Organic Farming Wins for Pest Control and Yields
A separate study found that certain “organic” pesticides can do as much or more localized environmental harm than synthetic pesticides
by Craig Weatherby
When it comes to farming, a new study shows that it’s better to let nature find its own equilibrium that to try to eliminate all pests.
But a second study found that natural pesticides aren’t always better for farming or the environment (see “Organic pesticides”, below).
The first study’s findings were published this week in the prestigious journal Nature by researchers at Washington State University.
The WSU team found that, when left alone, pests manage themselves, and numbers and species even out, leading to ecosystem renewal and bigger, better plants.
As they wrote, “In farmlands, agricultural pest-management practices often lead to altered food web structure and communities dominated by a few common species, which together contribute to pest outbreaks.” (Crowder DW et al. 2010).
The WSU team found that the more natural, “even” balance of plants, insects, and microbes typical of organic farms exerted the strongest long-term pest control and yielded bigger crops.
In contrast, they found more pests and smaller crops on conventional farms using chemical pesticides and herbicides and other synthetic agrichemicals.
They went on to express their key conclusion: “[With this research] … we show that organic farming methods mitigate this ecological damage by promoting ...

Meningitis Alert: Protecting Kids from a Super-Swift Killer
Young people are especially vulnerable to bacterial meningitis, whose flu-like symptoms can easily fool doctors and quickly kill or cripple; Visit Voices of Meningitis for full information
by Craig Weatherby
Four years ago, the daughter of some close friends almost died from a bacterial meningitis infection she acquired while in college.
Anna visited her doctor soon after symptoms appeared, but it was dismissed as the flu and she was sent home.
That all-too-common misdiagnosis nearly cost Anna her life, and it impaired her speech, thinking, and movement for many months. Only now is she back to normal after a very slow, difficult recovery.
Meningococcal meningitis — the bacterial infection that nearly killed Anna — is a menacing one because death or permanent injury can occur within 24 hours after symptoms appear.
Many who survive are left with serious medical problems that may include amputations, severe scarring, brain damage, hearing loss, and kidney damage.
Bacterial meningitis is especially dangerous because its symptoms mimic those of the common flu: fever, headache, sore throat, achy joints, nausea, and diarrhea.
Consequently, appropriate treatment is often delayed until it’s too late.
Fortunately there’s a great organization, Voices of Meningitis, working to disseminate the latest, best information on prevention and recognition among at-risk groups … especially preteens, teens, and young adults.
Voices of Meningitis is a project of the National Association of School Nurses, which deserves great credit for

Shrimp & Scallops in Lemon Butter Sauce
Today’s simple, tasty recipe comes to us courtesy of Pam, author of the award-winning recipe blog, For the Love of Cooking.
Pam describes herself this way:
“I am a stay at home mom with two children who inspire me to be a better cook. I love using fresh ingredients, organic when possible, and I like to experiment with different tastes and textures. I try to keep my recipes lower in fat but still tasting great.”
“My favorite hobbies are cooking, photography and blogging so I decided to combine them and create a recipe blog. It has been a wonderful way to organize my recipes and share them at the same time.”
Here’s how she describes her path to this great recipe:

“It was a long day today. I finished up the last of the back to school shopping. Anyway, I was tired and didn't feel like making a huge dinner.”
“Seafood sounded good and easy so I decided to make shrimp and scallops. I marinated them in garlic, lemon zest, olive oil and basil for 2-3 hours. Then I sautéed them in a lemon butter sauce. My kids gobbled them up and asked for seconds. I loved that it tasted fantastic, was simple to make and very easy to clean up.”

Vitamin D Tied to Parkinson’s Disease
People with low levels of vitamin D were more likely to develop Parkinson’s disease ... and metabolic syndrome, which predicts diabetes and cardiovascular disease
by Craig Weatherby
Vitamin D continues a run of positive research … a string of successes attributable to its unique, hormone-like nature and long-overlooked role in sustaining many vital bodily functions.
The results of two new studies add weight to researchers’ urgent calls to raise the recommended daily allowances for vitamin D.
First, a diet-health population study from the Netherlands supports prior indications that vitamin D helps deter key players in the cluster of six unhealthful blood fat, body fat, sugar control, and other signs called "metabolic syndrome" or MetS.
The Dutch team found that the people with the lowest vitamin D levels were 40 percent more likely to develop MetS, which raises the risk of developing diabetes and/or cardiovascular disease.
Second, a population study from Finland found that the participants with the lowest levels of vitamin D were three times as likely to develop Parkinson’s.

Fish fit the vitamin D bill; Sockeye salmon stand out
