Air Conditioning Hazard in Cars

Do not turn on A/C immediately as soon as you enter the car. Open the windows after you enter your car and turn ON the air-conditioning after a couple of minutes.

Here's why: According to a research, the car dashboard, sofa, air freshener emit Benzene, a Cancer causing toxin (carcinogen - take time to observe the smell of heated plastic in your car). In addition to causing cancer, Benzene poisons your bones, causes anemia and reduces white blood cells. Prolonged exposure will cause Leukemia, increasing the risk of cancer. May also cause miscarriage.

Acceptable Benzene level indoors is 50 mg per sq. ft. A car parked indoors with windows closed will contain 400-800 mg of Benzene. If parked outdoors under the sun at a temperature above 60 degrees F, the Benzene level goes up to 2000-4000 mg, 40 times the acceptable level... People who get into the car, keeping windows closed will inevitably inhale, in quick succession excessive amounts of the toxin.

Benzene is a toxin that affects your kidney and liver. What's worse, it is extremely difficult for your body to expel this toxic stuff.

So friends, please open the windows and door of your car - give time for interior to air out. Dispel the deadly stuff before you enter.

High Rate of Depression Among People with Chronic Kidney Disease

One in five people with chronic kidney disease (20%) suffers from depression, even before beginning long-term dialysis therapy or developing end-stage renal disease, according to new research conducted at UT Southwestern Medical Center.

Depression rates among patients with other chronic diseases include: diabetes, 11%; congestive heart failure, 14%; and coronary artery disease after heart attack, 16%.

Research is already under way to determine whether antidepressant medication would be tolerated in people with kidney disease and whether such treatment can improve depression.

Dr. Moulas on Building Strong Bones Part I

More and more doctors today are recommending that their patients take calcium to protect them from osteoporosis. Osteoporosis, is a condition of accelerated loss of bone, is a major health problem in the United States and is responsible for well over one million fractures a year. More woman die from the complications of these fractures annually than from the combined deaths resulting from cancers of the cervix and breast. Furthermore, the gradual loss of bone may result in disfigurement, wrinkles, decreased mobility and/or calcium deposits in soft tissue (joints, kidney, arteries, etc.) leading to further complications.

Many have assumed that simply increasing dietary calcium or taking a calcium supplement will prevent bone loss. But this is not the case! Bone loss can be caused by many things, including deficiencies of other nutrients besides calcium. Nutrients like magnesium, silica, phosphorus, zinc, copper, and fluoride, to just name a few.
