Gabrielle Union's message for women struggling with fertility:

By -
"Being Mary Jane" star Gabrielle Union has a lot going on in her life, with a career that's going strong and a marriage that keeps her smiling. And while she doesn't yet have children of her own, she believes it's important that she and other women don't feel guilty about that. And they shouldn't give up.
"If you happen to have issues with fertility as you've gotten older and you happen to have a career, all is not lost," she explained during a Monday morning visit to TODAY. "There is so much hope, there are so many options." In an interview with Redbook last month, Union, who's married to NBA star Dwyane Wade, said, "So far, it has not happened for us. A lot of my friends deal with [struggles to have a baby]. There's a certain amount of shame that is placed on women who have perhaps chosen a career over starting a family younger." But on TODAY, Union stressed how important it is not to feel that shame.
"I think TV shows and films kind of make [out that] the frigid, single-focused career woman, that her career is the root of all problems in her life," she said. "That's just not the case." Now she wants to "shed a light" on the issue. "Fertility is an issue, period," she said, speaking for women in general, rather than herself. "Having a career is not the price you pay for any ill." Union is stepmother to Wade's three children. She's also nine years older than her husband, whom she called "hot" and "delicious" during her TODAY visit. The couple just celebrated their one-year wedding anniversary. "You know, some people look at marriage as they end of freedom," she said. "And for some reason ... my husband has sort of looked at it as the freedom to finally be the man he always wanted to be. I've had to get used to him being so freakishly happy. It's been good. He's happy, and we're comfortable."

Professor Hans-Heinrich Reckeweg on PORK Biological Therapy

By -

In World War II, soldiers in North Africa were taken ill in ever increasing numbers. They were suffering from abscesses of the lower part of the leg called “tropical ulcers”. These ulcerations left the soldiers unfit to fight and necessitated lengthy hospital confinement, often requiring their removal to more temperate climates. Every possible form of treatment as well as chemical therapy was exhausted without positive results. It was then suggested that these leg ulcers could possibly be connected with the soldiers’ eating habits, as the natives showed no signs of this disease. Rations to the soldiers were then based on a diet free from pork, much like that eaten by the Islamic population. This resulted in the immediate relief of the leg ulcer syndrome. During the lean years of the war and especially those after the war, the health of the population was, practically speaking, good. Few people could ...
