World's Most Endangered Whales to Get Recovery Plan at Long Last -- Take Action

North Pacific right whales, among the world's most endangered marine mammals, are finally getting a federal recovery plan. The National Marine Fisheries Service proposed the recovery plan this week, after the Center for Biological Diversity threatened to sue last March because of agency delays.

There are as few as 30 individual North Pacific right whales left in the Bering Sea and Gulf of Alaska, and only a few hundred in Russia's Okhotsk Sea. The whales are extremely vulnerable to ship strikes, oil development and spills, and entanglement in fishing gear. Although the proposed recovery plan provides a much-needed strategy for additional research, it doesn't provide a clear roadmap for reducing those threats. The public has 45 days to comment on the plan -- and we're pushing to ensure it includes stronger protections.

"North Pacific right whales have a long road to recovery, but we hope it starts here," said Sarah Uhlemann, a Center attorney. "With just a small number of these great animals left in the world, the loss of even one of them could threaten this population's existence."

Obama Vows Climate Action, Center Op-ed Offers First Steps

President Barack Obama featured the need to respond to the climate crisis prominently in his second inaugural speech on Monday. The crisis, largely ignored during Obama's first term, was one of a few specific policy areas mentioned in the speech. "We will respond to the threat of climate change, knowing that the failure to do so would betray our children and future generations," the president said. "Some may still deny the overwhelming judgment of science, but none can avoid the devastating impact of raging fires and crippling drought and more powerful storms."

This is a promising sign, and we're eager to see details and concrete action. On the same day as the president's speech, an op-ed in The Miami Herald by Shaye Wolf, the Center for Biological Diversity's climate science director, laid out steps Obama can immediately take to address the climate crisis, including full use of the Clean Air Act. "The president has a clear opportunity to revolutionize his whole approach to fighting manmade climate change," Wolf wrote. We're hoping he takes full advantage of it in his second term, and we'll keep pushing hard for him to do so.

Lawsuit Aims to Stop Unregulated Fracking in California

In our latest action to stop dangerous fracking, the Center for Biological Diversity went to court this morning to require California regulators to enforce existing laws to protect people, wildlife and the environment from fracking. Fracking, a rapidly expanding method of oil and gas extraction, is happening at hundreds of wells across California.

The lawsuit, filed in Alameda County, says fracking has been allowed to expand without legally required oversight, including compliance with existing oil and gas regulations that would require disclosure of all fracking chemicals, as well as engineering studies and tests to evaluate the potential for underground migration of fracking fluids. State regulators would also need to ensure that fracking is conducted in a way that prevented damage to life, health, property, and California's water and other natural resources.

More than 600 wells in at least nine California counties were fracked in 2011 alone, and recent advances in fracking techniques are driving a growing interest in the Monterey Shale, a geological formation holding an estimated 14 billion barrels of oil. California regulators cannot continue ignoring the risks of this dangerous practice.

Take action to stop fracking now, join us in San Francisco for a protest Feb. 1, and learn about our accelerating campaign against dirty, destructive fracking.

Lead Suspected in Death of Utah's Only Breeding Female Condor

The female in Utah's only breeding pair of endangered California condors has been found dead at Zion National Park. Investigators are trying to determine whether the 9-year-old bird, known as Condor 343, died from lead poisoning, which is the leading cause of death for condors in northern Arizona and southern Utah. The birds ingest lead when they scavenge game that's been shot with lead hunting ammunition.

The Center for Biological Diversity has been fighting for years to get lead out of hunting ammunition and fishing tackle that, left in the wild, poisons and kills millions of birds and other wildlife every year. A study released last year found that lead ammunition is creating an "epidemic" of lead poisoning in California condors and preventing their recovery. Despite mounting scientific evidence about the dangers of lead to both wildlife and people, the National Rifle Association keeps pushing legislation to ban the federal government from addressing these preventable poisonings.

Suit Filed to Save Florida Corals From Global Warming, Ocean Acidification

The Center for Biological Diversity filed a lawsuit against the National Marine Fisheries Service on Wednesday for failing to develop a recovery plan for elkhorn and staghorn corals. The corals were protected under the Endangered Species Act in 2006, in response to a Center petition, but still lack a recovery plan -- a necessary blueprint for their recovery.
    
Reefs in Florida and the Caribbean were once dominated by these beautiful, branching corals, but now the species are in steep decline due to bleaching from increasing ocean temperatures, disease, fishing, pollution and ocean acidification. Corals reef ecosystems are called the "rainforests of the sea," and an array of marine life -- including the brightly colored clownfish of Finding Nemo fame -- depend on reefs.

