RT... A new study has found that genes linked to the biological clock are activated later in life or during extremely stressful times and may help in the fight against cancer and degenerative neurological diseases. The study, conducted by researchers at Oregon State University, found that a subset of genes known as “Late-life cyclers,” or LLCs, are part of a unique stress response system, previously unknown to science. The work, published in the journal Nature Communications, used fruit flies to examine the activity of at least 25 LLCs, which become increasingly rhythmic as the body ages. More active with age These findings are another example of the importance of maintaining ...

Lately, statins have come under fire as a study concluded that they do more harm than good. A lot of people take statin drugs such as Crestor, Lipitor and Zocor. In the United States, prescription drug spending rose to $374 billion in the year 2014 (the highest level of spending since 2001). Statins make up for a huge portion of spending, and consumers who take these drugs are going to have a lot to worry over than the damage to their wallets.

PEOPLE in a south American desert have evolved to detoxify potentially deadly arsenic that laces their water supply. For settlers in the Quebrada Camarones region of Chile’s Atacama desert some 7000 years ago, water posed more than a bit of a problem. They were living in the world’s driest non-polar desert, and several of their most readily available water sources, such as rivers and wells, had high levels of arsenic, which can cause a variety of health problems. The arsenic contamination here exceeds 1 microgram per litre: the highest levels in the Americas, and over 100 times the World Health Organization’s safe limits. There are virtually no alternative water sources, ...
A Fasting Diet Could Reverse Diabetes and Repair the Pancreas, Says New Research

ScienceAlert... Researchers have been able to reverse symptoms of diabetes and restore pancreas functions in mice by putting them on a version of the fasting-mimicking diet. The diet tricks the body into a fasting mode for a few days a month, even while carefully selected foods are still being eaten, and it could be enough to reboot the organ's key functions and restore insulin production, scientists say. Diabetes occurs when the pancreas cannot make insulin (type I) or is damaged by insulin resistance (type II), and the team from the University of Southern California says the diet reversed symptoms of both types of diabetes in mice. "By pushing the mice into an extreme state ...

Ending Obamacare’s Nightmare Promises a Worse One by Stephen Lendman Addressing the Conservative Political Action Conference on Thursday, Vice President Pence said “America’s Obamacare nightmare is about to end.” He lied saying he and Trump are committed to giving every American “access to quality, affordable health insurance,” vowing an “orderly transition” from current policy to Trumpcare. The only responsible solution is government-sponsored, single-payer, universal coverage - ruled off the table by both wings of America’s duopoly system. Everyone in, no one left out, equal benefits for everyone, not more for some, less for others. House ...

NYT Editors Promote Hazardous Vaccines by Stephen Lendman Global vaccines are big business - estimated to reach nearly $60 billion in annual revenue by 2020, because of widespread use and escalating prices, a boon for Big Phama’s bottom line performance at the expense of human health. Vaccines contain toxic mercury and other heavy metals well above environmental safety levels, risking neurological damage. Distinguished vaccine expert Viera Scheibner calls them biological weapons. They can damage internal organs and leave children or adults vulnerable to severe autoimmune diseases - including diabetes, arthritis, hepatitis, multiple sclerosis, osteoporosis, polio and numerous ...

RT... China could be facing the worst bout of bird flu to hit the country in a century, with Avian Influenza A(H7N9) accounting for the deaths of 79 people in January from the 192 human cases reported so far. The outbreak has been described as the “worst season since the virus first appeared in the country in 2013,” by members of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Guan Yi, an expert in emerging viral diseases at the University of Hong Kong in China, said the surge in human cases is a cause for grave concern.

Why the Kennedy-De Niro Vaccine Challenge Matters

A presidential commission led by Robert Kennedy Jr. could raise uncomfortable questions about the incentives driving vaccination recommendations. Robert Kennedy Jr. and Robert De Niro convened a news conference on Wednesday at the National Press Club to announce a $100,000 cash reward for anyone who identifies a peer-reviewed scientific study demonstrating that the mercury in vaccines is safe. Though the challenge was perhaps something of a stunt, the significance of the appearance was underscored by Kennedy’s confirming that President Trump may ask him to lead a commission on autism. The consequences of such a commission could extend beyond the narrow vaccine/autism debate. More ...

6 Ways to Decrease Your Risk of Alzheimer's Disease

As we age, our brains might start to get less sharp, making it harder to learn new things or remember key events. And for some, that cognitive decline could be significant, in some rarer cases leading to Alzheimer's disease. When it comes to Alzheimer's, there are more drug failures than successes. On average about 99 percent of all drugs in clinical trials never actually make it to approval, and drugs are still failing late-stage trials in 2017. But there are other ways to decrease your risk of getting the disease.

Feb. 10 (UPI) -- Researchers from Cincinnati Children's Hospital found that the impact of a traumatic brain injury, or TBI, in a child can have long-lasting effects years later. There are more than 630,000 children and teens in the United States treated in emergency rooms for TBI each year. The study, presented at the annual meeting of the Association of Academic Physiatrists in Las Vegas, found that patients with mild to moderate brain injury are twice as likely to have developed attention problems when examined seven years after injury. The research also found that children with severe TBI are five times more likely to develop secondary ADHD than children without TBI. Researchers ...

One of nature’s treasures, saffron has been known since ancient times for its bright yellow color, subtle flavor, and medicinal properties. Culinary chefs and home cooks all over the world have used this precious golden herb to enlighten their biryani, curry, paella, or risotto dish. Saffron is the world’s most expensive spice, stemming from the dried orange-red stigmas of the Crocus sativus flower, which are harvested by hand. It takes about 70,000 flowers and numerous man-hours to produce one pound of dried saffron, hence the expensive price tag. Fortunately, a little bit of saffron goes a long way and it may be worth the extra cost. A group of Australian and Italian ...

SYDNEY, Feb. 10 (Xinhua) -- An Australian pharmaceutical company has successfully prevented the progression of Diabetic Kidney Disease (DKD) for the first time. DKD is an often fatal long-term complication of type 2 diabetes which is the most common cause of severe renal disease. It affects one third of people with type 2 diabetes and has no viable treatment until now.

Using 2H10, an antibody developed by CSL, the researchers were able to block ...
The Legalization Cure for the Heroin Epidemic
Post Date: 2017-02-09 09:23:43 by Ada
0 Comments
A heroin epidemic has been spreading across the United States, expanding enormously for the last several years. With it, the number of people dying has also increased dramatically. While politicians offer failed solutions like “securing the borders,” the real solution is to legalize drugs. The number of drug overdoses in the US is approaching 50,000 per year. Of that number nearly 20,000 are attributed to legal painkillers, such as Oxycontin. More than 10,000 die of heroin overdoses. I believe these figures vastly underestimate the number of deaths that are related to prescription drug use. The “face” of the heroin epidemic has changed since the 1960s when it was ...
