During the height of the Civil War, the Confederate Surgeon General commissioned a guide to traditional plant remedies of the South, as battlefield physicians faced high rates of infections among the wounded and shortages of conventional medicines. A new study of three of the plants from this guide — the white oak, the tulip poplar and the devil’s walking stick — finds that they have antiseptic properties. Scientific Reports is publishing the results of the study led by scientists at Emory University. The results show that extracts from the plants have antimicrobial activity against one or more of a trio of dangerous species of multi-drug-resistant bacteria associated with ...

TEHRAN (FNA)- A new study Finland shows that a moderately high intake of dietary cholesterol or consumption of up to one egg per day is not associated with an elevated risk of stroke. Furthermore, no association was found in carriers of the APOE4 phenotype, which affects cholesterol metabolism and is remarkably common among the Finnish population.

Poster Comment:If Ebola breaks out - it's over: there are not enough doctors and nurses and ICU's in America to contain a breakout of this plague. Incubation period is ~21 days - plenty of time for the Africoons to ship over to Mexico and head north before they exhibit symptons of the plague. Oh, and they will be infecting EVERYBODY they come in contact with ALL THE WAY up north - think about that exponential bit of math.

chn...Ben explains that the Interstitium is "not really a new organ". Rather, a part of the body once thought to be "hard and dense" is actually "filled with fluid and had a bunch of compartments" filled with interstitial fluid. Ben explains that "all disease is cell disease and all cell disease is preceded by dirty blood, but it's really not the dirty blood that's preceding the cell disease. It's the dirty interstitium."

This Is What Fish Oil Supplements Actually Do

For centuries, humans have used fish oils, orally or topically, to treat a wide array of ailments, from aches and pains to rickets and gout. The popularity of this supplement has shifted over the years, as have its primary uses. But over the past couple of decades, the hype around fish oil has arguably reached an all-time high. According to National Institutes of Health statistics, in 2012, at least 18.8 million Americans used about $1.3 billion dollars worth of fish oil, making it the third most widely used supplement in the nation. (Sales reportedly flattened out at about that level around 2013.) Today, many use it because they believe it will broadly help their heart health, but others ...

Latin and Prescriptions

chn... If you’re one of the hundreds of millions of Americans who've gotten a prescription this year, you probably noticed that the text was illegible. And not because of the doctor’s calligraphy. Even typewritten scripts are impossible to understand. That’s because they’re written in Latin. Hmm…now isn’t that interesting. Does your doctor or your pharmacist speak Latin? Probably not. So, what could possibly be the purpose of writing instructions and details for something as important, potent and very dangerous in an ancient language that is not only arcane and inscrutable, but that hasn’t even been spoken commonly for 2000 years? The answer lies in ...
Prescription For Violence: The Corresponding Rise of Antidepressants, SSRIs & Mass Shootings
Post Date: 2019-05-20 09:02:46 by Ada

According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), a mass murder occurs when at least four people are murdered, not including the shooter, over a relatively short period of time during a single incident. Over the last 30 years, the United States has seen a significant increase in mass shootings, which are becoming more frequent and more deadly. Seemingly every time a mass shooting occurs, whether it’s at a synagogue in Pittsburgh or a nightclub in Orlando, the anti-gun media and politicians have a knee-jerk response – they blame the tragedy solely on the tool used, namely firearms, and focus all of their proposed “solutions” on more laws, ignoring that the ...

Can’t figure out what this goofy-sounding language is, but I approve of what they’re doing. I’ve spent most of my life thinking that Jews are the most disgusting vermin on the face of the earth. But lately, all the stuff I’ve been reading about vegans is seriously making me consider them a serious contender. Slowly starving your own children until they’re, at best, hospitalized, just because some other retard told you bacon has feelings… That’s a very high standard of degeneracy. Sputnik: While vegetarians simply abstain from eating meat, vegans go a step further, abstaining from eating all animal-derived food, including meat, eggs, and even dairy ...

Patient...I wanted to share some of my insights and experiences from an incident that happened to me over a year ago, in the hope that someone can benefit from my journey. On April 2nd, 2018 , my right leg was run over by a car twice! (the front and rear driver's side tires). I looked down in horror to find my right leg crushed, flat against the pavement, with a wound about 2 x 5 inches in diameter of skin loss due to the tires removing the skin. Out of nowhere, a neighbor came running up the street, removed his belt, and placed around my knee as a tourniquet ( a life-saving procedure, in the view of the Trauma Surgeons who operated on me). I was taken by ambulance to a hospital ...

How Proper Nutrition Can Increase Sexual Attractiveness

chn....There are 3 main types of hormones that can be distinguished by the speed of their activity, that is, how fast they accomplish their effects. The slowest acting ones, called endocrine hormones travel through the blood starting in structures called glands and accomplish their effects when they reach specific cells. Others called exocrine hormones don’t require a blood highway; rather they are squirted via specialized ducts directly into body cavities like the abdomen or through the skin. The digestive system is especially dependent upon these types of hormones as are the so-called pheromones, chemicals of sexual attraction that are secreted cutaneously (of the skin) into the ...

