An outspoken doctor calls the pharmaceutical industry a national fraud that promotes disease and prevents prevention

By Mike Adams, August 19 2004
As pharmaceutical companies continue their march toward profitability and domination over our "modern" health care system, more and more doctors are speaking out against them. One of the most interesting and outspoken doctors is Dr. Rath. Dr. Rath, who is based outside the United States, has started the Dr. Rath Foundation, and has made it his mission to fight the ongoing dominance and influence of the pharmaceutical industry. He points out some very important and educational facts about Big Pharma...

New study shows that 94% of marketing claims made by pharmaceutical companies have no basis in fact

By Mike Adams, August 19 2004
Think that health claims made on the advertising material of pharmaceuticals is based on scientific evidence? Think again. A new study carried out by the Institute for Evidence-Based Medicine in Germany has found that 94% of the information contained in promotional literature sent to doctors by pharmaceutical companies has absolutely no basis in scientific fact. Virtually all of the information in the promotional brochures has been distorted or exaggerated, the study revealed. For example, as...

U.S. pharmaceutical companies and the FDA responsible for 100 times as many Americans deaths as terrorists

By Mike Adams, August 19 2004
The FDA is getting desperate in the war to monopolize the U.S. pharmaceutical industry and prevent citizens from purchasing prescription drugs at lower prices from Canada and elsewhere. They've now invoked the "terrorism" label in the fight to suppress consumer free choice. Unbelievably, FDA commissioner Lester Crawford is now saying that prescription drugs from Canada are a threat to U.S. consumers because terrorists might be attacking us through those prescription drugs. This idea is so ridiculous...

U.S. pharmacies make tragic medication mistakes that injure or kill U.S. consumers; but FDA keeps warning us about Canada

By Mike Adams, August 19 2004
Walgreen's has been ordered to pay $21 million to the family of a girl who was mistakenly given the wrong prescription drug at a Walgreen's pharmacy. The girl cannot walk or feed herself and was born prematurely. Not surprisingly, the girl is on several medications, and when one prescription was filled with the wrong drug, the girl ended up in the emergency room and, her family claims, suffered physical and mental disabilities as a result. I mention this story not to necessarily focus on Walgreen's...

Antidepressant drugs found to cause birth complications

By Mike Adams, August 19 2004
A new warning is being issued about pregnant women taking antidepressant drugs. It turns out that taking such drugs during late pregnancy puts the health of their babies at risk and leads to birth complications that may require prolonged hospitalization, breathing support, and tube feeding. This warning applies to all SSRI drugs, or what's called Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors, which include drugs like Prozac and other popular antidepressants. The warning comes from Health Canada, and is...

Antidepressant drugs found in drinking water; pharmaceuticals have now become environmental pollutants

By Mike Adams, August 19 2004
Pharmaceuticals are now being found in drinking water, according to a study conducted in England. The study looked at 12 pharmaceuticals thought to pose an environmental threat, including painkillers, antibiotics, and antidepressants, and it found traces of these pharmaceuticals in both sewage waters and drinking water. It also found traces in the rivers downstream from the sewage treatment plants. This is shocking information -- apparently we are dosing ourselves with such high levels of pharmaceuticals...

Scientific medical journals like JAMA fail basic credibility standards; medical journals become increasingly irrelevant

By Mike Adams, August 19 2004
The Journal of the American Medical Association -- JAMA -- and other scientific medical journals have been caught red-handed by the Center for Science in the Public Interest for failing to disclose the financial relationships between study authors and companies that might benefit from such studies. For example, one author of a study published in JAMA that conducted research on kidney disease did not disclose that he is a consultant paid by Merck, Bristol-Meyers, Squibb, GlaxoSmithKline, and Pfizer...

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, ADHD, has a simple cause: poor nutrition and food additives

By Mike Adams, August 19 2004
New research is appearing now that's showing the link between the consumption of food additives by children -- especially food colorings -- and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD. Well-informed parents have long realized that the consumption of food additives causes hyperactivity in their children, but most conventional doctors have dismissed the idea as pure bunk. Of course, far too many doctors dismiss the idea that food choice has any relationship to health in the first place, so...

