it seems you have been a badder boy than I thought. Looks like some chickens may come home to roost if you can’t start a barbecue. So you know where the skeletons are. And it also seems that you know whose closets they occupy.

Don’t complain about how much you sweat when you work out — it could actually be one of the reasons you can work out. A recent study shows that people who sweat more are less likely to have exercise-induced asthma, a type of asthma that typically arises suddenly, five to 10 minutes into a workout, or even after the workout is over. One moment you are playing tennis or basketball or running… the next, you’re experiencing symptoms of asthma, such as wheezing, coughing, chest pain and/or a shortage of breath. It can even happen in people with no history of asthma.
WHO GETS EXERCISE-INDUCED ASTHMA?
Exercise-induced asthma (or EIA) is brought on by continuous, strenuous aerobic activity, such as running or cross-country skiing. A research study on EIA has provided some insight into who those particularly susceptible individuals might be. At the US Naval Medical Center in San Diego, Warren Lockette, MD, and his team of researchers analyzed the rate of fluid secretion (in sweat, saliva and tears) in young members of the military suspected of having EIA. To identify those with the condition, researchers gave 56 healthy volunteers a drug that produced similar physiological effects as EIA and then measured their airflow. Those who experienced a 20% or more drop in airflow were confirmed to have EIA. Next he measured their sweating rates, along with fluid secretions from the mouth and eyes.
The results (published in September 2008 issue of Chest) showed that people least likely to have EIA produced more sweat and had more saliva and tears than those who are prone to the condition. Those with low airflow also had the lowest rates of fluid secretion in their mouths or eyes and on their skin from sweat. Dr. Lockette told me he was surprised by the magnitude of the correlation between sweating rates and EIA.
SWEAT IS A GOOD THING
How is sweat linked to exercise-induced asthma? Dr. Lockette thinks that external secretions, such as sweat and saliva, reflect how much water is normally secreted within the lung’s airways. The drier the airways, the more likely EIA will occur. If this is true, then “giving attention to hydration and nutrition is the next area to study,” says Dr. Lockette. He is doing just that. More information about the root causes of EIA may lead to solutions — such as better hydration — that are easier and safer than current options, including prescription medications taken orally or with inhalers, which carry their own risks. Stay tuned.

The guy became head of the CIA to get control of all the information on ALL investments made in the world markets. He used the information to enable insider trading on the highest level ever imaginable. It made multi-billionaires over night.

We were making so much money that when he informed us that he could do much more for us as President, we went for it big time. So we put together the fastest money pot any Presidential candidate ever had. Then we set out to insure his election.

It was then we learned that money and power was not enough to own America. We had to have control over a significant numbers of mindless minions to get out there and bring us the votes. Of course this was before the technology was available to enable us to steal elections.

GH Bush was never a leader of our group. He was just a very ambitious soldier. He like Dole wanted to be one of us. We despised these lackeys, but we had to admit they were willing to do anything to become seated members of our little group. So we played on them to gain absolute control of all money transactions going through the USA.

There are many stories that can be told about the getting there, but for now I just wish to say we settled on GH Bush to give us that via the Presidency and Dole through the Senate.

GH had his own greedy aims. As soon as he became President he made bigger overtures to the Saudi royal family to secure billions for his family and personal friends. We were very upset at our cut of this action. Between us we knew that if we let him remain in office for a second term, he would try to oust us. His fate was sealed. He never forgave us for kicking him out.

GH came to us with a brilliant idea. He knew through his CIA connections that Saddam coveted the wealth of Kuwait. That’s the lie he told us. We later found that his CIA operatives had been putting the bug in Saddam’s ear about all the riches he could have by taking control of Kuwait. The CIA had many operatives in Saddam’s inner circle. They were instructed to entice Saddam into invading Kuwait.

That would give the US an opportunity to invade and kill him. He had to be killed because he was threatening to change the unit of currency for oil trading from US dollars to Euros. The European cabal was attempting to make an end run to stop the control over the world markets that we were rapidly securing. We agreed and the play was on.

What we didn’t count on was that Saddam would offer such a large sum to keep his life and that that greedy bastard GH would take it. He paid GH 87 billion dollars to leave him in control of Iraq. Bush took the money and pulled out of Iraq leaving Saddam and his regime intact. For a few billion more he gave Saddam the names of the Iraqis and kurds that were lined up to take over after the US had killed Saddam.

