NOTES ON RESCUE

When members of a group whether armed force, tribe, family, company or sport’s team etc. get kidnapped their people usually do everything in their power to rescue them. To set them free….to get them back. To REDEEM them. It’s their responsibility and duty.

It has been documented that people who are kidnapped are often prone to something now called Stockholm syndrome (google it).

This means they eventually start to strongly identify with their kidnappers. Especially the way the kidnappers think and what they believe. They develop a strong attachment and even love of their jailers….a real bond.

Binge drinking raises cancer risk: Smoke The Herb Instead…

Women who drink the equivalent of roughly two bottles of wine over a weekend more than double their risk of breast cancer, say Danish researchers.

A study of 17,647 nurses found twice the risk of breast cancer in women who drank 22-27 drinks a week compared with those who drank one to three drinks.

The risk was greatest when drinks were consumed in a short period, reported the European Journal of Public Health.

Experts said women should try and limit the amount of alcohol they drank.

HIV, HEP-C Contaminated
UK Blood Inquiry Begins
The Guardian Unlimited - UK
Staff and Agencies
4-20-7
An independent public inquiry opened today into how the NHS gave thousands of haemophiliacs blood contaminated with HIV and hepatitis C.
 
The inquiry, led by the Labour peer Lord Archer of Sandwell, will hear evidence from patients who are now terminally ill as a result of what has been described as “the worst treatment disaster in the history of the NHS”.
 
More than 4,800 haemophiliacs in Britain were infected with hepatitis C, and 1,200 of those also contracted HIV after being given contaminated blood products in the 1980s and early 1990s, and many more are terminally ill.
 
More than 1,700 patients have since died, although around 380 haemophiliacs and 20 other patients given contaminated transfusions during surgery are still alive.
 
The inquiry’s remit is to investigate the circumstances surrounding the supply of contaminated blood products, examine its impact on haemophilia patients, and to recommend steps to help those affected and relatives of those who have already died.
 
………………………………………………………………………………………………..
 
One of the “most shocking” documents was a letter from the head of Britain’s public health surveillance centre warning the Department of Health that some Factor 8 supplies could be contaminated with HIV. Despite this, Factor 8 imports continued to be used.
 
Some haemophiliacs also told the programme that they were convinced they were used as medical guinea pigs without their knowledge or consent.
 
In some cases, even when those tests showed they were HIV positive, the patients themselves were not told for several years.

Cannabis compound slows lung cancer in mice
By
Roxanne Khamsi

The active compound in marijuana, THC, can slow the growth of lung tumours and reduce the spread of the cancer in mice, a preliminary study reveals.

Human lung cancer tumours grew less than half as fast in mice that received moderate doses of the compound, the researchers reveal. They hope that drugs mimicking the apparent anti-cancer effects of tetrahydrocanabinol (THC) could one day help treat patients. The team strongly discourage people from self-medicating by smoking marijuana, noting that doing so could potentially encourage tumour growth.

The Sun

Anya-anwu na agbala

Eze-enu, Okasi akasi

Ama-ama-amasi-amasi

Okike

That is to hail him by his true names being:

the light and the spirit,

the king of the heavens, the Almighty

the omniscience and omnipotent

creator.

African traditional cosmogony recognizes the potency of the Sun, as the creator force that is seen in the material form.

Just like its earlier expression in Egypt, the Sun is the symbol of life and the God. In Khemit, the Sun was know by various names notably Ra. Voodoo as is found in modern Africa venerates the Sun by several praise names some of which are listed above.

Respect For The Ganja Planters

My Lords and my Ladies, I wish to devote this section to certain matters touching on the rights of the people to health and security.

It is weird to remember that today we live in a society where tobacco companies are legal and respectable entites, while the ganja planter is a hated and demonized felon.

It is an irony a sad spectacle, but we shall disect it in the following paragraphs.

UNITED States President George Bush has approved the formation of a U.S. army to permanently operate in Africa, a move viewed by many as part of a wide plan to increase American hegemony on Africa.

The army called the U.S. African Command, was approved by Mr Bush on February 2, 2007 and US$50 million was last week injected in the project that should see the army being fully operational by 2008.

Against A Pernicious And Racist Agenda - Part 2

African Disease?:

As earlier mentioned, Aids was known as a syndrome associated with gays in San Francisco area in the early 1980s.  Later it was identified among the hemophiliac community who were prone to frequent blood transfusion.  Finally, an attempt was made to link it with Haitians hence the three H slogan of the early 1980s Aids campaign.

This link with an identifiable ethnic group in North America quickly elicited spirited response and challenges to the unwarranted assumption.   As quickly as this notion was formed, it was suppressed.
