Make No Bones About It

,

A new class of drugs appears to be on the way to biting the dust. Bisphosphonates are prescribed to strengthen bone tissue. Chemically, they are made up of two groups of phosphates (phosphorus combined with oxygen) linked to carbon with two side chains. Fosamax and Actonel, perhaps the best known ones, are taken orally to prevent or treat osteoporosis. Other bisphosphonates, like Areida and Zometa, are given intravenously, usually for cancer patients and those suffering from a chronic bone disorder called Paget’s disease, to aggressively treat bone deterioration.

While we might imagine bone as a very solid, enduring structure, it is actually constantly in a state of flux: it is regenerated with new cells while old one are removed. Osteoclasts are a type of bone cell that perform this latter task and bisphosphonates work by blocking their function.

Mercury Amalgams

,

My first awareness of controversy surrounding the use of dental amalgam fillings arose in the mid-1980s on viewing a short ‘before and after’ video clip of a young girl who had suffered from epilepsy. She couldn’t have been more than 8 years old and for a number of years had experienced seizures every 10 minutes of her life that were uncontrollable by medication. Of course, the punch line is that immediately after the removal of the one amalgam filling placed in her mouth years before, the seizures stopped completely, never to return.

Oil Pulling

Medical expenses got you down? Tired of what it costs to see the doctor or how much you are paying for insurance? Disgusted that the healthcare provider you want to consult isn’t covered by the insurance anyhow? Can’t pay those hefty prices for those organic foods and supplements at the healthfood store? Here is an inexpensive way to improve you health by doing a simple cleanse that only requires a bottle of oil and about 20 minutes in the morning. It won’t take the place of good quality food and good quality healthcare, but it could have a significant impact on your wellbeing.

Pesticides

,

The “body burden” is a term used to signify an individual’s exposure to and absorption of toxic influences related to the pollution of our environment. One of the most insidious and ubiquitous toxins is pesticides. After all, these are chemicals which are designed to be deadly. What kills fungi, insects, plants, rodents may not kill humans, but could severely disrupt the function of the digestive, hormonal and neurological systems as well as disturb cellular metabolism. Citing research performed and published by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Environmental Protection Agency, the public information organization Environmental Working Group has disseminated much useful information about the pre valency of pesticides.

Psora, Psornium, Cancer

,

This is a headline you should but aren’t going to be seeing splashed across any major newspapers anytime soon: SURVIVAL RATE FOR SOME CANCERS IMPROVES DRAMATICALLY WITH HOMEOPATHIC TREATMENT. The fact is that two studies presented at the 2009 and 2010 Annual Conference of the American Society of Clinical Oncology have shown just that.1 What makes these reports even more remarkable is that the research was done with patients suffering from some of the most lethal types of cancer.
