Benzene and AML (Acute Myelogeneus Leukemia)

Since as early as 1897, Benzene has been known to cause disease when it was linked to aplastic anemia, but it wasn’t until 100 years later, in 1997, that Benzene and AML (acute myelogeneus leukemia) were linked.

In case you are unfamiliar with the term, “Benzene,” is a hydrocarbon compound, which is produced naturally in crude oil. This carcinogenic agent provides an important raw material for the oil industry, but at what cost?

Apparently, Benzene is being used as a cleaning product in this industry and while it is unknown how many people have actually been stricken by this disease, it is known that there have been numerous lawsuits filed against the perpetrators because of exposure to Benzene. Although numerous studies have shown that Benzene and AML are related, there are also studies contradicting this claim on the side of the oil industry, citing no conclusive evidence associated Benzene and AML.

Now, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that something is wrong in the industry. Regardless of who wins these battles in court, the fact still remains that people are getting sick and will continue to get sick if nothing is done to stop this exposure to Benzene. Victorious lawsuits don’t mean a thing if you aren’t healthy enough to spend the money or if you aren’t around. Money can buy a lot of things, but it cannot buy the return of one’s health, nor can it buy back a life.

I don’t know if there’s not enough research being done, or if the oil industry is doing a good job at covering this up, but one thing that is apparent is the problem needs to be dealt with and fast.

The sad truth is that there is a long list of related diseases associated with Benzene and AML. This not only touches workers in the oil industry, but many other industries as well. This disease does not discriminate, it affects all races from all walks of life — women, men, and even children. If man can walk on the moon, I’m sure something can be done to stop the exposure to Benzene.

A Pain in the Neck?

My husband works a great deal at the computer for long periods of time. And, like most men, he refuses to take care of himself, minimalizing his pain, refusing to take pain relievers or getting massages. He will get into the hot tub, but that doesn’t relieve his pain, just reduces it. If it goes untreated for long periods of time, he develops pain in his neck, and pain in back of head. We were just on vacation and I persuaded him to get a massage; the masseuse told us that his shoulders were so hard that she had to work on them for a long period of time.

We are complex creatures, and the most complex part is our body. I find it fascinating how our body manages itself, and how the messages sent to the brain are interpreted. Many times neck and shoulder muscle tension can exhibit itself as pain in back of head. Cardiac disorders can exhibit themselves as arm, shoulder, neck or ear pain, kidney as back pain. it is important for us to know how to keep our body fit, and how to keep it from extreme amounts of stress. Are there exercises to help relax your neck and shoulders, certain things to avoid?

Domain Names People Are Registering

Your choice of domain names is as wide and as fresh as your imagination or as near as your dog, your street, or your own name!

Here are some of the types of names being registered:

- Full names

- Family names

- Pet names

- Team or club names

- Names of books, poetry, music, movies, literature or art that people have created or plan to create

- Names that will be used for marketing a business in order to track advertising results. For example, a farmer named Joe can register an everyday domain name such as joefarmer.com. He can also register a special domain name, such as www.myfarmweb.com. When Joe buys print advertising, he can use “myfarmweb” as the contact web address in the ad and point this URL at his regular farm website. He can then track the number of “hits” to his website generated by that particular ad.

- Toll-free phone numbers (this is very popular in Asian countries, because Asian characters cannot be registered in the global data base)

- Names that protect a brand. People are registering the .com, .net, .org, .info, .biz, .name, .ca, .us, .cn, .eu, .de and .pro domain names for their companies, in order to stop cybersquatters from taking advantage of their success.