"Time is short for saving coral reefs. If we want a future with beautiful reefs, healthy fisheries and thriving marine life, we have to act now to reduce carbon dioxide pollution," said Jaclyn Lopez, a Florida attorney at the Center.

Deadly White-nose Syndrome Arrives at Mammoth Cave National Park, Ky.

White-nose syndrome, the deadly malady that has killed millions of bats in caves across the nation, has been found at Mammoth Cave National Park in Kentucky. Last week's discovery is the latest chilling example of the spread of the disease that was first discovered in the United States in a cave in upstate New York in 2006 and has since been found in 19 U.S. states, nine national parks and four Canadian provinces and killed almost 7 million bats.

The Center for Biological Diversity has fought for federal protections since 2010 for bat species affected by white-nose syndrome; we have advocated for stringent restrictions on cave visitation and decontamination of caving gear to prevent spread of the fungus to new caves.

"The best hope for bats all along has been for research on the disease to speed up, for human travel into caves to slow down, and for government agencies, cave recreationists and everyone else to take all the protective measures possible to save the bats we have left," said the Center's Mollie Matteson. "It will be a sad day indeed when hibernating bats are no longer part of the mystery and beauty of North American caves."

48,000 People Denounce Georgia's 'Rattlesnake Roundup'

Organized by the Center for Biological Diversity, more than 48,000 people this week urged a cruel "rattlesnake roundup" in Georgia to transition to a wildlife-friendly festival where no snakes are killed. The roundups are barbaric contests that feature the capture and slaughter of large numbers of native snakes.

Eastern diamondback rattlesnakes targeted by the roundup in Whigham, Ga., are rapidly disappearing in the southeastern United States. This once-common species is being pushed toward extinction not only by hunting pressure but also by habitat loss and road mortality. All of Georgia's other roundups have abandoned or replaced the events with festivals celebrating local wildlife; the Whigham roundup is the last of its kind in the state.

Learn more about the Center's ongoing work to stop rattlesnake roundups; then take action to help eliminate these deadly roundups across the country.

Lawsuit Launched for Rare Mountain Fox

Fewer than 50 Sierra Nevada red foxes are known to exist in the high mountains of California and Oregon. These slight, alpine foxes are unique from all others in North America -- and one of the most endangered mammals in the world. Yet more than a year after the Center for Biological Diversity filed a petition to federally protect the animals in April 2011, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has yet to announce their safeguards. Because the agency neglected its Endangered Species Act deadline -- and this fox doesn't have time to wait -- the Center last week filed a notice of intent to sue the agency.

Although California has protected Sierra Nevada red foxes as threatened, Oregon has granted them no safeguards at all. The state still allows their trapping, one of the threats that helped drive them toward their currently tiny, genetically anemic population. Along with trapping, logging, grazing, poisoning, and vehicles tearing up their habitat, these mountain dwellers are now also threatened by climate change, which threatens to shrink their habitat even more by pushing cool temperatures farther upslope. With our impending suit, the Center is determined to earn Sierra Nevada red foxes the federal protection and wide-range recovery strategy they need to ensure that the few remaining don't dwindle to zero.

Learn more about our work to protect the Sierra Nevada red fox.

Wild & Weird: Can't See the Factory Fire for the Smog

Official air-quality readings in Beijing, China have topped out at nearly 40 times the World Health Organization's safe limit. On the worst days, a seemingly impenetrable brown cloud envelops the capital city, skyscrapers stand shrouded, and area hospitals fill with patients suffering respiratory sickness.

Recently the smog was so thick in another Chinese coastal area, Zhejiang province, that a furniture factory actually burned for three hours before a single resident ever took notice. Apparently air quality has gotten so bad that it's difficult to tell the difference between normal smog and billowing plumes of smoke from a raging inferno.

Wondering about air-pollution levels closer to home? Check out the American Lung Association's 2012 State of the Air report to see air pollution levels in U.S. cities. And read more about the seemingly apocalyptic air-quality situation in Beijing in the South China Morning Post.

A new poll of the Virginia governor’s race shows Democrat Terry McAuliffe leading extremist Republican Ken Cuccinelli, 46%-41%.

