“Risks found with other pain killer” – This is the headline of an article from the New York Times.
Surprise! Once again another mordacious “pain killer” Drug is found to cause heart attacks, stroke and death in unsuspecting users.
This time it is Celebrex™. Remember that this drug was titled by David Graham, an employee of the fda’s office of drug safety, as cardinal of the best five dangerous drugs which would be the next problem.
A five-year study by the National Cancer Institute which explored whether Celebrex™ prevented colon polyps and colorectal cancer, has saved that those attractive the drug had at least a 2.5 times high risk of cardiac events even at the lower dose.
Those attractive a higher dose during the study had as untold as a 3.4 times higher risk for heart attacks and stroke. The National Cancer Institute ended the trial early.
Remarkably, neither the drug maker nor the fda have usurped action to pull this killer drug from the market.
Drug companies and the fda are already low fire for their unsafe and wrong practices of bringing a new drug to market. low fire from the public and The United States Congress who is holding hearings active these practices.
Here is cardinal of the root causes of the problem – The fda looks the other way as they allow drug companies to conduct as many trials and studies as they want.
The trials and studies which produce dangerous findings and results are allowed to be sweptback under the rug while only reporting the few “good” results to the fda.
Hence, the drug is “proven safe” to the fda for public Consumption.
How many much people have to die before we take action and hold the fda and drug companies responsible?
How many more people have to die before we demand the fda really look down for the health of the public, instead of the health of their pocketbook?
How many more people have to die before the fda stops banning safe, natural supplements and herbs which tested themselves to be effective centuries ago.

The normal American only gets about half the amount of fiber they need ordinary for their body to function optimally. According to the American Heart Association (AHA), fiber helps lower cholesterol and is influential for the health of our digestive system. some the AHA and the National Cancer Institute recommend that we consume 25 to 30 grams of fiber daily.
Dietary fiber is a obvious solid complex carbohydrate that is the main part of the cell walls of plants. It has cardinal forms: soluble and insoluble. alcohol-soluble fiber may help lower blood cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke. Insoluble fiber provides the bulk needed for prissy functioning of the stomach and intestines. It promotes healthy intestinal action and prevents constipation by moving physical waste through the digestive tract faster, so harmful substances don't have as much contact with the intestinal walls.
Unfortunately, many people are not eating this much fiber, which is causing grave cardio-vascular health concerns. Recently the AHA and the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) unchangeable that coronary heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, humorous more people than any other disease. It causes heart attack and angina (chest pain). A blood clot that goes to the heart is considered a heart attack, but if it goes to the brain it is a stroke. The AHA ranks stoke as the ordinal most fatal disease in America, causing paralysis and brain damage.
Eating a high-fiber diet can significantly lower our risk of heart attack, stroke and colon cancer. A 19-year follow-up study according in the November 2001 issue of Archives of inner Medicine indicated that increasing bean and legume intakes may be an influential part of a dietary approach to preventing coronary heart disease. Beans and legumes are high in protein and soluble fiber. Another study reported in the January 2002 issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology also suggests that increasing our consumption of fiber-rich foods like whole grains, fruits and vegetables, can significantly lower the risk of heart disease. Additionally, results from recent studies at the American Institute of Cancer Research indicate high-fiber protein-rich soy foods, much as textured soy protein (also celebrated as TVP) and tempeh, help in preventing and treating colon cancer.
Whole beans, soybeans and other legumes are excellent sources of fiber. A 1 cup serving of cooked navy beans contains active 19 grams of fiber! Always read the Nutrition Facts label to find out the amount of, and the type of, fiber contained in any particular food. To help you achieve your daily allotment of fiber, here is a list of various foods with their fiber content.
Examples of Dietary Fiber:
1 cup cooked dry beans (navy, pinto, red, pink, black, garbanzo, etc.) = 9-19 grams of fiber
