A huge NASA balloon loaded with a telescope painstakingly built to scan the sky at wavelengths invisible to the human eye crashed in the Australian outback Thursday, destroying the astronomy experiment and just missing nearby onlookers, according to Australian media reports.
In dramatic video released by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), the giant 400-foot (121-meter) balloon is seen just beginning to lift its payload, then the telescope gondola appears to unexpectedly come loose from its carriage. The telescope crashes through a fence and overturn a nearby parked sport utility vehicle before finally stopping.
The attempted balloon telescope launch took place at the Alice Springs Balloon Launching Centre, near the town of Alice Springs, in the northern territory of Australia.
The wayward balloon overturned one car, but missed another parked nearby with local Alice Springs couple Stan and Betty Davies, who had come to watch the launch, still inside.
“We were sitting in our car and preparing to move it out of the way and we were actually about a foot of being wiped out,” ABC quoted Davies as saying.
The balloon was carrying the Nuclear Compton Telescope (NCT), a gamma-ray telescope built by astronomer Steven Boggs and his colleagues at the University of California, Berkeley, California to study astrophysical sources in space.
“Today was a terrible day for a lot of people,” wrote Eric Bellm, a graduate astronomy student at the UC Berkeley, in a blog chronicling the science mission. “For the NCT team, we’ve poured our hearts into this instrument for years. It was an almost unfathomable shock to find ourselves cleaning up the wreckage of our gondola rather than watching it lift off towards space.”

To All Suffering From Cardiovascular Diesease

I want to introduce you to a product that is having a major impact on blood pressure and other cardiovascular health issues. It is ProArgi-9 Plus from Synergy WorldWide!
Maybe you or a loved one has high blood pressure. That doesn’t surprise me. According to the American Heart Association one out of every three Americans suffers from high blood pressure. The National Stroke Association identifies high blood pressure as the leading cause of all strokes.
ProArgi-9 Plus has product features and benefits that can address most major health concerns! The purpose of this article is to clearly identify what those health concerns are and how ProArgi-9 Plus can be a helpful pathway to better wellness.
“My Doctor Thought the Blood Pressure Machine was Broken!”
How effective is ProArgi-9 Plus for helping those facing this challenge? Dr. Michelle Turncotte turned me onto this product. She said it changed her husband’s blood pressure numbers in one month.
So I did some research, found this website and ordered the product since he had the best price on the internet. Six weeks later I went to my regular doctor to get my blood pressure updated.
With medication, my blood pressure had been running around 139/89. Prior to this visit my regular doctor was planning to increase the medication if my numbers stayed the same. When she took my first blood pressure reading it was 120/70! She said she needed to take it again because that can’t be right. The second reading was 120/70! She thought something was wrong with the machine so she took it on my other arm. It was 120/71! She looked at me and said,
“What the heck are you doing to get it that low?”
I told her I was taking a new product called ProArgi-9 Plus. She had never heard of it, and until Dr. Michelle Turncotte turned me onto this product, neither had I. I now use this product on a regular basis and absolutely love what it continues to do for me.

Our Survival Stories

Surely you won’t get excited about Proargi9 Plus and its benefits unless you have the following : Diabetes, Heart Disease High Cholesterol or any other Cardio Vascular problems. You see Proargi9 Plus is one of the 20 amino acids that make up proteins. It is the ONLY amino acid that generates significant amount of nitric oxide. Why is nitric oxide so important for you? Because in 1998 three American Pharmacologists won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their discoveries concerning “.nitric oxide as a signaling molecule in the cardiovascular Nitric oxide protects the heart, stimulates the brain, kills bacteria, and has a role in protecting our lungs, preventing cancer and reversing impotence. Wow, that really is a huge claim! sounds like quackery! you say – Well, that is just part of what the Nobel Assembly at Karolinska Intitutet, which awards the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine mentioned in their .press release.
You have scientific research and discoveries, a Nobel Prize to boot but you’re still skeptical. Of course, it’s our nature to be skeptical. It’s still too good to be true right?! Well, let me put it this way, if you have High Cholesterol Levels, more likely you’re taking Lipitor. While Lipitor “helps” maintain a good HDL/LDL levels it does have side effects like headaches, upset stomach and constipation. Well tell me any doctor prescribed medicine that did not have side effects! You have to take other medicines to counter the symptoms! Which is often worse that your original ailment! Am I right? That’s a lot of pills to take!

