Medical Forum / General / Alternative / February 2008Re: A New Kind Of "Creative Capitalism"
Excerpt From: Gates: 'Creative Capitalism' Can Fight Global Poverty Elizabeth Montalbano, IDG News Service Sat Jan 26, 6:30 PM ET Microsoft CEO Bill Gates gave a glimpse of his future as a philanthropist in a speech in Switzerland last week, calling for a new kind of "creative capitalism" from businesses to help improve the lives of the world's poorest people. Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Gates challenged companies worldwide to work with governments and nonprofits to find ways to be charitable and solve the problems of the poorest people without sacrificing their own business needs. "We have to find a way to make the aspects of capitalism that serve the wealthier people serve poorer people as well," he said, speaking via a webcast from Switzerland. 'Refine System' to Benefit All The idea of creative capitalism combines the "two great focuses of human nature-- self-interest and caring for others," Gates said. By keeping in mind business acumen, corporations can find new and innovative ways to solve major problems for 1 billion of the world's poorest people, who don't get enough food or don't have drinking water or reliable access to medication, which the rest of us take for granted, he said. "This system driven by self-interest is responsible for incredible innovations that improve lives," Gates said. "But to harness this power to benefit everyone, we need to refine the system." Gates plans to retire from full-time duties at Microsoft in July and devote most of his time to The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the philanthropic organization he runs with his wife. Philanthropy Over Profit Gates acknowledged Thursday that profits may not always be possible when companies try to serve the poor, so corporate leaders should change their thinking and not expect that they must make money from new business models around philanthropy. Rather, recognition for the good it does in the world should be enough for a company to take an interest in serving others, because that recognition also has business value. "Recognition enhances a company's reputation, appeals to customers and attracts good people to an organization," he said. "In a market where profits aren't possible, recognition becomes a proxy for profit." In a question-and-answer period following his speech, Gates said that rather than having goals that are too lofty, companies should focus on the businesses they know-- whether food, drugs, media or technology-- to work with governments in developing countries to bring resources to the poor.

But why don't we take a closer look at your cretinous posting habits, huh? Here are a number of subject lines posted by you over the last few days. I note in passing that you have a strange habit of starting the subject lines with "Re:" even though you're not responding to anyone.

Not one of those articles has anything to do with alternative health, and the Medicare article wouldn't even be appropriate on sci.med, really. Perhaps talk.politics.medicine. Now, a few others where you actually hit the mark, though, as Hunter Thompson once said, even a blind pig finds an acorn now and then: Probiotics Re: Infra-Red Helmet Could Reverse Alzheimer's Disease Re: Vitamins May Help Cancer-Related Pain Re: Many Said Turning To Alternative Medicine Now, those we could all agree are "alternative."

But MRSA isn't exactly caused by "too many antibiotics." That is to say, even with absolutely minimum-required antibiotic use, we'd reach this point eventually. Obviously, we got here a lot sooner than we needed to. Anyway, there's really no good reason why hospitals shouldn't be screening all incoming patients for MRSA. I heard last week that a new, very fast, test for MRSA has just appeared. That should help. It's not just MRSA, though.

