A formal investigation has been launched by French authorities against two managers from drug companies GlaxoSmithKline and Sanofi Pasteur. A second investigation for manslaughter has also been opened against Sanofi Pasteur MSD.

Dr. Mercola's Comments:

In the United States, the hepatitis B vaccine is recommended for all newborns before they are discharged from the hospital. These recommendations are inexcusable.

It finally seems that the drug companies will be held responsible for the consequences of giving this dangerous vaccine to infants.

Greasy hair might reduce the amount of ozone you breathe in. When researchers exposed samples of washed and unwashed hair to ozone for 24 hours, they found that the unwashed hair absorbed around seven times as much ozone.

Dr. Mercola's Comments:

My first thought when reading this article was, 'Is there even ONE good reason for clogging up the information highway with this kind of nonsense?'

Well. Since no one was around to answer me, I decided to do some digging, and will share my findings with all you loyal readers who deserve to know the answer to this pressing question, and perhaps - at least partially - restore your faith in the mental faculties of our educated scholars.

SOLAR CYCLE UPDATE

A solar cycle update just released by NASA solar physicist David Hathaway shows why. We are experiencing the lowest ebb of solar minimum.

In the plot, the noisy curve is the International Sunspot Number measured by a worldwide network of solar observers.

The smoothed curves are predictions for the future.

We see that sunspot numbers may remain low for many months to come before beginning a rapid ascent in early 2009 toward the next solar maximum.

It's something to look forward to.

Meanwhile, stay tuned for quiet.

He who stands on tiptoe is not steady.
He who strides cannot maintain the pace.
He who makes a show is not enlightened.
He who is self-righteous is not respected.
He who boasts achieves nothing.
He who brags will not endure.
According to the followers of the Tao,
"These are extra food and unnecessary luggage."
They do not bring happiness.
Therefore followers of the Tao avoid them.
