However, a new study from the University of Michigan (U-M) Comprehensive Cancer Center shows that there's a way people diagnosed with head or neck malignancies can help themselves improve their survival...
Study Says Vitamin D Deficiency has Increased AlarminglyBy Reuben Chow, April 2 2009
(NewsTarget) Vitamin D is a critically important nutrient. However, with most people spending an increasing amount of time indoors, and wearing long-sleeved tops or slapping on sunscreen lotions when they do go under the sun, levels of vitamin D in our bodies are falling to dangerously low levels. And a recent study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine has suggested that the state of widespread deficiency in the United States population may be even more staggering than most of us realize...

How to Get Plenty of Iron as a VeganBy Sheryl Walters, April 2 2009
(NewsTarget) Iron is vital to life. Every cell in the human body contains iron. Oxygenation of tissues and cells is accomplished by iron contained in red blood cells which carry oxygenated blood throughout the body and pick up carbon dioxide to be excreted. The human body uses iron to enhance immune system functioning, produce energy and increase oxygen distribution throughout the organ systems. Iron is available in two forms, heme-iron and nonheme-iron. Heme-iron is contained in animal flesh. For...

(NaturalNews) Just how good is resveratrol at preventing cancer and heart disease? It's so good that drug companies are trying to mimic its molecules in order to claim they're "creating" a new drug to prevent heart disease.
But this is Mother Nature's miracle drug -- only it's not a drug. It's a molecule synthesized by plants for protecting themselves! And it turns out the same molecule can protect you from cancer, heart disease and a whole lot more.

IP6 is Highly Effective Alternative Treatment for CancerBy Barbara L. Minton, April 1 2009
(NewsTarget) Anyone looking for effective alternatives to the treatments offered by traditional cancer specialists might want to look at inositol hexophosphate (IP6). It is a very simple and inexpensive treatment that may easily get written off by people, who have been led to believe the cure for cancer can only be found in a laboratory through the complexities of science and only after years of expensive research and testing. Yet it is becoming obvious that one of the most effective cures for cancer...
Colon Cancer Caused by Western DietBy Sherry Baker, April 1 2009
(NewsTarget) A so-called Western diet eaten by the majority of Americans and many Europeans is loaded with meat, fat and processed foods. It also lacks complex carbohydrates. Put these facts together and you have a perfect recipe for developing colon cancer, Professor Stephen O'Keefe from the University of Pittsburgh, stated before the Society for General Microbiology meeting at Harrogate International Centre in the UK on March 31.
So what specifically is the connection between diet, colon cancer...
Lack of Sleep Linked to Pre-DiabetesBy Reuben Chow, April 1 2009
(NewsTarget) One of the key but often underestimated elements of a healthy lifestyle is a sufficient amount of quality sleep. A recent piece of research presented at the American Heart Association's 49th Annual Conference on Cardiovascular Disease Epidemiology and Prevention has added to the wisdom of this age-old belief, having found that persons who get less than 6 hours of sleep each night have a higher risk of developing pre-diabetes, a condition characterized by impaired fasting glucose preceding...
Natural Options for Turning Breech BabiesBy Sheryl Walters, April 1 2009
(NewsTarget) About 4.5% of single baby pregnancies result in a breech (head up instead of head down) presentation. Breech presentations result in an increased number of Caesarean sections and an increase in perinatal mortality. Rarely are women who have breech babies allowed to attempt a vaginal birth. Because a C-section is a major abdominal surgery with associated risks and recovery time it is important to attempt to get the baby into a proper vertex (head down) position. An external cephalic version...
Irradiated Foods Cause Severe Neurological DamageBy Sherry Baker, April 1 2009
(NewsTarget) In a study just published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, scientists from the University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW-Madison) report on cats developing severe neurological symptoms due to a degradation of myelin, the fatty insulator of nerve fibers called axons. Because myelin facilitates the conduction of nerve signals, when it is lost or damaged there can be impairment of sensation, movement, thinking and other functions, depending on what particular nerves are...
Increasing Fruits and Vegetables Leads to Permanent Weight Loss By Barbara L. Minton, April 1 2009
(NewsTarget) Although most Americans find their waistlines expanding with each year, a few manage to stay slender and trim throughout their lives. These are the ones who capture attention and never seem to look their ages. How they do it was the subject of a recent Consumer Reports investigation that sought to determine if these people were genetically gifted, or whether they were in possession of a magic secret resembling the fountain of youth. The study found that getting a large part of nutrition...
Vitamin D Deficiency Linked to Health Conditions in AdolescentsBy Reuben Chow, April 1 2009
(NewsTarget) Vitamin D levels in the general population are falling, caused in large part by sedentary lifestyles and the often overstated skin cancer scare, and our young ones are not spared from this trend, either. And this is negatively affecting their health, as revealed in a study presented at the American Heart Association's 49th Annual Conference on Cardiovascular Disease Epidemiology and Prevention, which linked low vitamin D levels with several health conditions in teenagers.

Statins Cause Heart Attacks in Some UsersBy Sherry Baker, March 30 2009
(NewsTarget) Over 38 million people in the U.S. are currently taking statin drugs to lower high cholesterol levels. However, German scientists at the Martin Luther-University in Halle-Wittenberg have just published research in the Journal of Lipid Research that shows, for some people, taking statins actually increases the risk of having heart attacks.
The researchers studied over 1,000 patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), and found that a subset of those had high levels of an enzyme called...

Department of Health and Human Services Approves Fictitious Medical Device Review Board Led by a Dead DogBy Mike Adams, March 29 2009
(NaturalNews) Just how trustworthy are medical review boards that review and approve medical devices?

Naturally Treat Celiac DiseaseBy Sheryl Walters, March 29 2009
(NewsTarget) Millions of people are affected by celiac disease, a condition that causes an autoimmune reaction to gluten which is found in wheat, barley, and rye. This reaction results in inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract and destruction of villi (small fingerlike projections responsible for nutrient absorption) in the small intestine. As a result, malabsorption and malnutrition often occur resulting in varied symptoms that often make diagnosis of celiac disease difficult. The symptoms of...
Tai Chi Provides Natural Treatment for Stroke DamageBy Sherry Baker, March 28 2009

The result, tai chi practitioners say, is an improved flow of "qi" (sometimes spelled " chi"), a vital life energy that promotes mind and body calmness and health. Now modern-day scientists are backing up many...
Breastfeeding Shown to Decrease the Risk of SIDSBy Sheryl Walters, March 28 2009
(NewsTarget) SIDS is the sudden unexplained death of an infant and is the number one cause of death in U.S babies less than one year old.

There are many hypotheses for why SIDS happens but there is no known cause. Factors such as stomach sleeping, a smoker in the house, and blankets in a baby's bed increases the risk.

L-Carnitine may Prevent and Treat Liver CancerBy Sherry Baker, March 26 2009

Options for Treating Dental CavitiesBy Sheryl Walters, March 26 2009
(NewsTarget) Almost every person has had a cavity filled at least once. Until recently the only choice for these fillings was an amalgam. This amalgam type of filling has been used for about 150 years by dentists but has come under fire recently because of one of its ingredients: mercury. Patients who have reservations about amalgams now have other choices including plastic composite fillings as well as more natural alternatives such as xylitol and ozone therapy.
Amalgams are made of mercury combined...