Drug companies engage in massive health care fraud, but are never held accountable

By Mike Adams, August 19 2004
U.S. pharmaceutical companies are finding clever ways to avoid the consequences of a 1996 law that mandates their exclusion from federal health care programs such as Medicare and Medicaid if they are convicted of felony health care fraud. According to news reports, since 2001 at least four major drug companies have been convicted of felony health care fraud but have been able to avoid the penalty of being banned from government health programs by constructing creative settlements with prosecutors...

Criminal-minded pharmaceutical industry in the United States intercepts legal prescription drugs being imported from Canada

By Mike Adams, August 19 2004
The war on drugs has taken a quantum leap to a fascinating new level with the seizure of $250,000 worth of legal prescription drugs entering the country from a Canadian mail-order pharmacy company called CanadaRx. U.S. customs officials alerted the FDA about this shipment and the FDA was called in to investigate. Of course, since no laws were broken, there were no criminal charges filed. Nobody was arrested, but $250,000 worth of drugs intended for elderly citizens of Minnesota were confiscated and...

New research shows cancer caused by carbohydrates, sugars, white flour, and corn syrup

By Mike Adams, August 8 2004
A new study published in the journal Cancer Epidemiology, Mile Markers, and Prevention is presenting evidence of the link between the consumption of refined carbohydrates and cancer. This case-controlled study looked at the dietary habits of over 1,800 women in Mexico, and found that those who got 57% or more of their total energy intake from carbohydrates showed a 220% higher risk of breast cancer than women with more balanced diets. This study shows that foods with high glycemic index values...

Vaccines found to contain mercury; are vaccinations safe?

By Mike Adams, August 8 2004
The headlines around the world are ablaze with the news that a whooping cough vaccine given to babies has been found to contain potentially dangerous levels of mercury. The vaccine is being withdrawn, and parents are now having to wait for a new vaccine that will be available in several months. The warning was issued by U.S. researchers, who suggested that mercury in vaccines could be linked to the develop of autism in children. The real story in all of this, however, is that mercury is frequently...

Pharmaceutical companies and the FDA continue to suppress negative information about antidepressant drugs and violent behavior

By Mike Adams, August 8 2004
As evidence continues to emerge about the correlation between antidepressant drugs and violent behavior, including suicides, new facts are emerging about how the FDA has attempted to cover up this information and prevent the public from learning about it. There's new scrutiny these days as we are learning that the FDA attempted to block an employee from revealing his findings of the correlation between antidepressants and suicidal tendencies. That occurred in February of 2004. Even beyond that, the...

Teflon linked to birth defects and illness; but is it safe to use in cooking?

By Mike Adams, August 8 2004
Dupont is facing new charges from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency that it concealed research showing that pregnant workers were passing on Teflon chemicals to their unborn children. The EPA has also accused Dupont of failing to report evidence that the chemicals used to manufacture Teflon had contaminated water supplies affecting 12,000 people in the local area. Many of those affected families are suing Dupont. One individual was born with only one nostril and various facial defects and...

Do net carbs on low carb food labels tell the truth about carbohydrates?

By Mike Adams, August 8 2004
Much of the labeling about so-called net carbs in various low carb foods is designed, of course, to sell more products. But is it scientifically accurate? Does it give the right information to consumers who are looking to avoid processed carbohydrates? Many of these foods, like protein bars and sweets, claim "1 gram of net carbs," and yet they taste surprisingly sweet. How do they accomplish that without using carbohydrates? The answer is that they are using carbohydrates -- they're just not...

Fluoride conference reveals fraudulent science behind mass fluoridation; fluoride policy is a public fraud

By Mike Adams, August 8 2004
The First Citizens' Conference on Fluoride was recently held in Canton, New York, and it revealed some astonishing new research about the dangers of fluoride and why the current political position on fluoridation of public water supplies is based on fraudulent science. The fluoridation of public water is something that has been highly debated for decades -- and yet the practice continues today, despite the growing body of evidence showing that fluoridation causes untold human suffering and disease...

Newborn nutritional disaster: only 14% of U.S. mothers breastfeed their babies for 6 months

By Mike Adams, August 8 2004
New research data released by the United States government reveals that only 14% of mothers in the United States rely on breastfeeding to feed their babies for the first six months of their lives. This is a shockingly low number, given the medical truth that breastfeeding is the number one way to give a baby good nutrition. Many mothers are turning to infant formulas or juice to feed their babies, which inevitably results in nutritional deficiencies, impaired immune system function, and can even...

