			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>According to <strong>DJ Scratch</strong>, producer and longtime DJ for EPMD, <strong>Erick Sermon </strong>suffered a heart attack on Saturday November 12th. The 42-year-old MC and producer from Long Island is &#8220;doing ok&#8221; but Scratch is asking fans to keep him in their prayers.</p>
<p><a href="http://blackatlas.com/city/landing/3938/NY%20-%20Long%20Island" target="_blank"><em><strong></strong></em></a><a href="http://theurbandaily.com/music/ddjames/erick-sermon-talks-about-his-heart-attack-audio/" target="_blank"><em><strong>LISTEN TO ERICK TALK ABOUT THE HEART ATTACK HERE!!(AUDIO)</strong></em></a></p>
<p></p>
<p>Scratch also mentioned that Sermon was not on Twitter and that account claiming to be Erick is a fake.</p>
<p>The news comes just days after one of Sermon&#8217;s peers, <strong><a href="http://theurbandaily.com/gossip-news/jbarrow/heavy-d-funeral-services-being-held-on-nov-18-in-mt-vernon-ny/" target="_blank">Dwight &#8220;Heavy D&#8221; Myers</a>,</strong> died suddenly at age 44 and just weeks after rapper <a href="http://theurbandaily.com/breaking-news/shamika-sanders/rick-ross-has-second-seizure/" target="_blank"><strong>Rick Ross</strong></a> suffered two seizures in one day.</p>
<p>UPDATE:</p>
<p>Former Def Jam label mate <strong>Nikki D</strong> wrote on her Facebook page that Erick Sermon is &#8220;doing well, up laughing and joking.&#8221;</p>
<p></p>
<p>Kim Wingate, a close friend of Sermon and owner of justshuddup.com, told <a href="http://allhiphop.com/2011/11/12/erick-sermon-has-heart-attack/" target="_blank"><strong>Allhiphop.com</strong></a> that high blood pressure was to blame for the attack.</p>
<p>Sermon, aka The Green Eyed Bandit, is best known for recording and  performing as EPMD with his partner Parrish Smith, but has been a  musical force in hip-hop and R&amp;B for many years. He scored a Top 40  hit in 2000 as a solo artist with the Marvin Gaye featured &#8220;Music.&#8221;</p>

<p>ESSENCE.com: It’s safe to say that you’re focused on staying healthy, yes?</p>
<p>CAMPBELL: [Being in good] health is really important to me. Right now, I’m [battling] a genetic lung disorder called sarcoidosis, which can go into remission. I’m in Stage II and I’m trying to reverse it. I’ve only got one body and I really want to take care of it by working out and eating right.</p>
<p>Sarcoidosis is the same lung disease that killed comedian Bernie Mac in 2008.</p>
<p>We wish Tisha and her family the best.</p>

<p><em>“I am not one to do a lot of talking about my personal health or business. Not too much, not too much. There are a lot of people who will talk about anything, as long as there is somebody listening. But I am not one of those people. That’s not Aretha.”</em></p>
<p>And that’s why she says she&#8217;s not discussing the news reports and rumors that she is battling pancreatic cancer.</p>
<p><em>“I am not going to even deal with that,” she states. “I don’t have to talk about my health with anybody other than my doctors. The problem has been resolved.”</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Searching the internet for various resources, information and news is helpful for many of us who use the computer on a daily basis.  We shop, chat, blog and find out the latest fashion and entertainment news regularly.  Some are even fortunate to interact with their health care professionals online also.  <span id="more-1305261"></span></p>
<p></p>
<p><a href="http://mashable.com/">Mashable.com</a> shares with us why more health care experts are embracing the social media now.  Check out what they said:</p>
<p>An exciting new social media trend is emerging that disrupts the  standard view of health care delivery and will have a profound impact on  us all.  Thousands of doctors, nurses, allied health professionals, and  health advocates are publicly engaging with people online. In fact,  nearly <a href="http://www.epsilon.com/News%20&amp;%20Events/Press%20Releases%202010/Epsilon_Study_Reveals_a_Prescription_for_Customer_Engagement/p764-l3" target="_blank">40% of Americans</a> turn to social media for health information.</p>
<p>Patients  (and a few early adopter health pros) moved online years ago to share  health guidance, give support and find answers.  But until recently,  many health professionals have avoided using the Internet and social  media as a way to help patients.  This reluctance is changing, as savvy  physicians, nurses, dentists and other health pros are realizing that if  their patients are online, then perhaps they should be too. Health  practitioners who were once too busy, inexperienced or afraid to share  their expertise online, now actively share links on <a href="http://mashable.com/category/twitter/">Twitter</a><a rel="http://www.blippr.com/apps/336651-Twitter.whtml" href="http://www.blippr.com/apps/336651-Twitter" target="_blank"> ()</a> and <a href="http://mashable.com/category/facebook/">Facebook</a><a rel="http://www.blippr.com/apps/336650-Facebook.whtml" href="http://www.blippr.com/apps/336650-Facebook" target="_blank"> ()</a>, blog, write for online medical journals, engage on Q&amp;A sites, or contribute to online health sites and forums.</p>
<p>For  too long, health and wellness has been a do-it-yourself proposition for  patients online, and people have been left on their own to determine  how to effectively utilize empty search boxes.  People have great access  to lots of information, but they must sort through the billions of  articles to determine the credible from redundant health encyclopedias,  marketing web sites or sites with potentially unknown sources. Then, the  task of deciding the credibility of the sources and articles has fallen  on the patient alone.</p>
<p>While the number of health experts  interacting with patients online is relatively small, there is a clear  trend taking shape.  A recent <a href="http://www.ihealthbeat.org/data-points/2010/how-many-hours-per-week-do-online-physicians-spend-on-the-internet-for-professional-purposes.aspx" target="_blank">Manhattan Research survey</a> of U.S. physicians shows an increase of Internet usage for professional  purposes up from 2.5 hours per week in 2002 to 8 hours per week in  2010.  More strikingly, while more than 100,000 doctors are using closed  social health networks like <a href="http://www.sermo.com/" target="_blank">Sermo.com</a> and publishing in peer-reviewed journals online, thousands of health  professionals are now blogging, using Twitter, and connecting with  patients on Facebook in very public ways. So much so that this November,  for the first time, the American Medical Association released <a href="http://www.ama-assn.org/ama/pub/news/news/social-media-policy.shtml" target="_blank"> a set of guidelines</a> to direct physicians communicating and engaging with patients via  social media. And earlier this year, the CDC also published its own <a href="http://www.cdc.gov/SocialMedia/Tools/guidelines/" target="_blank">best practices toolkit</a> for how health professionals should be using social media.</p>

