Environmental Medicine

Our modern preservatives and other pollutants like yellow dye no. 5 have caused bodily responses which detract or impair the natural process of our system. It is a serious issue that science may argue about while we all suffer major impacts. One of the hardest things to measure or gauge is the impact on the soul and brain through hormonal and thalami responses which we touched upon in the Third Eye/Thalami research. Some competent doctors claim a correlation with mental illnesses as the histamines generated to respond to foreign agents cause inflammations in body tissues. Does this chemical interplay between the body and the environment affect all of our 'temple' in the physical body? We think it does and we are concerned about genetic transference and mutational activity as well.

"In 'Allergic to the Twentieth Century', popular science-writer Peter Radetsky investigates the shocking increase in illnesses caused by our chemically saturated environment:

*An estimated 37.5 million {U.S.} people experience physical reactions to new paint, detergents" perfumes, and myriad other common products

*More than 100,000 veterans have registered as sufferers of Gulf War syndrome

*Untold thousands suffer from sick building syndrome

*And severe cases of multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS) - a debilitating disease that makes living with almost any chemical product an impossibility - are on the rise

Using startling case histories and up-to-the-minute science {1997}, Radetsky investigates the sufferers, the skeptics, and the scientists who wage the fight against environmental allergies-{Without addressing controversial chemicals prescribed for kids - Ritalin has recently been shown to cause heart disease along with all its other negatives.} a controversial disease that may very soon affect us all."

He doesn't deal with a very positive treatment for allergies that we cover under the yeast heading. That is a continuing mystery to me, why not allow 80% of allergy sufferers to benefit from cheap natural healing that yeast de-sensitization treatment allows for all allergies (perhaps not sick building, and Gulf War Syndrome, which may be more than allergies).

Oral Chelation Therapy Versus Intravenous Chelation Therapy

Is oral chelation therapy more effective than IV chelation therapy? It depends on the patient and his or her needs and desired outcome. When oral chelation therapy is done correctly with the correct dose of cysteine, the effects are often high quality and quite useful when treating heavy metal toxicity or treating hardened arteries.

Pain Reliever For Cancer

Fentanyl isn't exactly a household name. However, it's considered in the same league as other recreational drugs, such as heroin an ecstasy, albeit for the fact that it's much more dangerous. As a matter of fact, this drug has a potency that is eighty times that of heroin. What makes it slightly redeemable in the eyes of the scientific community is its medicinal properties.

Adult to Adult Living Donor Liver Transplant

More than 15,000 people in the United States are currently waiting for liver transplants according to UNOS, the United Network for Organ Sharing. However, only 4500 - 5000 cadaver donor livers become available each year, and more than 1700 people in the US die each year awaiting a donor liver. Since there is no dialysis for liver failure as there is for kidney failure, patients must either get a transplant or die.

DNA and Antibiotic Resistance

All living things contain DNA. In fact, DNA is the universal genetic code for life. DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid. But where does this name come from?
