People Searching Magnetic-Diet

This is real. People all across US are searching for Magnetic Diet. I Searched too and this is what i found. Magnetic Diet is just another Paid diet program. The "official site" say:

The magnetic diet is more than a weight loss diet. It’s a complete weight and health management system. Not only will you be able to lose weight but you will be able to stay at any weight you choose once you get there. For those who want or need to you can even use the magnetic diet to gain weight. Beyond weight control you will also learn:

1. How to control your cravings. Uncontrolled cravings are the number one reason why people fail at their diets. In the magnetic diet you will learn the most powerful technique to control cravings ever developed. You will be able to use this technique to combat any type of craving including food, tobacco, and other addictions as well.

2. How to exercise to burn fat. Most people waste their time and put themselves at risk of injury performing exercises that only burn sugar and not fat. Your muscles will only burn glycogen (stored sugar) unless you create the correct condition for them to burn fat for energy. In the magnetic diet you will learn how you can create this condition every single day.

3. How to create a lean self image. In life, what’s on the outside is merely a reflection of what is on the inside. If you see yourself as overweight and unhealthy you do the things to create that condition in your life. If you see yourself as lean and healthy you will automatically do the things to create that condition in your life. In the magnetic diet you will learn the techniques that will allow you to reprogram your mind and create a new self image, which will help to create, from the inside out, the changes that you want to see in your body.

4. You’ll learn how to lose weight without losing muscle. Every fad diet on the web and in the media that promises fast weight loss causes you to lose muscle. You’ll learn why losing muscle ruins your metabolism and is the number one reason people end up getting fatter than they were when they started.

My opinion: Worthless, Nothing New. What is your opinion?

HIV-Drugs Tested on Virus-Free People for Prevention

By Simeon Bennett

July 22 (Bloomberg) -- HIV drugs will be given to people who don't have the virus by U.S. scientists to determine whether the medicines can protect those at greatest risk of catching the AIDS-causing disease.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta are recruiting volunteers in Thailand, Botswana and the U.S. to test so-called pre-exposure prophylaxis as a means of prevention. The National Institutes of Health is planning a trial for Peru and Ecuador, researchers told an AIDS conference in Sydney today.

The theory suggests that taking anti-HIV drugs before potential exposure to the virus can protect a person against acquiring it through risky sex or intravenous drug use. It's controversial because of concern it may raise resistance to the drugs, making them less effective when infection happens.

``We don't yet have definitive proof this is effective,'' Dawn Smith, the CDC's associate chief for science, told the conference.

Unlike other experimental approaches to fighting HIV such as vaccines and microbicides, the technique uses drugs that are already in use, such as Gilead Sciences Inc.'s Viread and Truvada. The regime has been shown to lower the risk of infection in monkeys, according to the AIDS Vaccine Advocacy Coalition.

U.S. Trial

The U.S. trial will target young black males who have sex with men because they are statistically more at risk of contracting HIV than their white peers, Smith said. The Thai trial will target as many as 2,000 injecting drug users, and the trial in Botswana will recruit as many as 1,200 heterosexual men and women. The CDC expects its first set of results by mid-next year, Smith said.

As many as 1,400 men who have sex with men may be enrolled in the study in Peru and Ecuador. Participants will take one tablet a day of Truvada, said Robert Grant, associate professor of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco, who is heading the study in Peru and Ecuador.

More British teens diagnosed with STD

LONDON, July 22 (UPI) -- Health officials in Britain blame television programs celebrating casual sex for a dramatic increase in sexually transmitted disease among teens.

Overall, diagnoses of STD (sexually transmitted disease) were up 2 percent in 2006 from the previous year, The Telegraph reported. But the increase was much bigger among teenagers and young adults.

The number of 16- to 19-year-olds diagnosed with herpes was up 13 percent, while genital warts were up 6 percent in that age group. The number of teenage girls diagnosed with herpes rose 16 percent. The overall increase for herpes was 9 percent and for warts 3 percent.

Pat Troop, head of the Health Protection Agency, said young people watch programs that emphasize sex and not safety.

"You don't see people in films pulling out condoms," she said.

Since 1997, syphilis has increased 1,607 percent, gonorrhea 46 percent and herpes by 36 percent. Dr. Gwyneth Hughes, the head of the HPA's STD division, said young people are more likely to be infected because they are more likely to have multiple partners and to engage in unsafe sex.
