(NaturalNews) Maybe you have a childhood memory of forgetting to clean your fish tank's filter. After all, it's easy to forget a fish tank even has a filter until it's so clogged up it starts to malfunction. Eventually, the tank is covered in slime and the health of your fish begins to fail. This scenario is much like the way we view our liver today. We often overlook the importance of the liver until it begins to adversely affect our health. However, this organ plays a vital role in cleansing, detoxifying and purification on a daily basis. The liver is also where many important nutrients are metabolized. Without a healthy liver, we cannot be healthy. Read more...

Body Burden Testing for Toxins?
Body burden tests measure levels of environmental toxins accumulating in our bodies via analysis of blood, urine, breast milk and other fluids and tissues. Also called bio-monitoring, the tests can tell us something about the extent of our exposure to various substances, but not necessarily what the effects of this "burden," if any, will be.
The tests became a hot topic in October 2007, after CNN ran a report on a family in California that had them performed back in 2004. Results showed than the two children, then 18 months and five years old, had seven times the exposure to contaminants including the flame retardants known as polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE's) of their parents. PDBEs are known to cause thyroid dysfunction in lab rats. So far, no problems have surfaced in the children, Read more...

Vitamin C and Treatment of Cancer
It is clear from this excellent 10 year old review of mainstream published literature including papers from National Cancer Institute that the current focus on using Vitamin C in cancer is well founded but short sighted when doctors who have not studied the subject in any depth erroneously conclude that only intravenously administered vitamin C has value in the treatment and prevention of cancer.

Green Tea Component May Slow Prostate Cancer
(HealthDay News) -- The active compounds in green tea might slow the progression of prostate cancer, the results of a small study suggest.
The study included 26 men, 41 to 72 years old, who had prostate cancer and were scheduled for radical prostatectomy. The men took four capsules a day of an investigational agent called Polyphenon E, an amount equivalent to about 12 cups of normally brewed, concentrated green tea. The men took the capsules for 12 to 73 days, with a median time of 34.5 days, but stopped the day before surgery.
The phase 2 study found "significant" reductions in the men's serum levels of markers predictive of prostate cancer progression, including hepatocyte growth factor, vascular endothelial growth factor and prostate specific antigen. In some men, reductions in levels of these markers were greater than 30 percent, the researchers found.
There were few reported side effects, and the men's liver function remained normal, according to James A. Cardelli, a professor and director of basic and translational research at the Feist-Weiller Cancer Center at Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center-Shreveport, and his research colleagues. The findings are reported in Cancer Prevention Research. Read more...

Biotech Soybeans Good Source of Omega-3
(HealthDay News) -- Oil from genetically modified soybeans boosts levels of an important omega-3 fatty acid in the body, which may reduce the risk of heart attacks, U.S. researchers say.
They created soybeans that produce oils rich in stearidonic acid (SDA), which is converted by the body into an omega-3 fatty acid called eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA).
"We know that giving pure EPA to people reduces their risk for heart disease. Presumably, if you gave this special soybean oil to people, you'd do the same thing -- reduce heart attacks," study author William Harris, a professor of medicine at Sanford School of Medicine at the University of South Dakota and chief of cardiovascular health research at Sanford Research/USD, said in a news release.
