Cabbage Can Cure Stomach Ailments

noreply@blogger.com (mr.ido) — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 18:32:01 PST

Cabbage is a vegetable crop that is easy to find in the vegetable market or even in our garden.But do you know what is the benefits of cabbage? In fact, many substances or compounds contained in the cabbage that can be used as natural medicine, one of the most famous is to treat stomach ulcers.

Cabbage contains substances called the antiulcer U factor or the technical name is glutamine and can be made in the form of capsules. Glutamine has proved to be a better cure than antacids.There are natural antiulcer drugs in cabbage. That cabbage can help heal ulcers .Drink a cup of cabbage juice four times a day can heal stomach ulcers in ten days.The only duodenal ulcers of patients fed cabbage also Healed in one-third the usual time.

1950s, Garnett Cheney, MD, a professor of medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine has conducted a natural experiment on antiulcer drugs in cabbage.He demonstrated that a quart of fresh cabbage juice every day relieved pain and healed both gastric and duodenal ulcers better and faster than standard treatments did. In a test of fifty-five patients who drank cabbage juice, 95 percent felt better within two to five days.

The experiments are also carried out circumstances of the prisoners at San Quentin Prison in California.They have been given cabbage juice concentrate in a capsule is equivalent to 1 liter of fresh cabbage juice every day and stomach ulcers had healed after three weeks.

Roman doctors used to treat ulcers cabbage, as well as diverse conditions such as headache, colic and insomnia.

How cabbage can work? Cabbage working as a layer in the stomach that will strengthen the resistance against acid attack causes stomach ulcers.

If you do not have time to make your own cabbage juice for your activity, you can buy dehydrated, raw cabbage powder at natural food stores. Which clearly should give priority to cure a disease with natural medicine because without any side effects.

Did You Know What Is Hamburgers Contained?

noreply@blogger.com (mr.ido) — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 17:52:24 PST

Hamburgers is a food that was familiar to us.Moreover our children, our friends and our brothers every day even be able to eat humbergers.Maybe billions peoples consuming hamburgers every year in US.But do you know what actually conceived by most of the hamburger?Yes, maybe you eat hamburgers are made from beef contaminated with E. coli to be Repackaged, cooked and sold as ready-to-eat Hamburgers.

Maybe you will shocked when the new hearing this news, because according to the new USDA regulations is allowed.It is also you will think that beef found to be contaminated with E. coli must be thrown out or destroyed (or even recalled), but in reality, it's often just pressed into hamburger patties, cooked, and sold to consumers. This practice is openly Endorsed by the USDA.

Also if you know the process something like this could happen and it might be more surprising that cattle feed can be made from a mixture of dirt chicken.And then the beef meats made for hamburgers and we consume.Can you imagine that hamburgers we eats made from beef that had been eating chicken shit, too? And vice versa via feed production process which can be a dead cow and chicken feed as well. And again it was allowed by the USDA.

This legislation has received criticism from major hamburger companies such as Mc Donald ,CSPI and the Consumers Union have also joined the fight, petitioning the FDA to ban the practice.But it also raises concerns that it could also support the occurrence of mad cow disease in American farms.

Actually, if we keep giving our cattle eat their natural food, like the chickens are as vegetarians , cows eat gree grass, even in the production of cattle feed supplements can be added by several animals suplemen, but it must return to the natural forage base.

Avoid The Head And Neck Cancer With Curcumin

noreply@blogger.com (mr.ido) — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 07:59:00 PDT

The natural substance such as yellowish orange Indian spice turmeric, used to flavor curries, contains a remarkable phytochemical known as curcumin .Curcumin has shown remarkable promise in helping the human body in a wide variety of ways.it may prevent Alzheimer's Disease and type 2 diabetes as well as fight breast and colorectal malignancies .

