  • Ultram Story: Keeping Pain Control Under Control

    When Aspirin Isn’t Enough

    It’s surprising how clearly we can recall getting hurt. Years later, we can recount our first fall from a too-tempting tree, a bee-sting, the birth of a child. We can even tell humorous stories about those events because the pain was transient – it passed.

    But many illnesses and conditions can make pain a daily visitor, interfering with our jobs, family lives, even sleep. Even ancient people tried to relieve the devastation of chronic pain using surgeries and medicinal herbs. By the 1800s, people started using narcotics (drugs like opium) to redu ...

  • The Shocking Truth About Eight Deadly Diseases That May Be Affecting Your Health and Lifestyle

I would like to share with you what Dr. Strand has to say about "the eight deadly diseases that are sending people to an early grave".

    The Aging Enigma
    The Harvard Magazine looks at aging research: "Is aging necessary? Are the wrinkles and gray hair, weakening muscles, neurodegeneration, reduced cardiovascular function, and increased risk of cancer that afflict organisms toward the end of their lives inevitable? Or are these age-related changes part of a genetic program that can be altered?" The article is a review of the conservative gerontological position on aging and where we are in our attempts to understand and manipulate the aging process - all metabolic or genetic investigation and tinkering, in other words, with no mention of SENS-like work to repair and reverse the damage of aging. This absence is very much part of the problem when it comes to making meaningful, rapid progress towards healthy life extension.

    Fluoride added to public water supplies may be linked to cancer suggests two new studies
    Cancer is a political problem more than it is a medical problem. New York -- February 6, 2002 -- Fluoride added to public water supplies may be linked to cancer suggests two new studies. The likelihood of fluoride acting as a genetic cause of cancer requires consideration, writes Takahashi and colleagues in the July 2001 Journal of Epidemiology (1) who found that 23 of 36 cancer sites (63.9%) were associated positively with fluoridation status, using World Health Organization data and the U.S. Fluoridation Census.

  • Can We Really Get Rid of Cellulite?

    It has been the bane of every women's existence since the dawn of time - the affliction known as cellulite. We all have it to varying degrees, and it seems to get worse as we get older in many cases. So, should we just resign ourselves to the fact that it is here to stay, or is there a way to fight and get rid of cellulite?

    Thankfully, the answer is yes, we can fight cellulite, or at least the appearance of cellulite, through several therapeutic treatments that are available on the market today. It is not, however, a one-time deal. Once you stop the treatments, the cellulite will inev ...

  • Heating Vegetable Oil to Frying Temps Forms Toxic Compound

    New research by a University of Minnesota professor and a graduate student shows that when highly unsaturated vegetable oils are heated at frying temperature (365 F) for extended periods–or even for half an hour–a highly toxic compound, HNE (4-hydroxy-trans-2-nonenal) forms in the oil.

    A. Saari Csallany, professor of food chemistry and nutritional biochemistry at U. of Minn. said “HNE is a well known, highly toxic compound that is easily absorbed from the diet.

    The toxicity arises because the compound is highly reactive with proteins, nucleic acids–DNA and RNA–and other biomolec ...
