Dementia spinning
The Dementia story has been flashed all over the news today, if one believed the government then their gimmicky plans for earlier diagnosis will have a dramatic impact. Dr Grumble cleverly interprets the story here. The lobbyists claim:"Research has shown that a brief four or five-hour programme of support and counselling at diagnosis can reduce institutional care by an astonishing 28 per cent
The lovely ladies of INTERNET CAFE nominated me for this award in the Learn A-Latte category. I am truly surprised and overwhelmed as I consider myself the least in the circle of such accomplished, talented and articulate bloggers. I just put down what throbs in my veins and bubbles in my brain. Thank you so much sisters. To God be the glory.

The PCT list: New Labour's NHS legacy part 2
Following on from the original list, courtesy of a kind GP I have been updated that the initial list was not nearly comprehensive enough. Here goes, it's a bit of a mammoth beast, be warned, here are the lists of the job titles of those working in a few other subsections of the very same PCT (I have had to shrink the font due to the great length of this list):* Acting Purchasing Team Leader*

Sunday Blessings - Cookout
On Saturday evening our Pastor and his wife popped in to invite us for Sunday lunch along with all other church members and guests.In India you can get surprise invitations like these.
We had a worship and communion service. There were about 30 people present.

We had a worship and communion service. There were about 30 people present.
On the menu was rice pilaf, chicken curry salad and nan bread.
We had a good time of fellowship.
"Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching. " Hebrews 10;25 (New Testament)
Low Acid Lifestyle and Diet Slows Prostate Inflammation and PSA
A diet low in trans-saturated fat, high in alkalizing fruit and vegetables and low in animal protein, including dairy products, is associated with a "substantial" increase in prostate-specific antigen (PSA) doubling time and an increase in quality of life, according to results of a pilot study.
PSA is used as a biological marker for an acidic prostate; the higher this number gets, the greater is the man's risk of a cancerous acidic prostate or prostatitis (acid caused inflammation of the prostate). The PSA "doubling time" is the time it takes for PSA levels to increase by 100 percent.
The study subjects included 36 men with biopsy-confirmed prostate cancer who had received primary treatment for more than 6 months previously and who had increasing PSA levels.
Dr. James Carmody and colleagues at the University of Massachusetts Medical School in Worcester randomly assigned the subjects and their partners to attend 11 dietary and cooking classes and mindfulness practice to support the change in diet or to a control group.
Assessments of dietary compliance, quality of life and PSA levels were made at the beginning of the study, after the 11-week intervention, and again 3 months after the intervention was assessed. The findings are published in the journal Urology.
The intervention group consumed significantly less trans-saturated fat, more fruit and vegetables and less animal protein, including dairy products, than did the controls. They also reported more indicators of increased quality of life compared with the controls.
"Although no significant change was found in the rate of PSA increase between the two groups, the mean PSA doubling time for the intervention group was substantially longer at the 3-month follow-up visit than that of the controls," Dr. Carmody and colleagues report.
According to Dr. Robert O. Young, Chief Researcher at the pH Miracle Living Center, "a high PSA is a direct indicator of an acidic lifestyle and diet. There is only one cause of prostate inflammation that then leads to a cancerous prostate - ACID. Just like a rotten piece of fruit the prostate also spoils when affected by excess dietary and/or metabolic acids. I have found in all cases of prostate inflammation and cancer that when you focus on reducing the acid levels of the body with an alkaline lifestyle and diet you lower the PSA levels and reverse the prostate inflammation and cancerous condition."
