New point of attack against stomach bacterium Helicobacter pylori
(Technical University of Munich (TUM)) There is a strong suspicion that Helicobacter pylori is linked to the development of stomach cancer. Now an international team of researchers used neutrons to unveil the functionality of an important enzyme in the bacterium's metabolism. This could be used as a point of attack for new medications. The measurements were made at the neutron sources in Oak Ridge (USA) and at the research neutron source of the Technical University of Munich (TUM). (Source: EurekAlert! - Cancer)

How To Prevent Cancer Naturally
Why is it that if you’re unfortunate enough to get cancer, your only option is to see an oncologist who will almost certainly recommend radiation, surgery or chemotherapy drugs?
One reason is that it’s all they know. Conventional doctors are only educated to use the tools of modern medical technology.
But there’s another reason that’s very concerning…
Chemotherapy drugs are making oncologists very, very rich.
You see, most doctors will just write you a prescription for a drug. But not oncologists. They buy these drugs at wholesale prices then sell them to cancer patients at marked-up prices.

Many people who live to be 100 or more have something in common. And it’s not that they’ve followed conventional “wisdom” about healthy diet and exercise.

It’s what keeps them from being ravaged by the toxic world we live in.
Glutathione is an important antioxidant produced by the body

6 Natural Remedies for Heartburn Relief
By: Kimberly Jordan Allen
Acid reflux is an unpleasant sensation many people experience. Thankfully, there are plenty of natural remedies for heartburn relief.
When I was pregnant with twins I discovered a not-so-pleasant sensation I'd never experienced before--heartburn, also called acid reflux. I always imagined this was something that struck older folks, or those ingesting copious amounts of junk food.

Tracking Human Migration on a Micro Scale
By Drs. David Niesel and Norbert Herzog
We have featured several episodes about the Iceman, Ötzi who lived 5300 years ago, but whose remains were found by hikers in the Italian Alps in 1991. Studies of his mummified remains have revealed much about his life during the Copper Age, between 3500 and 2300 BCE. Now we report not on Ötzi himself, but on his stomach bacteria, which tells us about his life and the history of human geography.
Heliobacter pylori or H. pylori found in Ötzi's stomach infects two thirds of the world's population. This bacterium is thought to have become associated with humans at least 100,000 ...
