Doctors withhold life-saving exercise advice from 69% of bowel cancer patients

Doctors withhold life-saving exercise advice from 69% of bowel cancer patients

Patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer in the English National Health Service (NHS) in 2010 and 2011 were given a survey in 2013 titled "Living with and Beyond Colorectal Cancer." Over 15,000 respondents gave complete data for the study. The survey was focused on physical activity and questioned patients about their activity levels after diagnosis and whether their doctor gave them important exercise advice, including duration of physical activity on a weekly basis. The objective of the study was to find out whether a doctor's exercise advice after cancer diagnosis would prompt patients to engage in more physical activity. The study found out that doctors routinely withhold life-saving advice on exercise -- therefore leaving patients clueless about how physical activity can help them recover. Read more

Don't let erectile dysfunction get you down

Don't let erectile dysfunction get you down

Americans tend to ignore the obvious, never treat the cause, and pop a pill to treat symptoms. Erectile dysfunction is a symptom of toxic sluggish blood and an unbalanced, unhealthy hormonal system. If you would like to take the other route, you can regain your sexual prowess by healing your body, improving your circulation, and regaining your health. Read more

Biologist explains how marijuana causes tumor cells to commit suicide

Biologist explains how marijuana causes tumor cells to commit suicide

The therapeutic potential of cannabis appears limitless, extending far beyond just relieving nausea or pain in the terminally ill. Christina Sanchez, a molecular biologist from Compultense University in Madrid, Spain, has been studying the molecular activity of cannabinoids for more than 10 years, and during this time she and her colleagues have learned that tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, the primary psychoactive component of cannabis, induces tumor cell "suicide" while leaving healthy cells alone.

This amazing discovery was somewhat unexpected, as Sanchez and her team had initially been studying brain cancer cells for the purpose of better understanding how they function. But in the process, they observed that, when exposed to THC, tumoral cells not only ceased to multiply and proliferate but also destroyed themselves, both in lab tests and animal trials. Sanchez first reported on this back in 1998, publishing a paper on the anti-cancer effects of THC in the European biochemistry journal FEBS Letters. Read more

Bourbon virus - New quick killing virus spread by ticks

Bourbon virus - New quick killing virus spread by ticks

In the spring of 2014, a Bourbon County, Kansas farmer sought hospital treatment. Eleven days later, he died. His symptoms included fever, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, anorexia, and a rash. Blood work showed thrombocytopenia (reduced platelet count, which inhibits clotting making the patient more susceptible to bleeding) and leukopenia (reduced white blood cell count, inhibiting immune response to the pathogen). The patient said he had been bitten by ticks.

The CDC determined the man suffered from a never before encountered RNA virus of the genus Thogotovirus, viruses that are found around the world. There is no cure for Bourbon virus. There has not yet been another identified case of this virus. Scientists do not know if this virus affects other animals.

Naturally, there is concern about whether there is a new virus spreading from tick to tick and across the animal kingdom that we have little to no treatment for, but we can remain vigilant and take care of ourselves and our pets to lessen the likelihood of exposure. Read more

Kale's active ingredients combat cancer

Kale's active ingredients combat cancer

Kale has become increasingly popular in recent times as more people not only discover its delicious flavor but also learn more about the many health benefits it can bring. And more evidence shows that one of these benefits is a reduced risk of cancer development.

Cancer remains a serious threat to human health and is one of the top 10 killers in the United States and other countries around the world. Kale, however, has been shown to be able to strengthen the immune system and also stop the conversion of some lesions into cancerous cells; studies have shown this to be the case for oral, colorectal, breast, prostate, kidney and esophageal cancers, some of the most common forms of the cancer in existence.

4 Terrible Facts About Energy Drinks

4 Terrible Facts About Energy Drinks

Usually marketed with the lure of more energy or a mental or physical boost, energy drinks usually feature a cocktail of caffeine and vitamins (and maybe something like ginseng or taurine). Sales in the U.S. are on the rise, with a 10 percent increase from 2008 to 2012. This is a global concern—yes, concern. Energy drinks are quickly becoming a public health crisis since high caffeine levels could lead to caffeine intoxication, a condition that can lead to “heart palpitations, hypertension, nausea and vomiting, convulsions, psychosis, and in rare cases, death.” [1] That alone sounds like reason enough to stay far away from those evil energy drinks.
