Can probiotics replace the flu shot?
We now know the real reason why children hospitalized with swine flu have been at risk for dying. It is not because of the swine flu virus itself! Most of them contracted methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections that they passively harbored in their nasal passages before contracting the swine flu. While swine flu itself can cause death, it is far less common than when MRSA is present; about eight times less common! Most children with MRSA pneumonias have been carriers of MRSA; ...

Resistant Microbes Found in Half of Infected Patient Rooms
Multidrug resistant microbes such as acinetobacker baumannii, MRSA, C. diff, and vancomycin resistant enterococcus are found in 50% of infected patients rooms up to 2 months later! Patients with weakened immunity are especially vulnerable. These microbes are found on places that include supply cart handles, floors, infusion pumps, ventilator touch pads, bed rails, and much more.
There is much that can be done to prevent the 1.9 million hospital acquired infections and about 100,000 deaths from ... November 07 2011 at 9:46 am

Can Red Wine Burn Belly Fat And Help Diabetes?
It has long been thought that drinking red wine, in moderation, is "heart healthy." Now, researchers at the University of Alberta have discovered the powerful antioxidant Resveratrol, found in red wine, may also prevent diabetes by reducing abdominal fat accumulation (i.e., the dreaded "spare tire" or "apple on a stick" body shape). According to an article in the Toronto Sun... "Although this is an early-phase research discovery, if it holds true in humans, there might be a way to prevent ... November 01 2011 at 7:43 pm

Treating Cancer Integratively
There are more than enough cancer patients in need of treatment, but there aren't anywhere near enough treatments that get the job done! Half a billion US citizens lose their life to cancer every year. Medical doctors and CAM practitioners should be working together to pool resources and bring as many options for treatment as possible to the table as consideration for treatment. It is the moral and scientific responsibility of every health care practitioner who treats cancer to have, or have access ...

Vitamin D Deficiency
There is a pandemic of vitamin D deficiency because we don't get the UVB rays from sunlight that are needed to make it ourselves. This leads to not only an increased risk of osteoporosis but also of type 2 diabetes, hypertension, several cancers, heart attacks, strokes, and seasonal affective disorder. Vitamin D replacement is necessary for most people.

Chiropractic: Chiropractic First For Back Pain.
"For patients with low back pain in whom manipulation is not contraindicated, chiropractic almost certainly confers worthwhile, long-term benefits in comparison with hospital outpatient management."

Exercise: High Blood Pressure In Young People?
20% of young American adults may have high blood pressure. People with high blood pressure have a much higher risk of stroke and heart disease, the leading cause of death among adults in the US. It is also a condition that often shows no signs or symptoms, and many otherwise healthy people who have it first find out when a health professional measures their blood pressure. The findings are significant because they indicate many young adults are at risk of developing heart disease, but are unaware ... August 22 2011 at 8:24 pm

Diet: Olive Oil!
Consuming olive oil may help prevent strokes in older people. After considering diet, physical activity, body mass index and other risk factors for stroke, the study found those who regularly used olive oil for both cooking and as a salad dressing had a 41 percent lower risk of stroke. Olive oil has been associated with protective effects against many cardiovascular risk factors such as diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and obesity.

Health Alert: Social Factors And Death.
Social factors can be linked to death as readily as can patho-physiological and behavioral causes. These social factors contribute substantially to the burden of disease in the US: education, poverty, health insurance status, employment status and job stress, social support, racism or discrimination, housing conditions and early childhood stressors. Area-level social factors included area-level poverty, income inequality, deteriorating infrastructure, crime and violence, social capital and availability ... August 22 2011 at 8:23 pm

High Dose Zinc Lozenges and Colds
High-dose, but not low dose, zinc lozenges shorten the duration of the common cold. Daily doses greater than 75 mg showed a 42% reduction in duration of colds. The forms of zinc working the best are acetate and glycinate. Zinc acts as an antifhinoviral agent, inducer of interferon (prevents viruses from entering cells), and immune booster.

Congress to Relax FDA Rules on Drug Conflicts of Interest
Congress is considering relaxing FDA rules on drug conflicts of interest. The FDA has taken the position that it is very difficult to recruit highly qualified people onto committees that determine whether or not a drug will be approved by the FDA. They say that 23% of FDA Advisory Panels have vacancies and that people who are the most knowledgeable should be included on these regulatory panels regardless of their conflicts of interest. Fees from drugmakers and medical devices provide more than one ...

Wellness/Prevention: Smoking Raises Risk.
Smokers had a higher risk of dying from prostate cancer, cardiovascular disease, cancer-recurrence, or from any cause compared to lifetime non-smokers. The longer the patient smoked, the higher his risk of dying from prostate cancer or cardiovascular disease. Men who had given up smoking for ten years had similar prostate cancer mortality risks as lifetime non-smokers. Journal of the American Medical Association, May 2011 August 15 2011 at 11:33 am

Chiropractic: Simple Analogy.
Spinal problems are like a cavity in your tooth: 1. They occur slowly over time. 2. Typically, they are without symptoms for some time. 3. They continue to progress. 4. They don't go away on their own. 5. They eventually cause pain. 6. They can lead to more significant problems. August 15 2011 at 11:33 am

Exercise: Muscle Up.
How important is it to exercise your muscles? The human body has over 600 muscles accounting for 40% of the body's weight. When exercised regularly, muscles are your primary mechanism of maintaining your metabolism, thus burning fat. Maintaining the flexibility of your joints and surrounding soft tissues allows muscles to function at their highest level. Gray's Anatomy August 15 2011 at 11:32 am

Diet: Big Time Snacking.
Snacking continues to increase among Americans, accounting for 25% of daily caloric intake. The average person "snacks" an extra 580 calories each day. Between 2006 and 2008, time spent eating primary meals - breakfast, lunch and dinner - remained consistent at 70 minutes. However, secondary eating doubled from 15 minutes each day in 2006 to nearly 30 minutes in 2008, and secondary drinking jumped nearly 90% from 45-85 minutes. Beverages account for 50% the calories consumed through snacking. Most ... August 15 2011 at 11:32 am

The Importance of Sleep
Sleep is critical for quality and length of sleep. Most Americans are sleep deprived because we're living in the "fast track." There are profound effects that can lead to osteoporosis, hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, stroke, cancer and accidents.
Adequate sleep is absolutely essential for good health and we all need between 7-8 hours every night. Lack of sleep leads to a state of inflammation and high levels of stress hormones that lead to a wide range of diseases that include type 2 diabetes, ... August 10 2011 at 7:01 pm

The Role of Stress in Our Lives
Stress needs to be balanced; we need just the right amount or there is trouble. There is always a certain sense of chaos in our lives as human beings. Trust is necessary to have a live with reasonable quality. Life's lessons are opportunity for growth and development. The National Institutes of Health has shown that over 70% of all disease is caused by stress. Simple exercises such as tai chi and Qigong have been proven to help manage stress and empower the individual.

Uncertainty Causes Anxiety
When you don't know the outcome of a medical test, the uncertainty of not knowing can be more stressful and anxiety provoking than the worst possible outcome. Our minds tend to worry and we need to learn to "worry well." Chronic stress suppresses immunity and sets the stage for further inflammation and progression of whatever disease one may have. MDs tend to detach from their patients so they can remain objective. However, patients need more than good science; they need compassion and support from ...

Holistic Nutrition
Nutrition is important in itself, but it needs to be applied to the whole person to meet them where they are. There is a lot of conflict in the "right" diet. Starting with how people relate to food is often complicated but very necessary. Nutrition is about healing through food. Local, seasonal, organic food is important but who you eat with and how you feel when you eat is important in assimilation.
