Pancreatic cancer is notorious for being aggressive and hard to treat. Learn about some of the risk factors and symptoms to watch out for.
Pancreatic cancer, sometimes dubbed the “King of Cancer“ due to its malignancy, poses challenges in both early detection and late-stage treatment. Understanding its causes and warning signs enables people to take preventive measures. Continue reading
Medicinal herbs and their phytocompounds are being increasingly considered to be helpful in alternative cancer treatments. Many clinical studies have reported the benefits of herbal medicines on cancer patients’ survival, immune modulation, and quality of life.
Some clinical trials used these herbal medicines in combination with conventional therapeutics. These studies investigated the use of herbal medicines for various cancers and the development of randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Continue reading
The shirt on your back, the carpet beneath your feet, and the takeout container from last night’s dinner share a troubling secret: They’re slowly breaking down into invisible particles that are turning up everywhere, from Mount Everest’s peak to your bloodstream.
These microscopic plastic fragments, ranging in size from invisible to no larger than the width of a pencil eraser, have silently invaded human bodies in ways scientists are only beginning to understand – and the implications are unsettling, according to a September scientific review.

The prostate is a walnut-sized gland located just beneath the urinary bladder. It is part of the urinary system and the reproductive system. There are passages through the prostate that carry either urine or semen. In fact, the prostate also helps produce semen, the thick fluid that carries sperm cells produced in the testicles. The prostate surrounds the upper part of the urethra, which is the tube that carries urine from the bladder.
Prostate function is regulated by testosterone, the male sex hormone, which is produced primarily in the testicles. Prostate cancer is a cancer that starts in the prostate gland, but may spread to other organs and tissues of the body.
Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men worldwide. In 2012, for example, there were 1.1 million cases of prostate cancer and over 300,000 men died from the disease. Continue reading
The diagnosis of prostate cancer relies heavily on the results of a prostate biopsy. A pathologist will analyze the biopsy and assignment a Gleason score or grade. Gleason scores reflect how likely it is that it tumor will spread. The score can vary between 2 and 10 where 2 indicates a small likelihood of spread and 10 indicates a high likelihood of spread. The oncologist will also determine the size of the tumor, if there are cancer cells in nearby lymph nodes or if there is any cancer present in distant tissues (metastasis). The choice of conventional treatment is based on PSA level, Gleason scores, and other information about the prostate tumor. Unfortunately, a negative biopsy (no disease seen) does not exclude the diagnosis of prostate cancer (i.e., a false negative result). Continue reading
I have believed for a long time that the American Medical Complex and the Consumer Food and Beverage Industrial Complex have little interest in the prevention of disease. It makes far better business sense to let the population eat, drink and smoke to their heart’s content and then offer seemingly high tech and expensive methods for cleaning up the aftermath. In the United States, the food industry alone generates 500 billion dollars in sales: Bacon, eggs, milk, fast food franchises, soft drinks, fried food, dead food, overcooked food, sweets, treats and canned goods.
We have gotten away from simple diets and become human garbage disposals. Sixty percent of the American public is overweight. Clearly the large food conglomerates are successfully marketing to an oblivious public. After feeding your body with dead and processed foods for 20, 30, 40 or more years, things begin to run less perfectly. We have overlooked the processing energy required to digest bacon and eggs each morning, that steak in the evening and the cocktails in between. The result is the current health crisis where one in three will have cancer in their lifetimes — not to mention heart disease. ~ Greg Stirling, Vancouver, British Columbia

But it’s NOT Such Sweet Sorrow!
Whether you call it gas, passing wind, or flatulence, farting is a normal bodily function. In fact, the extra gas in your body *must* come out. But if you have excessive gas and smelly farts, you likely want an immediate solution. You may also be wondering, “why do I fart so much in the first place?”
Excessive gas is extremely common, says Aja McCutchen, MD, a gastroenterologist at Atlanta Gastroenterology Associates and advisor to ModifyHealth. “This is one of the most common issues I see in patients, and it affects a wide range of people across different demographics.”
