Health News Tuesday!

Senate's "Compromise" Bill in Response to Public Health Care
The government-run health care is facing serious opposition in the Senate, and a new option has been proposed. Ben and I predict none of it will pass in the end. :)

New Nano Technology Could Detect Cancer with Simple Blood Test
Very interesting, safer technology could be the answer to early cancer detection.

New York Senators Introduce Ban on BPA
Something that will help our children greatly! It's been banned in Canada and other countries already, and hopefully the U.S. is now following suit.

Children on Medicaid More Likely to Be Drugged
Scary statistics and how often and why children from low-income families are likely to be given anti-psychotics and other drugs.

Milk Thistle Cuts Liver Toxicity from Chemotherapy
Yet MORE evidence that alternative medicine works and is practical.

Tamiflu Approved Through Scientific Fraud
Tamiflu, which is derived from star anise (a natural medicine) was approved through the use of fraud in its clinical trials.
