Allergies and risk of colorectal cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies.
Authors: Ye J, Talaiti A, Ma Y, Zhang Q, Ma L, Zheng H Abstract A history of allergy or allergic condition has been reported to be associated with reduced risk of some types of malignancies.

Pumbed and Embase databases were searched for relevant studies. The adjusted relative risk (RR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were pooled using the random-effects model. Nine studies, includi...

6,000-year-old track record for healing leaky gut
When I was traveling in India, I had the privilege of studying Ayurvedic medicine with traditional Master Healers. Surrounded by lakes, oceans and mountains, Kerala, India, is the birthplace of Ayurveda medicine. My plane landed in Mumbai. From there, I made the 800-mile trip to Kerala down on the southwestern-most tip of the Indian peninsula. With origins dating back 6,000 years, Kerala is the birthplace of Ayurvedic medicine. I spent a lot of time at the AyurMana or “ancient healing house.” This is the oldest existing school of Ayurvedic medicine in the world. It was there that I observed how quickly Ayurved...

Here ’s Everything You Need to Know About Gut Health
It’s hardly news that the gastrointestinal tract is important to human health: It transports food from the mouth to the stomach, converts it into absorbable nutrients and stored energy, and shuttles waste back out of the body. If you don’t properly nourish yourself, you don’t live. It’s that simple. But in recent years, scientists have discovered that the GI system has an even bigger, more complex job than previously appreciated. It’s been linked to numerous aspects of health that have seemingly nothing to do with digestion, from immunity to emotional stress to chronic illnesses, including can...

Among the broad spectrum of clinical manifestations are recurrent infections, allergies, autoimmune, tumour, pulmonary, liver and gastrointestinal diseases. Here we report the case of a 45-year-old male patient, who has been suffering from ulcerative colitis - likewise recognised as a CVID-associated disease - for many years. He was admitted to our clinic with a rapid progressive reduction of his general condition and a loss of weight. Diagnostic work-up revealed adenocarcinoma of the stomach as well ...

Emerging roles of lactic acid bacteria in protection against colorectal cancer.
Abstract Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide and the fourth most common cancer diagnosed among men and women in the United States. Considering the risk factors of CRC, dietary therapy has become one of the most effective approaches in reducing CRC morbidity and mortality. The use of probiotics is increasing in popularity for both the prevention and treatment of a variety of diseases. As the most common types of microbes used as probiotics, lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are comprised of an ecologically diverse group of microorganisms united by formation of lactic acid as the p...

My Body Makes My Brain Look Like an Idiot...
I'm getting older. I hurt more. I creak more. My ankles sound like they're each having their own personal fireworks display every single morning when I walk downstairs to feed the dog. He's getting old, too. We commiserate. "Another gray hair?" I tease. "Pot, meet kettle," he'd respond if he could. Touché, Bear. Each day brings a new malady, depending on what I eat, how I exercise, how much sleep I get, or if I have one too many glasses of wine. My liver has given up having even a shred of compassion for my unintelligence. And for some reason, my allergies whalloped me very hard this year. I can tolerate almost anythi...
