Certain lifestyle factors such as smoking, obesity, lack of exercise, and consumption of unhealthy diet can increase the pace of telomere shortening, leading to illness and/or premature death. Accelerated telomere shortening is associated with early onset of many age-associated health problems, including coronary heart disease [27,28,29], heart failure [30], diabetes [31], increased cancer risk [32,33],and osteoporosis [34]. The individuals whose leukocyte telomeres are shorter than the corresponding average telomere length have three-fold higher risk to develop myocardial infarction [13]. Evaluation of telomere length in elders shows that the individuals with shorter telomeres have a much higher rate of mortality than those with longer telomeres [10]. Excessive or accelerated telomere shortening can affect health and lifespan at multiple levels. – Masood A. Shammas Harvard (Dana Farber) Cancer Institute, Boston,Massachusetts

Burzynski documentary reveals true agenda of FDA and cancer industry to destroy cancer cures that really work
Burzynski, the Movie is the story of a medical doctor and Ph.D biochemist named Dr. Stanislaw Burzynski who won the largest, and possibly the most convoluted and intriguing legal battle against the FDA in American history.
(Source: NaturalNews) The cancer industry, with all of its research, campaigns, and fundraising activities is really nothing more than a giant, corrupt business venture. As crazy as it might sound to some, the point of the cancer industry is not really to cure cancer — it is to keep raising money for the alleged, and never-ending, “search for the cure.” And the hard-hitting documentary Burzynski The Movie – Cancer Is Serious Business exposes all this as director Eric Mercola tracks the 14-year battle of Dr. Stanislaw Burzynski — the man responsible for creating the all-natural, non-toxic cancer cure featured in the film — to protect his unique protocol from being stolen by the government and Big Pharma, and to defend his freedom to treat cancer patients with unconventional methods.
The complete, full-length documentary is available now at NaturalNews.TV:

Ever notice how people texting at night have that eerie blue glow?
Or wake up ready to write down the Next Great Idea, and get blinded by your computer screen?
During the day, computer screens look good—they’re designed to look like the sun. But, at 9PM, 10PM, or 3AM, you probably shouldn’t be looking at the sun.
f.lux
F.lux fixes this: it makes the color of your computer’s display adapt to the time of day, warm at night and like sunlight during the day.
It’s even possible that you’re staying up too late because of your computer. You could use f.lux because it makes you sleep better, or you could just use it just because it makes your computer look better.
f.lux makes your computer screen look like the room you’re in, all the time. When the sun sets, it makes your computer look like your indoor lights. In the morning, it makes things look like sunlight again.
Tell f.lux what kind of lighting you have, and where you live. Then forget about it. F.lux will do the rest, automatically.