BREAKING: A new poll of the Virginia governor’s race shows Democrat Terry McAuliffe leading extremist Republican Ken Cuccinelli, 46%-41%.
This is going to be a long, tough race, but we’re starting ahead and we need to build on it. Cuccinelli just compared his efforts to deny women access to contraception to Martin Luther King, Jr.'s fight for civil rights. It's scary how out of touch this guy is with most Virginians, but we need the resources to make sure voters get the message. It’s how we’ll win this race.
This poll will get the Republicans’ attention, too. Cuccinelli has the backing of all the Republicans’ extremist, billionaire powerbrokers. The billionaire Koch brothers just contributed $50,000 to air nasty, untruthful attack ads to prop up Cuccinelli.
We have to start preparing for their attacks now. We need your help raising $50,000 by Friday at midnight to set the record straight on the lies that are coming. We have to go all-in now to win.
Rush a donation of $3 or more so that we can build on this result and run the kind of campaign that can blunt Republican attacks to win back the Virginia governor’s seat.
We don’t have the GOP’s deep pockets. We have you, and we need you to go all-in with us now if we’re going to win this race.
Thanks,

Jan. 11, 2013: AFGE: The Week In Review

Panetta Warns DoD May Have to Furlough 800,000 Civilian Employees: Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said the Pentagon may be forced to furlough nearly 800,000 civilian employees if the second fiscal cliff were to happen in March. Panetta said the Pentagon has begun planning for the triple crisis: across-the-board budget cuts known as sequestration, the expiration of the continuing resolution that keeps the government funded, and the default of its debt if the debt ceiling is not raised.  
“I’d like to believe that ultimately, Congress will do the right thing,” Panetta told reporters at the Pentagon. “My fear in talking to members of Congress is that this issue may now be in a very difficult place in terms of their willingness to confront what needs to be done to de-trigger sequester. So all those reasons, plus the uncertainty about what happen on the CR, the debt ceiling, put all that together, and we simply cannot sit back now and not be prepared for the worst.”
But he added: “No amount of planning we can do can fully offset the harm that would result from sequestration, if that happens.”
Besides civilian personnel, military readiness would be hard hit if the cuts were to happen. The Pentagon expects a 20 percent cut in the readiness budget, including a 30-percent cut for the Army.
“If we’re required to do these cuts, suddenly we’ve got to achieve these levels of savings, how do you protect the war-fighters, those involved in Afghanistan, those areas that are critical to our national defense? So where do you go? You go to readiness, you go to maintenance, training, this is where the cuts are ultimately made, and when that happens, it makes us less ready,” Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey said.
NP Cox on How Upcoming Budget Battles Affect You: In a video message to AFGE members, AFGE National President J. David Cox Sr. explains the new tax deal reached last week to avert the fiscal cliff and postpone the across-the-board cuts for two months. The video is an excellent explanation of the upcoming budget battles and how it will affect AFGE members.
NP Cox also asks members to sign up for AFGE action alerts and provide home email addresses to keep themselves informed of urgent issues affecting their federal career. As AFGE will be sending out action alerts on the budget battle in the coming weeks, NP Cox, in a rare request, asks that members open the emails and not just delete them.
Mass Transit Subsidy Goes up to $240: Federal employees’ mass transit subsidy will go up from $125 to $240 through 2013 and is retroactive to Jan. 1, 2012. The increase is part of the fiscal cliff bill that was signed into law last week. This brings the transit subsidy, which was reduced in 2011, in line with parking benefits that went up to $240 in 2011.
Mileage Reimbursement Rates Slightly Go up: The General Services Administration has increased mileage reimbursement rates for federal employees who use their own vehicles for federal business. Effective Jan. 1, federal employees will be reimbursed 56.5 cents per mile, a one-penny increase, if they drive their own cars; 24 cents per mile, also a one-penny increase, if they choose to drive their own cars when a government vehicle is available; and 53.5 per mile, an increase by one cent, if they ride a motorcycle.
AFGE Applauds Confirmation of FAA Administrator: AFGE congratulates Michael Huerta on his recent confirmation to lead the Federal Aviation Administration. The 112thCongress confirmed Huerta on Jan. 1, just before the congressional session expired. Huerta has served as FAA’s Acting Administrator since December 2011. During this time, he has successfully managed FAA’s workforce of 47,000 employees during a trying period of budget shortfalls and hiring freezes.
“On behalf of all of the members we represent at AFGE, I congratulate Mr. Huerta for his well-deserved appointment and I look forward to working with him in the months and years ahead to ensure a positive work environment for all of FAA’s employees,” AFGE National President J. David Cox Sr. said.
AFGE’s largest concentration of FAA employees is at the Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center in Oklahoma City, where about 1,400 employees work. AFGE Local 2282 President Greg Brooks, who is co-chair of the FAA Labor-Management Forum, said his Local has developed an open and professional relationship with Huerta that he looks forward to continuing.
“The newly confirmed administrator has proven to us that he is willing to listen to our concerns and will work on outcomes based on solutions, not delusions,” Brooks said.
AFGE also represents about 360 bargaining unit employees at the William J. Hughes Technical Center, which is housed at the Atlantic City International Airport. AFGE Local 200 President Gary Baca said employees there look forward to working with Huerta during the next five years.
“I’ve only been in this position less than six months but, in this short period of time and serving as a charter member on the Labor-Management Forum, I’ve recognized Administrator Huerta’s commitment and dedication to the aviation industry and the people who work for FAA,” Baca said.
Obama Nominates Jack Lew to Be Next Treasury Secretary: President Barack Obama on Thursday nominated White House Chief of Staff Jack Lew to be the next Treasury Secretary succeeding Timothy Geithner. Before becoming Obama’s chief of staff, the budget whiz led the Office of Management and Budget where he was its chief from 1998 to 2001 during the Clinton administration.
