Can You Trust Chemotherapy to ...
Cure Your Cancer?
by: Andreas Moritz
(NaturalNews) Former White House press secretary Tony Snow died in July 2008 at the age of 53, following a series of chemotherapy treatments for colon cancer. In 2005, Snow had his colon removed and underwent six months of chemotherapy after being diagnosed with colon cancer. Two years later (2007), Snow underwent surgery to remove a growth in his abdominal area, near the site of the original cancer. "This is a very treatable condition," said Dr. Allyson Ocean, a gastrointestinal oncologist at Weill Cornell Medical College. "Many patients, because of the therapies we have, are able to work and live full lives with quality while they're being treated. Anyone who looks at this as a death sentence is wrong." But of course we now know, Dr. Ocean was dead wrong.The media headlines proclaimed Snow died from colon cancer, although they knew he didn't have a colon anymore. Apparently, the malignant cancer had "returned" (from where?) and "spread" to the liver and elsewhere in his body. In actual fact, the colon surgery severely restricted his normal eliminative functions, thereby overburdening the liver and tissue fluids with toxic waste. The previous series of chemo-treatments inflamed and irreversibly damaged a large number of cells in his body, and also impaired his immune system -- a perfect recipe for growing new cancers. Now unable to heal the causes of the original cancer (in addition to the newly created ones), Snow's body developed new cancers in the liver and other parts of the body.The mainstream media, of course, still insist Snow died from colon cancer, thus perpetuating the myth that it is only the cancer that kills people, not the treatment. Nobody seems to raise the important point that...MoRe

Poisoning by Water
By Doug Grant
What Ben didn’t know on that fateful day was how carefully to watch that balance, and that riding over 100 miles, on a steamy August day (one of the most unbearable of the summer), though the hilltowns of western Massachusetts, would not only wring the salt right out of him, but also cause him to over drink. Though he quaffed electrolyte drinks, and consumed little powdery packets of the stuff, none of it had sufficient amounts of sodium to maintain the balance.

What can we learn from recent research?

New Statement on Exercise-Associated Hyponatremia Issued
As any toxicologist will tell you, and as most of us know, too much of a good thing - or in toxicology, too much of just about anything can be bad. Whenever I introduce students to toxicology, I usually begin with very accessible examples, like anti-inflammatory medication.
I also like to use personal examples whenever possible, like the time our dog Bruno, after placing himself in front of a van and winding up with a broken leg and a severely dislocated hip – decided to consume a whole bottle of doggie anti-inflammatory medication, blue plastic and all. To his defense the things were disguised as meaty treats, and after getting his stomach pumped, and kidney and liver function tested, all was well.
Another example is that of water, although, having too much water always seemed a bit far-fetched. That is, until this past weekend when my husband Ben, almost passed on to... More

How Nerve agents work
Written and Copyrighted by Translator
I had a change of plans. It is easy to understand that materials like chlorine or phosgene, or even mustard agents work because they chemically attack cells, either destroying proteins and lipids, of by corrupting DNA.
Nerve agents work very differently, so this aside may shed some light on how these horrible materials work. First, some basic physiology. There are numerous chemical messengers in the body and brain, including dopamine (why people get addicted, but that is another post), norepinephrine, GABA, serotonin, and many others. This has to with one called acetylcholine.
Here is a structural diagram of acetylcholine.
This neurotransmitter is involved, amongst other things, with voluntary and involuntary muscle movement. It also has to do with such actions as breathing, secretion of fluids, and eye pupil size. It is an excititory neurotransmitter, meaning that its presence causes nerves to fire, in contrast to an inhibitory neurotransmitter, where its presence prevents nerves to fire. This is an extremely important distinction, so please keep it in mind.

