In a remarkable testament to the power of both alternative and traditional approaches to cancer treatment, a man with pleural mesothelioma has seen his tumor disappear.
Two studies found the link between CT scans and cancer risks. One study projected the 70 million CT scans performed in 2007 can lead to 29,000 future cancers. The risk associated with CT scans is higher than expected, and if validated, its use will be greatly decreased. Doctors must consider if the risk of CT scans outweigh the potential benefits.
IN the politically charged debate over breast-cancer screening, many may have missed a fact that the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) considered: Sometimes diagnostic procedures cause cancers they were meant to detect.
Many at-risk kids are on drugs and I am not talking about illicit ones.
Common antipsychotic drugs are being over prescribed to our nations low income kids. A recent study found that low income kids on Medicare were 4 times more likely to have powerful antipsychotics prescribed to them.

Humans have always sought to understand the origin of the Universe, and the origin of Consciousness. How did the Universe originate? How did consciousness originate? Was consciousness there from the beginning, or did it evolve out of something else? Ever since man stared at the stars above, these questions have persisted.
Discussing the origin of the Universe at first glance may seem like it is quite remote from healing, but in fact the topics are strongly linked.
After seeing “The Living Matrix” I was awake most of the night thinking about my new favorite movie. Featuring top geneticists, scientists and switching between true stories of people healed and releasing powerful scientific studies — this movie truly moved me. In my last post I said that “We are all Healers” and here is the movie that proves it so. I have talked about my work as a Reconnective Healing Practitioner and it being Energy and Information Medicine. Here is the movie that explains HOW that works scientifically.
Future doctors and nurses are learning about acupuncture and herbs along with anatomy and physiology at a growing number of medical schools. It's another example of how alternative medicine has become mainstream, and it's often done with Uncle Sam's help. The government has spent more than $22 million to help medical and nursing schools start teaching about alternative medicine — lesson plans that some critics say are biased toward unproven remedies.
Many patients are reluctant to talk to oncologists about their complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) use, and for good reason: they may have raised it with a physician in the past and been ignored or told it was irrelevant. To overcome this reluctance, nurses must be familiar with the various CAM modalities and comfortable with eliciting information from patients about their use and advising on their pros and cons.
Researchers are coming by evidence that herbs like brahmi, associated with the ayurveda system of medicine, can help ward off Alzheimer's disease and preserve one's mental faculties. Although what exactly causes Alzheimer's is not known, sufferers experience inflammation of the brain, deposits of beta amyloid, traces of heavy metals and signs of oxidative stress.
As proteins are dynamic in nature, they are constantly changing their conformations. Certain conformations enhance the rate of a reaction more than others which we describe as being more enzymatically active. Here’s the important part. This means that just the smallest change in structure or orientation of any part of this protein has dramatic effects on its enzymatic activity and, consequently, our health.
