Statins and Muscle Pain: What You Should Know Monday, 30 Dec 2013 09:18 AM During the 1992 Olympics, when track star Derek Redmond hobbled across the finish line of the 400-meter semi-finals, 65,000 spectators cheered. And though his torn hamstring ended his track career, he rebounded and went on to play basketball and rugby! If you are taking a statin and have symptoms of myopathy, or statin-related muscle problems such as hamstring or tendon pain, muscle soreness, cramping, or weakness, alert your doctor. (Around 1.5 million people a year, a small percentage of those taking statins, have such problems.) These symptoms can make it uncomfortable to move, but you can bounce back, just ...
Antidepressant-Induced Liver Injury Underestimated

Medscape...All antidepressant drugs may potentially cause liver injury, even at recommended doses, and some groups are more vulnerable than others, French researchers report. "Antidepressant liver toxicity has been underestimated in the scientific literature," say Gabriel Perlemuter, MD, PhD, from AP-HP Hôpital Bicêtre, Kremlin-Bicêtre, France, and colleagues. In some cases, antidepressant-induced liver injury can be irreversible. Given that there currently is no strategy available to prevent antidepressant-induced liver injury, "early detection and prompt drug discontinuation remain critical," they say. Their research was published online December ...

Israeli researchers crack mechanism behind persistent bacteria JERUSALEM, Dec. 29 (Xinhua) -- Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem said that they have made a major breakthrough in deciphering the mechanism by which some bacteria are able to survive antibacterial treatment. While some bacteria achieve resistance to antibiotics through mutation, other types, known as "persistent bacteria," continue to exist in a dormant state while exposed to medication, and resume their detrimental activity when the treatment is over. Scientists have identified the villain as the bacteria's naturally occurring toxin HipA, but so far have been unable to explain how it triggers ...
Eating at a slow speed may help reduce hunger

WASHINGTON, Dec. 30 (Xinhua) -- Eating at a slow speed may help reduce hunger, U.S. researchers said Monday. Previous research suggests that the ability to control energy intake may be affected by the speed at which we eat, and a high eating rate may impair the relationship between the sensory signals and processes that regulate how much we eat. In order to learn more about the link between eating speed and energy intake, researchers at the Texas Christian University examined how eating speed affects calories consumed during a meal in both normal weight subjects as well as overweight or obese subjects. In the new study, a group of normal-weight subjects and a group of overweight or ...

Did your grandparents have food allergies? Mine sure didn’t. A stark comparison to the growing epidemic of food allergies, worsening with every generation. So why did your grandparents not have food allergies? It’s really quite simple… 1) They ate seasonal real food. Food came from farms and small markets in the early 1900′s, and because food preservatives were not widely used yet, food was fresh. Because of the lack of processed food, their diets were nutrient dense allowing them to get the nutrition they needed from their food. For babies, breast milk was valued and it was always in season. 2) They didn’t diet, and play restrictive games with their body and ...

Hope for Chronic Pain: Relief Without Addiction Friday, 27 Dec 2013 09:48 AM By John Bachman and Nick Tate Melanie Rosenblatt, M.D., has seen it all too often: A patient is prescribed painkillers for a chronic condition or injury and ends up dependent on highly addictive opiate drugs. But Dr. Rosenblatt, who is featured in a new Discovery Channel documentary called "Pain Matters," says it doesn't have to be this way. Chronic and debilitating pain, which strikes millions of Americans, can be managed safely without the long-term use of addictive painkillers. New alternatives to opiate drugs — including injections, implants, and non-medical physical therapies can all ...

LANZHOU, Dec. 27 (Xinhua) -- Health authorities in northwest China's Gansu Province said late Friday that they are investigating a new infant death linked to hepatitis B vaccination, the 11th such case in the country since November.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - The dietary supplements glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate might slow joint damage for people with mild arthritis in their knees, according to a new study. Previous research on the effectiveness of the supplements has been mixed, so experts remain divided on what the findings of this latest study mean for people with knee osteoarthritis, in which wear and tear over time damages the cartilage that lines the joints. Among more than 30 parts of the knee joint measured in the new study, a handful differed between people who took the supplements and those who didn't over the course of two years. The results could also be seen as an indication the supplements do not ...

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - One of the most common types of knee surgery performed in the U.S. is no more effective than fake surgery, at least for the first year, according to a new study. The new evidence should give doctors pause before they try to repair the meniscus, which cushions the bones of the knee, according to the Finnish doctors behind the research published in the New England Journal of Medicine. The experiment involved 146 volunteers whose knee pain appeared to be caused by wear and tear of that cushion. None of the participants had a recognized injury or osteoarthritis, both situations for which the surgery is already known to be ineffective. After 12 months, the ...

Local, se Struggling with the dark this time of year? Put down the coffee and put on the blue light, Swedish scientists say. Swedes drink more coffee than almost any other nationality in the world - but they have now found a better way to stay alert. Exposure to blue light can increase your cognitive function and make you more alert - more so than coffee would, new research shows. The study was carried out at The National Winter Sport Center at the Mid Sweden University (Mittuniversitetet) and was done on a small scale, but demonstrated clear results. "There is a possibility blue light could be used in various work-related situations which demand awakeness," said Martyn ...

Beware of this food label SCAM (hidden calories, sugar, and TOXIC ingredients)

When it comes to food labels, manufacturers are very good at finding the loopholes in labeling laws and requirements, and subsequently very good at pulling the wool over YOUR eyes. One such loophole is the manufacturer's ability to claim "zero" grams of fat, or zero grams of trans fat, or zero calories on the label, when in fact the product does indeed contain plenty of fat, trans fat, and/or calories. Here's the law, and how food manufacturers get around it: Zero grams of fat or zero grams of trans fat: As long as the food item has less than .5g of fat or trans fat, respectively, the label does not need to claim their existence on the label. In fact, the product can ...

Ractopamine: The Meat Additive Banned Almost Everywhere But America December 24, 2013 | 43,982 views Visit the Mercola Video Library By Dr. Mercola Meat—and beef in particular—is a mainstay of the traditional American dinner. Unfortunately, the vast majority of it is filled with harmful additives of one form or another, and is raised in such a way that it contributes to the degeneration of health... This is no minor concern, as most of the animals are also fed genetically engineered feed that is loaded with the potent herbicide glyphosate that winds up in your body. I am so convinced of the cumulative harms of consuming meat from animals raised in confined animal feeding ...

The Weston A. Price Foundation received dozens of inquiries about this statement and it is for this reason that we have devoted much of this issue to the subject of cod liver oil. Mercola’s official pronouncement is a strange mixture of true statements and illogical sequelae, conflicting reasoning and unexplained omissions. While it is ...
