Easy Tips for Healthy Pets
Easy Tips for Healthy Pets
(c) 2005 Dr GW Graham
Do you want a long and healthy life for your pets?
There are things in our pets' environments that can rob them of precious health and long life. I'm
not talking about cars accidents and mean kids in the neighborhood. I'm talking about things inside the home. Things like:
1) Food
Food is meant to be good tasting and good for you.
The same applies to our pets. Unfortunately, both
people food and pet food are full of stuff. And
most of this stuff isn't found growing naturally.
Manufacturers have ...

Natural Ways to Treat Stretch Marks
Pregnancy is a wonderful time in a woman’s life. One aspect of child-bearing, however, may not be so welcomed. For 75-90% of pregnant women, stretch marks, or striae gravidum, can appear in the later half of pregnancy. Stretch marks do not pose any health risk to either the mother or child, but can cause anxiety over their appearance for those who develop them. Stretch marks first appear as raised striations which vary in colour from pink, purple or brown, depending on the mother’s normal skin colour. Striations develop where fat is stored in the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, hips, but ...

'Embryonic-Like' Cell Discovery Could Affect Ethics Debate
(CNSNews.com) -- A reported breakthrough in stem cell research may lend new weight to the campaign against the use of human embryos in research, one of the most pressing ethical controversies facing governments in the U.S. and elsewhere. American and British researchers say that they have found, in umbilical cord blood, a new type of cell -- neither embryonic nor "adult" -- which is more versatile than the latter while avoiding the ethical dilemmas surrounding the former. {This is not a new discovery and Pro-Life groups have all along said to use these better cells from the umbilical cord blood or else use adult cells in both cases they are better cells for patients and in both cases there is no harm to any baby. It is disturbing to see that with all this evidence scientist still insist on harvesting stem cells from babies.}
Study hails potential of adult stem cells
Opponents of embryonic stem cell research are buoyed by new research, but others are doubtful. (The Age, 23 March 2005)
Louisville researchers find adult stem cells that could lead to cures
Interesting Stem-cell development. "Very small embryonic-like" or VSELs - help repair damaged tissue after a stroke in mice. Could eliminate the religious/political debate about the use of embryonic stem-cells.
Cord blood yields 'ethical' embryonic stem cells
The newly discovered human cells, named "cord-blood-derived embryonic-like stem cells" or CBEs, are not quite as primitive as embryonic stem cells, which can give rise to any tissue type of the body. But they appear to be much more versatile than "adult stem cells" such as those found in bone marrow which repair damaged tissue during life. "We have found a unique group of cells that bring together the essential qualities of both types of stem cells for the first time," says Colin McGuckin of Kingston University in Surrey, UK, who co-led the team with colleague Nico Forraz. But the factor that may make the discovery very significant is that umbilical cord blood can be saved, stored and multiplied without any of the ethical dilemmas facing embryonic stem cell use, which are derived from human fetuses.
U.S. researchers record potential breakthrough in embryonic stem cell work
WASHINGTON (AP) - U.S. scientists have discovered a way to fuse adult skin cells with embryonic stem cells, a promising breakthrough that could lead to the creation of useful stem cells without first having to create and destroy human embryos.

Could You Have an Identical Twin?
I am not a twin myself, but if I were I would definitely want to be an identical twin. There is just something amazing about having someone else in the world with my exact DNA, down to the last amino acid. Most people think of twins as being either identical or fraternal, but there are many different types of twins. Identical Twin - Identical twins are born when a fertilized egg, or zygote, splits in two. Because the egg is fertilized by one sperm cell, and it is the sperm cell that determines the sex of the child, identical twins are always the same sex. The two children ...

The Rare Blue Roses
Are you a rose lover? If so, or even if your not, Blue Roses are a variety anyone can appreciate. The Blue Rose is very rare, hard to find, and difficult to cultivate. Why is this? Are they available at all? To find out more information about Blue roses, keep reading.
Blue Roses are rare because they are difficult to cultivate. What does this mean? Well, in simple terms, the rose does not have blue pigment in its DNA therefore, does not allow itself to become blue even with scientists trying to make it happen, there is no true blue rose available today. But, there are alternatives.

A Look at Microdermabrasion Machines
Microdermabrasion systems are safe for most all skin types. Microdermabrasion systems actually evolved from a process known as dermabrasion. Though effective, especially for serious dermis scarring, dermabrasion is harsh, requiring a metallic re-surfacing tool, anesthesia, and long recovery times. Microdermabrasion systems, however, gently smooth signs of aging, sun damage, and scarring with micro-crystal creams. The beauty of micro-crystal creams is how powerfully they polish the skin, but remains gentle and forgiving.
A special cleansing device circulates a cream, infused with tiny e ...
