How to Protect Your Brain Against Alzheimer ’s
A few weeks ago, Big Pharma giant Merck canceled the clinical trial for its latest “promising” Alzheimer’s drug.
Why?
It was a total flop.
The same thing happened four months ago with a drug that Eli Lilly was testing.
The reality is that more than 99% of Alzheimer’s drugs fail in development. This proves that mainstream medicine has no clue what causes this brain-wasting condition.

Health Care Reform And Women: A Comparison Of The ACA And The AHCA
By Susan Blumenthal, M.D. and Alexandrea Adams
The recent commemoration of National Women’s Health Week provided an important time to mark the progress that has been made in advancing women’s health over the past two decades and to highlight what more needs to be done to achieve women’s health equity in America.

Before the mid 1990’s, women were often excluded as subjects ...

What Adult Problems Can Start with Fetal Undernutrition?
Discussion
Developmental origins of health and disease (DOHaD) is a scientific hypothesis that proposes that fetal nutrition has permanent effects on growth, metabolism, and structure. These changes, or biological programming, are felt to occur at critical periods in fetal development “…when developmental changes in the organism towards increasing complexity, greater plasticity, and more efficient functioning occurs rapidly and may be most easily modified either in favorable or unfavorable directions.” Fetal undernutrition has been studied more than overnutrition, and various nutritional components (prote...

Paternal nutrition affects offsprings' mental fitness, laboratory study shows
The father ' s lifestyle affects the cognitive skills of his offspring -- at least in mice. Scientists have now shown that if male rodents are fed a diet rich in folic acid, methionine and vitamin B12, their progeny do not perform well in memory tests. This suggests that the intake of high concentrations of such methyl donors could also have side effects in humans, for example, if they consume excessive amounts of energy drinks or folic acid pills.

How to Boost Your Stem Cells
A California man named Kris Boesen was completely paralyzed after breaking his neck in a terrible car crash last March. But now he can brush his teeth and hug his family again…
He's even started to regain sensation in his legs.
And it's all because of a simple procedure he underwent about a month after his accident: stem cell therapy.
During Kris' procedure, researchers at the University of Southern California injected 10 million stem cells into his spinal cord.
Within two weeks, he could wiggle his fingers. Three months later, he was able to feed himself, write his name and operate his wheelchair.
