Plant-based diet greatly reduces risk of cancer, say studies Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Another study in the same issue shows that consuming olive oil reduces the risk of breast cancer. So here we're talking about a wide variety of cancers: prostate cancer, breast cancer, colon cancer, even leukemia and multiple myeloma. And across the board, we're seeing that consuming a plant-based diet is what prevents cancer and enhances health at many different levels, including cardiovascular health.

Spiritual Nutrition: Six Foundations for Spiritual Life and the Awakening of Kundalini Gabriel Cousens, M.D. See book keywords and concepts

Research has shown that not only does it result in longer lifespan, but it also lowers blood pressure, reduces destructive auto-antibodies that attack the brain, reduces loss of central nervous system cells, strengthens the immune system, slows the overall aging process, lowers cholesterol, diminishes the rate of heart disease, reduces muscle oxygen loss, improves muscle function, reduces free radical damage to body tissue, helps stabilize blood sugar in adult-onset diabetes (and in the author's clinical research even reverses Syndrome X), and helps the body run at peak metabolic efficiency.

The top ten consumer questions about superfruit juices: Pomegranate, blueberry, acai and cherry Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Pomegranate: Anti-cancer, protects the heart and cardiovascular system Blueberry: Lowers high cholesterol, protects the nervous system from oxidative damage (many people can eliminate statin drugs by eating more blueberries) Acai: Anti-cancer, reduces digestive cancer risk, supports healthy nervous system function Noni: Extremely potent anti-cancer, immune-boosting fruit (tastes terrible, though, if it's real) Cherry: Anti-inflammatory. reduces or ends arthritis pain. Anthocyanins are also anti-cancer.

The USPSTF found insufficient evidence that treatment of those at high risk reduces suicide attempts or mortality. The USPSTF found no studies that directly address the harms of screening and treatment of suicide risk. As a result, the USPSFT could not determine the balance of benefits and harms of screening for suicide risk in the primary care setting. "8 So, according to the USPSFT, there is insufficient evidence to support the claim that screening reduces the risk of suicide attempts, and it further states that there is insufficient evidence that "treatment" reduces suicide attempts.

Dirt: The Erosion of Civilizations David R. Montgomery See book keywords and concepts

While the effect on erosion rates depends on a number of local factots, such as the type of soil and the crop, in general a 10 percent increase in ground surface cover reduces erosion by 20 percent, such that leaving 30 percent of the ground covered reduces erosion by more than 50 percent. Lower erosion rates alone do not explain the rapid rise in no-till agriculture's popularity. No-till methods have been adopted primarily because of economic benefits to farmers.

Product review: The MH-C9000 WizardOne NiMH battery charger from Powerex Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

The truth is that quick charging batteries destroys them and reduces their capacity. The best way to charge a battery is with slow current -- the slower, the better. I recommend 200mA (milli-amps) for all NiMH batteries except 9V, which should be charged at 50mA. Blasting batteries with very high current in order to "quick" charge them will overheat the battery and permanently alter the internal chemistry in a way that reduces total capacity. So avoid quick chargers. They're mostly just a marketing gimmick. Finding a high-quality battery charger Quality NiMH battery chargers are hard to find.

The top herbs and supplements for wound healing and post-surgical recovery Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Zinc: Best taken prior to surgery, zinc reduces wound healing time, rapidly reduces wound size, and bolsters immune function to help ward off infection. Topical zinc, such as calamine lotion, also inhibits bacteria growth on the surface of skin, helping to prevent infection. As zinc deficiency is common in the United States, most doctors recommend 30 mg/day, taken orally for four to six weeks, to bring your levels up to par before surgery.

Born Free baby bottles win "Best New Infant Health Product" award at Natural Products Expo West 2007 Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Improved air flow These bottles from New Born Free feature other infant health features as well, including a unique air flow design that reportedly reduces the need to burp your baby after feeding from the bottle. The flow also reduces pressure differences inside the bottle, which, we were told, can help reduce ear infections in infants (because air pressure differences can push bacteria right into the ear canal through an infant's eustachian tubes). We weren't able to test this feature, so you'll have to test it yourself to see how well it works.

The top five nutrients for healthy skin Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Vitamin E is another powerful antioxidant that reduces the effects of sun exposure on the skin. When combined with vitamin A, vitamin E is especially effective at preventing certain skin cancers. Vitamin E also reduces the appearance of wrinkles, and, when applied topically, soothes dry or rough skin. Food sources of vitamin E include wheat germ oil, sunflower seeds, safflower and sunflower oils, almonds, spinach, peaches, prunes, tomatoes, cabbage, asparagus, and avocados. Avoid synthetic vitamin E supplements, as they have been shown to actually harm health.

