HRZS. Group 3 (n=30) which served as a control received ATT only. Liver damage indicators, bilirubin, ALT and AST decreased to normal levels in Groups 1 and 2 but increased significantly in Group 3. Kidney failure markers, urea and creatinine, normalized in Dzherelo recipients but unchanged or worsened in ATT group. The changes in serum catalase, lactate dehydrogenase, malondialdehyde, and diene conjugates suggest that Dzherelo downregulates TB-associated inflammation. The anti-inflammatory property of Dzherelo is further supported by favorable hematology picture, reduced erythrocyte sedimentation, and faster deffervescence. Radiological recovery was significant in both Dzherelo groups but not in the control (P=0.0085, P=0.025, and P=0.23). These findings correlated positively with sputum smear conversion and clinical findings (r=0.94; P=0.05). Mycobacterial clearance at day 30 was observed in 77%, 72%, and 40% of patients in Groups 1, 2, and 3. After 2 months sputum conversion rates were 93%, 89% and 70% respectively. The 60-days treatment outcome for Groups 1, 2, and 3 as assessed by improvement in clinical symptoms and respiratory function attained P values 0.008, 0.25, 0.72 and 0.013, 0.48, 0.0015 respectively. Dzherelo is thus useful as an immunotherapeutic adjunct to management of TB.

The Ekomed Director, Mr. Volodymyr Pylypchuk commented: “This latest study confirms our prior studies that the immunotherapy resulted in much shorter duration of treatment than among those who received standard ATT. While prior studies dealt with select clinical effects of Dzherelo they have not addressed certain clinical and laboratory parameters that we have investigated in the present study. The phytopreparation is definitely safe and even capable of reversing TB drugs-associated liver and kidney toxicity. In addition, Dzherelo reduces inflammation as evidenced by several hematological and biochemical markers. Sputum smear conversion rate has been significantly accelerated and enhanced as compared to standard ATT. When botanicals such as Dzherelo are validated through rigorous scientific and clinical research their integration into modern medical practice is more readily acceptable and treatment options for TB are expanded as a result.”

This study was partially supported by financial support graciously provided by MAPI Research Trust, Lyon, France – a non-profit organization that advances the art and use of scientific methods to patient-reported outcome measures. This work was also presented in part at the Keystone Symposia on HIV Pathogenesis and HIV Vaccines, March 27 – Apr 1, 2008, Banff, Alberta, Canada, through grant from Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation’s Global Health Travel Award.

Going green is a pretty new concept for the world and it is all about individuals being aware of the issues concerning the environment. The definition of going green is to change your lifestyle in a way that your daily activities have a very small effect on the environment. Individuals will be considered to be living a green lifestyle if they reduce, recycle, reuse, being conservative with water usage, and using different sources of energy. An individual’s carbon footprint is the calculation of how much of an effect you are having on the environment at it is something that greatly concerns individuals who are trying to live green lifestyles. A carbon footprint can be reduced the more an individual’s practices are environmental.

Recently the goal of finding alternative sources of energy that are clean has been one of the main focuses in our society. More environmentally based movements have provided us with a variety of different sources of energy from the wind, water, and solar sources. Recent developments in technology have also provided residents of the entire world access to vehicles that are not so dependent on fossil fuels like traditional cars. Our environment is not impacted so much if we use a less amount of fossil fuels.

Recycling and reusing are two of the main actions of living a green lifestyle. Homes that are trying to be green are less likely to use so many paper products like towels and plates because they will be concerned with saving trees and our ozone. Individuals can reuse by using reusable bags when they shop instead of paper and plastic ones.

Not only will individuals who are trying to live a green lifestyle worry about recycling and reusing they will also concern themselves with the foods that they eat. These individuals will reduce the amount of meat they eat every week seeing as the more meat that is consumed by a person the bigger their carbon footprint will be. Your carbon footprint can be lessened by eating more fruits and vegetables instead of animals which will help the animal population stay plentiful. Also in regard to eating green it is best to purchase food that has been grown locally, this prevents pollutants from entering the environment due to the food sitting on planes and vehicles for large periods of time.

Conserving water is also an excellent aspect to include in your lifestyle when trying to be green. There are so many different things that an individual can do and remember that every little bit helps.

What Type of Juicer to Choose?

In the world of the power juicerthere are several different types to choose from. However, the best juicer on the market would be the masticating juicer. This type of juicer will extract more of the actual juice – which carries over to more nutrients – than other types. Typically, the masticating juicer will remove up to 40% more juice than other leading types. The reason for this is that this type of juicer chews into the entire fruit and cell fibers of the fruit, or vegetable, to release more of the precious vitamins and minerals.

How To Use

Sometimes a simple citrus juicercan be used, but will leave you with a lot of pulp and the need to use several fruits to get enough juice. Replace the citrus juicer with a powerful electric juicer and you will see that your juices are free of pulp and you will use less fruit.

To use this type of juicer, place the fruit, or vegetables, inside the chute at the top of the juicer. As you feed in the fruit, the auger will do the job of removing the juice. The pulp and chunks will be separated from the juice which will flow out of the spout into your glass.

Juicers Are Fun, Easy, And Healthy!

