Guest guest Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 You might find this very interesting from a Canadian study. 10/6/2008 12:00:00 AM MONDAY, Oct. 6 (HealthDay News) -- Being vaccinated against pneumonia halves the risk of having a heart attack two years later, a new Canadian study finds. The study compared 999 people admitted to Canadian hospitals for heart attacks, with 3,996 admitted for other reasons. It found no difference between those who did or did not have the pneumococcal vaccine in the previous year, but a 50 percent lower rate for those getting the vaccine two years earlier. http://www.everydayhealth.com/publicsite/news/view.aspx?id=619973 Please visit http://everydayhealth.healthology.com/main/video.aspx?focus_handle=cancer & conten\ t_id=1874 & brand_name=everydayhealth Additional Comments: Hard to treat CML FYI, Lottie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