Skyrocketing health care costs make U.S. employers non-competitive in the global marketplace

By Mike Adams, August 8 2004
Skyrocketing health insurance costs are heavily impacting employers in the United States. Now, for the first time, medical benefits to employees has become the most expensive benefit paid by employers, according to a new report issued by the Employment Policy Foundation. The cost of health care for employers has jumped 12.4% between 2002 and 2003. That's about 5 times higher than inflation, and it is threatening the competitiveness of American corporations and the private sector. The Foundation also...

Breast cancer blamed on vitamin D receptor gene; but it's actually caused by a simple nutritional deficiency

By Mike Adams, August 8 2004
Recent headlines have talked about the correlation between vitamin D deficiency and breast cancer, but many of the articles have highlighted a genetic variance that, when present, nearly doubles the risk of breast cancer. This gene is called the vitamin D receptor gene (VDR), and was found to significantly increase the risk of breast cancer among women, as well as result in a more aggressive form of breast cancer for those women who were diagnosed with the disease. There are really two stories...

Surgical robots promise to make surgery less painful; and yet are still medically unnecessary most of the time

By Mike Adams, August 7 2004
Surgeons in Australia are excited over new surgical robots they are using to perform surgical operations on patients. These new robots allow surgeons to perform operations with improved precision in a way that reduces post-operative complications and actually requires less staff during the surgical procedure. Here's how it works: with the help of the surgical robot, surgeons remote control two robotic arms that are inserted into the patient through small incisions. A high-resolution 3-D telescope...

UC Berkeley Wellness Letter authors remain nutritionally illiterate about chlorella, spirulina, and blue-green algae

By Mike Adams, August 7 2004
On this website we discuss the ignorance of western medical doctors and medical institutions with such frequency that it hardly seems unusual to find another case of health ignorance worth mentioning, but every once in a while, another article or news item is released by a so-called "credible" institution that is so outlandish, that is so steeped in ignorance of health, nutrition, and the human body, and that is so obviously propaganda designed to attack the nutritional supplements industry, that...

Wheelchair-bound fitness icon proves that anyone can be healthy through exercise and nutrition

By Mike Adams, August 7 2004
Kevin Saunders is riding a wheelchair across the country to serve as an example that people can attain physical fitness no matter what obstacles may stand in the way. He was paralyzed from the chest down due to a work injury. He later pursued physical fitness and became a para-olympian, winning bronze metals in the pentathlon. Kevin was inspired to pursue his cross-country wheelchair ride by hoping to serve as an example and get the message out to people that if they exercise, eat right, and get...

If Drugs From Canada Are So Dangerous, Where Are All the Dead Canadians?

By Mike Adams, August 7 2004
Amid all of the frantic warnings from the FDA that prescription drugs from Canada are somehow dangerous, a question arises: where are all the dead and injured Canadians? If drugs are somehow more dangerous in Canada, shouldn't the FDA be able to produce endless examples of people who have actually been harmed or killed by these medications? In fact, no such evidence exists. The FDA's Director of Pharmacy Affairs, Tom McGinnis, says, "I can't think of one thing off the top of my head where somebody...

The food industry denies links between foods, nutrition and health; bad science meets aggressive marketing

By Mike Adams, August 7 2004
New research published in the British Medical Journal is revealing a game plan that can be used to fight the health-destroying efforts of the food industry. Lessons learned from the fight with Big Tobacco can be applied to fighting the food industry. These results indicate there's a great deal of similarity between the food companies that market unhealthful foods and Big Tobacco. Both industries rely in misinformation, burying negative data, and confusing the public with conflicting evidence....

Popular Alzheimer's Drug Found to Be All But Worthless in Independent Study

By Mike Adams, August 7 2004
A new independent study, conducted at the University of Birmingham, UK, reveals that a popular prescription drug for Alzheimer's disease, Aricept, offers no real benefit to Alzheimer's patients compared to placebo. And yet, the drug has been approved and heavily marketed based on findings from drug trials funded by its maker who claims the drug benefits Alzheimer's patients in scientifically proven ways. As it turns out, the drug does seem to help Alzheimer's patients score slightly higher on cognitive...

