Berries protect against carcinogen-induced gene changes

The August 1, 2008 issue of the journal Cancer Research (http://cancerres.aacrjournals.org/) published the finding of researchers at Ohio State University that consuming black raspberries can prevent some of the genetic changes that result from carcinogen exposure, thereby reducing the risk of cancer.

Proanthocyanidins from Black Raspberries Transform Cancerous Cells

Scientists knew that proanthocyanidins had cancer-fighting properties and decided to focus on one of the most common types, cyanidin-3-rutinoside (C-3-R). Although it is abundant in grape skins and pine bark, scientists used C-3-R purified from black raspberries and tested it on several lines of human leukemia cells. They repeated the test using human lymphoma cells. [...]

Drinking Moderately or More Ups Men’s Cancer Risk

A man who drinks moderate or high amounts of alcohol over the course of his life appears to raise his risk for developing certain — but not all — kinds of cancer, a new crunching of quarter-century-old research data suggests. Read more

Physical Exercise Prevents and May Reverse A Cancerous Condition

Men who regularly do heart-pounding exercise are less likely to develop a cancerous condition, according to a study released Tuesday. The study, published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, found that the key factor in the reduced risk of any cancerous condition was a higher rate of oxygen consumption – which is alkalizing to [...]

vassociated with reduced five year mortality

An article published online on July 13, 2009 in the American Journal of Epidemiology reported the results of a study conducted by researchers at Seattle’s Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center which found that vitamin C and vitamin E supplement users had a lower risk of dying over a five year period than those who did [...]

The Relationship Between Root Canals and Cancer

When a person in the United States has a toothache, due to an infection in the tooth, rather than cure the infection with 3% food grade hydrogen peroxide, dentists almost always kill the tooth. They will typically drill out the insides of the tooth and fill the tooth with metal rods. Read more

The Many Prentative Health Benefits of Vitamin D

Scientific evidence shows vitamin D may go beyond its traditionally known role in maintaining bone integrity, according to new research presented at the Institute of Food Technologists Annual Meeting and Food Expo® earlier this month. It may play a role in preventing autoimmune dis-eases or over-acid tissue conditions such as multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis, [...]

Radiation May Raise Stroke Risk After Hodgkin’s

Hodgkin’s lymphoma survivors who are treated with radiation therapy have a greatly increased risk of stroke and transient ischemic attack, also called a “mini-stroke,” new research has found. Read more

Vitamin C and Cancer

This is sad that they combine C with chemo and the tumor grows much larger so it means that vitamin C protected against the DNA damage the chemo normally induces. That does not mean that Pauling was wrong. He saw this as a monotherapy, i.e. used all by itself without chemo would extend the average [...]

Acids From Alcohol and Protein Causes Cancer

Drinking more than one acid alcoholic beverage a day dramatically increases your risk of developing a cancerous bowel. Large amounts of highly acidic red meat increases this risk, according to researchers at The George Institute in Sydney, Australia, who analyzed more than 100 international studies reaching as far back as the 1960s.

Review affirms multiple benefits for resveratrol

A review scheduled for publication in the September, 2009 issue of the journal Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research summarizes the health-promoting effects of resveratrol, a polyphenol compound found in red grapes, wine, and other plant foods.

University of Queensland School of Biomedical Sciences associate professor Lindsay Brown and colleagues conclude that resveratrol may help protect against [...]

Questions & Answers on the Science of Emotions Causing Acidity

The following are questions to Dr. Young and his answers on how emotions can make us sick, tired and fat.
Question: Can negative emotions affect the body’s pH? Can negative emotions affect our bodies’ health?
Dr. Robert O. Young: My research has continuously supported the theory that there is only one sickness and only one disease. [...]

CANCER IS A FOUR LETTER WORD!

ACID is an acronym which stands for:
A = acidic food and drink, attitudes and activities C = compromised internal acidic environment I = illness, disease, and dis-ease D = desire for more acidic foods, drinks, attitudes and activities.
And the cycle repeats itself.
Dr. Otto Warburg, two-time Nobel Prize winner, stated in his book, The Metabolism of [...]

New model of cancer development proposed

In an article scheduled to appear in the Annals of Epidemiology, epidemiologist Cedric Garland, DrPH and his associates at the University of California San Diego’s Moores Cancer Center propose that cancer, rather than commencing with genetic mutations, is initially caused by a reduction in the of ability of cells to stick together.
Research has shown that [...]

Cancer Medicine Advances on Many Fronts

(HealthDay News) — The war against cancer gathered steam in 2008, as new drugs tackled the toughest cancers with some success, and advances were made in both disease prevention and risk factor identification. Read more

Experts Highlight Inroads to Preventing Cancer

(HealthDay News) — Scientists looking at everyday factors that influence cancer risk are finding important new clues that could affect cancer prevention strategies.
“Many of us believe that prevention is better than trying to identify drugs for people after they get cancer,” said Dr. Peter Shields, deputy director of the Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center and interim [...]

Smokers with high levels of two chemicals in their urine are 8.5 times more likely to get cancer

A new study has found that smokers are 8.5 times more likely to get lung cancer if two chemical byproducts of tobacco smoke are found in their urine – findings that could lead to the development of a new test to predict lung cancer risk in smokers. … Continue Reading

New Technology Allows Better Monitoring of Cancer Cells

(HealthDay News) — A new imaging technology could help improve the tracking of changes in cancer cells, according to researchers from the Stanford University School of Medicine.
The technology uses specially designed dye-containing nanoparticles to simultaneously measure dozens of features in or on a single cell.
Current single-flow technologies are capable of up to 17 simultaneous measurements, [...]

Health Tip: Lumps in the Breast

(HealthDay News) — If you detect a lump in your breast, it’s very important to have a doctor examine it promptly.
