ScienceAlert... A new study brings good news to those who love dairy – the results found those who ate more dairy on average (even high fat dairy products) had lower body fat percentages, and lower BMIs. The research is counter-intuitive to what we all learn – higher fat dairy products such as butter, cheese, and cream are high in saturated fats and should be eaten as 'sometimes foods' if you want to be healthy. Plus, having too much LDL cholesterol in your blood increases the risk of heart disease and heart attacks - around 10,000 Irish people die from those diseases every year and the rates are similar around the world. But this new research, undertaken by the ...

LONDON, March 20 (Xinhua) -- The Tsimane, a society of Bolivian hunter-gatherers living a hunting and farming life, have some of the healthiest hearts in the world, a new study said on Friday. They have the lowest-ever recorded levels of clogged arteries among any population studied, said the research led by Dr. Randall Thompson, a cardiologist at St. Luke's Health System in Kansas City, Missouri. For years, the research team has been tracking the Tsimane, a group of 16,000 people living along a tributary of the Amazon. In the study, the 705 participants were asked to spend a day paddling in their canoes and then hopped a six-hour Jeep ride to the nearest city so doctors could ...
Skyrocketing health care costs: Thanks President Nixon!

Is the health insurance business a racket? Yes, literally. And this is why the shameless pandering to robber baron corporations posing as “health providers” is such an egregious … and obvious … tactic to do nothing more than plump up insurance company profits. And do you know who’s to blame? Believe it or not, the downfall of the American health insurance system falls squarely on the shoulders of former President Richard M. Nixon. In 1973, Nixon did a personal favor for his friend and campaign financier, Edgar Kaiser, then president and chairman of Kaiser-Permanente. Nixon signed into law, the Health Maintenance Organization Act of 1973, in which medical ...

Lion's Mane or Pom Pom weighs up to 15 pounds and tastes like lobster. It also stimulates adult stem cells. Agarikon is active against West Nile virus and several other viruses plus poxes. He infuses medicinal mushrooms into ethanol and even into beer (over a 2 week period). He calls it Myco-Infusion.
Advanced computer imaging tech tapped to reconstruct bladder image

SAN FRANCISCO, March 17 (Xinhua) -- Researchers have used images from cameras attached to long, flexible instruments called endoscopes and then advanced computer imaging technology to create a three-dimensional computer reconstruction of a patient's bladder. With this fusion of medicine and engineering, doctors could develop organ maps, better prepare for operations and detect early cancer recurrences. With endoscopes but without the computer imaging technology, the way doctors examine the bladder for tumors or stones is like exploring the contours of a cave with a flashlight, as they find it sometimes difficult to orient the location of masses within the bladder's blood ...

A new study estimates that an 80-year-old from the Tsimane has the same vascular age as an American in their mid-fifties Modern life really does kill after a remote tribe living deep in the Amazon were found to have the healthiest arteries ever studied. A new study estimates that an 80-year-old from the Tsimane has the same vascular age as an American in their mid-fifties. Heart rate, blood pressure , cholesterol, and blood glucose were also much lower, probably as a result of the tribe's lifestyle, according to the researchers. The indigenous Tsimane people, who live in the Bolivian Amazon, have the lowest reported levels of vascular ageing for any population. Hardening of the ...
An "Off-the-Charts Dangerous" Clinical Trial in Florida Has Left 3 Women Blind

ScienceAlert... Three women in Florida have spent US$5,000 each to take part in a clinical trial of an unproven stem cell treatment to address their macular degeneration - a progressive eye disease that leads to retina damage and vision loss. Two of the women thought they were participating in a government research project, but it became clear that this trial was not only incredibly dodgy and unscientific, it was so dangerous, it left them blind. "There's a lot of hope for stem cells, and these types of clinics appeal to patients desperate for care who hope that stem cells are going to be the answer, but in this case these women participated in a clinical enterprise that was ...
Are patients dying from chemo and not cancer itself?

New research has revealed that cancer isn’t the only thing killing cancer patients. Many times, the treatment itself is what turns out to be the cause of death. For the first time ever, a team of researchers decided to look at how many cancer patients were dying within the first 30 days of chemotherapy treatment. This particular data would indicate that the medication was most likely the cause of death, rather than the cancer. Data from more than 23,000 women with breast cancer and nearly 10,000 men with 9634 non-small cell lung cancer who received chemotherapy in 2014 was collected for the study. A staggering 1,383 people treated died within 30 days of beginning their regimen. ...
Ibuprofen: Calls for sales restrictions on painkiller due to cardiac arrest risk

Common painkiller 'should only be sold in pharmacies, in limited quantities and in low doses' Ibuprofen should not be sold over the counter, researchers have said after discovering it increases the risk of cardiac arrest by 31 per cent. The common painkiller, currently available in supermarkets and corner shops, is a type of medicine known as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Researchers from the University of Copenhagen found other NSAIDs, such as diclofenac, present an even greater risk of cardiac arrest – when the heart suddenly stops pumping blood around the body.

RT... The sleepless nights and constant worry that youngsters can bring may be rewarded with a longer life, as adult children support their parents socially and emotionally, a new study suggests. Health experts from Sweden’s Karolinska Institute tracked more than 1.4 million Swedes born between 1911 and 1925 and found that those who had at least one child tended to live longer than those who were childless. “At 60 years of age, the difference in life expectancy was two years for men and 1.5 years for women,” the research says. At the age of 60, men and women who had children were expected to live for another 20.2 and 24.6 years respectively, while for those who were ...

