Males Are Rapidly Disappearing From the Planet!
As a single woman at age 29, I have always grown up thinking that there just doesn’t seem to be many men in my age group, compared to the number of women.? Perhaps a large percentage of them have been sent to Afghanistan only to never return, I convinced myself for many years.? Or maybe I just don’t hang out where the men tend to congregate, I often would think to myself.? But it’s not just me who’s not finding all the hordes of single men out there! I know PLENTY of single females who are talented, successful, brainy, and beautiful who haven’t found the right man because, well, all the “good ones” seem to be taken, so they claim.
But now science is confirming what we women have suspected all along — there aren’t as many men on the planet as there used to be, and that number is rapidly decreasing with every generation.? The problem is threefold; most miscarried pregnancies (accidental abortions) are of male fetuses, the Y-chromosome is disappearing from male DNA, and male infertility is rapidly on the rise.
Why is this happening, you ask?? The problem is that our environment is now permeated with chemicals known as xenoestrogens, or estrogen mimicking substances.? This includes PCBs, pthalates, propyl gallate added to cooking oils, BPA in plastics, 4MBC in suncreeen, parabens in cosmetics, BHA (a food preservative), FD&C Red #3, insecticides, weedkillers, biocides, pesticides, and other mass-produced industrial chemicals.? When these substances enter our bodies, they attach to estrogen receptors and “mimic” estrogen, sometimes causing estrogen-dominant health imbalances including abdominal fat in women and gynecomastia in men, estrogen dominant tumors, and metabolic syndrome.? Perhaps even more alarming, xenoestrogens silently attack the DNA in our reproductive tissues, promoting infertility and damaged sperm and egg cells.? This causes miscarriages of male fetuses, and even the failure for XY individuals to be born anatomically male.? For more information, watch the documentary below.

The great news is that you can protect yourself from these chemicals to some extent by avoiding the foods and products that contain them, by detoxifying your body at least twice a year, and consistently taking a xenoestrogen blocker which is made from an extract from cruciferous vegetables.? These precautions can protect your DNA from mutations that could result in infertility, miscarriage, having children with reproductive abnormalities, or developing estrogen-dominant tumors.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Medicaid, a government health insurance program designed to help the poorest of the poor, is giving people unprecedented access to doctors and also improving their finances, a study co-authored by the Harvard School of Public Health has found.
The study, released on Thursday, showed that new recipients of Medicaid reported better physical and mental health and were less likely to go into debt to pay their medical bills.
The fate of Medicaid -- the health program for people and families with low incomes and resources -- has been hotly debated for its role in the ballooning U.S. deficit. The Obama administration's healthcare overhaul passed last year requires all U.S. states to extend eligibility to millions more people by 2014.
The study followed health outcomes a year after a 2008 Medicaid expansion in Oregon, where 10,000 uninsured low-income adults won coverage through a lottery.
The results show that Medicaid helps poorer Americans well beyond the default safety net options that exist for people without coverage, according to the researchers from Harvard, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the National Bureau of Economic Research and Providence Health & Services.
"Some people wonder whether Medicaid coverage has any effect. The study findings make clear that it does," Amy Finkelstein, professor of economics at MIT and co-principal investigator of the study, said in a statement.
"People reported that their physical and mental health were substantially better after a year of insurance coverage, and they were much less likely to have to borrow money or go into debt to pay for their care," she said.
The study found that newly insured Medicaid recipients sought healthcare "substantially and statistically significantly" more than those who did not get the opportunity to apply for the program.
The lottery winners also spent less on out-of-pocket medical expenses, had less medical debt, were more likely to follow doctors' recommendations on preventive care, buy medication and overall said they enjoyed better health.
An especially large impact was seen in broader access to care. Newly insured adults were 70 percent more likely to report regular clinic or office visits for primary care and 55 percent were more likely to say they visit a particular doctor.
Medicaid coverage also reduced the likelihood that participants would have to borrow money or miss paying other kinds of household bills to pay for their healthcare needs by 40 percent. The likelihood of having a medical bill sent to a collection agency dropped by 25 percent.
The researchers cautioned against extrapolating from their findings to estimate the broader impact of the new U.S. healthcare law given the relatively small sample population.
The study focused on 10,000 lottery winners and compared their outcomes with some of the 80,000 other applicants who were not selected for coverage. Oregon's total population of about 3.8 million includes about 650,000 uninsured and about 200,000 low-income uninsured adults.
Researchers said they will continue to follow Medicaid lottery participants for another year and directly measure health outcomes such as changes in cholesterol levels, obesity and blood pressure.
The research group also included Katherine Baicker, former member of the Council of Economic Advisers under President George W. Bush, and Jonathan Gruber, who helped the Obama administration design the healthcare law as a paid technical consultant.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Providers of bare-bones health insurance plans have until September to seek exemption from certain coverage requirements set under the 2010 health care reform law, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
The agency said on Friday that insurers will need to file by September 22 for waivers regarding annual coverage limits under such "mini-med" health plans.
The plans, generally designed for low-wage restaurant and retail workers, provide lower benefits than the average health insurance plan.
As the health law required, in September 2010 insurance plans began phasing out their annual limits. Today, most plans cannot impose an annual limit that is lower than $750,000. Beginning in September 2011, that allowable limit increases to $1.25 million and in September 2012 it will rise to $2 million.
Such limited benefit plans are to be phased out when subsidies and new coverage options provided for in the health law come on line in 2014. The law prohibits plans from setting annual and lifetime spending limits after that point.
"Until then, annual limits are phased out in order to preserve access to needed benefits and affordability of coverage," CMS said in a statement.
The total market for limited benefit plans is about 1.4 million people.
