  Fish -- fin fish and shellfish -- have many of the qualities that 
health conscious food shoppers look for. These foods are low in saturated
fat and are excellent sources of protein, vitamins, and minerals, with
the food values varying depending on the type of fish.

  However, raw fish dishes such as sushi and sashimi can be very harmful 
to certain individuals. Those with liver disease, including cirrhosis, 
hemochromatosis, and excessive alcohol use should avoid eating raw fish 
of any type. Individuals suffering from diabetes mellitus, immune disorders, 
including AIDS, reduced immunity due to steriod or immunosuppressant therapy, 
and those with gastrointestinal disorders. 

  The problem occurs because raw mollusks sometimes carry bacteria called
Vibrio vulnificus, which may multiply after the shellfish are caught,
even with refrigeration. These bacteria are killed when the shellfish
are thoroughly cooked, removing danger from the bacteria causing food
poisoning. The dangers of this bacteria are very high to individuals
who have liver disease. They need to take extra precautions to thoroughly
cook all fish, including shellfish. The Vibrio vulnificus can cause blood
poisoning and is very deadly with up to 50% fatalities to those infected.

  Play it safe, thoroughly cook your fish, also check your local fishing 
regulations and laws booklets -- there are probably species restricted 
against human consumption, due to various contamination. Some areas may 
completely restrict against consumption of fish obtained, or offer 
guidelines on the amount of fish you should consume on a monthly basis. 
Summer is here. Let's go fishing.

SILICONE BREAST IMPLANTS, although very nice in beautifying the world,
present some very serious dangers to the recipients. The implants are
under more stingent controls, however, still available. Many women have
received an alternative, saline implants, but the saline is held within
a silicon container. The dangers from the silicone are still possible
with the saline implants.

If you have implants, you should follow some of these guidelines:

You should be periodically checked by a physician familiar with implants 
and their dangers.

Do not breast feed your children -- it has not been determined if the
silicone "bleeds" into the breast milk -- as this could affect the child.

You should *definitely* have screening mammography at intervals recommended
for your age group. There are special techniques required for women, who
have silicone breast implants. Be sure to advise any technician that you
have had implants, prior to radiological examinations.
