Patient... Allergies and intolerances are on the rise, particularly towards foodstuffs. Over four in ten adults in the UK are affected. But if you suspect you have an allergy or intolerance, how can you go about finding out what the culprit is? Unfortunately the NHS offers a limited number of allergy tests. Tests can be obtained privately but an internet search for 'allergy test' will yield over one million results, many which lead to quite expensive options. But are any of these worth pursuing? We take a look at the evidence. What to do if you think you have an allergy? If you think you have an allergy, the advice from Allergy UK is to start by keeping a food and symptoms diary ...

Kaiser Poll: Most Americans Worry 'Medicare for All' May Raise Taxes (Natalya Buzuevskaya/Dreamstime) Tuesday, 18 June 2019 02:46 PM Most Americans think that ‘Medicare for All’ will drive up income taxes, according to a survey from the Kaiser Family Foundation, ahead of the Democratic presidential debates next week. While health care is a leading topic on the minds of Democrats and left-leaning independents before the debates kick off next Wednesday, 78% of U.S. citizens surveyed across party lines believe that a single payer system, known as Medicare for All, would drive taxes higher, according to the poll. What’s more, most Americans don’t appear to ...
The Importance of Fat

chn... Lipid is chemistry talk for fat, phobia means fear and for decades American consumers have been deluged with lipo-phobic propaganda and low-fat food fad hype. Beginning in the 1950’s, when a University of Minnesota professor named Ancel Keys came up with his “Lipid Hypothesis”, which blamed heart disease on fatty foods, and continuing for over 60 years, dietary fats have been vilified by scientists, academics and medical professionals as causes of obesity, heart attacks and cancer among numerous other health issues. But, despite its insalubrious and unsavory reputation, fat, on the body and in the diet too, is actually an important part of good health. Fat functions ...
Millions of Cardiovascular Deaths Attributed to Not Eating Enough Fruits and Vegetables

TEHRAN (FNA)- Preliminary findings from a new study reveal that inadequate fruit and vegetable consumption may account for millions of deaths from heart disease and strokes each year. The study estimated that roughly 1 in 7 cardiovascular deaths could be attributed to not eating enough fruit and 1 in 12 cardiovascular deaths could be attributed to not eating enough vegetables. Low fruit intake resulted in nearly 1.8 million cardiovascular deaths in 2010, while low vegetable intake resulted in 1 million deaths, according to researchers. Overall, the toll of suboptimal fruit intake was almost double that of vegetables. The impacts were most acute in countries with the lowest average ...

Added Phosphates Lead to Weight Gain By Dr. Oz and Michael Roizen, M.D. Tuesday, 11 June 2019 12:10 PM Phosphate is a compound made from the mineral phosphorus and oxygen. It's an important part of everything from your DNA to your cell membranes, and it's in something called ATP (adenosine triphosphate) that provides energy to cells. But you can end up with too much phosphate in your body for a variety of reasons: excess dietary intake; a deficiency in calcium or magnesium; problems with your thyroid, parathyroid gland, or other hormones; and kidney disease or respiratory problems. Phosphates occur naturally in foods such as fish, pork, tofu, milk, chicken, scallops, ...

Obama Admin Wasted $4 Million Trying To Prove Pollution Helped Make Kids Obese Volume 90% By Ryan Ledendecker Published June 15, 2019 at 2:36pm The Obama administration wasn’t exactly known for their finesse at responsibly spending government money. Study findings released this year on the potential effect of air pollution on childhood obesity proves that point once again. According to The Washington Free Beacon, in 2013, former President Barack Obama’s Environmental Protection Agency awarded a $4,146,875 million grant to the University of Southern California. The grant’s purpose was to fund a five-year study to search for a link between “near-roadway ...
Chemotherapy may spread cancer and trigger more aggressive tumours, warn scientists

Chemotherapy could allow cancer to spread, and trigger more aggressive tumours, a new study suggests. Researchers in the US studied the impact of drugs on patients with breast cancer and found medication increases the chance of cancer cells migrating to other parts of the body, where they are almost always lethal. Around 55,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer in Britain every year and 11,000 will die from their illness. Many are given chemotherapy before surgery, but the new research suggests that, although it shrinks tumours in the short term, it could trigger the spread of cancer cells around the body.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas — Roughly 300 Congolese and Angolan citizens who arrived in San Antonio the first week of June after crossing the U.S.-Mexico border days earlier have all briskly departed the city for destinations across the country, some with fuzzy plans based partly on hope. The hundreds of family members and single adults from Central Africa first showed up June 4 at the southern border’s Eagle Pass and Del Rio towns in south-central Texas. The migrants surrendered to Border Patrol agents and claimed asylum after crossing the Rio Grande. The agency did not, as it is supposed to, turn families over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Instead, it released families onto ...

