The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing the availability of a draft guidance entitled "Guidance for Industry: Evidence-Based Review System for the Scientific Evaluation of Health Claims." This draft guidance updates the agency's approach to the review of the publicly available scientific evidence for significant scientific agreement (SSA) and qualified health claims. FDA is taking this action to inform interested persons of the system in intends to use to review the scientific evidence in the evaluation of SSA and qualified health claims.

Evaluation of echinacea for the prevention and treatment of the common cold: a meta-analysis.: Lancet Infect Dis. 2007 Jul; 7(7): 473-80 Shah SA, Sander S, White CM, Rinaldi M, Coleman CI
Echinacea is one of the most commonly used herbal products, but controversy exists about its benefit in the prevention and treatment of the common cold. Thus, we did a meta-analysis evaluating the effect of echinacea on the incidence and duration of the common cold. 14 unique studies were included in the meta-analysis. Incidence of the common cold was reported as an odds ratio (OR) with 95% CI, and duration of the common cold was reported as the weighted mean difference (WMD) with 95% CI. Weighted averages and mean differences were calculated by a random-effects model (DerSimonian-Laird methodology). Heterogeneity was assessed by the Q statistic and review of L'Abbé plots, and publication bias was assessed through the Egger weighted regression statistic and visual inspection of funnel plots. Echinacea decreased the odds of developing the common cold by 58% (OR 0.42; 95% CI 0.25-0.71; Q statistic p<0.001) and the duration of a cold by 1.4 days (WMD -1.44, -2.24 to -0.64; p=0.01). Similarly, significant reductions were maintained in subgroup analyses limited to Echinaguard/Echinacin use, concomitant supplement use, method of cold exposure, Jadad scores less than 3, or use of a fixed-effects model. Published evidence supports echinacea's benefit in decreasing the incidence and duration of the common cold.

Researchers discover that skeleton is actually an endocrine organ. Daniel Cressey
The traditional view of the skeleton as an inert frame is challenged by a new study showing that it also plays an important part in the body's hormonal system. Cells in the bone produce a hormone that influences blood sugar levels and fat deposition.
The study could in time lead to new approaches to the treatment of diabetes, and is being heralded by others in the field as a landmark. The findings went beyond what the researchers had expected when they first looked into the subject.

Is the Cause of Cancer a Common Fungus?
According to this hypothesis based on years of scientific and clinical research, the cause of cancer is infection by a common fungus, Candida albicans. The good news is that it can be treated with a powerful antifungal agent that can't be patented.

Bicarbonate and bicarbonate/lactate peritoneal dialysis solutions
for the treatment of infusion pain

Sodium Bicarbonate Injection, USP is indicated in the treatment of metabolic acidosis which may occur in severe renal disease, uncontrolled diabetes, circulatory insufficiency due to shock or severe dehydration, extracorporeal circulation of blood, cardiac arrest and severe primary lactic acidosis. Sodium bicarbonate is further indicated in the treatment of certain drug intoxications, including barbiturates (where dissociation of the barbiturateprotein complex is desired), in poisoning by salicylates or methyl alcohol and in hemolytic reactions requiring alkalinization of the urine to diminish nephrotoxicity of blood pigments. Sodium bicarbonate also is indicated in severe diarrhea which is often accompanied by a significant loss of bicarbonate.
Treatment of metabolic acidosis should, if possible, be superimposed on measures designed to control the basic cause of the acidosis - e.g. insulin in uncomplicated diabetes, blood volume restoration in shock. But since an appreciable time interval may elapse before all of the ancillary effects are brought about, bicarbonate therapy is indicated to minimize risks inherent to the acidosis itself.
Vigorous bicarbonate therapy is required in any form of metabolic acidosis where a rapid increase in plasma total CO2 content is crucial † e.g. cardiac arrest, circulatory insufficiency due to shock or severe dehydration , and in severe primary lactic acidosis or severe diabetic acidosis.

Bechamp's Cellular Theory
Antoine Bechamp, a very intelligent French medical doctor made completely other conclusions. The difference is that his conclusions were based on verifiable studies. To summarize, Bechamp states that germs do not cause disease, they are the result of disease. This must sound quite awkward when you read it the first time. Bechamp states that the "germs" are pleomorphic. ..
The answer is in our diet. To get an idea of what a life blood analysis of a cancer patient shows, check the second picture on: Blood under microscope (browse down 50% of the article).
Paradoxically, the blood gets alkalic when you eat too many acid-forming foods. When you eat refined grains, sugars and cooked meats your blood turns acidic. The body tries to get rid of the acidity by excreting it (H+ ions) in the urine. Because the Western Diet contains so many acid-forming foods, the body can't excrete all acidity and it stores it in the body tissue, so that it can be excreted later when the capacity is there. In return, the tissue gives back an alkalic element to the blood, hence the blood turns more alkalic. ...
The most acid-forming foods are:
Alcohol, Coffee, Tea, all Soft drinks, pasturized milk
All grains, flours, cornstarch, pasta
All sugars
Cooked eggs, cooked meats and cooked fish
Beans, brussels sprouts, chickpeas, legumes, lentils
What do all these foods have in common: They are all refined or processed (cooked) foods or can't be eaten raw!

Stop Codex: Protect Your Health Freedom
THE UNITED STATES OF GLOBALIZED CORPORATE AMERICA
This time, the game is to make sure that you cannot learn what supplements are right for you, in what dose and for what conditions. The FDA's newest game, the "Evidence-Based Review System for the Scientific Evaluation of Health Claims", Docket 2007D-0125, http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/hclmgui5.html, is designed to raise the bar so high on information about what supplements can do, their health benefits, that, as the guidance says, small and medium sized supplement companies will be driven out of business. That is the intent. The big companies remain, for a while. The small, innovative, personally owned companies are burdened and blanked out of business.
This strategy violates US legislation AND US Supreme Court decisions (case law). In the public comment we are urging you to send to the FDA (hyper link to http://www.democracyinaction.org/dia/organizationsORG/healthfreedomusa/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=12189) those violations are spelled out. Briefly, the 1994 Dietary Supplements Health and Education Act, DSHEA, says that supplements are foods and foods are generally regarded as safe. Dangerous supplements can be removed from the market. All others are to be left alone.
The Supreme Court said that the FDA MAY NOT control information to keep people from doing what they want to and what the FDA does not want them to - in this case, know about supplements and buy them.
You may recall that in my lecture "Nutricide" I defined Nutricide as:
1. The death of a body of knowledge about the health benefits of food and
2. The death of large numbers of people through manipulation of the food supply.
This Guidance is Definition No. 1, pure and simple. Codex and the hundreds of thousands of iatrogenic (doctor-caused) deaths through permitting known killer-drugs on the market is Definition No. 2, also pure and simple.
