Medscape... Editors' Recommendations Addiction a Brain Disease, ASAM Says Substance Abuse and Addiction News & Perspectives Hypersexuality, commonly known as sexual addiction, may not be true addiction after all, new brain imaging research suggests. Investigators found that brain response to sexual images was associated with the participants' level of sexual desire and "not in any way" to the severity of their hypersexuality. Electroencephalography (EEG) measures showed that while viewing these images, a group of men and women who had reported having sexual problems had P300 responses (brain responses 300 milliseconds after each picture appeared) that were ...

Medscape: COLUMBIA, South Carolina— Drinking more than four cups of coffee per day does more than increase the risk of the jitters, a new study suggests[1]. Researchers report that heavy coffee consumption, defined as more than 28 cups of coffee per week, is associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality among men. For men and women 55 years of age and younger, the association between heavy coffee consumption and all-cause mortality is more pronounced. Dr Chip Lavie "Typically, people have been concerned that coffee could be unhealthy, particularly caffeine," Dr Chip Lavie (Ochsner Medical Center, New Orleans, LA), one of the study authors, told heartwire . ...

Aug. 14, 2013 — Gut microbes have recently been linked to colorectal cancer, but it has not been clear whether and how they might cause tumors to form in the first place. Two studies published by Cell Press on August 14th in the journal Cell Host & Microbe reveal how gut microbes known as fusobacteria, which are found in the mouth, stimulate bad immune responses and turn on cancer growth genes to generate colorectal tumors. The findings could lead to more effective strategies for the early diagnosis, prevention, and treatment. "Fusobacteria may provide not only a new way to group or describe colon cancers but also, more importantly, a new perspective on how to target ...

Long-term results from a major federal study ease worries about the safety of a hormone-blocking drug that can lower a man's chances of developing prostate cancer. The drug cut prostate cancer risk by 30 percent without raising the risk of dying of an aggressive form of the disease as earlier results hinted it might. The new work could prompt a fresh look at using the drug for cancer prevention. Experts say it could prevent tens of thousands of cases each year, saving many men from treatments with seriously unpleasant side effects. The drug is sold as Proscar by Merck & Co. and in generic form as finasteride to treat urinary problems from enlarged prostates. It's also sold ...

Medscape: Occupational cancer has become the leading cause of compensated work-related deaths in Canada, according to a new report. Since 1997, the number of compensated claims for occupational cancer deaths has dramatically increased and now surpasses those for traumatic injuries. This trend, note the authors, appears to be most "notable" in the province of Ontario, where occupational cancer deaths surpass those for traumatic injury 2 to 1. The study is published online in CMAJ Open. This may not even be the full picture. "Although the number of accepted claims for deaths from occupational cancers has increased in recent years, these claims still only represent a ...

This week's DEA bombshell shows us how the drug war and the terror war have poisoned our justice system So the paranoid hippie pot dealer you knew in college was right all along: The feds really were after him. In the latest post-Snowden bombshell about the extent and consequences of government spying, we learned from Reuters reporters this week that a secret branch of the DEA called the Special Operations Division – so secret that nearly everything about it is classified, including the size of its budget and the location of its office — has been using the immense pools of data collected by the NSA, CIA, FBI and other intelligence agencies to go after American citizens for ...

PressTV... American researchers have pinpointed higher blood-sugar levels play significant role in increasing the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. While the disease is seen more in diabetes, the new study tried to explore how blood sugar was associated with the mind-robbing disease. The study researchers examined blood sugar in all sorts of people, with and without diabetes, to find the link, according to the paper published in The New England Journal of Medicine. From among 2067 members, some patients had Type 2 diabetes when the study began, but most did not have the disease. None had dementia. Over the course of the study (nearly seven years), the results unraveled that ...

Strolling across the moonlit hospital compound, I was puzzling over how a woman had lost all five of her babies to a mysterious death, each time within days of their birth. Any day now she was about to have number six and so her northern village elders had sent her to my 40-bed hospital in the middle of the jungle island that is Tanna. Was there some genetic defect? Perhaps a bleeding disorder or was this, as some of the nurses had speculated, the unthinkable. Did I have a mass murderess in my over-crowded hospital? Suddenly, without warning, I felt a horrific blow to my lower back. I had been shot. I fell to my knees in pain so excruciating that first I was afraid I was going to die, ...

In the first half of Thursday's show, Dr. Sherri Tenpenny talked about alternative medicine, viruses, and the hazards of vaccines. Regarding the coronavirus MERS (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome) which has killed 40 some people, "I think the CDC and the World Health Organization are just absolutely combing the world for their next pandemic. They did the same thing with hyping up the death rates and making us all terrified about SARS, the bird flu, and then the swine flu," she remarked. Their reports, she argued, suffer from sample bias, where only the sickest go the hospital, but millions are infected with the virus but never even get sick enough to go to a doctor. Tenpenny ...

Over the last year, I have been working on a new documentary called "Weed." The title "Weed" may sound cavalier, but the content is not. I traveled around the world to interview medical leaders, experts, growers and patients. I spoke candidly to them, asking tough questions. What I found was stunning. Long before I began this project, I had steadily reviewed the scientific literature on medical marijuana from the United States and thought it was fairly unimpressive. Reading these papers five years ago, it was hard to make a case for medicinal marijuana. I even wrote about this in a TIME magazine article, back in 2009, titled "Why I would Vote No on Pot." ...

INDIANAPOLIS - Heroin has made a big comeback in Indianapolis and officials fear the drug is taking lives across the city at an alarming rate. Because of the city’s intersecting network of interstates, officers with the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department said that Indianapolis has become the heroin hub for the Mexican drug cartels. Indiana State Police said heroin was the second most widely purchased drug by undercover officers, second only to marijuana. The surge in heroin use has been fueled by the increase in cost of prescription drugs. The price of heroin has not only declined, but the purity has increased to dangerous levels. A survey by IMPD revealed eight ...

In a well-orchestrated attack that should fool no one, and that as usual occurs late in the week as people leave for their weekends, Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) has re-introduced his previously lapsed and ill-fated bill, the "Dietary Supplement Labeling Act" (then S.1310, and now as S.1425), in yet another attempt to shut down the dietary-supplement industry through a series of gradually suffocating laws, rules, and regulations that will do not one ounce of good but will instead price supplements out of the reach of poor and lower-income persons, at least of those supplements that remain should his bill be enacted. After the media assault by Dr. Offit with ...

(NaturalNews) Monsanto's infamous Roundup contains the hotly debated compound called glyphosate. This merciless herbicide is also found in 750 or more U.S. products. An herbicide like this infiltrates the landscape and accumulates in mammals, especially bone, hindering cellular detoxification along the way.A destroyer, glyphosate annihilates a plant's building blocks of life, tearing apart amino acids. By disrupting the "shikimate pathway" in plants and microorganisms, glyphosate creeps inside leaves and stalk, raping natural life processes. Glyphosate also destroys the beneficial microorganism in the human gut, destroying the human immune system.To make matters worse, ...
