Wear TOMS Comfortable Shoes and Aid Haiti

Wear TOMS comfortable shoes and help the One for One program aid Haiti.

In 2006  Blake Mycoskie, while traveling in Argentina, found children there with no shoes. Thus inspired, he created TOMS Shoes as a company that would match every pair of shoes purchased with a pair of new shoes given to a child in need.

TOMS and the ONE for ONE program have succeeded in giving over 400,000 pairs of shoes to children.

Now, according to TOMS Shoes website, TOMS is helping the earthquake devastated Haiti.

Even if we have already donated in some way, we  can continue to help as we wear TOMS comfortable shoes.

Stronger Drug Warning Label For Meridia Appetite Suppressant Drug

A stronger drug warning label for Meridia appetite suppressant drug is being urged by the FDA following review of raw data from a recent study. The obesity study indicates people with certain health problems who took the prescription drug, Meridia, had more heart attacks, strokes and other cardiovascular incidents than people getting a placebo.

Meanwhile on Thursday, the European Medicines Agency advised doctors and pharmacists to stop prescribing and dispensing European equivalents of Meridia.

It has been presumed that weight loss drugs could actually help reduce serious health problems such as heart disease. This study, known as the Scout study, is the first to actually test this presumption.

The FDA said the stronger drug warning label for Meridia appetite suppressant drug should indicate that the drug was not to be used by people who have a history of heart attacks or strokes, or who have uncontrolled high blood pressure.
