Recently there has been some reports that people taking sleep aids containing aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) have had problems with their livers. The problem is that aspirin may be contained in many products and as a result of taking several products one could have a larger than desired dosage of apspirin. I would like to call your attention to the fact that PowerSleep does not contain aspirin. see http://www.energywave.com/products/powersleep/powersleep.htm

Swine Flu and self quarantine

May people are concerned that if and when the Swine flu comes back in the fall, people will be required to be vaccinated. The problem is that many of us are concerned about the ill effects of vaccinations --and in this case it does not make it more palatable knowing that the vaccine is being made by Baxter Labs which has a questionable reputation. So the answer would seem to be to allow those of us inclined toward "health freedom" to be self quarantined.

Ralph Fucetola (a.k.a. the Vitamin Lawyer) has made a case for self quarantine. To learn more about this go to http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=27275
This is written in a rather extreme manner, but take that aside, this is a serious issue.

Paraplegic man walks again after spider bite

It seems a paraplegic man who was confined to a wheelchair for 20 years is now walking again. He was hospitalized after being bitten by a Brown Recluse spider. It was there that a nurse noticed his leg spasm and ran a test on him.

"When they zapped my legs, I felt the current; I was like 'whoa' and I yelled," he said. He felt the current and the rush of renewed sense of hope. The nurse said "Your nerves are alive; they're just asleep". The man is now out of rehab and on his feet and walking.
