CNN Helps Autism Debacle Blow Up in Government’s Face

On April 2, 2008 CNN spent the day bringing awareness to the problem of autism. Larry King’s segment, which included Jenny McCarthy along with a panel of guests, was particularly enlightening. My hat is off to Jenny, a celebrity mother who is making it quite uncomfortable for the Center for Disease Control (CDC) to ignore parents of autistic children seeking answers. Why does a mom have to do the work of the CDC? The answer is rather simple: our government’s zeal to insist on too many vaccines while ignoring the actual risks is the driving force behind the autism tragedy.

Cell Phone Cover-Up – Is Your Brain at Risk?

The latest stone thrown at the 200-billion-dollar-a-year cell phone industry came from a study by neurosurgeon Vini G. Khurana entitled Mobile Phone-Brain Tumour: Public Health Advisory. His meta-analysis of existing cell phone studies may not contain a lot of new information; but his rather alarming message was carried by media around the world: “there is a growing body of statistically significant evidence for a relationship between the overall length of use of a mobile phone and the delayed occurrence of a brain tumor on the same side of the head as the ‘preferred side’ for mobile phone usage.” He claimed a 2-4 fold increased risk following 10 years of regular use.

Western Medicine Fails Tim Russert

The shocking death of Tim Russert last Friday has left an entire nation wondering what happened. He was a model patient, doing everything his doctors asked. All major media have run articles trying to explain the nuances and difficulties in treating coronary artery disease. These articles find little fault in Russert’s care, trying to create the idea that his heart attack was just too hard to predict and that all that could have been done for him was done. I beg to differ. His death represents the failure of standard medical care to produce a positive result – an occurrence that is all too common in today’s world.

Steve Jobs’ Wasting-Away Health Problem

Yesterday Steve Jobs floated a description of his personal health problems into the public; calling them “a hormone imbalance that has been ‘robbing’ me of the proteins my body needs to be healthy. Sophisticated blood tests have confirmed this diagnosis. The remedy for this nutritional problem is relatively simple and straightforward, and I've already begun treatment.” His press release describing his health issue was timed to quell market concern...

Regional Pain and a Lack of Vitamin K

Injuries, including fractures, can fail to heal properly in individuals lacking vitamin K. This can set off a chain reaction of inflammatory events in a region of your body, leading to deteriorated physical structure and ongoing pain.

Human Study Proves Resveratrol Lowers Inflammatory Gene Signaling

A common dietary supplement form of resveratrol, taken at the relatively low dose of 40 mg per day for 6 weeks, could turn down the primary inflammatory gene signal known as NF-kappaB and consequently lower key markers of inflammation such as TNFa, IL6, and C-reactive protein. Since the inflammatory problem is underlying the deteriorating health of just about anyone, including the process of accelerated aging, this human study data is very significant.

Linking Your Brain, Inflammation, Social Stress and Disease Risk

The impact of social connectedness on health is becoming an intriguing area of research far more important than previously thought. I recently reported the astounding 50% risk reduction in mortality when individuals are socially connected. Two new studies lend even more insight into the importance of this issue.

How DHA Helps Inflammation and Diabetes

Macrophages accumulate in excess in extra pounds of body fat. Once there they generate excess amounts of inflammation that not only causes insulin resistance that leads to type 2 diabetes but also adds to the overall inflammatory burden of the entire body making a person more at risk for any disease of aging. A new study proves the molecular mechanism by which DHA turns off macrophage inflammation within white adipose tissue.

Inflammation in Young Men Linked to Low Intelligence and Risk of Early Death

There are many theories of aging – most of which reflect a valid point explaining what might go wrong with the human body as it ages. Many of these accelerated aging principles start early in life. A new study by Swedish researchers evaluating almost four decades of human data reinforces the emerging paradigm of aging that says chronic low-grade inflammation over the course of a lifetime is not healthy.
