By Dr. Mercola Scientists have long tried to tease out the purpose of sleep, and countless studies have concluded that sleep is deeply interconnected with your health in a myriad of ways. As just one example, previous research has found that sleep deprivation has the same effect on your immune system as physical stress or illness.1 Quite simply, even if you do everything else right, if you don’t sleep enough, your health and well-being will still suffer. You may even die prematurely, should poor sleep plague you long-term. Now, researchers at the University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC) Center for Translational Neuromedicine believe they may have discovered yet another clue ...

Science Daily Oct. 30, 2013 — Blueberries are called a "superfood" for their high polyphenol content, but when served as warm, gooey pie filling or when lending bursts of sweet flavor to a muffin, their "super" health benefits change. Scientists studied how cooking and baking affect the increasingly popular fruit's polyphenols and reported their mixed findings -- levels of some of these substances rose while others fell -- in ACS' Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry. Ana Rodriguez-Mateos and colleagues note that eating blueberries is associated with several health perks including improved thinking, reduced risk for heart disease and reduced ...
Progress in Cardiology? A Sober Second Look

A rule: The first step in the practice of medicine is seeing the problem. What follows is a post I wrote on the way home from the American College of Cardiology meeting this spring. It has sat on my desktop since then, blinking at me periodically, but never published. It was too negative. Something would come along to get cardiology out if its rut, I thought. Then I read Dr Abraham Verghese's review of Eugene Braunwald and the Rise of Modern Medicine. Considering the history of cardiology's achievements in the past two decades only accentuates our current-day doldrums. Dr Braunwald led cardiology during a golden age of innovation. It's worth looking back a few years to ...

Obamacare Flimflam Exploited Gullible Voters Wednesday, 30 Oct 2013 09:09 AM By Peter Morici Twitter @pmorici1 Outrage about the HealthCare.gov website and millions losing health plans should scare the wits out of liberals. With enough money, the morass can be fixed, but it lay bare the limits of tax and spend to buy voter allegiance. The liberal formula is quite simple. Target a few Americans to soak and pander to the basic instincts of the masses. President Obama's favorite mark is wealthy Americans who benefited most from recent economic growth. Characterize them as undeserving and exploitive — disdainfully he expounds their claim they did it with hard work, leaving his ...

New Device Lowers Hard-to-Treat Blood Pressure Tuesday, 29 Oct 2013 01:05 PM Boston Scientific Corp. (BSX)’s Vessix hypertension treatment significantly lowered blood pressure levels in patients with a hard-to-treat form of the condition that doesn’t respond well to drug therapy, a study found. The treatment, which silences overactive nerves in the renal arteries that contribute to hypertension, reduced systolic blood pressure by 24.6 millimeters of mercury after six months. The benefit grew with time, yielding a 29.6 mm/Hg reduction after a year, the study presented yesterday at the Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics conference in San Francisco found. Boston ...

ScienceDaily: Oct. 28, 2013 — While it's been known for over a century that iron deposits in the brain play a role in the pathology of Multiple Sclerosis (MS), new imaging research from Western University (London, Canada) helps to answer the question of whether these accumulations are a cause or consequence of the disease. The study led by Ravi Menon, PhD, of the Robarts Research Institute found iron deposits in deep gray matter, suggesting the accumulation occurs very early in the disease course. The researchers also found evidence casting further doubt on the controversial liberation therapy for MS. The research is in early publication online in Multiple Sclerosis and Related ...

ScienceDaily Oct. 28, 2013 — n a pair of landmark studies that exploit the genetic sequencing of the “missing link” cold virus, rhinovirus C, scientists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have constructed a three-dimensional model of the pathogen that shows why there is no cure yet for the common cold. Writing today (Oct. 28, 2013) in the journal Virology, a team led by UW-Madison biochemistry Professor Ann Palmenberg provides a meticulous topographical model of the capsid or protein shell of a cold virus that until 2006 was unknown to science. Rhinovirus C is believed to be responsible for up to half of all childhood colds, and is a serious complicating factor for ...
Obamacare Sticker Shock

Obamacare Sticker Shock by Stephen Lendman Obama sold smoke and mirrors. He makes used car salesmen look respectable by comparison. His Affordable Care Act (ACA) provides unaffordable coverage. Millions of households have to pay 40% or more out-of-pocket. It's for co-pays and deductibles. It's on top of costly premiums. Coverage for 50-year-olds making $46,100 is $10,585. Co-pays and deductibles add up to another $6,250. Healthcare in America is double its cost in other developed countries. It's increasingly less affordable. Little is done to constrain annual price hikes. It wasn't always this way. A previous article explained. In 1960, healthcare as a percent of GDP ...
The Website is Fixable, Obamacare Isn’t