Most people are at least cursorily familiar with the concept of the circadian rhythm. For those who aren’t, the circadian rhythm refers to our internal, approximately 24-hour cycle of biochemical, physiological, and behavioral processes. Every living thing, from fungus to bacteria to plant to animal, has a circadian rhythm. External cues called zeitgebers (what a great word, huh?) help synchronize or alter our rhythms; they include temperature, nutrition, meal timing, social interactions pharmacological interventions (medicines, drugs), and, most prominently, the light/dark cycle of the earth.
Yes, light, or the lack thereof, plays an enormous role in the regulation of our cycles, especially our sleep cycle. For millions of years, light was an objective, exogenous measure by which organisms established behavioral patterns, hormonal fluctuations, and sleep cycles. Depending on the seasons, the position of the global axes, and the weather, you could pretty much count on light, bright days and deep, dark nights. Nocturnal hunters and scavengers took the lack of light to mean “eatin’ time,” while other animals (including humans) sought shelter and slumber when night fell. Daylight meant activity and safety (since we could, you know, see everything). Fire, then, wasn’t just about cooking and providing warmth; it also allowed humans a small sliver of daylight’s safety and security at night.
Before I go on, I need to make something clear. My regular readers will have already grasped this concept, but I think it’s a good idea to reiterate it. Though it’s tempting to place us humans on another plane of existence, apart from the mindless flora and fauna that share this world, we are animals. Sure, we’re smarter and more complex than the others, but we’re still subject to these exogenous zeitgebers worming their influential fingers into our subconscious and fiddling with our circadian rhythms. Our tendency to get sleepy when night falls isn’t a cultural relic; we didn’t consciously decide to start sleeping at night because it was too dangerous to be out in the dark. The culture of standard bedtimes arose organically, if you can even call it culture. Does the chirping of birds in the morning reflect cultural tendencies? Is “the early bird gets the worm” a standard axiom in avian academia? No – the early bird’s evolutionary niche decrees that it wake up bright and early in order to get food. It’s basic natural selection, and humans are the same way. We don’t decide to get up early. We get up early because of a complex pattern of environmental cues telling us to get up. Throughout our evolutionary development, handling business during the daytime was simply how we survived. We can’t escape nature.
But boy do we try.
The zeitgeber (can’t get enough of that word) with the biggest impact on our sleep cycle is light. Period. And it’s not just natural light that affects our sleep cycle, but also unnatural, manmade lights. That’s kinda how we operate, actually, as instinctual beings who often misinterpret “unnatural” because, well, our physiology isn’t exactly intelligent. It’s not sentient. It’s purely reactive. Blue light from a 10:00 AM sky, blue light from your computer screen at midnight – it makes no difference to our circadian rhythms. It’s all the same to our bodies, because for millions of years blue light meant daylight, not a late night blog comment section or reruns of The Daily Show. And it’s the blue light specifically that appears to monitor our sleep patterns the most.
Like insulin and inflammation, blue light is integral to our health – in the correct amounts. When we’re exposed to levels of anything in excess (or too little) of what we would have experienced for the bulk of our evolutionary history, problems arise. Blue light regulates our secretion of melatonin, the sleep hormone. Exposed to blue light, we limit the production of melatonin, and we stay alert and awake; in the absence of blue light, melatonin production ramps up, and we get sleepy. This system worked quite well for a long time. Reddish light from fire (our formerly primary source of nighttime illumination) has little to no effect on melatonin production, so sleep wasn’t disrupted when we relied on fire. These days, though, we’re subject to a steady barrage of blue light. During the day, blue light (natural or unnatural) isn’t much of a problem because we’re supposed to be awake, but at night, when we’re “supposed” to be getting ready to sleep, we tend to sit in front of blue light-emanating appliances, and our sleep suffers for it.
(An interesting note on how we respond to blue light. For years, scientists assumed circadian rhythm was set by sight (of light) alone. Person sees sky/LCD screen and the same visual system that allows colored vision determines the hormonal, behavioral, or other physical reactions to the light. It makes sense, but that’s not how it works. It turns out that there exists a second, more dominant system responsible for setting circadian rhythm based on light input. If a person’s sleep cycle depended purely on traditional color vision, we’d expect the blind to universally suffer from disrupted sleep. They do not, however, and this is explained by optical cells that express a photopigment called melanopsin. Unlike the standard rod and cone opsins, melanopsin doesn’t help us see. Instead, it reacts most strongly to blue light, and scientists think it’s the primary regulator of the biological clock and production of melatonin. In otherwise blind patients with intact melanopsin systems, blue light has a strong effect on their sleep cycles.)
Blue light has its place, of course. A British study found that blue light-enhanced white lights in the workplace improved alertness, performance, and even nighttime sleep quality in employees. That’s during the day, though, when blue light exposure is normal and expected. Nighttime exposure to blue light disrupts our sleep hormones. Television, computer screens, even digital clocks with blue numbers – they’re all common sources of late night blue light that can affect our production of melatonin.
Is blue light the only issue? It certainly appears to be the primary driver of circadian rhythm, but it’s not the only one. In a recent study, researchers found that while monochromatic blue light suppressed melatonin production via melanopsin stimulation, polychromatic white light (which includes blue light) stimulated melanopsin equally while suppressing melatonin to an even greater degree. Clearly, it’s not just blue light’s effect on melanopsin affecting our sleep cycles.
Still, blue light is the low-hanging fruit, and there are some simple steps you can take to mitigate its late-night effect on your sleep.
- Keep electronics usage to a minimum or completely eliminate blue light (alarms, TVs, laptops) after dark.
- Go to sleep earlier.
- Use candlelight (read how a fellow MDA reader gave this a try for 30-days).
- Keep your room as dark as possible and your sleeping quarters pitch black.
- Install F.lux (totally free) on your computer to cut down on blue light emissions.
- If you want to try a somewhat extreme experiment you could even wear orange safety glasses at night.

[Glenn's comment: Make sure you understand the implications of the last paragraph]

