Contrary to what Hollywood blockbusters lead you to expect, Americans should focus less on the remote possibility of a civilization-destroying viral epidemic and worry a whole lot more about the real-life army of deadly superbugs lurking beneath hospital beds, re-colonizing improperly sterilized surgical equipment, and running rampant in ER waiting rooms and hospital wards throughout the country.
Hospital-associated infections (HAIs) now affect a staggering one in twenty patients in the US, and are estimated to cause more than 100,000 deaths each year. The World Health Organization reports that at any given time, 1.4 million people are battling infections or complications resulting from hospitalization.
One of the deadliest superbugs of all, MRSA, is transmitted in hospitals at an alarming rate as it is now resistant to penicillin and many of the newer antibiotics as well. So, it is with an enormous sense of relief that a real glimmer of hope in the war against HAIs has finally begun to emerge on the health care horizon. A new decontamination and disinfection technology developed by Medizone International and boasting an unprecedented 99.9999 percent microbial kill rate, looks set to one day make our hospitals safer again.
The bacteria-destroying product known as AsepticSure has been clinically proven to quickly and safely decontaminate all surfaces in a hospital setting and even purify the air during the process.
AsepticSure has encouraging potential for any health care environment as it is capable of wiping out almost all disease-related pathogens from public and private hospitals, nursing homes, medical centers and even day care centers. Nothing else comes close to AsepticSure’s level of microbial eradication.
“There is no virus, to our knowledge, that could survive our protocol. If the protocol can achieve 100 percent kill with spore-forming bacteria such as C. difficile, it will definitely kill all viruses,” affirms Medizone’s President and Director of Medical Affairs Dr. Michael Shannon.
AsepticSure could significantly reduce hospital-acquired infections just as soon as the health care industry sits up and takes notice of how beneficial the technology is. Given that HAIs are among the leading causes of death in the U.S. costing around $33 billion dollars in additional patient costs, early adoption of AsepticSure can’t come soon enough.
Superbugs are elusive, adaptable, vicious and deadly; that’s why we need a formidable antibacterial Goliath on our side, too.

So many times, parents are too busy taking care of their children to remember to take care of themselves. While most people go visit the doctor when they are ill, did you know it is also a good idea to check in with your family physician for annual wellness visits? Wellness care can consist of multiple facets of healthcare but includes weight and blood pressure checks, vision screenings, conversations about eating habits, lifestyle changes, and activity habits. In fact, sometimes people have underlying medical conditions that require immediate attention and are found as a result of wellness screenings. A primary care clinic for the family is a great place for all members of the family to receive annual wellness visits.
Best of all, since a family clinic can treat all household members, scheduling visits and attending appointments is convenient. Specialists with experience in pediatric care through geriatrics are available to treat all aged family members. There is no need to keep track of who saw the doctor on what date; with advanced planning, the entire family’s wellness visit can be conducted on the same day; making it a great annual check-up reminder. Children, adults, and seniors all have different immunization needs. At a wellness visit, each can also take advantage of age-appropriate vaccinations and preventative influenza, pneumonia, and/or shingles immunizations as recommended.
400% High Return on Lawsuit Investment

After two years of legal contortions preparing a lawsuit filed by David Coppedge for religious discrimination in the workplace, opening statements are expected to begin in the Los Angeles Superior Court on Monday, March 12, 2012. Supporting Mr. Coppedge’s case is the Alliance Defense Fund, A Christian civil rights group (What an oxymoron! We don’t have any civil rights), as well as the Discovery Institute, a proponent of intelligent design.
John West, Associate Director of the Center for Science and Culture at the Seattle-based Discovery Institute said, “It’s part of a pattern. There is basically a war on anyone who dissents from Darwin and we’ve seen that for several years. This is free speech, freedom of conscience 101.”
Uhthen where is the ACLU?
Mr. Coppedge worked at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory at NASA as a ‘team lead’ computer specialist for the Cassini probe mission exploring Saturn and its moons. He began as a contractor in 1996 and was designated as a ‘team lead’ in 2000, serving as a liaison between technicians and managers even before he was hired full time 2003. He held this position for nearly ten years before being demoted in 2009 and was let go last year, after fifteen years on the mission.
He contends he was demoted and fired because he enjoyed talking with his co-workers about his belief that because the universe and life is too complex to have developed through evolution alone, a higher power or intelligent designer had to be involved in creation. He is a board member of Illustria Media and gave his co-workers DVD’s made by the company, which examines scientific evidence for intelligent design.
Where is the ACLU? Oh yeah, Mr. Coppedge isn’t a minority or gay. Duh!
Can you even believe the outrageous criminality of his actions? Well, the only explanation I can imagine for all the brouhaha is that he must have been chasing people down the halls of his office, tackling them and stapling the DVD’s to their foreheads for this to result in his being terminated.
Otherwise, if they were not interested in the material, one would surmise all they would have had to do was simply say, “No thank you.” Apparently, this simple solution was too much for some of the courtesy challenged employees to handle, because a few complained to management they felt (*sniff*) harassed, which resulted in his receiving a written warning.
Coppedge’s attorney, William Becker, says, “David had this reputation for being a practicing (*GASP*) Christian. He did not go around evangelizing or proselytizing and he is not apologizing for who he is. He’s an evangelical Christian.”
He also had the unmitigated gall to publically support a state ballot that sought to define marriage as limited to a man/woman relationship and nearly caused catastrophic damage to the entire space program by requesting the annual office “holiday” party be called what it actually was, a “Christmas” party!
Yoo-Hoo, ACLUwhere are you?
Attorneys for the California Institute of Technology, which manages the Jet Propulsion Lab, state that Coppedge was one of two Cassini technicians and among 246 other employees let go last year due to planned budget cuts. Okaaaay. We’ll run with that explanation, unless maybe someone can come up with evidence that the mission still has plenty of life and funds to continue. Hmmm, perhaps someone like.ME?!
According to the official NASA Cassini Mission website, the missions and continued experiments of the probe will last at least through November 29, 2012. They are still getting a plethora of images and information from this probe and will, no doubt, continue to use it until it sputters, pops a couple more bolts and gives its last little squeak in outer space before going to that great space probe graveyard in the sky. Kind of makes me think the ‘budget cuts’ weren’t the whole reason Mr. Coppedge was fired after fifteen long, faithful years at NASA.
This should be an interesting case to follow. Is it about religious discrimination? Is it a simple employee/employer dispute? Scientists from both spectrums of the intelligent design argument are waiting with baited breath to see which way the court will rule. Can you imagine the high pitched, girly screams of angst and protest that will emanate from the court house if the Judge rules in favor of the plaintiff and his right to express in the workplace, his opinion that Almighty God designed the universe? Stay tuned!
Oh, ACLU-hooooo.! Now, where could they be??

