Rochester, NY (PRWEB) March 11, 2012

Is there a link between the MMR II vaccine and Autism? The Center for the Biology of Chronic Disease (CBCD) would like to present such a possible link.

Kathy Wakefield, immunisation lead at NHS Rotherham, said “Some years ago, there were many stories in the media linking MMR with autism. These caused some parents to delay their child’s MMR immunisation or not to have it at all resulting in outbreaks of measles. However, independent experts from around the world have found no credible scientific evidence for such a link and in fact now have a large amount of evidence showing that there is no link.”

In contrast to Ms. Wakefield’s statement, the Center for the Biology of Chronic Disease (CBCD) would like to show how Microcompetition could be the missing link.In other words, Microcompetition could be the biological mechanism linking the MMR II vaccine to Autism.

Microcompetition was first published in Dr. Hanan Polansky’s highly acclaimed “Purple” book, entitled Microcompetition with Foreign DNA and the Origin of Chronic Disease. In this book, he explains how foreign DNA fragments can cause many major diseases. The book has been read by more than 5,000 scientists around the world, and has been reviewed in more than 20 leading scientific journals.

The CBCD believes Ms. Wakefield has not read Dr. Polansky’s book, and therefore, is unaware of the potential dangers of foreign DNA fragments found in certain vaccines.

For instance, the vaccine package insert for the MMR II vaccine written by Merck & Co., Inc. and that can be downloaded from the FDA website, [1] shows that Fetal cell line Wistar RA 27/3, Fetal cell line WI-38, and genetically engineered human albumin are all used in the vaccine.

The CBCD believes that the current purification processes cannot completely filter all foreign DNA plasmids used in the process of manufacturing the MMR II vaccine. Therefore, some foreign DNA fragments end up being injected into infants.

In support of this belief, Dr. Helen Ratajczak, Ph.D. who published two papers on the subject in the Journal of Immunotoxicology, says “The MMR II vaccine is contaminated with human DNA from the cell line in which the rubella virus is grown. This human DNA could be the cause of the spikes in incidence. An additional increased spike in incidence of autism occurred in 1995 when the chicken pox vaccine was grown in human fetal tissue.” (Merck and Co., Inc., 2001; Breuer, 2003).

The contamination of MMR II with foreign DNA fragments, discussed by Dr. Ratajczak, combined with Microcompetition, discovered by Dr. Polansky is the missing link between MMR II and Autism.

“At first, I wish to congratulate Dr. Hanan Polansky for his scientific bravery to take such a unique, novel approach to further stimulate our understanding of the origin and establishment of chronic diseases. The philosophy underscored is an excellent one … The amazing correlation between theoretical predictions and observed in vivo effects seem to bring us a step closer to a deeper understanding of such complex biologic processes.” – Dr. Sivasubramanian Baskar, PhD – Senior Scientist, National Cancer Institute, NIH

In light of the discovery of microcompetition with foreign DNA, the CBCD especially encourages NHS officials, physicians (as well as virologists, biologists, geneticists, scientists and the public) to obtain a copy of Dr. Hanan Polansky’s book and read it.

The CBCD endorses Dr. Polansky’s theory and invites family doctors, pediatricians, scientists, the media, and the public to contact us on this issue.

A San Francisco Company, Stack Wealth Management, has teamed up this week with Annuity Think Tank to create a new educational retirement income website called Retirement Expert California. The new informative retirement website will feature daily retirement and income planning content including blogs, articles and retirement focused white papers. The new site, “http://www.retirementexpertcalifornia.com,” will also highlight relevant retirement videos focused on the importance of contractually guaranteed lifetime income.

Many of the latest retirement studies from both Allianz and the Society of Actuaries reveal that baby boomers are completely rethinking retirement. Instead of looking for growth and high returns, the fear of outliving their nest egg has turned the focus to preservation of principal, safety and income. As baby boomers and retirees in San Francisco and other parts of Northern California search the web for the best retirement information, the need for up to date and unbiased research is crucial. The site, http://www.retirementexpertcalifornia.com was designed to make retirement education easy for baby boomers online. The site updates new retirement relevant information and articles on a daily basis and can serve as the one stop shop for retirement edification for California baby boomers.

IBISWorld Market Research

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) February 26, 2012

Diagnostic and medical laboratories provide healthcare practitioners with information about the presence, severity and cause of patients’ physical ailments. While the Diagnostic and Medical Laboratories industry has long been an essential ingredient in healthcare, according to IBISWorld industry analyst Sophia Snyder, the aging population and the ongoing move toward preventative care have further boosted revenue in recent years. Indeed, during the five years to 2012, revenue is expected to grow an average of 2% annually to $ 48 billion. Growth has started to accelerate after it slowed in 2008 due to the economic recession, and revenue is expected to rise 2.7% in 2012.

According to Snyder, “While the aging population has bolstered demand, it has also threatened the industry. Laboratories are witnessing a shortage of skilled labor as baby boomers, who make up a significant portion of the industry workforce, retire and fewer individuals pursue healthcare professions. This trend is evident in the marginal 0.1% annual increase in employment to 251,382 people over the five years to 2012. The shortage of skilled labor has boosted salaries as operators try to entice people into the field and retain current employees. The escalating use of automation and standardization in laboratories has helped keep overall wage costs down.”

