ScienceDaily... In a small study, people with artery problems in their legs walked a little longer and farther when they ate dark chocolate -- a food rich in polyphenols, according to new research in Journal of the American Heart Association. Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a narrowing of the peripheral arteries to the legs, stomach, arms, and head -- most commonly in the arteries of the legs. Reduced blood flow can cause pain, cramping or fatigue in the legs or hips while walking. In this pilot study of patients with PAD (14 men and six women, ages 60-78), study participants increased their ability to walk unassisted after eating dark chocolate, compared to when they ate milk ...

Why hospitals serve food to cancer patients that are contrary to dietary guidelines established by NCI, ACS, hospitals and other research institutes? My younger brother died of Pancreatic Cancer and when he was admitted to MD Anderson Cancer Center, the food provided by the center was totally against those dietary guidelines. I asked the physician why you are giving him food that promotes cancer instead of fighting it. His answer was, “Let him eat whatever he can.” Although at the time my brother was in his early stage of cancer. I am not saying that he would have survived with better food but I am ...
Unapproved device buys time for new pair of lungs

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Jon Sacker was near death, too sick for doctors to attempt the double lung transplant he so desperately needed. His only chance: An experimental machine that essentially works like dialysis for the lungs. But the device has not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration and there were none in the country. It would take an overnight race into Canada to retrieve a Hemolung. Sacker rapidly improved as the device cleansed his blood of carbon dioxide — so much so that in mid-March, 20 days later, he got a transplant after all. "That machine is a lifesaver," Sacker said from the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. Sacker's struggle ...

LONDON, July 2 (Xinhua) -- British scientists have identified a genetic variant associated with an increased risk of stroke and heart attack, according to a new study published on Wednesday. The findings published in the American scientific journal PLOS ONE, suggest a new genetic link caused by a variation in a protein known as 'glycoprotein IIIa'. The genetic variant is found in platelets, a type of blood cell involved in the formation of blood clots. According to researchers at King's College London, their study represents the first large-scale meta-analysis of the literature, including over 50,000 participants from a combined total of 82 studies. They found that carrying ...

A government-contracted security force threatened to arrest doctors and nurses if they divulged any information about the contagion threat at a refugee camp housing illegal alien children at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas, sources say. In spite of the threat, several former camp workers broke their confidentiality agreements and shared exclusive details with me about the dangerous conditions at the camp. They said taxpayers deserve to know about the contagious diseases and the risks the children pose to Americans. I have agreed to not to disclose their identities because they fear retaliation and prosecution. My sources say Americans should be very concerned about the ...

I've spent the last several months in the laboratory developing a formula that might one day save your life. It's a breakthrough in the industry and the first of its kind: A dietary supplement that binds with and captures radioactive isotopes of cesium, helping transport them out of the body via natural elimination pathways.* The product -- called Cesium Eliminator, Formula 137 -- is an emergency use supplement designed to be used immediately after a nuclear accident, terrorism event or act of war. Nuclear fallout causes radioactive cesium isotopes to fall out of the sky and settle on soils, roadways, homes and water channels, contaminating agriculture and municipal water ...

Report: Millions May Be Hurt by Obamacare Data Flaws Tuesday, 01 Jul 2014 11:08 AM The Obama administration has been struggling to clear up data discrepancies that could potentially jeopardize coverage for millions under the health overhaul, the government's health care fraud watchdog reported Tuesday. The Health and Human Services inspector general said the administration was not able to resolve 2.6 million so-called "inconsistencies" out of a total of 2.9 million such problems in the federal insurance exchange from October through December 2013. Of the roughly 330,000 cases that could be straightened out, the administration had only actually resolved about 10,000 during ...

WASHINGTON, June 30 (Xinhua) -- U.S. researchers said Monday they have developed a drug-delivery system based on nanoparticles that can precisely target and attack cancer cells in the bone to fight bone cancer. The system, developed through a research collaboration between Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (DFCI), can also increase bone strength and volume to prevent bone cancer progression. "There are limited treatment options for bone cancers," co-lead study author Michaela Reagan of DFCI Center for Hematologic Oncology said in a statement. "Our engineered targeted therapies manipulate the tumor cells in the bone and the ...