Since Obamacare made its debut, discussions have focused on Ted Cruz’ efforts to defund the law and the shockingly bad functionality of the Website itself. Fortunately for Obama, polling indicates that Senator Cruz has lost, at least for now, the battle for hearts and minds. The President has not been nearly so lucky on the technological front. If current trends continue, the rollout may go down as the worst major product launch in history. But given the government’s enormous resources, it’s safe to say that the site itself will ultimately be fixed. But when it is finally up and running, the plan’s many deeper, and more intractable, flaws will come into focus. ...
Obama administration knew millions could not keep their health insurance

President Obama repeatedly assured Americans that after the Affordable Care Act became law, people who liked their health insurance would be able to keep it. But millions of Americans are getting or are about to get cancellation letters for their health insurance under Obamacare, say experts, and the Obama administration has known that for at least three years. Four sources deeply involved in the Affordable Care Act tell NBC News that 50 to 75 percent of the 14 million consumers who buy their insurance individually can expect to receive a “cancellation” letter or the equivalent over the next year because their existing policies don’t meet the standards mandated by the new ...

Dr. Jeffrey Lieberman of Columbia University, speaking to you today for Medscape. I would like to comment on an article that recently appeared in JAMA Psychiatry,[1] formerly known as the Archives of General Psychiatry. This article appeared online at the end of August. The authors were a group of investigators led by Dr. Arifulla Khan of the Clinical Research Center in Bellevue, Washington, who, through a Freedom of Information Act request, obtained data from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) about psychotropic drugs that were evaluated from 1991 to 2011. The psychotropic drugs of interest were those used to treat schizophrenia; bipolar disorder; depression; and other conditions, ...
Daily aspirin not recommended for healthy people

PressTV A new study has warned healthy people not to take aspirin on their own in the hope of reducing risk of a heart attack, stroke and even some cancers. Though daily aspirin therapy may lower risk of heart attack, it is not recommended for everyone even the health people around 50s who consume daily aspirin to have its benefits, new study emphasized. The study was conducted by the NHS National Institute for Health Research in collaboration with Warwick Medical School in England. The research led the experts to consider the daily aspirin therapy a “fine balance” of risks and benefits while the drug raises risk of bleeding in the brain and stomach. "It would be lovely ...

Top seven natural cures for cancer that got buried by the FDA, AMA, CDC Sunday, October 27, 2013 by: S. D. Wells (NaturalNews) How do you keep the spread of cancer "growing"? Bury the cure. How do you keep 1.5 million Americans "infested" yearly with mutated cells that multiply uncontrollably? You breed cancer in food and medicine. How many years ago did America start this evil strategy to make people sick and deny them the cure? Nearly 100 years. Where did it all really start? The American Medical Association (AMA) and a man named Morris Fishbein, who single-handedly removed nutrition from medical schools in the U.S. and installed a fake seal of approval for harmful ...

Obamacare Fallout by Stephen Lendman Obama's signature program is rife with inequities. It makes a dysfunctional system worse. It rations healthcare. It's unaffordable. It leaves millions uninsured. It leaves millions more underinsured. It compromises privacy. A little noticed disclaimer states: "You have no reasonable expectation of privacy regarding any communication or data transmitting or stored on this information system." Medical privacy rights are violated. NSA and other US spy agencies will have full access to Americans' medical history. They have lots more than that. More information below.

Consumers Abandoning Healthcare.gov by Stephen Lendman Can you blame them? According to Digital Trends (DT), "more than $500 million" was spent creating "the digital equivalent of a rock." DT's source is the General Accounting Office (GAO). Most spending went for contracts, saying: "CMS (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services) data indicated that the agency spent almost $394 million from fiscal year 2010 through March 31, 2013, through contracts to complete activities to establish the FFEs and the data hub and carry out certain other exchange-related activities."

Science Daily{ Oct. 25, 2013 — Experts from the Houston Methodist Cancer Center address some of the common misconceptions about how cancer spreads. Can getting a biopsy spread cancer? Internet rumors have been circulating for years linking needle biopsies to spreading cancer. There is no evidence that a needle biopsy, a procedure used to diagnose many types of cancer, causes the cells to spread. "Needle biopsies of early-onset lesions in the breast, thyroid or lung allow us to diagnose cancer often before it has spread," said Dr. Eric Bernicker, medical oncologist at Houston Methodist Cancer Center. "A needle biopsy can help your physician determine whether you have ...
