Won't matter if Obama trails McCain by 30 pts. in the polls
The Democratic Party will not select Clinton NOR Gore NOR Edwards nor anybody other than Obama at the Convention. To think or hope otherwise is to deny the most foundational desire of politicians: to hang on to their jobs.

Four years of John McCain? Well, considering that the state of the world is almost a guarantee of a one term presidency, big whoopdee doo. Four years of getting your policies thwarted is nothing compared to a lifetime of cushy employment and prestige. And it's not like they try very hard at getting those policies passed, anyway. If it doesn't pass this term, all the more reason to include it in your campaign platform for the next.

Term limits? Hell, they'd go a long way in kicking our two front-running bozos to the curb. Four years would then mean a lot. Can't waste them on losers.

Cynical? Yes. I'll say it again... with Pastorgate I've become sick to my stomach because I now see that in a short time I won't afford the medical care I need for my heart.

Supplemental conditionally essential nutrients in cardiovascular disease therapy.
Kendler BS.

Dept. of Biology, CMSV Campus, Manhattan College, Riverdale, NY 10471, USA. barry.kendler@mountsaintvincent.edu

Conditionally essential nutrients (CENs) are organic compounds that are ordinarily produced by the body in amounts sufficient to meet its physiological requirements. However, in disorders, such as cardiovascular disease (CVD), and in other physiologically stressful conditions, their biosynthesis may be inadequate. Under these circumstances, CENs become essential nutrients, comparable to vitamins.

The CENs of primary importance in CVD, based on the quantity and quality of human clinical studies, are l-arginine, l-carnitine, propionyl-l-carnitine, and coenzyme Q10. Controlled studies of these CENs are reviewed in depth. Taurine is a CEN of secondary importance caused by a limited human database. Other putative CENs include alpha-lipoic acid, betaine, chondroitin sulfate, glutamine, and d-ribose, each of which is mentioned in passing. Collectively, CENs have demonstrated favorable clinical effects in CVDs, including chronic heart failure, myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, and in CVD risk factors, such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and lipoprotein(a).

Limited research has pointed to possible benefits in CVD therapy accruing from supplementation with several CENs in combination. Additional controlled clinical studies of CENs in CVD are urgently needed.

In view of the efficacy and safety of appropriate supplementation with CENs, it is strongly suggested that healthcare professionals become knowledgeable of these potentially important additions to the CVD therapeutic armamentarium.

3. There are high quality formulas for cardiovascular support that
"may" be recommended to you by a doctor who knows both sides of the fence so to speak.