The Saudis felt betrayed. They vowed to punish the US for their betrayal. So they set about financing any group who wanted to harm the US or their interest worldwide. That too is another story.

We made a shit load of money as our cut of the $87 billion(we still don’t know how much additional money GH pocketed). But we do know that Saddam had made tapes of the transaction and he was threatening to tell. Now we said that he had to go.

GH was desperate to appease the Saudis and he was worried that the world would find out that he tricked Saddam into invading Kuwait and that he had been assured that if he did the US would look the other way. He was also worried it would become known that he had been paid off by Saddam to allow him to invade Kuwait and to keep control of power afterwards.

We agreed to help him get his idiot son elected provided he allowed our man Chaney to control things. The deal was cut. Since technology had caught up with us, we were now in possession of the technology to guarantee the election of anyone we wanted. So we put the idiot in.

It should also be pointed out that the idiot son with the help of some other greedy ambitious bastards decided that he could run things without our influence. So he set out removing Chaney and others we controlled from the center of influence. We were making so much money that we didn’t perceive the disaster this idiot could get our operation into.

Now the push is on to prevent me from telling the world what I know. More than a few of us are worried. Most are probably watching to see what happens to me. Me, I intend to push back.

It is now widely recognized that women who have breast cancer at an early age (under 50 years) or who’ve had close relatives (a mother, sister or grandmother) with the disease may have alterations of the BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes that make them more susceptible. Now new research suggests recommending gene tests in women with less clear cut risks. Here’s why:
“You can’t have a family history if you don’t have family,” explains Jeffrey N. Weitzel, MD, lead author of the study and director of the City of Hope’s Department of Clinical Cancer Genetics and Cancer Screening and Prevention Program in Duarte, California. He believes a critical step in fighting breast cancer is to expand current genetic testing guidelines to include more women potentially at risk. His research identified a flaw in most guidelines and models to predict the likelihood of a BRCA mutation. Women with breast cancer whose fathers have no sisters, women with few older female relatives, adopted women and women who don’t know their family history are statistically more likely to have a BRCA mutation. Additionally, if a man in the family has breast cancer, it may indicate a BRCA mutation — though most men with a mutation do not get breast cancer, they can pass the trait on to their daughters.
FEW WOMEN IN THEIR FAMILIES
In the study, Dr. Weitzel and his colleagues examined data on 1,543 breast cancer patients who were enrolled in a cancer registry between 1997 and 2007, taking into account details about their family histories. They looked specifically at 306 women — all of whom reported no known first- or second-degree relatives with breast or ovarian cancer, yet were diagnosed with breast cancer before age 50. At present, such women are not routinely tested for the BRCA breast cancer gene mutation, potentially leaving them more susceptible to future cancers down the road.
When researchers asked these women for further details about their family histories, it turned out that 153 (exactly 50%) had fewer than two first- or second-degree female relatives 45 or older on at least one side of their family. Genetic testing of this group revealed BRCA gene mutations in 13.7%, compared with only 5.2% in those with several living female relatives. It’s a strong indication that women with fewer older female relatives — on either side of the family — are at a greater risk of being carriers of a silent BRCA gene mutation, Dr. Weitzel notes.
Genetic mutations are responsible for only 5% of all breast cancers, but women who have BRCA1 or BRCA2 face a higher risk of developing breast cancer (50% to 85%) and ovarian cancer (16% to 50%). So breast cancer patients need to know if they are BRCA carriers and therefore at a higher risk of additional breast or of ovarian cancer.
MORE TESTING = MORE LIVES SAVED
Now that we have effective risk reduction interventions and treatment for breast cancer, especially when discovered in its early stages, genetic testing can save lives — but only if the tests are done. Dr. Weitzel hopes this study will broaden testing criteria to include women with breast cancer who have few older female relatives or an otherwise unclear family history.
There’s also another barrier to testing… money. The genetic tests cost $3,000 or more, and Dr. Weitzel is working as an advocate to expand insurance coverage. He suggests in the meantime that women whose family history is small or uncertain might use this research to make a case for testing coverage.
