In most of the time, people didn’t seem to care too much about the air pollution. Some of them even thought that it’s necessary, as it’s one of the ways to bring a country to wellness!
Well, maybe this new study is going to shed some light to the people and rise up their awareness about air pollution! According to the new study, which is published in the August 2009 edition of Pediatrics, the researchers have discovered that there’s a strong relationship between the increased urban air pollution and decreased IQ amongst children.
In the report, they’ve listed out that the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) is the main cause of why many children in the urban area have a lower IQ than those who living in Suburban or rural area!
PAHs are the chemicals released into the air, due to the burning of non-renewable resources.
A series of tests have been carried out in New York City, Washington D.C. and Harlem. The result is quite shocking, as 140 out of 249 children who took the tests have been exposed to the high PAH in a very long period, were found to have 4.31 - 4.67 fewer IQ than those who have a low level exposure to the PAHs!
Don’t be panicked, as there’s a solution for this problem. All you have to do is practice a healthy lifestyle, such as drink green tea daily; choose the foods that free from any GMO stuffs and exercise regularly. By performing these methods on your children, they’ll be safe from the ravage of PAHs!
AIDS and cancers are the two biggest uncured diseases who always threatening human race in present days. However, these two diseases might become a history, as the Malaysian researchers claimed to discover the antidotes!
The anti-HIV drug is given name as “Calanolide”, is derived from the Bintangor or Calophyllum tree is under the final stages of development.
Rainforest have always being considered as the “green germ”, as many traditional medicines have been found inside the rainforests. However, the sadness thing is the Brazilian Amazon and Indonesia rainforests have been quickly wiped out more than 120,000 square miles in the past decade! If this situation continues, then our hope on finding the cure for the uncured diseases might turn into bubble!
According to Tan Sri Dr. George Chan, the Deputy Chief Minister of Sarawak, Malaysia, the Calonide A samples have been sent to the National Cancer Institute of United States for testing purpose.
By the launching of Calonide A, more HIV and cancer patients might be able to have a normal healthy life afterward…
It isn’t a joke, as this news has been verified by the National Health Board of Denmark on June 30, 2009. The Tamiflu isn’t longer effective to against the pandemic Swine Flu (H1N1).
It might sound a little bit shock, but it’s already happened on one Danish’s female who caught Swine Flu. She had been advised by the doctors to take the Tamiflu to prevent her from getting sick. However, it seen that she still have the developed symptoms, even though she had taken the Tamiflu!
After it, she changed her prescription medicine, from Tamiflu to Relenza. Well, this time, she’s fully recover from the Swine Flu.
David Reddy, the head of the pandemic taskforce at Swiss Company Roche has been interviewed about his opinion on this case. He mentioned that this is a very normal condition from the scientific point of view. Maybe 1 out of 100,000 people will have this situation as the Danish’s female patient did!
Hence, it’s nothing to be afraid about…
The Swine Flu cases have been spreading like bushfire, as it claimed to infect over one million U.S. citizens in the near future.

For your information, the seasonal flu is always sickening more than 30 million Americans each year.
According to the trustable data, the United States’ government has been spending over millions of dollars to create the seasonal flu vaccines each year. Now, they need to add up the budget, as they need to make up the vaccine for treating the Swine Flu!