Labor Secretary Hilda Solis Announces Resignation: As the Obama administration is beginning its second term, Labor Secretary Hilda Solis is stepping down. Solis didn’t specify her next move, but news reports suggest she might be running for office back in her state of California, possibly the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors.
“After much discussion with family and close friends, I have decided to begin a new future, and return to the people and places I love and that have inspired and shaped my life,” Solis said in a letter to employees.
Thanks to AFGE, Sacramento Board of Supervisors Withdraws Approval for Airport Privatization: AFGE and our TSA Local 1230’s swift actions led to the Sacramento Board of Supervisors rescinding its authorization to allow the Sacramento International Airport to replace TSOs with a for-profit company under TSA’s controversial Screening Partnership Program (SPP). The board last year authorized the airport to apply for participation in SPP, but this week it voted 4-1 not to proceed with the privatization plan that could have opened up fliers to security risks and led to job losses and de-professionalization of airport screening.
AFGE National President J. David Cox Sr. recognizes the four board members who did the right thing for America and Sacramento with their vote. He also recognizes AFGE TSA Local 1230 President James Mudrock for working hard over a long period of time and for skillfully educating the board members on the facts and benefits to the Sacramento community of the continued TSA role.
“We are pleased that the board recognizes the value in a federal workforce at TSA and has revoked its previous approval for privatization,” NP Cox said. “Airport security at Sacramento or any other federal airport is not broken. In fact, it has proven itself 100% successful. That means privatization is all about money. It is being pushed by private contractors seeking to make a profit from national security.”
After Uproar, AIG Won’t Sue Government: AIG decided not to sue the government after all, thanks to public uproar, including a suggestion that its former boss Maurice "Hank" Greenberg should be shot into space. Remember when AIG ran the company into the ground and was about to go bankrupt when the government bailed it out? The insurance giant took the money, paid its executives millions of dollars in bonuses, and until Wednesday was considering suing the government for bailing it out and causing harm to its shareholders. Even though it now decided not to go with the plan, even considering that option is a display of greed at its best.
This Week’s Blog: In Sandy Shows Disaster-Relief Funding Is a Disaster Bloomberg View blogger Evan Soltas argues that FEMA spending should be reclassified as mandatory instead of discretionary:
“One doesn’t have to be from New Jersey or hold rigid fiscal conservative views to see that the way the federal government funds disaster relief is a disaster unto itself. The U.S. can make sure that something like this never happens again. All it needs to do is treat natural disasters as predictable and do what every insurance company does: predict damage in advance and allocate sufficient money to cover the payments.
The federal government currently treats disasters as unanticipated emergencies because it chronically underbudgets the programs that are meant to do the insuring, such as the Federal Emergency Management Agency. After leaving these programs short of money, Congress is forced to provide additional relief funds whenever disaster strikes.”
This Week’s Rant: On the Absurdity of the Debt Ceiling Debate. Lawmakers should serve and protect Americans, not throw them under the bus. But that’s exactly what they are doing. While millions of Americans are still unemployed and the economy is not fully recovered, lawmakers in Washington are engaged in absurd discussions on whether to raise the debt ceiling. It’s a known fact that raising the debt limit is not authorizing new spending but rather allowing the government to pay for things that Congresses have approved and bought. It doesn’t make any sense that some lawmakers would cite ‘fiscal constraints’ and threaten to default on the debts they themselves created – unless the government drastically reduces assistance to seniors, children, the sick, the poor, and the American public. Previous rounds of agency budget cuts have already led to layoffs and hiring freezes, which only worsens unemployment and hurts the economy.
We already breached the debt ceiling on Dec. 31.The Treasury is now doing its magic tricks, including not issuing new securities for federal employees’ Thrift Saving Plan funds to stay below the debt limit. To effectively force Congress to stop using the debt ceiling as a hostage-taking device, the White House has a few options, including citing the 14th Amendment, which says that the debt of the United States will always be paid. Or the government could mint a trillion dollar platinum coin and deposit it at the Fed, which sounds really silly but clearly demonstrates how the government gets its money (like when it created trillions out of thin air to bail out Wall Street).
Considering the fact that the U.S. cannot be forced to default since it is a sovereign country that issues its own currency and has debts in its currency, the debt ceiling ransom in exchange for spending cuts is absurd. In former Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan’s own words: “[A] government cannot become insolvent with respect to obligations in its own currency. A fiat money system, like the ones we have today, can produce such claims without limit.” Greenspan and other leading economists also have argued for the elimination of the debt ceiling. Greenspan on Meet the Press: “Why do we have a debt limit in the first place? We appropriate funds, we have tax law, and on reasonably adept at arithmetic can calculate what the debt change is going to be. The Congress and the president have signed legislation predetermining what that number is. Why we need suspenders and belts is something I've never understood.”
George W. Bush’s first treasury secretary Paul O'Neill agreed. “It is hard to make a rational argument for the debt ceiling as it is now structured. Basically, the debt ceiling gives the Treasury the authority to borrow money to pay debts we already owe. As you know it doesn't authorize new spending.”
This Week’s Tweet: “Fox News joins the @NRCC in not understanding how coins work: http://www.slate.com/blogs/moneybox/2013/01/10/fox_news_coin_ignorance.html … ~ @mattyglesias
This Week in Labor History: Jan. 8, 2003 - The George W. Bush administration declares federal airport security screeners will not be allowed to unionize so as not to "complicate" the war on terrorism. The decision was challenged by AFGE and eventually overturned in 2011.

