POPSBernie Mac, Comedian Dies at Age 50 –and poor people who were the shoe repairmen, pressers of trousers, low level factory workers who ran through long spates of lay-off after lay-off, waitresses, short order cooks, maids, housecleaners, laundry takers-inners, and people who had no jobs… they lived in tiny one-story houses or duplexes with the back porch often boarded over to make a second bedroom. The last is the layer Bernie Mac came from. He was raised by his mother, Mary, who died when he was sixteen. Bernie Mac was an orphan who made his way in the world. And his comedy reflected the envy and longing and love of the layers of Black people on his home turf… he loved nothing more than to make fun of arrogance and haughtiness, and had a sharp eye for the facial expressions and gestures of humans ‘acting up,’ He mimed those gestures perfectly. He was a ‘body’ comedian therefore, not only a spoken word comedian.

POPSAntibodies in Children with Autism = Allergy!
Hi, I'm Dr. Ted Edwards - "The Allergy Expert". I'm attempting to get a message through to anyone who HAS or KNOWS an Autistic child. The message is I have discovered a solution for Autism. It's called DNA Allergy Reprogramming and it has had a truly profound effect on the lives of the Autistic Children I've worked with. My goal here is to reach and help more of these children have the opportunity to lead a much more normal life. Do you know someone with autism? You owe it to them to find out if DNA Allergy Reprogramming can change them to.. This clip reveals that children with autism react to heat shock proteins and gliadin (gluten-wheat) by producing antibodies. In plain English that means they have an ALLERGY to both of these substances. I have listed the exact clearing you would do for your child in the comfort and convenience of your own home. I truly wish it was easier for me to convince you that I'm telling you the truth. So I say to you "Get Results or Get a

POPSA Medical Mystery Unfolds "Tests showed that the man’s spinal cord was markedly inflamed. The cause seemed to be an autoimmune reaction: his immune system was mistakenly attacking his own nerves as if they were a foreign body or a germ. Doctors could not figure out why it had happened, but the standard treatment for inflammation — a steroid drug — seemed to help Neurological illnesses sometimes defy understanding, Dr. Lachance said, and this seemed to be one of them. At the time, it did not occur to anyone that the problem might be related to the patient’s occupation. By spring, he went back to his job. But within weeks, he became ill again. Once more, he recovered after a few months and returned to work — only to get sick all over again."

POPSTake VITAMIN D3, the life you save may be your own. I have also read, it can help in fighting flu epidemics. The following from this site: www.sunarc.org Vitamin D is also beneficial in reducing the risk of respiratory viral diseases such as influenza, the common cold, and bronchitis. A study in New York State with black women in their 60s found that 800 IU of vitamin D3 per day reduced cold and influenza rates by about 60%, while 2000 IU per day reduced the rates by more than 90%. The RDA (400 IU/day) was based on the amount of vitamin D in a teaspoonful of cod liver oil, which is sufficient to prevent rickets but not much more. The body can make 10,000 IU per day in the summer sun, so there is no problem with taking 2000 IU per day most of the year. There are also benefits of vitamin D in reducing the risk of cancer, autoimmune diseases, and metabolic diseases. I've enjoyed researching vitamin D after retiring from NASA Langely in 2004.

POPSToo clean? Fight against germs fuels allergy increase From the article: From the constant use of anti-bacterial soap for dish- and hand-washing to air-tight seals around doors and windows, some modern homes have become shrines to hygiene. Add vaccinations and antibiotics to the mix and the body's immune system can get too much artificial reprieve from nature. "The natural immune system does not have as much to do as it did 50 years ago, because we've increased our efforts to protect our children from dirt and germs," McMorris said in a statement released this month. Plus, the atrophy of family size means children get exposed to fewer germs than the more kid-filled homes of yesteryear. Families with three or more children, a dynamic that was common decades ago, tend to have fewer allergies as they are exposed to more bacteria- and virus-harboring siblings, McMorris said

POPSRebooting the Immune System of Diabetics "We kill the immune system and rebuild it with stem cells from the patient," says Julio Voltarelli, a physician and researcher at the University of Sao Paulo, who led the research. "We can see after transplant that the immune system is now healthy." This type of treatment would only be effective in newly diagnosed diabetics, who still have some beta-cell function left to preserve. For patients with more-advanced forms of the disease, scientists are working on cell transplants to replace lost islet cells, using cells from donor organs and, eventually, from embryonic stem cells.

POPSDeciphering the Cell's Other Code Histone proteins control DNA by forming spools around which DNA winds. Modifications to the histone tails can force the DNA to wind tighter, making it inaccessible, or loosen it, making that piece of DNA available for translation. Since each histone tail can carry multiple modifications, some scientists have suggested that different combinations of modifications might constitute a "code" that directs how DNA is accessed by the cell.

POPSLawmakers Baffled That Scientests and Doctors Might Know Something About Drugs! So turns out all that smoking you did as a kid.. helped you out. But most of us already knew that when we smoked and our nausea went away or instead of wandering the house at four in the morning wishing there was a drug that actually worked for insomnia, we puffed our pipes and had the best sleep of our lives. Cheers to Norml.org for bringing this to lawmaker's attention..
