Diet, Exercise Better Than Vitamins in Promoting Health

Harvard men's health watch is telling everyone how dangerous vitamin supplements are. Unfortunately they are not kidding!

Please know that although we have our references to try to refute these statements, your patient's families will be hearing this stuff.

While it was once hoped that supplements of folic acid could help reduce colon cancer, new research has shown that taking more than the minimum daily requirement would be harmful. Simon says other studies underscore the downside to dietary supplements, which are unregulated in the Read more...

Liver Cancer Patients May Get Hope

(HealthDay News) -- A short strand of RNA (microRNA) may help doctors identify liver cancer patients who would benefit from treatment with interferon, say U.S. and Chinese researchers.

"Interferon is an experimental therapeutic agent that has been used for many years to treat cancer patients, but with modest benefit," study first author Junfang Ji, of the liver carcinogenesis section at the U.S. National Cancer Institute's Center for Cancer Research, said in a news release.

The pH Miracle Living Diet Can Change Your Life

Plagued by a stubborn roll of belly fat that just won't disappear no matter how hard you diet?

Worn down by the daily grind of life, but your doctor only issues the standard "eat less, exercise more, and get more sleep" advice?

Maybe you need to take a long hard look at the pH Miracle Living Lifestyle and Diet Plan.

It's not really a diet at all in the usual sense, but more of a change in the types of foods eaten.
The idea behind it is to eliminate foods high in acid, like animal protein and dairy, and metabolic acids like lactic acid, estrogen and testosterone which causes the body to retain fat to buffer those dietary and metabolic acids. Read more...

If You Want Help From a Chimp, You'll Have to Ask

(HealthDay News) -- While chimpanzees will help each other upon request, they're not likely to offer help voluntarily, say researchers trying to understand the evolution of altruism.

A Japanese research team studied six pairs of chimpanzees (three mother-offspring pairs and three non-related adult pairs) in experiments designed to find out whether a chimpanzee would give a tool to a partner even if doing so wouldn't bring an immediate benefit. Read more...

Asparagus May Ease Hangover

To treat a hangover, drink lots of water, get plenty of rest -- and eat your asparagus, researchers say.

A new study shows that the amino acids and minerals in asparagus extract may ease hangovers and protect liver cells against the toxins in alcohol.

Researchers at the Institute of Medical Science and Jeju National University in South Korea analyzed the effect of extracts of asparagus shoots and leaves on human and rat liver cells in the lab. Read more...

Youth and Driving Don't Always Mix Safely

(HealthDay News) -- Teen drivers are more likely than adults to crash their car, due to their youth and inexperience -- but don't try telling them that.

Studies have found that teens have an overblown sense of their driving prowess, one that can and does put them in the middle of some truly terrible crashes. They also don't understand that distractions such as cell phones and teenage passengers can make driving more dangerous.

"Kids tend to judge their experience on getting a license," said Dr. Kenneth R. Ginsburg of the Center for Injury Research and Prevention at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. "The truth is that getting a driver's license is the very first step to gaining experience." Read more...

Surgical Deaths Linked to Handling of Complications

(HealthDay News) -- The way that a hospital handles the complications of surgery, not just the rate of those complications, determines the hospital's surgical death rate, a new study has found.

The study, which included more than 84,000 people who had surgery in U.S. hospitals, found about a twofold difference in surgical deaths between hospitals with the lowest rate and those with the highest -- 3.5 percent vs. 6.9 percent. This occurred despite a small difference in the overall rate of complications -- 24.6 percent in the hospitals with the lowest surgical mortality rate and 26.9 percent in those with the highest.

The emphasis in recent years has been on reducing the rate of surgical complications, said Dr. Justin B. Dimick, assistant professor of surgery at the University of Michigan and a co-author of the study, published in the Oct. 1 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine. Many hospitals have established point-by-point checklists that surgeons go through before operating. Read more...

Green Foods Protect Against The Acids That Cause Heart Dis

Green Foods Protect Against The Acids That Cause Heart Dis-ease

Researchers have discovered a possible reason why green vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower are good for the heart.

Their work suggests a chemical found in the vegetables can boost a natural defennce mechanism to protect arteries from disease.

The Imperial College London team hope their work could lead to new dietary treatments to prevent heart problems.

Details appear in Arteriosclerosis Thrombosis and Vascular Biology.

"Heart disease is caused by the build up of metabolic and dietary acid that is bound to fat leading to fatty plaques in the arteries known as atherosclerosis," states Dr. Robert O. Young, Director of Research at the pH Miracle Living Center in San Diego, California.

"However, arteries do not get clogged up with these acidic fatty plaques in a uniform way."

"Bends and branches of blood vessels - where blood flow is disrupted and can be sluggish due to excess acidic waste - are much more prone to the build-up," according to Dr. Young. Read more...
