WASHINGTON, Jan. 20 (Xinhua) -- Patients in the early stages of multiple sclerosis (MS) could "stave off disease symptoms" by increasing their vitamin D intake, U.S. researchers said Monday. The study, published in the U.S. journal JAMA Neurology, found that levels of vitamin D were strongly associated with disease severity and speed of progression in early-stage MS patients. "Because low vitamin D levels are common and can be easily and safely increased by oral supplementation, these findings may contribute to better outcomes for many MS patients," said lead author Alberto Ascherio, professor of epidemiology and nutrition at the Harvard School of Public Health. ...

ScienceAlert... This is the first therapy that reduces heart attack damage and scarring by targeting the key driver of that damage. The research breakthrough, published in Science Translational Medicine, involves injecting tiny "microparticles" into the bloodstream within 24 hours of a heart attack to reduce tissue damage made by inflammatory cells. The discovery was made at the University of Sydney and is the result of an international collaboration with researchers at Northwestern University in the USA, and Bonn and Münster in Germany. After a heart attack (myocardial infarction), much of the damage to heart muscle is caused by inflammatory cells that rush to the scene ...

ScienceDaily...Jan. 20, 2014 — Higher levels of melatonin, a hormone involved in the sleep-wake cycle, may suggest decreased risk for developing advanced prostate cancer, according to results presented at the AACR-Prostate Cancer Foundation Conference on Advances in Prostate Cancer Research, held Jan. 18-21. Share This:Melatonin is a hormone that is produced exclusively at night in the dark and is an important output of the circadian rhythm, or the body's inherent 24-hour clock. Many biological processes are regulated by the circadian rhythm, including the sleep-wake cycle. Melatonin may play a role in regulating a range of other hormones that influence certain cancers, ...

Medscape...A new study in healthy women suggests that consuming high levels of flavonoids, including compounds found in berries, tea, grapes, and wine, could potentially lower the risk of type 2 diabetes. The study, published in the February issue of the Journal of Nutrition, indicates that greater intake of these dietary compounds is associated with lower insulin resistance and better blood glucose regulation. The researchers, led by Amy Jennings, PhD, Department of Nutrition, University of East Anglia, Norwich, UK, say their study is one of the first to examine consumption of different flavonoid subclasses and insulin resistance. "We found that those who consumed plenty of ...

While beans are actually one of the healthiest carbs sources out there, loaded with fiber and protein, there's actually one variety of beans you should be AVOIDING at all costs: Baked Beans. Fact is, manufacturers of commercial "baked beans" are completely RUINING this health food by piling in sugars galore along with a slew of artificial ingredients. Many brands are now even including high fructose corn syrup and numerous other corn ingredients, such as corn starch, in their products...bad news! For example, a 1-cup serving of canned "baked beans" contains more than 20 grams of ADDED sugar on average while the same 1-cup serving of regular kidney beans, pinto ...

If you've ever visited anyone's house for dinner and a big, sloppy "secret family recipe" dish is flopped down in front of you, chances are high that the messy goodness could have originated from the Depression era. Families were taught to creatively stretch out their food budgets and toast, potatoes and flour seem to be the popular, inexpensive ingredients. Expensive meat was typically eaten only once a week. Some foods were invented during the Depression, such as spam, Ritz crackers, Krispy Kreme doughnuts and Kraft macaroni and cheese, according to livinghistoryfarm.org. We've compiled some simple, easy recipes from 90-something Clara who shares her childhood ...

Dementia drug fizzled while E sizzled When volunteers were given both vitamin E and memantine there was no improvement. In other words, they didn't get the same exciting benefits as those lucky volunteers who got vitamin E alone. A total of 613 veteran volunteers, mostly men, were divided into four groups. The first group was given a large dose of vitamin E, 2,000 I.U.'s, daily. The second group got the dementia drug memantine, and the third group got both the vitamin E and drug. The final group was given a placebo. The researchers hoped that combining the vitamin with the drug would result in double the benefits. But they were shocked to find that this wasn't the case. And ...

A Psychiatrist’s Perspective on Using Drugs January 16, 2014 | 30,466 views Visit the Mercola Video Library By Kelly Brogan, MD When I see new patients, I do not prescribe medication for them. Patients who come to me know that I plan to help them understand "why" they are experiencing "what" they are going through. Once I have tapered patients off of medication, we use alternatives if symptoms crop up again. Knowing my basic orientation around the issue of psychiatric prescribing doesn't seem to stop some patients from asking for what they believe will be a quick fix in an antidepressant pill. Where did they learn to make these treatment requests of ...

Local Se A Swedish study has found that paracetamol can interfere with the brain development of children, and can even be dangerous for the unborn children of pregnant women. Researchers at Uppsala University examined paracetamol, one of the most commonly used drugs for pain and fever in children, by giving small doses of it to ten-day-old mice. They later carried out tests on the behavioral habits of the mice in adulthood. They found that the mice could be hyperactive in adulthood, could display behavioural disturbances, and could have lower memory capability compared to the mice that weren't given the dose. "The exposure to and presence of paracetamol during a critical ...

New York (AFP) - The United States is facing an epidemic of herbicide-resistant "superweeds" that some activists and researchers are blaming on GMOs, an accusation rejected by industry giants. According to a recent study, the situation is such that American farmers are "heading for a crisis." Many scientists blame overuse of herbicides, prompted by seeds genetically modified to resist them. "In parts of the country, weeds resistant to the world's most popular herbicide, glyphosate, now grow in the vast majority of soybean, cotton, and corn fields," many of which were planted with seeds resistant to the weedkiller, said the study published in the journal ...

(NaturalNews) Type 2 diabetes is definitely among the more frustrating diseases, in that the conventional treatment model requires constant needle pricks while providing no actual cure. But a growing body of research suggests that regular supplementation with cinnamon could help in thwarting the onset of diabetes, and potentially even provide better relief than mainstream therapies for already-diagnosed diabetics. Most Americans are familiar with cinnamon as a tasty spice used in oatmeal, pumpkin pie, egg nog and a variety of other often holiday dishes. But a recent meta-analysis published in the Journal of Medicinal Food found that cinnamon is also capable of lowering fasting blood ...
