Should we let crying babies cry?
submitted by: admin on 10/14/2013
Should mothers of newborns let their babies cry it out or rush to their comfort? A study on 1200 infants sleeping patterns was tracked over 36 months. They found that by age 6 months that 2/3 of infants slept through the night. Of the 1/3 that did not, by 15 months they awakened twice a week, and by 15 months only once a week. If sleeping problems last more than...

Spontaneous Cancer Remission
submitted by: admin on 06/25/2016
Many breast cancers resolve on their own. Autopsy studies show that about 30% of women in their 50s have occult breast cancers that apparently come and go. It makes one wonder if we are massively overdiagnosing cancers and overtreating them as well. The trick is to know which cancers are dangerous and in need of treatment. Studies on mammograms over time have...

submitted by: admin on 10/14/2013
The October 31, 2012 issue of Human Reproduction published an article from Harvard and Tufts Medical Centers stating that SSRI antidepressants should not be used in pregnancy because they lead to worsened pregnancy outcomes, have not been shown to be of benefit, and are massively overused in clinical practice.

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 Mammography Industry is Clinging to a Failed Test for Women Under Fifty
submitted by: admin on 06/18/2016
Let's face it. Mammograms are far from a perfect test, especially in women under the age of 50, and particularly in women with fibrocystic breasts. The United States Preventive Task Force no longer recommends screening women routinely for breast cancer with mammograms. There has been a flood of complaining from the American Cancer Society and the...
The Strong Evidence for the Healing Power of Prayer
submitted by: admin on 11/24/2024
Most people know from personal experience that prayer is an effective therapy. This is the reason why human beings have prayed for thousands of years. This alone should be sufficient for the medical profession to support prayer as a formal medical therapy. However, there is considerable scientific evidence in mainstream medical literature validating the effectiveness...

When is a Lymph Node Dissection Appropriate?
submitted by: admin on 11/24/2024
It looks like there is a trend in breast cancer and now lung cancer of not removing the lymph nodes, so when should lymph nodes be removed, or should they be removed?

submitted by: admin on 10/12/2013

What is needed is a more personal relationship between physicians and patients that includes patients in the decision-making process in assessment...

submitted by: admin on 11/24/2024
Premonitions are related to survival. They often occur in our dreams and emerge into our waking awareness and frequently relate to the maternal child bond.