Now research just released at the 2009 American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery Foundation (AAO-HNSF) annual meeting in San Diego shows curcumin may block nicotine-induced head and neck cancers, even in people who smoke.In a study presented at the AAO-HNSF meeting, researchers pointed out that HNSCC is a serious problem, taking the lives of about 13,000 Americans annually.So the researchers looked for a safe food compound that could be used as a bioactive agent to both prevent cancer and to also block the harmful effects of nicotine.They investigated the effects of curcumin on malignant growths by using a variety of head and neck cancer cell lines. The HNSCC cells were pre-treated with curcumin in the laboratory and then exposed to nicotine. The results showed the curcumin stopped nicotine from activating cancer-causing cells.
the NCI web site states, head and neck cancers account for three to five percent of cancers in the US, with about 40,000 new cases diagnosed each year. The vast majority, approximately 85 percent of these cancers, are linked to tobacco use.

Scientists from the Escuela Nacional de Ciencias Biologicas in Mexico City also published a review in the journal Liver International recently pointing out that along with documented anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, anti-fungal, anti-bacterial and anti-cancer properties, curcumin also appears to have the ability to heal liver injuries.

And others researchers at the Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta just reported in the journal Breast Cancer that curcumin "could provide a novel, non-toxic therapy, which could lead to improved survival for patients with triple negative breast cancer." Currently, this type of breast cancer is only treated by traditional western medicine with cytotoxic chemotherapy -- and when this treatment fails, as it often does, no other mainstream therapy is available.

Having Pets Can Helps From Sick

noreply@blogger.com (mr.ido) — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 17:39:53 PDT

Nowdays more evidences that said if the pets at home can increased the physical health and the psychologist health of human.In the difficult economic times like now ,this pet can help us free from stress and health problems because of our inactivity such as exercise, so we can be automatic protected from obesity.

In this month the University of Missouri (MU) College of Veterinary Medicine Research Center for Human-Animal Interaction (ReCHAI) will be hosting of the International Society for Anthrozoology and Human-Animal Interaction Conference in Kansas City, Missouri, to discuss the growing phenomenon evidence of people who benefit from keeping pets at home, especially related to health and others. "Research in this field will bring new evidence to profits and a good impact for pets owners," Said Rebecca Johnson, associate professor in the MU Sinclair School of Nursing, the College of Veterinary Medicine and director of ReCHAI.

In the year of 2008 ReCHAI sponsored the "Walk a Hound, Lose a Pound and Stay Fit for Seniors" program.This program was a study which involved serious research into elders and the impact of exercising with dogs.A group consisting of a joint eldermans and dogs from the dog shelters, while another group of people walking along with human .For 3 months, the research participants were asked for one hour to walk on an outdoor trail and five times a week.

Dr.Johnson said thats a comparison between the older adults who walked with the dogs can improve walking capabilities by 28 percent and the older adults who walked with the humans only improve walking capabilities by 4 percent.That was could be happened because the older adults who walked with the dogs had more confidence on their walking and can increased their speed.According Dr.Johnson The human who walking with their buddies tend to avoid each other by using excuses like hot weather.

And the Other research that was published last year in the Journal of Aging and Health by University of Portsmouth researchers in the United Kingdom said that the humans interaction with the dogs can increased the physical health and the psychologist health of elders. At Queen's University in Belfast, Northern Ireland,psychologists reported when spring of 2009 companion animals appear to provide a help people who diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS). Also documented that poor people due to the CFS health had an increased the life quality with their cats or dogs as a pets.

According Charlotte McKenney, assistant director of ReCHAI, Nowdays, more than 60 percent of the American peoples are having pets. And More people in their leisure time, such as making them part of their exercise routines, togethers to the dog parks and bringing them in the family events.

To studying the potential health benefits by the human-companion animal connection The International Society for Anthrozoology and Human-Animal Interaction Conference together and bring nurses,veterinarians, physicians,psychologists,physical,social workers,and occupational therapists, and directors activity from around of the world who are actively working with the human-companion animal connection study.

