Resveratrol is known to come from the Japanese knotweed. It has been shown to be a huge benefit in regards to cancer, diabetes, and many other diseases that we encounter throughout the course of our lives. It is also beneficial in weight loss, due to the positive effect it has on blood sugar levels. The benefits of Resveratrol have been documented in experiments with mice and rats, but they have yet to undergo the same testing with humans. Resveratrol has also been found in the skin of red grapes and is in red wine as well. The amounts of it in these two things have yet to be confirmed. Some studies that have been done in animals have found that Resveratrol can increase the life span[..]

Women and the NFL have joined forced to make a great partnership. In the past women have not been considered fans of football because of the violence of the game and because they were never taught the rules of the sport. Well guys, times have changed. Ladies are becoming just as passionate and knowledgeable about the game as men are. Women are starting to have their own fantasy football leagues, their own football parties, and even their own all-women football teams. At one time football classes were started so women could learn about the game so they could get closer to their boyfriends or husbands. Now, women enjoy football just as much as men do, and some women like football even more[..]

Healthcare reform has now become entangled in the latest controversy over whether affordable healthcare for all translates to healthcare rationing. This week, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) issued its latest recommendations on screening for breast cancer, published in the November 17 issue of Annals of Internal Medicine. New guidelines advise routine mammography screening for women starting at age 50 and repeated every two years until the age of 74, presuming there is no history of breast cancer in themselves or family. No longer is the advisory panel recommending routine screening for women between the ages of 40-49. According to the U.S. Census Bureau's Population[..]

Do you have breast issues? Has breast cancer nodded its ugly head toward you? As a two-time survivor, I'll share some of my musings on beauty and the breast. Weight gain Breast cancer patients often gain weight from treatment. This fact escaped me when I first underwent treatment with chemotherapy. One reason is chemo-induced fatigue, resulting in decreased activity. Another is steroids contained in pre-chemo medications. To combat these effects, patients should eat a balanced diet of lean proteins, whole grains, fruits and vegetables, and healthful fats in moderate amounts. In addition, cancer survivors should invest in exercise if at all possible. Once chemo was through, I hit the gym.[..]

There is a strong move within the medical communities and government bodies such as the US FDA to make sure that people who are ill are not subject to scam claims about alternative cancer remedies and natural cancer treatments. This would be fair enough if the medical community was actually offering treatments that worked. Unfortunately some of them have been shown to be medically ineffective. An important medical paper in 2004 showed that chemotherapy only increased the average 5 year survival rates by just over 2% (reference below). Chemotherapy for breast cancer, for example, has an average increased 5-year survival rate of only 1.5%. A number of cancers (soft tissue sarcoma, melanoma[..]

Menopause is an important event in the aging process for all women. This physical transition from the reproductive years to non-reproductive years is clinically defined as having had no menstrual period for 12 consecutive months. The average age of menopause in the United States is 51, but it can be affected by such factors as smoking, alcohol use, having irregular cycles in the decade prior to menopause (all associated with earlier age at menopause), and mother's age at menopause. While some women never experience anydiscomfort during menopause, the majority of women do. Hot flashes are the most common complaint, occurring in 70 percent to 85 percent of women. Night sweats are also[..]

A few days after childbirth women may some time experience pain when breastfeeding the baby. Women are experiencing what we call engorgement. Engorgement is also an inflammation of the breast, which means the woman often feels a lump in one part of the breast, and the skin in the area is red and warm. Why does this happen? And what is the cause of it? This condition happens when the breast produces too much milk, the breast of a nursing mother becomes heavy and sore. How to overcome it? 1. A mother can remove the excess milk by hand massage or by a breast pump. Frequent nursing can empty or lower the presence of milk in the breast.

Not a trivial or academic question. Time magazine identified the NBC's Meet the Press moderator and Washington bureau chief as one of the 100 most influential people in world in 2008. His loss at such a young age, 58, is tragic. His ability to make complex topics clear for the public and to ask the hard questions will be missed in this the most historic presidential races in American history. But was his sudden passing and fatal heart attack an avoidable tragedy? His internist, Dr. Michael Newman, who is affiliated with George Washington Medical Center, noted that Mr. Russert died of asudden coronary thrombosis, which can occur without warning. Mr.Russert had been diagnosed with[..]

I am sure that most of you will know that your skin is the largest organ of your body, the skin can absorb chemicals in to your blood stream which in turn, will be distributed through out your body system. Many people assume that your skin is watertight and therefore is a protective cover, well it certainly is a protective cover, but it is unable to keep out chemicals either toxic, or non - toxic. That is why there are such medicinal patches like Hormone Replacement Therapy, or Nicotene patches to help you stop smoking, the chemicals are absorbed slowly through the skin. Most homes and bathrooms are loaded with toxic chemicals, the first one to think of, is your Deodorant, these are[..]

