The Electronic or the E Cigarette
submitted by: admin on 10/17/2013
As a child I remember walking down to the corner convenience store to buy a candy treat. In my time you could take a quarter and buy a candy bar and get change. If you wanted to look cool, you might buy the white candy cigarettes with the pink tip and pretend to puff your way home. This candy in the shape of a cigarett is legal and always has been.

The Importance of Iron in Infections and Cancer
submitted by: admin on 06/24/2016
According to the December 2012 issue of PLOS ONE, Iron plays a key role in metabolism that leads to bacteria and human beings competing to prevent the other from obtaining it. Bacteria are obligated to acquire iron to gain foothold to grow in host tissues. Cancer cells also sequester iron more effectively than normal cells. This is one of the reasons...
The Importance of Sleep
submitted by: admin on 11/22/2024
Sleep is one of the most important lifestyle factors. Prolonged insomnia leads to inflammation and a whole host of illnesses that include hypertension, type 2 diabetes, cancer, osteoporosis, overweight, and suppressed immunity.

The Importance of Sleep if You have Cancer
submitted by: admin on 04/23/2014
According to a study published in January of 2014 in the journal Cancer Research, poor sleep accelerates cancer growth, makes cancer cells more aggressive, and weakens immunity. In fact, it is the weakened immunity that leads to increasing the aggressiveness of cancer.
In this study researchers transplanted breast cancer cells into mice and then...
The Importance of Vitamin D in Serious Illness
submitted by: admin on 06/05/2016
A study published in Pediatrics from the University of Ottawa documented that 75% of children in ICU with serious illnesses had low vitamin D levels and were noted to be sicker, requiring more life support services, and longer times in the ICU. Considering that there is an epidemic of vitamin D deficiency caused by lack of exposure to sunlight, it is not particularly...
The Many Faces of H. Pylori
submitted by: admin on 10/17/2013
Helicobacter Pylori is found in 50% of human beings. Sometimes it causes problems and at other times it is protective. It is associated with type 2 diabetes, ulcers, and gastric cancer but is protective against asthma, colitis, and intestinal infections. Managing its presence is tricky. Mainstream doctors tend to use triple therapy (two antibiotics, proton pump...
The Relationship of Insulin and Arteriosclerosis
submitted by: admin on 10/17/2013
According to Joslin Clinic Studies published in the journal Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology, high levels of insulin in themselves do not cause arteriosclerosis. Without other factors such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or type 2 diabetes, high levels of insulin do not cause arteriosclerosis. There must be insulin resistance in endothelial...

The War Against Cancer, How Are We Doing?
submitted by: admin on 10/17/2013
Clearly, we're losing the "war against cancer." The incidence of cancer and survival has not changed significantly in the past several decades until we stopped the ubiquitous use of HRT. Environmental pollution, lifestyle, and genetics together have a lot to do with one's risk of cancer. We should be working on prevention rather than curing...
Too Much Iron Accelerates Aging
submitted by: admin on 10/17/2013
Iron storage disease, or hemochromatosis, affects 10-15% of the population, and perhaps even more if you know how to diagnose it. Iron overload increases free radical damage via the Fenton reaction. Hepcidin is a hormone that regulates iron levels by increasing the absorption of iron. The is new research showing that at least experimentally it is possible...
Treating Frailty with Testosterone
submitted by: admin on 10/17/2013
As we get older, especially men who are frail, testosterone replacement is a consideration to improve muscle strength and balance. Exercise, of course, is the best way to increase muscle strength and balance because it naturally increases growth hormone and testosterone levels. Overdoing testosterone levels can be a problem with aggressive behavior...
