TEL AVIV, August 12 (RIA Novosti) - An Israeli town has offered a $1
million reward to anyone who can prove the existence of a mermaid said
to live in nearby coastal waters, the Jerusalem Post reported on Wednesday.

The offer was made after locals and visitors to Kiryat Yam, just north
of the city of Haifa, reported seeing a strange creature swimming in the
sea.

“Many people are telling us they are sure they’ve seen a mermaid and
they are all independent of each other,” council spokesman Natti
Zilberman was quoted as saying by Sky News. “People say it is half girl,
half fish, jumping like a dolphin. It does all kinds of tricks, then
disappears,” he said.

Zilberman also said the creature was not thought to be a dolphin or a
large fish, adding that people say “it is a female figure, and it looks
like a young girl.”

Capturing the creature is not necessary to obtain the reward, he said. A
good quality photo is sufficient.

The announcement has led to tourists and locals patrolling the coast of
the town with cameras, all hoping to snap a photo that will net them the
reward.

Jalapeno for Muscle Pain
Submitted by drake on Sun 08/09/2009 - 11:41

For neck pain and back pain, rub jalapeno along the infected areas. The jalapeno causes the area to warm, similar to using a product like Ben Gay.

I learned about this by accident after cooking with jalapeno. At the same time, I had some pretty bad pain in the neck and upper back. I cut the jalapeno open and smeared the open jalapeno, seeds and all, on my back and neck. It really did help relieve my muscle pain.


Salt n Pepa:

You are actually right, and now I must revise my recommendation.

I no longer recommend rubbing jalapeno on your skin. It really burns. I don’t even know if it helped me with my muscle aches. When I took a hot shower, it burned even more.

In summary, ignore my advice.

Thanks,

Drake


[My note:

Of course it burns, and it could cause blisters on really tender skin, but it is that burning feeling that caused it to work...

It was burning and waking up the nerve endings/blood vessels and they went into action and relaxed the painful area.

Another method that does not burn, is to use the end of the vacuum cleaner hose and suck up the skin in the pain area.

This will also cause the nerves and blood vessels to contract and start working again.

Works great for headaches and I know of one man who swears that it cured his dead arm, that was dead because of a stroke.

I learned this from Dr. Comer, a Chiropractor who graduated from the Palmer Chiropractor Institute in 1926.

He did all kinds of weird things that worked.

Pain and Gas Definition

All people have gas. It is natural and results from swallowing air and normal breakdown of certain indigested food by harmless bacteria.

Frequent belching of the gas comes out by burping or by passing it through the rectum. Most people pass gas about 14 times a day, the gas is made primarily of odorless vapor.

Limited Recall of 772 Cartons of Iced Jumbo Green Onions due to Possible Health Risk

Contact:
Lisa Largent
1-831-758-7810

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - August 12, 2009, Salinas, CA - A precautionary voluntary recall of 772 cartons of iced jumbo green onions under the brand names Omo and Fu Choy distributed from three locations, R.A.M. Produce Distributors of Detroit, Michigan, Franzella Distributing of San Francisco, CA, and United Food Service of East Point, GA has been issued by California-based NewStar Fresh Foods due to the possible presence of Salmonella.

No illnesses have been reported. The product is packaged in a 48-count iced carton, item numbers 02487403 and 02487452, product lot numbers 40550707 and 40510707, with production dates of July 20th and July 21st 2009. No other food service distributors or products are involved in this recall.

All affected product within the foodservice channel has already been accounted for and destroyed.

58 cartons were shipped from two distributors to small grocery outlets in the Detroit and San Francisco areas. Consumers in California may have purchased the product from Larry’s Produce in Fairfield, La Loma Produce, Good Life Grocery and El Grande, all San Francisco, and Valley Produce & Meat Market, San Pablo. Consumers in Michigan may have purchased the product from Confers Supermarket in New Lothrop, Ryan’s Food in Detroit, Brothers Supermarket and Al Jazeera Market in Dearborn and Sahara Market in Warren.

Although it is likely that the jumbo green onions are now beyond their usable life, the recall is being issued by the company out of an abundance of caution for consumer well-being in the possible event some consumers might have purchased from the listed retail outlets and still have the product in their home refrigerators.

The company is working closely with regulatory authorities at the state and federal levels to inform consumers in Detroit and San Francisco areas who may have purchased the product.

Salmonella is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstance, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.

Customers who have purchased the jumbo green onions are urged to return it to the place of purchase for a full refund. Customers with questions may contact NewStar Fresh Foods at 1-831-758-7810.

Updated Directory of Drug and Alcohol Abuse Treatment Programs Now Available

A new, updated guide to finding local substance abuse treatment programs is now available from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). National Directory of Drug and Alcohol Abuse Treatment Programs 2009 provides information on thousands of alcohol and drug treatment programs located in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and five U.S. territories.

The National Directory includes a nationwide inventory of public and private substance abuse and alcoholism treatment programs and facilities that are licensed, certified, or otherwise approved by substance abuse agencies in each state. The National Directory is organized in a state-by-state format for quick reference by health care providers, social workers, managed care organizations, and the general public and provides information on more than 11,000 community substance abuse treatment programs.

The directory provides important information on levels of care and types of facilities, including those with programs for adolescents, persons with co-occurring substance abuse and mental disorders, individuals living with HIV/AIDS, and pregnant women. In addition, information is available on forms of payment accepted, special language services available with select providers, and whether methadone or buprenorphine therapy is offered.

The updated directory complements SAMHSA’s internet-based Substance Abuse Treatment Facility Locator — the online service, which is updated regularly and may contain more current information, provides searchable road maps to the nearest treatment facilities, complete addresses, phone numbers and specific information on services available. The electronic, searchable version of SAMHSA’s updated National Directory of Drug and Alcohol Abuse Treatment Programs is available on the Web at http://FindTreatment.samhsa.gov/.

SAMHSA is a public health agency within the Department of Health and Human Services. The agency is responsible for improving the accountability, capacity and effectiveness of the nation’s substance abuse prevention, addictions treatment, and mental health services delivery system.

MedWatch logo MedWatch - The FDA Safety Information and Adverse Event Reporting Program

Audience: Diabetes healthcare professionals, hospital risk managers, patients

[Posted 08/13/2009] FDA notified healthcare professionals of the possibility of falsely elevated blood glucose results when using GDH-PQQ glucose test strips on patients who are receiving therapeutic products containing certain non-glucose sugars. These sugars can falsely elevate glucose results, which may mask significant hypoglycemia or prompt excessive insulin administration, leading to serious injury or death.

GDH-PQQ glucose monitoring measures a patient’s blood glucose value using methodology that cannot distinguish between glucose and other sugars. Certain non-glucose sugars, including maltose, xylose, and galactose, are found in certain drug and biologic formulations, or can result from the metabolism of a drug or therapeutic product. The FDA Public Health Notification provides a list of GDH-PQQ Glucose Test Strips and recommends that healthcare practitioners avoid using GDH-PQQ glucose test strips in healthcare facilities or take steps to never use them on patients receiving interfering substances.

FDA encourages the voluntary reporting of any medical device adverse events related to glucose meters or glucose test strips that do not meet the requirements for mandatory reporting. Adverse events should be reported to the FDA’s MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program online, by phone [1-800-332-1088], or by returning the postage-paid FDA Form 3500 by mail [to MedWatch, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD 20852-9787] or fax [1-800-FDA-0178].
