So, I'm seeing this study posted on a relative's FaceBook, and it looks like typical "OMG CELL PHONES ARE RADIOACTIVE" nonsense, but then I follow the link and it looks to my untrained eyes like they did a legit study. Could someone with better training take a peek at this and let me know if...

Hugo Chavez is now claiming that the US has a 'secret weapon' that caused his cancer... http://news.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=8396441 And of course all the moonbats are going to lap it up...

Could unnatural tampering with a woman's reproductive system have negative health consequences to a woman's reproductive system? That would seem to make simple sense and be a logical possibility, wouldn't you agree? I realize that this is most politically incorrect and that some immediately do...

CBS Radio just broke in with an alert; According to an Apple Press release, Steve Jobs has died.

For various reasons I have been following cancer research very closely and have said to myself on numerous occasions recently, "THAT looks promising. I hope it leads somewhere". Could this be it? http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/2/eb8457be-dad5-11e0-a58b-00144feabdc0.html#axzz1XkHq0SpV

This weekend the English peace activist Brian Haw died. He was quite well known in UK for his protest against the war in Iraq and was basically living the last 10 years in a camp before the parliament. He was diagnosed with lung cancer (5 year survival rate: maybe ~10%) but was coaxed to try a...

I came across a 1997 Harvard study that found that the active ingredient in marijuana, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), cut tumor and lung cancer growth in half in lab and mice studies. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/04/070417193338.htm At first I was interested but skeptical. Although...

I just saw a Sanjay Gupta's report on AC360 about cell phones and cancer. His premise wasn't that cell phones cause cancer but that they haven't been around long enough to conclusively evaluate long term health risks. He compared it to asbestos and cigarettes saying that since those can take 20...

Didn't find a thread for this, though it may be part of one, so: http://hubpages.com/hub/Scientists_cure_cancer__but_no_one_takes_notice ... sensationalist and containing factual problems (eg. mitocondria are not a type of cell, they are part of all cells - DCA-based drugs are patentable and...

For some reason, I am getting Prevention Magazine in the mail. I keep finding such ridiculous stuff in there. :mad: They seem to make a living taking a kernel of truth in a singular study and making sweeping/false conclusions about it. This month really irks me. Article: "Is your breakfast...

Hello, I am bit hesitant in posting this topic. Still, I have two simple questions:- 1. What can be the relationship between Cancer & Lactic acid(LA)? 2. How Cancer can be related to tonicity (esp. cell swelling due to altred tonicity)? Following links can be bit helpful:- "Lactic Acid...

A friend of mine linked to this study @ Facebook: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21335995 The title of the study is: "Evidence for acne-promoting effects of milk and other insulinotropic dairy products." ...but the abstract ends with this: ...and this is where the fun begins, the...

Okay, so just now there was a special on Dateline about Suzanne Somers titled "Suzanne Somers: A Dose of Controversy." I only walked in about halfway, but it was basically about how she believes that the "medical establishment" is suppressing the "truth about cancer cures" and that you can cure...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-11930988 I wonder how much Merck or GSK would charge for a patentable drug with the same efficacy?:D Does this open up any new lines of research into the causes of cancer?

I'm hoping this news doesn't cause anyone to abandon their medically-approved treatment, but this looks promising:

Toxic legacy of US assault on Fallujah 'worse than Hiroshima' This story has not attracted any US media coverage to my knowledge..

If mankind is observed as a body of the species homo sapien, then if the body of mankind has over the years created knowledge for the next generation to comprehend, then how would the rogue men/women who care nothing but of themselves be considered? Could a group of self centered people be...

Hitchens' NPR interview, http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=130917506 click on "Listen to this story" I'm moved by Hitchens' response to his cancer and his situation. You can sense his depth no matter what he says, including talking about his current health. What a model...

It seems like they are making good progress this year in finding new treatments and diagnostic techniques for tough diseases. Earlier there was news of a new drug for melanoma. Now there is a "100% accurate" test for Alzheimer’s This seems like really significant progress.

I was scouring New Zealand news for something interesting to do with alternative medicine and I found this video from the Breakfast morning show down here. It's not very long, but it features a professor - from one of New Zealand's universities - talking about a book he wrote on complementary...

Does anyone have any special scoop on this? http://jimhumble.com/ I ask because, first, I haven't the stomach to explore it and, second, I know a man whose wife has pancreatic cancer and he's looking into Jim Humble and his supposed panacea. Supposedly Master Humble (did he give himself that...

Hello all, This simple & logical but brain-storming thought came to my mind so liked to interact here about it. Every/most live being/s would like to live long, behave & evolve for his/her better survival. However nature's liking may be "survival of fittest". Then, In view of above, if...
