Induction of apoptosis in human
lung cancer cells by curcumin
Curcumin, a phenolic compound from the rhizome of the plant Curcuma longa has
anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anticanceractivities. Although the precise mode of
action of this compound is not yet elucidated, studies have shown that chemopreventive
action of curcumin might be due to its ability to induce apoptosis and to arrest cell
cycle. Curcumin induced apoptosis in both the lung cancer cell lines. The data also
suggest a p53 independent induction of apoptosis in lung cancer cells.
The Threat of Genetically Modified Organisms
Cancer is a degenerative disease caused by a lack of vitamins and poisoning from
chemical substances present in food. One can estimate the number of vitamins
andpro-vitamin substances present in natural plants commonly used as food by humans, as
more than 15,000 to 30,000. The introduction into modern agriculture of Genetically
Modified Organisms (GMOs) is an unjustified and dangerous alteration of what Evolution has
produced in plants over hundreds of millions of years: plants on which the subsequent
biochemical evolution of superior complex animal organisms has been based, culminating
with the advent of mammals in the last 65 million years and then with the arrival of Man.
The cure of advanced cancer by diet therapy
In the pre-cancerous condition, all is prepared. The liver is sufficiently
damaged and the other organs of the intestinal tract are damaged enough and then later the
symptoms appear. Until then we have the pre-cancerous condition and this condition cannot
be cured with hormones and enzymes, etc. We can to a certain degree stimulate the liver
with hormones. We can stimulate the liver with cortisone. We can stimulate the liver with
adrenalin etc., but then we take out the last reserves. We empty the liver instead of
refilling it. What we have to do in cancer -a degenerative, deficiency disease- is to
refill the organs which are empty and poisoned. Therefore it is almost a crime to give
cortisone and the other stimulants which will take away the last reserves and improve the
condition for a short while only.
Household toxines
The most frequent exposure to exotoxins comes from the house. Because we are
unable to feel, see, smell, or taste many household toxins at first contact, it is
important to be aware of the most common household toxins and to proactively prevent or
reduce our exposure to them. Other common sources of dangerous toxins come from drugs,
both medical (medicines), recreational (alcohol, tobacco) and illegal (marijuana, opium,
etc.). Another source is toxin-containing foods (night shade family plants, hot peppers,
etc.) and drinks (coffee, soft drinks).
The Relationship Between Root Canals and Cancer
Dr. Thomas Rau, who runs the Paracelsus Clinic (cancer clinic since 1958) in
Switzerland recently checked the records of the last 150 breast cancer patients treated in
his clinic. He found that 147 of them (98%) had one or more root canal teeth on the same
meridian as the original breast cancer tumor. His clinic has a biological dentist section
where all cancer patients, on reporting in, have their mouth cleaned up first --
especially all root canal teeth removed.
Changes in work force, not pay,
narrowing the gender wage gap
Are working women treated more fairly in today's labor market than they were 30
years ago? Absolutely not, according to groundbreaking new research by Brown University
economist Yona Rubinstein and Casey Mulligan of the University of Chicago. Disputing
decades of economic literature, the economists show that the apparent narrowing of the
wage gap between working men and women is actually due to the type of women who are now
working -- not how much they're being paid.
Targeted radiation therapy can
control limited cancer spread
Precisely targeted radiation therapy can eradicate all evidence of disease in
selected patients with cancer that has spread to only a few sites, suggests the first
published report from an ongoing clinical trial. Radiation therapy controlled all signs of
cancer in 21 percent of patients who had five or fewer disease sites.
Losing weight soon after type 2 diabetes diagnosis doubles positive outcomes
A four-year study at Kaiser Permanente's Center for Health Research looked at
2,574 adults and found that people who lost weight in the 18 months after a type 2
diabetes diagnosis were up to twice as likely to have better control of their blood
pressure and blood sugar, and were more likely to maintain that control even if they later
regained their weight. The study will appear August 12 in Diabetes Care.
Gene's newly explained effect on height may change tumor disorder treatment
A mutation that causes a childhood tumor syndrome also impairs growth hormone
secretion, researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have
found. The discovery provides new insights into an old mystery, revealing why patients
with neurofibromatosis type 1 are frequently shorter than their peers.
How the Brain Decides What to Believe
New research by neuroscientists at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory suggests that
the estimation of confidence that underlies decisions may be the product of a very basic
kind of information processing in the brain, shared widely across species and not strictly
confined to those, like humans, that are self-aware.
New insight into most common forebrain malformation
St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital scientists have identified one of the
molecular mechanisms underlying the genetic brain malformation called holoprosencephaly
(HPE). The findings not only yield insights into the most common developmental
malformation of the anterior brain and face in newborns, but also help in understanding
the intricate process by which the brain forms in the developing fetus.
Scientists measure connection between the built environment and obesity in baby
boomers
Results showed significant associations among built-environment factors and the
prevalence of overweight/obesity and various forms of physical activity in middle-aged and
older adults. These findings suggest the need for public health and city planning
officials to consider how modifiable neighborhood-level, built-environment characteristics
can create more livable residential communities and promote active, healthy lifestyles.
Signs of Alzheimer's disease may be present decades before diagnosis
Scientists from the University of South Florida and the University of Kentucky
report that people who develop Alzheimer's disease may show signs of this illness many
decades earlier in life, including compromised educational achievement.