High Desert Heart Institute Study of Proargi9 Plus

April 27th, 2010

http://www.oursurvivalstories.com

Our Survival Stories

In July of 2009, the High Desert Heart Institute
concluded an exhaustive study of the effects of
ProArgi9 on 33 congestive heart failure patients.
These are patients who had reached the maximum medical management of their conditions
and there was nothing further that could be done to help them.
Each patient in the study was given 4 scoops a day of ProArgi9 Plus for 90 days..
It will be another six months to a year before this medical study will be published, but we have
an interview with Angelo Cici, one of the patients in the study, Dan Austin, RN who worked with
each patient in the study and Dr. Siva Arunasalam, the founder and Director of the High Desert
Heart Institute.
“There was nothing else for us to try, we had tried everything with these patients.
All patients showed a tremendous improvement in many, many objective data
points that only can be attributed to ProArgi9… ”
Dr. Siva Arunasalam
Over the course of the 90 day study, each patient in the study got extensive diagnostic testing producing almost 7,000 points of data.
• Full blood panels, including fasting lipid and complete electrolytes
• Full urine panels,
• Echocardiography
• 2 forms pulse wave analysis.
• C-Reactive Protein ,
• Vitamin D3 levels,
• Ankle brachial index testing (ultra sound doppler)
• CT Heart Scan
Dan SwinDell is conducting the interviews.
Angelo Cici is the first person interviewed. He was a patient and part of the study. Angelo was a Director of Product Support at Litton Industries with 100 subsidiary companies. On Dec 20, 2008 Angelo had a massive heart failure with simultaneous renal failure, congestive heart failure, pulmonary heart failure and a pace maker failure. From this point on he was in and out of the emergency room. “I was so weak I couldn’t even open a bottle of water by myself and I had decided, I had had enough. I told the nurses I wanted all the IV’s removed and I just wanted to go home and die.”
“I was never going more than 5 days with out going back into the hospital emergency room until I started taking ProArgi9. … it’s been 6 months since I’ve been into a hospital. …I feel like I’m 40 years old again.”
Angelo Cici
Dan Austin is the RN in charge of every patient in this study. He saw first hand the amazing results of ProArgi9 from the beginning to the end. “I’ve been doing this type of work in critical care for well over 20 years and you see what congestive heart failure does. I have seen a dramatic, a dramatic reversal in Angelo’s symptoms.”
Dan Austin
Dr. Siva Arunasalam, is the founder and attending Cardiologist at the Heart Institute of the High Desert in Victorville, California. “I expected a marginal improvement in the symptoms…what we ended up seeing was remarkable, positive, remodeling of the heart, positive pulmonary artery changes, pulmonary vascular changes…”
Dr. Siva Arunasalam
High Desert Heart Institute
The High Desert Heart Institute provides primary care and heart disease services to patients in the Victor Valley and all surrounding areas.
“We strongly believe that many patients can be just as effectively treated in the outpatient setting as in the hospital.”
As an outpatient center, we provide all of the routine heart tests such as electrocardiography, Holter monitoring, event monitoring, and routine blood testing. But we also provide a variety of advanced diagnostic and therapeutic methods. We have in-house echocardiography, vascular ultrasound, nuclear stress testing, pulmonary function testing and a variety of other important diagnostic modalities. We are also very pleased to be the first outpatient center in the High Desert providing EECP (Enhanced External CounterPulsation) — an important therapy that can help patients with angina and heart failure.
The Heart Institute of the High Desert was started in 1996 with the arrival of Dr. Siva Arunasalam to the Victor Valley. Having completed his cardiology training at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, he was recruited by St. Mary Regional Medical Center to bring advanced cardiac technology to the High Desert. Initially in a small office near the hospital, the Institute had explosive growth requiring a move to a larger facility. The present facility on Hesperia Road has served very well, but because of continued growth, we are building a much larger building farther North on Hesperia that will allow better service and care of patients, and also allow our patients access to more specialists.

What the Dr. Thinks of Proargi9 Plus

Our Survival Stories

Dr. Joe passionately believes in the ability of proargi9 plus to enhance health. ProArgi9 plus is an essential amino acid that has been studied for more than 50 years. In 1998, three American scientists won the Noble Prize for the discovery of the role that proargi9 plus plays in the production of nitric oxide in the body. Nitric oxide dilates the blood vessels, helping them relax and restore elasticity. ProArgi9 plus is also important in cell division, immunity, and the secretion of hormones. Since 1991, Dr. Joe has been personally using proargi9 plus and recommending it in his medical practice. “ProArgi9 plus benefits the body in a myriad of ways,” says Dr. Joe. “We have now learned more about how proargi9 plus uses the two natural pathways into the brain to promote anti-aging properties, sports performance, and boost the immune system. Because proargi9 plus promotes healthy blood flow, it can also benefit human sexuality. We can’t ignore the power of proargi9 plus any longer!” Although you can get proargi9 plus from many types of foods, including meat, shellfish, and legumes, the average daily intake of proargi9 plus usually only meets the body’s basic requirements for tissue repair and cell maintenance. “Proargi9 plus supplements provide much more of the amino acid available to your body for its many other purposes,” Dr. Joe says. He is an accomplished scientist, researcher, and humanist and has been a practicing physician for over 35 years. During that time Dr. Joe has empowered countless patients in the art of self-care. Dr. Joe believes in the power of the individual and has spent his career helping people manage their own health. Dr. Joe is board-certified in internal medicine as well as endocrinology and metabolism. A graduate of Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan, he completed a fellowship in endocrinology and metabolism at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit and his research fellowship at the University of California, San Francisco. Dr. Joe is passionate about research and service to those unable to access quality care in all walks of life. He is the author of over 40 medical articles in well-known publications such as the Journal of the American Medical Association, The New England Journal of Medicine, and Diabetes Care. Dr. Joe recently received a certificate of recognition from the American Medical Association for demonstrating outstanding commitment to eliminating health care disparities in the area of access. Dr. Joe has recently published his first book The Uncommon Doctor: Dr. Joe’s Rx for Managing Your Health, that reveals the secrets of preventive medicine and helps readers design a strategic wellness program.