It’s also not a new idea that our physical surroundings may weigh on our mental health as well. Back in the 1930s, two ...
Naturally Leverage Skin's Inherent Healing and Renewing Capacity

Skin Everyone wants great skin. We are bombarded daily by advertisements and marketing proclamations that claim to deliver it. The skin care industry is a 10 billion dollar business made up mostly of products containing oils and waxes, solvents, emulsifiers and chemical ingredients that allow for the creation of cosmetic commodities that modify the superficial appearance of the skin, without actually creating real changes. Yet skin is naturally dynamic and normally regenerates itself on daily, weekly and monthly basis. It is the quintessential renewing organ and this assures a constant supply of youthful, healthy tissue. Within 4-8 weeks old skin cells have been completely replaced. This ...
Can exercise really help with depression?

Patient... If you're dealing with depression or anxiety, you're probably aware of the recommendation to be more active. With our minds and bodies powerfully connected, physical activity can have an immediate impact on a person's overall sense of well-being. This is due in part to changes that take place in the brain during exercise. The so-called 'runner's high' is caused by a potent cocktail of hormones - possibly including a neurotransmitter called anandamide, from the Sanskrit word for 'bliss'. On top of this, staying active is likely to boost self-esteem, serve as a distraction from negative thought spirals, and improve your quality of sleep. Of ...

TEHRAN (FNA)- Iranian researchers at Islamic Azad University of Tabriz produced special smart shoes to reduce the problems resulting from diabetic foot. "The smart orthopedic shoes can measure the pressures on different parts of the foot and warn the user if the pressure exceeds the standard levels to change his/her situation or standing or walking position," said Meisam Amini, one of the Iranian researchers working in the project, on Wednesday. He added that lowering the chances for foot wounds and foot dismembering in diabetic people, and enhancing treatment quality and increasing the efficiency of the patients are among the advantages of the shoes. Amini said that the ...

chn...On the TV show Star Trek, when the starship Enterprise makes the jump from regular cruising to warp speed, there’s a momentary jolt as the spaceship leaps to the higher, faster-than-light velocity. This type of bumpy ride is a boundary phenomenon and is always experienced as changes occur from one condition to another. Changes, after all, are never easy! This bumpy boundary “change” that occurs as one speed is changing to the next can be thought of as a type of membrane which is in essence an adjustment from one type of substance to another. Scientists call these substances “phases” and they refer to the change that occurs from one phase to another as a ...

NOTE: There can be no denying that America’s children and young adults are at a critical juncture. Unless we start admitting what we already know about environmental culprits and become willing to do something about them, children, young adults and our nation are going to continue to get short-changed. Millennials (the generation born between the early 1980s and approximately the mid-1990s) just got some bad news. Health insurance data from 2017 show that many of them, especially older millennials in their mid-30s, are facing unprecedented levels of mental and physical illness. …over half (54%) of millennial respondents reported having been diagnosed with at least one chronic ...
LED light can damage eyes, health authority warns

Maisons-Alfort (France) (AFP) - The "blue light" in LED lighting can damage the eye's retina and disturb natural sleep rhythms, France's government-run health watchdog said this week. New findings confirm earlier concerns that "exposure to an intense and powerful [LED] light is 'photo-toxic' and can lead to irreversible loss of retinal cells and diminished sharpness of vision," the French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety (ANSES) warned in a statement. The agency recommended in a 400-page report that the maximum limit for acute exposure be revised, even if such levels are rarely met in home or work environments. The ...

TEHRAN (FNA)- Do you find that most store-bought tomatoes don't have much flavor? Scientists may have spotlighted the solution by developing the tomato pan-genome, mapping almost 5,000 previously undocumented genes, including genes for flavor. Almost everyone agrees that most store-bought tomatoes don't have much flavor. Now, scientists from the Agricultural Research Service (ARS) and the Boyce Thompson Institute (BTI) may have spotlighted the solution in a paper just published in Nature Genetics. Molecular biologist James Giovannoni with the ARS Plant, Soil and Nutrition Research Laboratory and BTI bioinformatics scientist Zhangjun Fei, both in Ithaca, New York, have finished ...

chn... The skin care business is, like many other businesses, steeped in and dependent on consumerism and marketing. Rather than having real effects, products have come to rely much more on sizzle; many purchases are the result of nothing more than hype and buying decisions are often functions of ignorance and ads. The world of cosmetic products as we know it today was birthed in the late 19th and early 20th century, at the same time that business enterprises were beginning to understand Freudian psychological theories of human motivations and buying behaviors and how to use them to exploit and manipulate consumer minds and emotions. No business has leveraged human desires and ...

Although naturally found in various plants and veggies, like onions and grains and bananas, asparagus and Jerusalem artichoke, and chicory root, inulin and oligofructose are also industrially prized for their ability to provide a non-caloric sweetening benefit and are most often found in the standard American diet in the form of processed food additives. In addition to their inclusion in processed foods, ...
