Scientists have discovered why humans have an appendix – the small, thin tube attached to the large intestine whose purpose has long been a mystery. The appendix is prone to painful inflammation, known as appendicitis, and sometimes has to be surgically removed. It is usually considered a pointless, vestigial organ, but may actually serve as a reservoir for beneficial gut bacteria, according to researchers at Midwestern University in the US state of Arizona.

Blood sugar We get blood sugar from the food we eat. Eating the right food regularly is important. After food is swallowed, the digestive system breaks it down until it is in a useable form. Some of this will be sugar, which is then released into the bloodstream. A hormone called insulin then enters the blood to unlock our bodies' cells to let the sugar in, providing them with energy.

Metformin's Effect On Gut Bacteria & Diabetes

CHN... Metformin is number 1 best selling drug for treating the number 3 most common cause of death in this country and that's diabetes. I personally think it's the number 1 cause of death, because of its association with the first two causes of death, cancer and heart disease. As far as drugs go, Metformin has so few dramatic side effects, that doctors feel comfortable prescribing it. That does not mean it is without side effects, particularly digestive side effects. Metformin works on the digestive system and the micro-biome. As it turns out, this is one of the major reasons people get diabetes. This connection between digestive health and blood sugar health is very very ...
What is social prescribing – and can it improve your health?

The proposed NHS ten-year strategy aims to focus on illness prevention. This includes 'social prescribing', which enables healthcare professionals to refer people to a range of local, non-clinical services. We examine what this means, and whether it's a viable alternative for those who would otherwise need medication. Imagine this scenario: you've been feeling mildly depressed due to social isolation or low self-esteem. You take a trip to your GP, expecting a dose of antidepressants, but instead, you're put in contact with a local community gardening group and recommended to attend weekly sessions. Would you give it a go? This new approach is called 'social ...

CHN... Everyone knows you can take melatonin to help you sleep but it’s actually involved in much more than brain health. In addition to being an important digestive hormone, melatonin is involved in supporting the body’s defense system, it has anti-inflammatory properties, it can help lower blood pressure, stabilize blood sugar and it’s been used medically for anti-fibrosis properties. And that’s not all. Savvy practitioners have used it to treat tinnitus and fibromyalgia as well. It can help build bone. And it’s a powerful anti-aging molecule that helps prevent cancer too; that’s a lot of benefits for a non-toxic supplement that will cost you less 2 cents a ...

This is copied from JB Handley’ book, “How to Stop the Autism Epidemic” Kindle Edition, which is recommended. All references at the bottom. Five Studies of Unvaccinated Children The first study that compared children who had received a vaccine with children who hadn’t was published in 2000. Although autism wasn’t something the study considered, it was still revealing. Titled “Effects of Diphtheria-Tetanus-Pertussis or Tetanus Vaccination on Allergies and Allergy-Related Respiratory Symptoms among Children and Adolescents in the United States,” this study from the UCLA school of public health did look specifically at the DTP vaccine to see if it might be ...

Patient...You’ve spent the winter looking forward to spring. But for many, the warmer weather can bring about the unwanted symptoms of hay fever – even if they’ve never experienced these symptoms in the past. Whilst many of us assume that hay fever is something that develops in childhood, about one in five people with this condition develop symptoms for the first time when they're over 20. So what might cause us to develop hay fever and how can we manage our symptoms? The likelihood of our developing allergies is written into our genes and around a third of adults in the western world are thought to be potentially susceptible to developing an allergy. However, it’s ...

