NCI reveals how cannabis "may inhibit tumor growth by causing cell death" The institute recently updated its ‘Frequently Asked Questions’ page about marijuana to include various studies revealing how cannabis “may inhibit tumor growth by causing cell death, blocking cell growth, and blocking the development of blood vessels needed by tumors to grow” while also protecting normal, healthy cells. “A laboratory study of cannabidiol (CBD) in estrogen receptor positive and estrogen receptor negative breast cancer cells showed that it caused cancer cell death while having little effect on normal breast cells,” the NCI stated. “Studies in mouse ...
Sleep, Patient Satisfaction May Go Hand in Hand for Hospitals

It’s a common complaint — if you spend a night in the hospital, you probably won’t get much sleep. There’s the noise. There’s the bright fluorescent hallway light. And there’s the unending barrage of nighttime interruptions: vitals checks, medication administration, blood draws and the rest. Peter Ubel, a physician and a professor at Duke University’s business school, has studied the rational and irrational forces that affect health. But he was surprised when hospitalized at Duke in 2013 to get a small tumor removed at how difficult it was to sleep. “There was no coordination,” he said. “One person would be in charge of measuring my blood ...
High Saliva Cortisol May Flag Cognitive Trouble

Medscape... Measuring cortisol in saliva may help identify healthy older people with cognitive impairment, a new study hints. The study team observed that higher evening cortisol levels in saliva were associated with lower total brain volume and poorer global cognitive function in older dementia-free community-dwelling elderly individuals. On the other hand, higher morning saliva cortisol levels seemed to correlate with greater white matter volume and some aspects of cognitive function. Teasing out the differential effects may have clinical implications down the road, note Lenore J. Launer, PhD, from the National Institute on Aging, Bethesda, Maryland, and colleagues. Their study is ...

The first-ever three-dimensional (3D) printer system to manufacture denture bases has been cleared for marketing by the US Food and Drug Administration. Although currently designed for use in laboratories, the Dentca Denture Base may soon allow dentists to make dentures in their offices, said Dentca Chief Executive Officer Sun Kwon in a news release. "This clearance completely revolutionizes the denture manufacture process, which has barely changed in over 100 years," he added. As currently approved, the system begins with a traditional casting impression of the oral region in the dentist office. This impression goes to a dental laboratory for conversion to a digital image in ...

Omega Rejuvenol harnesses the power of nature’s NEW telomere boosters so you feel like you’ve had a 20-year rollback! jumping I’m one of the first medical doctors immersed in telomere biology, and one of the first licensed to administer the first telomere activator. Yet I wanted to see if medical research had uncovered any new nutrients or vitamins to boost telomeres and activate telomerase that were more accessible to the general public—and what I found was a real surprise. Landmark study: Telomere-boosting discovery found in omega-3s For years, I’ve known of the healing power of omega-3 fatty acids. But a landmark study by doctors at Ohio State ...

Want... China is among the countries that has applied 3D printing technology to precision health care, drawing considerable attention within the medical sector, Shanghai's China Business News reports. By taking advantage of 3D printing technology, doctors are able to simulate a surgical process before a surgery starts, says Liu Jinfen, the director of the cardiac surgery department at Shanghai Children's Medical Center, according to the report. 3D printing technology is expected to cut operating times because of the preparation done ahead of the procedure. It has also increased the chances of heart surgery being successful, Liu said. The Shanghai Children's Medical Center ...

Which Foods Truly Deserve 'Superfood' Status? By Michele Bender | Sunday, 16 Aug 2015 10:49 PM The term “superfood” gets thrown around a lot in health publications. It seems like every day there is something new to eat that promises to be the secret to better health. There is no formal definition, but it is clear to many experts that beyond the hype, not all superfoods are created equal. “Superfoods are those that are not only packed with a lot of minerals and vitamins, but with plant compounds called phytonutrients,” explains nutritionist Elizabeth Somer, author of Eat Your Way to Sexy: Start Losing Weight in Just 7 Days! “More and more research ...

