C2C-AM Investigative journalist Cathryn Jakobson Ramin suffered back pain for decades and spent a small fortune on a panoply of treatments. When her discomfort only intensified, she searched for better solutions and eventually exposed a much bigger problem. In the first half, she revealed how a $100 billion-a-year industry, spine medicine, is often ineffective and many times does a patient more harm than good. The trajectory of treatment for back pain usually starts with an MRI, and then moves to a series of epidural steroid injections, followed by physical therapy, and possibly chiropractic appointments that drag on for months or years, and then finally ending up in surgery. Ramin ...

Smithsonian Magazine... Backed by the digital fortunes of Silicon Valley, biotech companies are brazenly setting out to “cure” aging Aubrey de Grey says, “There’s no such thing as aging gracefully.” (Timothy Archibald) It’s just after 10:30 a.m. on a pleasant weekday morning at SENS, a biotech lab in Mountain View, California. I’ve come to speak to its chief science officer, Aubrey de Grey. I find him sitting in his office, cracking open a bottle of Stone pale ale. “Would you like one?” he offers hospitably. De Grey drinks three or four pints of ale a day, and swears it hasn’t kept him from maintaining the same vigor he felt as a teenager ...

Now, Yemen finds itself unable to treat a rapidly growing cholera outbreak that claims the life of one civilian every hour.

Conventional wisdom says that increasing your vitamin C intake can help ward off colds, but now scientists believe it could be a powerful tool in a much bigger battle: The fight against cancer. A study that was recently published in Oncotarget found that a combination of antibiotics and Vitamin C could be as much as 100 times more effective than chemotherapy when it comes to killing cancer cells in a mechanism that is essentially a “one-two punch.” Scientists at the University of Salford subjected cancer cells to increasing doses of the antibiotic in question, doxycycline, over the course of three months and followed this up with Vitamin C, which restricts the cells’ energy ...
Kudzu Root: Beneficial Herb or Just a Hyped Plant Invader?

Kudzu Root: Beneficial Herb or Just a Hyped Plant Invader? If you have ever driven through the South and looked into fields and wooded areas noticing a vine-like plant resembling a topiary, chances are that plant was kudzu. Kudzu root, also known as kuzu, is mostly used as an herb in traditional Chinese medicine. The Chinese cook it in many dishes for both medicinal purposes and flavor, but in the United States, it has a bit of a pesky reputation as an invader that takes over telephone poles, yards and trees. It forms massive shapes, hence the all-natural topiary. It was originally intended to be used as animal fodder and control soil erosion, but with growth rates of up to ...

Israel bans Heinz Ketchup because it’s linked to liver, pancreas, immune system, and brain issues
Post Date: 2017-06-10 12:37:51 by Horse

The food industry only allows it to be sold as “tomato seasoning”, not “tomato ketchup”. Triggered by a series of tests conducted by an Israeli food company also selling ketchup. The tests revealed that, although Heinz boasts over 60% tomato as an ingredient, there was only 21% tomato concentrate in each bottle. The Heinz parent company, Diplomat, tried to argue that their proportions of tomato concentrate were acceptable according to American and European ketchup standards. At that point, the Israeli health ministry got involved and insisted that Heinz must change their labels from “ketchup” to “tomato seasoning” if they want to continue selling ...

The world's most toxic town: the terrible legacy of Zambia's lead mines

Almost a century of lead mining and smelting has poisoned generations of children in the Copperbelt town of Kabwe in Zambia “I’d like to be a doctor,” says seven-year-old Martin, sitting quietly in his modest home in Kabwe, Zambia. But the truth is that Martin struggles with his schoolwork, and his dream seems unlikely to become a reality. Kabwe is the world’s most toxic town, according to pollution experts, where mass lead poisoning has almost certainly damaged the brains and other organs of generations of children – and where children continue to be poisoned every day.

ScienceAlert... There's something about health and nutrition folk wisdom that's resistant to truth. Common health 'facts' include the ideas that MSG will make you sick, that a juice detox is just what you need after a week of indulgence, and that sports drinks like Gatorade are totally fine since you need the electrolytes.

PMF... Sweden has banned mandatory vaccinations, citing “serious health concerns” and the fact they violate a citizen’s constitutional rights to choose their own healthcare. The Swedish Riksdag (parliament) rejected seven motions on May 10 that would have enshrined forced vaccinations into law, stating “It would violate our [Swedish Constitution] if we introduced compulsory vaccinations, or mandatory vaccinations.” Noting also the “massive resistance (by Swedes) to all forms of coercion with regard to vaccinations“, the Riksdag also made reference to “frequent serious adverse reactions” in children who receive vaccinations.

The Brain Literally Starts Eating Itself When It Doesn't Get Enough Sleep
Post Date: 2017-05-26 04:40:19 by Tatarewicz

ScienceAlert... The reason we sleep goes far beyond simply replenishing our energy levels every 12 hours - our brains actually change states when we sleep to clear away the toxic byproducts of neural activity left behind during the day. Weirdly enough, the same process starts to occur in brains that are chronically sleep-deprived too - except it's kicked into hyperdrive. Researchers have found that persistently poor sleep causes the brain to clear a significant amount of neurons and synaptic connections, and recovering sleep might not be able to reverse the damage. A team led by neuroscientist Michele Bellesi from the Marche Polytechnic University in Italy has examined the mammalian ...

LONDON, May 24 (Xinhua) -- Eating chocolate on a regular basis may be associated to a lower risk of heart disease, according to a new study published online by Heart on Tuesday. Researchers have discovered a link between moderate chocolate intake and a lowered risk for atrial fibrillation or flutter(AF), the irregular heartbeat that can lead to stroke, heart failure and other serious problems. Using food-frequency questionnaires to determine chocolate consumption, scientists collected diet and health data from 55,502 men and women ages 50 to 64 in Denmark. About 3,346 cases of atrial fibrillation occurred in this follow-up study lasting over 13 years. Participants who ate one to three ...

ScienceAlert... The first thing you'd see if a nuclear bomb exploded nearby is a flood of light so bright, you may think the Sun blew up. Wincing from temporary blindness, you'd scan the horizon and see an orange fireball. The gurgling flames would rise and darken into a purple-hued column of black smoke, which would turn in on itself. As a toadstool-like mushroom took shape, the deafening shock front of the blast would rip through the area - and possibly knock you off your feet. Congratulations! In this hypothetical scenario, you've just survived a nuclear blast with an energy output of about 10 kilotons (20 million pounds) of TNT. That's roughly 66 percent of energy ...