Quote of the Week
Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas calls for another 1995-style government shutdown:
“What would happen if the debt ceiling isn’t raised is it would be a partial government shutdown. We’ve seen this before, we saw this in 1995, when [we] in the House shut down the government… If we hold strong we can do that again.”

Mega Memory- Your Total Solution in 8 Essential Nutrients

                Mega Memory- Your Total Solution in 8 Essential Nutrients

Mellisa Strom McJunkin, Yahoo! Contributor Network
Dec 14, 2009 "Share your voice on Yahoo! websites. Start Here."

     

            "Of all the things I've lost, it's my mind I miss the most" is a quote that is familiar to some and a reality for many others. Our brains are marvelous miracles to say the least. Over the years scientists have not only been able to examine and study how the brain functions and malfunctions, but also how different drugs and natural nutrients can affect the brain as well. Here we will discuss 8 nutrients in particular that have been rigorously studied and clinically proven to have a positive effect on the brain in terms of improving poor concentration, slow thinking processes and impaired memory function.
            The first nutrient is a wild herb that grows in wet, marshy areas in India, Sri Lanka, Taiwan and other areas, it's called Bacopa Monnieri. Before the written word was readily available, men and women had to rely on the spoken word to learn things. It is said that in ancient times the holy men of India called the Rishi were able to recite pages and pages of hymns and prayers complete from memory. How could they do this? It is believed that beyond the divine inspiration they claimed to have received, their ability to learn and recall information was due to their consumption of the wild herb Bacopa Monnieri.
Since the ancient times, several double blind studies have been done to test the efficacy of Bacopa Monnieri. One study with 48 individuals of an average age of 73.5 were given Bacopa Monnieri for 12 weeks. The study concluded that the Bacopa Monnieri had enhanced their verbal recall ability and their ability to ignore irrelevant information. It also recorded that depression, anxiety and heart rate also decreased with the group receiving the herb. The study conclusion states "This study provides further evidence that B. monnieri has potential for safely enhancing cognitive performance in the aging."
Because stress is bad for your health, especially your brain, Bacopa is an excellent nutrient because it has been proven to help with depression, anxiety and heart rate, which are often common ailments resulting from stress. From learning and memory recall to stress relief, Bacopa is a major player in the field of natural supplements for the mind.
           
