  • Can’t Lose Weight? Syndrome X May Be the Culprit
    “I’ve put on 40 pounds in one year!” “It doesn’t matter how much I workout, I can’t lose weight.” “My doctor must think I’m eating pizzas in the closet.”

    With nearly 4 million Americans weighing in at over 300 pounds, is it any wonder the above cries are heard each and every day by countless frustrated people who can’t lose weight? One such cause for the ever increasing need to buy larger pants is a disease known as Syndrome X.

    Syndrome X is also referred to as Metabolic Syndrome, Metabolic Syndrome X and Insulin Resistance. It is a very common disease; however it is widely overlooked by ...

  • Can Motherhood Make You Smarter?
    Copyright 2005 Mary Desaulniers

    It was not too long ago that the I.Q. test was a routinely administered exercise in elementary and secondary schools. At that time (late seventies and early eighties), schools placed great faith in these magic numbers. Flag those above 125 and those below 90, teachers were told. And we did, dutifully assigning enrichment or remedial programs accordingly.

    Those were the years when we worked within a narrow understanding of the brain’s potential. Content dictated everything from test scores to curriculum because the model of the brain we worked from ...

  • Eating Disorders Do Not Discriminate

    Who suffers from Eating Disorders?

    Eating Disorder sufferers are male and female alike. We are of all ethnicity's, religions,and economic backgrounds. We are of all ages,with very different body structures. We can look normal on the outside and yet be suffering terribly on the inside.

    Genetics, Psychology, and Media all influence the onset of an eating disorder. Once we get caught in the cycle, some days it seems as though we will never break free. We constantly beat ourselves up, every moment of every hour of every day. If we could just be perfect in some way then we would be o ...

    Clinical Research Network Launches New Trial For Treatment Of Liver Disease
    The Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) Clinical Research Network is launching its first two clinical trials for the study of NASH, a liver disease that resembles alcoholic liver disease but occurs in patients who drink little or no alcohol.


    Tobacco use persists after liver transplant for alcoholic liver disease

    Predicting the outcome of drug-induced liver disease
    A study analyzes the most important factors leading to death or liver transplant in drug-induced liver diseaseDrug-induced liver disease (DILD), a potential complication seen with some medications, is usually not life-threatening, but may occasionally be more severe with a high mortality, requiring a liver transplant in selected cases... click link for more info.


    GENETIC POLYMORPHISMS IN XENOBIOTIC METABOLISM AS SUSCEPTIBILITY FACTORS FOR PARKINSON'S DISEASE (R827017)
    Parkinson's disease (PD) is suggested to be caused by exposure to exogenous and endogenous neurotoxicants in genetically susceptible individuals. Based on our preliminary findings in North Americans of European descent, we hypothesize that genetic defects of the enzymes cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) and glutathione S-transferase (GST) are important genetic susceptibility factors in PD. The primary objective of this study is to further investigate genetic defects of these enzymes that may increase the susceptibility to PD in a second ethnic group. To do this, we will take advantage of blood samples already performed in 15 Chinese research centers.


    Coffee and tea can reduce the risk of chronic liver disease
    A study published today in the American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) journal Gastroenterology found that people at high risk for liver injury may be able to reduce their risk for developing chronic liver disease significantly by drinking more than two cups of coffee or tea daily. This is the first study to take a prospective look at the relationship between coffee and tea consumption and chronic liver disease in the general U.S. population.


    Unexpected link between gene in liver and iron overload
    A new study in the December Cell Metabolism reveals an unexpected connection between a tumor suppressor gene in the liver and the normally careful control over the amount of iron absorbed from the diet. The surprising finding demonstrates a critical role for the liver in iron metabolism. The discovery also suggests a new avenue for the treatment of hereditary hemochromatosis, an iron-overload disease that is one of the most common genetic disorders among Caucasians, according to researchers.


    Risk factors for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease
    Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is highly prevalent, is not associated with suspected liver disease, but is associated with features of the metabolic syndrome, finds July's issue of Hepatology.


     
    		 
     


  • Secrets of The Mathematical Symmetry of Nature and Patterns of Erosion

    As scientists and theorists study patterns, design, chaos, complexity they often turn to nature for examples and there is plenty of examples in nature too. The stripes on a zebra, patterns on a butterfly, spider webs, leafs on a tree, scales on a fish, seashells, brain waves, muscle structure, texture of granite, spider webs, Earth cycles, waves on the ocean, wind flow, clouds in the sky, Rainbows, Solar System, structure of a meteorite and even DNA itself.

    One pattern of nature we often do not discuss is the patterns of erosion, which we can see better from an airplane, satellite pho ...

  • Garlic - Join Me And I´ll Show You Why Garlic Can Save Your Life

    Are you worried yet about your health? Are you anxious about your heart, or about the possibility of contracting cancer? If so, you are not alone, and your concerns are quite valid. Cancer and heart disease are today’s major killers, and as of now, we are yet to find a safe and effective drug, that can prevent these diseases. Some will argue that taking one or two aspirins a day can reduce the risk of heart disease, and it saddens me to see how many people are doing this, because I know the problems brought by aspirin over use, if these people knew about the long term damage caused by this ...

  • Do Low Carbohydrate Diets Lead to Weight Loss Success?
    So your neighbor, office mate, best friend, whoever just lost 10 pounds in only two weeks following the latest in high protein low carbohydrate diets. And now you’re thinking you should give it a go -- have even started the search for high protein low carbohydrate recipes?

    True, high protein low carb diets seem to be leading many people to weight loss success. Trouble is, they seemed to do it 30 years ago, too. They were the rage in the early 70s, and look where many of us are today: growing fatter with each decade.

    The bottom line: Diets -- low carb diets or not -- simply don’ ...
