More than 100,000 feared dead in Haiti quake, officials say - CNN.com

Haiti capital flattened. Hospitals collapsed. More than 100,000 feared dead in Haiti quake.

The earthquake's power matched that of several nuclear bombs, combination of its magnitude and geographical shallowness made it particularly dangerous. About 3 million people -- one-third of Haiti's population -- were affected by the quake, the Red Cross said. About 10 million people felt shaking from the earthquake, including 2 million who felt severe trembling, the U.S. Geological Survey estimated....

The United States has been heavily involved in Haiti commercially, politically and militarily for most of the past century - yet the country for shame remains one of the poorest in the world ! - corruption? inefficient aid? no real good will?

PreventDisease.com - The 10 Biggest Health Myths Promoted By The Media And Conventional Medicine

Sunscreens are dangerous to health, promote cancer by blocking sunlight, thus creation of vitamin D. They also contain untested toxic carcinogens. The sunscreen industry makes money by selling lotion products that actually contain cancer-causing chemicals. It then donates a portion of that money to the cancer industry through non-profit groups like the American and Canadian Cancer Societies which, in turn, run heart-breaking public service ads urging people to use sunscreen to "prevent cancer."

The scientific evidence, however, shows quite clearly that sunscreen actually promotes cancer by blocking the body's absorption of ultraviolet radiation, which produces vitamin D in the skin. Vitamin D, as recent studies have shown, prevents up to 77 of ALL cancers in women (breast cancer, colon cancer, cervical cancer, lung cancer, brain tumors, multiple myeloma, etc). Meanwhile, the toxic chemical ingredients used in most sunscreen products are actually carcinogenic and have never been safety tested. They get absorbed right through the skin (a porous organ that absorbs most substances it comes into contact with) and enter the bloodstream.
