It would be harder to imagine anything weirder and more unsettling than this.

Scientists at a company called  Ventria Bioscience have bio-engineered a strain of rice containing human genes found in  breast milk.  They present this as a disinterested (but profitable) way to control diarrhea in infants ...

However, the risks for our food chain and our health are incalculable.  What boggles the mind is that NOBODY KNOWS the exact consequences of this kind of manipulation, yet Government seems to be in accord before the ink is dry on the proposals.

Human Genes in Rice spark new GM row

I know - that tag line IS stretching it a bit, but after all, Pycnogenol comes from pine bark!

I have recommended Pycnogenol for many years for menstrual discomfort, and it has been generally extremely effective.  Now comes a study showing it can alleviate the discomfort and pain associated with endometriosis, a condition where the onset of menses produces extra tissue, which attaches outside the uterus causing inflammation and pain .  These adhesions may turn up in the abdomen and on the ovaries where it  causes great pain, and interferes with reproductive processes.
