About 450 people in the United States have been infected with the Zika virus, the White House’s top health official told The Hill on Thursday. The figure, which includes Puerto Rico and the continental U.S., shows an increase of about 90 cases from the department’s latest Zika report about one week ago. The Centers for […]
A new experimental treatment has achieved what chemotherapy and bone marrow transplants have failed to do: put chronic, relapsing blood cancers into remission. What’s more, it uses the body’s own natural defense system to attack these cancerous growths. The treatment involves T cells, a type of immune cell that works as your body’s own personal S.W.A.T. […]
By FIONA MACRAE, SCIENCE EDITOR A cure for Type 1 diabetes is a step closer after scientists managed to halt the condition for at least six months thanks to insulin-producing cells. Experts from US hospitals and institutions including Harvard University managed to transplant cells into mice, which immediately began producing insulin. The team was also […]
(NaturalHealth365) Something that many people look forward to, in the morning, is a cup of fresh brewed coffee to boost energy. While studies have shown this popular beverage to be beneficial for health in many ways, contradictory information has arisen throughout the years about the negative effects of caffeine on the body.

First realize that even without being diagnosed with cancer, we all have at least a few cancerous cells floating around in our “inner terrain”. A decent immune system residing in a slightly alkaline or neutral pH inner terrain is able to fend them off and keep them from colonizing into tumorous masses. On the other […]

A new study of marijuana drug use in Colorado found increases in marijuana-related traffic deaths, hospital visits, school suspensions, lab explosions, and pet poisonings. The study was conducted by a federal government program. The 166-page report released this month analyzed the effects of legalizing marijuana for medical and recreational use in Colorado spanning the time […]
The “seeds” of Alzheimer’s disease may be transmitted from one person to another during certain medical procedures, scientists have found. A study into people who died of a separate kind of brain disease after receiving injections of human growth hormone suggests that Alzheimer’s may also be a transmissible disease. The findings have raised questions about […]
Cancer cells have been programmed back to normal by scientists in a breakthrough which could lead to new treatments and even reverse tumour growth. For the first time aggressive breast, lung and bladder cancer cells have been turned back into harmless benign cells by restoring the function which prevents them from multiplying excessively and forming […]
BY MEREDITH ENGEL The scientists were right — your cell phone can give you cancer. There have long been whispers of a cancer connection from your cell — and a new study backs up the claims. “These data are a clear sign of the real risks this kind of radiation poses for human health,” study […]
