Watching What You Put In Your Mouth Can Reduce Health Care Spending More Than Politicians
Much of what I write is about the expensive, inequitable and unnecessarily complex U.S. health care system. About how corporate interests control both our health care system and our government--regardless of who we vote for--and what we can do about it.
I will continue to do that, but going forward I'll also write about what is going right, especially in the private sector and the nonprofit world. I'll be introducing you to individuals, businesses, health care providers and organizations that are operating outside of government and who are making a positive difference in the lives of Americans.
I'll be starting with in...

How to Protect Yourself Against Fluoride Toxicity
We're all familiar with the additive fluoride.
But do you know what your daily requirement for fluoride is?
Zero.
In the 1940s and '50s, dentists believed that fluoride was an essential nutrient necessary to build strong bones and teeth. Communities around the country started adding it to their drinking water. And the CDC heralded water fluoridation as one of the greatest public health feats of the 20th century.
The goal was to reduce dental cavities, but the experiment turned out to be a big bust.
Fluoride actually increases cavities.
One large study looked at 400,000 students. It found that for each 1 part-per mi...

Red Wine Chemical Enhances Mesothelioma Chemotherapy
A new experimental treatment combining a chemical found in red wine and a popular chemotherapy drug showed a powerful synergistic effect in targeting pleural mesothelioma cells.
Researchers at Soon Chun Hyang University Hospital Cheonan in South Korea combined the platinum-based chemotherapy drug cisplatin with resveratrol, a natural antioxidant found in wine and red grapes.
The result successfully induced apoptosis, or the process of natural cell death, in malignant mesothelioma cells.
Cisplatin has long been one of the most popular drugs to treat mesothelioma and a variety of other cancers. But like many chemotherapy d...

Crack discovered in Earth's magnetic shield
The GRAPES-3 muon telescope recorded a burst of galactic cosmic rays of about 20 GeV, on 22 June 2015 lasting for two hours. The burst occurred when a giant cloud of plasma ejected from the solar corona, and moving with a speed of about 2.5 million kilometers per hour struck our planet, causing a severe compression of Earth ' s magnetosphere from 11 to 4 times the radius of Earth. It triggered a severe geomagnetic storm that generated aurora borealis, and radio signal blackouts in many high latitude countries. (Source: ScienceDaily Headlines)

Keeping Your Inner Army Strong
By Dr. Sudip Bose, MD
Oct. 25, 2016 -- First of all, what is our inner army?
I'll review briefly from our last write up, Leadership Under Pressure:
• We have an inner army in our brain.
• We have an inner army that is our physical body.
We need to feed, care for and maintain those inner armies if we expect ourselves to be ready and clear-headed to lead and function effectively under pressure or in a crisis situation. When that grenade flies into your world and goes off-- no matter what world you're living in, whether it be corporate, small business, hosp...

Pomegranates, turmeric and red grapes: the key to long life?
Cells keep the body healthy by devouring toxic waste to fight off everything from wrinkles to dementia. Could certain foods help?Autophagy literally means “self-devouring” – something our cells are doing constantly, breaking down damage and toxic waste products – andJapanese cell biologist Yoshinori Ohsumi has just been awarded the Nobel prize in medicine for his work in uncovering the complex mechanisms that underpin this remarkable internal recycling system. So how does autophagy keep us healthy? Why might dysfunctional autophagy contribute to diabetes, dementia, leukaemia and Parkinson ’s disease? And will our...

Even Climate Change Is Good For Something: German Wine
It may be springtime for vintners in Germany.
As average temperatures there soared 1.4 degrees centigrade over the last 40 years, the country already famous for its crisp pilsners and Riesling white wines has become more hospitable to the hard-to-grow grapes used to make pinot noir. So the quality of spätburgunder ― as the Germans call it ― is rising.
Bloomberg dubbed it the “buzzy alternative” to increasingly pricey red wines from France’s Burgundy region, which has been ravaged in recent years by unpredictable weather.
Climate change threatens to destroy crops, submer...

A component of red wine and grapes can help control inflammation induced by a bacterial pathogen that is linked to upper respiratory tract inflammatory diseases such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD) and middle ear infection (otitis media), according to a study by researchers at Georgia State University. The findings, published in the online journal Scientific Reports, identify a novel mechanism that resveratrol, a compound found naturally in some plant foods such as grapes, uses to alleviate inflammation in airway disease.