Report on the environment, security and foreign policy (14 Feb 1999)
HAARP – a weapons system which disrupts the climate
On 5 February 1998 Parliament’s Subcommittee on Security and Disarmament held a hearing the subject of which included HAARP. NATO and the US had been invited to send representatives, but chose not to do so. The Committee regrets the failure of the USA to send a representative to answer questions, or to use the opportunity to comment on the material submitted.(21)
HAARP (High Frequency Active Auroral Research Project) is run jointly by the US Air Force and Navy, in conjunction with the Geophysical Institute of the University of Alaska, Fairbanks. Similar experiments are also being conducted in Norway, probably in the Antarctic, as well as in the former Soviet Union.(22) HAARP is a research project using a ground based apparatus, an array of antennae each powered by its own transmitter, to heat up portions of ionosphere with powerful radio beams.(23) The energy generated heats up parts of the ionosphere; this results in holes in the ionosphere and produces artificial ‘lenses’.
HAARP can be used for many purposes. Enormous quantities of energy can be controlled by manipulating the electrical characteristics of the atmosphere. If used as a military weapon this can have a devastating impact on an enemy. HAARP can deliver millions of times more energy to a given area than any other conventional transmitter. The energy can also be aimed at a moving target which should constitute a potential anti-missile system.
The project would also allow better communications with submarines and manipulation of global weather patterns, but it is also possible to do the reverse, to disrupt communications. By manipulating the ionosphere one could block global communications while transmitting one’s own. Another application is earth-penetrating, tomography, x-raying the earth several kilometres deep, to detect oil and gas fields, or underground military facilities. Over-the-horizon radar is another application, looking round the curvature of the earth for in-coming objects.
From the 1950s the USA conducted explosions of nuclear material in the Van Allen Belts(24) to investigate the effect of the electro-magnetic pulse generated by nuclear weapon explosions at these heights on radio communications and the operation of radar. This created new magnetic radiation belts which covered nearly the whole earth. The electrons travelled along magnetic lines of force and created an artificial Aurora Borealis above the North Pole. These military tests are liable to disrupt the Van Allen belt for a long period. The earth’s magnetic field could be disrupted over large areas, which would obstruct radio communications. According to US scientists it could take hundreds of years for the Van Allen belt to return to normal. HAARP could result in changes in weather patterns. It could also influence whole ecosystems, especially in the sensitive Antarctic regions.
Another damaging consequence of HAARP is the occurrence of holes in the ionosphere caused by the powerful radio beams. The ionosphere protects us from incoming cosmic radiation. The hope is that the holes will fill again, but our experience of change in the ozone layer points in the other direction. This means substantial holes in the ionosphere that protects us.
With its far-reaching impact on the environment HAARP is a matter of global concern and we have to ask whether its advantages really outweigh the risks. The environmental impact and the ethical aspect must be closely examined before any further research and testing takes place. HAARP is a project of which the public is almost completely unaware, and this needs to be remedied.
HAARP has links with 50 years of intensive space research for military purposes, including the Star Wars project, to control the upper atmosphere and communications. This kind of research has to be regarded as a serious threat to the environment, with an incalculable impact on human life. Even now nobody knows what impact HAARP may have. We have to beat down the wall of secrecy around military research, and set up the right to openness and democratic scrutiny of military research projects, and parliamentary control.
A series of international treaties and conventions (the Convention on the prohibition of military or any other hostile use of environmental modification techniques, the Antarctic Treaty, the Treaty on principles governing the activities of states in the exploration and use of outer space including the moon and other celestial bodies, and the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea) casts considerable doubt on HAARP on legal as well as humanitarian and political grounds. The Antarctic Treaty lays down that the Antarctic may be used exclusively for peaceful purposes.(25) This would mean that HAARP is a breach of international law. All the implications of the new weapons systems should be examined by independent international bodies. Further international agreements should be sought to protect the environment from unnecessary destruction in war.

These microscopic arachnids are ubiquitous and so numerous that, try as you might, they’re impossible to avoid.
House dust mites (Dermatophagoide) are everywhere, feeding off our skin
TONIGHT, AS YOU SINK wearily into bed, you won’t be alone – even if you’re the only person in the room.
Under your slumbering head, the pillow will teem with potentially thousands of unseen bedmates, feasting on your fallen skin flakes.
The good news is they don’t bite. The bad news is they’ll be procreating, defecating, dying and decomposing in your bedding, couches, carpets and clothes. Essentially, we all spend a good deal of time wallowing in dust-mite filth.
The humble dust mite - the species Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus is most common in Australia - is an arachnid, a relative of spiders and ticks. It’s less than half a millimetre long but what it lacks in size, it makes up for in abundance. The detritus in our old pillows is made up mostly of sloughed skin, but the microscopic dust mites, alive and dead, are also there in their thousands, along with mite dung.
CSIRO entomology researcher Dr Matthew Colloff, author of the book Dust Mites, puts the numbers of dead dust mites (only about 5 per cent are alive) in an average bed at between 100,000 and more than 1 million, depending on conditions. “If you’re above 500 mites per gram of dust, which contains skin scales, organic debris, mould, ash, crumbs and all sorts of things, you’re getting into pretty high mite numbers,” explains Matthew. “The highest ever recorded [level] was about 12,000 per gram. Now, if you make a circle with your thumb and index finger, a gram of dust would fit in there, so imagine 12,000 mites in that kind of space.”
The fact that our skin scales are their main food source means generally, wherever we are, they are, says Dr Peter Dingle, associate professor in health and the environment at Murdoch University’s School of Environmental Science. “We shed literally millions of skin cells every day but they have to be dehydrated and de-fatted by mould,” he explains. “The mites wait for the mould to attack and then they feed on both.”