When you are in pain, it can be difficult to function like you once did. This pain can turn simple tasks like walking to the end of the driveway into an impossible chore. Those who experience chronic pain should contact a pain relief expert like the people at The CORE Institute. By speaking with an experienced physician, you might have the chance to make a full recovery.
There are situations where orthopedic procedures might be your only hope of living a normal life. These methods are sometimes limited to rehabilitation and strengthening techniques, but can also include surgeries and cartilage restorations. The end goal of orthopedic medicine is to help you to make a full recovery, so that you can return to the activities that you love.
Unfortunately, some doctors rely on painkiller to treat chronic pain. The issue with painkillers is that they are highly addictive and only treat the symptoms, rather than the actual injury. All these pills do is prolong your suffering and, in some cases, make it even worse.
When one of your joints has completely given out, a joint replacement might be your only option. Hips, shoulders, and knees are commonly replaced and when done properly, they allow you to walk and do regular household chores without any pain.
You and your partner have finally decided to take the plunge and welcome an adopted child into your family.

The right support center can provide you with the tools you and your partner need to become fantastic adoptive parents.
Adoption support centers employ understanding staffs of seasoned experts trained to answer any questions you have about the process. These people will walk you through the application and financing processes and, if need be, recommend parenting courses and counseling sessions. Additionally, if you’re interested in surrogacy, an adoption support center will be able to put you in touch with a young, healthy birth mother. Even after you’ve adopted a child, you can turn to a support center for any queries you have about parenting your family’s new addition.
If you enter the fray unprepared, adoption can be an immensely stressful undertaking. Fortunately, by enlisting the aid of an adoption support center, you can expertly navigate the choppy waters of adopting a child.
Scientists are constantly working around the clock to develop new ways of battling against disease and injury. Sometimes that research is biology based, and involves work with stem cells. Other times it’s mechanical, and requires the development of new technology that can help existing patients.
Because of the deadly risk posed by an untreated urinary tract infection, Georgia Urology knows that early detection is important. An infection can lead to sepsis and widespread infection. This can lead to even further complications, such as blood clots and ruptured blood vessels.
Fortunately, new detection methods are right around the corner. Scientists in Germany have been experimenting with a system that will allow them to detect potential urinary infections using only very small samples. Best of all, the detection would be far more accurate, and catch the infection earlier. This is done by essentially ‘spinning’ the urine in a contained the device. As the device spins, bacteria is captured, and scientists can then tell whether there is an ongoing infection.
This type of breakthrough could lead to saved lives. While the research team is still in the process of developing the device, it may not be much longer before people have a safe, early method of detecting infection.
Blindness has plagued humanity almost since people started recording history. If you look in any diaries and journals from a century ago, you’ll find documents about how society was struggling to support people that were blind. Often, it was left to families alone to help their loved ones. In ancient records from throughout the Middle East that include the Bible, you’ll find stories about how the blind struggled to deal with their condition.
As a society we’ve learned to be better about taking care of those without sight. There are medical resources available, and we even have blind super heroes prowling around on the rooftops in comic books. What we’ve continued to lack is a cure. At Optical Outlets, we’ve been interested by the coming of a new treatment that might be a cure not only for blindness, but also bad eyesight. The treatment is still a few years away, but looks like it might provide new opportunities for those who cannot see.
It works by using stem cells to grow new optical nerves behind the eyeball. These nerves then transmit the signals to the brain that let people see. It’s an amazing development that is still at least a decade away, but it could be the cure we’ve been hoping for.