Nicotine in Gum Could Causing Mouth Cancer

noreply@blogger.com (mr.ido) — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 01:23:40 PDT

The Medical Research Council studied thats smoking cessation products like nicotine gum, lozenge and inhaler can contribute to the development of mouth cancer and its published in the journal PLoS One.

"While we recognize the importance of encouraging people to quit smoking recognition, our research shows nicotine chewing gum found in increase the risk of cancer of the mouth," said lead investigator De Muy-Teck, the Queen Mary University of London.

The researchers emphasized that more important to stop smoking than nicotine gum to avoid, and that the point of the study is to stop smoking and to use cessation products just long enough to quit smoking, and not longer.

"Smoking is obviously far more dangerous [than nicotine gum]," it said, "and those who use nicotine replacement should continue to provide and use their [the doctor] if they have to do. Important messages are not redundant, and follow the advice of packaging.

The researchers studied the activity of a gene called FOXM1, which often occurs in a mutant form in many tumors, including mouth cancer and precancerous mouth lesions. This mutation increases the activity of the gene.

The increased activity in FOXM1 caused by cancer-linked mutation is exacerbated by exposure to nicotine, researchers found.

"If you have a mouth lesion that expresses high FOXM1 and you have exposed to nicotine, it may add to the risk of turning cancerous, they say. The concern is that smokers, are you looking for people who have a risk of mouth cancer . I am afraid that some might not know how they all lesions in the mouth, and if they continue with nicotine replacement when they stop smoking products they should not even any good. "

Most nicotine replacement products advise users to scale back after three months and six end-use.

Traditional Plant Medicine Could Cure H1N1 Flu Virus, Chinese Scientists Find

noreply@blogger.com (mr.ido) — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 01:08:23 PDT

by: S. L. Baker

The government's pro-vaccine push and the mainstream media's near hysteria over the increased number of H1N1 (swine flu) cases can leave some people feeling almost helpless. After all, there are reports that anti-virus drugs like Tamiflu don't always work (and are known to have horrendous side effects), and no one can truly say the barely-tested flu vaccine has in any way been proven safe or effective. But what is overlooked by mainstream news and most of the medical community is that a host of natural therapies exist that can help the body fight off infections. And now Chinese scientists have documented that an ancient plant remedy for flu appears to offer a knock-out punch to the dreaded H1N1 virus.

Researchers from Kaohsiung Medical University and the China Medical University have analyzed the roots of a plant called Ferula assa-foetida (F. assa-foetida, for short) because it was used a century ago as a traditional medicine to fight the great 1918 Spanish influenza outbreak -- that pandemic killed between 20 to 100 million people. There were reports the traditional plant medicine was effective but no one had documented the plant's antiviral compounds, until now.

More powerful than prescription antiviral drugs
In a study published in the September 25th issue of the American Chemical Society's (ACS) Journal of Natural Product, scientists Fang-Rong Chang and Yang-Chang Wu reveal that in lab experiments Ferula assa-foetida exhibits a remarkable ability to kill the H1N1 swine flu virus.

In their study, Chang and Wu identified a group of chemical compounds in extracts of the plant that turned out to be far more potent against influenza A (H1N1) than a prescription antiviral drug available for the flu. "A standardized plant extract of F. assa-foetida, a species that has been used to treat influenza for many years, may also be worthy of being further investigated as a new phytomedicine," the authors write.

The scientists also noted that the roots of F. assa-foetida have been used for centuries in folk medicine as a natural anti-cancer treatment, antibiotic, diuretic, antispasmodic treatment and more. The plant, which grows mainly in Iran, Afghanistan and mainland China, reportedly tastes much like onions when it is cooked. When raw, the sap of the Ferula assa-foetida has such a bad smell that sometimes it is called the "Dung of the Devil" plant.

