Euthanasia begins in California as Gov. Brown unleashes population control 'right to die' Friday, October 16, 2015 by: J. D. Heyes (NaturalNews) It's now legal in California — a state that abhors the death penalty for violent criminals, child molesters and rapists — to kill yourself or, more specifically, to request death and actually have it carried out. As reported by MarketWatch, Gov. Jerry Brown said that this law would now give terminally ill people the right to make such requests of doctors who would then do what doctors were never intended to do — take a life. In a signing letter, Brown claimed he consulted with two groups of people who supposedly hold ...

USNews/Yahoo... Know your risk. Some medications can lead to bone loss or weakening if they're used in high doses over a long time frame. This bone loss -- or osteoporosis -- increases the risk for fractures, which can be painful and disabling, according to the National Osteoporosis Foundation. "Patients should ask their health care providers about their risk for osteoporosis and fractures," says Dr. Andrea Singer, clinical director for the National Osteoporosis Foundation and a bone specialist at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital. Here's a look at some medications that could lead to bone loss: Glucocorticoids or corticosteroids Oral and intravenous forms of ...
RESPECT 10-Year Data Strengthens Case for PFO Closure After Cryptogenic Stroke

Medscape...SAN FRANCISCO, CA — Using a device designed to close the patent foramen ovale (PFO) in patients who have had a cryptogenic ischemic stroke may reduce their risk of having another stroke, suggests newly released 10-year data from the RESPECT trial. In the extended follow-up's intention-to-treat (ITT) population, those who underwent PFO closure with an Amplatzer PFO occluder (St Jude Medical) poststroke had a 54% relative risk reduction for recurrent cryptogenic stroke vs those assigned to medical management (anticoagulants). Although the original 980-person trial showed superiority of PFO closure over medical management in as-treated and prespecified per-protocol ...

Researchers suggest that pro-oxidants may help to prevent metastasis of cancer. DALLAS, Oct. 16 (UPI) -- While antioxidants may be good for healthy people, researchers found they promote cancer growth in a study with mice. The study, researchers said, echoes some other study results showing cancer patients' tumors actually grew while being treated with antioxidants. The new study suggests cancer patients be treated with pro-oxidants, researchers at the University of Texas said. "We discovered that metastasizing melanoma cells experience very high levels of oxidative stress, which leads to the death of most metastasizing cells," said Dr. Sean Morrison, CRI Director and ...

The bacteria can grow between caramel and the apple's skin if the fruit is not washed well enough before being dipped. MADISON, Wis., Oct. 15 (UPI) -- A 2014 listeria outbreak linked to caramel apples baffled researchers because the bacteria typically does not breed in caramel or raw apples. Researchers at the Food Research Institute at the University of Wisconsin found the outbreak, which sickened 35 people and killed 7, was caused when sticks were inserted into the apples before they were dipped. This created an environment between the caramel and skin of the apple where the bacteria could grow. Listeria monocytogenes is a bacterium causing listeriosis, an infection characterized ...

Did you know that, every single day, the cells in your body divide as many as two trillion times? The new cells replace old, damaged or dead cells and help you live, grow and thrive. But up until recently, we’ve been told that human cell lines have a built-in mortality. As your cells divide, there’s a limit, like the sands of time that finally run out. There’s an internal mechanism or authority that sets the limit on cell division and shuts down the cell line when that limit is reached… causing death. Scientific studies at Harvard, Yale, USC and other leading institutions show that this mechanism or authority is the telomere (TEE-luh-meer), a little bit of genetic ...

An unverified account believed to belong to Morales posted a quote from Tupac’s “The Rose That Grew From Concrete,” on early Wednesday morning: “You see you wouldn’t ask why the rose that grew from the concrete had damaged petals. On the contrary, we would all celebrate its tenacity. We would all love it’s will to reach the sun. Well, we are the rose - this is the concrete - and ...
Diverticulitis on the Rise in U.S. Since 2000

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Diverticulitis became more common in the U.S. from the late 1990s to the mid-2000s, a new study suggests. The findings are from one Minnesota county, but other research indicates that hospitalizations for diverticulitis also increased in the U.S. generally during this period. The overall incidence of diverticulitis, with or without hospitalization, increased by 50% since 2000, and more so in younger people, lead author Dr. Adil E. Bharucha of the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, told Reuters Health by email. He and his coauthors used the Rochester Epidemiology Project to study all diagnoses of diverticulitis in Olmsted County, Minnesota, between 1980 and ...

Advanced Natural Medicine I love the Mediterranean way of eating. But that doesn't mean I don't enjoy foods from other cultures, too. In fact, one of my favorite dishes is Indian curry. These spicy foods are delicious. They certainly fire-up my taste buds. But that's not the only reason I eat them. I also like the hefty punch they offer when it comes to staving off age-related diseases. You see, the key compound in curry is turmeric. It's loaded with a powerful antioxidant called curcumin. And it can help you put the brakes on all sorts of health problems associated with aging. The healing properties of turmeric are so potent that it's often referred to as ...

