What happened when I ate fish at every meal for a year A. Pawlowski 8 hrs ago © Getty Images Salmon Paul Greenberg makes a mean plate of spaghetti and fish balls. The journalist spent a year eating seafood at every single meal, enjoying it grilled, broiled, fried, smoked and packed in olive oil, with the recipes becoming more "inventive" as he went along. His daily fish feast injected his diet with an abundance of fish oil — a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids. How would all that goodness affect Greenberg's body? He was a one-man experiment in a world crazy about omega-3s, a type of healthy fat humans must get from food. Greenberg explored the obsession and ...

Managing yourself The Most Powerful Lesson My Cancer Taught Me About Life and Work

HBR.org I was 34 when I heard my doctor say “stage-four Hodgkin’s lymphoma.” The news hit me like a punch to the face. I was stunned. Then every two weeks for six months, I had to go the Lineberger Cancer Center to receive chemo. I had a hard time getting out of bed on those days. I loathed the nurses injecting poison into me. Once I was there, and the chemo slid into the port, making my chest cold and my mouth taste like metal, I fought back panic. At the time, I was working on my first book, Change to Strange, and writing a book was a real bucket-list event for me. I could have devoted time to it, but I wasn’t able to — especially in that emotional state. I felt ...

Cranberries to the rescue for Staph and MRSA bladder infections Posted on October 22, 2013 by Michelle Moore Cranberry extracts have been proven to be antibacterial against both Staph and MRSA bacteria. Here’s some “new” news for cranberries. While it’s been long known and well documented that cranberry juice helps soothe and control bladder infections, a recent study published in 2012 shows cranberry extracts inhibited the growth of multiple species of Staph bacteria, including MRSA. On top of that, the cranberry extracts also showed activity against Staph and MRSA biofilms, which are one reason why Staph and MRSA bladder infections can be difficult to eradicate. ...
Have an irregular heartbeat? You may have an increased risk of dementia

Medical Express... People with a particular kind of irregular heartbeat called atrial fibrillation may experience a faster decline in thinking and memory skills and have a greater risk of dementia than those without atrial fibrillation, according to a study published in the October 10, 2018, online issue of Neurology, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology. With atrial fibrillation, a form of arrhythmia, the heart's normal rhythm is out of sync. As a result, blood may pool in the heart, possibly forming clots that may go to the brain, causing a stroke. The good news from the study is that people with atrial fibrillation who were taking anticoagulants, or blood ...

It’s no secret that low vitamin D levels can put your health at risk, but new research has underscored the importance of vitamin D in disease prevention for the long haul. Scientists from the University of California at San Diego report that adequate vitamin D levels could help prevent up to 80 percent of all cases of Type 2 diabetes — a jaw-dropping find, to say the least. Type 2 diabetes is quickly reaching epidemic proportions, affecting an estimated 10 percent of the United States’ population. More than 30 million adults in the U.S. have diabetes, while another 84 million are said to have prediabetes. And according to Dr. Cedric Garland, many of these cases could be ...

Ridesharing and the Patient Experience

Our first story brings us to a big money waster: Ambulance rides. A recent New York Times report reinforces the fact that many patients don't need an ambulance to get to the hospital. Ambulance trips cost patients thousands of dollars and they cost the country tens of billions of dollars every year. But 30 percent of these ambulance rides are completely unnecessary. Are ride share services like Uber and Lyft the solution? Maybe. They're convenient, they're affordable and familiar to patients and as luck has it, both companies are diving deeper into non-medical emergency transportation.They're looking at it today and continue to advance it. Here's how C-suites and ...

Dr Otto Warburg Discovered The Cause And Cure For Cancer HomeAll Posts...Dr Otto Warburg Discovered The Cause And Cure... Dr. Otto Warburg, the 1931 Nobel Prize Winner for cancer discovery, stated that “no disease, including cancer, can exist in an alkaline environment.” It was my understanding that he discovered cancer but what blew me away was he actually discovered the cause which, in my opinion, is even more valuable than discovering cancer. Many doctors and scientists have identified a problem, a disease, or a tumorous lump growing on someone for example and then labeling it a disease. The cause of that disease is even more important and significant than the disease ...

Medical Kidnapping: Is Big Pharma Responsible for the Majority of the Nearly Half Million Children Put into the U.S. Foster Care System?

Medical Kidnapping happens far more than we knew. Medical kidnapping of children may be far more prevalent than anyone has realized. When Health Impact News launched MedicalKidnap.com in October of 2014, we believed that these stories were only a small fraction of the larger group of Child Protective Services cases where children were taken away from their families. As we got deeper into our investigation, we realized that the problem was much more widespread than we ever could have imagined. We now know that medical issues are involved in at least half to as many as 80% of all the cases involving the removal of children from their homes. The late Georgia Senator Nancy Schaefer may ...

TEHRAN (FNA)- Genomic screening shows that more than 80 percent of those who carry an identifiable genetic risk for breast, ovarian, prostate, and pancreatic cancer don't know it. Genomic screening of more than 50,000 people shows that more than 80% of those who carry an identifiable genetic risk for breast, ovarian, prostate, and pancreatic cancer don't know it despite frequent interaction with the healthcare system. The findings were published Sept. 21 in the journal JAMA Network Open. In the absence of routine screening, most people only discover they carry cancer-associated variants in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes when that person or family members receive a cancer diagnosis. ...

A superfood most people have never heard of: Jujube fruit programs cancer cells to kill themselves September 20, 2018 by IWB (Natural News) There’s a Chinese saying that three jujubes a day keep you young forever. This might sound odd to Western audiences who tend to associate the term “jujube” with brightly colored gummy candy often found at the movie theater concession stand. However, jujube is also the name of an Asian fruit that shows tremendous promise in fighting cancer. The jujube fruit’s scientific name is Ziziphus jujuba, but it’s often referred to as a red date due to its similar appearance to traditional dates. The plant’s fruit, bark, and seeds ...