Also, the skin stores a large percentage of the nutrients in many fruits, so peeling them to eat just the interior portion greatly reduces their nutritional value. How Do Meat and Dairy Cause a Toxic Colon? If left alone in their natural state, meat and milk are not necessarily bad. However, think about all of the changes meat and dairy products go through before they reach your kitchen.

Saliva, which is high in ptyalin, is secreted by the salivary glands and reduces starch to maltose, which in turn is reduced in the intestines to dextrose. Ptyalin will not activate in a mildly acidic or strong alkaline environment. The acid in regular vinegar, grapefruit, lemons, or other sour fruits will completely stop the action of ptyalin, resulting in a poorly digested meal. These meals will likely ferment, producing toxic byproducts as well as decreasing the nutritional value. Basically you shouldn't mix acids and starches during meals.

Topically applied genistein reduces the incidence and multiplicity of skin tumors in the DMBA-initiated and TPA-promoted multiplicity of skin mouse model by 20% and 50%, respectively (J. Wang et al., 2002). In the UVB light-induced complete carcinogenesis model, topical pretreatment of SKH-1 mice with 10 pM genistein significantly reduced the formation of H202 and 8-bydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine, but not of pyrimidine dimers in the epidermis (J. Wang et al., 2002). 3.3.

In (-)-pterocarpan biosynthesis the key enzyme determining the stereochemistry of the 6a (and 11a) positions of the pterocarpan is isoflavone reductase (IFR), which stereospecifically reduces 2'-hydroxyisoflavone to (37?)-isoflavanone (Fischer et al, 1990a; Paiva et al., 1991). This (37?)-isoflavanone is further reduced to isoflavanol, then dehydrated to pterocarpan with retention of stereochemistry (Dixon, 1999). An initial hypothesis for the biosynthesis of (+)-pisatin suggested that pea IFR would specifically generate (35)-isoflavanone.

Suppression of ovulation reduces the cyclic symptoms some women have on the typical 21 days on and 7 days off pill regimens. There is also less breakthrough bleeding and a decrease in pregnancy rates with these shorter time-off regimens. More and more women are using their birth control daily, or for three months at a time. Many oral contraceptives are being repackaged with only three or four days of hormone-free pills, and we will likely see more of this in the future.

Several single-nucleotide polymorphisms, in which the variant amino acid reduces coenzyme binding and thus enzymatic activity, are likely to be remediable by raising cellular concentrations of the cofactor through high-dose vitamin therapy."2? Simply put, there are many people who carry genetic mutations that require them to eat a diet abnormally high in a specific nutrient. If they do not, they will be unable to manufacture effective levels of a particular enzyme and, therefore, will be very likely to develop associated deficiency diseases.

A drug that reduces criminal recidivism by a third! A drug that cures people of phobias! We would never hear the end of it. The problem is there's no money in it. Psychologists, social workers, and researchers tend not to be the best marketers in the world. You can get some CBT manuals free of charge, on the Web sites of the National Institute of Corrections. Aaron Beck has said, "The drug companies spend several billion dollars a year on their consumer ads and promotions to professionals. This has created an aura of success" for drugs.

As a result, niacin reduces hepatic synthesis of very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) and triglyceride levels. Because there is less VLDL available, LDL levels decrease.227 The Coronary Drug Project was the first trial to study the effect of niacin on cardiovascular endpoints.228 Niacin therapy in men with prior MI reduced the five-year incidence of nonfatal reinfarction by 27 percent. In addition, after a mean follow-up of 15 years all-cause mortality was 11 percent lower in niacin-treated men compared with placebo-treated patients.

The levonorgestrel intrauterine system in the Mirena IUD substantially reduces menstrual flow approximately 80 percent as a bonus to the excellent contraception it provides. It has also been found to significantly reduce menstrual cramps and might be a good option for women seeking both contraception and treatment of menstrual cramps. SEEING A LICENSED PRIMARY HEALTH-CARE PRACTITIONER (N.D., M.D., D.O., N.P., P.A.) We need to remember that primary dysmenorrhea is pain during menses that exists without any identifiable pelvic disease.

Hirsutism can be with treated topically with Vaniqa, which reduces the transformation of testosterone to dihydrotesterone at the hair follicle, reducing the growth, or at least the size and color, of the hair. This product needs to be applied once to twice daily in the areas of hair growth and works while it is being used. There is no permanent effecr, so it has to be used daily. Also, electrolysis and laser hair removal are very effective permanent hair removal treatment. Spironolactone, an antiandrogen medication with minimal side effects, can reduce acne and hair growth.
