Israeli Nobel Scientists Find Cancer Suppressing Proteins

Post Pic
Israeli scientists have discovered two proteins that they claim can contain cancer and control the cells’ growth and development. A team of Israeli researchers headed by Professor Aaron Ciechanover, an Israeli Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, has discovered two proteins that they say can suppress cancer and control the cells’ growth and development, media reports said. The relevant study was carried... 

Monsanto shuns WHO verdict that Roundup 'probably' causes cancer

Post Pic
The active ingredient in the world’s most widely-used Roundup herbicide has been classified as “probably” carcinogenic to humans by a branch of the World Health Organization. The agrochemical giant Monsanto, has immediately rejected the new conclusions. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), in their latest study said that there was “convincing evidence” that glyphosate... 

French Breast Implants to carry Cancer Warning after Dozens Diagnosed

Post Pic
French firm PIP sparked a global health scare in 2011, when plastic surgeons began reporting an unusual number of ruptures in their products. Breast implants in France will come with a health warning after experts discovered a link with a rare form of cancer. France’s National Cancer Institute said there was a ‘clearly established link’ between a specific type of implant and the disease. Experts... 

Australian Father Faces 20 Years Prison for Treating Daughter's Cancer with Cannabis Oil

Post Pic
Adam Koessler wanted to cure his 2-year-old daughter’s rare, stage 4 Neuroblastoma, a cancer of the abdomen that can be very painful. He learned about the positive medicinal effects of cannabis oil on cancers like his daughter’s and tried to administer the oil in an attempt to heal her. What followed is a complete nightmare. Despite the fact that: There is video evidence that cannabis oil attacks... 

All Independent Scientists Are Concerned About GMOs

Post Pic
Half of the Studies Find Cause For Concern… The Other Half Are Studies By the GMO Food Industry Itself. Tufts University’s Director of the Research and Policy Program at the Global Development and Environment Institute (Timothy Wise) points out: There is no … consensus on the safety of GM food. A peer-reviewed study of the research, from peer-reviewed journals, found that about half of the... 

State Forces Connecticut Teen With Cancer To Undergo Chemotherapy

17-year-old girl with cancer is in an unprecedented legal battle with the state of Connecticut as the Department of Children and Families removed her from her home and forced the teen to receive chemotherapy. The girl being identified as “Cassandra C.” in court papers was diagnosed with cancer in September, with doctors recommending she receive chemotherapy for the rare condition of Hodgkins Lymphoma.... 

Erasing memories and landing on a comet

2014’s accomplishments have uncovered new facts from Earth’s early days, as well as opened new horizons – in tiny cells and vast space exploration, affecting the planet’s and its inhabitants’ future. How did it all go? #Cometlanding and exploring origins of life Ten years on Earth might be a speck of sand in the hour glass of the galaxy, but not for the European Space... 

Cancer risk highly linked to mere bad luck

Post Pic
A cell undergoing division. About two-thirds of all cancer cases were not caused by environmental factors or bad genes, but rather resulted from random bad luck during stem cell division, a new statistical study says. This means more effort is needed for early detection. There are many types of cancer, but they are all basically cells running amok and multiplying without check, which leads to tumors... 

New biomarker detects & treats cancer tumors at same time

Post Pic
Scientists at Singapore’s Nanyang Technological University have created a new biological marker for cancer patients that lights up tumor cells and treats disease with drugs at the same time. The breakthrough biomarker is a nanophosphor particle ten thousand times smaller than a grain of sand, which lights up when it detects tumor cells to allow scientists to take a better look. “This is the first... 

Iranian scientists produce crocin from saffron

Post Pic
Iran produces crocin from saffron Iranian scientists have developed a novel method that could provide extraction of crocin from saffron for the first time. The researchers produced crocin by cell culture method at the laboratory level at Iran’s National Nutrition and Food Technology Research Institute (NNFTRI). Crocin, which is a natural carotenoid chemical compound, is responsible for the color... 

Scientists develop cancer-fighting stem cells in lab

Post Pic
Scientists develop cancer-killing stem cells in lab. Researchers have developed a breakthrough method of turning stem cells into attackers to target and fight brain tumors. The newly designed way introduces stem cells engineered to produce toxins which are able to kill brain tumors, without succumbing to their effects. As a stem-cell-based therapy for cancer, the newly-developed method does not threaten... 

Study links soft drinks to Cell Aging, Diabetes, Heart Disease and Cancer

Post Pic
The regular consumption of fizzy drinks accelerates cellular aging of tissues, according to a new study by American scientists. People who enjoy daily carbonated sodas experience DNA changes, aging their cells by four years. After studying over 5,300 “healthy adults” in the US, aged between 20 and 65 years old, who had no history of diabetes or cardiovascular disease, the researchers found... 

Breakthrough device heralds future of cancer detection

Post Pic
A brand new device, called Miriam, could simplify regular cancer screenings. Early cancer detection can save millions of lives but current diagnostic methods remain costly and invasive. However, a new startup is developing a device which could detect dozens of cancers with a single blood test. The Miriam test platform was recently presented at the TEDGlobal 2014 conference in Rio de Janeiro by Jorge... 

Steve Jobs Didn't Let His Kids Use iPads

Post Pic
Technocratic elites realize electronic devices are tools of distraction, dumbing down. A recent New York Times article exemplified how technological and billionaire elites live by different standards than they prescribe to the American populace. A piece entitled “Steve Jobs Was a Low-Tech Parent,” discusses how the late Apple CEO refused to allow his children to play with one of the company’s... 

Activating single gene could extend human lifespan by 30%

Post Pic
David Walker In an experiment on fruit flies, UCLA biologists activated just one gene, AMPK, which extended their lifespan by nearly a third, by helping them to get rid of “cellular garbage” causing old age diseases such as Parkinson’s. Humans have the same gene. “Instead of studying the diseases of aging Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, cancer, stroke, cardiovascular disease,...