Patients with persistent ringing in the ears -- a condition known as tinnitus -- process emotions differently in the brain from those with normal hearing, researchers report in the journal Brain Research. Tinnitus afflicts 50 million people in the United States, according to the American Tinnitus Association, and causes those with the condition to hear noises that aren't really there. These phantom sounds are not speech, but rather whooshing noises, train whistles, cricket noises or whines. Their severity often varies day to day. University of Illinois speech and hearing science professor Fatima Husain, who led the study, said previous studies showed that tinnitus is associated with ...
New vaccine protects mice against brain tumours

ScienceAlert... Researchers have developed a vaccine that can help mice fight brain tumours, and human trials are aimed for next year. The vaccine works by boosting the immune system against abnormal cells, and was developed by a team at the National Centre for Tumour Diseases in Heidelberg, Germany. And, in mice, it managed to stop the growth of cancer cells altogether - without harming healthy cells, according to new research published in Nature. The vaccine is based on the natural ability that some patients have to mount an immune response against brain tumours. On its own this immune response isn’t enough to get rid of a tumour, but the researchers believe the new vaccine may ...

ScienceDaily: Excessive alcohol use accounts for one in 10 deaths among working-age adults ages 20-64 years in the United States, according to a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention published June 26 in Preventing Chronic Disease. Excessive alcohol use led to approximately 88,000 deaths per year from 2006 to 2010, and shortened the lives of those who died by about 30 years. These deaths were due to health effects from drinking too much over time, such as breast cancer, liver disease, and heart disease; and health effects from drinking too much in a short period of time, such as violence, alcohol poisoning, and motor vehicle crashes. In total, there were 2.5 million ...

Medscape A few years ago, Dr Seth Bilizarian in his blog "Private Practice" spoke about the mounds of paperwork generated by insurance-company inquiries and directives. He was among the first to articulate that the issue is more than a mere annoyance. Since that time, it has become abundantly clear that dealing with endless recommendations, denials, precautions, warnings, and misinformation from these "corporations gone wild" has cost every medical office in this country scores of valuable labor-hours. But worse and much more important, the byproduct of greed in the sheep's clothing of "cost containment" is the endangerment of the lives of the patients ...

The left-leaning publication Slate published an article Thursday that offers unsettling insight to the primary goal of some militant LGBT activists: Defining every child as genderless from birth. In “Don’t Let The Doctor Do This to Your Newborn”, Canadian transgender activist Christin Milloy describes “infant gender assignment”— which means defining a baby as a boy or a girl based on basic biology— as some insidious practice that “might just be Russian roulette with your baby’s life.” Milloy writes: We tell our children, “You can be anything you want to be.” We say, “A girl can be a doctor, a boy can be a nurse,” but why ...

(CNSNews.com) - The Chicago Public Schools this year are mandating that the district’s kindergarten classes include sex education, fulfilling a proposal President Barack Obama supported in 2003 when he served in the Illinois state senate and later defended when he ran for president in the 2008 election cycle. At a Planned Parenthood convention at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Washington, D.C., on July 17, 2007, a teenage girl who said she worked as a sex-education “peer educator” in the D.C. public schools asked then-U.S. Sen. Obama what he would do to encourage the teaching of “medically accurate, age-appropriate, and responsible sex education.” Obama first noted ...

Epoch Times In order to restore the ratio of calcium and phosphorus in our blood, and to enable minerals to bond to our teeth, it is not enough to just avoid eating too many sweet or processed foods. We must also eat health-building foods, containing copious amounts of minerals and vitamins that will build a glassy hard tooth structure. Foods to focus on are: • Coconut oil, grass-fed organic dairy (especially butter), grass-fed meats, seafood and bone broths. • Organic cooked vegetables (soups with bone broth are ideal). • Organ and gland meats, like liver. If you do not consume animal products, focus on foods rich in minerals like fermented vegetables, carrots, sweet ...
