Heal yourself in 15 days by fasting for 24 hours (part six)

(NaturalNews) Continuing our 15-part article series called Heal Yourself in 15 Days, today we focus on not doing something. In particular, I'm talking about not eating for 24 hours. It sounds simple in theory, of course: Refrain from eating anything (or drinking any beverages other than water) for 24 hours. Your body has plenty of calories stored to carry you through those 24 hours, and the pause from digestion will give your body a chance to focus its healing energies on other parts of your body. Note: Be sure to check with your naturopathic physician about the safety of fasting.. » read more

Slash Bladder Cancer Chances with Vitamins and Minerals

February 2010 The risk of developing bladder cancer may be cut by about 35% with an increased intake of vitamin E, says a new study from an international team of researchers. Findings published in Cancer Causes and Control also showed that carotenoids, niacin, thiamin and vitamin D may reduce the risk of bladder cancer in older people. "The effects of vitamin E, carotenoids, vitamin D, thiamin and niacin in relation to the risk of developing bladder cancer may warrant further investigation," reported the researchers, led by Maree Brinkman from The Cancer Council Victoria in Australia. "Future studies should focus on optimal doses and combinations of these micronutrients particularly for high risk groups such as heavy smokers and older individuals," they stated. Bladder cancer is diagnosed in about 336,000 people every year worldwide, and it is three times more likely to affect men than women, according to the European School of Oncology.. » read more

Omega-3 Fatty Acids Linked to Younger Biological Age

February 2010 A new study suggests high blood levels of omega-3 fatty acids may slow cellular aging in people with coronary heart disease. Researchers from the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), looked at the length of telomeres – DNA sequences at the end of chromosomes that shorten as cells replicate and age. The aging and lifespan of normal, healthy cells are linked to the telomere shortening mechanism, which limits cells to a fixed number of divisions. Some experts have noted that telomere length may be a marker of biological aging. With each replication the telomeres shorten, and when the telomeres are totally consumed, the cells are destroyed.. » read more

Vitamin D May Cut Risk of Colorectal Cancer by 40%

February 2010 Increased blood levels of vitamin D could reduce the risk of colorectal cancer by as much as 40%, according to a new study with people from ten European countries. The study, published in the British Medical Journal, is said to be the largest of its kind to date and adds to the science supporting the apparent health benefits from increased vitamin D. Indeed, a meta-analysis published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine in 2007 reported that higher blood levels of vitamin D were associated with a lower risk of colon cancer. "However," researchers wrote in the new study, "before any public health recommendations can be made for vitamin D supplementation, new randomized trials are needed to test the hypothesis that increases in circulating 25-(OH)D concentration are effective in reducing colorectal cancer risk without inducing serious adverse events." Using data from over half a million participants in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer Study (EPIC), the researchers analyzed dietary and lifestyle information obtained from questionnaires, and collected blood samples.. » read more

Green Tea Extracts Halt Growth of Prostate Cancer Tumors

(NaturalNews) An extract made from one of the main antioxidants found in green tea may be able to slow the progression of prostate cancer, according to a study conducted by researchers from Louisiana state University and published in Cancer Prevention Research, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research. Researchers gave 26 prostate cancer patients between the ages of 41 and 68's four capsules of day of Polyphenon E, an extract of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) made by Polyphenon Pharma. EGCG is a powerful antioxidant to which many of the health benefits of green tea have been attributed. The dosage given to the participants in the study was equivalent to that acquired from drinking 12 cups of green tea per day. After 12 weeks, the researchers found that levels of the prostate cancer markers Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and prostate specific antigen (PSA) had fallen by an average of 18.. » read more