Have you skipped your yearly mammogram or pap test due to not having health insurance? First of all, this is important for women to not skimp on. The mammograms are helpful for detecting breast cancer and preventing it from being found at a late stage. The pap test is useful to screen for cervical cancer or any ovarian issues. No one likes these tests to begin with so it's easy to put them off. Even if you don't have health insurance, this is important to not skip. Here are some other the recommended tests for women. For the thyroid and to check the tsh levels, the first exam is suggested at age 35 and after that it should be tested every five years. A colonoscopy is recommended for[..]

Alternative cancer treatments refer to alternative and complementary treatments for cancer that have not undergone rigorous scientific and clinical testing as is expected by medical practitioners. Some of these alternative cancer treatments include herbs, chemicals, mixtures, devices and manual procedures. Such procedures are not usually supported by evidence because they have not been tested or they lack statistically positive results. Concerns have also been raised in regard to the safety of some of these alternatives treatment methods. These alternative treatment methods can be categorized into three groups. We have the unproven cancer treatments that are used as a substitute to the[..]

Beast ultrasounds and mammography tests alone are good techniques for detecting breast cancer. However, recent studies have showed that these two tests, performed together, can show small, node-negative breast cancers not seen on mammography alone. Breast ultrasound is a non-invasive test performed on women suspected to have breast cancer. It makes use of a transducer similar to that used for prenatal ultrasounds. Images are produced by the transducer emitting sound waves that bounce off layers of mass in the breast and is transformed into an image seen on the screen. This is a quick process that requires only around 3o minutes of your time and is safe to undergo as often as necessary.[..]

With the opening of Whole Foods grocery store down on Sand Lake and Turkey Lake Rd, and Publix having just bought about 50 Albertson's grocery stores, and the rumor that the Albertsons on Dr Phillips is going to be a "Green Wise", the healthy food industry is becoming more and more important to the consumer. So I thought I would give you an overview of the entire industry. When we speak of 'organic' we are talking about standards for growing, storage, processing, packaging and shipping. It generally involves 1. Avoidance of synthetic chemicals in the production of food 2. Growing food on Farmlands that have been free of chemical for at least three years 3. In farms where both organic and[..]

Understanding prostrate cancer warning signs is very important as nearly every man experience some type of prostrate problem during his lifetime. Enlargement of the prostate is commonly experienced by men after the age of forty-five. Although this may not be a problem in itself, it is uncomfortable and could potentially develop into more serious maladies.

When female-specific health problems crop up, they’re often a hormonal problem. Hormone imbalances are very common and cause a host of problems like acne and premature aging in women, to more complicated and serious problems such as extreme menstrual pain, and very heavy menstrual blood flows too. Many times hormonal imbalances can actually cause problems such as infertility, or the inability to carry pregnancies to term as well. It’s a common misconception that women don't start having hormonal problems until they're reaching menopause, but this is not always the case. Many women have hormonal problems all throughout their lives. Teen girls, of course, are known to have[..]

ipt type="text/javascript"> Dogs have long been accepted as man’s best friend. But nosy ones have provided inspiration to a laser research team working on early cancer detection methods to devise a breathalyzer-type tool that could significantly improve survival rates for suffering millions. Researchers at University of Oklahoma are reportedly working to create a sensor to detect bio-marker gases exhaled in the breath of a person with cancer, picking up on earlier studies showing that dogs can detect cancer by sniffing the exhaled breath of cancer patients. In a study published two years ago, it was found that dogs identified breast and lung cancer patients with accuracies of 88%[..]

It's one of the main goals of the entire medical community: finding a cure for cancer. While there is currently no guaranteed cure for this frightening and often terminal disease, medical advances have enabled doctors to not only prolong cancer patients' lives, but also improve their quality of life while doing so. However, this does not change the fact that there is no better way to deal with cancer than to take steps to prevent it before you get it. Recently, several scientists have suggested that taking large amounts of omega 3 fatty acids, a nutrient that your body needs to function but cannot produce on its own, might actually impede the progress of cancer. This suggestion has upset[..]

More and more people now believe that cancer can be caused by environmental toxins. On the other hand, others say that the causal-effect relationship between cancer and the environment can be hard to prove. Still, there is no denying that cancer cases are on the rise. You would most likely know of someone who has developed cancer. And cancer can strike at any part of the body and spread rapidly throughout. Most conventional doctors believe strongly that genes are the causes of cancer. A common question that a doctor may ask during a diagnosis is whether anyone in your family has it as well. He is less likely to explore the possibility of environmental toxins causing cancer in you[..]

And, to make matters worse, I read it on[..]

We all know that healthy cholesterol levels offer protection to our hearts. Now two new studies published in the journal Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention suggest another benefit - reduce cholesterol level and reduce your risk of developing certain cancers. The pair of studies conducted by a team of cancer researchers suggests low cholesterol doesn't deserve its worrisome reputation, or its association with a higher cancer risk earned thanks to a series of studies in the 1980s. This latest work found low total cholesterol was associated with almost 60% less risk of the most aggressive type of prostate cancer. Higher levels of good cholesterol, also known as HDL, were shown to[..]
