Treating Radiation Exposure with Classical Homeopathy

warning_radiation_riskNow that Fukushima has been spreading its noxious radiation across much of the Pacific, increasing radiation exposure, among others, in the western coastal areas of the American continent, an alternative method of treating such exposure with classical homeopathy can be useful.

Another source of radiation exposure is radiation therapy for cancer. You can take the classical homeopathic remedies irrespective of any other medicines you may be taking, as there will be no interference or cross-effects. This is because classical homeopathic remedies contain no chemicals, no drugs—only information in pills made of lactose, i.e., milk sugar.

Some further sources of radiation exposure are X-rays for dental treatment, mammograms, CT scans and fluoroscopy (the use of X-rays to obtain moving images of your body). Continue reading

Vitamin B3 can reduce skin cancer risk by 23%

Researchers in Australia have found that taking vitamin B3 daily can prevent skin cancers. People with a history of skin cancers who took the vitamin B3 in the study had a 23 percent lower rate of getting new skin cancers, the research showed. The research used 500 mg of vitamin B3 twice a day for one year. Scientists think that the “preventive effect” begins as soon as three months after taking the vitamins. Vitamin B3 can be found in supplement form as well as in many food sources. Continue reading

Why IS cancer more common in certain parts of the body?

Cells in lungs and bone are ‘more likely to be attacked by the disease’

Scientists have discovered that when cells are 'squeezed' inside stiff, rigid body tissues, such as the lungs, it is more vulnerable to the genetic mutations that can trigger cancer

Scientists have discovered that when cells are ‘squeezed’ inside stiff, rigid body tissues, such as the lungs, it is more vulnerable to the genetic mutations that can trigger cancer

There are dozens of different forms of cancer, some far more deadly than others.

The disease can invade any part of the body, and appears when cells grow out of control and crowd out healthy ‘normal’ cells.

But, cancer is not just one disease. It takes many forms, starting in the lungs, the breast, colon, even the blood. Some forms of the disease grow and spread quickly, making them more deadly. Continue reading

US Government Finally Admits They’ve Overdosed Americans on Fluoride

… and for the first time since 1962, is lowering their recommended level of fluoride in drinking water.

Mild-FluorosisThe CDC reports that around 40% percent of Americans have dental fluorosis, a condition referring to changes in the appearance of tooth enamel — from chalky-looking lines and splotches to dark staining and pitting — caused by long-term ingestion of fluoride during the time teeth are forming.

Green Tea May Cut Heart Disease Risk

Drink is high in antioxidants which helps regulate blood pressure and body fat

Women who drank five or more cups daily had a 17 per cent lower risk of dying early if they drank

Women who drank five or more cups daily had a 17 per cent lower risk of dying early if they drank

Just one cup of green tea a day could lower the risk of heart disease and premature death, according to Japanese researchers.

Their study of more than 90,000 people aged 40 to 69 over four years found that the more green tea they drank, the less likely they were to die from heart disease, stroke and respiratory disease.

Women who drank just one cup a day had a 10 per cent lower risk of dying early, but this rose to 17 per cent if they drank five or more cups daily. A similar trend was seen in men, reports Annals of Epidemiology.

One theory is that green tea is high in antioxidants called polyphenols, including EGCG, which helps regulate blood pressure and body fat. Continue reading

New test ‘accurately’ spots the most deadly forms of breast cancer BEFORE they spread

Scientists at the Institute of Cancer Research have developed a test that they claim accurately spots the most aggressive tumours before they spread

Scientists at the Institute of Cancer Research have developed a test that they claim accurately spots the most aggressive tumours before they spread

A new test for breast cancer can accurately spot the most aggressive tumours before they spread.

Scientists have created a technique that identifies which cancers are most likely to grow aggressively, enabling them to take action to stop the spread.

According to initial trials of the test, developed by the Institute of Cancer Research in London, doctors were able to spot women at the highest risk of dying from their disease.

The test could now be used to tailor treatment for women at the highest risk.

Scientists modified methods initially developed by wildlife experts to identify ecological diversity in the natural world.

They adapted the ecologists’ computer algorithm to use it on tumour samples.

Tumours with a greater diversity of types of cell tend to be the most aggressive, and most likely to eventually become fatal.

The cancer team found that they could use the naturalists’ approach to give each tumour a ‘diversity score’ – which they showed was an accurate predictor of how dangerous it would become. Continue reading

Amazing Herb Kills 98% Of Cancer Cells In Just 16 Hours

The Parade of Books Warning of the Evils of Modern Medicine are Gathering Dust

health_logo_05More than two-thousand years ago Hippocrates was the first physician to issue a word of caution about the over-use of medicines. Hippocrates invoked an oath to “first do no harm” before doctors reach for the latest nostrum.

In 1976 Austrian philosopher and Catholic priest Ivan Illich, in his book Medical Nemesis, launched what was then considered “the gravest health hazard we face today: our medical system.”

Illich was unforgiving. The first sentence in his text reads: “The medical establishment has become a major threat to health.”

His second sentence: “The disabling impact of professional control over medicine has reached the proportions of an epidemic.” Readers needn’t have read another sentence but to obtain the details.
