Eating certain foods together, such as chicken and broccoli or salmon and watercress, can help fight cancer. Combining foods containing the two components sulforaphane and selenium makes them 13 times more powerful than when they’re eaten alone, when it comes to fighting cancer. Sulforaphane is a plant chemical found at high concentrations in broccoli, sprouts, cabbage, watercress and arugula. Foods rich in selenium are nuts, poultry, fish, eggs, sunflower seeds and mushrooms. Selenium deficiency has been linked to many types of cancers, including prostate.

We may soon see special cancer-fighting frozen dinners in grocery stores and anti-cancer entrees in restaurants, such as chicken with sprouts, red cabbage and nuts sprinkled on top.

Historical epidemiologist Peter Curson says a lot more infectious diseases like SARS will be spreading worldwide in the future due to our underestimation of the power of viruses and bacteria. He says SARS is a monster of man’s own making, along with other new diseases like AIDS and Ebola. Human behavior has created a situation where basically benign infections that exist in the environment or among animals and humans become newly powerful. Eating bush meat started the spread of Ebola in Africa and inadequate sanitary practices spread it; dangerous sexual practices spread AIDS and international travel has spread SARS.

It may not be a religious war for most Americans, who tend to identify with their country, rather than their religion, when it comes to war. However, Muslims see themselves much more as a single religious “nation,” and thus are more likely to see the Iraq war as an invasion of one religion by another. Since we need to win Iraqi confidence, we should avoid giving this impression. Instead, we’re doing the opposite by allowing religious groups to distribute pamphlets with titles like “A Christian’s Duty” to U.S. soldiers.

The CIA has analyzed the latest video released by the Iraqi government, showing Saddam meeting with his ministers, and now says there’s a good chance that ALL the tapes of Saddam that have released since we initially bombed his bunker at the start of the war were made before the war began. If this it true, it means there is no evidence that Saddam or his sons are alive or uninjured and there may be nobody at the top able to direct the war. This is especially important now that the troops are poised to attack Baghdad.