        The second nutrient, Phosphatidylserine or PS is a naturally occurring fat found throughout the body but especially in that of a healthy brain. PS has been studied near and far as well. According to an Italian Study that followed 494 elderly subjects over a 6 month period of time, all of the participants suffered from moderate to severe mental decline, as measured by standard tests. Treatment consisted of either 300 mg daily of PS or a placebo. The study showed that the group that took PS did much better in both behavior and mental function than the placebo group. Their symptoms of depression were improved as well.
The third nutrient is Glyceryl Phosphorlcholine, also known as GPC is a special form of choline. Choline helps with the production of neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters do many things, one of which is to boost cognitive performance. Because the levels of choline decrease over time as we age, obviously cognitive ability will decrease as well. GPC is the good form of choline for the body to absorb because it can cross the blood-brain barrier, so it gets to the part of the body that needs it most; the brain.
N-Acetyl L- Tyrosine - NALT is a non essential amino acid that the body also uses as a precursor to the production of neurotransmitters. Due to its role as a precursor to the neurotransmitters norepinephrine and epinephrine (two of the body's main stress-related hormones) tyrosine may also ease the adverse effects of environmental, psychosocial, and physical stress. Because stress has such an adverse reaction for our brains, NALT could provide the necessary strength and relief the brain needs to function more efficiently especially during on going stress related circumstances.
N-Acetyl L -Cysteine - NAC is a known precursor to glutathione. It is known to raise blood levels of glutathione and it may help to preserve lean muscle mass. Gluathione and L-cysteine are essential for T-cell production and helps with immune system function. This is extremely important for the brain because the brain is susceptible to bacteria and viruses.
Of course, I am sure you have heard of Ginko Biloba. It is one of the most popular herbs in the world that has been proven to boost the brains ability to function. Ginko dilates the blood vessels in the brain which increases the blood flow and nutrients to the brain. This function in and of itself helps with alertness and focus.
Vinpocetine is an herb taken from the periwinkle plant, vinca minor. Like Ginko, it dilates the blood vessels and enhances circulation. But unlike other vasodilators, Vincopetine has a special ability to concentrate the flow of blood in the brain only. It is also a powerful antioxidant. Plus, some people who have taken vincopetine have noticed the benefits immediately rather than over a course of time like with other memory benefiting supplements.
The common name for Huperzia Serrata extract is Chinese Club Moss. Its active ingredient is Huperzine A. Huperzine A works by helping inhibit the enzyme that breaks down acetylcholine, an important brain chemical for learning and memory. It has been found that in Alzheimer's disease, the degeneration neurons depend upon the lack of acetylcholine and acetylcholine esterase. This nutrient appears to be an effective one for those with brain disorders such as early stage Alzheimer's because of its ability to inhibit the enzyme that breaks down the acetylcholine esterase.
Lemon Balm sounds sublime but it is actually a very potent nutrient. The chemicals in Lemon Balm have a calming, even sedative effect. This may not sound like a very appealing element to brain health, memory, concentration or focus. But these elements are extremely useful during times of excitability or extreme stress when the brain has a difficult time slowing down enough to focus and concentrate. According to one study the Lemon Balm showed to significantlyincrease calmness and alertness. It also showed a significant increase in the speedof mathematical processing, with no reduction in accuracy.
Lastly, are brain and nervous system targeted Transfer Factors - Transfer Factors are smaller than small messenger molecules that transmit immune knowledge from one entity to another, such as is done when a mother breastfeeds her child. Transfer Factors are non-specie specific, which means they can be collected from other mammals in the form of colostrum or egg yolks.
Targeted Transfer Factors are similar to regular transfer factors except that due to a special patented process that collects the transfer factors from egg yolks, they are able to target specific areas of the body. In this instance they supply the brain and nervous system with the specific knowledge it needs for superior immune system functioning. This one element alone is one of the most technologically advanced nutrients known to man.
Declining brain health in the form of disease, simple memory loss, fogginess and the like is an ever increasing problem for nearly all of us. Some might consider it public enemy number one. I know I do. It can be induced by stress, free radical damage, toxic substance overload, poor diet, lack of exercise, as well as a host of other conditions. Taking care of your brain health is one of the most crucial things you can do for yourself or someone you know that is suffering from a malfunctioning brain. By taking all of the nutrients we have discussed you will be well on your way to increasing the quality of life with a strong healthy mind that works to the peak of perfection. Or close to it anyway.

