Poz in Brief

Don't be a casualty of the Uncapped ADSL


They all come in different names, Wireless, Uncapped, and Untapped but do these internet providers really meet our expectation?

Personally I believe 80% of these scrupulous providers should be banned from ripping off unsuspecting individuals. Just like a thief who's ahead of the cop this guys are way ahead on marketing strategies and yes we fall for them 200% often.

Let’s talk about uncapped wireless Adsl...

Did you know apart from this devices being throttled for profit purposes the weather accounts to 70% of their shortfalls? And to add insult to injury there is the hidden cost attached to it...An example every single time you have to relocate you have to pay for the movement and a connection fee? Mmmm they never will tell you this neither will they inform you prior to the move, surprisingly this rogue and rude providers will do anything to make a nickel out of you...

 

Stealing ARV’s

The syndicates operating in KwaZulu-Natal, Gauteng, Eastern Cape and Western Cape, are said to be raiding clinics, mugging Aids patients and attempting to hijack distribution trucks. The government's treatment sites - there are about 4 000 which provide ARV’s to about 700 000 patients - are also being targeted. The drug, called ‘Whoonga or Wunga’, is a concoction of dagga, the Stocrin antiretroviral and several other substances including chemicals found in rat poison. It is used by thousands of addicts who are reportedly paying between R15 and R35 for a dose. Aids activists, city councilors and healthcare workers in the four provinces said there were up to 100 new cases a week of Aids patients being robbed of Stocrin, also known as Efavirenz and Sustiva.

 

Pomegranate juice helps dialysis patients

Pomegranate juice has been praised for years for having many health benefits, and now a new study shows that it could potentially ward off a number of complications in kidney disease patients on dialysis. Pomegranate juice is known to be a good source of antioxidants. The patients, who drank the juice during the course of a study in Israel, showed a reduction in both inflammation and damage caused by free radicals. The findings support previous research that has suggested potent antioxidant properties of pomegranate juice. Scientists say in a new release that other research has shown that patients who drank pomegranate juice, showed an improvement in cardiovascular risk factors such as reduced blood pressure, and fewer cardiovascular events. The findings are significant since many kidney disease patients die from infections or cardiovascular-related causes.

 


 

Belly fat stem cells for heart

Stem cells taken from belly fat may be able to boost cardiac function after a heart attack, preliminary research suggests. In a study conducted on 14 people who had a heart attack, fat-derived stem cells reduced the amount of damaged heart tissue, increased blood flow in the heart, and improved the heart's pumping ability when compared with a placebo. It's not the first time heart attack patients have been treated with stem cells, only that previous studies used bone marrow stem cells. The advantage of fat-derived cells is the ease with which you can get them. You don't get enough stem cells from bone marrow, so you have to culture them in a lab, a process that can take six to eight weeks.

       


 

Household chemicals, puberty and infertility

A growing list of common household chemicals may be linked to reproductive health problems, including early puberty and infertility. The list includes phthalates, the plastic chemical BPA, compounds found in nonstick cookware, flame retardants, the antibacterial agent triclosan, and mercury. Linda C. Giudice, MD, PhD, the chair of obstetrics, gynecology and reproductive sciences at the University of California, San Francisco, says that there is "increasing evidence that these contaminants may be playing a role in reproductive disorders." Some, such as the controversial BPA, are known endocrine disruptors, which means that they look or act like hormones in the body. Even women who live extremely healthily during pregnancy have shown traces of toxins in their blood.
