"Restricted blood flow to the baby can occur when the mother lies on her back or right side for long periods." Women who go to sleep on their left side on the last night of their pregnancy have a halved risk of late stillbirth compared with women who do not, according to findings from The University of Auckland published on bmj.com today. The research, funded by Cure Kids, is the first stillbirth case control study in the world to look at maternal sleeping patterns. Results showed that the absolute risk of late stillbirth for women who went to sleep on their left was 1.96 per 1,000 compared with 3.93 per 1,000 for those who slept in any other position.

Fifty years after the discovery of stem cells, international researchers are meeting to take stock of the potential to harness the cells to regenerate tissues such as blood, skin, nerves and bone. More than 3,500 stem cell researchers from around the world gathered Wednesday in Toronto — the birthplace of the discovery of the cells — to discuss emerging science in the field. James Till and the late Ernest McCulloch of the University of Toronto discovered stem cells 50 years ago. The cells have the unique property of being able to become any type of cell in the body. Dr. James Till, left, and the late Dr. Ernest McCulloch's groundbreaking stem cell advance happened in 1961 ...
Magic mushrooms could have medical benefits, researchers say

The hallucinogen in magic mushrooms may no longer just be for hippies seeking a trippy high. Researchers at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine have been studying the effects of psilocybin, a chemical found in some psychedelic mushrooms, that's credited with inducing transcendental states. Now, they say, they've zeroed in on the perfect dosage level to produce transformative mystical and spiritual experiences that offer long-lasting life-changing benefits, while carrying little risk of negative reactions. The breakthrough could speed the day when doctors use psilocybin--long viewed skeptically for its association with 1960s countercultural thrill-seekers--for a range of ...

You can lower your risk of heart disease significantly, just by using flour containing 40 per cent lupin beans in the place of conventional wholemeal flour, according to research by Victoria University dietitian Dr Regina Belski and colleagues from the University of Western Australia. Over the course of a year, working with the Centre for Food and Genomic Medicine in Perth, the researchers monitored more than 100 overweight, but otherwise healthy, Western Australian men and women to whom they provided everyday foods made either with wholemeal flour or incorporating lupin flour. “Consuming lupin flour lowered blood pressure and reduced the risk of heart disease,” she said. ...

Sleep well and kill cancer at the same time

Sleep Well and kill Cancer at the Same Time As you may have experienced, getting a good night’s sleep gets tougher as you age. Worse, the chances of getting cancer go up dramatically the older we get. Are these two problems related? New research suggests they are. And there may be one simple and easy way to deal with both of them. It has to do with the hormone melatonin. Yes, I know. Everyone thinks of melatonin simply as a sleep aid. But there’s much more to it than that. Your brain produces melatonin in the pineal gland in response to darkness. Not long after you turn out the lights, your brain starts to release melatonin and you will begin to fall asleep. But that’s not ...
Is your grocery store killing you?

Is your grocery store killing you? Bob Dylan was right — the times are changing. And unlike the old days, the grocery store is fast becoming the most dangerous place you can go. First, they took out the natural nutrients in our food and added “preservative” chemicals. Then they contaminated our dairy and meats with synthetic hormones. And now it’s “Frankenfoods.” These are foods they have genetically modified. We’ve never seen anything like them on the planet before. It makes you wonder if there will be anything decent to eat at all in the next few decades. Just recently AquaBounty Technologies “created” a new breed of Atlantic salmon. They ...
Testosterone spray boosts memory in older women

“...women have far less testosterone and double the rate of dementia, hence the thought that maybe testosterone protects memory.” A new Monash study has revealed testosterone spray improves memory in menopausal women. Dr Sonia Davison from Monash University’s Women’s Health program led the study and said the results could form the basis of a new therapy to slow cognitive decline and reduce dementia in women. “Memory loss is one of the warning signs of dementia,” Dr Davison said. “As women age their testosterone levels decrease, reaching a low at age 65, which also happens to be the age at which dementia incidence begins to climb.” “Compared ...

While it's important to pay greater attention to the differing healthcare needs between men and women, this is probably not the primary incentive behind the watershed increase in drugs being developed specifically for women. Prescription statistics show that American women use nearly 65 percent more drugs, on average, than men—making them a more lucrative market for the drug companies... According to the featured report, drug- and biotech companies are currently testing or awaiting FDA approval for more than 850 different drugs for diseases that "disproportionately affect American women." These diseases include: Breast- and ovarian cancer Arthritis/musculoskeletal ...

WASHINGTON - The US government on Friday added formaldehyde, a substance found in plastics and other commonly used products, to a list of known carcinogens and warned that the chemical styrene might cause cancer. In a report prepared for the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), scientists warned that people with higher exposure to formaldehyde were more at risk for nasopharyngeal cancer, myeloid leukaemia and other cancers. "There is now sufficient evidence from studies in humans to show that individuals with higher measures of exposure to formaldehyde are at increased risk for certain types of rare cancers ...," the Report on Carcinogens said. ...
E.coli And Radiation - Surprise! Surprise!

That European e.coli may have been genetically engineered. But there is no question it is doing what serves the interests of industrial agriculture and the food industry. It has created a rationale ("whether real or promulgated") government officials to come forward on behalf of corporate interests with a "solution" that fresh food be irradiated. And in the words of Gomer Pyle, "Surprise! Surprise!" - they are doing just that. Henry Kissinger spoke of the advantages to those interested in controlling things "if [people] were told that there was an outside threat from beyond, whether real or promulgated, that threatened our very existence ..."

