The idea of Evidence Based Medicine (EBM) is great. The reality, though, not so much. Human perception is often flawed, so the premise of EBM is to formally study medical treatments and there have certainly been some successes. Consider the procedure of angioplasty. Doctors insert a catheter into the blood vessels of the heart and use a balloon like device to open up the artery and restore blood flow. In acute heart attacks studies confirm that this is an effective procedure. In chronic heart disease the COURAGE study and more recently the ORBITA study showed that angioplasty is largely useless.

NHS patients with lymphoma have for the first time been given a pioneering treatment that genetically reprogrammes their immune system to fight cancer. Mike Simpson, 62, from Durham, says his cancer is now “on the run”. The therapy, called CAR-T, is a “living drug” that is tailor-made for each patient using their body’s own cells Doctors at King’s College Hospital, London, said some patients were being completely cured in a way that had “never been seen before”. …read more Source: Sott health news feed

By AdminM by Crystal Lauer Health Impact News Much of the research available to us today regarding modern-day diseases points to oxidative stress and inflammation. One of the easiest ways to combat this modern-day problem affecting our health is to replace refined sugars in your diet with honey. Let’s take a look at how making this one simple change in our diet, to using honey instead of refined sugar, can have tremendous health benefits. Chronic diseases run rampant through the American population with approximately 133 million people having at least one condition. …read more Source: Health Impact News
Scientists in the FinnBrain research project of the University of Turku, Finland, discovered that the gut microbes of a 2.5-month-old infant are associated with the temperament traits manifested at six months of age. Temperament describes individual differences in expressing and regulating emotions in infants, and the study provides new information on the association between behaviour and microbes. A corresponding study has never been conducted on infants so young or in the same scale. Rodent studies have revealed that the composition of gut microbiota and its remodelling is connected to behaviour. In humans, gut microbes can be associated with different diseases,

By Sara Tipton Self-defense is incredibly important for women to know. Women are usually seen as the “weaker sex” and it doesn’t matter whether we like it or not. Those who have more body mass will likely try to take advantage of those with less body mass, especially when supplies dwindle and the grocery stores run out of that last can of corn. If you’ve ever experienced Black Friday when a store runs out of clearance TVs, you’ll get a little bit of an idea as to how people will act when there’s no food on the shelves. So what

By Lori Alton, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) Sea salt is viewed by many as a healthier alternative to refined table salt. But, a recent study on common brands of sea salt from around the world has revealed that the vast majority contain microplastics. Microplastics, tiny fragments of petrochemicals less than 5 millimeters long, originate from packaging materials, detergents, cosmetic and clothing – and are now showing up in seawater, freshwater lakes, aquatic life and even humans. Why is this an issue? Some evidence suggests that these tiny particles can act as hormone disruptors and carcinogens. Editor’s note: 90% of all …read

Here’s how to avoid this sleight-of-hand move by packaging designers. Organic. All natural. High protein. Such tantalizing words seem to adorn every package at the grocery store. Even Lucky Charms, a cereal that’s largely dyed candy, promises that it has “whole grains” and is “gluten free” right beside the sugary sparkle “now with magical unicorn marshmallows!” Those healthy-feeling words are there for a reason: They work! According to a new series of studies done by Rotterdam School of Management and Vanderbilt University, the promises we see on cereal boxes-and likely most other packages at the grocery store-often make us perceive

Sleeping with a cellphone, bright alarm clock on or a television next to your bed puts women at risk for weight gain, a new study found. Women who slept with a light or even the TV on were 17% more likely to have gained 11 pounds over the course of five years, according to the study, the results of which were published Monday in the medical journal JAMA Internal Medicine. Light coming in from outside the room was associated with more modest weight gain, researchers found. The study is the first to find an association between exposure to artificial light

In some people, faint evening light is enough to delay the normal rise in melatonin. Humans differ widely in their sensitivity to low levels of light in the evening, which could explain why late exposure to artificial light worsens the sleep and health of some – but not all – people. Sean Cain and his collaborators at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia, exposed 55 people to varying levels of light starting from four hours before their bedtimes, and periodically measured the amount of the hormone melatonin in the participants’ saliva. Melatonin levels naturally rise in the evening, helping to start

Impossible Foods is billing its Impossible Burger as a healthier, more sustainable option than beef, but when tested by consumer advocacy group Moms Across America (MAA), concerning levels of the herbicide glyphosate were found in the food.1 It’s not at all surprising, considering the Impossible patty is made mostly of genetically engineered (GE) soy protein, and in the U.S. about 94 percent of soybean acres are planted with such GE seeds, which are designed to tolerate glyphosate, i.e., Roundup herbicides.2 This alone pokes holes in their attempts to greenwash an otherwise highly processed fake food, but the company’s response to

For years, homeopathy has been unfairly maligned by the American Medical Association (AMA), FDA and mainstream medicine as a worthless placebo that lacks any scientific evidence of effectiveness. If you listen to these aggressive mainstream critics, you would never know that homeopathy was originally a well-accepted medical practice taught in medical schools, which conferred degrees in the specialty. There were even homeopathic hospitals and the practice was supported by governments and influential leaders. Homeopathy was developed by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843), a German physician to the royal family, who was appalled at the traditional medical practices of his day, such

Yes: there are opiates that derive from various food proteins that exert peculiar effects on the human brain. The worst? The opiates that come from the gliadin protein of wheat and related grains. Opiate receptor researchers at the National Institutes of Health originally coined the term “gluteomorphin” nearly 40 years ago when it was determined that the gliadin protein of wheat undergoes partial digestion (since humans lack the digestive enzymes to fully digest proline-rich amino acid sequences in proteins from seeds of grasses) to yield peptides that are 4- to 5-amino acids long. Some of these peptides were found to

By Julie Fidler There are many “secrets” to leading a long and healthy life (though they aren’t really secrets). One of them – which I’m sure you’ve heard time and time again – is to limit sugar intake (especially added sugars). One of the best ways to do that is to cut down on sugary, health-hazardous beverages. According to numerous pieces of research, any sugar-sweetened drink can cut years off of your life, including sports drinks, fruit drinks, and energy drinks. Just because there is a picture of fruit on the label doesn’t mean it’s safe for consumption. And, as

By Julie Fidler Many depression sufferers also suffer from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and a small study suggests that taking probiotics may ease both conditions. Researchers from McMaster University in Canada conducted a randomized, placebo-controlled trial that uncovered a link between probiotics and mood improvement in 44 adults with IBS and mild to moderate depression or anxiety. The study also showed that probiotics caused changes in regions of the brain related to emotional processing. [1] For the study, participants were divided into two groups and followed for 10 weeks. Half of the subjects took a daily dose of the probiotic