Combating the extra weight that our society promotes today is a tough thing to do. However, with a juicer, a whole fruit juiceris a great example, you can easily get the vitamins and minerals the body needs, as well as losing a few pounds in the process.

For interracial BBW swingers – bigger is always better.

There are a lot of people who are not only interested in swinging with someone from another race; they also want to swing with a plus-size person. For the them interracial BBW swingers are the perfect solution and by joining such a community on an adult site they can make new interracial BBW swingers contacts, look at their erotic photo’s and videos.

So when did society start finding BBW attractive? We partly have Beth Dito a BBW herself and also lead singer from the UK band Gossip to thank. Beth does not only embrace her bigger body but she also confidently shows if off to the world. She’s done a couple of magazine covers where she’s appeared completely naked for the whole world to appreciate her BBW curves.

The health issues associated with alcohol and alcoholism are well known – every part of your body suffers greatly when there is alcohol abuse.  Your body was not programmed to absorb large quantities of alcohol, especially long term.  For anyone who has experienced a hangover, they know firsthand on the body reacts to the poison it is given.

Unfortunately, alcoholism is certainly not consciously chosen by the alcoholic and to date, modern science has not been able to come up with a miracle cure such as a pill or perhaps a shot, which means that hundreds of thousands of people live a miserable existence surrounded by alcohol and all it brings with it.

Entire families have been destroyed, jobs have been loss and friends have been abandoned, all in the name of the mighty bottle and in pursuit of that elusive feeling of well being and although the origin of alcoholism seems to still be in dispute, there is a general agreement that alcoholism is a legitimate social and moral issue that more and more people are trying to understand and address.

Is it truly possible to stop drinking for good?  Yes it is! But you need help – you cannot do it by yourself. Fortunately, the Internet offers some help.  If you feeling incapable of physically reaching out to another person for help, then you should consider reading up on how to stop drinking.  While reading a book might seem “simplistic”, the written word is a powerful tool when it comes to self-help  and you can read in the privacy of your own home without having to explain your situation to anyone.  It is totally anonymous.

If you choose to buy a book about alcohol and addiction, there are certain criteria that you should follow.  Make sure that the book is written for the average layperson.  You do not want to get bogged down in too much scientific information – this is not going to help you stop drinking.  The book you choose should offer a complete package – that is a complete view of alcohol and its misuses and abuses.

The book should also talk about alcoholic symptoms and how to detect them, there also should also be a section detailing the various options available when it comes to supporting the alcoholic, which could include counseling sessions or 12 step programs.  A look at the 12 step program is also a must for any book on alcohol addiction.

So, if you think or know that alcohol is ruining your life, what have you got to loose in picking up a book? You might just stop drinking for good!

  Analysis of U.S. researchers found that beer contains the original silica, which more or less useful silicon strong bones.

The results, published in the UK, “Journal of Food and Agriculture” 2 magazine.

More or less

Research by the University of California researchers have achieved. They selected the market 100 different types of beer, test analysis of the silicon content.

Previous studies have shown that silicon useful strong bones, but did not specify the difference between the content of different beers.

University of California Department of Food Science and Technology, Research Fellow Charles? Class Forth and colleagues Troy? Casey concluded that the silicon content of beer, 6.4 mg per liter to 56.5 mg per liter, with an average of 30 mg of silicon per liter of beer. Among them, non-alcohol beer, 16.3 mg per liter of silicon, silicon 18.9 mg per liter of wheat beer, light beer in India was 41.2 mg per liter of silicon.

British “Daily Telegraph” on the 8th reported intake of beer, the original acid is the West an important source of silicon.

Study did not mention the best daily silicon intake. Right now the average American daily intake of 20 mg to 50 mg.

There are other shades of

Beer brewed with malt. The researchers found that, compared to dark malt, pale malt by more silicon element, but the reasons behind not yet been identified.

In addition, the use of hops when brewing beer, rich in silicon, silicon content to achieve common malt 4 times. However, it is far less than the amount of malt.

The researchers said that India pale beer with a relatively large amount of hops, wheat beer, less dosage.

“Malt and hops, high silicon content of beer is also high,” Bamforth says, “barley, wheat, less than the silicon content, because this element is rich in the case of barley.”

The researchers found that dark beer brewing process may undermine the excessive heating of silicon content of beer. However, the class Forth said: “The brewing process factors affecting the silicon content has not been fully research.”

Moderate drinking

Beer’s “health” effect may be to alcoholics, some good news. However, researchers cautioned that people should not be excessive drinking.

Class Forth proposal: “select your favorite beer, moderate drinking, will provide the body with silicon.”

National Osteoporosis Society member Clare? Pauling said the association welcomed the class Forth and others findings, but this does not mean that people should be big drink.

She said a small amount of alcohol may increase bone mineral density, bone mineral density will reduce heavy drinking, but drinking more than two cups a day increases risk of fractures. In addition, other alcohol-related health risks can not be ignored.

Tufts University researcher Kirsty? Tucker is reminded that many studies have shown that alcohol is not conducive to strong bones, and even lead to osteoporosis, one should not only by alcohol, keep bones healthy.
