Benefits of Green Tea and Cancer Prevention
Tea and Cancer Prevention Tea drinking is an ancient tradition dating back 5,000 years in China and India. Long regarded in those cultures as an aid to good health, researchers now are studying tea for possible use in the prevention and treatment of a variety of cancers. Investigators are especially interested in the antioxidants-called catechins-found in tea. 1. What are antioxidants? The human body constantly produces unstable molecules called oxidants, also commonly referred to as free radicals. To become stable, oxidants steal electrons from other molecules and, in the ...

The Great Awakening--Menopause
The Great Awakening--Menopause
By: Dr. Loretta Lanphier, ND, CN, HHP
Menopause is a natural transition all women experience, as natural as adolescence. For your grandmother and great-grandmother, life expectancy was shorter. Reaching menopause often meant that their life was nearing an end. But this is no longer true. Today women are living longer—on average, until age 78. How you experience menopause is determined by many factors: attitude, diet, overall health, genetics, and your cultural group. Medical science views menopause as the state of your body after you had completed one f ...

'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.

Imagine Having $42,000,000 You Can’t Spend!
Which lesson would you draw from this?
“Crime doesn’t pay?” or “Murphy strikes again?”
Here’s a story that could be fiction if it wasn’t true.
On Sunday, December 19, 2004, a gang of Belfast, Northern
Ireland, robbers initiated a daring 24-hour plan to rob the
Northern Bank.
While holding family members of two executives hostage, they
made off with the staggering sum of $42,000,000. According to
the Guinness Book of World Records, this heist rates fourth on
the all-time list and first for a peacetime haul of currency
alone.
These were not or ...

Headlines Have You In Mind
I've been scouring the business opportunity magazines and Internet sites for terrific headlines. It was my plan to take these headlines and retool them to fit my particular endeavors. But a funny thing happened on the way to the retooling shop. I noticed a recurring theme. One that I didn't like. I call it the "Prey Parting" headline. It reads like this: HOMEWORKERS URGENTLY NEEDED! or it might say: WOULD YOU LIKE TO MAKE $363.00 NEXT WEEK AND EVERY WEEK? The sub head always says something to the effect: No Selling
No Experience Required

Benefits of Human Genome Project
Rapid progress in genome science and a glimpse into its potential applications have spurred observers to predict that biology will be the foremost science of the 21st century. Technology and resources generated by the Human Genome Project and other genomics research are already having a major impact on research across the life sciences. The potential for commercial development of genomics research presents U.S. industry with a wealth of opportunities, and sales of DNA-based products and technologies in the biotechnology industry are projected to exceed $45 billion by 2009 (Consulting Resources ...
