Q: Should You Get Chemo If You Have Cancer? Cancer. The word strikes fear in the heart of people everywhere due to its horrible effect on an individual’s health and also due to it’s overall mortality rate. However, many people are questioning if the standard Western cancer treatments are the best way to handle this dread disease. Indeed, some people actually say that the treatment is worse than the disease. Breast cancer survivor Janette Murray-Wakelin refused chemotherapy when her doctor prescribed it to treat her stage 3 breast cancer. She was told that she only had six months to live, yet she had the courage to think, “I was already compromised, so why would I ...

scienceAlert... The CSIRO, Australia’s peak science body, might have stumbled across the most sought of cures in human history - the hangover remedy. The scientists have been researching pears with Horticulture Innovation Australia to discover the hidden benefits of the humble fruit. Apparently pears can lower cholesterol, relieve constipation and have anti-inflammatory effects. But the big interest is that the pear appears to ward off hangovers and at the same time lowers blood alcohol levels. Lead researcher Manny Noakes says the pears, specifically the Korean variety, act on the key enzymes involved in alcohol metabolism, alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and aldehyde dehydrogenase ...

Researchers believe compounds in coffee help protect neurons from the plaques linked with Alzheimer's. BARI, Italy, Aug. 1 (UPI) -- A survey of some 1,400 aging Italians suggests a coffee habit may be good for brain health. While the new study doesn't purport to prove causation, the findings support previous research pointing to the neurological benefits of the caffeinated beverage. When researchers at University of Bari Aldo Moro, in Italy, charted the coffee consumption and neurological health of 1,445 Italians aged 65 to 84 over the course of three years, they found those who drank an average of two cups of joe per day were less likely to have developed mild cognitive ...

ScienceDaily... Babies conceived by women who drink alcohol around the time of conception face dramatically increased risks of type 2 diabetes and obesity in early middle age, a University of Queensland study has found. The discovery was made by School of Biomedical Sciences scientist Associate Professor Karen Moritz during research into how events -- particularly alcohol consumption -- before and during pregnancy affect the long-term health of offspring. Using a laboratory rat model, Dr Moritz and PhD student Ms Emelie Gardebjer discovered that the equivalent of five standard drinks consumed around the time of conception altered the development of the fetus. "Before the egg ...

ScienceAlert... Anyone who's ever been dumped will know that it not only feels like someone's punched you right in the heart, it also makes you seriously crazy. It's the kind of pain that drives you to send 28 text messages to your ex in 15 minutes, drink tequila on a week-night, and quit your job, because "nothing matters if I don't have someone to share it with". The (sort-of) good news is that it's not just you, there's actually a scientific reason for why you make such terrible choices right after a breakup, and it's all to do with the hormones that are coursing through your system during this emotional time. Ironically, these are the very same ...

Booming New Cannabis Industry Faces an Abundance of HurdlesAugust 01, 2015 Visit the Mercola Video LibraryBy Dr. Mercola On July 1, 2015, Oregon became the fourth state to legalize marijuana for recreational use. In Colorado, recreational pot has been legal since 2012 and medical marijuana since 2001. About half the states in the country now permit the use of medical marijuana. With state laws changing almost monthly, America's appetite for marijuana is growing — leaving the weed business booming. An estimated 33 million Americans used pot in 2013, up nearly one-third from a decade ago. In the midst of this "marijuana gold rush," growers eagerly struggle to meet demand, ...

WASHINGTON, July 31 (UPI) -- A vaccine for the Ebola virus has shown 100 percent efficacy in the midst of a Phase III clinical trial in Guinea, researchers with the World Health Organization announced today. The trial for the vaccine, called VSV-EBOV, in Guinea began in March using a "ring vaccination" method, which involves vaccinating all of the people who have come in contact with an infected person, creating a protective ring of non-infection around the person. After seeing the results of the trial thus far, the international Data and Safety Monitoring Board and Guinean national regulatory authority and ethics review committee have approved continuing, and expanding, the ...

One year you hear that green tea is a healing miracle. The next year it's açaí berries or pomegranate juice. Well, you won't find me arguing with any of that. All of these contain very powerful antioxidants. What I will take a stance on is the way food manufacturers and marketers grab onto these super foods and use them to make unhealthy food products. These corporate giants are driven by fads, and will do anything to add to their coffers. The next thing you know we have green tea cocktails, açaí cheesecake and pomegranate ice cream. Turning these otherwise healthy foods into alcoholic beverages and sugar or dairy-laden treats is sure to destroy ...
Software analyzes type, location of fat in body

ORLANDO, Fla., July 30 (UPI) -- Researchers developed software that can detect whether fat in the body is the good brown type or the bad white type, and whether white fat is in subcutaneous cells in the skin or deeper in visceral cells and possibly wrapped around organs. Brown fat, which is related to skeletal muscle, is considered good because it takes calories from from normal, white fat and burns it, helping to reduce weight gain. Brown fat cells also have been found to potentially slow cancer growth. The software reads PET and CT scans in about a minute, and can work with markers such as contact dyes to enhance the software's ability to detect tissues, which researchers said can ...
Positive attitude linked to fewer rheumatoid arthritis symptoms

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa., July 30 (UPI) -- Researchers found that rheumatoid arthritis patients who reported more positive mood moments during the day had less pain and fewer arthritis-related restrictions than those who reported greater depressive symptoms. Arthritis is known to cause depression in patients because of pain that restricts movements and activities. Where previous studies have linked end-of-day mood to increased or decreased pain among arthritis patients, this is the first to measure mood throughout the day. "The results of this study link momentary positive and negative mood with momentary pain in daily life," said Jennifer Graham-Engeland, an associate professor ...
Is Legislation to End Malpractice Lawsuits Realistic?

Editor's Note: A recent Medscape article contended that controversial legislation now wending its way through the Georgia and Florida legislatures would, if enacted, put an end to malpractice litigation in those states and could serve as a template for other states to follow suit, replacing the current medical tort system with an administrative system for redress. The patient, via a patient advocate, would appeal to the system to investigate an injury. The full record would be reviewed by a rotating panel of relevant medical experts. If the panel agreed that the injury was avoidable, the case would be referred to a compensation committee to make payment. The patient would not need a ...

AMES, Iowa, July 27 (UPI) -- Researchers found a strong link between insulin resistance, the use of blood sugar in the brain and the development of memory problems, increasing the risk for developing Alzheimer's disease. Insulin resistance is common in people who are obese, pre-diabetic, or have type 2 diabetes. "If you don't have as much fuel, you're not going to be as adept at remembering something or doing something," Auriel Willette, a research scientist in the Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition at Iowa State University, said in a press release. "This is important with Alzheimer's disease, because over the course of the disease there is a ...

WASHINGTON, July 25 (UPI) -- The Food and Drug Administration is reviewing a controversial change to nutrition labels to add amounts of added sugar and recommended consumption levels, a move opposed by many food and beverage companies. The proposed change to the Nutrition Facts label would set the recommended intake of added sugar for packaged food and drinks at no more than 10 percent of a 2,000-calorie a day, or 200 calories a day. That's equivalent to about 13 teaspoons of added sugar. A 12-ounce can of Coca-Cola has nearly 10 teaspoons. "The FDA has a responsibility to give consumers the information they need to make informed dietary decisions for themselves and their ...
