Vitamin E Could Reduce Muscle Inflammation, Study FindsBy Sherry Baker, December 10 2008
(NewsTarget) It's no wonder muscle aches and pains can be not only uncomfortable but also result in significant impairment.

But University of Illinois research has demonstrated that the antioxidant properties of Vitamin E may be able to put a damper on the cause of ongoing inflammation.
Here's how: Cytokines are regulatory proteins that are released by cells of the...

Knowledge for a Revolution: Unity Vs. DivisivenessBy Dr. Gregory Damato, Ph.D., December 10 2008
(NewsTarget) One of the most efficient ways to rule a populace has been through the surreptitious and unconscious creation of dissension amongst its people. Modern society has been inherently established and subsequently reinforced to create an us versus them mentality which continually focuses on individual differences at the expense of individual similarities. Historically, dividing a population has been a very potent and successful psychological weapon as many nations subsequently use this tactic...
Studies Provide New Hope for Alzheimer's PatientsBy Sherry Baker, December 9 2008
(NewsTarget) There's often little hope to be found about the mind-robbing disease known as Alzheimer's and other dementias linked to aging. But two new studies raise the possibility that there are ways to delay, lessen or even successfully treat dementia – including using non-drug approaches based on ancient meditation techniques and exercises.
Alzheimer's disease causes nerve cells in the brain to die, resulting in a loss of memory and difficulties with speech and understanding. Now British researchers...
Overweight Prostate Cancer Sufferers More Likely to Die of the DiseaseBy Reuben Chow, December 9 2008
(NewsTarget) A study published in November's The Lancet Oncology has revealed that overweight and obese men who were later diagnosed with prostate cancer are a lot more likely to die from the disease as compared to men with healthy weight. In addition, it also found that men with higher blood concentrations of C-peptide, which is a protein reflective of the amount of insulin secretion, who later get prostate cancer are also more likely to die from the disease as compared to men with lower levels...
 Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Chronic Fatigue and FibromyalgiaBy Sheryl Walters, December 9 2008
(NewsTarget) Research has shown that Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) may improve life quality and symptom management for people with Chronic Fatigue (CFS) and Fibromyalgia (FM). Whilst it is not a cure for pain and fatigue, it can be tremendously beneficial in helping people deal with and manage their illness.
What Is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy?
Cognitive-behavioral therapy is a way of helping people change the way they think. It helps you to recognize and dispel negative beliefs and fears...
 The Procyanidins of Red Wine and Their Anti-Aging EffectBy Jo Hartley, December 9 2008
(NewsTarget) Moderate red wine drinkers have less incidence of heart disease than non-drinkers and now scientists are confirming a direct correlation between red wine and many powerful anti-aging benefits. Moderate consumption of some red wines may be a very effective way of improving your cardiovascular health as well as your lifespan. However, it is important to choose the correct red wine.
Unfortunately, only traditional production methods have been determined to produce the high concentration...
Wine Boosts Omega-3s for Healthier Heart, Study FindsBy Sherry Baker, December 9 2008
(NewsTarget) Omega-3 fatty acids, mainly derived from cold water fish like salmon, are known to help prevent coronary heart disease and sudden cardiac death. Now European researchers have found that moderate wine drinking acts like a booster for omega-3s -- it raises the levels of the beneficial fatty acids in plasma and red blood cells. This major finding of the European study IMMIDIET will be published in the January issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, an official publication of...
Low Thyroid Hormone Increases Risk of Death from Heart Attack by Seventy PercentBy Barbara L. Minton, December 9 2008
(NewsTarget) By taking natural thyroid hormone tablets to reduce the level of thyroid stimulating hormone to the low end of the normal range, men and women can reduce death from cardiovascular disease by 70 percent. This earthshaking finding far exceeds results from any drug intervention. The 70 percent is not a statistical manipulation based on relative numbers. It represents an absolute decrease in death.
It has become more apparent that hormonal health and balance is the bedrock of good health...
Four Studies: Increased Cancer Risk in Immunity-Suppressed Organ Transplant RecipientsBy Reuben Chow, December 9 2008
(NewsTarget) Organ transplants give many people a new shot at life, a second chance which they might not have had if not for this medical procedure. Life, though, is never quite the same again, and organ recipients have to take immunosuppressant drugs to keep their bodies from rejecting their new organs. By having their immune systems suppressed, however, organ recipients become more susceptible to various health conditions, including infections. Unfortunately, they are also a lot more vulnerable...
Ear Candling is Effective and Safe for Cleaning the Ear CanalBy Jo Hartley, December 9 2008
(NewsTarget) It is thought that the Egyptians were the first to invent the technique of ear candling, not only for physically cleaning out the ears but for spiritual cleansing as well. They believed that ear candling opened and cleared the spirit centers and refreshed their auras. More recently, ear candling has been becoming more popular in the holistic community as a safe and effective way to remove wax build-up from the ear canal. Over time as we age, heavy impacted wax collects in the ear that...
Chemical Used on Crops could Make You FatBy Sherry Baker, December 8 2008
(NewsTarget) Many people who eat organic food and use natural products are trying to avoid pesticides that are linked to cancer and other diseases. Now Japanese researchers say there is another advantage to "going green" and avoiding toxins and chemical additives in the environment. A common pollutant has been found to have a potent effect on gene activity and could be contributing to the obesity epidemic.
According to an article published in the December issue of the journal Bioscience, the chemical...

