Breaking News 3Marilyn Vine would like to start Breaking News 3 with information on:
More information on the benefits of vitamin D with regard to asthma. Read an article about five women from various walks of life and countries to see the results of research done on their levels of toxins and what their individual bodies were found to contain. Breaking News 3 is now going to cover proposed US Legislation. It always gives Marilyn Vine a cause for concern when she reads proposed US Legislation as Marilyn knows that Australia generally follows a similar pattern. Proposed US Health LegislationThe Mothers Act Marilyn Vine asks prospective parent to stop and take the time to read the four articles by Evelyn Pringle on this proposed legislation. Marilyn finds the information contained in the Mothers Act rather frightening and is glad that she is now 67 years old and no longer able to be a prospective parent, but Marilyn Vine fears for her children and grandchildren when she sees legislation like this proposed. The more people know about this type of legislation and let their friends know, the better! This is one of the reasons that she has pages like Breaking News 3. Click on the links below. The Mothers Act Part 1 The Mothers Act Part 2 The Mothers Act Part 3 states: For "Postpartum Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder," Katherine writes: "All you have to do to be at risk for getting postpartum is to have the perception of a traumatic childbirth -- in other words, even if your doctors and nurses feel that everything went fairly normally, if it was upsetting and scary and unexpected to you that's what counts." It goes further to say: ”A March 2009, "Practice Guideline for the Treatment of Patients With Acute Stress Disorder and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder," by David Benedek, MD, Matthew Friedman, MD, PhD, Douglas Zatzick, MD, and Robert Ursano, MD, reports that, "SSRIs are recommended as first-line medication treatment for PTSD." "Benzodiazepines may be useful in reducing anxiety and improving sleep," the authors state. Marilyn Vine out of curiosity as to what benzodiazepines might be went to Wikipedia to find out. Guess what! One of the first things it told me was that there was ”controversy concerning the safety of benzodiazepines in pregnancy! It went on to say that while they are not major teratogens uncertainty remains as to whether they cause cleft palate in a small number of babies and whether neurobehavioural effects occur as a result of prenatal exposure; they are known to cause withdrawal symptoms in the newborn.” Do you know what a teratogen is? According to Peter Taubert, author of Silent Killers, More than you paid for! And other chemicals found in personal care products” a teratogen is: Teratogen – an agent or influence that causes physical defects in the developing embryo.” Guess what - “Benzodiazepines taken during pregnancy have adverse effects on the baby. Abrupt withdrawal in benzodiazepine dependent pregnant women may result in spontaneous abortions and provoke suicidal ideation. In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration has categorized benzodiazepines into either category D or X meaning potential for harm in the unborn has been demonstrated. “ Marilyn Vine feels that you should read all the information contained in Wikipedia. It was quite extensive information and if you are young and planning to have a family then Marilyn believes that you should know all about this drug as if you are living in America then, if this Legislation passes, you will come under its influence. Grandparents take the time to read this Wikipedia information so that you can advise your daughters or sons of the consequences if they are put in this adverse situation. US LegislationBefore the House in the US is a Bill H.R. 3200 and in the Senate (no number at this time) Affordable Health Choices Act Affordable Health Choices Act includes:
Senate – Affordable Health Choices Act H.R. 3200 includes:
This bill was considered in committee which has recommended it be considered by the House as a whole. Although it has been placed on a calendar of business, the order in which legislation is considered and voted on is determined by the majority party leadership. Keep in mind that sometimes the text of one bill is incorporated into another bill, and in those cases the original bill, as it would appear here, would seem to be abandoned.