A Public Drug Registry Would Bring Honesty to Pharmaceutical Research, But the Idea Terrifies Drug Companies

By Mike Adams, August 7 2004
A new idea has surfaced in the medical community -- to publish the results of all medical studies on a publicly accessible website that would include results from both positive and negative studies. This proposal has been floated in response to the recent discovery by regulatory authorities and various members of the press that drug companies routinely hide or suppress the publication of studies showing undesirable results. For example, we are now learning that the use of anti-depressant drugs...

Can Vitamins and Soy Prevent Cancer?

By Mike Adams, August 7 2004
Tens of millions of Americans are now working to prevent cancer by taking supplements and adding functional foods to their diets. $18 billion were spent last year on dietary supplements aimed at preventing cancer, and baby boomers are buying vitamins, minerals, and medicinal herbs in record numbers in order to prevent chronic diseases like cancer, heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, and Alzheimer's disease. As usual, the cancer industry is positioned strongly against any claims that nutrition...

President's Bogus Mental Health Screening Initiative Is a Thinly Veiled Scam to Boost Pharmaceutical Profits

By Mike Adams, August 7 2004
The latest act of state-sponsored medical insanity has been announced by the Bush administration with their so-called New Freedom Commission on Mental Health that plans to conduct mental-health screening on all children and adults in the United States. As people are screened under this plan, they will of course be put on highly-profitable and extremely expensive psychotic drugs and anti-depressant drugs, which are manufactured by the very same companies that have donated heavily to the Bush administration...

Hardening of the Arteries Shown to be Significantly Slowed by Diet and Exercise

By Mike Adams, August 7 2004
A new study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology reveals that lifestyle changes -- dietary changes and the pursuit of physical exercise -- have a powerful impact on preventing hardening of the arteries in women. The study was designed to look at how much this hardening of the arteries could be slowed in women going through menopause. Normally, post-menopausal women show great increases in atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries, but the study showed that those who...

Weight Loss Centers Are Popular, But Do They Really Work?

By Mike Adams, August 6 2004
There's a tremendous amount of money to be made in helping people lose weight and fight obesity. Accordingly, all sorts of franchises are expanding across America and attempting to help people lose weight by pursuing a variety of strategies, including calorie control, hypnosis, weight loss supplements, and physical fitness. One of the most popular franchises is, of course, Weight Watchers, which now holds 44,000 meetings a week in 30 countries. Americans are spending $40 billion a year on weight...

As the FDA Banned Ephedra, Over-The-Counter Sudafed Fueled Widespread Harm By Providing Raw Materials for Illegal Methamphetamine Labs

By Mike Adams, August 6 2004
The proliferation of methamphetamine labs, also known as "meth labs," is a growing problem in the United States. Not only do these meth labs produce illegal drugs that harm those who choose to take them, these labs also occasionally explode, killing their inhabitants. But one of the most common ingredients used to make methamphetamines is a chemical compound known as pseudoephedrine. This pseudoephedrine is known by the popular brand name Sudafed, which is, of course, an over-the-counter medicine...

The Palm Springs Diet Promises to Help You Lose Weight, But Does It Really Work?

By Mike Adams, August 6 2004
Following the popularity of the Hamptons Diet and the South Beach Diet, a new diet product is emerging on the market called the Palm Springs Diet. This isn't a book, but rather a product that promises to help people lose weight by taking nutritional supplements. But does the Palm Springs Diet really work? Are the ingredients in the supplement known to promote fat loss? Let's take a closer look and find out. The three primary ingredients in the Palm Springs Diet are chitosan, capsaicin, and gingko...

Medical Breakthrough Uses Chitosan From Shrimp to Create Bandages That Stop Bleeding in 30 Seconds

By Mike Adams, August 6 2004
In yet another fascinating example of the wisdom of nature, entrepreneurs are now manufacturing and selling vastly superior wound bandages made from chitosan, a substance found in the shells of shrimp, crabs, and other crustaceans. Chitosan, of course, is very popular as a fat-absorbing nutritional supplement. The chitosan fiber absorbs fat molecules, allowing them to pass through your digestive tract without being digested. As a result, chitosan supplements are extremely popular as weight-loss supplements...

Highly toxic, disease-promoting ingredients remain perfectly legal in the American food supply

By Mike Adams, August 6 2004
Contaminated children's treats are showing up in candy stores in the southern part of the United States, and unfortunately, these Mexican candies contain lead, an ingredient that has been associated with a number of health problems in children. Lead paint was banned decades ago, and lead is not allowed to be used in foods manufactured in the United States. However, these candies from Mexico are perfectly legal to have on the shelves, even though they contain high levels of lead, because the lead...

