University College Cork and Mercy University Hospital Cork, Ireland may have layed additional ground work for the validity of the phytochemical commonly found in the curry spice turmeric and its effects on esophageal cancer, which they said is increasingly prevalent and has poor survival rates. In their British Journal of Cancer article the scientists concluded curcumin represents “a promising anticancer agent for prevention and treatment of esophageal cancer.”. While many CAM Therapist have known of the anti-cancer properties for years, creditable studies like this add to an ever growing acceptance of that fact.

The news is out: Vitamin D is better than the swine flu vaccine at halting H1N1 infections. In fact, without vitamin D, chances are that a vaccine won’t generate much of an immune response in the first place.
That’s because vitamin D is essential for healthy, active immune function. That’s just one of the reasons smart people are choosing vitamin D instead of the swine flu vaccine. Here are nineteen more reasons:
#1 Vitamin D activates your immune system to respond to any viral exposure (not just one virus).
#2 Vitamin D naturally belongs in your body.
#3 Vitamin D has been functioning as medicine in the human body since the beginning of the human species.
#4 Vitamin D is available right now and there’s no shortage of it.
#5 Vitamin D won’t cause your brain to swell and put you into a coma.
#6 Vitamin D doesn’t require an injection with a scary needle.
#7 Vitamin D is found naturally in many foods such as sardines or salmon.
#8 Vitamin D has a perfect safety record. No one ever died from consuming it.
#9 Vitamin D is affordable. You can even get it for free (from sunlight).
#10 Vitamin D doesn’t contain viral fragments from diseased animals (like vaccines often do).
#11 Vitamin D doesn’t contain thimerosal or other chemical preservatives.
#12 Vitamin D doesn’t need a warning sheet describing possible side effects.
#13 Vitamin D doesn’t hurt your arm when you take it.
#14 Vitamin D also improves sugar metabolism, bone density and healthy moods.
#15 Vitamin D is safe for the environment.
#16 Vitamin D doesn’t contain squalene or other inflammatory adjuvant chemicals.
#17 Vitamin D works on everyone and is safe for everyone, including infants and children.
#18 Vitamin D is made in nature, not a laboratory.
#19 Vitamin D is found naturally in breast milk.
#20 You can walk, and chew gum, and generate vitamin D from sunshine all at the same time!
Two types of depression require different HTP approaches.
For years CAM Therapists and Practitioners have known the positive benefits L-5-HTP on mild depression. L-5-Hydroxytryptophan as the name suggests is derived from the amino acid L-Tryptophan, a prominent amino acid in Turkey. Several years ago a proported shipment of L-Tryptophan from Japan, launched an FDA pre-emptive strike against the use of the amino acid on depression, the “prescription only” ban lasted for over 10 years. As necessity is the mother of invention, the end result in this case was the derivitive L-5-HTP. But HTP was not only effective, it didn’t tax the liver as much to process it into activity – shorter reponse time, easier on the body. Over time it was found that HTP responded even better when combined with Vitamin C and Vitamin B6. Oriental Medicine used this information and went one step further by adding Luo Bu Ma (Dogbane). While the positive results were immediate, a new finding emerged, while extremely effective on lethargic depression, those suffering from manic depression expressed increase frustration and anxiety to the point of uncontrolled anger. By a simple substitution of GABA (gama-amino butyric acid) for the Lou Ba Ma component and sufferers of manic depression now have their pathway to relief and nutritional support. Two types of depression – two natural answers.