Medscape... LONDON (Reuters) - U.S. prices for the world's 20 top-selling medicines are, on average, three times higher than in Britain, according to an analysis carried out for Reuters. The finding underscores a transatlantic gulf between the price of treatments for a range of diseases and follows demands for lower drug costs in America from industry critics such as Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. The 20 medicines, which together accounted for 15% of global pharmaceuticals spending in 2014, are a major source of profits for companies including AbbVie, AstraZeneca , Merck, Pfizer and Roche. Researchers from Britain's University of Liverpool also found U.S. ...

If there is one thing that the smelliest, most down-and-out, most destitute, most forsaken homeless guy who sleeps under a bridge has in common with Donald Trump it is that they both own their own bodies. That may be all the homeless guy owns, but he owns it free and clear and should be able to do what he wants with it. And so should we—as long as our activities are peaceful, our interactions are consensual, and our associations are voluntary. Your body belongs to you—not the state, not some government agency, not some puritanical busybody, not some government bureaucrat, and not some nanny statist. So why can’t we do what we want with our own bodies? If a man owns his ...
Scientists map genes that extend life by as much as 60 percent if deleted

ScienceAlert... A 10-year effort to identify the genes responsible for ageing has led to researchers finding 238 specific genes that, when removed, significantly extend the lifespan of yeast cells in laboratory testing. If the results of this genetic editing can be replicated in humans – which is a possibility, since many of the genes and genetic pathways involved are also found in higher life forms – we may be able to seriously boost human lifespans by turning off ageing processes. The researchers found that the life of yeast could be extended by as much as 60 percent in some circumstances. “This study looks at ageing in the context of the whole genome and gives us a ...

By age 80, your risk of suffering from severe cognitive decline is 1 in 2, no better than a flip of a coin. Is it possible for you to avoid becoming a statistic? Losing one's memory and mental abilities to cognitive decline is something we all fear, and researchers have been working for years to develop an effective treatment. But one "miracle" drug after another has failed to live up to its promises. Unfortunately, the medical establishment is so narrowly focused on finding an elusive "cure" that scientifically proven prevention strategies are often ignored. While there are a number of natural brain protectors out there, did you know that one herb has shown more ...
This new computer program can diagnose cancer in just two days

ScienceAlert... When it comes to cancer, spotting the disease earlier can quite literally mean the difference between life and death, and now researchers in Denmark have announced a new computer diagnostics algorithm that's able to identify several types of cancers in just two days. Right now, doctors can correctly diagnose the majority of cancers at the same time as identifying the site of cancer itself, so they know right away if it's affecting the lungs, brain, or another part of the body. However, in a small number of cases - around 1 in 20 - they have to refer the patient elsewhere before the type of cancer can be established, and that leads to an extended delay before ...
The Placebo Effect: History, Biology, and Ethics
Post Date: 2015-10-10 02:05:46 by Tatarewicz

The placebo effect itself is elusive. Though we can hope for it, no one can predict it. Even its definition is ambiguous. The placebo pill—and centuries of various snake oils—has nothing to do with the placebo effect, or the difference between the expected effect of a treatment and the one we observe. The history of placebos is filled with mix-ups and errors. So it is not surprising that the term itself is based on a translation mistake[1]: Jerome was responsible for translating the Bible into Latin (eventually called the Vulgate, meaning it was written in the everyday language of the time), which until then had been in Greek. The soon-to-be saint made a mistake in Psalm 16 (line ...
New Covered Stent Helpful in Gastric Outlet Obstruction

Medscape... NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - WAVE-covered self-expandable metallic stents (WCS) do better than previous models in palliation of malignant gastric outlet obstruction (GOO), according to Korean researchers. Dr. Sang Hyub Lee told Reuters Health by email that the device "was designed to overcome the tendency of early migration of previous covered self-expandable metallic stents." "The stent body," Dr. Lee added, "is indented in the central portion and thus has a bumpy and wavy external appearance, providing mechanical resistance to migration. This stent has a lasso at the proximal end to facilitate repositioning after deployment." For their study, ...

Trade deal to expand healthcare costs beyond Obamacare - worldwide! The Trans-Pacific Partnership will increase healthcare costs by pressuring countries to grant monopolies to drug companies if existing drugs are found to be effective against other diseases. The near-finalized version of the TPP Chapter on Intellectual Property Rights gives signatory countries the ability to grant pharmaceuticals three years of “market exclusivity” for new forms and uses of old medicines, preventing cheaper, genetic drugs from competing. For example, the drug Zidovudine was first discovered as an effective cancer treatment in 1964 and years later, in 1987, it was also found to be effective ...
New blood test determines which patients are at risk of heart attack

ScienceAlert... The levels of a protein called troponin in your blood could tell doctors whether you’re at risk of a heart attack, thanks to a new high-sensitivity blood test developed by researchers in the UK. This quick, convenient method of testing patients could rule out the diagnosis of a heart attack for two-thirds of people in hospital emergency departments, researchers say, drastically simplifying the costs and procedures of hospital admissions for acute chest pain. “Until now there were no quick ways to rule out a heart attack within the emergency department,” said lead author Anoop Shah from the University of Edinburgh. “We have identified a cardiac ...