Our Survival Stories

ProArgi 9 Plus: What it did for me, and a lot of other people that have joined me. In 1982 I was diagnosed with high blood pressure, the doctor said your blood pressure is high, I already knew that, then he said I will prescribe some pills, I asked how long do I have to take them, he said probably the rest of your life, I asked isn’t there any cure, he said there is a lot of things that cause high blood pressure, I asked well what is mine cause, he said I don’t know, I got the proscription and want home not knowing any more then when I went in. I battled high blood pressure for about 27 years, in 2007 I suffered a heart attack, after I got out of the hospital I went back to the doctor 3 times for a checkup on the 3rd visit I told her that I was going to stop taking the drugs she had prescribed all 7 of them, she said you can’t do that, you will probably have to take then for the rest of your life, I said the heart attack did kill me but this drugs might, she asked what are you going to do, I gave her a brochure about Proargi 9 Plus that I had taken with me she glanced at it and laid it on her desk and said you have my phone number if you notice any problems call me, I said thank you and left 2 months later she called me, she said how are you doing, I told her I was doing very good, she said would you like for me to give you a checkup, I said sure, she said I am going to set you an appointment but first I am going to send you a prescription for a blood test, I said ok, a few days after I took the blood test she called me and said I am going ti cancel your appointment, I asked why, she said there isn’t any thing that I can do to get your blood readings better so I am going to discharge you, I said I thought that you had discharged me the last time I was there, this was almost 3 years ago. I have not been to a doctor since 12/15/2007. Thanks to Proargi 9 Plus.

I can only say thanks to PROARGI9 PLUS made by Synergy World Wide

A few months ago I was talking to a Veterinarian friend of mine, he asked me about the heart attack he said it look like you are doing very good, I said I was, then we started to jock around, I asked him if he ever treated humans, he said no, I said well the next time that my wife or I need medical attention we are going to see what you can do for us, let me explain, I told him that I was going to write him a note, I do not want you to ask me any questions I will not know the answers, if I did I would not be here, just treat me like any other animal, we just had to laugh, then he said you are nuts.

Woman Lived 7 Years With Towel Inside Body

April 25th, 2010

Bonnie Valle lived the last seven years of her life with a towel the size of a large hand towel lodged behind her left lung. The towel was discovered upon autopsy and had been left there during a 1995 surgery for emphysema.
Valle complained of chest pains for seven years after her surgery, saying she felt there was something in her body pressing on her lungs.
The hospital claimed the woman suffered no ill health effects from the towel and the judge dismissed claims against the doctor. The family settled with the hospital for an undisclosed sum.
This unaccountable doctor made the following statement in 2004 after the media reported on the case:
“She lived seven years … which is certainly as well as one would have expected her to survive given her severe emphysema and poor pulmonary function and overall condition.”
What exactly would have made this doctor accountable? Leaving a beach towel in the woman’s body?

FDA stepping up oversight of drug pumps

April 25th, 2010

CHICAGO – Federal health regulators on Friday announced steps to improve the design and safety of drug pumps that have been linked to more than 700 deaths in the past five years.
“It’s clear from the history of problems we’re seeing that there is a need for more careful infusion pump design and testing,” said Dr. Jeffrey Shuren of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. He announced the initiative Friday at a health journalists’ conference in Chicago.
Infusion pumps are used to deliver fluids — liquid nutrients and medicines like insulin, morphine, chemotherapy or anesthesia — into a patient’s body. They are used in hospitals as well as by patients at home.
Over the past five years, the FDA has received reports linking 710 deaths to infusion pump problems, and that likely is an underestimate, said Shuren, the FDA’s director of the Center for Devices and Radiological Health,
In the past, many problems were attributed to human error, a doctor or nurse thinking they mistyped infusion directions. But FDA officials believe that software and design issues are actually at the root of many of them.
The FDA is working on new guidelines that call on manufacturers to provide more detailed design and engineering information to FDA for new pumps. The FDA also wants manufacturers to try out the devices in settings where they are commonly used, and when necessary, it wants to be able to inspect the manufacturing plant before approving the device.

