New research suggests lethal diseases could be transmitted through contaminated human and medical material

Donated blood and contaminated surgical instruments are now feared to be transmitters of Alzheimer's disease, scientists have said after studying brains during an autopsy of patients who had been treated with human growth hormone extracted from cadavers.

An autopsy of people who had been treated with human growth hormone (HGH) as children has revealed that their brains had a pathology that is vastly associated with Alzheimer's disease, according to scientists at University College London (UCL). Their research casts doubt on previous beliefs and could mean that lethal disease could be transmitted through contaminated human and medical material.

The discovery, outlined in a study published in the journal Nature, was made during research of a different neurological disorder - Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD). CJD is known to be transmitted via surgery, blood and hormone treatment, and it is now believed that the same could be true for Alzheimer's.

As the fall approaches we must now focus on some of the things now available to you as wildcrafters and herbal "gatherers" that previously may have been difficult to find. This article entails some facts about medicinal mushrooms and is provided for informational purposes only. The information provided is not meant to, nor does it diagnose, treat, prescribe, cure, or recommend any actions for any disease or illness. Only a licensed physician may do such things; prior to taking any actions pertaining to this article, seek the approval of your licensed family physician.

Mushrooms are greatly available in the wilds toward the end of summer and the beginning of the fall. Mushrooms have many components in their makeup that can be used effectively against many types of diseases. There is one important thing to stress, however, before you go out and begin your attempts to gather mushrooms from your locality:

Mushrooms can be deadly poisonous, and you must be able to identify them 100% with no guesswork prior to utilizing them!

Researchers identify enzyme that helps train the immune system

The hygiene hypothesis holds that, when babies' exposure to germs is so limited, their immune systems are deprived of the opportunity to learn how to fend off pathogens properly...consequently their immune systems become so sensitive that the babies develop allergies. But the protective effects of friendly microbes seem to depend equally on a person's genetic make-up.

Young children who share their home with dogs or cats in the first year of life are half as likely to become allergic to those animals than kids who grew up with no pets.

Previous studies have suggested that children born during tree pollen season may develop a tolerance for pollen, thus reducing their risk for acquiring pollen allergy later in life. Scientists believe the same type of 'de-sensitizing' mechanism may be at work in infants exposed to pets in the home.

Amy Thomson has since come out of the coma and her family, according to the Daily Record, posted a video of her thanking everyone for their support.

The above picture was Thomson before and after taking the drug, identified as MDMA.

Environmental Health Journal: Even super low levels of Roundup exposure are deadly

Liver and kidney damage due to a diet full of genetically modified food has already been shown in a notable, yet controversial study that was once forced to be retracted, and then later republished by the Journal of Food and Chemical Toxicology. This study, titled the "Long Term Toxicity of Roundup Herbicide and a Roundup-Tolerant Genetically Modified Maize" is joined now by a new, peer-reviewed study showing that even at the levels of glyphosate the general public is exposed to in drinking water, over 4000 genes and their proper functioning are altered in the livers and kidneys of rats.

Comment: How many more studies have to be released before people to wake up to the madness of 'biotech science'! Daily, research journals are publishing frightening information about the dangers of genetically mutated crops! Just a few examples: Low-dose glyphosate concentrations, 'altering genes', increased incidence of blood/urine biochemical changes, hormonal interference, herbicides inside our intestines and general 'overall toxicity' from an industry that seeks nothing more than profits!

Managing anxiety without drugs

As a holistic psychiatrist practicing in New York City, I see a lot of anxiety. A lot. And I'm disheartened to see so many of my patients on loads of psychiatric medications that are not necessarily helping and may even be causing harm. Meanwhile, these highly medicated folks are still suffering from anxiety! This is because we're going about it all wrong. Anxiety is not a Xanax-deficiency disorder. The mind, body and spirit are all involved in anxiety, but I think anxiety is first and foremost a physiologic disorder; that is, it's a disorder of the body, not just the mind. The good news is that shifting our body's physiology is relatively easy to do. There is so much we can do with diet and lifestyle to manage anxiety, and much of it is safer and more effective than medication.

Childhood is not a 'mental disorder': Widespread prescribing of antipsychotic drugs sparks serious health problems

Antipsychotic drugs are being prescribed to an ever-increasing number of adolescents and young adults, and many of them are being prescribed for off-label purposes. But these over-prescriptions are putting youngsters at risk, though we're slow as a society to change our med-heavy ways.

These powerful medications are being prescribed to young people with attention-deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), a condition the drugs are not approved to treat.

According to researchers from Columbia University in New York, the percentage of teens using antipsychotics rose from 1.10% in 2006 to 1.19% in 2010. Among young adults aged 19 to 24, the percentage rose from 0.69% to 0.84%. [1]

Acne and its link to sugar, dairy products, and bad fats - "Skin diabetes"

Acne is clearly associated with diet. Strongly linked to acne is a diet high in refined carbohydrates, dairy, and the wrong type of fats. In Westernized societies, acne is a nearly universal skin disease afflicting 79% to 95% of teenagers. In men and women older than 25 years, 40% to 54% still have some degree of facial acne. In contrast, acne is extremely rare in societies consuming healthful traditional diets.

Despite the now overwhelming scientific evidence linking diet and acne, many dermatologists still cling to the myth that diet has no impact on acne. They are wrong. It is now time for these doctors to apply the knowledge of nutrition with their patients by stressing the avoidance of the offending foods, especially refined carbohydrates.