RBTH Researchers from Moscow State University have discovered a new process of DNA repair in humans that will contribute to the cure of serious diseases, including Alzheimer's and cancer. Human cells can experience up to 20,000 small-scale DNA failures in the chromosome daily. Scientists refer to them as double-strand breaks (DSBs), and they are usually caused by UV light, ionizing radiation, oxidative stress, various harmful substances and other factors. Those DNA failures can result in mutations that cause serious diseases, including Alzheimer's, Louis-Bar syndrome and cancer. In June, a group of researchers from Moscow State University led by professor Vasily Studnitsky, and ...

"These filters meet US EPA guidelines for bacteria removal to produce safe drinking water," researchers said. BOSTON, Aug. 17 (UPI) -- The "Drinkable Book" has pages that educate and potentially save lives. Recently, the bug-killing book, with pages that purify dirty water, proved effective in a series of field tests. Researchers delivered the good news on Sunday at 250th national meeting of the American Chemical Society, held this week in Boston. The pages inside the drinkable book feature words on the importance of clean water and the risks of water-borne illness. Once the words have been absorbed, the pages can be used to effectively filter murky water. In field ...

Why the “Chemtrail Conspiracy” Is RealTOPICS:ChemtrailsconspiraciesSayer JiAugust 16, 2015 By Sayer Ji While any discussion of the “chemtrail” phenomena today is immediately labeled conspiracy theory, a new study provides evidence that a global covert program is underway, made possible through political, commercial, and government interests working in collusion to release extremely toxic material into the atmosphere ostensibly to “combat global warming.” Admittedly, when the topic of “chemtrails” comes up, I get a bit uneasy. Like connecting vaccines with autism, certain topics have been so loaded with misinformation for so long that writing about ...

There are all sort of reasons that people come down with a cough. This symptom can be caused by respiratory infections like bronchitis or pneumonia, a particularly bad allergic reaction, or viral infections like a cold or the flu. It can also be caused by certain medications, such as those which help treat high blood pressure. Whatever the reason, this can be a difficult condition to live with, especially if that coughing is interfering with the ability to get a good night's sleep. There are many products on the market that can help tamp down a cough – but before reaching for a bottle of cough syrup, read on to find out more about pineapple juice and why recent studies have found ...
Magnesium and your heart… and more

The best way to augment your magnesium intake is to add the foods to your diet that will naturally boost your magnesium levels. Magnesium deficiency is one of the major contributors to cardiac arrhythmia, angina, high cholesterol, high blood pressure and sudden death from heart attack. Unfortunately, almost everyone is low in magnesium. Magnesium is far more vital to our total health than anyone realizes. It is truly the mystery mineral! Our national magnesium deficiency came about because of badly depleted soils, the commercial food industry and overcooking of our foods. A deficiency of magnesium is dangerous for the nervous system, heart and kidneys. But there’s more danger to ...
Mandatory vaccination is simply a way for vaccine makers to profit off of our children

InfoWars... Former Merck Rep Says Mandatory Vaccination Is For Profit and Not Public Health Brandy Vaughan is a former sales rep for Merck & Co. – a vaccine maker – and she details how vaccine companies are using vaccines as a vehicle for massive profit and not public health. Brandy researched the safety of vaccines and found that not only do vaccines contain known toxins that can cause neurological damage, but that vaccine makers do not create the same safety studies for vaccines as they do for other drugs. This lack of true safety research of vaccines combined with the known adverse reactions to vaccination has helped Brandy to decide to never vaccinate her own child. ...
Scientists Use Bioengineered Yeast Instead of Poppies to Make Opioids

Medscape... WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Scientists have invented a speedy method to make potent painkilling opioids using bioengineered baker's yeast instead of poppies, but need to fine-tune the process to make it commercially viable, according to a study published on Thursday. The new method, if it can be made more efficient, could significantly change the multibillion-dollar pain medication manufacturing business, but raises concerns about aggravating the growing problem of opioid abuse. This same type of approach potentially also could be used to make other currently plant-based medicines for fighting cancer, infectious diseases and chronic illnesses. A similar "synthetic ...
This Is What You Should Be Eating Before (& After) A Workout

A few years ago, I went through a phase where I became obsessed with racing in triathlons. I completed about six races in all, including three half-Ironmans (a race that totals 70.3 miles). My major takeaway from that crazy, fun, empowering, but incredibly time-consuming experience was just how essential nutrition is for performance. In fact, at one point, I got so overwhelmed and tired of working out all the time (I started crying in Central Park in the middle of a bike ride out of sheer frustration and boredom), that I decided to ease back on exercise and just focus on nailing my nutrition for my last half-Ironman. I expected that this plan would totally blow up in my face, but instead I ...