What is a real doctor? ND? MDH? PA Excerpts From: About The Millenium Project Site Owner This site is owned and maintained by Peter Bowditch. This is opinion The content of this site is opinion. It is my opinion, and if it does not match yours then that is too bad. Some people seem to be very frightened by my opinions, although I cannot understand why this should be so. If they have businesses or beliefs which are threatened by what I say on a web site which attracts a number of visitors each month which is only a minute proportion of the hundreds of millions of Internet users, then perhaps they need to think about how strong those businesses and beliefs are. The second matter is that, because this site is an expression of my opinions, I will publish opposing opinions. From the first day this site appeared it has contained a statement that any criticism may be published here. It is not my problem if people (some claiming extensive and sophisticated research skills) have missed the warning. It was there, and the choice to write was always (and will remain) up to the writer. If you want privacy, don't write. Complaints -what we do about them The only people who would be expected to complain about the contents of this site are those whose beliefs or practices are criticised or exposed by the information here. My ISP and I receive the occasional complaint about this site, and I suppose I would be disappointed if this were not so. Anonymous complaints are ridiculed, laughed at, mocked and ignored. Complaints from real people are read, filed, published on this site and ignored unless evidence is offered of inaccuracy in something appearing on the site. Letters from lawyers (there has only been a very small number of these) are photocopied, read, filed, published on this site and ignored, again unless evidence is offered of inaccuracy in something appearing on the site. Details of Cease & Desist orders or any other requests by lawyers for the removal of content from this site are submitted to the Chilling Effect Clearinghouse. I could not ignore a court order, just as I could not ignore winning $20 million in the lottery (a much more likely event). Of course, anyone initiating court action would not want to have have called me rude names, used twenty different identities, pretended to be me or threatened to harass my clients, otherwise they might look a bit foolish to the judge. I have no desire to publish inaccuracies, but unless it can be demonstrated that something is clearly in error material will only be removed from this site upon the direct instructions of a court having proper and enforceable jurisdiction. Please note that the policy here is to NEVER settle without going to court, and any legal action will be given wide and embarrassing publicity. Do not threaten legal action in the hope of getting a reaction favourable to you in advance of court proceedings or you will be disappointed. Only one threat against this site has ever made it into a court and in that case the settlement required the complaining organisation to pay its own not insignificant court costs. People who want to waste their time complaining to government regulatory authorities about any of the RatbagsDotCom sites should contact the Australian Communications and Media Authority. Details can be found under the heading "Online services content regulation". Medical Advice I am not a medical doctor, and there is no medical advice on this site. If you are sick or think you are sick, you should see a doctor. That means a real doctor, not someone who pretends to be a doctor. The only advice of a medical nature here is in the form of warnings against liars, charlatans, quacks, thieves and other vermin who claim to have cures for things for which there is no cure, treatments for non-existent ailments, or medical advice, products and treatments which have no scientific (or in many cases logical) validity. Funding This site is funded by the commission on the sale of books and some other products, and by donations. My employer donates the cost of web hosting and other ISP costs related to maintaining the site. Suggestions have been made that I am paid by shadowy organisations like pharmaceutical companies.

PA Excerpts From: Medicinal Plants For Health Professor Muhammad Aman Ullah Allah has created mankind and for the benefit of mankind He has created the universe with entire completion and perfection. There are plants of particular properties for the treatment of particular diseases and these group of plants are called medicinal plants. So, if we know the proper use of medicinal plants with its remedial actions we can make our treatment easily and successfully with the best use of them. In ancient times, plants, herbs and shrubs were used only as medicinal agents for the treatment of diseases and healing of wounds. Medicines prepared from different plants are being used orally considered to be non-toxic having no side effects like synthetic drugs. Besides, considering the importance of finding new remedies for incurable diseases like Cancer, AIDS and Diabetes are being discovered from plant origin by some research institutions. In Bangladesh National formulary of "Unani" and "Ayurved" have been formulated by the Bangladesh National Unani and Ayurvedic Board. There are ample scopes for development of medicines from plant material in Bangladesh and for these aspects due facilities may be provided to the Unani and Ayruved enterprises by the authorities concerned. Meicinal plants are valuable for preparing medicines for the treatment of various types of diseases. So, proper steps should be taken to conserve and cultivate different types of medicinal plants in our country like other countries in the sub-continent. India, China, Malaysia and other Asian countries have vast projects to conserve and cultivate medicinal plants in their countries. **Private concern also can take this profitable plan for cultivation of medicinal plants side by side with the government. A good number of people can be employed with jobs for livelihood in this sector as well as a huge amount of foreign- exchange can be earned by exporting medicinal plants to the foreign countries.** (This paper was presented at the International Conference on "Holistic Approach of Unani Medicine In Lifestyle Diseases" on 6 November 2007 at Aligarh Muslim University, India). > In article <0810d046-6089-4bd0-963c-47327f3a2...@m34g2000hsf.googlegroups.com>, > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > I have a really radical idea for you, Paul.