But whether it’s health related or caused by a specific food (looking at you, broccoli!), it’s worth finding out why you have so much gas all the time. Here’s everything you need to know about why you fart 100 times a day and how to stop. Continue reading
The above graph shows the rise of colorectal cancer in Americans under 50 over the last two decades
The study found patients with high blood-sugar levels were up to 65 percent more likely to be diagnosed with the cancer before age 50 than their peers.
Diabetics were at the highest risk, but those with prediabetes – where blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be classified as diabetes – were also at an elevated risk.
Experts who analyzed more than 500,000 people’s medical records as part of the study are now calling for ‘tighter glucose control’ to be a priority for young people. Continue reading
How Healthy Is It To Eat Bananas Every Day?
An apple a day keeps the doctor away… but what about bananas?
Whether you’re adding them to your morning cereal or grabbing one to fuel up for a workout, many people regularly incorporate them into their diets on a daily basis. But some people also avoid them. So is it safe to eat them every day? Lauren Manaker, registered dietician nutritionist, filled us in everything we need to know about eating bananas.
First, let’s get to the nutrition. One medium banana, according to the USDA, has about 105 calories, 27 carbs, 14 grams of sugar, 5 grams fiber, and 422 mg of potassium. It’s also a good source of other nutrients like vitamin C, vitamin B6, and electrolytes, including magnesium, sodium, and of course, potassium… (Continue to full article)
The Best Foods You Can Eat For A Healthy Liver
The liver is a large organ that comprises about 2% of the average adult’s body weight. Your liver is constantly working to keep you healthy by performing an array of vital functions, such as filtering harmful substances in your blood, breaking down toxins, and supporting metabolism, immune function, digestion, and more.1
Following a nutritious diet rich in foods known to support and protect the liver can help prevent common liver diseases, such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and promote optimal liver function.2
Here are 10 of the best foods for liver health, and other tips for preventing liver disease… (Continue to full article)

18 Foods to Avoid to Reduce Cancer Risk
A lot of research has been done to determine if there are links between cancer risk and certain foods. When isolated in a lab, some food components and chemicals have been shown to increase cancer risk, but these results are difficult to recreate in human populations, making the connection difficult, if not impossible, to prove.
According to the National Cancer Institute, comparing diets between people with and without cancer can show that they differ in their intake of certain things, but the results only indicate that these differences are associated with increased cancer risk, not that they are responsible for it. In other words, people with and without cancer may differ in the things they eat and drink, but they can vary in many other ways, too, which can also contribute to their condition.
Some research has determined that the following foods and chemicals may be associated with an increased cancer risk. However, it is crucial to remember that many factors can contribute to this disease and that avoiding these foods does not guarantee a lower risk of cancer… (Continue to full article)
The Plastic Chemicals Hiding in Your Food
By the time you open a container of yogurt, the food has taken a long journey to reach your spoon. You may have some idea of that journey: From cow to processing to packaging to store shelves. But at each step, there is a chance for a little something extra to sneak in, a stowaway of sorts that shouldn’t be there.
That unexpected ingredient is something called a plasticizer: a chemical used to make plastic more flexible and durable. Today, plasticizers—the most common of which are called phthalates—show up inside almost all of us, right along with other chemicals found in plastic, including bisphenols such as BPA. These have been linked to a long list of health concerns, even at very low levels
CR tested popular fast foods and supermarket staples for bisphenols and phthalates, which can be harmful to your health. Here’s what we found—and how to stay safer.. (Continue to full article)
Broccoli’s Anti-Cancer Compound Could Have a Whole Other Health Benefit
A chemical found naturally in broccoli could one day prevent and treat the blood clots that can lead to strokes – currently the second leading cause of death worldwide.
Platelets play a critical role in plugging up wounds to stop bleeding, but under specific circumstances can also form dangerous clots that block the flow of blood altogether. In life-critical tissues such as the brain and heart, every moment of lost oxygen risks irreparable damage.