(NaturalNews) Mammography is a cruel medical hoax. As I have described here on Natural News many times, the primary purpose of mammography is not to 'save' women from cancer, but to recruit women into false positives that scare them into expensive, toxic treatments like chemotherapy, radiation and surgery. The 'dirty little secret' of the cancer industry is that the very same oncologists who scare women into falsely believing they have breast cancer are also the ones pocketing huge profits from selling those women chemotherapy drugs. The conflicts of interest and abandonment of ethics across the cancer industry is breathtaking. Now, a new scientific study has confirmed exactly what I've been warning readers about for years: most women 'diagnosed' with breast cancer via mammography never had a cancer problem to begin with! 93% of 'early detection' has no benefit to the patient That's the conclusion of a groundbreaking new study published in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM). 'We found that the introduction of screening has been associated with about 1.5 million additional women receiving a diagnosis of early stage breast cancer,' writes study co-author Dr. Gilbert Welch. Now, at first, you might think that's a good thing. You might think, 'Well, early detection saves lives, just like we've been told by Komen and the cancer non-profits.' But you'd be wrong. As Dr. Welch's team discovered, there was virtually no reduction in late-stage breast cancer from all this 'early' diagnosis, meaning that most women who were told they had breast cancer after a mammogram were being lied to. As he explains: We found that there were only around 0.1 million fewer women with a diagnosis of late-stage breast cancer. This discrepancy means there was a lot of overdiagnosis: more than a million women who were told they had early stage cancer -- most of whom underwent surgery, chemotherapy or radiation -- for a 'cancer' that was never going to make them sick. Although it's impossible to know which women these are, that's some pretty serious harm. Yep, it is. In fact, if you do the math and calculate 0.1 million fewer women with advanced-stage cancer out of 1.5 million who were diagnosed, 93% of the 'early detection' cancer cases studied were false positives, meaning that they would never have gone on to cause advanced-stage cancer anyway. Chemo, radiation, cancer surgery largely a hoax According to these scientists, 'Breast cancer was overdiagnosed (i.e., tumors were detected on screening that would never have led to clinical symptoms) in 1.3 million U.S. women in the past 30 years.' That's 1.3 million women who were told by their lying oncologists: 'If you don't agree to treatment, you'll be dead in six months' (or two years, or whatever fraudulent scare schedule they use). Under the threat of this fear, most women cave in and agree to start 'treatment' -- often on the very same day they are falsely diagnosed. This so-called 'treatment' consists of a highly toxic injection of deadly chemicals that the oncologist makes a small fortune selling to the very same patients he falsely diagnosed. Yep, that's right: Cancer clinics and oncology treatment centers make huge profits on the chemotherapy drugs they sell to patients -- the very same patients they scared into treatment through a false positive mammogram. Despite the near-total failure of mammography from a scientific point of view, the propaganda push for mammography is downright deafening. As Dr. Welch explains in his New York Times article: ...No other medical test has been as aggressively promoted as mammograms -- efforts that have gone beyond persuasion to guilt and even coercion ('I can't be your doctor if you don't get one'). And proponents have used the most misleading screening statistic there is: survival rates. A recent Komen foundation campaign typifies the approach: In short, tell everyone they have cancer, and survival will [statistically] skyrocket. Komen for the Cure, of course, has been caught blatantly lying about the supposed 'benefits' of mammography. Their statistical deception fools most women, sadly, convincing them to undergo toxic chemotherapy for a 'breast cancer' they never really had. The quackery of modern oncology Once women begin the chemotherapy for a cancer they don't even have, they begin to experience what the quack oncologist calls 'symptoms of cancer.' Their hair falls out. They lose their appetite. Their muscles atrophy. They become weak, mentally confused and chronically fatigued. The cancer doctor then tells the woman, 'You must be strong to pull through this while the medicine is working.' Pure quackery! You could do much better invoking voodoo or even just wishing to be cured. Because everything about the cancer experience in modern medicine -- the diagnosis, the 'treatment,' the medical authority -- is utterly and maliciously fabricated for the purpose of generating cancer industry profits. 