A hernia occurs when an organ or fatty tissue squeezes through a weak spot in a surrounding muscle or connective tissue called fascia. The most common types are inguinal (inner groin), incisional (resulting from an incision), femoral (outer groin), umbilical (belly button), and hiatal (upper stomach). The basics on hernias from the experts at WebMD. In an inguinal hernia, the intestine or the bladder protrudes through the abdominal wall or into the inguinal canal in the groin. About 80% of all hernias are inguinal, and most occur in men because of a natural weakness in this area. In an incisional hernia, the intestine pushes through the abdominal wall at the site of previous abdominal ...

"This documentary catalogs how allopathic medicine established dominance in the early part of the 20th Century, and how natural medicines were arbitrarily banned from the medical profession, despite the basis of this decision being scientifically unsound. The wholesale transition from natural medicines to chemical ones was based on financial and political reasons, at the expense of the patients. This documentary exposes the carnage of the cancer industry, the financial interests that molded it, and why it is so resistant to change. Meanwhile, cancer treatments kill more people every year than any war in U.S. history. Cancer patients with no treatment at all statistically live four ...

Women infected with a common parasite called toxoplasma gondii may be more likely to attempt suicide, a new study suggests. Researchers looked at the health records of more than 45,000 Danish women and concluded that over a 14-year period, women with toxoplasmosis, as infections with the parasite are called, were 53 percent more likely to attempt suicide than their uninfected counterparts. The likelihood of making a suicide attempt increased with the levels of parasite-fighting antibodies, suggesting that the stronger the infection, the larger the risk, the researchers said. The link between the parasite and suicide attempts held when the researchers took into account other factors that ...

"The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of the blessings. The inherent blessing of socialism is the equal sharing of misery." ~ Winston Churchill The Supreme Court has ruled favorably on the Affordable Care Act (ACA), a 2700- page piece of legislation that will certainly raise, not reduce healthcare costs, and only pretends to help Americans live healthier. That the uninsured will now have coverage for their health care bills via government subsidies needs to be stated differently – that hospitals, drug companies and doctors are now assured they will get paid for caring for millions of uninsured Americans. Lobbyists have prevailed in Washington DC once ...

Periodontal Health Is Important for Men, Too! Men already have a lot to worry about when it comes to health; they face shorter life spans, greater risk of heart attacks, and higher rates of cancer than women. One more thing can be added to that list: research shows that periodontal disease is more prevalent in men than women, and men lose more teeth on average than women! Men's periodontal health may be poorer than women's due to their lack of action when it comes to oral hygiene. Research published in the Journal of Periodontology found that women are almost twice as likely as men to have received a regular dental check-up in the past year, and women were more likely than men to ...

Women, Head Games, and The Sensitive Man I've said it before and I'll say it again: modern women don't want a sensitive man. Traditional women didn't want him either. If you become a classic "new age" sensitive man, you'll invite scorn from both sides of the female spectrum. As much as women may say that they are looking for sensitive men, they act in exactly the opposite way: as though they are looking for insensitive men. Have you ever noticed... I mean, really sat down and thought about how women react to emotional situations versus how women expect men to react to those same situations? Women judge the reasonableness of their own reactions based on how ...

Comment Posted by Angela Guss - Thursday, June 28th, 2012 Stress can take a serious toll on our bodies. And it affects everyone in a different way... The American Institute of Stress reports there are 50 common signs and symptoms of stress. Some of these include, frequent headaches, insomnia, increased or decreased appetite and overreaction to petty annoyances. According to a group of Finnish researchers at the University of Kuopio, living a stressful lifestyle may have more long-term effects on our health then just a few sleepless nights. Long-term effects of stress may be the biggest cause of Alzheimer’s disease. Funded by the Alzheimer’s Society in the UK, scientists hope ...

On Tuesday's show, visionary filmmaker and social entrepreneur Kenny Ausubel discussed his journey looking for environmental solutions drawn from nature’s intelligence, and the corrosive civil war between natural and conventional medicine that has led to the suppression of promising therapies. He spoke at length about the saga of Harry Hoxsey, who set up clinics and treated cancer patients with an herbal formula. "It's been called the wildest story in medical history," with Hoxsey being jailed countless times, and engaging in a series of court battles, most of which he won. His last US clinic was closed in 1960, and moved to Tijuana where it still exists. The ...

(NaturalNews) If you have ever doubted the truly satanic essence of the infamous Lady Gaga, then you need look no further than her new perfume, which is expected to debut this fall. According to the Boston Globe and various other sources, the new Gaga scent, known as "Fame," was created using a sample of Gaga's own blood, as well as semen from another unknown donor. The blend apparently also contains a highly-toxic plant extract that is known to kill humans. It could all just be one big demonic publicity stunt to market the ugly black liquid packaged in an alien-like, egg-shaped bottle held by what appear to be slender claws. But several sources confirm that Gaga literally ...