BEE POLLEN:

April 14th, 2010

Pollen is the male seed of flowers which is required for the fertilization of plants. There are two types of pollen – airborne pollen (anemophile) and non-airborne pollen (entomophile). Entomophile pollen or “bee pollen” is carried on the bodies of bees as they go from flower to flower fertilizing each plant they visit. Anemophile or airborne pollen is the culprit in seasonal allergies – not bee pollen. Bee pollen acts as an antigen against airborne pollen and can be effective in treating seasonal allergies [see FAQ for more on this subject]. As the honeybee makes its rounds, it packs its “pollen baskets” (located on its legs) full of pollen which it takes back to the hive as food for the colony. The colony is fed a combination of honey and bee pollen. Chemical analysis from research labs all over the world show that bee pollen is a complete food. Bee pollen contains the following nutrients [the location and source of bee pollen can cause variability in the vitamin and mineral content of bee pollen]: All essential amino acids, minerals, including phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, calcium, copper, manganese, iron and zinc, some trace minerals, all B vitamins, including B-12 [one of the few vegeterian sources of B-12], Folic Acid, Panthothenic Acid, Rutin, Lecithin, RNA, DNA and enzymes. It also contains anti-oxidants, including flavanoids, beta-carotene, Vitamins C and E, and Lycopene. Research has shown that bee pollen contains a substance which inhibits the development of numerous harmful bacteria, including E. Coli. Clincial studies have shown that bee pollen has a regulatory effect on intestinal function, relieving even the most stubborn constipation. Studies also show that bee pollen is high enzymes and co-enzymes. Enzymes are necessary in the body for digestive and immune functions. The enzymes present in bee pollen are especially important for a balanced chemical metabolism. This balancing or regulating function may be the key factor in bee pollen’s ability to assist in weight regulation. Bee pollen is approximately 25% complete protein containing at least 18 amino acids, more than 12 vitamins, 28 minerals, 11 enzymes and co-enzymes, 14 beneficial fatty acids, and 11 carbohydrates. Bee pollen is low in calories at 90 calories per oz. (approx. 2 tsps.). It contains Lecithin which helps dissolve and flush fat out of the body, which in turn lowers low density lipoproteins (LDL) and raises high-density lipoproteins (HDL). Bee pollen stimulates metabolism and curbs the appetite due to its Phenylalanine content [one of the essential amino acids]. It is also a powerful antioxidant (one of the highest) and has a high polyphenol content — a super bioflavinoid.

In 1992, Dr. R. Chandra of John Hopkins University gave moderate amounts of bee pollen to a group of elderly patients and noted an increase in their immunity and a decrease in the risk of infections. He also demonstrated a direct link between the level of Iron, Zinc, B6 and Beta Carotene with a strong immune system (all components of bee pollen).

The British Royal Society of Naturalists has been researching the health effects of bee pollen for years. They state “The nutritional tests supervised by the station at Bures on hundreds of mice have demonstrated that pollen is a complete food, that it is possible to let several generations be born and live without the least sign of distress, while nourishing them exclusively on bee pollen.”

Dr. Carlson Wade in his book “About Pollen” states, “Bee pollen contains a gonadotrophic hormone similar to the pituitary hormone, gonadotrophin, which functions as a sex gland stimulant…By providing energy and stamina it’s also helpful for infertility and impotence, especially when combined with honey and royal jelly. The healing, rejuvenating and disease-fighting effects of this total nutrient are hard to believe, yet fully documented. Aging, digestive upsets, prostate diseases, sore throats, acne, fatigue, sexual problems, allergies and a host of other problems have been successfully treated by using bee pollen.” Viagra – move over!!!

Dallas Clouatre, Ph.D. is a researcher and author. In his book “Flower Pollen for Prostate Health”, he reports that bee pollen consumption amoung men with prostate problems results in significant improvement and alleviation of symptoms. Specifically “less nightime urination, improved bladder emptying, and reduced prostate discomfort.” A Swedish study conducted by Dr. Gosta Leander also concluded that bee pollen can significantly affect imflammation and swelling of the prostate gland.

Scientific evidence from all over the world and thousands of years of anecdotal evidence show a huge range of potential health benefits from the consumption of bee products (includes bee venom therapy, honey, pollen, royal jelly and propalis). They are as follows:

promote anti-aging/longevity
stimulate the immune system and fight against viral and bacterial infection