A chemical commonly found in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, and broccoli sprouts stood out for its potential as an anticlotting agent. Called sulforaphane (SFN), the compound has already received attention in the past for its potential in preventing cancer and lowering cholesterol… (Continue to full article)
Billions Aren’t Eating Enough of 7 Critical Nutrients
Here’s how to get them in your diet!
Nutrients such as iron and calcium are critical for blood and bone health, respectively. But more than half the global population isn’t eating enough of these and five other nutrients also crucial for human health, according to a new study.
More than 5 billion people don’t consume enough iodine, vitamin E or calcium, found the study published August 29 in the journal The Lancet Global Health. And more than 4 billion people have insufficient intake of iron, riboflavin, folate and vitamin C… (Continue to full article)
Aspirin should not be taken by those over 60 years old to prevent a first heart attack or stroke, doctors say
A quarter of older adults are still taking a drug that could cause them to suffer from internal bleeding, a study has found.
Aspirin was once recommended for people over 60 in the US as a way to prevent a heart attack or stroke.
But in 2018, medical organizations began to dial back the advice, saying that for those who hadn’t suffered from the conditions before, any benefits were outweighed by the risks — which include bleeding in the intestines or the brain. Continue reading
If a middle-aged man starts clutching his chest, sweating profusely, and gasping for air, everyone knows he’s probably having a heart attack. It’s the “Bollywood drama” depiction of heart problems, says Dr. Basel Ramlawi, a cardiothoracic surgeon with Main Line Health in Philadelphia. “It’s the most dramatic way – but not the most common way – in which patients present.”
Heart problems can actually be quite subtle, he clarifies, and they tend to show up differently in everyone. While someone having a heart attack might, in fact, grab their chest, others – especially women and people with diabetes, who often have nerve damage that prevents them from feeling pain – won’t necessarily experience any chest discomfort at all. Other heart conditions can appear in equally varied ways. Continue reading
A new study published recently in Cell Reports Medicine reveals that bowel movement frequency significantly influences physiology and long-term health, with the best outcomes linked with passing stools once or twice a day.
Previous research has suggested associations between constipation and diarrhea with higher risks of infections and neurodegenerative conditions, respectively.
But since these findings were observed in sick patients, it remained unclear whether irregular bathroom visits were the cause or result of their conditions.
“I do hope that this work will kind of open clinicians’ minds a bit to the potential risks of not managing bowel movement frequencies,” senior author Sean Gibbons at the Institute for Systems Biology told AFP, explaining that doctors often view irregular movements as merely a “nuisance.” Continue reading
PHARMACEU’TIC, PHARMACEU’TICAL, adjective [Gr. to practice witchcraft or use medicine; poison or medicine.] Pertaining to the knowledge or art of pharmacy, or to the art of preparing medicines.
‘Granny’ is an old friend and contributing columnist to the family of web-sites of Kettle Moraine Publications. Is she a pharmacist or pharmacologist? Absolutely not – but she is now in her 80’s and has learned from a personal standpoint about the good and bad of that which is manipulated by the likes of BIG Pharma and those who they line the pockets of – our elected Congress official-DUMB and those in the Medical field who continue to buy into all of the nonsense of the sales pitch.
Will Granny be a frequent columnist and continuing contributor – maybe – maybe not – but our purpose here today – is quite simple to understand. Remember after all – It’s YOUR Health – YOUR Choice! ~ Editor

~ Welcome ~
After twenty-four years of building and supporting a web-site, which was authorized and sanctioned by Dr. William Donald Kelley, the commitment to the work of this great healer expanded and continues. In 2013, I was asked to take-on the responsibility of becoming the editor and publisher of Dr. Kelley’s Self Test for the Different Metabolic Types. With the July 2013 release we expanded the original writings of Kelley by including a 30-page pamphlet, written by Dr. Kelley – ‘Metabolic Typing‘ – which had previously only been published as a separate mail-out.
One thing led to another, and the re-editing of Dr. Kelley’s treatise on dealing with Cancer was also placed into my hands. When I first met Kelley, the book was entitled, ‘One Answer to Cancer (with Cancer Cure)’ – a title which had been generally in use by Kelley since its earliest 30-page printing in 1967.
