Medscape... EXETER, UK — Patients with supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) treated with a modified Valsalva maneuver are nearly four times more likely to return to normal sinus rhythm than individuals treated with the standard semirecumbent Valsalva maneuver, new research shows[1]. In 214 patients with SVT presenting the emergency department, the modified maneuver resulted in a return to normal sinus rhythm in 93 individuals. Comparatively, just 37 of 214 individuals with SVT treated with the standard Valsalva maneuver had a return to normal rhythm. The difference in the return to normal sinus rhythm—43% vs 17%—was statistically significant (adjusted odds ratio 3.7; P<0.0 ...
Telomere Shortening a Cause of Alzheimer's Disease?

Medscape...A new study provides evidence for the first time of a causal relationship between telomere length (TL) and Alzheimer's disease (AD), say investigators from Sweden. "This is the first study addressing the causal effect of TL on AD," principal investigator Sara Hägg, PhD, docent of molecular epidemiology, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, told Medscape Medical News. Telomeres are repetitive DNA sequences at the ends of chromosomes that progressively shorten with age. Observational studies suggest that shorter telomeres are associated with shorter life expectancy and greater risk for age-related diseases, including AD. However, these studies could have residual ...

After two months of Chemotherapy, Landon became sick and would refuse to eat. According to his mother, he would vomit up to 50 times a day, and the doctors eventually lost hope, seeing no other solution than Chemotherapy. Then one day, Landon’s grandmother suggested that they look into cannabis oil treatment. “We discussed all of our concerns with his medical team in Utah and watched Landon continue to suffer and wither away as the piled on drug after drug. Then my mother came across cannabis oil online,” Riddle told RYOT. The family then fled the state of Utah for Colorado, where cannabis oil treatment was legal. In just days, Landon began vomiting less and less each day ...

BEND, Ore., Oct. 30 (UPI) -- A teen in Oregon has been diagnosed with the bubonic plague, the Oregon Health Authority said Tuesday. "The girl is believed to have acquired the disease from a flea bite during a hunting trip near Heppner in Morrow County that started on Oct. 16," OHA spokesman Jonathan Modie said in a news release. The teen became ill a few day later, was hospitalized, and is recovering in the intensive care unit, he said. No other cases have been reported. The bubonic plague is an infectious disease humans can acquire if bitten by the fleas of infected animals like squirrels, chipmunks or wild rodents. It is treatable with antibiotics if caught early.

Drug Industry Banditry by Stephen Lendman US drug and biotech companies are licensed to steal, bottom line priorities their sole interest, public welfare be damned. Big Pharma is hated for good reason. Its member companies charge the way MBA students are taught - according to what the market will bear. Grab all you can - with full government support, profits over people. It’s the American way. Illicit drug traffickers look good by comparison. Big Pharma rips off every dollar possible. Their practices are unrestrained unless or until consumers vote with their pocket books, choose alternate products whenever possible or none when they’re not needed, many times the case. ...

Zeolites contain high levels of lead and aluminum: Health Ranger publishes lab test results after being threatened with legal action by manufacturer Thursday, October 29, 2015 by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger (NaturalNews) After publishing a short story yesterday that warned about high lead and aluminum levels in zeolites (while also pointing out the clinical use of zeolites for blocking cesium-137), I awoke today to a stream of legal threats from a zeolite manufacturer who didn't like what I had to say. I'm used to this sort of thing by now, of course. Every time I publish a scientific truth that somebody in the natural products industry doesn't like, they threaten to sue ...
The latest FDA-approved treatment to fight cancer? Herpes
Post Date: 2015-10-29 05:06:31 by Tatarewicz

ScienceAlert... The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved what it’s calling a “first of its kind” treatment to help combat skin cancer: herpes. Talimogene laherparepvec, which will be sold under the brand name Imlygic, was approved by the FDA this week for the treatment of melanoma lesions in the skin and lymph nodes. Imlygic is a genetically modified form of the herpes simplex virus that can result in oral and genital herpes. In drug form, it’s administered via a series of injections to the site of the lesions. While the ongoing stigma attached to herpes means the FDA’s approval might raise a few eyebrows, using a modified form of the virus to help ...

Want... Wang Jun, the founder and CEO of Tanyuan Tech, claims big data can be applied to health management and could potentially extend human life to 150 years, reports the China Youth Daily. Big data analysis can be used in health management, Wang said at this year's Computer Hardware & Software Trade Show. Based on results collected from DNA sequencing, diet and exercise, Wang said big data can use this information to predict the likelihood of specific diseases. Prediction and early treatment could potentially extend a person's life expectancy to 150 years, Wang said. DNA sequencing is now being applied to unborn children to test for Down syndrome and congenital dementia. ...

Media Follows Through on UN’s Anti-Bacon B.S. As noted earlier, the United Nations, being run by Muslims and moonbats, has declared that bacon, ham, sausage, et cetera are as bad for your health as cigarettes. By a remarkable coincidence, most of these newly dangerous foods are pork products, forbidden under Islam. The Islamophile liberal establishment media has predictably gone to town with the story. In just 1 day, Progressives Today collected nine MSM videos hyping the hysterical report. Living under liberalism will soon mean living without bacon. Maybe we will finally start to see serious resistance.
Old drug may help keep Alzheimer's patients out of nursing homes

LONDON (Reuters) - A cheap off-patent drug that relieves some symptoms of Alzheimer's disease may also help keep people at an advanced stage of the illness out of nursing homes, at least for a while. Research published on Tuesday showed that withdrawing the commonly used drug donepezil in moderate-to-severe patients doubled their risk of moving into nursing care within a year, although it made no difference during the following three years. Donepezil, originally sold by Eisai and Pfizer as Aricept and now available generically for just over 20 pounds ($30) a year, works by raising the levels of chemicals within the brain that allow nerve cells to communicate. Like other existing ...
So processed meat has been classified as carcinogenic. Here’s what you need to know.