Do You Know Your Atrial Fibrillation (AFib) Facts?
Post Date: 2015-08-14 07:28:15 by Tatarewicz
0 Comments
Electricity in your heart tells it when to beat. A healthy heart has a steady and regular beat like a clock. To make your heart beat, an electrical signal travels from the top of your heart to the bottom. That makes the heart squeeze and pump blood. A glitch in this electrical system can cause atrial fibrillation (AFib), the most common type of abnormal heart rhythm. If you have AFib, the two upper chambers of your heart, called the atria, don’t beat normally or regularly. Instead, they beat too fast and quiver like a bowl of gelatin. Your heart may race when you’re under pressure or beat faster when you work out, but that’s normal. Damage to your heart’s ...

Everything is fakein our society today – or at least a great many things are. Our world is filled with an extraordinary amount of lies, deception, disinformation, misinformation, fakery, fraud, facades, mirages, propaganda and brainwashing. The good thing though is that once you awaken to the deception, you can use it as a tool for raising your consciousness. The idea that virtually everything is fake can be empowering rather than depressing. Sure, we’ve all felt overwhelmed, sad, angry and impotent at times when we’ve seen just how easily our (mis)leaders can fool the masses with sophistry and empty rhetoric, but they’ve all been placed there to challenge us to wake up ...
Cholesterol 101: What Your Levels Mean
Post Date: 2015-08-13 09:03:32 by Tatarewicz

We may associate cholesterol with fatty foods, but most of the waxy substance is made by our own bodies. The liver produces 75% of the cholesterol that circulates in our blood. The other 25% comes from food. At normal levels, cholesterol actually plays an important role in helping cells do their jobs. But cholesterol levels are precariously high in more than 100 million Americans. High cholesterol does not cause any symptoms. But it does cause damage deep within the body. Over time, too much cholesterol may lead to a buildup of plaque inside the arteries. Known as atherosclerosis, this condition narrows the space available for blood flow and can trigger heart disease. The good news is ...
Sleeping on your side could reduce Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s risk, study finds

ScienceAlert... The position you sleep in could have a significant effect on your neurological health, a new study has found. Researchers say that sleeping on your side, in what’s known as the lateral position, may help to remove waste products in the brain that contribute to neurological diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. An international team of scientists led by researchers at Stony Brook University in the US used MRI scans to image the brains of rats, and found that the animals’ glymphatic pathways – the system that removes waste chemicals from the brain – was aided in its task when the rodents slept on their side. The researchers’ ...

BOSTON, MA — An elevation in cardiac troponin T—the biomarker used to identify patients with ACS who present to the emergency department with chest pain—is associated with an approximate doubling of the risk of cardiovascular mortality, MI, and stroke in patients with stable ischemic heart disease and type 2 diabetes, according to the results of a new analysis[1]. Despite the increased risk, patients with elevations in cardiac troponin T who underwent prompt coronary revascularization did not have a reduction in the risk of cardiovascular events when compared with patients who were managed with medical therapy, report investigators.

WebMD... Your doctor prescribed a blood thinner to keep clots from forming in your heart or blood vessels. It can help you avoid a heart attack or stroke. But a minor injury can turn serious, because these drugs make it hard for you to stop bleeding. To prevent injuries, avoid contact sports and other activities where you're likely to get hurt. Walk, swim, or do other, safer exercises instead. Take your medicine at the same time each day. Some blood thinners don't work right if you're not consistent. Use a pill organizer or the calendar on your smartphone to remind yourself to take your pills every day. Don't skip doses. If that happens, take it as soon as you remember. ...
