Reusable grocery bags can have bacteria
In Today's Living, a word of warning for shoppers: reusable grocery bags may help save the environment, but are they making you sick? According to a new study out of the University of Arizona, they could be crawling with bacteria. The reusable grocery bag is popular among shoppers at the West Side Market in Cleveland, Ohio. Scott Ackerman, a shopper, says, "For us it's a practical reason and environmental." They're even sold at "Judy's Oasis" where 90 percent of her customers shoulder reusable bags. She says, "It's convenient they're easy I can put a lot of stuff in one bag how often do you clean them i never do I didn't know you were supposed to.. » read more
CF patients live longer, some diagnosed as adults
Doctors always said allergies and asthma were behind Laura Mentch's repeated lung and sinus infections. Only when she turned 50 did she discover the real culprit _ a disease notorious for destroying children's lungs. Mentch is part of the gradual graying of cystic fibrosis: More and more patients are surviving into adulthood, some even to middle age and beyond. Now, researchers are taking a close look at the first group to make it past age 40 with this incurable genetic disease, as a much-needed guide for patients and doctors on what to expect. And they're finding CF is even more complicated than thought.. » read more
Cancer cells killed by chemotherapy may cause cancer to spread
(NaturalNews) Chemotherapy is known to come with a long list of side effects -- from debilitating nausea and hair loss to extreme fatigue -- and in many cases, it does not cure or even stop cancer from progressing. But what if chemotherapy does something no one has realized before during all the decades it has been in use? What if chemo actually encourages cancer to spread throughout the body, the process known as metastasis? Researchers with the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) Comprehensive Cancer Center and UAB Department of Chemistry have just been awarded a $805,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Defense Breast Cancer Research Program to see if the answer to those questions is "yes". The study is investigating the very real possibility that dead cancer cells left over after chemotherapy spark cancer to spread to other parts of the body.. » read more
Childhood cancer survivors have 10 times greater risk of heart disease (because radiation damages the heart!)
(NaturalNews) Survivors of childhood cancers are nearly 10 times more likely to suffer from cardiovascular disease as adults than people who did not have cancer as children, according to a study conducted by researchers from Emory University and published in the journal Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention. Researchers remain unsure of the exact reason for the increased risk, but the effects of radiation therapy appear to play a significant role. "Mechanistically, we are not yet sure why this is, but the association is definitely there," said researcher Lillian R. Meacham. Using data from the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study, researchers compared data from 8,599 cancer survivors with data from 2,936 of their cancer-free siblings.. » read more
A Decade Later, Genetic Map Yields Few New Cures
Ten years after President Bill Clinton announced that the first draft of the human genome was complete, medicine has yet to see any large part of the promised benefits. For biologists, the genome has yielded one insightful surprise after another. But the primary goal of the $3 billion Human Genome Project — to ferret out the genetic roots of common diseases like cancer and Alzheimer’s and then generate treatments — remains largely elusive. Indeed, after 10 years of effort, geneticists are almost back to square one in knowing where to look for the roots of common disease. One sign of the genome’s limited use for medicine so far was a recent test of genetic predictions for heart disease.. » read more
Vast majority of people survive common thyroid cancer even without treatment
(NaturalNews) Mainstream medicine has reported in recent years that the incidence of papillary thyroid cancer -- the most common form of thyroid malignancy -- is growing at an alarming rate. In fact, the number of people diagnosed with this form of cancer, which typically arises as an irregular mass in an otherwise normal thyroid gland, has tripled over the past three decades. But a new study by Dartmouth Medical School researchers has come up with good news about this so-called "epidemic". First of all, the cases of papillary thyroid cancer have most likely only appeared to increase -- simply because of the huge surge in the use of ultrasound tests and biopsies. And it turns out the vast majority of people with this cancer survive it just fine, even if they receive no treatment at all.. » read more
Making the World Safe for Cancer
When it comes to increasing cancer rates, we’ve done everything right. We couldn’t have done it better if we’d actually planned it. That’s the takeaway from the President’s Cancer Panel. Legislatively mandated back in 1971, this prestigious panel just issued its 2009 report. Reading it is an eye-opening experience.. » read more

Buckets for the Cure challenged on the street by Jonathan Landsman
(NaturalNews) The host of the NaturalNews Talk Hour, Jonathan Landsman, recently hit the streets of New York to ask people what they thought about the idea of buckets of fried chicken curing cancer. This is in response to the recent alliance announcement between Komen for the Cure and Kentucky Fried Chicken, where pink buckets of chicken are now being touted as a way to "end breast cancer forever." I recently wrote about the fraudulent marketing behind this Komen for the Cure sham. Read the full details here: http://www.naturalnews.. » read more