The market for analytic and diagnostic services will continue to grow at a rapid pace in the five years to 2017, says Snyder. Scientific advances are yielding new and improved service capabilities, and the aging US population is requiring more and better laboratory testing and diagnostic imaging services. Additionally, the healthcare reform legislation of 2010 will begin taking effect during the next five years, which will be a net benefit to the industry, mainly due to increased healthcare insurance coverage. Greater access to insurance will boost demand since out-of-pocket costs for laboratory services will shrink. The trade-off for the industry will be Medicare reimbursement cuts.

This industry has a low level of concentration, with the top four players accounting for about 30% of industry revenue; however, the top two players – Quest Diagnostics and Laboratory Corp of America – control many of the markets in which they operate. There has been some consolidation in this industry in recent years, particularly in the laboratory segment, but the industry remains highly fragmented.

Minnetonka, MN (PRWEB) March 01, 2012

The National Association of Purchasing Card Professionals (http://www.napcp.org) is offering three workshops April 16, 2012, at the Omni Hotel at CNN Center in Atlanta, Georgia, to fulfill the varying levels of educational need in the industry: How P-Cards Add Value to Your Organization (half-day), Comprehensive P-Card Program Management (full-day), and How to Use Microsoft Excel® Pivot Tables for Auditing and Data Analysis (half-day).

Solutions providers and end-users (Purchasing Card program managers/administrators, treasury professionals, accounts payable and procurement managers and more) are welcome to attend (online registration and fee payment at http://www.napcp.org/events).

Workshop 1

Professionals with responsibilities related to purchase-to-pay (P2P) processes, including P-Card, should register for the half-day workshop, How P-Cards Add Value to Your Organization, to build a solid knowledge base. Key takeaways include:

learning how to “speak the language,” and spend less time looking up definitions and more time on program improvements
addressing internal P-Card resisters and increasing program buy-in
identifying the best P-Card targets for an organization
considering whether other Commercial Card options, such as electronic payables, could benefit an organization
engaging management in a discussion about improving P2P strategies

The workshop will address the following and more:

how/where P-Cards fit into a payment strategy, the benefits and ideal P-Card P2P process
emergence of payables solutions and how they co-exist with P-Cards to optimize efficiencies and cost savings
the “supplier side” of the equation—such as the fees related to card acceptance, as well as the benefits

Workshop 2

For P-Card program administrators and managers, the full-day workshop, P-Card Program Management, presents comprehensive “how-tos” for a successful program:

Conduct a risk analysis to get the true picture, then determine the right level of P-Card controls to maximize use and eliminate misuse
Learn optimal auditing practices and understand why 100% is not a perfect approach
Learn key performance indicators and how to track progress against goals
Appropriate staffing to cover key roles and responsibilities
Commercial Card options and how each can enhance a payments strategy, complementing the P-Card program

Workshop 3

A second half-day workshop, How to Use Microsoft Excel® Pivot Tables for Auditing and Data Analysis, is intended to build skills for individuals who play a role in auditing P-Card transactions. Pivot tables are a cost-effective way to add automation to a program, reducing reliance on manual efforts and time spent on auditing.

Many more details are available on the NAPCP event website: http://www.napcp.org/workshops

The three workshops precede the NAPCP 13th Annual Commercial Card and Payment Conference, scheduled for April 16-19, 2012, at the Omni Hotel at CNN Center, Atlanta, Georgia. Complete details, including online program, registration and hotel reservations are available at http://www.napcp.org/2012.

Austin, TX (PRWEB) February 29, 2012

A new, free bonus report is included with the Chinch Guard product from Planet Amazing. The report is called Lawn Care Secrets, and is written by expert lawn care specialist Justin Douglas from Planet Amazing, who says “I will show you what the difference is between you and the most meticulous lawn care, and teach you step-by-step what you can do to create an immaculate lawn or garden. These simple, easy, and time-saving tips are secrets used by the pros for years! I have worked with gardeners, lawn care experts, and landscapers to show them the most efficient, long-lasting, and easy secrets to creating a beautiful outdoor world. I was able to help them, so think of what I could do for you.”

Mr. Douglas says that a second aspect of lawn and garden care is dealing with pests, and that recently there has been more publicity about the immunity that insects are developing towards traditional chemical pesticides. “It is common to hear that pesticides are not working on insects like they did in the past, because the insects are building up an immunity to chemicals. At Planet Amazing, we use only non-toxic solutions, and our main pesticide products use a solution that is not a chemical at all, and which insects cannot resist. The microcrystals technology will work with these insects to keep your lawn and garden safe, and it is a white fine powder which is safe for pets, humans and plants, but fatal to harmful insects. It is a non-toxic chinch bug cure”

Mr. Douglas says the lawn care report comes with Chinch Guard, a microcrystals-based s olution for killing chinch bugs. He says Chinch Guard is also essential in areas where chinch bugs live, and that other methods have been found to be ineffective: “baits and traps are ineffective because, while they may trap some, you are missing the majority of chinch bugs. Chinch bugs cannot be baited because they are foragers—they simply wander until they come across food, which is why baited traps are useless. And, as with spray insecticides, you are risking poisoning your children and pets. Extermination companies are an option that works to kill chinch bugs. But, there are several drawbacks to this option as well. Most chinch bug exterminators rely on even more powerful and potentially dangerous chemicals while practicing their craft. Moreover, the chemicals they use can’t even be purchased without a restriction EPA license. That means the EPA doesn’t allow non-licensed people buy it publicly. That has to tell you something. Further, these services are very expensive and often require a service agreement for 1-2 years.”

The free report is available when buying Chinch Guard from the main website at http://www.chinchguard.com.
