Public never warned about dangerous device
A young mother in Los Angeles was desperate. A rare form of cancer was ravaging her 5-month-old son. Their doctor said chemotherapy offered the best hope for survival, a 1-in-4 chance. Natalia Campos watched as her baby, Antonio, struggled in pain through the first few treatments. Then she learned of an alternative-therapy clinic that promised a cure, without pain, using a machine called a PAP-IMI. Twice a day at the Bio-Energy Services clinic, Campos held Antonio while the 260-pound machine pulsed powerful electromagnetic waves into the tumor bulging from his neck. The treatments failed, and Antonio died — the victim not only of his cancer, but of what one health official later called a "major national health fraud." The man behind that fraud is Panos Pappas, a math professor from Athens, Greece, who invented the PAP-IMI.
Health district recommends flu shots
The Westport Weston Helath District recommends flu shots for those at high risk of the flu. What is the flu? Influenza is an acute viral infection characterized by the sudden onset of fever, chills, headaches, muscle pains, severe weakness, exhaustion and cough. It is mainly spread through droplets of infectious respiratory secretions or by fine respiratory aerosols produced when an infected person talks, coughs, or sneezes. It may also be spread by hand/face contact after touching surfaces contaminated with infectious respiratory droplets. The incubation period is one to three days. People are contagious from the onset of symptoms through four to five days of illness. The acute symptoms last for about a week, although full recovery may take longer. Why get vaccinated? "Prevention is the best means to help stop the spread of this potentially life-threatening illness.

Breastfed Babies Breathe Better, Except When Mom Has Asthma
When it comes to feeding babies, the old adage "breast is best" certainly holds true, with breastfed babies having less diarrhea and fewer ear infections and incidents of wheezing in early life. However, the positive effects of infant feeding on lung function may not hold true for children of asthmatic mothers.
"Longer breastfeeding in infancy is associated with improved lung function in later childhood, with minimal effects on airflow in children of non-asthmatic mothers," wrote Theresa W. Guilbert, M.D., of the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the Arizona Respiratory Center at the University of Arizona in Tucson. "However, longer breastfeeding in children of mother with asthma demonstrates no improved lung growth and significant decrease in airflows later in life."
The findings were reported in the first issue for November of the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, published by the American Thoracic Society.
Today on the presidential campaign trail
Barack Obama underscores his foreign policy differences with rival Hillary Rodham Clinton ... Clinton garners endorsement from black ministers in South Carolina, singer-actress Barbra Streisand ... Mitt Romney suggests Rudy Giuliani liked Clinton's 1993 health care plan. ___ OBAMA-FOREIGN POLICY Obama calls for renewed approach to diplomacy, underscores his differences with Clinton PORTSMOUTH, N.H. (AP) Democrat Barack Obama, confronting claims that he's light on foreign policy, surrounded himself Tuesday with heavyweights who said his differences with rival Hillary Rodham Clinton and others are just what the country needs: A new leader willing to talk with America's enemies and become a better friend to struggling nations. Obama, closing the three-hour policy forum, said a president should be unafraid to meet with tyrants, and must restore the nation's moral authority by ending torture, closing Guantanamo Bay's military prison and helping fight global poverty and AIDS.
