Top Seven Health Myths

Shaved hair DOES grow back faster and coarser. If you are bold enough you need to try shaving a place you have never. The leg is not the best place to test this. Try you abdomen area for example.

here is another health myth that the USDA promoting NAIS (animal id) would like you believe (nonais.org)
avian flu is not a pandemic.....out of 6 billion on the planet less than 300 people have died worldwide. the birds that have died have been those in close contact with one another such as in factory farming. Thousands in the US die from regular flu alone. Tell me which one you think is a worse threat.
BUT the avian flu might mutate into a bad strain. Yes, any virus can. it can even mutate into a harmelss strain.
But the USDA wants to use scare tactics into making you think we need to track every last critter in the US. Does not matter your choice to healthy pasture raised meats will be gone. Big ag wants all the marbles.

Regarding cell phone interference: patient acuity in the hospital setting has dramatically increased in response to cost saving measures nation wide, ie patients in hospitals are really sick. The question I would pose is which 1% of medical devices are SAFELY interfered with during your loved one's hospital stay, and is the call to their neighbors friend from the hospital room necessary. I would pose the medical device most frequently interfered with is the hospital staff and far greater than 1%. And they of all people should be left to their business. So shut off your cell phone, comfort your loved one/friend, and prepare your questions and comments pertinent to their care for the medical staff. Call your friends and family when you go home or go to lunch.

You most certainly CAN catch a cold if you are using a cell phone in a cold hospital x-ray room without a hat and a coat on while waiting for your Halloween cany to be examined, if you haven't had 8 glasses of water that day. So when you read the dosage information on that bottle of Tylenol, make sure that the lights are all on!

I can agree with most of the article except that for WATER. Significant medical research shows that failure to maintain adequate hydration of the cells (via pure water) is at fault for many medical problems. One of the major times of Heart Attack is first thing in the morning before a person has taken in water to dilute the blood. Look wider than the first article. Check out all the research. There is more likelihood of dying from insufficient water than from excessive water..

Reading in dim light ruins your eyesight: As any other activity.. If done on occasion this will not cause harm to your eyes.. Done repeatedly it will. Working bent over, your back hurts but once you straighten up your fine.. Do it ever day for weeks on end your going to have back problems???
Using cell phones in hospitals is dangerous. HAAA,,, here is the thing people.. Not all Cell phone are built a like.. There are a few out there.
. That will interfere electric devises.. Test this yourself.. Have a nextel? Sit next to your radio plugged in at home.. Or a computer speaker.. Have some one call you.. You will hear the noise.. Now take some one that has just had a pace maker put in.. what do you think that phone is ???might??? do to their already stressed heart when the pace maker ???may or may not??? pick up the signal.
Fingernails and hair grow after death. Fingernails and Hair ???do not???. However it does take the body a while to ???realize??? it has passed on.
There are things that go on with this.. Which will give the appearance of hair or nails growing but we really don???t need to discuss that..
We use only 10 percent of our brains. As stated in the article our brains are always at work??? enough said on this one. How much of it you use is up to you.
You should drink at least eight glasses of water a day. You should always drink water.. And people with Kidney problems should drink more than most. You can however drink to much water.. Just as to much of anything is not good for you. People have died from to much water, many football players have had to sit out a game or play. After drinking way to much water then going out in the field. This also happens a lot in the military. In moderation people.
. Shaved hair grows back faster and coarser. Shave hair does not grow back faster or thicker.. If it does it wasn???t from shaving it.. It was from treatments, or Vitamins, diet some time sickness.
Tainted candy from strangers is a Halloween threat. This one I don???t even know how this gets mixed up with Doctors. This one im not to up on.. I???ve never seen any ???real??? studies on it.. There definitely has been poisoning of candy.. And as stated in most cases it???s a family member or a close friend of the family..

I'm curious now, the cianide in the pixy stix, is this a situation that Metro was involved with or just our local news reporting rumors. Seriously, I don't know, and would like to know the facts, ( I love facts) Laura Las Vegas

Wow. We just love to live in fear don't we? Razor blades in candy, a cell phone killed my best friend, and water sends my mom to her death. While I'm sure all of these accounts really happened and were heart-wrenching, I bet that they are few and far between incidents. The word of the day needs to be Balance! However, I have come to believe with all of my cynical heart that Americans will never, as a whole, understand or acknowledge what that word actually means. So be aware, take pre-cautions, question everything, but please don't live in fear. Live in Balance.

Some of the questions and comments about the accuracy of the article are very interesting. I also feel that "reputable" publications publishing things as factual and true, that have not been proven, is reckless and gives us more reasons to question what things that are reported to the public. The are too many people who blindly accept information from so-called respectable sources (magazines, doctors, police, etc.) and these same people base important lifestyle and/or life altering decisions based off of misinformation and even worse, disinformation.

The most amusing myth (and the one that got more comments than it deserved) is the one about nail and hair growth on dead people. My comment... who cares...they're dead. Also the myth about halloween treats (which I thoroughly dispute) is the one that seemed to get the most comments. However, most of the comments disagreeing with the statement only refer to foreign objects in the treats and not poison. But the misdirection of those comments still does not give the statement any more credibility. Overall it was entertaining and enlightening to see the similarities and differences in the opinions.

People are in the hospital because they are ill and usually in pain. Common courtesy dictates not yakking loudly away on cell phones so the patients can have some peace and quiet. Hospitals are noisy enough as it is.
