CRANBERRY JUICE FIGHTS URINARY TRACT INFECTION (HNN) — Drinking cranberry juice regularly has a positive effect in fighting urinary tract infections in women, reports Helath News Network, the news service of the Indiana Associaion of Osteobathic Physicians & Surgeons. Such infections are common in women over age 65. Researchers at Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston have found that there is a compound in cranberry juice that is not found in other juices. The compound prevents bacteria from sticking to the lining of the bladders of older women. Ten ounces of cranberry juice a day cut the infection in half. The researchers are now studying the urinary tract infections of younger women. Root beer, that popular soft drink, was first made and distributed by Charles Hmer Hires in 1877.

IMMUNIZING CHILDREN MORE EXPENSIVE MORE COMPLICATED (HNN) — Immunizing children for various diseases has become more expensive and more complicated, reports Health News Network, the news service of the Indiana Association of Osteopathic Physicians & Surgeons. The number of officially recommended doses for youngsters is now 17, up from 10 in 1983. Vaccines have become much more expensive. In the ten years between 1983 and 1993, vaccines rose from $9.12 to $119.02 in the public sector and from $27.79 to $247.43 in the private sector. Fewer than half the babies in major U.S. cities obtain all their vaccinations by age 2, making them vulnuerable to diseases such as whooping cough and measles, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. Many children in both rural areas and cities are not getting their immunizations as medical authorities recommend. And federal researchers have found that even babies who are up-to-date in their immunizations usually don’t receive them at the recommended intervals. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says parents may not realize children can be protected against more illnesses
