Vitamins that May Affect Hair Growth

Several different vitamin or mineral deficiencies can cause dry hair. To treat dry hair, try taking a multivitamin with 100 percent of the daily value of the essential vitamins. A multivitamin and mineral combination may provide some added coverage for possible deficiencies.
It's been shown that too little biotin and pantothenic acid (both B-complex vitamins) can lead to dry hair. Shampoos and hair treatment products commonly contain pantothenic acid (or pantothenol).
But evidence supporting the benefits of pantothenic acid for dry hair and hair loss is very weak. Also, some peo ...

Promethean Hispanic Fire

In the Greek tale of creation, a Titan (Greek god) by the name of Epimetheus is given the task of creating living creatures. He screws the job up by giving all the good DNA and survival mechanisms to the animals. When it came time to creating man he had nothing left but soft skin and weak limbs.
Desperate, he calls upon his brother Prometheus (which means forethought) to help him out. Prometheus decides to give humans the ability to walk upright and be able to see far away into the distance (like gods). Prometheus then flies to heaven, steals fire from the sun and gives it to mankind. ...

New Gene Tool May Unlock Root Causes of Disease
Copyright 2005 Daily News Central

Genetic researchers have made substantial advances in understanding the root causes of common diseases and the history of human evolution, according to a series of reports published in scientific journals this week.

Chief among these accomplishments is the work of an international consortium of more than 200 scientists from Canada, China, Japan, Nigeria, the United Kingdom and the United States published in the October 27 issue of the journal Nature.

The team studied DNA samples from four different parts of the world and concluded that gen ...

Discussion on Genetically Modified free food - 15th March

Is it fresh? Is it pure? These are not the only questions you need to ask when you are shopping at your favorite grocery shop. Will it harm my baby? Make the antibiotics I take completely ineffective?, these are some of the additional questions you will need to ask, with companies like Monsanto pushing for Genetically Modified food into the foodchain. ...

Genetically modified food bears no label

Also known as "Frankenfood," genetically modified food is contained in more than half of the food consumed in the United States - and the average consumer doesn't know it. Obtaining information about GM food isn't only a difficult task for those in the industry, but it's nearly an impossible one for the average food consumer.

Italy calls for independent EU research on GMOs

Italy, known as skeptical about genetically modified foods and crops, called on Monday for Europe's top food safety agency to use its own research when deciding if GMOs are safe -- not just that of the ...

Surprise! You've likely had genetically modified food

The answers are: yes, no and almost definitely. But according to a survey, most Americans couldn't answer correctly even though they've been eating genetically modified foods , unlabeled , for nearly a decade.

Bacteria are key to 'green' plastics, drugs

Commerical trials are underway in Kansas on a "green" method of making succinate, a key ingredient of many plastics, drugs, solvents and food additives. Scientists are using a genetically modified bacteria that metabolizes glucose from grain sorghum and produces almost pure succinate. Finding clean, renewable production methods for succinate and other high-use chemicals is a high priority of the U.S. chemical industry, the Department of Energy and the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

New Hope for Chronic Fatigue and Fibromyalgia Sufferers

There are numerous theories with regard to the causes of chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia, many of which may be indeed touching on the truth or at least touching on an aggravator or contributor to these afflictions. Diseases in general have been growing in epidemic proportion over at least the past 20 years, especially in the United States, where our increasingly toxic environment and lifestyles have drifted further and further away from what is natural in the name of progress, technology, and profit. Chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia are no exception, the two often being experienced togethe ...

Human Origins
The issue of human evolution going back at least 9,000,000 (nine million) years and possibly even being upright by that time is another of the facts which when in my youth seemed totally ridiculous. Actually many mystics said it goes back twelve million years to when what could be called the missing link occurred. The matter of whether we descended from apes is still up in the air and more importantly it would appear the mystics were right about cross-breeding and shamanistic attunements to affect such things in many life forms. These qualitative or spiritual changes are reflected in an indivi ...

What One Should Know About Allergies

Allergies affect approximately 60 million Americans, which means one in every five adults or children suffer from them, and are common in men as well as in women. Thirty-five million people have upper respiratory symptoms, which are allergic reactions to airborne pollen. Around 10 million Americans have allergies to cats and two million present severe reactions to various insect stings.

Food allergies are less common in the family of allergies. About one out of three people pretend to have a food allergy and only about three to eight percent of children younger than three years old, a ...