Dr. Joel Wallach outlined alternative health approaches and the benefits of remedies and supplements that aid in the body's recovery from many diseases and ailments. Reacting to a new study about eating eggs, he said it's not the eggs that cause the plaque in the arteries in heart attacks, "it's what you cook the eggs in." He recommends simmering eggs at low heat using butter rather than oils, which oxidize and turn into trans fats. The consumption of such oils as well as statin drugs, he believes, is associated with Alzheimer's. CBD oil, he reported, is great for such things as relaxation and sleep. It can also be helpful as a topical treatment for pain, and ...
CDC’s Universal Hepatitis B Vaccination Endangers Infants – Report
Post Date: 2019-03-26 16:57:40 by Horse
5 Comments
Before the introduction of the vaccine, numerous effective prevention measures had already been implemented to some degree in the US, including blood screening and administration of hepatitis B immune globulin (HBIG) to infants born to HBsAg-positive women. HBIG contains protective antibodies obtained from the blood plasma of selected donors, conferring passive immunity to the infant. It’s estimated to be about 75 percent effective in preventing chronic infection when given soon after exposure. Additionally, newborn infants may have maternal antibodies passively acquired through the placenta. Nevertheless, the number of cases occurring in the US annually continued to increase until ...

Spending large amounts of time sitting or lounging around during the day is linked to around 50,000 deaths per year in the UK and the NHS spends in excess of £0.7bn per year treating the health consequences, suggests research from Queen's University Belfast and Ulster University published online in the Journal of Epidemiology & Community Health. A large proportion of the UK population have sedentary jobs and leisure activities, and official physical activity recommendations regarding sedentary behaviour are vague. Previous studies have shown that spending large parts of the day sitting down increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, cancer and death and ...
What to do if you suspect a loved one has dementia

According to Alzheimer's UK, 850,000 people in the UK have dementia, but by 2025 this number is expected to exceed 1 million. The condition has a profound effect on everyday life, both for the person with dementia and for their nearest and dearest. Many people think of dementia as solely being about forgetfulness. While memory loss is one of the main symptoms, dementia is a term describing a number of disorders that cause a loss of brain function, which usually progressively worsens over time. "In the beginning, people might exhibit a number of early signs, such as losing interest in day-to-day activities and becoming apathetic," explains Dr Jane Mullins, dementia nurse ...
How Team Sports Change a Child's Brain

TEHRAN (FNA)- Adult depression has long been associated with shrinkage of the hippocampus, a brain region that plays an important role in memory and response to stress. Now, new research from Washington University in St. Louis has linked participation in team sports to larger hippocampal volumes in children and less depression in boys ages 9 to 11. "Our findings are important because they help illuminate the relationships between involvement in sports, volume of a particular brain region and depressive symptoms in kids as young as nine," said Lisa Gorham, lead author of the study and a senior majoring in cognitive neuroscience in Arts & Sciences. "We found that ...

CHN...Food represents the most important chronic offending agent. Even good foods activate a defensive response scientists call “post prandial leukocytosis” (post meal white blood cells proliferation). The intestine is packed with responsive immune system cells that can initiate inflammatory chemistry. When activated chronically as a result of repeated ingestion of triggering foods, the net result can be a permanent inflammatory condition and a breakdown in the digestive lining or “Leaky Gut”. Once food particles sneak through the broken down intestinal barrier and enter into the circulation, a defensive reaction within the blood is initiated. The circulatory system is ...

The mere mention of cancer strikes fear in the hearts of many people, and rightfully so. Having certain types of cancer often means you’ll be facing years of brutal treatments – if you’re lucky enough to live that long. Although it’s hard to imagine the disease could one day be considered non-threatening the way that many of the illnesses that used to kill people hundreds of years ago are viewed now, scientific breakthroughs like a recent study exploring turmeric’s effects on cancer cells are starting to give patients some hope. This ancient Indian spice has been the subject of many studies in recent years as it continues to demonstrate its strength when it comes ...

chn... Human beings around the world are sick and are getting sicker. We are immersed in a silent epidemic of chronic degenerative diseases (CDDs) that is gradually enveloping the planet’s population. According to the World Health Organization, from a projected total of 58 million worldwide deaths from all causes in 2009, it is estimated that CDDs, physical ailments whose course worsens over time, account for 38 million or over 60 percent. Here in the United States, CDD’s impact on mortality is even more significant with 3 out of 4 deaths resulting from long term degenerative illnesses and nearly 50% of Americans having at least one. The elderly are especially susceptible; ...