The top ten things you'd be able to do if you didn't live under a system of health oppression masquerading as modern medicine

By Mike Adams, August 17 2004
Many U.S. citizens mistakenly believe they live in a free society. But when it comes to health, medicine and nutritional supplements, the system under which we live today is more like the Dark Ages than a system of freedom. Want proof? Just ask yourself, "What kinds of health choices should I be able to make if I lived in a free society?" In a free society, you would be able to do these ten things: 1. Buy prescription drugs on the free market, from any country you wanted, without being labeled...

Governor of Wisconsin Posts Website That Encourages Citizens to Buy Prescription Drugs From Canada

By Mike Adams, August 6 2004
Neither the FDA nor the pharmaceutical industry in the United States can stand the fact that the governor of the state of Wisconsin has put a prescription drug resource center online that encourages citizens to buy their prescription drugs from Canada at a more affordable price. This is driving the FDA crazy, because it's threatening the pharmaceutical industry monopoly that both the FDA and the drug companies wish to maintain. But the governor of Wisconsin is more interested in helping the citizens...

A High-Carbohydrate Diet With Added Sugars Doubles Your Risk of Breast Cancer, Says New Research

By Mike Adams, August 6 2004
A new study carried out by researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health reveals a strong correlation between the consumption of refined carbohydrates -- especially refined white sugar -- and increased risk of breast cancer. This is apparently a major "eureka" for these scientists, who are just now beginning to suspect that there are in fact links between diet and cancer. Of course, this is old news to nutritionists and naturopathic physicians, who have long been urging patients to avoid...

Shocking New Evidence Shows Mad Cow Disease Prions Can Be Harbored In Humans For Decades Without Symptoms

By Mike Adams, August 6 2004
Health experts in the UK are facing a potentially alarming situation regarding the human form of mad cow disease, otherwise known as vCJD. It turns out that there may be potentially tens of thousands of UK citizens who are infected with vCJD from consuming mad cow disease infected red meat in the 1980's and 1990's. And yet these people show no symptoms of vCJD even though they are harboring the prions associated with this disease. What's happening is that some of these people are donating blood...

Hospital Superbugs Prove Deadly; Over-Prescription of Antibiotics Contributes to the Problem

By Mike Adams, August 6 2004
One hundred people have died from superbug infections in just one hospital in Quebec over the last 18 months, says a hospital infectious disease expert. Fifty-four people died in the hospital last year, and so far this year the death toll has already reached 46. It is yet another example of how dangerous hospitals can be. It also shows the risk associated with superbug infections. But what causes these superbugs to be so infectious and so deadly when patients are exposed to them in the first place...

Heart Failure Drug Found To Have Killed Thousands, Injured Tens of Thousands; Yet Doctors and the FDA Continue To Support It

By Mike Adams, August 6 2004
A new study conducted by the Institute of Clinical Evaluative Sciences, a health care research organization in Toronto, has concluded that a prescription drug commonly prescribed for congestive heart failure is now responsible for an increased number of deaths of heart patients due to the drug being more widely prescribed by doctors. The drug, called spironolactone, first looked promising five years ago when studies showed that it decreased the death rate by 30% in people with serious heart failure...

Viagra Now Being Increasingly Used as a Recreational Drug By Younger Men: Is Pfizer Responsible?

By Mike Adams, August 6 2004
A new study is showing that recreational use of Viagra is growing rapidly in men under 45 years of age. From 1998 to 2002, the use of Viagra in men under forty-five tripled, says the study, which looked at 5 million insured American males. What this study indicates is that Viagra is being used as a recreational drug, not as a drug to treat a medical condition. Thus, it belongs more in the category of pot, crack, heroin, or meth rather than being a medicinal pharmaceutical. But let's look at the...

Pharmaceutical Maker Bristol-Meyers Squibb Pays $150 Million Settlement to SEC to Settle Charges of Accounting Fraud

By Mike Adams, August 6 2004
In yet more news about the criminal activity of pharmaceutical companies, Bristol-Meyers Squibb has agreed to pay $150 million to settle charges levied by the SEC, the Securities and Exchange Commission. Bristol-Meyers has agreed to pay a $100 million civil fine and $50 million in other fines in response to accounting violations levied by the SEC. The SEC says that the company conducted the cover-up by selling massive quantities of drugs to wholesalers and then improperly booking the revenue from...

