The Danger of Cell Phone Radiation 2008-02-26 10:25:00 Calling all cell phone users!There is evidence of a new risk of cancer from your mobile device.A study, published in the American Journal of Epidemiology, found that those who held a handset to their ear for several hours a day (an average of 22 hours per month) were 50-percent more likely to develop a tumor in the parotid gland.The parotid gland is the largest of the salivary glands. Historically, salivary gland cancer was a very rare occurrence.However, the proximity of the glands to the phone has been of particular interest to scientists concerned about the radio-frequency radiation emitted from cell devices since their popularity soared over a decade ago.As part of an international Interphone Study, Dr. Siegal Sadetzki, an epidemiologist at Tel Aviv University, lead a team to investigate nearly 500 people who had been diagnosed with salivary gland tumors. The data was compared to 1300 healthy subjects.A significant part of the study is that it was conducted in Israel."Unlike people ...

Death By Vaccine 2008-02-24 09:02:00 The following is a history of virology, bacteriology, mycology and vaccination that has lead to many of the out-breaks and/or epidemics from the Spanish Flu Epidemic to Polio to HIV/AIDS to the Gulf War Syndrome and now to our latest epidemics of prostate and breast cancer, diabetes, obesity and the rise of autism in children.Dr. Young has stated that the use of vaccinations, antibiotics and antifungals will only poison the body leading to the one sickness and one disease - latent tissue acidosis and then death.All vaccinations, antibiotics and antifungals are the acids of morbid fermentation of plant, animal and human matter and when ingested or injected, it only proves that you can poison the body and then hopefully live through it.The day will soon come when scientists will proclaim that the use of vaccinations, antibiotics and antifungals were and are harmful to the human body and should not be used under ANY circumstances.In the words of Thomas Edison, 'The Doctor of the Future w ...

Alkaline Water 2008-02-20 01:26:00 I just recently discovered how important pH balance is for the body. As it turns out, the body should be more alkaline than acidic. I found that interesting, since alkaline is my screen name. Here is some information on the subject.Acid-Alkaline BalanceProper Health starts with the correct acid-alkaline balance in your body. The pH level (acid - alkaline measurement) of our internal fluids affects every cell in our bodies. Extended acid imbalances of any kind can overwhelm your body, and lead to health complications.Just as the body regulates its temperature in a rigid manner, so will it manage to preserve a very narrow pH range - especially in the blood. As a matter of fact, the body will go to such great lengths to maintain a blood pH of 7.365 that it will even create stress on other tissues, body systems, and organs to do so. Chronic acidity will interrupt all cellular activities and functions - it interferes with life itself.When the pH of the body gets out of balance (too acidic), ...

An Avocado A Day Will Keep The Doctor Away 2008-02-17 06:56:00 Here at the Rancho del Sol in Sunny California we are now picking our organic avocados and shipping them fresh directly to your home.

Pomegranate Reduces Intestinal Inflammation, Enriches Blood, Cleans Arteries and Protects Against Cancer 2008-02-13 07:44:00 Pomegranates are nearly round, 2-1/2 to 5 in.wide fruit crowned at the base by theprominent calyx.The tough, leathery skin or rind is typically yellow overlaid with light or deep pink or rich red.The interior is separated by membranous walls and white, spongy, bitter tissue into compartments packed with sacs filled with sweetly acid, juicy, red, pink or whitish pulp or aril.In each sac there is one angular, soft or hard seed full of Omega 5 oils (CLA).The arils (seed casings) of the pomegranate are consumed raw. The entire seed is eaten, though the fleshy outer portion of the seed is the part that is desired. The taste differs depending on the variety of pomegranate and its state of ripeness.Pomegranate juice is a popular drink in the Middle East, and is also used in Iranian and Indian cuisine; it began to be widely marketed in the U.S. in 2004.Pomegranate concentrate is used in Syrian cuisine. Grenadine syrup is thickened and sweetened pomegranate juice; it is used in cocktail mixing. ...

Lower Blood Vessel Inflammation With Fruits and Vegetables 2008-02-09 08:10:00 Fruits like strawberries are not only delicious and nutrient-rich, new research from Harvard Medical School found that they may offer cardiovascular disease protection. The new study found that those who reported eating the most strawberries experienced lower blood levels of C-reactive protein, a biomarker for inflammation in the blood vessels.Howard Sesso, ScD and colleagues at the Harvard School of Public Health reported their findings in the August issue of the Journal of the American College of Nutrition. Using dietary intake records of approximately 27,000 of the women who participated in the decade-long Women's Health Study, Sesso looked at levels of strawberry consumption and several risk factors for cardiovascular disease. The findings revealed that women who ate the most strawberries -- two or more servings per week -- compared to those who reported eating none in the past month, were 14 percent less likely to have elevated C-reactive protein levels.C-reactive protein or CRP ...

The Erroneous Johns Hopkins Hospital 'Cancer Update' Article 2008-02-01 22:18:00 The following "cancer update" article of mis- information on cancer has been circulating around the internet for about a year. The claim is that the article originated from Johns Hopkins Hospital as an update for how cancer spreads and the recommended methods for treatment.According to Snopes the article did not originate from Johns Hopkins Hospital and they also deny the authorship of the following article of March 2007.http://www.snopes.com/medical/disease/cancerupdate.aspAs a matter of scientific interest and to correct many of the myths surrounding cancer I have decided to comment after each statement in the erroneous Johns Hopkins Hospital article."CANCER UPDATE"1. Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a few billion. When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the cancer cells because they ...

Teens, Young Adults Missing Out on Latest Cancer Advances 2008-01-29 21:49:00 (HealthDay News) -- When it comes to getting cutting-edge treatments for cancer, teens and young adults might be missing out.In a study of young oncology patients, researchers found that 38 percent of those under 15 participated in a clinical trial, while just 27 percent of those over 15 were enrolled in a clinical trial. With the overall cancer survival rate lower among teens and young adults than it is among younger children, access to clinical trials appears to be a contributing factor, the researchers noted. In many cases, a clinical trial simply wasn't available for the adolescents, according to the study, which was published in a recent issue of the Journal of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology."We've known for several years that older adolescents and young adults don't have the same clinical trial rate as younger patients but didn't know all of the reasons why," explained study author Dr. Peter Shaw, director of the Adolescent and Young Adult Oncology Program at Children's Hospi ...

The Truth About Cholesterol 2008-01-24 20:10:00 What causes an increase in serum cholesterol?The answer is easy. It is a four letter word - ACID.The body creates and releases cholesterol in the blood stream to buffer and protect against dietary and metabolic acidity.Cholesterol is our friend. It is dietary and metabolic acid that makes us sick, tired and fat.I am telling you this because there are millions of Americans trying to lower their cholesterol with statin drugs putting them at risk for the very thing they are trying to prevent - a stroke or heart attack.It is acid that causes heart attacks and strokes not cholesterol. The truth about cholesterol is that cholesterol is released into the blood stream to buffer or chelate dietary and/or metabolic acids and protect the heart and blood vessels from acid breakdown.According to recent research, the benefits of statin drugs are highly overrated, and the 13 million Americans using them may get little, if any, benefit.In fact, according to Dr. Robert O. Young, a research scientist at ...