I wanted to write a quick article about 3 foods that cause eczema.  Sure they are many foods to choose from, but these are the main 3 culprits.  In the video I discuss why oranges, eggs and milk are 3 food items that people who suffer with eczema should eliminate from their diet.

<p>Treatments for <a href="http://www.treatingskineczema.com" target="_blank"><strong>eczema</strong></a> in babies can be a long road if you don&#8217;t get it under control early, which is pretty tough to bear if your little one is a sufferer.<span id="more-1298241"></span></p>
<p>Doctors will do all they can, but many medical treatments focus solely on the symptoms of eczema instead of the roots. There are a few tips to follow that may help you get some real relief for baby.</p>
<p>I am very familiar with eczema because I fought it for the first 10 months of my son&#8217;s life.  He is now 7 and completely eczema free.  You can listen to my story right here</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://treatingskineczema.com" target="_blank"><strong>CLICK HERE TO HEAR MY PERSONAL STORY</strong></a></p>
<p>Bathe baby as often as you can, ideally twice a day. Obviously take extra special care that the water is the right temperature-85 degrees is about perfect for battling <a href="http://www.treatingskineczema.com" target="_blank"><strong>eczema</strong></a>. When you clean baby, use toiletries that are aimed for babies, and always always always try to use natural unscented products. The perfuming chemicals in many products can have awful effects on eczema ridden skin-not what we want for our little ones!</p>
<p>Moisturize the skin, this is crucial. It’s a pretty obvious fact that the higher the moisture content in human skin, the less itchy it is. Itching is a particularly large factor in baby <a href="http://www.treatingskineczema.com" target="_blank"><strong>eczema</strong></a>, as baby doesn’t know what’s happening-this causes them to become more and more stressed and upset, which in turn only effects the itching and makes it worse! It can be a vicious cycle, and hopefully you can keep your little one out of it by regular moisturization. It’s best to do this after bathing, and obviously use the correct products for infants, especially unscented stuff.</p>
<p>Bedding and clothing can be a big factor in <a href="http://www.treatingskineczema.com" target="_blank"><strong>eczema</strong></a>, because it rubs against our skin night and day-this is especially true for baby. Can you imagine being swaddled in a fabric that was itching you non stop? It would drive your baby crazy! To make sure the bedding and clothing is in the best possible way for the baby, try to use things that are made from only the very softest 100% cotton, and keep it laundered frequently. The more frequently it’s cleaned, the less bacteria will have a chance to build up. It’s also a good idea to make sure that any detergent used in the laundry is very mild and scent free. Another point is to bear in mind that your own clothing may also irritate baby, so avoid woolen fabrics and anything else itchy.</p>
<p>Seeing your little one suffering with <a href="http://www.treatingskineczema.com" target="_blank"><strong>eczema</strong></a> can be one of the worst feelings in the world. The tips above can give you a little power to fight back, and hopefully earn some peace for your baby.  I have had the secret to fight eczema for the last six years and I would love to share it with you.  So many people are finding relief not to mention the eczema is completely gone.  You or your little one does not have to suffer.  With weather conditions today during this time of the year, <a href="http://www.treatingskineczema.com" target="_blank"><strong>eczema</strong></a> flare ups are at it&#8217;s worse.</p>

<p style="text-align: center">
<p style="text-align: center"></p>
<p style="text-align: center">
<p>The controversy begins with the gentlemen conducting the interview, Alex Jones.  Alex Jones is the leader of the alternative media as well as the conspiracy theory king. Dr. Mercola discusses every major health issue you can think of, cell phones, fluoride, fructose, gmo and power lifting to name a few. So hang on and enjoy the ride. I can&#8217;t wait to read your feedback. One more thing be on the look out  for a series of blogs dealing with Dr. Sebi. If you&#8217;re not familiar with Dr. Sebi do your research, you&#8217;ll be blown away.</p>
