Obesity - who's responsibility?

Obesity claims 30,000 lives a year costing the NHS 500million pounds a year, this is causing a rapid increase in health problems such as heart disease and diabetes. Junk food advertising is largely to blame for this problem targeting adverts around family viewing time slowly indoctrinating our nations diet.
Ant and Dec’s Saturday night take away series started – and each advert stresses it is sponsored by Bird’s Eye -advertising chicken dippers – a high fat/salt convenience food made with processed chicken. This does not promote a healthy eating product at peak family viewing time.
Turning the tide of this potential epidemic is ultimately the responsibility of the individual as each of us chooses what goes into our daily diet.

Homeopathy worked for me

If you have ever had homeopathic treatment and it has worked for you, how about supporting this campaign to raise public awareness of this amazing complementary therapy.

NHS Drug Bill

.
According to a news source more must be done to curb NHS spending on prescription drugs. The commons public account committee want GPs to steer away from branded drugs since they are too expensive, prescription drugs spending has almost doubled in the last ten years
The pharmaceutical industry claims new medicines are under used by the NHS,
not over prescribed, though any profit making industry would say this. With cancer
rates rising at the same rate as allopathic medicines it looks to be another profitable year for the pharmaceutical industry.

Budget cutting, Thank you Sir David

Urgent Action Required -
Threatened withdrawal of services from the
Royal London Homeopathic Hospital (RLHH)

We have heard with dismay that Camden Primary Care Trust (PCT), the body which funds your care at the RLHH is planning the almost immediate cancellation of the contract with the hospital for both current and new patients.

Many of us, as patients here, feel strongly that we must try to change this decision and so many of us will suffer if the services of this wonderful hospital are denied us.

This letter was written by patients under going Alternative treatment at the Royal London Homeopathic Hospital.

Silenced voices? for us or for budget

An article written and published in December 2000 by The Prince of Wales stated that alternative medicines needs and deserved more research.
The fact that more people in the United Kingdom are turning to complementary and alternative medicine.A BBC poll showed that one in five of us opts at some time for some kind of non-conventional therapy, this prompted an investigation into its use by the House of Lords.

Seven years later and there seems to be progress?With a clinical trial on Acupuncture and its affects on breast cancer, being researched at Manchester university in evolving a hundred woman.But why so little so late, could it be the fact that pharmaceutical companies have a big say in the state of our health service i.e cost of chemo for private health.

complementary medicines aren't there to suppress emotion or feeling but to help the patient find equal balance within themselves. This can take time but once you found some ones true remedy picture you can help them for life.

We can not just blame the pharmaceutical industry,but does it really have our best interests at heart in the end a place selling a product is still a business.We have to look at this debate like this, are we in this to heal or simply make money, What's the point of researching new drugs and treatments if they are unaffordable and inaccessible by the NHS.

Citrus peel prevents against skin cancer?

Drinking hot tea with citrus peel could protect the body against skin cancer, US scientists say.

The researchers studied 450 people, half of whom had suffered a particular type of skin cancer, and quizzed them about their tea-drinking habits.

They found that those who developed skin cancer drank significantly less hot tea.

Citrus peel in the tea was found to have more than a 70% reduced risk for skin squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), whereas black tea alone meant a 40% reduction.

Researchers Iman Hakim and Robin Harris, of the University of Arizona, hope the study will help them develop food supplements to help prevent skin cancer.

Cancer charities have welcomed the research but want further studies. Citrus peel

Tangerine peel 'kills cancer'

A compound extracted from tangerine peel can kill certain human cancer cells, research shows.

Leicester School of Pharmacy found Salvestrol Q40 was turned into a toxic compound in cancer cells, destroying them.

Salvestrol Q40 is found at higher concentrations in tangerine peel, than beneath the peel of the fruit.

The researchers suggest the modern trend to throw away peel may have contributed to a rise in some cancers.

Lead researcher Dr Hoon Tan said his work was still at an early stage, but together with his colleagues he has formed a company to investigate further the potential to develop natural anti-cancer therapies.

He said: "It is very exciting to find a compound in food that can target cancers specifically."

Tangerine peel "killsCancer"

Is what we eat affecting our health?, a report today indicates that this is the case, and not more than a few grams of red meat a day can increase your chances of colon and bowel related cancer by twenty percent.

Colon Cancer has over 50% Fatality Rate

There are a staggering 363,000 new case of colorectal cancer every year, with an estimated 945,000 globally. More sobering is the fact that 492,000 deaths occur from this cancer each year, over 50% fatality rate.

But just last week, some giant news surfaced that revealed that humble Green Tea can stop colon cancer in its tracks.

The study, published in the journal “Carcinogenesis” just last week, came to the conclusion that we now have a means of treating and preventing colon cancer with staggering success potential.

Dr. Ala Issa from the University of South Carolina, who headed the research study said,

“Our results suggest that Green Tea specifically targets initial stages of colon carcinogenesis; the time of administration of green tea is pivotal for effective chemoprevention.”

Accupunture supports 60% of Cancer Sufferers in this Country

SCIENTISTS in Manchester are seeing if acupuncture could help beat the draining symptoms of breast cancer treatment.

Previous studies have already suggested the ancient Chinese art, which uses pins inserted at points around the body, may relieve the nausea caused by chemotherapy and even some sorts of pain. And it is estimated that as many as 60 per cent of cancer patients already use some form of complementary therapy alongside more traditional treatments.

The source of this information is from the Manchester evening news. When I read that over half the countrys cancer sufferers are using acupuncture as a way of releaving pain, though there are many people that are not given this oportunity. I hope that when this study shows that acupunture is affective then more peole can feel the benefits of this tremendous therapy.

Can 8.2 million people be wrong?

It's a mystery and a miracle: An acupuncture needle inserted in the pinkie toe changes a breech baby's position in the womb. How is this possible?
Ever since the 1970s, when this ancient Chinese tradition debuted in the U.S., Western researchers have sought to understand the phenomenon of acupuncture.

But the American public hasn't waited for the scientific answers. Growing numbers have sought out acupuncturists for chronic health problems -- when conventional medicine either hasn't worked nor has answers. According to the 2002 National Health Interview Survey, an estimated 8.2 million American adults have used acupuncture -- an impressive number considering only an estimated 2.1 million American adults had used acupuncture in the year before.

This astonishing fact can be proved by the many articles Jeanie Lerche Davis has written. Jeanie has devoted many years of her life writing about the truth and fact behind the world of Alternative therapies.