Diabetes Drug Could Cause Pancreatic Cancer

noreply@blogger.com (mr.ido) — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 08:43:29 PDT

by: David Gutierrez

The popular diabetes drug sitagliptin (marketed as Januvia) may increase the risk of pancreatic cancer, according to study conducted by researchers from the University of California-Los Angeles and published in the journal Diabetes

"Type 2 diabetes is a lifelong disease -- people often take the same drugs for many years, so any adverse effect that could over time increase the risk for pancreatic cancer would be a concern," said lead researcher Peter Butler. "A concern here is that the unwanted effects of this drug on the pancreas would likely not be detected in humans unless the pancreas was removed and examined."

Previous research has suggested that the diabetes drug Byetta might increase the risk of pancreatic inflammation (pancreatitis), a known risk factor for pancreatic cancer. Byetta and Januvia both act by enhancing the activity of a gut hormone known as glucagon-like-peptide-1 (GLP-1), thereby resulting in lower blood sugar.

Byetta manufacturer Amylin Corp. has insisted that the connection between Byetta and pancreatitis could be coincidence, since no mechanism to explain the correlation has yet been found. The new study suggests, however, that enhanced GLP-1 activity might itself be a risk factor for pancreatitis.

Researchers conducted the study on rats that had been genetically engineered to simulate the metabolism of humans with Type 2 diabetes, as well as their Islets of Langerhans. They treated 40 rats with either Januvia or a Januvia-metformin combination for 12 weeks.

The Islets of Langerhans are hormone-producing regions of the pancreas. Metformin is an older diabetes drug that is believed to have tumor-suppressing properties.

The researchers found that rats treated only with Januvia had significantly higher proliferation of beta cells in their Islets of Langerhans, while some developed pancreatic abnormalities or inflammation. Rats treated with both drugs did not exhibit this effect.

Beta cells produce the blood sugar-regulating hormone insulin.

Chemical Cocktail in Consumer Products Destroys Male Fertility

noreply@blogger.com (mr.ido) — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 01:56:28 PDT

by: David Gutierrez

Hormone-disrupting chemicals found in a variety of consumer products are destroying male reproductive health, according to a report released by the nonprofit CHEM Trust.

An increasing number of widely used chemicals are being exposed as endocrine disruptors, many of them ingredients in plastics, cosmetics, cleaning products and even food. Most of these simulate the action of the female sex hormone estrogen.

According to report author Richard Sharpe of the Medical Research Council, long-term exposure to a wide variety of these chemicals is probably to blame, at least in part, for rising incidence of a condition known as Testicular Dysgenisis Syndrome (TDS). Exposure to endocrine disruptors can "feminize" male children even in the womb, he said, by blocking the activity of the male sex hormone testosterone

TDS refers to a collection of observed disorders of the male reproductive system, including reduced sperm counts, malformed penis and testicular cancer.

While exposure to one endocrine disruptor might not have a great effect, Sharpe said, there are so many different chemicals out there that their cumulative results must be taken into account.

"Because it is the summation of effect of hormone-disrupting chemicals that is critical, and the number of such chemicals that humans are exposed to is considerable, this provides the strongest possible incentive to minimize human exposure to all relevant hormone disruptors, especially women planning pregnancy, as it is obvious that the higher the exposure the greater the risk," he said.

"Chemicals that have been shown to act together to affect male reproductive health should have their risks assessed together," said Elizabeth Salter Green of the CHEM Trust. "Currently that is not the case, and unfortunately chemicals are looked at on an individual basis. Therefore, government assurances that exposures are too low to have any effect just do not hold water because regulators do not take into account the additive actions of hormone disrupting chemicals."

"It is high time that public health policy is based on good science and that regulatory authorities have health protection, rather than industry protection, uppermost in mind," she said.

Why are so many celebrities dying after chemotherapy?

noreply@blogger.com (mr.ido) — Sat, 19 Sep 2009 09:25:03 PDT

by: Mike Adams

Patrick Swayze's death came as a shock to many people. But not to his own cancer doctor: They know that the five-year survival rates of people being treated with chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer are virtually zero.And Swayze was only the latest in a long list of celebrities dying after being treated with chemotherapy and other toxic forms of western medicine:

Farrah Fawcett died following chemotherapy used to treat anal cancer and liver cancer.