June 29, 2012 — Antibiotics may not prevent infection with implants and third-molar surgery, according to researchers presenting 2 studies at the International Association of Dental Research (IADR) 90th General Session and Exhibition, held in Iguacu Falls, Brazil. In a study on implant placement, researchers found no difference in adverse events whether patients took a placebo or amoxicillin or whether they took the amoxicillin before or after the surgery. In a separate study on third-molar surgery, in which all patients received amoxicillin before surgery, there was no difference between those who also received amoxicillin afterward and those who did not. "Therefore, ...

ScienceDaily (June 29, 2012) — Cognitive skills such as learning and memory diminish with age in everyone, and the drop-off is steepest in Alzheimer's disease. Texas scientists seeking a way to prevent this decline reported exciting results this week with a drug that has Polynesian roots. The researchers, appointed in the School of Medicine at The University of Texas Health Science Center San Antonio, added rapamycin to the diet of healthy mice throughout the rodents' life span. Rapamycin, a bacterial product first isolated from soil on Easter Island, enhanced learning and memory in young mice and improved these faculties in old mice, the study showed. "We made the ...

The bile pigment bilirubin is linked to an increase in antioxidants in the blood, which can protect against cardiovascular damage. The discovery could lead to new drug, dietary or lifestyle methods of preventing heart disease. There's new hope for the fight against cancer and cardiovascular disease, following breakthrough research identifying a pigment in our bile. A fluid produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder, bile's function was simply thought to aid in the digestion process. However, in conjunction with the University of Vienna and the Heart Research Institute in Sydney, Dr Andrew Bulmer from the Griffith Health Institute has found that a pigment in bile called ...

ScienceDaily (June 27, 2012) — The exhaust from diesel-fueled vehicles, wood fires and coal-driven power stations contains small particles of soot that flow out into the atmosphere. The soot is a scourge for the climate but also for human health. Now for the first time, researchers have studied in detail how diesel soot gets stuck in the lungs. The results show that more than half of all inhaled soot particles remain in the body. The figure is higher than for most other types of particles. For example "only" 20 per cent of another type of particle from wood smoke and other biomass combustion gets stuck in the lungs. One explanation is that diesel soot is made up of smaller ...

ScienceDaily (June 28, 2012) — We've all heard that eating fish is good for our brains and memory. But what is it about DHA, an omega-3 fatty acid found in fish, that makes our memory sharper? Researchers with the Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry at University of Alberta discovered a possible explanation and just published their findings in the peer-reviewed journal Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism. Principal investigator Yves Sauve and his team discovered lab models fed a high-DHA diet had 30 per cent higher levels of DHA in the memory section of the brain, known as the hippocampus, when compared to animal models on a regular, healthy diet. "We wanted to ...
Can a genetic switch spice up supermarket tomato?

This Monday, May 30, 2011 photo shows tomatoes on a market table in Vienna, Austria. Using genetics, scientists have been able to dig up the dirt on why homegrown tomatoes taste so much sweeter than the ones in the supermarket. Researchers found a genetic switch responsible for some of the sugar production within a tomato. A study in the Friday, June 29, 2012 issue of the journal Science found that the common type of tomato bred for firmness and good shipping also inadvertently turns off the sugar-producing switch. That makes it less sweet and blander than garden varieties. … WASHINGTON (AP) — Using genetics, scientists have been able to dig up the dirt on why homegrown ...

Important Errors' in USPSTF Report on PSA Testing Reform Needed Among Urologists June 28, 2012 — The US Preventative Services Task Force's (USPSTF's) recent report recommending against routine prostate cancer screening "contained a number of important errors of fact, interpretation, and statistics," according to the authors of an essay published online June 18 in the Journal of Clinical Oncology. Perhaps most important, the USPSTF's characterization of the evidence against screening as being of "moderate or high certainty," and thus deserving of its D rating, is a "critical error," suggest the authors, led by Sigrid Carlsson, MD, PhD, ...

Adding Cholesterol to Diet Reduces Autism Symptoms video to watch Dr. Eugene Arnold of the Ohio State University Medical Center is researching the cholesterol link to Autism. Realizing that our brains are made up of a significant amount of cholesterol, he starts with the assumption that those with Autism may not be suffering from too much cholesterol, but in fact may be suffering from too little. After adding cholesterol to little Rose Barker’s diet, she started smiling, reading, and interacting with others like never before. Her mother comments: “The cholesterol has changed our life. It is exactly what she needed, and the development started almost immediately.”

ATLANTA (AP) — Would you go to a drugstore for an AIDS test? Health officials want to know, and they've set up a pilot program to find out. The $1.2 million project will offer free rapid HIV tests at pharmacies and in-store clinics in 24 cities and rural communities, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced Tuesday. Officials are hoping testing for the AIDS virus will become a routine service at drugstores like blood pressure checks and flu shots. "By bringing HIV testing into pharmacies, we believe we can reach more people by making testing more accessible and reduce the stigma associated with HIV," CDC's Dr. Kevin Fenton said in a statement. He ...