Burzynski, the Movie is the story of a medical doctor and Ph.D biochemist named Dr. Stanislaw Burzynski who won the largest, and possibly the most convoluted and intriguing legal battle against the Food and Drug Administration in American history. In the 1970’s, Dr. Burzynski made a remarkable discovery that threatened to change the face of cancer treatment forever. His non-toxic gene-targeted cancer medicine could have helped save millions of lives over the last two decades had his discovery not been criminally suppressed by the US government, as his therapy, called “antineoplastons,” have been shown to effectively help cure some of the most “incurable” forms of ...
Deadly Fungus Strikes Joplin Tornado Survivors, Volunteers

The Greene County (Mo.) Health Department has issued a memo to health care workers who are treating injured victims of May's deadly Joplin tornado, warning them that a powerful fungus has infected patients' wounds. The Springfield News-Leader reports as many as nine cases have been reported in tornado victims across the area in various hospitals. Once the aggressive fungus -- called zygomycosis -- enters the body, it causes the death of infected cells. Three or four patients, who otherwise would have survived their wounds, have died from it. If the fungus stays in a limb, like an arm or leg, some treatments have necessitated amputation to save the patient. Others with wounds near ...

FDA finally admits chicken meat contains cancer-causing arsenic (but keep eating it, yo!) After years of sweeping the issue under the rug and hoping no one would notice, the FDA has now finally admitted that chicken meat sold in the USA contains arsenic, a cancer-causing toxic chemical that's fatal in high doses. But the real story is where this arsenic comes from: It's added to the chicken feed on purpose!Even worse, the FDA says its own research shows that the arsenic added to the chicken feed ends up in the chicken meat where it is consumed by humans. So for the last sixty years, American consumers who eat conventional chicken have been swallowing arsenic, a known ...

BANGKOK, June 10 (Xinhua) -- Avocados imported from the European Union have been found to be contaminated with E.coli but it is not known yet if it is the same deadly strain that has claimed 27 lives in Europe, Food and Drug Administration said Friday. A preliminary lab test at the Department of Medical Sciences showed on June 3 that samples of avocados imported from Spain were contaminated with E.coli bacteria. Dr. Pipat Yingseri, Director General of FDA, said it would take three to five days of further testing to confirm if they belong to the highly toxic O104 strain. The test result would become clear on June 13. Meanwhile, Public Health Minister Jurin Laksanavisit urged the public ...

Buckwheat - a real taste of Russia. is widely thought that buckwheat was taken to Russia from Greece. Buckwheat translates into Russian as 'grechka' which sounds like Greece. However, many Europeans do not even know about the existence of this cereal grain. In Russia, it is an extremely popular meal that every Russian eats on a regular basis. It is impossible to imagine the Russian cuisine without buckwheat. Grechka has even become one of the symbols of Russian national peculiarity. Unfortunately, the year 2011 is not a good year for those who like buckwheat. The Russian harvest of this grain was much poorer than before because of the hot summer of 2010. Many Russian agricultural ...
Drug primes heart to repair itself

A drug that makes hearts repair themselves has been used in research on mice. The damage caused by a heart attack had previously been considered permanent. But a study in the journal Nature showed the drug, thymosin beta 4, if used in advance of a heart attack, was able to "prime" the heart for repair. The British Heart Foundation described repair as the "holy grail of heart research", but said any treatment in humans was years away. Due to advances in health care the number of people dying from coronary heart disease is falling. But those living with heart failure are on the rise - more than 750,000 people have the condition in the UK alone. Wake up The ...

WASHINGTON -- Industry regulators have known for years that Roundup, the world's best-selling herbicide produced by U.S. company Monsanto, causes birth defects, according to a new report released Tuesday. The report, "Roundup and birth defects: Is the public being kept in the dark?" found regulators knew as long ago as 1980 that glyphosate, the chemical on which Roundup is based, can cause birth defects in laboratory animals. But despite such warnings, and although the European Commission has known that glyphosate causes malformations since at least 2002, the information was not made public. Instead regulators misled the public about glyphosate's safety, according to ...

VIDEO Smoking cigarettes is the cause of so much preventable, deadly disease. But now new research shows sitting for long stretches of time may be just as dangerous. “Smoking certainly is a major cardiovascular risk factor and sitting can be equivalent in many cases,” explained Dr. David Coven. Dr. Coven is a cardiologist. He says several new studies show prolonged sitting is now being linked to increased risk of heart disease, obesity, diabetes, cancer, and even early death. “The fact of being sedentary causes factors to happen in the body that are very detrimental,” said Dr. Coven. Dr. Coven says when you sit for long periods of time; your body goes into storage ...

Whenever justice is uncertain and police spying and terror are at work, human beings fall into isolation, which, of course, is the aim and purpose of the dictator state, since it is based on the greatest accumulation of depotentiated social units. ~ Carl Jung The title of this article encompasses topics that arouse attention and criticism among persons of libertarian persuasion. The discussion of such matters usually treats each issue as though it were sui generis, independent of one another. Most of us respond as though the woman who is groped at the airport has no connection with the man who is tasered by a police officer; that the person serving time in prison for selling marijuana is ...
More toxic herbs/food hits China markets due to cost cutting

An estimated 200 tons of herbal chrysanthemums contaminated by a banned toxic chemical has entered the market, cnr.cn reported Thursday. The herbal flower, which is often used by Chinese in tea and medicine, is believed to have been dried with sulfur dioxide, a prohibited preservative that can cause sickness. Dubbed China's herbal town, Yangma County in Jiangsu province produces 2,000 tons of chrysanthemums each year. It is suspected 200 tons of the herb are contaminated. Using the chemical, which was banned in 2005, in the drying process makes the herb sour and weakens its effect which could lead to poisoning. "Farmers using sulfur-drying methods can make more profit, saving ...