Famed newscaster Peter Jennings died from chemotherapy treatments for lung cancer.

Former White House press secretary Tony Snow died after receiving chemotherapy for colon cancer.

Celebrities still battling cancer
Desperate Housewives actress Kathry Joosten is currently battling lung cancer. It's not clear whether she has undergone chemotherapy yet, or plans to, but she did have cancer surgery in 2001 which obviously didn't "cure" the cancer because it has now returned.

Apple Computer CEO Steve Jobs looks deathly ill after undergoing not only chemotherapy but also a complicated cancer surgery that removed a part of his pancreas and digestive tract.

Sheryl Crow is battling breast cancer, but she famously decided to support her immune system with natural medicine by turning to a Traditional Chinese Medicine wellness center called Tao of Wellness

No doubt her outcome will be vastly improved by this integrative approach. Unfortunately, her hubby Lance Armstrong is more into the conventional drugs-and-chemo approach, and most people probably don't realize the two things that saved Armstrong's life were intense exercise and regular exposure to sunshine during his cycling training (creating vitamin D, a powerful anti-cancer nutrient). (And wearing those little yellow Livestrong bracelets only tags you as being completely brainwashed about cancer and the cancer industry.)

Other celebrities engaging in cancer battles (or who already experienced them) include Sonique, Kylie and Anastacia.

Deadly pharmaceuticals
Beyond those celebrities being harmed or killed by chemotherapy, many are also killed by conventional pharmaceuticals:

Michael Jackson died from an overdose of doctor-prescribed pharmaceuticals.

Tim Russert's death is linked to heart medication

Bernie Mac died from immune suppression caused by pharmaceuticals

And Heath Ledger was killed by an overdose of pharmaceuticals prescribed by his doctors

Routine Consumption of Aspirin to Prevent Heart Attacks and Strokes "A Big Lie"

noreply@blogger.com (mr.ido) — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 23:23:54 PDT

by: David Gutierrez

Taking an aspirin a day appears to increase a person's risk of dangerous gastric bleeding as much as it decreases their risk of heart attack or stroke, researchers have found.

"We don't have good evidence that, for healthy people, the benefits of long-term aspirin exceed the risks by an appropriate margin," said lead researcher Colin Baigent, of the Clinical Trial Service Unit at Oxford University.

Health experts have been recommending for more than a decade that people considered at increased risk of cardiovascular disease (due to high blood pressure or cholesterol, obesity, advanced age or other risk factors) take one aspirin pill per day, as the medicine has been clinically shown to reduce the risk of serious vascular events in those people. This strategy -- treating people with no symptoms of heart disease -- is known as "primary prevention."

A serious vascular event is a heart attack, stroke or cardiovascular death.

Many health agencies have shied away from issuing official recommendations, however, such as the United Kingdom's National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence.

"There is no definitive guidance," said Steve Field, chair of the Royal College of
General Practitioners, "and it makes it bewildering when you have a series of papers which then hint it would be beneficial to take aspirin."

According to Field, many patients are attracted to aspirin as a way to stave off heart attacks because the over-the-counter pills are very inexpensive.

But the findings of the newest study, published in The Lancet, suggest that the risks of aspirin match the benefits in cases of primary prevention. Only in patients who have already had a heart attack or stroke does the benefit appear to outweigh the risk.

"This important study does suggest people shouldn't take aspirin unless indicated by disease," Field said.

While primary prevention recommendations have been based on estimated risks and benefits of aspirin treatments, the current study actually analyzed the effects of the treatment in 22 studies involving more than 100,000 participants. Six of the studies involved 95,000 people with a low to average risk of heart attack or stroke -- the typical primary prevention population -- and the other 16 involved 17,000 people who had already experienced at least one heart attack or stroke.

