Why omega-3 oils help at the cellular level

For the first time, researchers at the University of California, San Diego have peered inside a living mouse cell and mapped the processes that power the celebrated health benefits of omega-3 fatty acids. More profoundly, they say their findings suggest it may be possible to manipulate these processes to short-circuit inflammation before it begins, or at least help to resolve inflammation before it becomes detrimental.

The work is published in the May 14, 2012 online Early Edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

The therapeutic benefits of omega-3 fatty acids, which are abundant in certain fish oils, have long been known, dating back to at least the 1950s, when cod liver oil was found to be effective in treating ailments like eczema and arthritis. In the 1980s, scientists reported that Eskimos eating a fish-rich diet enjoyed better coronary health than counterparts consuming mainland foods.

The threat of radiation is constant and growing; too much radiation from medical testing and other sources is increasingly becoming a concern for many individuals around the world.

The average child will receive more than seven radiation emitting scans for medical procedure by age 18, not to mention all of the background radiation emitted from cell phones, as well as other various electronic devices.

With the advent of the TSA body scanners, using deadly terahertz radiation only adds to the controversy. An array of DNA destroying and cancer causing devices pervade our natural lives.

A recent study conducted using THz radiation found that the radiation's effects on genetic material are so devastating that they can actually destroy it. THz radiation effectively unzips the double helix strands, creating anomalies that would be detrimental to gene expression and replication.

The report concludes by saying that TSA scanners are not only a gross invasion of privacy, but are also producing long term effects on human health that ultimately shorten the lifespan of those who are unfortunate enough to be affected by them.

Fukushima Radiation Release Worse than You Have Been Told, Large Doses of Vitamin C Important

People have been misinformed about the tragedy at Fukushima and its consequences. There is a continuing cover up, the reactors have not been stabilized, and radiation continues to be released. The Japanese College of Intravenous Therapy (JCIT) has recently released a video for people wishing to learn more about how to protect themselves from contamination by taking large doses of vitamin C

Low-level cadmium exposure can increase female cancer risk.

Hossain, MB, M Vahter, G Concha and K Broberg, 2012. Low-level environmental cadmium exposure is associated with DNA hypomethylation in Argentinean women. Environmental Health Perspectives.

Women exposed to low levels of cadmium in their food have changes in DNA markers that alter gene regulation and increase their cancer risk. This study for the first time suggests that cadmium may be turning genes on or off in a way that triggers disease.

A recent study suggests a new understanding of the way long-term cadmium exposure from a women's diet can increase her risk for cancer.

Cadmium levels in the blood of women from Argentina were linked to changes in how the DNA in cells is tagged or marked by a methyl group, a process that can alter the way the genes are read and expressed. The decreased number of DNA markers associated with cadmium exposures in the women resemble genes commonly found in cancer cells and not normal cells.

While cadmium is long associated with higher cancer risk and some illnesses, how it exerts its effects is still not clear. Lab studies indicate cadmium can alter DNA tags, or DNA methylation. This study is important because it is the first to report this type of epigenetic effect of cadmium exposure in people. It offers a possible mechanism for the metal's link to cancer.

Poisoned by greed. Fracking causing serious illness in Pennsylvania

Kay Allen had just started work, and everything seemed quiet at the Cornerstone Care community health clinic in Burgettstown, Pa. But things didn't stay quiet for long.

"All the girls, they were yelling at me in the back, 'You gotta come out here quick. You gotta come out here quick,' " said Allen, 59, a nurse from Weirton, W.Va.

Allen rushed out front and knew right away what all the yelling was about. The whole place reeked - like someone had spilled a giant bottle of nail polish remover.

"I told everybody to get outside and get fresh air. So we went outside. And Aggie said, 'Kay, I'm going to be sick.' But before I get in, to get something for her to throw up in, she had to go over the railing," she said.

Whole Foods' "organic" comes from China

Whole Foods logo

Whole Foods, the self proclaimed 'worlds largest retailer of natural and organic foods (1)' is outsourcing production for many of its products from China, of all places.

The problems with this are that in China there is little to no oversight to ensure that 'organic' products meet USDA standards for food that qualifies as organic. In addition to this, no US agencies are allowed to monitor the legitimacy of these claims within the People's Republic of China, thus we have to take them at their word.

In a country where up to ten percent of the groundwater is contaminated by arsenic, zinc, cadmium and lead, one has to wonder about the quality of vegetables grown in China.