'Better' technology leads to more false positives There is no more apparent example of modern-day medical quackery than the cancer industry. Armed with ever-more-precise mammography machines, the rate of false positive diagnoses has shot through the roof. As Dr. Welch writes in the New York Times: Six years ago, a long-term follow-up of a randomized trial showed that about one-quarter of cancers detected by screening were overdiagnosed. And this study reflected mammograms as used in the 1980s. Newer digital mammograms detect a lot more abnormalities, and the estimates of overdiagnosis have risen commensurately: now somewhere between a third and half of screen-detected cancers. Got that? Many cancer diagnoses from mammography are utterly false. But they are a great scare tactic for recruiting women into what can only be called a 'cult of cancer' in which they are manipulated into poisoning themselves with chemicals. They are later called 'cancer survivors' if the poison doesn't manage to kill them. These cancer survivors are, of course, victims of a malicious medical cult that I call 'the Cult of Komen.' In nearly all cases, it wasn't the cancer that nearly killed them... it was the treatment! The cult of Komen Modern day people sneer and snort at the Jim Jones mass suicide cult of 1978, thinking, 'How could those cult members be so stupid to poison themselves to death?' Look around, folks, because the cancer industry has taken the Jim Jones formula and multiplied it by a factor of a million. The 'Cult of Komen' is the modern-day Jim Jones 'suicide cult.' It's a cult where people 'believe' in the promise of salvation through chemical indoctrination, but what's actually delivered to them is rotting death, pain, suffering and humiliation. (Many cancer surgeons operating today literally slice off women's breasts following a false positive cancer diagnosis, maiming her for life.) One of the earmarks of this cult is the worship of self-mutilation. It's not just the women who are manipulated into having their breasts sliced off by surgeons; it's also the women who are manipulated into being injected with deadly poisons that destroy their kidneys, livers and brains. The No. 1 side effect of chemotherapy, by the way, is cancer. Like any cult, the cancer industry cult pushes its delusions with emotionally-charged propaganda and powerful symbols (pink ribbons). Millions of women get innocently swept up into the 'run for the cure,' apparently clueless to the fact that most of that 'cure' money goes to pay for more mammograms that result in more false diagnoses which ensnare yet more women into the same victimization racket. Thus, the very women who participate in raising money for these pink ribbon cult worship-fests are actually paying for the mammogram machines that will recruit more women into the same cult via a quack diagnosis followed by a 'campaign of fear and terror' carried out by oncologists against women. What the cancer industry is doing today is, by any measure, a crime against women. It's also a form of cultural mutilation of women, much like we've seen in Aztec, Mayan and various African cultures throughout history. Is the Cult of Komen a criminal operation? Almost certainly. Is it scientific? Not a chance. There is nothing 'scientific' about the modern-day cancer industry other than the scientific manipulation of women's fears and emotions. What Komen and the cancer industry lacks in ethics, science or facts, it more than makes up for in tactics of linguistic influence, arm-twisting and flat-out lying to the public about the over-hyped benefits of mammography. The cancer industry isn't in the business of curing cancer, after all. But it is in the business of catapulting the propaganda of the delusional cancer cult. As Dr. Welch explains: Screening proponents have also encouraged the public to believe two things that are patently untrue. First, that every woman who has a cancer diagnosed by mammography has had her life saved (consider those 'Mammograms save lives. I'm the proof' T-shirts for breast cancer survivors). The truth is, those survivors are much more likely to have been victims of overdiagnosis. Thus, all those women marching around with pink T-shirts that say, 'Mammograms save lives' are actually declaring themselves to be the unwitting victims of a scientific campaign of targeting women, scaring women into treatment they don't need, then maiming women with toxic chemicals or surgeons' knives. If those pink T-shirts actually told the truth, they should say, 'I survived the cancer industry.' The big question in all this, of course, is: For how long will western civilization continue to live under the spell of the Cult of Komen? How many million women have yet to be sacrificed to the false quackery of mammography and the scam of modern oncology? And more importantly, why do families allows their own mothers, daughters, aunts and grandmothers to be poisoned and maimed right in front of their own eyes, while they all sit back and submit to the false authority of profit-seeking doctors who practice nothing more than pure quackery? Modern oncology represents the Dark Ages of western medicine There will come a day, I have repeatedly predicted, when the modern practice of chemotherapy will be relegated to the history books of bad medicine, alongside sniffing mercury vapors and surgically removing body organs to treat mental disorders. Until that day comes, countless numbers of innocent women will be tricked into being mutilated, chemically poisoned, and blasted with ionizing radiation by cruel doctors who frankly don't care one bit how many women they maim or murder as long as they get reimbursed by Medicare for the procedures. That's the truth about the cancer industry you won't hear from Komen (nor from any of its pink ribbon cult followers). The conclusion from the study authors Despite substantial increases in the number of cases of early-stage breast cancer detected, screening mammography has only marginally reduced the rate at which women present with advanced cancer. Although it is not certain which women have been affected, the imbalance suggests that there is substantial overdiagnosis, accounting for nearly a third of all newly diagnosed breast cancers, and that screening is having, at best, only a small effect on the rate of death from breast cancer.
