Cancer, Vitamin C, Linus Pauling

Dr. Robert Rowen, MD is internationally known for his work in the field of complementary, alternative and integrative medicine. He is known as the "Father of Medical Freedom" for his efforts to legalize alternative medicine in 1990 in Alaska. He worked with Senator Ward and Governor Hickel to accomplish this amazing feat.

The rare medical freedom he enjoyed in Alaska enabled him to greatly expand his knowledge and experience in a multitude of disciplines and therapies not normally found in medicine.

Jumping into alternative medicine in 1983, through a practice in acupuncture, he quickly incorporated nutritional medicine, chelation therapy, oxidation therapy, homeopathy and herbal medicine, and took intensive training in neural therapy and prolotherapy to help treat and eliminate acute and chronic pain.

Alaska's laws enabled him to work extensively with innovative cancer therapies, ozone, and ultraviolet blood irradiation therapy.

He is internationally known and respected for training hundreds of open-minded physicians in these techniques from around the world. Dr. Robert Rowen is truly one of the health heroes I met and became friends with over 45 years of health research.

Could you be as sane (or crazy!) as what you eat?

Could you be as sane (or crazy!) as what you eat? This new (and fiercely controversial) arm of psychiatry contends that even the ultimate mind bending horror of schizophrenia is nothing more than a problem of vitamins and minerals. Our Cosmo investigator takes a searching, objective look.

Joanie, a 28-year-old legal secretary, began to have temper tantrums directed at Tom, the man she'd been living amiably with for three years. During these outbursts, Joanne became physically violent, something she had never done before, once even chasing Tom out of their apartment with a butcher knife. These fits of rage would depart as inexplicably as they arrived, leaving Joanie distraught and sobbing. Shaken, particularly by the knife episode, she began seeing a psychiatrist. For several months, the analyst had Joanie explore her emotions about Tom, her parents, her job, her goals and expectations, but the puzzling rages continued. Joanie quit the psychiatrist and went instead to a clinic specializing in orthomolecular psychiatry, a new branch of medicine that treats mental disorders mainly through nutrition. In less than two weeks Joanie's devastating tantrums vanished and have not reoccurred. Continue Reading >>

Tips On How To Have A Healthy Heart

If an apple a day keeps the doctor away, what would it take to avoid a heart surgeon? How about a multivitamin with mineral pill and some omega-3 oil (canola-rapeseed, flax, fish)? Add a diet low in processed food and a good 'lifestyle' (don't smoke, control waist size, manage stress well, some exercise) and you will improve general health and help prevent heart disease.

Natural Healing

The patient's immune system and the immune system alone is responsible for healing and recovery from ill health. The use of drugs and vaccines represents an assault on the immune system. In some cases, the use of a particular drug might be a wise choice to speed healing and recovery for the patient, but the use of natural, orthomolecular therapies and substances (substances normally found in Nature) that can more effectively address the cause of the disease should be considered first because natural substances work in harmony with Nature. They aid and stimulate the body to truly cure itself, without the terrible millstone of drug side-effects.

The human body is predisposed to heal itself and to exist as a healthy, thriving organism. We inhibit that process by ingesting unhealthy foods, fouling our inner environment with toxins, and relying upon poisonous substances to treat disease conditions.

Unlike 'miracle drugs' and other 'drug breakthroughs', you will never see or hear anything from mainstream media about most of the therapies described here. The Big Three see to that, but you can still glean this information from the alternative health press, books, web sites, and at health expos. Some of these alternative therapies require high-tech equipment and specialized knowledge, but many, many others can be done at home without third party intervention or supervision. It's amazing, but true, that many of the most effective healing therapies (even for grave, life-threatening disease conditions) are simple things that you can do for yourself at home. You simply have to educate yourself and take responsibility for your own health. Continue Reading >>

Reduced serum vitamin E predicts physical decline in older individuals

The January 23, 2008 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association published the finding of Benedetta Bartali, RD, PhD, of Yale University School of Medicine and colleagues that having reduced serum levels of vitamin E, an indicator of poor nutrition, is significantly associated with a decline in physical function among men and women aged 65 and older.

The current study included 698 participants in the Invecchiare in Chianti (InCHIANTI) study of risk factors contributing to physical function decline among aging men and women living in Tuscany, Italy. Examinations of the participants were performed upon enrollment from November, 1998 through May, 2000 and tests of physical function, including walking speed, chair rises, and standing balance, were conducted. Fasting blood samples were evaluated for serum concentrations of folate, vitamins B6, B12, D, E (alpha-tocopherol), and iron. Reassessment of physical function occurred at three-year follow-up examinations which took place between 2001 and 2003. Continue Reading

Linus Pauling--Molecular Diseases, Sickle Cell Anemia

Sickle cell anemia is a serious condition in which the red blood cells can become sickle-shaped (that is, shaped like a "C").

Normal red blood cells are smooth and round like a doughnut without a hole. They move easily through blood vessels to carry oxygen to all parts of the body. Sickle-shaped cells don't move easily through blood. They're stiff and sticky and tend to form clumps and get stuck in blood vessels.

The clumps of sickle cells block blood flow in the blood vessels that lead to the limbs and organs. Blocked blood vessels can cause pain, serious infections, and organ damage. http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/dci/Diseases/Sca/SCA_WhatIs.html