According to a report by ABC 7 Iteam (2), Whole Foods is selling products labeled as 'organic' which have been grown in China. The report goes on to state that neither Whole Foods nor the US government has agencies operating within China to verify that the products actually meet the 'organic' standards.

Modern Swine Flu Scare is the Second Attempt to Vaccinate Every American

In 1976 there was a nationwide panic over a suspicious strain of flu. It prompted a mass vaccination within the US. It was the swine flu outbreak.

A curious strain of H5N1 appeared out of nowhere. During January 19th to February 9th was the only time period when infections were detected. Only one death and 13 were hospitalized from the new strain in H5N1.

Yet, because of the mass vaccinations, 500 cases of Guilian - Barre syndrome (GBS) spread throughout the population causing 25 deaths.

GBS is a neuromuscular disorder that only derived from those who were administered the swine flu vaccine. It is a direct effect of the compounds contained in the vaccine. Other versions of the flu vaccine have not been associated with GBS, leaving evidence that this specific vaccine was the causation of the disease. The CDC confirms this fact through studies of the influenza vaccine.

The deaths associated with GBS as a direct result of the swine flu vaccine were caused by an immunopathological reaction to the chemicals that made up the vaccine.

Harvey Fineberg and Chiard Neustadt researched the swine flu outbreak and chronicled the debacle in their book, The Swine Flu Affair. Fineberg and Neustadt concluded that the risk of developing GBS is 11 times greater after having been given the swine flu vaccine.

It is no longer a secret that drug-resistant bacteria are rapidly emerging and spreading all around the world as a result of the continued overuse and abuse of antibiotic drugs in both conventional medicine and industrial agriculture. But now it appears that the genes responsible for spawning these so-called "superbugs" are also spreading, and turning otherwise mild conditions such as throat infections into deadly killers.

According To Doctors, New Born Babies Have Only Felt Pain In The Last 30 Years

Baby Pain

Sounds ridiculous doesn't it? Read the title again. How could babies not feel pain? Your first impression may interpret this statement as absurd or illogical. Well that is precisely how conventional medical misinformation was spread (and is spread) throughout scientific literature to promote fiction as fact.

Doctors only started accepting the idea that babies experienced pain from vaccine injections and circumcision in the 1980's. Before that, medical wisdom had somehow managed to promote the myth "babies did not experience pain" to allopathic practitioners worldwide. In fact, newborns underwent many routine surgeries without anesthetic before the 1980's because of this misrepresented belief.

As every decade and century passes, the previous misconceptions of conventional medicine are seen as a complete failure, not only in its illogical interpretation of the human body and its physiology, but in the care, interest and advancement of human health.

One of my mentors used to tell me that "you can never know how far down a mountain path you've traveled until you look back." The same can be said for the conventional path to health.

Women Used To Be Put To Sleep To Deliver Babies

As a perfect example, I will remind women that after World War II and until the 1970's, women in labor in the United States (and countless other countries worldwide) were given general anesthesia to put them to sleep while they were delivering their babies. Since women were unable to push the baby out, a physician used forceps, large steel spoons, around the baby's head to pull it out. Most pregnant women would cringe today at the thought of this process, but it was a routine procedure and acceptable for the majority of deliveries. It was not questioned. It was the norm.

Thank goodness midwives started asserting their strength in the early 1970's and began educating women on the dangers of this practice.

The list of incidents and practices propagated by allopathic practitioners and scientific literature is so lengthy that it would take days to recite the countless incompetent realities experienced by millions of victims at the hands of conventional physicians throughout the past few centuries alone.

Researchers: Joint Deterioration Linked to Periodontal Problems

For the first time researchers

have linked bacterial problems in the mouth to the deterioration of joint health. They found that the spread of adverse mouth bacteria, through the inflamed gum tissue and into the circulation, could wind up in the synovial fluid of joints and cause major problems associated with both osteoarthritis Degenerative joint disease. Most common type of arthritis that causes a chronic, progressive, breakdown in cartilage in middle-age adults and older. and rheumatoid arthritis.

While this is not the only reason for joint pain and arthritis, I believe it is a common reason for such problems and a contributing factor for a majority of people. I have observed for many years the relationship between digestive inflammation and joint deterioration. For example, in children inflammatory joint problems are almost always caused by digestive imbalance. The same is true for many adults. The health of the mouth is oftentimes a reflection of general digestive health.