ScieceAlert... As of today, the World Health Organisation has officially classified processed meat as "carcinogenic", alongside such notorious substances as tobacco, arsenic, and pesticides. The decision was made by the International Agency of Research into Cancer (IARC), based on a review of 800 studies from around the world that found "sufficient evidence in humans that the consumption of processed meat causes colorectal cancer". At the same time, red meat has been classified as "probably carcinogenic", because while a direct link between it and cancer has yet to be found in humans, studies have found strong evidence for it in lab animals. So what does this ...
Dietary Supplements for Male Sexual Enhancement

, Norfolk, Virginia Remedies for male sexual enhancement have been available for millennia. The Ebers Papyrus, dating back to around 1600 BC, recommended topical application of baby crocodile hearts mixed with wood oil. A Sanskrit text written six centuries earlier suggested a man could visit 100 women after consuming a mixture of goat testes boiled in milk, sesame seeds, and the lard of a porpoise. Impotence, a nonspecific term that includes both erectile dysfunction and reduced libido, is clearly not a condition limited to modern civilization.[1] Erectile dysfunction affects an estimated18 million men in the United States, with a prevalence of 18.4% in men aged 20 years and older. ...
Medication errors, adverse drug events seen in half of surgeries

BOSTON, Oct. 26 (UPI) -- Researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital found a mistake or adverse event occurred during one out of every two surgeries and in five percent of drug administrations, according to a new study. While medications are often triple or quadruple checked in normal hospital circumstances as they are passed from doctors to nurses for patients, during surgery there often is not time for that type of verification -- leading to inevitable errors. Some operating rooms have electronic systems that allow for documentation and tracking of medications to reduce errors, said Dr. Karen Nanji, the lead author of the study. "While the frequency of errors and adverse events ...

LYON, France, Oct. 26 (UPI) -- Bacon, hot dogs, corned beef and other types of processed red meat significantly increase the risk for developing cancer, and all types of red meat "probably" increase the risk as well, according to a new report from the World Health Organization. The WHO's International Agency for Research on Cancer, or IARC, report is based on decades of research, though its conclusions were far from unanimous among members of the panel. The report also is expected to be controversial in Western countries, especially the United States, where red meat is a staple of most people's basic diet. "These findings further support current public health ...

ScienceAlert... It’s not for the squeamish, but there’s a relatively new medical procedure called faecal transplanting which is outperforming antibiotics against severe infections. Doctors essentially take poo from a healthy person, freeze it, liquidise it in a blender, then add it to a sick person’s bowel either by a tube through the nose or via the rectum. The method, which colonises the gut with healthy bacteria, has a 85 percent success rate against life-threatening infections such as Clostridium compared to only 20 percent for standard antibiotic treatment. Australian regulators are yet to make a decision on the use of faecal transplants but local clinics are ...

There’s a nutrient deficiency crisis in America Posted on October 24, 2015 by Brad Hoppmann Look at any standard nutrition label, and you’ll see how much of the daily percentage of vitamins and minerals a food will give you. Typically, it’s pretty easy to consume 100% of the essential vitamins and minerals these labels outline. Meaning, you’ve achieved the daily recommended amount. But, there’s a big problem with these recommendations on the label. And it’s contributing to a nutrient deficiency crisis in America. You see, the percentage of daily value on all nutrition labels is based on a 2,000-calorie diet. In other words, these labels provide just one ...
Seven (Potentially) Deadly Prescribing Errors

Medscape... Poor penmanship was once the bane of prescribing, and the cause of many prescribing errors. Even as electronic prescribing (eRx) has markedly reduced some types of errors,[1] others have cropped up to take their place,[2] and the benefits of eRx are at risk of being overshadowed by unintended consequences.[3] Recent reports of prescribing errors vary widely, from 5% to 81% of prescriptions.[3,4] A significant proportion of errors are believed to be caused not by system design features or software glitches, but by human factors, such as fatigue, selecting the wrong option, or entering the wrong patient information into an often cumbersome system. And although most prescribing ...

Atrial fibrillation is a condition that disrupts your heartbeat. A glitch in the heart’s electrical system makes its upper chambers (the atria) beat so fast they quiver, or fibrillate. This causes the lower chambers (the ventricles) to beat out of sync. AFib can be dangerous because it raises your risk of stroke and heart failure. For many people, AFib doesn't cause obvious symptoms. But when there are, they'll often include: An uneven pulse A racing or pounding heart A feeling that your heart is fluttering Chest pain Feeling short of breath When your heart is in AFib, your blood doesn't move well throughout your body. You may feel: Dizzy or faint Breathless Weak and ...
Cancer causing worm accelerates wound healing: Australian scientists

SYDNEY, Oct. 21 (Xinhua) -- Australian scientists have found a cancer-causing parasitic worm that kills tens of thousands of people each year may in fact aid in the healing of wounds. Scientists from James Cook University (JCU) in northern Queensland found that a growth factor excreted by the one centimetre long oriental river fluke worm drives wound healing and blood vessel growth. The downside, however, is an increased risk of developing liver cancer. The worm kills 26,000 people from cancer starting the bile duct each year after eating certain species of raw fish from south-east Asia. JCU researcher Michael Smout on Wednesday said the discovery could help accelerate the healing of ...
