Wireless radiation and Fluoridation RE - http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0009912011027330 It shows that long term exposure (six years) to both cellphones and their base stations can alter human hormone profiles. The most significant (which the authors describe as highly significant in the text) are their effects on the thyroid hormones, which show a marked reduction over this period. Although the authors do not say it (I suspect that they dare not if they want to get their work published) this would result in hypothyroidism , the most important symptoms of which are fatigue and obesity.  Contents of Hydroflurosilicic acid Iodine WEEP reader comments: If cellphone exposure is combined with a fluoridated water supply, the low thyroid outcome is even more likely. See this history of the fluorine/iodine antagonism connection, and the use of fluorine-based drugs to treat overactive thyroid. http://poisonfluoride.com/pfpc/html/thyroid_history.html Please join the spread...

For about two decades I have been writing and education about thermography as a better and safer screening method for breast cancer.   The two best reasons are that it does not expose you to unnecessary radiation and it detects 10 years earlier than x-ray. This article may help you have a better view and also worth getting a copy to your health care provider. Sadly I have learned that in some radiology practices they will not allow ultrasound unless you have had a prior mammogram. Get the facts and take a stand for your best health. Excerpt from a clinical article highlighting the facts about thermography - Breast thermography has undergone extensive research since the late 1950's. Over 800 peer-reviewed studies on breast thermography exist in the index-medicus literature. In this database, well over 300,000 women have been included as study participants. The numbers of participants in many studies are very large -- 10K, 37K, 6...

Water! Yes, you've heard this cry many times I am sure.  But even in today's world it is extremely important to your health.  Its also not the truth, as so many in mainstream medicine tell you, that those 8 glasses a days aren't necessary.  Well, I certainly agree that the 8 glasses are needed, and I have my surgeon father to thank for that.  When he was in med school in the 1920s this was the rule. The "Cool Morning Draught" was also a very popular and health promoting traditional naturopathic therapy, and my mother always started her day this way. One of her favorite songs was "Cool Water " as sung by the Sons of the Pioneers.  She was lucky enough to have come from the place that supplies artesian wells drinking water to New Orleans. Seems too that forward thinking and health supporting doctors agree - one who I think offers  trustworthy and practical advice about all aspects of healthy living.

From Susan Brown, PhD Answering the question “how big is the bang from osteoporosis drugs?” can be quite challenging. One reason is that the statistical calculations are complex and highly manipulated making them difficult to understand. Another is that the subjects included in the drug studies are generally highly-selected and may not represent “real-world” populations. Recently scientists took an important step to help us separate hype from reality in regard to the benefits of bone drugs. Researchers asked if “real-world” patients taking bone drugs received the same fracture-reduction benefits seen in the clinical trials. After analysis of hundreds of studies, they found that highly compliant, “real world” patients on osteoporosis drugs experienced a 21% reduction in all clinical fractures. This compares to the 24% overall clinical fracture reduction experienced by subjects in osteoporosis drug clinical trials. What a different messages than we often hear  — such as how bone drug...

How we're fooled into using more medicine than we need. This is a guest post from independent medical investigative journalist Jeanne Lenzer. She is a former Knight Science Journalism Fellow and a frequent contributor to BMJ, and has published works in    The Atlantic, The New York Times Magazine, Discover, The New Republic,  and other outlets. When doctors recommend tests, drugs or surgeries to prevent bad outcomes (think cholesterol-lowering agents to prevent strokes or cardiac stents to prevent heart attacks) they tap into our deepest sense of what constitutes commonsense:  An ounce of prevention. Catch it early. A stitch in time. It can’t be a bad thing to catch problems early, can it? Unfortunately, one of the toughest things to explain is why detecting some illnesses at their earliest stages can cause more harm than good. Take this example: Since elevated cholesterol is associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular disease, doctors often prescribe drugs known...

For years I have been educating about the need for healthy fat in your diet, and for the sake of your health. I haven't been alone in this effort as you may know if you follow Weston A. Price and others who know the real benefits of fat.  And yes, lard counts. And remember that canola is not considered a healthy fat and it is a trans fat, even if the following article suggests it is not.  Canola is also toxic to your liver and too monounsaturated for health as well as being for the most part a GMO substance. Please read our articles about canola or request the mot recent issue of our newsletter fmi.    submitted by Emily Main    -     Olive oil is  sooooo  five minutes ago. People who are into  healthy cooking oils  and fats have moved on to duck fat, real lard, goose renderings, and coconut oil, according to a new report published by the market research firm Packaged Facts and the food trend spotters at the Center for Culinary...

DURHAM, N.H., Dec. 22 (UPI) -- Efforts to increase physician-nurse communication and build teamwork help reduce surgery-related complications such as blood clots, U.S. researchers say. Implementation of the Medical Team Training Program and Surgical Morbidity involved the surgical team taking a cue from aviation and having the surgical team use a checklist before surgery, as well as debriefings afterward, as pilots and co-pilots do. The study, published in the journal Archives of Surgery, said the communication-boosting program resulted in 15 percent fewer complications such as blood clots and infections. Yinong Young-Xu of EpiPatterns, a New Hampshire data analysis firm, and colleagues at the National Center for Patient Safety, Department of Veterans Affairs, White River Junction, Dartmouth Medical School, Baylor College of Medicine, Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center and the University of Michigan used data from the Veterans Health Administration Surgical Quality Improvement Progra...

How does long term exposure to base stations and mobile phones affect human hormone profiles? Emad F. Eskander ,  a ,  , Selim F. Estefan a , Ahmed A. Abd-Rabou a a Hormones Department, Medical Research Division, National Research Centre, Cairo, Egypt Received 9 December 2010; revised 2 November 2011; Accepted 6 November 2011. Available online 26 November 2011. Abstract Objectives This study is concerned with assessing the role of exposure to radio frequency radiation (RFR) emitted either from mobiles or base stations and its relations with human's hormone profiles. Design and methods All volunteers' samples were collected for hormonal analysis. Results This study showed significant decrease in volunteers' ACTH, cortisol, thyroid hormones, prolactin for young females, and testosterone levels. Conclusion The present study revealed that high RFR effects on pituitary–adrenal axis. Highlights ► This study is concerned with assessing the role of long-term exposure to...