Western Medicine's Domination By Egoistic, Narrow-Minded Male Physicians Now Being Overturned by an Increase in Female Doctors

By Mike Adams, August 6 2004
In what can only be considered bizarre news from the world of medicine, Professor Carol Black, the new female president of the Royal College of Physicians, and only the second woman to hold that post in 500 years, has announced her concern that there are too many women in medicine, and as a result, medicine is losing its influence which has been propped up by domineering males with enormous egos. As it's described in the article quoted here, "Medicine has a reputation as a chauvinistic profession...

Follow American Heart Association Advice and Die From Heart Disease

By Mike Adams, August 6 2004
Newspaper headlines around the world are ablaze with the news that the American Heart Association is recommending people stop taking vitamins for heart health. I know I've covered this in another article on this site, but this news from the AHA is receiving so much attention that it deserves a bit more commentary. The first thing you have to do to understand this news is put the AHA in perspective. This is an organization that has for decades discredited and fought against the use of vitamins...

More Employees Unable To Receive Health Insurance Coverage Through Their Employers; Prevention, Not Disease Treatment, Is The Answer

By Mike Adams, August 6 2004
A new study from the Washington, D.C. based Center for Studying Health System Change has revealed that 9 million Americans no longer have health insurance coverage through their employers compared to those who received coverage in 2001. In other words, employers' ability to provide health insurance coverage for their employees is in a rapid decline, leaving employees either without health insurance or needing to look elsewhere. It's a growing trend, and this is going to get a lot worse before it...

New Antidepressant Drug Approved, But It's All About Profits, Not Helping Patients

By Mike Adams, August 6 2004
The FDA has now approved Eli Lilly's new drug, Cymbalta, for treatment of depression. The new drug is expected to generate peak annual sales of about $2 billion, and is being described as a "much-needed boon for Eli Lilly after the sales of its former top-selling antidepressant Prozac fell due to generic competition." Let's take a closer look at the dynamics here. The big news being focused on in the mainstream media isn't that there is some new drug that can help people with depression -- the big...

Schoolchildren Are Increasingly Dosed With Both Ritalin and Anti-Psychotic Drugs, Says New Research

By Mike Adams, August 6 2004
Researchers from the Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt have found that anti-psychotic medications are being prescribed at an alarming rate for Tennessee children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, or ADHD. The use of anti-psychotic drugs has more than doubled since 1996, and today children are not only being dosed with Ritalin -- a powerful narcotic drug -- but now anti-psychotic drugs to mask other symptoms related to behavioral disorders. Every time I write about this subject, I...

Obesity Researchers Lose Sight of the Big Picture While Peering Into Their Microscopes; Modern Science Loses Perspective

By Mike Adams, August 6 2004
New research conducted at Brown Medical School is exploring the biochemical precursors to obesity. The research is finding that metabolism is regulated by peptides in the hypothalamus, which is a part of the brain that controls appetite. Two enzymes known as PC1 and PC2 have been found to be necessary for stimulation of the pituitary glad and the thyroid that ultimately result in the feeling of satiation and inhibition of food intake. Thus, PC1 and PC2 are critical enzymes in the chain of chemical...

Isolated Soy Protein Shown To Benefit Patients With Type 2 Diabetes; Enhances HDL Cholesterol Levels

By Mike Adams, August 6 2004
Fascinating new research published in the Journal of Nutrition is showing that isolated soy protein demonstrates remarkable health benefits for people suffering from type 2 diabetes. In this research, male military veterans who were undergoing treatment for the advanced stages of type 2 diabetes were able to significantly lower unwanted proteins in their urine while also slightly raising levels of HDL cholesterol - the so-called "good" cholesterol -- in their blood by eating soy protein. This...

New Research In Mind-Body Medicine Shows That Social Interaction Accelerates Healing

By Mike Adams, August 6 2004
A new study conducted at Ohio State University and published in the journal Psychoneuroendocrinology has revealed that having social interaction makes wounds heal faster. In fact, this study demonstrated that wounds heal twice as fast in subjects who had social interaction compared to those who were isolated. This effect is well-documented, and the intermediary cause of this is the production of the stress hormone cortisol in response to being in isolation. These tests were conducted on hamsters...
