Calcium ions may play key role in MS
Calcium ions may play key role in MS : Science Technology:
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind., June 27 U.S. medical researchers have determined calcium ions might play a key role in multiple sclerosis by activating enzymes that degrade myelin sheaths.
Purdue University Assistant Professor Ji-Xin Cheng said learning exactly how the myelin sheath -- the fatty substance that insulates nerve fibers -- is degraded might lead to new treatments.
Purdue researchers focused on how myelin sheaths are degraded by a molecule called lysophosphatidylcholine, known as LPC. Although LPC doesn't cause multiple sclerosis, it's used extensively in research to study the deterioration of myelin, which insulates nerve fibers and enables them to properly conduct impulses in the spinal cord, brain and the body's peripheral nervous system.

Slim and Sexy forever
"Suzanne Somers' Slim and Sexy Forever: The Hormone Solution for Permanent Weight Loss and Optimal Living" (Suzanne Somers)
The most important message in this book will be found in the introduction by Mrs. Somers and her physician David Allen, MD. That message refutes a common mistruth still taught to medical students every day.
Now (after finding it impossible to control her weight doing all the things in her early books that previously worked for her), Mrs. Somers has found that without proper hormone balance it becomes impossible to feel energetic and control weight consistenly within a healthy range. So, the first chapter of this book explains modern strategies of hormone replacement. Then the remainder of the book explains diet and exercise.
The tragedy (and the mistruth): Physicians are taught that only about 1% of people with obesity have abnormal hormones as part of the reason for thier obesity. When looking at adults over the age of 40, I find a much higher percentage of people with one or more hormone abnormalaties (all discussed in this book): growth hormone, thyroid (T3 or T4), testosterone, estradiol, progesterone, DHEA, or cortisol.

Buh Bye Libby
The downfall of Lewis "Scooter" Libby, one of the leading figures in the Bush administration, was complete today.Guardian UK
The man who had swaggered around the White House as chief of staff to the vice-president, Dick Cheney, was today subdued as he listened to the verdict in Courtroom 17 of the US district court, on Constitution Avenue, within walking distance of his former office.
Libby had appeared confident when he appeared in court to hear the verdict. But as he was found guilty on the first of five charges he blinked and appeared surprised. As each verdict was announced, the blinking became more pronounced.