Bed Bugs
Most organisations can’t take old and used mattresses due to health reasons which is completely understandable given the amount of dust, bedbugs and bacteria an old mattress can harbor.

Flame Retardants
One issue with mattresses is the use of chemical flame retardants, these can prove to be toxic not only to humans but when dumped in landfill.
The chemicals can leach from the mattress and contaminate the wider environment through seepage into groundwater.
Choosing a New Mattress
When shopping for a new mattress, give some thought to what you’re going to do when the new one wears out.
One of the best ways to do this is to avoid mattresses with springs but for an even more environmentally friendly choice, look for mattresses made from materials such as certified wood frames, natural latex cores, wool, bamboo, hemp and organic cotton.
If you have your heart set on a spring mattress, try to locate one that uses recycled steel for the springs.
The use of components such as wool also removes the need for chemical fire retardants to be used.
If your budget isn’t too tight, consider spending a little more on a mattress than you usually would… We spend up to a third of our lives lying on a mattress so you may as well be comfortable!
While environmentally friendly mattresses tend to cost a little more, the added benefit is they can last far longer… A good quality core mattress can last for decades.
Using Silver in Mattresses and Bedding
It is best to purchase a mattress and bedding that uses silver thread or silver zeolite.
Silver has been medically proven to kill bacteria and dust mites and some viruses.

CBS Atlanta Undercover Investigation Reveals No Oversight of Used Mattress Industry
By Jeff Chirico, CBS Atlanta Investigative Reporter
POSTED: 10:36 pm EDT May 16, 2011
UPDATED: 10:33 am EDT May 17, 2011
An exclusive CBS Atlanta undercover investigation found mattresses sold as new were filled with stained, moldy and smelly mattress parts.
CBS Atlanta sent two undercover employees posing as customers into Mattress 4 Sale in Forest Park. The undercover team asked the store manager, Anna Thomas, if the beds were new. Thomas said, “They’re new. Yes, ma’am. We manufacture them ourselves.”
After purchasing two mattresses for $233, CBS Atlanta took them to Champion Cleaning Systems — a professional cleaning company in Sharpsburg.
Certified, master cleaner Jeremy Reets cut the pristine covers off the mattresses revealing dirty, smelly and stained materials underneath. Reets conducted a test revealing one mattress had mold in it.
Reets said he is disgusted by what he found. “If I saw that on the street I wouldn’t touch it much less sleep on it,” said Reets. He said he believes there are unhealthy amounts of bacteria in the mattresses.
Garey Clark of Clark Pest Control couldn’t find evidence of live or dead bed bugs but said it is very possible for bed bugs to be transferred through the use of used mattress materials.
Thomas defended her claim that the mattresses were new. “I tell [customers] they’re new because that’s the best of my knowledge. I’m not going to say they’re refurbished if I don’t know that they are,” said Thomas.
But outside the factory that supplies Mattress 4 Sale stores, CBS Atlanta found piles of used mattresses.
Owner Kamal Shelbayah told CBS Atlanta reporter Jeff Chirico that he reuses old parts to make mattresses he calls “rebuilts.”
Georgia law allows the reuse and resale of mattress parts. Bill Cloud, spokesman for the Governor’s Office of Consumer Protection, said state laws regulating the used mattress industry were repealed in 1996. Part of the repealed laws required mattress manufacturers to sanitize used parts before reusing them.
“As a legislator, I’m appalled at that,” said State Representative Ralph Long III who represents the district in Southwest Atlanta where the mattress factory is located
“People deserve to know what’s inside their mattresses. This is unacceptable,” said Long.
CBS Atlanta’s findings prompted Long to call a meeting with Shelbayah.
“I’m embarrassed to have this in my district,” said Long to Shelbayah. “I saw something I do not want my children sleeping on.”
Shelbayah defended his business. “I don’t sell new mattresses. I sell rebuilt mattress. I manufacture rebuilt mattresses,” said Shelbayah during the meeting. Shelbayah said he is helping those who can’t afford expensive new mattresses by offering rebuilt mattresses at a cheaper price.
While giving CBS Atlanta a tour of his facility, Shelbayah explained how he uses old parts and new material to create rebuilt beds. He said the old parts are sanitized before they’re used.
Shelbayah denied that he or his salespeople are trying to pass the mattresses off as new.
However, the mattresses CBS Atlanta purchased do not have the federally-required tags indicating the beds contain used materials.
Rep. Long said he will introduce legislation to regulate the industry.
