Could cancer screening have saved Joe Paterno?

The death of Joe Paterno, the former Penn State University football coach, last week again brought attention to cancer screening. The media reported that Paterno died of lung cancer. Actually, he died because of the treatment he received for his lung cancer. It seems like today’s cancer treatments actually kill more people now than the cancer. Of course, they always attribute the death to cancer.

Regardless, the media always bring the attention back to the importance of cancer screening. But would screening have saved Paterno’s life? Will it save your life? The answer may surprise you.

Why salmon protects your brain

On Wednesday, I showed you how cinnamon can help prevent and treat Alzheimer’s. I also showed you several other nutrients that have brain-protecting properties. But there’s one relatively unknown nutrient that I didn’t mention. And according to a new study, this super nutrient can have a dramatic impact on the health of your brain.

The researchers conducted this fantastic study on humans! They noted that people getting dementia had higher levels of rancid fatty acids in their blood cell phospholipids. They set to lower that damage with the nutrient astaxanthin.

New study proves you can cure diabetes

When I tell people they can cure diabetes without drugs or the help of a doctor, they usually roll their eyes and think I’m making it up. But I’m not. I’ve seen it happen all too many times. Now a new study finally is verifying what I have been saying.

In this new study, the researchers examined the effect of a new drug that consists of a combination of two drugs. This new medication is a controlled-release combination of phentermine, an appetite suppressant, and topiramate, an anticonvulsant. The net effect of the drugs is to reduce appetite so people eat less.
