Woman ‘Incurably’ Crippled by Vaccine Cured by Alternative Healer
Issue 47, Nov. 23, 2009 In late August, Desiree Jennings was a beautiful and athletic 26-year-old Washington Redskins cheerleader anxious for the upcoming Sunday excitement, but by the time the new season began in September, she was a crippled and hopeless spastic who could speak only with great difficulty and one syllable at a time. She had taken a seasonal flu shot and experienced what doctors called a “one-in-a-million” adverse neurological reaction and was left with an “incurable” affliction known as dystonia. Dystonia can affect just one muscle, a group of muscles or all of the muscles. Symptoms can include tremors and voice problems or a dragging foot.. » read more
Walnut-Rich Diet Boosts Heart-Health in Diabetics
November 2009 A new study from Yale finds that daily consumption of walnuts, rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, may improve the health of blood vessels, thereby decreasing the risk of heart disease. Supplementing the diet of middle-aged diabetics with 56 grams of walnuts led to significant improvements in the function of the blood vessel lining (endothelium), and there was also a trend toward improved cholesterol levels, according to findings published in Diabetes Care. The study adds to a growing body of science supporting the health benefits, and the heart benefits in particular, of increased consumption of nuts. Previous studies have reported benefits for almonds, macadamia nuts and pistachios. Indeed, a recent study funded by the California Walnut Commission found that the fatty acids present in walnuts and fish oil may work in different ways to reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.. » read more
Oral Cancer Protection Seen in Green Tea Extracts
November 2009 Extracts from green tea may prevent the formation of mouth cancers in people with risk signs of the disease, according to a new study. Over 50% of participants in the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center study experienced a clinical response to the green tea extracts, according to findings published in Cancer Prevention Research. "While still very early, and not definitive proof that green tea is an effective preventive agent, these results certainly encourage more study for patients at highest risk for oral cancer," lead researcher Vassiliki Papadimitrakopoulou, M.. » read more
Bilberries May Prevent Hardening of Arteries
November 2009 Extracts from bilberry may prevent the build-up of plaques in the arteries, preventing hardening of the blood vessels and boosting overall heart health, according to a new study from France. Researchers led by Aurelie Mauray from France's Institut National de la Research Agronomique used apolipoprotein-E-deficient mice, putting the animals at an increased risk of heart disease. Apolipoprotein-E (Apo-E) is essential for the normal breakdown of triglyceride-rich lipoprotein constituents. Mauray and her co-workers divided the mice into three groups. All groups were fed the standard control diet, but two groups received one of two bilberry extracts: one rich in anthocyanins extracted from untreated bilberries and a second one extracted from yeast-fermented bilberries at a level of 0.. » read more

Soy Isoflavones May Help Slow Bone Loss for Postmenopausal Women
November 2009 A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition proposes that supplementation with soy germ-derived isoflavones may reduce bone loss in postmenopausal women. More than 400 postmenopausal women participated in the multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, which used either 80 mg or 120 mg of soy hypocotyl aglycone isoflavones (SoyLife), plus calcium (400 mg) and vitamin D (400 IU). Only the 120 mg per day dose produced benefits, with significantly reduced loss of whole body bone mineral density (BMD) after both one and two years. "The attenuated whole body bone mineral density in healthy postmenopausal women for two years probably translates to minimal clinical benefits; yet the long-term significance, particularly with regard to fracture prevention, remains to be determined," wrote the researchers, led by William Wong from the USDA/ARS Children's Nutrition Research Center at the Baylor College of Medicine in Texas. Wong and his co-workers recruited 403 postmenopausal women aged between 40 and 50 to participate in the study.. » read more
Pomegranate’s Prostate Protection Potential Grows
November 2009 The anti-prostate cancer effects of pomegranate and its extracts may be related to stopping an enzyme in the liver that processes environmental carcinogens, according to a new study. Pomegranate, a rich source of antioxidants, has been linked to improved heart health, but a growing body of evidence indicates the fruit also protects against prostate cancer. Studies have also reported a role for pomegranate in joint health by slowing cartilage loss in arthritis. It is the antioxidants and ellagitannin compounds like punicalagins and punicalins, which account for about half of the fruit’s antioxidant ability, that are reportedly behind the proposed health benefits. The new study, led by Daneel Farreira from the University of Mississippi, deepens our understanding of how the constituents of the fruit may boost prostate health.. » read more