(NewsTarget) A study on almost 24,000 Japanese women recently published in the British Journal of Cancer has found that lack of sleep can greatly increase the risk of breast cancer, with women who slept 6 hours or less every night having a significantly higher risk.
Breast Cancer Statistics

Knowledge for a Revolution: From Fear to TruthBy Dr. Gregory Damato, Ph.D., December 7 2008
(NewsTarget) The western world has purposely been misled, intimidated and hypnotized by fear from nearly all established institutions of civilization. The best way to wire an individual's brain for fear is to consistently state the exact same premise over and over again, regardless of the veracity of such statements. As neuroscientists predict, individuals will unconsciously begin to believe such statements and the more often these ideas are reinforced, the stronger the hard wiring becomes.
We...
Greater Leniency in Assisted Suicide may Soon be Coming to AmericaBy Barbara L. Minton, December 7 2008
(NewsTarget) Washington state is busy responding to the call of the voters and crafting a law allowing doctors to prescribe lethal medication to terminally ill patients. Washington is the second state in the nation to adopt such a law which is patterned after Oregon's "Death with Dignity" law allowing a terminally ill person to be prescribed lethal medication which would be self-administered. Approval of the initiative received a resounding 58 percent of the vote. The possibility that other states...

Milk Thistle for Liver RepairBy Jo Hartley, December 5 2008
(NewsTarget) There may be disagreement from gardeners and landscapers about the positive aspects of milk thistle, but as far as its herbal benefits, milk thistle is a very beneficial plant. When mature, it can be several feet tall and it boasts a pretty purplish full bloom on top. It is best admired carefully, however, because its stem and leaves have sharp thorns. You will discover that navigating these thorns is worth it when you learn all of the benefits that can be derived from this powerful...
Watermelon Juice: A Thirst Quenching Super Food JuiceBy Sheryl Walters, December 5 2008
(NewsTarget) Watermelon is a deliciously thirst quenching, healing super food. Juicing watermelon is especially nutritious because you can juice the entire melon…fruit, rind and seeds, all of which offer incredible benefits. In fact, studies show that the most nutrient dense part of the melon is the rind, and the seeds contain beneficial fat. When only the red part it eaten, we throw away the goodness that makes this such a spectacular food. The whole fruit is also far lower in sugar than the red...
Repeal of the Uptick Rule: A Planned Program to Obliterate the Stock MarketBy Barbara L. Minton, December 5 2008
(NewsTarget) Those wanting to see the future need look no further than the latest legislation, rules and decisions put into force by the people with the power. For example, there's the 2005 Supreme Court eminent domain decision that allowed for private property to be seized by developers solely for the purpose of increasing municipal revenues. This decision, made at the height of the development boom, paved the way for a massive land grab that is taking ownership of huge tracts of land from the many...
Two Good Reasons to Reconsider Scans, such as CT and MRIBy Reuben Chow, December 5 2008
(NewsTarget) When was the last time you had a CT scan or an MRI scan, and how often do you have them? Do you even know what the letters "CT" and "MRI" stand for? A recent study conducted by a team from the University of California-San Francisco has found that the use of such medical imaging tools is playing its part in rising health care costs, while at the same time subjecting patients to increasing levels of radiation exposure.
One fact we cannot deny is, the development of these technologies...
Latest GMO Research: Decreased Fertility, Immunological Alterations and AllergiesBy Dr. Gregory Damato, Ph.D., December 4 2008
(NewsTarget) Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are created through an inexact science of shooting genes spliced from bacteria, viruses, insects, animals or humans with a .22 caliber pistol into the DNA of plants or animals laced with a metal such as tungsten. This unsafe science ostensibly supplants millions of years of evolution with little or no scientific justification. In fact, recent research on GMO crops have reported yields to be between 4 to 20 percent less than conventional crops [1...
