For all its broad health benefits there is still yet another exciting role for Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) that offers promise for those challenged with cancer. CoQ10 is a naturally occurring compound found in every cell in the body where it plays a critical role in the mitochondria that burn or oxidize food for fuel. Levels of CoQ10 decline as we age which leads to speculation that certain diseases and aging are a result of this diminished enzyme.
The adrenal glands sit on top of the kidneys and produce a number of hormones such as adrenalin, noradrenalin, cortisol and DHEA. These hormones make us feel motivated and alive, and they enable us to do the things we want to do and to deal with any stress we have in our lives. Unfortunately, modern day living often puts the adrenal glands under constant stress that must be regularly counteracted.

According to internal notes of a private meeting, obtained by The Washington Post, frustrated industry executives huddled for hours Thursday trying to figure out how to tamp down public concerns over the chemical bisphenol A, or BPA. The notes said the executives are particularly concerned about the views of young mothers, who often make purchasing decisions for households and who are most likely to be focused on health concerns.

Scientists have shown a rogue protein thought to cause Alzheimer's can spread through the brain, turning healthy tissue bad.
They believe the tau protein may share characteristics with the prion proteins which cause vCJD.
When injected into the brains of healthy mice it triggered formation of protein tangles linked to Alzheimer's.
However, experts stressed the Nature Cell Biology study did not mean tau could be passed from person to person.
When a 7-year-old boy on a risky regime of psychiatric medications hangs himself in the bathroom of a foster home, you have to ask whether his guardian -- the state of Florida -- knows how to be a good parent.
It is very easy to wrest a child from negligent and abusive parents. What's difficult is to assume the responsibilities the parents never met. But that's precisely why the state took custody of the boy -- to do a better job than a negligent parent.
Once again, the state proved to be deadly negligent.

There are three rules to being a good honest professional when it comes to vaccines and they are,a) See no evil, b) Hear no evil, c) Speak no evil.
Break any one of these rules and you are on a slippery slope to professional suicide. Not only will big pharma try to destroy you, so to, will every newspaper known to man, your governing body and even your own friends and colleagues. Play to the rules and you will become rich and successful. So why is it that there are some professionals, who despite being discredited, professionally dissected and left on the scrap heap by the medical profession and their peers,still continue to speak out time and time again against vaccines and the pharmaceutical companies who manufacture them?

While foreign accent syndrome (FAS) has been linked to damage in certain brain areas of the person sounding foreign, scientists now say that this condition may lie in the ears of the listeners.
This proposition comes after a team of researchers found two people with no trace of brain damage who have nevertheless sounded foreign since childhood.
Peter Marien, a neurologist at Middelheim General Hospital and the University of Antwerp, Belgium, who led the study, said that the new finding could prompt neurologists and linguists to rethink the origins of FAS and may even point towards a genetic cause.
"There is no such thing as one simple recipe that explains what happens to a person who has foreign accent syndrome," New Scientist quoted him as saying.

Women are under-represented in clinical cancer research published in high-impact journals, according to a new study by researchers at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center.
Taking into account the incidence of particular types of cancer among women, studies included a smaller proportion of women than should be expected. The analysis looked specifically at studies of cancer types that were not gender specific, including colon cancer, oral cancers, lung cancer, brain tumors and lymphomas.

Building on research first done in Canada, human experiments are underway to test using jolts of electricity to the brain to keep obese people from overeating.
Deep brain stimulation involves boring through the skull and implanting electrodes the width of uncooked spaghetti in regions of the hypothalamus believed to control hunger and satiety, or feelings of fullness.

The diabetes drug Avandia significantly raises the risk of both heart failure and bone fractures, but it does not boost the odds for either cardiovascular disease or death, new research has found.
If anything, the drug may slightly lower the overall risk of death, said the authors of the much-anticipated RECORD study, which was presented Friday at the American Diabetes Association's annual meeting in New Orleans and published simultaneously online in The Lancet.
"The findings essentially are that, in overall cardiovascular terms, the drug is safe," Dr. Philip D. Home, chairman of the study steering committee and a professor of diabetes medicine at Newcastle University in Britain, said during a Friday news conference. "There's no decreased risk, and that includes the heart failure element. If anything, deaths were reduced with rosiglitazone [Avandia] compared to those in the control group. It doesn't reach statistical significance, but it's on the right side of benefit."

Comment: Helping morbidly overweight people slim down, or Alzheimer patients retain their memories are laudable goals. But let's remember that medicine is one of the more potent tools of the PTB. If it can be used benignly, it can be used evilly also:
