Vitamin D Derivative Reduces Risk for Further Skin Cancer
An inexpensive vitamin D₃ product, widely available over the counter, has been shown to reduce significantly the risk of developing further skin cancers in patients who have already been diagnosed with nonmelanoma skin cancer. The product is nicotinamide, taken orally 500 mg twice daily.Measles leaves you vulnerable to a host of deadly diseases
Many parents who reject vaccination do so because they believe having measles is healthier than being vaccinated against it. They might, however, reconsider if there's clear evidence that measles leaves a child vulnerable to pneumonia, meningitis or diphtheria.Apparently it wipes out your immune system memory. That's bad.
I had measles as an infant. And then a whole parade of other infections.
Amino acid found in some foods could improve oral health
Arginine, a common amino acid, could help significantly improve oral health as it breaks down dental plaque, according to a collaborative study by experts at Newcastle University and University of Michigan, USA.
Dr Jakubovics said: "Our study shows that the effects are only seen at very high concentrations of arginine, such as those that are currently being introduced into certain oral healthcare products. There is no evidence yet that lower concentrations found in foods such as red meats would have benefits for removal of dental plaque."This is highly theoretical. This is a petri dish experiment.
In humans- there is plenty of evidence that Arginine triggers cold sores. And 60% of the population has the HSV1 virus. Which contributes to cognitive trouble and dementia...
Strong statin-diabetes link seen in large study
In a study of nearly 26,000 beneficiaries of Tricare, the military health system, those taking statin drugs to control their cholesterol were 87 percent more likely to develop diabetes. The research confirms past findings on the link between the widely prescribed drugs and diabetes risk. But it is among the first to show the connection in a relatively healthy group of people. The study included only people who at baseline were free of heart disease, diabetes, and other severe chronic disease.Wow, that number keeps getting higher the more people take them. Huh.
