Why you need cholesterol
(This article comes from Dr. Mercola, www.mercola.com.) In the United States, the idea that cholesterol is evil is very much ingrained in most people’s minds. But this is a very harmful myth that needs to be put to rest right now. Cholesterol is a soft, waxy substance found not only in your bloodstream but also in every cell in your body, where it helps to produce cell membranes, hormones, vitamin D and bile acids that help you to digest fat. Cholesterol also helps in the formation of memories and is vital for your neurological function.
Swine flu vaccine: a dirty little secret
Currently there have been 45 deaths attributable to the Swine Flu. But the latest headlines from the administration say that up to 90,000 could die. However, Peter Gross, chief medical officer at Hackensack University Medical Center in New Jersey, said the predictions seem “overblown,” given that swine-flu outbreaks in 1968 and 1957 failed to cause as many deaths, even with medical technology and disease surveillance less advanced than today. Interestingly, Mike Shaw, associate director of the CDC, has stated that anyone born before 1957 likely has a natural immunity due to previous swine flu versions that circulated from 1918 into the 1950’s. This is good news indeed.
Dr. Mike is the 2009 U.S. National Champion!
(June 30, 2009) Here's the official press release from USA Cycling about the National Road Race in Louisville, KY.
The 35-39 master men’s race got things off to an exciting start on the final day of road racing in Louisville’s Cherokee Park with an early race break that held for the first five of 12 laps. The stacked young field including two-time, reigning national champion Paul Martin (North Royalton, Ohio/Texas Roadhouse), however reeled back the solo break, after a untimely mechanical. It was then that Martin saw an opportunity to make his move. Recognizing Martin’s strength however the field would not let him get away. Through a fast and furious last few laps it was Michael Onkels (Glendale, Calif./Sho-air-Sonace) who was able to put some distance between him and the pack. After racing for 22-years, the 39-year old secured his first national title, soloing to the gold 42 seconds ahead of the main group. “I tried to make up time on the hills and by not braking in the corners,” said Onkels who was 15th in the road race here last year. “When we got close to the finish I just drilled it. It was perfect for me – that’s the way I like to win.”
