That's how we got the mindset on several other benign diseases. And just

exactly where did he get his info from? First of all, death is almost always

from a secondary infection, NOT chicken pox. Secondly, how many are we

talking here? Quite a few more, now that the vaccine is in wide-spread use,

I suppose. This is how it starts. An idiot makes a statement, without

foundation. Basically tells a lie. A second idiot repeats it as truth

without research the facts. Idiots 3, 4 and 5 are from the medical

establishment and it sounds good to them, after all, two experts verified it.

They jump on the bandwagon. 7, 8, 9 and 10 see that the trend is going that

way and don't want to be left out. Some Senator (idiot #11) catches wind and

decides something ought to be done (this will be another notch for him to be

re-elected), and pushes to have it added to the schedule. Still the public

isn't catching on as well as the owners of Idiot #1 would like -- so they

start a big marketing campaign (Chicken Pox kills, save your babies). By

now, most of the mommies and daddies out there aren't experienced enough or

have enough memory to remember chicken pox -- and they believe " wow, we were

awful lucky. Let's save our kids " . And then the game of telephone is OVER.

Who wins?

Perhaps they were referring to a less effective vaccine before the

varicella vaccine? I don't know. I'm just asking.

All evidence shows that there's no proof that it's effective, and deaths

always come from treating this disease with drugs.

The August issue of Scientific American has an article on CR: " The Serious

Search for an Anti-Aging Pill. " It's about the possibility of a pill (a " CR

mimetic " ) based on something like 2-deoxy-D-glucose, which interferes with the

way cells process glucose. 2DG is toxic to humans, but the researchers think

something similar can be found.

" In essense, 2DG tricks the cell into a metabolic state similar to that seen

during caloric restriction, even though the body is taking in normal amounts of

food. "

Aside from the research into a mimetic pill, this article doesn't say anything

new about CR, but it's nonetheless satisfying to see yet more evidence that the

scientific establishment is taking CR seriously.

By the way, the article mentions little or nothing about optimal nutrition.

Even at a gargantuan caloric intake, I doubt that the average American achieves

anything close to optimal nutrition, so clearly a pill alone won't be enough.