Nightmarish Trumpcare by Stephen Lendman According to the Economic Policy Institute, “99% of Americans…win if the GOP health plan fails.” It benefits business and super-rich elites at the expense of affordable healthcare for everyone - a fundamental human right. According to Congressional Budget Office (CBO) scoring, 14 million Americans will lose coverage next year, 24 million by 2026, leaving over 50 million uninsured, almost double the number under Obamacare. “We’re going to have insurance for everybody,” Trump promised. “There was a philosophy in some circles that if you can’t pay for it, you don’t get it.” “That’s not ...

Fri, 10 Mar 2017 18:15 UTC We are SHOCKED and saddened to report that on March 2nd, Amish farmer (and father and grandfather) Samuel Girod- who we have reported on before - was found guilty by a federal jury for making and distributing herbal products on his family farm. The FDA requires manufacturers of defined drugs to register their facility with them and the Girod farm is not registered. He will be sentenced by a judge on June 16 at 10 a.m. Watch this video I made below: In the end, the government charged Girod with conspiracy to impede an officer, obstruction of a proceeding before an agency, failing to register with the FDA, eights counts of causing misbranded drugs to be ...
Unaffordable Healthcare in America

Unaffordable Healthcare in America by Stephen Lendman Healthcare in America costs double what consumers in other developed countries pay. Proper coverage is increasingly unaffordable for millions. Obamacare made a dysfunctional system worse. Trumpcare, if enacted in its present form, will be more nightmarish, discussed in previous articles. The misnamed Affordable Care Act (ACA) left around 30 million Americans uninsured, most others underinsured. Trumpcare assures higher costs for less coverage, putting even greater emphasis on profit-making over people needs than already. Underinsurance is the new normal. ACA reduced the number of uninsured from 50 to 30 million. Coverage afforded ...

Opposition to Trumpcare by Stephen Lendman Trump was partly right, saying Obamacare is “a complete and total disaster.” He’s dead wrong, calling his plan “wonderful.” It makes a failed system worse if enacted in its current form. It’s more deform than reform. Straightaway, healthcare providers expressed opposition for good reason. It works for high net worth households, not for others, America’s most vulnerable grievously harmed. It’s “wonderful” for sickness industry predators, putting profits over people needs. Obamacare left 30 million Americans uninsured, millions more way underinsured. Greater numbers will have no coverage under ...
Trump's Pay or Die Healthcare Plan

Trump’s Pay or Die Healthcare Plan by Stephen Lendman Proposed Trumpcare is a boon to America’s privileged and sickness industry, a bane for most others - leaving millions more uninsured than under Obamacare. The plan released Monday will likely be revised before Congress votes on it later this year. If enacted, change will come next year and in 2020. Trump’s promise of improved healthcare for everyone at less cost than Obamacare was baloney. The final bill when voted on will be worse - how much depends on what revisions are made. Things don’t look promising. Most people will pay more for less or settle for inadequate coverage, leaving them mostly on their own in ...

NYT Healthcare Legislation Hypocrisy by Stephen Lendman The Times was a leading Obamacare advocate, praising what warrants condemnation - in an editorial titled “Health Care Reform, at Last,” saying: “The process was wrenching…Barack Obama put his presidency on the line for an accomplishment of historic proportions…a triumph for countless Americans who have been victimized or neglected by their dysfunctional health care system.” Times editors absurdly called deplorable Obamacare “another stone firmly laid in the foundation of the American Dream…reforms (that) could ultimately rival Social Security and Medicare in historic importance.” ...

PMF... The statistics I’m quoting today reveal a problem on the level of a tsunami sweeping across the whole of America and Europe—while somehow, people carry on with their lives as if nothing is happening. Owing to the captive status of the mainstream press (beholden to the pharmaceutical juggernaut for advertising dollars), the tsunami is not receiving extensive coverage. All right. Let’s go to the numbers. “…appropriately prescribed prescription drugs are the fourth leading cause of death…About 330,000 patients die each year from prescription drugs in the US and Europe.” “They [the drugs] cause an epidemic of about [6.6 million per year] ...

Maggie Haberman at the New York Times reports the White House has made an “informal pitch” to Planned Parenthood, offering continued federal funding to the nation’s largest abortion business if it agrees to stop performing abortions. “As I said throughout the campaign, I am pro-life and I am deeply committed to investing in women’s health and plan to significantly increase federal funding in support of nonabortion services such as cancer screenings,” Trump reportedly said in a statement to the Times. “Polling shows the majority of Americans oppose public funding for abortion, even those who identify as pro-choice.

This is the biggest issue before Congress and the American people right now.”

Perfectly healthy when he was born, little Jayden David was just like any other baby. He was smiley, brought joy to his parents, and he probably kept them up at night too. Somewhere around four months old, everything began to change. It’s hard to pinpoint exactly what suddenly started causing the boy to experience abnormal, excessive and synchronous neuronal activity in his brain. What was causing the 4-month-old to suddenly start experiencing fits of vicious epileptic seizures? What had changed so drastically inside the newborn’s brain? His parents could only think of one thing: to consult doctors and specialists. Instead of investigating the cause, the doctors, with their ...

Water Wars by Stephen Lendman During the Nixon era, the 1972 Clean Water Act covered “all waters of the US,” knowing they’re interconnected. Yet Supreme Court decisions and subsequent agency guidance left many of the nation’s waters unprotected for over a decade, threatening supplies for millions of Americans, “putting 20 million acres of wetlands at risk, and leaving 59% of all stream miles in the continental United States unprotected,” according to the Sierra Club. The 2015 Clean Water Rule (also called Waters of the United States - WOTUS) redefined regulatory safeguards of US waterways earlier protected under the Clean Water Act. The Sierra Club called ...