Poison
I was seriously poisoned for the past few days....
Like snow white with the poison apple. But prettier and less deadly poison and longer duration of pain and suffering. Well, to be exact, I got food poisoning on Saturday (12/7) evening. It could be by the nasi lemak I ate in the morning or the mushroom soup I had that evening.
Anyway, my fairytale story started bout 4pm on Sat as I started to feel dizzy. Felt nausea at the same time, so I just went to bed. The next thing I knew it was already 11pm and I don't feel less nausea. I knew something had to be wrong. Poison!
I was already in great uncomfort, in tears asking ...MORE

8 tips to help prevent...
unintentional drug overdoses
By Kristen Gerencher, MarketWatch
SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- The untimely death of actor Heath Ledger raises an important question for anyone taking multiple medications: Do you know what you're taking and how much?
It's not yet known what killed Ledger, 28, a star in the movie "Brokeback Mountain" who was found dead in his New York apartment on Jan. 22. But several prescription containers were discovered at the scene and medical examiners are running toxicology tests to determine the cause of his death.
News that keeps you fit
With costs soaring and consumers asked to make more decisions, you need up-to-date health advice.• Require people to buy insurance?• Insured, but still struggling• Back pain proves formidable foe• How to hire a home nurseRead the Health Matters Blog
Americans have never had so many pharmaceutical options with which to treat a host of conditions and many reap the health benefits without incident. But a growing number unknowingly are mixing drugs that prove harmful when combined or deliberately using them for purposes they weren't intended, public-health experts say.
Accidental poisonings from prescription-drug use are on the rise, especially among middle-age adults, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
"When most people think about poisonings, they tend to think of little kids. But the highest drug-poisoning rates are in people 45 to 54 years of age," said Dr. Len Paulozzi, a medical epidemiologist at the CDC Injury Center in Atlanta. Among unintentional poisoning deaths, 95% are due to drugs of all kinds -- both legal and illegal, he said.
The 45- to 54-year-old age group saw the largest increase -- a 25% jump -- in death rates caused by injury from 1999 to 2004, according to the CDC. Younger adults age 20 to 29 had an 8% rise in total injury death rates. Unintentional poisoning accounted for more than half of the increase in each group, and it was second only to car crashes as the cause of accidental deaths in 2004.
As people get older they typically take more medications to manage chronic health conditions, exposing them to more potential risks, said Janet P. Engle, professor of pharmacy practice at University of Illinois at Chicago's College of Pharmacy.
"We're seeing more and more problems with people mixing medications because they don't take the time to find out if they interact," she said. "Then sometimes they add alcohol, which can cause respiratory depression." That can be fatal. "You mix enough sedative-type drugs, whether they're over-the-counter or prescription, and alcohol and that's a recipe for disaster."
Calling on toxicology
Twenty years ago, people were more likely to overdose on just one drug, said Dr. Jeffrey Jentzen, a medical examiner in Milwaukee and president of the National Association of Medical Examiners. "But now the most common cause of death in our jurisdiction has to do with mixed prescription drug overdoses."
For example, a person may be on a painkiller such as hydrocodone or oxycodone and sleeping pills and possibly alcohol on top, he said. "They're taking multiple medications that in and of themselves wouldn't prove fatal but in combination do. That's typical around the country.
"People are using a combination of drugs when they shouldn't be, and they're using drugs for recreation," Jentzen said. "They're diverting prescription drugs for recreational drug use."
About 60% of medical examiners' autopsies involve toxicology investigations, double the amount from two decades ago, Jentzen estimated. "Twenty years ago we'd have to look for alcohol and one other drug and now we typically have to do five to seven drugs...find out not only that they're there but how much is present."
The misuse and abuse of prescription drugs has authorities concerned. The Office of National Drug Control Policy is launching a $14 million ad campaign targeted to parents of teenagers that kicked off during the Super Bowl. It's also partnering with 15,000 pharmacies nationwide to remind adults purchasing commonly abused prescription drugs to safeguard kids by securing their medicine cabinets. In 2006, about 2.1 million teens abused prescription drugs.
For lethal drug overdoses where the person's intentions aren't clear from the evidence, more medical examiners are starting to turn to genetic testing for answers, Jentzen said. "We're taking a closer look at those cases to make sure they're able to metabolize the drug."
The field of pharmacogenomics, as it's known, eventually may be used to explain why some individuals are more prone to harmful or fatal consequences of certain doses or drug combinations than others, he said. "It might open up a whole new area of the law and medicine of driving while impaired."
