Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) recently reported the results of a study that successfully reversed and prevented type 1 diabetes with the administration of two cancer treatments. The drugs, known as imatinib (Gleevec) and sunitinib (Sutent), are normally used to treat a variety of cancers including gastrointestinal stomach tumors (GIST).

During the study, researchers found that 80 percent of the time type 1 diabetes entered into remission among test mice and worked permanently in 80 percent of those that go into remission, according to news reports on the study. Additionally, researchers found that by administering the two cancer treatments before the onset of autoimmune diabetes, prevented development of the condition.

The study, funded Continue Reading

We are exposed to pollutants and toxins daily – the air we breathe and the water we drink might be contaminated, the food we eat may contain lots of preservatives, artificial colouring and flavoring and others.

Toxic cells are recognized as the root of over 90% of known diseases. Hence, it is very important to detoxify the body’s cells daily to lead a healthy lifestyle and stay healthy.

Today, consumers purchase expensive massage equipment, painful foot reflexology, ion cleansing and food supplement programs for body detoxification. However, most consumers have overlooked water towards a healthy lifestyle. Water is an imperative agent of body detoxification.

Regular bowel movement is an important measure in discharging toxins from the colon. Colon Continue Reading

My research into weight loss aids and supplements have always left me curious about the many benefits of green tea dieting. In this article I hope to mention some of the main benefits of green tea dieting. Although it’s not a diet per say, it involves drinking green tea with your meals, or alternatively, supplementing with green tea extract capsules. But just what is it that makes green tea so effective?

The occurrence of an anti-oxidant called epigallocatechin gallate, or EGCG, is one of the greatest benefits of green tea dieting. Researchers were puzzled for years as to why the French have relatively few heart diseases even though they eat a diet rich in fat. It turned out that the answer lied in red wine, which contains a chemical that reduces the negative effects of Continue Reading

What is anaemia?

Anaemia is derived from a Greek word meaning “without blood.” It is a condition whereby, there is a deficiency of red blood cells, or haemoglobin. This leads to a lack of oxygen-carrying ability of the body.

The three main types of anaemia include:

1. Excessive or acute blood loss, known as haemorrhage.

2. Excessive blood cell destruction known as haemolysis

3. Deficient red blood cell production known as haematopoisis.

To produce red blood cells, the body needs iron, vitamin B12 and folic acid, among other things. If there is a lack of one or more of these substances, anaemia will develop.

Anaemia is not a disease in itself. It is not only due to iron or vitamin deficiency. It may also be due to Continue Reading

For years, the tobacco industry was embroiled in a heated campaign to prevent warning messages from being placed on cigarette packs. The medical evidence was overwhelming and the tobacco industry finally capitulated to government mandates that required the warning labels. Soon after the twenty plus year warning label battle was settled in a federal courtroom, the issue of second hand smoke and its impact on non-smokers became the dominant issue.

The second hand smoke debate was convincingly won by the medical community. A sundry of municipal and state laws were passed that prohibited smoking in public places, including places of employment. There are, however, a number of states and cities that refuse to implement a public smoking ban. Because of the patchwork of smoking laws, Continue Reading
