Integrative medicine: Mushrooms green tea and breast cancer
Stamford Times
Kay Judge and Maxine Barish-WredenMcClatchy NewspapersHundreds of studies have looked at the potential of mushrooms to prevent and treat cancer and green tea is widely used in the world as a health booster. Could mushrooms and green tea together provide an added benefit for cancer protection? Are other foods also valuable for cancer prevention?A recent case-control study published in the International Journal of Cancer looked at the intake of mushrooms and green tea in 1009 pre- and postmenopausal Chinese women with breast cancer and compared this with a matched group of 1009 healthy Chinese women without breast cancer. The findings: Women who regularly ate fresh mushrooms and also drank green tea had a much lower cancer risk than women who consumed neither. How might mushrooms and green tea reduce cancer risk? Among other things mushrooms contain lentinian a compound that stimulates the immune system which in turn can slow tumor growth. Green tea contains polyphenols called catechins that may help to stop the spread and invasion of cancer cells to healthy tissues.

The study which focuses on olderpeople and their family members has tracked the health of childrenof centenarians as they age trying to uncover the commondenominators of longevity. The latest findings are published online in the Journal ofthe American Geriatrics Society. Because research had already found that longevity runs stronglyin families Perls and his colleagues decided to look at 246offspring of those who lived to 100 to see if their children nowabout age 75 had common personality traits.

Not only are friends and colleagues contributing their essays to this blog carnival but there is an impressive influx of “new blood” too.

Having prostate cancer test an individual choice
Connecticut Post
have such a problem with the PSA test is the very nature of the prostate cancer I have described above. Because unlike other cancers it grows very slowly we have never been able to prove that by getting the test done you actually make the risk of dying from the cancer less! Yes you will more likely detect the cancer but that is not necessarily good news. The newest studies on this topic were just published in one of the most prestigious medical journals the New England Journal of Medicine. In the first study performed in the U. almost 77000 men were involved half of them tested with PSA and half not. After the seven-year follow-up although more men had cancer found with PSA testing and got treated they did not live longer because of it.

The practice known as iridology claims to distinguish between healthy organs in the body and those which are overactive inflamed or distressed by examining the patterns colours and markings of the iris. It is steadily rising in popularity here. So too is kinesiology a relatively new practice which incorporates the ancient energetic aspects of traditional Chinese medicine to work with the body’s energy meridians and acupressure reflex points. But as footfall increasingly moves from the local doctor’s surgery to the local complementary health practice valid questions arise such as: do these alternative health practices work and can they be trusted? Helen Begadon director of the Irish School of Natural Healing in Portlaoise argues that the answer to both these questions is an unequivocal yes. An iridologist and herbalist for 25 years Begadon insists however that she does not diagnose her patients. She says she assesses their individual susceptibility to disease and general state of health using iridology as a tool. “The approach is different” she explains.