In both groups, taking an aspirin a day decreased the risk of a serious vascular event by about 20 percent in both men and women. It also increased the risk of gastric bleeding by about 33 percent.

In the lower-risk group, this came out to five fewer serious vascular events each year per 10,000 people taking a daily aspirin. It also meant three extra cases of gastric bleeding, however, and one extra stroke caused by internal bleeding. This led the researchers to conclude that the risks and benefits of the treatment were equivalent.

The results might be explained by the fact that people at increased risk of cardiovascular disease also tend to be at higher risk of gastric bleeding.

Because people who had already experienced a heart attack or stroke had such a heightened risk of further vascular events, however, the benefits exceeded the risks in that group -- roughly 150 serious vascular events prevented per year for every 10,000 people treated, with the same three extra gastric bleeds and one stroke from bleeding.

Diesel Exhaust Causes Cancer to Grow

noreply@blogger.com (mr.ido) — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 20:58:40 PDT

by: S. L. Baker

Diesel exhaust smells nasty, looks filthy and can make you cough. But there's an even more important reason to avoid the pollutant that's spouted from countless buses and cars: diesel exhaust is linked to the growth of cancerous tumors.Now researchers at Ohio State University have discovered how diesel fumes can spur on malignancies -- diesel exhaust causes new blood vessels to grow that serve as a food supply for cancerous tumors.

The scientists experimented with mice by creating two conditions that mimic conditions in a human body exposed to diesel fumes. One group of lab rodents was implanted with tiny platforms seeded with normal endothelial cells (the cells that line blood vessels) under their skin. The mice in another group were manipulated so there was ischemia (a loss of blood flow) to their hind limbs and that generated an area of severe hypoxia (lack of oxygen), a condition found in many diseases.

Then, for six hours per day five days a week, both groups of mice were exposed to either diesel exhaust or filtered outdoor air. The rest of the time the animals breathed filtered indoor air. The scientists measured the effects of these these exposures after two weeks, five weeks and eight weeks.

The results of the experiment, which were just published online and are slated to be included in the upcoming print edition of the journal Toxicology Letters, show diesel fumes act like a kind of fuel for blood vessels. Compared to mice breathing filtered air, an eight week exposure to diesel exhaust caused a six-fold increase in new blood vessel formation in the ischemic hind limbs and a four-fold increase in vessel formation in the mice with normal hind legs. The scientists also found more blood vessel growth in the implanted normal cells.

In all, the research team discovered that three types of blood vessel development had taken place areas after exposure to the diesel exhaust: angiogenesis, the development of new capillaries; arteriogenesis, the maturation or re-started growth of existing vessels; and vasculogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels. These findings are significant -- and worrisome -- because all of these processes are associated with the growth of cancerous tumors. And it is runaway angiogenesis that especially wreaks havoc in the human body, helping malignancies spread.

What's more, the exhaust exposure levels in the study were designed to mimic the diesel fume exposure that humans regularly receive if they reside in cities and/or commute in heavy traffic. In a statement to the media, the research team pointed out that the tiny size of inhaled diesel particles (most are less than 0.1 microns in diameter) allow the material to penetrate into the human circulatory system, organs and tissues, potentially causing damage anywhere in the body.

"The message from our study is that exposure to diesel exhaust for just a short time period of two months could give even normal tissue the potential to develop a tumor," Qinghua Sun, senior author of the study and an assistant professor of environmental health sciences at Ohio State University, said in the media release.

"We need to raise public awareness so people give more thought to how they drive and how they live so they can pursue ways to protect themselves and improve their health. And we still have a lot of work to do to improve diesel engines so they generate fewer particles and exhaust that can be released into the ambient air."

NaturalNews previously reported on additional research that shows diesel fumes could trigger cardiovascular problems, too. Diesel toxins interact with fatty acids found in LDL ("bad") cholesterol to raise the risk of heart disease, according to a study published in the online journal Genome Biology.
