Women who take strategic serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressants (http://www.dreddyclinic.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=40&sid=7a2fbe0a7df565838330057730693eb3) during pregnancy are twice as likely to give birth prematurely as women who do not take the drugs, according to a study published in the Archives of Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine and funded by the Danish Medical Research Council.
Many of the most popular depressants are SSRIs, such as Prozac (http://www.dreddyclinic.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=109&t=2491&start=0).
Researchers compared rates of premature birth between different women receiving prenatal care at the same hospital in Aarhus, Denmark. They compared women who were depressed and taking SSRIs with those who were depressed and not on any drugs, as well as those who did not suffer from depression (http://www.dreddyclinic.com/findinformation/dd/depression.htm).
Women who took SSRIs while pregnant were two times as likely to give premature birth as those who did not take the drugs. On average, they gave birth four to five days earlier (relative to their due dates) than women who did not take the drugs. Read more...

Baking soda can clean your teeth, clear your complexion
(NaturalNews) Many components of the modern western diet – meats, fish, dairy products, most grains, sugars, alcohol and caffeinated drinks (in fact, almost everything except vegetables, millet, most fruits and, as we have just seen, apple cider vinegar) – contribute to one's body becoming too acidic. This in turn can open the door to a variety of problems, some of them (including arthritic complaints) potentially serious if this acidic condition persists for many years.
This is because your body will attempt to compensate by retaining alkaline salts in the bloodstream to offset the increase of tissue acidity. Since your body can only tolerate a small imbalance in blood pH (the acid-alkali balance), it will rob alkaline components from other places – including your body's precious alkaline reserves – in an effort to restore proper pH equilibrium. This can result in heartburn, digestive distress, stomach upset, fatigue and a multitude of other symptoms. Simple, inexpensive kitchen baking soda can fix this. Read more...

FDA Knew Problems At Vaccine Plant Were Pervasive
FDA Knew Problems at Vaccine Plant Were Pervasive, Documents Show

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - (KRT) - American regulators knew five years ago that contamination at the now-infamous vaccine plant in Liverpool, England, was both pervasive and persistent, documents show.
In fact, evidence was so overwhelming that regulators should have shut down the plant or sought alternative flu vaccine sources long ago, say some vaccine and pharmaceutical experts who have reviewed the documents.
Instead, the United States has lost 48 million doses of flu vaccine - half its supply - after British regulators found more contamination and suspended the plant's license last month.
Documents obtained by The Kansas City Star show the Food and Drug Administration five years ago noted that the plant, then owned by the British firm Medeva, had failed to correct longstanding problems. But the agency continued to allow the plant to supply the U.S. market despite clear departures from what the agency calls "Good Manufacturing Practices." Read more...
