Plant-Based Diets for Multiple Sclerosis | May 21, 2013 | Michael Greger M.D. | NutritionFacts | The distinguished neurologist Roy Swank‘s low saturated fat diet remains the “most effective treatment of multiple sclerosis ever reported in the peer review literature.” In patients with early stage MS, 95% were without progression of their disease 34 years after adopting his meat and dairy-restricted diet. Even patients with initially advanced disease showed significant benefit. To date, no medication or invasive procedure has ever come close to demonstrating such success. Read more...

Gluten: 5 things you need to know | Dr. Arthur Agatston, CNN | April 5, 2013 | Living gluten-free can make you fat. Some people who go off gluten to lose weight end up gaining weight instead. That's because they consume gluten-free packaged products that are often just as high in saturated fat, sugar and sodium as other junk food, and these products often contain high-glycemic refined ingredients like white rice flour or fillers like potato starch that can affect your blood sugar and trigger cravings.

His collaboration with Carlos Santana is a fusion of old-school and contemporary blues, merged into this powerful tune. Read more...

Colonoscopy May Be Overused in Older Adults Raising Health Risk | Nicole Ostrow | Bloomberg News | March 11, 2013 | The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, an independent medical advisory group to the government, and the American College of Physicians recommend against routine colon cancer screening after age 75.

Food fraud in America: What are you really eating? | Victor Paul Alvarez | 03-12-2013 | Yahoo | Their research found that olive oil, milk, saffron and coffee joined honey and fish as the most commonly fraudulent products on the market. Most of the reported food fraud comes from producers adding fillers or diluting the real deal with less expensive ingredients. Clouding agents were found in 877 food products from 315 different companies. Vegetable oil was discovered in bottles of olive oil. Grape juice was passed for pomegranate juice. Given that even the best palates can be fooled by food tech trickery, it’s difficult to completely avoid being duped Read more...

Study Finds Reverse Evolution Among Dust Mites, Shift from Parasitic to Free-Feeding Lifestyle | Rafal Rogoza | Mar 08, 2013 | LatinosPost | Researchers analyzed DNA from more than 700 different mite species and tested 62 different hypotheses about their evolution.

Parasitic dust mites are believed to have evolved from free-living organisms. Read more...
5 Supplements You Should Be Cautious About | More is not always better-and more can sometimes be dangerous.

Autism, Depression Genetically Linked | MICHAEL SMITH, MedPage Today | Feb. 28, 2013 | ABCNews | Autism, attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, and schizophrenia share common genetic underpinnings, despite differences in their symptoms and disease courses, a new study found. Read more...
EDITOR'S COMMENT: This latest genetic research is all well and good, except virtually all conventional medical and psychiatric treatments of Autism and Depression still do not include the vast arrays of herbal remedies along with very valid nutritional standards not generally acknowledged by this group.
Eating correctly can and does induce great recoveries in countless cases. I've seen it. Why are these remedies not made protocol? Simple answer, the same reason as most holistic and natural remedies, with testimonials going back thousands of years: There is not nearly as much money to be made when herbs are used instead of much more expensive drugs, that along with premium insurance and other expenses, is way more expensive than simply eating correctly, while living according to ancient principles - Harm no Others.
One can actually affect genetic code and shift brain patterns easily, just by shifting diet away from foods known to restrict blood flow to the brain, like those high in saturated fats. That would be a good start. We have a great page started on subject, just click here.

Venus Williams dishes on raw vegan diet: 'I'm not perfect, but I try' | JANUARY 14, 2013 | SAMANTHA CHANG | Examiner | | "I don’t always eat raw, especially before matches," she says.

EDITOR'S COMMENT: This is a great testimonial. Venus Williams actually pulled back from what was diagnosed as a "chronic illness" by converting to the vegan / raw diet. Bottom line: It works.
7 of 10 Most Air-Polluted Cities Are in China | JAN 16, 2013 / TRACY STAEDTER | discovery | The cost of pollution is measurable. Last year, 700 flights needed to be canceled due to smog and low visibility. And according to CNN, Beijing Hyundai Motor Company suspended production this past Sunday, and nearly 30 construction sites stopped construction. There has been a sharp rise in the frequency of car accidents, respiratory illness, and according to ShanghaiList, the big hospitals in Beijing, Jinan, Shijiazhuang and Nanning are crowded with patients.

EDITOR'S COMMENT: HPV human papillomavirus is easily controlled by simple hygenic standards, and I consider most vaccines simply too dangerous. Note that author of previous article seems to thing vaccines are important to control HPV - I respectfully disagree.

Cosmic radiation could accelerate neurodegeneration like Alzheimer's | Mark Hoffman | Jan 02, 2013 | SCIENCE WORLD REPORT | It is the first such study to explore effects of cosmic radiation, meaning high-mass, high-charged (HZE) particles like iron on the nervous system, leading to a phenomenon known as neurodegeneration, according to the authors. Read more...
EDITOR'S COMMENT: Although I highly question animal testing, I am against GMO applications and torture of animals in experiments like this, posting represents a real challenge, one we are all facing regardless, with increased radiation from the Sun in both 2012 and 2013. Best case scenario is adopting a healthier diet reducing saturated fats from most animal products, trans fats from frying, etc. Anything "sticky" like this in our human systems can exacerbate radioactive isotopes' ability to "latch on" then later mutate into debilitating conditons.
