Giving everyone higher levels of vitamin D as part of a public health drive could cut the incidence of breast cancer by a quarter and bowel cancer by a third, scientists say.

The finding is based on a review of 2,750 research studies involving vitamin D -  which show that taking daily supplements could play a key role in cancer prevention.

Vitamin D – often called ‘bottled sunshine’ – is made by the action of sunlight on the skin. Read more

ORLANDO, Fla. — Hormone therapy taken by women to counter the effects of menopause can increase the risk of dying from lung cancer, researchers reported here on Saturday.

The findings represent the latest black mark against a therapy already being used much more sparingly than it once was. But researchers said the new data should serve as a caution to women who did continue to take hormones not to smoke. Read more

It is a commonplace that space can exert influence on man. The sun flares trigger health problems in certain persons susceptible to weather changes. Aside from causing the tides, the Moon also activates the sleepwalkers. Everybody seems to have heard that Earth might collide with an asteroid one of these days. Earth itself can impact on the life and condition of humans in a more significant way:

1. Strange low-frequency radiation is emitted from the bowels of the earth. It has a detrimental effect on any living organism. Read more

“On Wednesday morning there were 50 confirmed cases of swine flu in Australia. By last night (approximately 36 hours later)  that number had tripled.”

Health experts are warning Australians are in for a marathon – not a sprint – as the number of swine flu cases surges.  This morning the Federal Government said Australia had 148 confirmed cases. Victoria is by far the worst-affected state with 96 cases, with New South Wales a distant second with 33.  In Queensland there are only nine confirmed cases – but authorities there are still dealing with a cruise ship at the centre of an outbreak.

The Pacific Dawn was forced to make an unscheduled stop in the state’s north – just hours after it was ruled a transmission risk – to drop off a girl who had suffered a fractured arm. Read more

Knowledge is a funny thing.  You approach it like a rock or a stump when you are out for a walk on the beach or out in the woods.  You kick it over and it reveals the truth of its secret underside to you.  Knowledge once attained  demands action.  You can probe it or you can walk away from it trying to pretend you didn’t see it or anything in between.  One way or another,  you have to deal with it.

One way of dealing with it is to take that knowledge,  plug it into your paradigm and play the “What If”  game.  What if this happens or what if that happens?  What if’s can drive you crazy and as I tell my kids, What If’s don’t happen.  Is’s happen.  And if one of your envisioned What If’s should happen,  it is no longer a What If,  it is the Is.  I don’t like dealing with fears and What I’f’s.  I like dealing with Is ’s.  The problem is,  before you can deal with an Is,  you have to know what the Is,  is;  which is one of the reasons you play the ‘What If’ game.

The Court System of Missouri has had their brutal shackles coldly gripping the lives of Sonja De Vivo and her severed family for over a decade.  This is no run-of-the-mill ten year prison sentence; that would be far easier to stomach. It has been a savage court-ordered, daily regiment of emotional and psychological torture.  The storm troopers of the 21st Circuit Court of St. Louis County, Missouri, have been administering the torture upon Sonja De Vivo for 3,500 some-odd days and counting, without fail, and in true Nazi fashion.

New York – An innovative cockroach control strategy that keeps pesticide use to a minimum is much more effective than the standard approach — regular, massive sprays of powerful bug-killers — for wiping out the pests, a new study conducted in schools shows.

Exposure to cockroach allergens contributes to the development and worsening of asthma in children. Dr. Coby Schal of North Carolina State University in Raleigh and colleagues previously demonstrated that a strategy known as integrated pest management (IPM) works better than indiscriminate, regular spraying to control cockroach infestations and reduce levels of cockroach allergen in apartment buildings.  Read more

Selenium is an essential trace mineral. Small amounts of selenium are good for your health.

Function:

Selenium has a variety of functions. It helps make special proteins, called antioxidant enzymes, which play a role in preventing cell damage. Some medical information suggests that selenium may help prevent certain cancers, but better studies are needed.  There have also been mixed results regarding selenium’s impact on cardiovascular disease. Selenium seems to stimulate antibodies after you receive a vaccination. It also may help protect the body from the poisonous effects of heavy metals and other harmful substances. Selenium may boost fertility, especially among men. The mineral has been shown to improve the production of sperm and sperm movement. Read more

(NaturalNews) Brazil nuts are the best way to add selenium to your diet. A recent study at the University of Otago in New Zealand found that eating just two Brazil nuts a day is as effective in increasing selenium status and enhancing glutathione peroxidase activity as a recommended dosage of selenomethionine. Inclusion of this high-selenium food in the diet could avoid the need for fortification or supplements to improve selenium levels. Read more

(May 20, 2009) — The inactivated flu vaccine does not appear to be effective in preventing influenza-related hospitalizations in children, especially the ones with asthma. In fact, children who get the flu vaccine are more at risk for hospitalization than their peers who do not get the vaccine, according to new research that will be presented on May 19, at the 105th International Conference of the American Thoracic Society in San Diego.