Here’s what marijuana actually does to your body and brain Erin Brodwin, Julia Naftulin 6/2/2019 Slide 1 of 27: Marijuana's official designation in the US as a Schedule 1 drug - something with "no currently accepted medical use" - means it has been pretty tough to study. Despite that, a growing body of research and numerous anecdotal reports link cannabis with several health benefits, including pain relief and the potential to help with certain forms of epilepsy. In addition, researchers say there are many other ways marijuana might affect health that they want to better understand - including a mysterious syndrome that appears to make marijuana users ...

This Is the Most Painful Place to Get Stung by a Bee Emily DiNuzzo 9/2/2018 © plew koonyosying/Shutterstock There isn’t really a good place to get a bee sting. Ideally, it’s best to avoid the painful sting in the first place. If you are a sting victim, however, you might feel better knowing there are places on the body where stings could be more painful than others. Although pain is subjective, Justin Schmidt created a sting index in the 1980s. His Schmidt Sting Pain Index measures the painfulness of stings from 78 different species of insects on a scale of zero to four, according to Discover Magazine. Cornell University graduate student Michael Smith—who studies ...

The Trump administration wants to reassert hegemony over Latin America. Cuba is one of its main targets. Through right wing allies and by its own means it targets Cuba's most successful export program - the provision of Cuban doctors to countries in need of them. In 2002 the Bush administration created a program to train Latin American legal personal to wage a "war on corruption" in their home countries. Back in their countries the U.S. trained people would be fed U.S. intelligence on left wing politicians. It would allow them to launch which [sic] hunts on those the U.S. wanted out of the way. Sérgio Moro, a Brazilian judge, took part in U.S. program. Fed with ...

TEHRAN (FNA)- Intensive radiotherapy can be toxic in 60 percent of patients with tumors located in the gastrointestinal cavity. Increases in levels of the protein URI protect mice against high-dose ionizing radiation-induced gastrointestinal syndrome and enhance mouse intestinal regeneration and survival in 100 percent of the cases. This finding could be useful to mitigate side effects of other sources of intensive radiation, such as nuclear accidents, nuclear warfare or the exposure to cosmic radiation during space explorations. Radiotherapy, a common treatment for cancer, is one of the most effective ways to destroy cancer cells and shrink tumours. Around 50% of patients with tumours ...

chn..."Standard hormone replacement therapy and, so called, "bio identical hormone therapy" are not really advisable. That's because the hormone system is extremely potent and extremely tightly regulated. The body uses hormones and then eliminates hormones really quickly. They are used in the tiniest tiniest amounts; nanograms, billionths of a gram. We take even microgram doses, which are small doses of medicine, relatively speaking, and we are taking hundreds of thousands of times the amount of hormones that are in the bloodstream. " While hormone replacement therapy can mask the symptoms of menopause or andropause, you're basically putting your foot down on the ...

CHN... In an article that was published in October of 2010 in the journal “Psychological Science”, collaborating researchers from Harvard and Columbia Universities found that humans and animals can up-regulate (i.e. stimulate) the production of healing chemicals by intentionally assuming open, wide, spread out expansive positions and postures. For instance, holding the shoulder up and widening the chest muscles for as little as two minutes. In that short period of time, according to the researchers, you can drop your stress hormone levels and increase testosterone and other anabolic building hormones. All this can be done just by holding the body in certain positions. When was ...

MedXpress: Researchers funded by the British Heart Foundation (BHF) have shown that heart 'patches' grown in the lab are safe to move on to trials in people with hearts damaged after a heart attack, in research presented at the British Cardiovascular Society (BCS) Conference in Manchester today. These patches could one day cure debilitating heart failure, which affects an estimated 920,000 people in the UK and is on the rise as more and more people survive a heart attack. Researchers led by Professor Sian Harding at Imperial College London have developed a way to grow thumb-size patches of heart tissue (3cm x 2cm) that contain up to 50 million human stem cells.

I’ve spent 13 of the last 17 months outside the USA, and have no plan or wish to return. I wouldn’t mind an honest cheeseburger now and then, however, but each version I’ve had here has been awful, with the worst something that came in a plastic bag, with the “burger” a brownish orange paste to be squeezed from a packet. Vietnamese pizzas, too, have been gross, with the crust too sweet and rubbery, the toppings scanty and scammy, and the no tomato, no cheese taste desperately jazzed up by squirts of mayonnaise and hot sauce. In downtown Saigon or Hanoi, there are first rate burger and pizza joints, I hear, but I rarely go there. In Osaka, Japan, I did have an ...