Genetic Key to Whole-Body Regeneration

TEHRAN (FNA)- Researchers are shedding new light on how animals perform whole-body regeneration, and uncovered a number of DNA switches that appear to control genes used in the process. When it comes to regeneration, some animals are capable of amazing feats -- if you cut the leg off a salamander, it will grow back. When threatened, some geckos drop their tails as a distraction, and regrow them later. Other animals take the process even further. Planarian worms, jellyfish, and sea anemones can actually regenerate their entire bodies after being cut in half. Led by Assistant Professor of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology Mansi Srivastava, a team of researchers is shedding new light on ...

Just as antibiotics have bred resistance in bacteria, vaccines can potentially lose their effectiveness over diseases they controlled. Researchers are working to head off the evolution of new threats. Andrew Read became a scientist so he could spend more time in nature, but he never imagined that would mean a commercial chicken farm. Read, a disease ecologist who directs the Pennsylvania State University Center for Infectious Disease Dynamics, and his research assistant Chris Cairns meandered their way through a hot, humid, pungent-smelling barn teeming with 30,000 young broiler chickens deep in the Pennsylvania countryside. Covered head to toe in white coveralls, the two men periodically ...

"I'm going to make you work hard," a blonde and perfectly muscled fitness instructor screamed at me in a recent spinning class, "so you can have that second drink at happy hour!" At the end of the 45-minute workout, my body was dripping with sweat. I felt like I'd worked really, really hard. And according to my bike, I had burned more than 700 calories. Surely I had earned an extra margarita. The spinning instructor was echoing a message we've been getting for years: As long as you get on that bike or treadmill, you can keep indulging — and still lose weight. It's been reinforced by fitness gurus, celebrities, food and beverage companies like ...

Tweet TEHRAN (FNA)- Post traumatic stress disorder, depression and anxiety can all be quite serious conditions, but it's often difficult to determine who may be prone to developing them. New research suggests that in order to find out, we should perhaps look to a person's skin. Upon suddenly hearing a gunshot or other loud noise, our bodies respond by sweating, boosting our heart rate, and disrupting our breathing. The response is known as "acoustic startle," and it can be detected with devices such as skin conductance sensors, which measure sweat gland activity in the fingertip. If that sound is subsequently repeated several times, we begin to get used to it, and ...

Bladder infections are a common health issue, particularly for women, and can recur with frustrating frequency. We asked a urologist whether it's safe to let a urinary tract infection 'run its course', or if antibiotics are always the best treatment. Around 50-60% of women will develop at least one urinary tract infection (UTI) in their lifetime, and people with diabetes and men with enlarged prostate glands are also at risk. Burning and stinging on urination, and feeling achy, sick and tired are the common symptoms of bladder infections, and can make life a misery for those who suffer frequent UTI infections. Studies show that Escherichia coli (E. coli) is the organism that ...

TEHRAN (FNA)- Researchers at Saint Louis University have found that eating a Mediterranean diet can improve athletes' endurance exercise performance after just four days. In a small study published in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition, investigators found that participants ran a 5K six percent faster after eating a Mediterranean diet than after eating a Western diet. Researchers found no difference between the two diets in performance in anaerobic exercise tests. The Mediterranean diet includes whole fruits and vegetables, nuts, olive oil and whole grains, and avoids red and processed meats, dairy, trans and saturated fats and refined sugars. By comparison, the ...

Essential oils (EOs) are volatile chemicals that concentrate and contribute aromas and medicinal properties to plants. They’re found in all vegetation and can be extracted via distillation techniques to exploit the pharmacological and fragrance features. While EOs have many health benefits for various bodily systems, throughout history they’ve been particularly valued for their ability to treat skin health issues and to help maintain the health and beauty of the body’s largest organ. They’ve been topically applied to accelerate healing from burns and wounds, included in skin preparations that claimed to prevent wrinkles and visible signs of aging and they have been ...
