Alternative remedies can be dangerous for children and even prove fatal if taken instead of conventional drugs, according to a new study. The report warns of possible adverse reactions in youngsters who are given alternative remedies. Researchers say parents sometimes think remedies are "more natural" with fewer side effects than conventional drugs. But in nearly two thirds of the cases the side effects were rated as severe, life threatening or fatal. The study, published in the journal Archives of Disease in Childhood, looked at 39 separate incidents reported to the Australian Paediatric Surveillance Unit between 2001 and 2003. The children ranged from babies to 16 year ...

(NaturalNews) A new Consumer Reports survey has found that the vast majority of patients on prescription drug medications believe that drug companies have too much influence over their doctors. Roughly half of those interviewed believe that their doctors are so influenced by Big Pharma that they would deliberately write a drug prescription even if a better, safer, non-drug option was available.Of the nearly 1,200 patients interviewed, nearly half believe that gifts from drug companies influence which drugs their doctors prescribe. And more than 80 percent believe that drug companies offer incentives to doctors to get them to write more prescriptions.Other concerns include doctors agreeing ...
Placebos work even if patient knows

Placebos work, even when patients are in the know, study finds In what researchers call a novel 'mind-body' therapy, most patients in a study suffering from irritable bowel syndrome reported relief after receiving pills they were told contained no real medicine. A simple sugar pill may help treat a disease — even if patients know they're getting fake medicine. The finding, reported online Wednesday in the journal PloS One, may point the way to wider — and more ethical — applications of the well-known "placebo effect." "The conventional wisdom is you need to make a patient think they're taking a drug; you have to use deception and lies," ...

Angry Haitian mobs have lynched at least 45 people in recent weeks, accusing them of spreading a cholera outbreak that has killed over 2,500 people across the country, officials said Wednesday. The number included at least 14 suspected sorcerers previously known to have been lynched in the far southwestern region of Grand'Anse as local people feared they were spreading cholera with a magical substance. The area has been largely spared by the outbreak. "We have counted 40 people dead in Grand'Anse department alone, where people are attacking natural healers they accuse of cholera-linked witchcraft," said communications ministry official Moise Fritz Evens.

Bills to ban bisphenol A from food containers sit idle in Congress

A toxic food-can lining ingredient which has been shown to cause a number of health ailments is the subject of at least four bills currently stalled in the U.S. House and Senate. John Kerry, Barbara Boxer, Diane Feinstein, and Al Franken are among the Senators who have signed on as cosponsors to ban the product from food containers. Absent entirely from any support for the bills are any 'Tea Party Caucus' representatives. Bisphenol A, or BPA, has been shown in studies to cause birth defects of the male and female reproductive systems, 'permanent changes to genital tract', 'increased aggression at 8 weeks of life', 'increased prostate weight', and ...

VANCOUVER, Dec. 17 (Xinhua) -- Over half of Canadian pet owners think their animals are more reliable than people as nearly all of them talk to their pets on a regular basis, and some even confess their deepest, darkest secrets to their four legged friends. That was the conclusion of a recent survey conducted by Harris/ Decima, Canada's research firm, on behalf of the pet food company Nestle Purina PetCare into the special bond between Canadian pet owners and their animals. The study, which surveyed 1,014 Canadians (of which 781 owned or had owned a cat or dog) found that 53 percent of pet owners, and 59 percent of those between the ages of 45 and 54, find their pets more reliable ...

For the record, my drug use consists of a German white wine called Kabinett. That's it. I don't even use aspirin, because it doesn't work on me. Minimum, I need Tylenol with Codeine, which can legally be bought through the mail from Canada . I'm too lazy to get some. However, unlike Bill Clinton, I did inhale as a teenager, from ages 15 to 17, on weekends. Then I quit. Some years later, I realized my use coincided exactly with that prison known as high school, which drove me so crazy I did little more than daydream in school and party on the weekends. But, I haven't touched the stuff for decades. Except . . . . Last week, as I was walking down a handicapped ramp to ...

A child of twelve was charged with ‘threatening behaviour’ at his school in Bowmanville, East of Toronto last week. The arrest happened when the boy (who cannot be named for legal reasons) threw a tantrum refusing the Hepatitis B vaccine. The National Post reported (http://news.nationalpost.com/2010…) that police were brought into Ross Tilley Public School because the boy had threatened to damage the school. Unfortunately, the report failed to give the reason why the child was refusing the vaccine or what made him so angry. The National Post said: “Officers consulted with the Crown attorney’s office and charged the boy with threatening, a criminal charge police ...

Cycling for health

Cycling is more forgiving and inviting than many other forms of exercise. People turn to it partly because it's not as hard on the knees as running and it's usually more convenient than swimming. Heavier people often do well on bikes because cycling isn't a weight-bearing activity, so there's little penalty for girth. Pedaling a bike strengthens the leg muscles, especially the quadriceps that form the top of the thigh. But for the most part, cycling is an aerobic, not a resistance, workout - the kind of exercise that gets you breathing harder and your heart rate up and pays cardiovascular dividends. The cardiovascular effects of running and cycling are pretty similar, ...

Lurking in the seas of Scotland is an unlikely candidate for a medical breakthrough. But scientists believe the starfish could hold the key to finding a new treatment for inflammatory conditions such as asthma, hay fever and arthritis. The species they are interested in is the spiny starfish (Marthasterias glacialis), and in particular the slimy goo that covers its body. The team says that chemicals in this coating could inspire new medicines. Diver with starfish The spiny starfish can be found on the west coast of Scotland While most man-made structures that are placed in the water rapidly get caked with a mixture of marine life, starfish manage to keep their surface clear.

Cancer Update from Johns Hopkins : 1. Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a few billion. When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable size. 2. Cancer cells occur between 6 ...

Cranberry supplement and juice benefit, side effects research, use for UTI and urinary tract health by Ray Sahelian, M.D. American cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon) is one of only three species of fruit native to North America. The other species are blueberry (Vaccinium angustifolia) and bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus). Cranberry typically grows in bogs and is a member of the same family as blueberry and bilberry. Cranberry is widely used to prevent urinary tract infection (UTI). It was initially believed to function by acidifying urine. However, the mechanism is now thought to be inhibition of adhesion of bacteria to uroepithelial cells by proanthocyanadin, a compound present in ...

When Thomas Edison began wiring New York City with a direct current electricity distribution system in the 1880s, he gave humankind the magic of electric light, heat, and power; in the process, though, he inadvertently opened a Pandora’s Box of unimaginable illness and death. Dirty Electricity tells the story of Dr. Samuel Milham, the scientist who first alerted the world about the frightening link between occupational exposure to electromagnetic fields, electromagnetic pollution, and human disease. Milham takes readers through his early years and education, following the twisting path that led to his discovery that most of the twentieth century diseases of civilization, including ...
