  • A Headset That Fights Brain Cancer? Here’s the Device That Doctors Don’t Want to Admit Works

    A Headset That Fights Brain Cancer? Here’s the Device That Doctors Don’t Want to Admit Works

    Brain cancer is one of the most horrible cancers. Its survival rate is currently one of the lowest out of all the cancers. But it seems like a certain company has developed a futuresque way to treat it – wearing electrodes on your head.

    One of the Worst Cancers

    Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is one of the most common and most malignant of brain cancers. Sixty percent of diagnosed primary brain tumors are GBM.

    After diagnosis, almost all GBM patients who decide to go untreated die within only three months. But GBM patients who go through conventional therapy, like chemotherapy and surgery, live for an average of only one year.

    In comparison, most terminal cancer patients live for an average of about five years (including lung cancer patients) after diagnosis – but only 10 percent of GBM patients survive for up to five years after diagnosis.

    A Fiction-like Treatment That Offers Hope but Makes Doctors Suspicious

    Then comes the company Novocure with their controversial new invention called Optune. Like a light in the darkness of GBM, Novocure announces that Optune can double the lifespan of GBM patients. Their findings are backed by research that’s convinced the FDA to approve it as a treatment for GBM.

    Optune is a device consisting of electrodes placed on the patient’s shaved scalp. The electrodes are connected by wires to a small generator within a handheld bag. The patient wears the electrodes for a minimum of 18 hours daily. The electrodes supposedly create alternating electromagnetic fields that interrupt mitosis (your cells’ way of multiplying) by disrupting chromosomes from duplicating. This effectively hinders cancer cells from multiplying since they’re the cells that undergo mitosis the most, whereas most of an adult’s brain cells don’t actively undergo mitosis. Physically, the immediate side effect is that the patient feels a warm sensation, but in the long term, the side effects can also include fatigue, weakness, and skin irritation.

    Without any real discernible mechanism by which the device actually works to fight brain cancer, doctors and the FDA were understandably skeptical. One study in 2011 showed that Optune could lessen cancer symptoms after tumors stopped responding to standard treatment – the FDA allowed its usage for these situations. Then a 2014 study showed that patients recently diagnosed with GBM lived a few months longer, on average, with continued use of the Optune device. In response, the FDA expanded permitted usage of the device.

    In another study, the Optune treatment lengthened 100 percent of the participating GBM patients’ lives by over a year – with one patient living for about three years.

    Some very lucky GBM patients even went into complete remission because of the supplementary Optune treatment.

    But the Optune Treatment Requires Outstanding Diligence

    Even patients who are completely in remission of their GBM need to wear the device daily for the rest of their lives if they want to ensure they stay cancer-free. That can be very challenging – imagine having to shave your head everyday and wear electrodes on your head. Not only that, you need to keep the bag carrying the generator close by at all times – for your whole life.

    Some GBM patients couldn’t handle the daily hassle and quit – despite it keeping them alive longer.

    While Optune may significantly improve the quality of life for many GBM patients and lengthen their stay here on earth – it’s not a sure cure for the brain cancer (except for those lucky enough to go into full remission). Hopefully in the future, researchers will make more advancements that will lead to better and more permanent cancer cures.

  • Can a Group of Viruses Cause Celiac Disease?

    Can a Group of Viruses Cause Celiac Disease?

    Celiac disease is a chronic gastrointestinal disease that can significantly lower your quality of life. Doctors don’t really know what truly causes the disease. Weak evidence points to a couple of probable causes. But now a new study reveals that one cause may be a group of harmless stomach viruses.

    What Is Celiac Disease?

    Celiac disease is actually an autoimmune disorder – like asthma or allergies. Here, your immune system overreacts to gluten when present in your small intestine. It starts attacking contact sites, which are usually your villi. Villi are hair-like linings in your intestines that are responsible for absorbing nutrients when you eat food.

    But this intestinal damage is very gradual. It takes years of eating gluten foods before you notice any symptoms. That’s why only 20 percent or less of sufferers are diagnosed. But if you have Celiac disease, you’ll most likely experience nausea, bloating, diarrhea, weight loss, and nutritional deficiencies as you continue to eat gluten daily. That’s because your villi keep getting damaged to the point that your body can’t absorb necessary nutrients – which leads to malnutrition.

    In America, Celiac disease is rather rare – about 1 percent of Americans (3 million) have it. (But that didn’t stop companies and the general public from making “gluten-free” a lasting fad.)

    Known Causes of Celiac Disease

    Doctors do say that Celiac disease can be genetic – but not significantly. They say that if your immediate family (parents or siblings) have Celiac disease, you’re only 10 percent more likely to develop it too. It’s also more prominent among Caucasians than any other race.




    Some diseases also make you a bit more likely to develop Celiac disease, like Down syndrome, type 1 diabetes, Turner syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, and Addison’s disease. Traumas can also put you at slight risk for Celiac disease – like surgery, viral infections, emotional trauma, and pregnancy.

    A New Possible Cause of Celiac Disease

    Now new research has discovered that there may be a specific virus that can set Celiac disease into motion when you’re a baby. Researchers infected mice with human intestinal reovirus and found the mice started becoming gluten-intolerant – their immune system started overreacting to gluten when it was present in their intestines.

    Researchers then noted that Celiac disease sufferers have higher levels of antibodies against this reovirus than normal people. Does that mean that anyone who’s infected with the human intestinal reovirus ends up with Celiac disease? No. In fact, almost every adult has antibodies against the reovirus because it’s almost as common as the cold virus. The reovirus itself hasn’t been linked to causing any illness – even though it’s been detected in feces of both normal children and children suffering from diarrhea, enteritis, and other GI diseases.

    They theorize that the reovirus is primarily contracted when children get feces into their mouths.

    But remember that Celiac disease is somewhat genetically inherited – and researchers think that’s how the reovirus can indirectly cause Celiac disease. If you’re not genetically susceptible to Celiac disease, getting infected with the reovirus is unlikely to cause Celiac disease.

    But if you’re genetically predisposed, then the reovirus can cause a domino effect. They say that during your first year on earth your immune system is developing and very influencable. Somehow, if the virus infects your gastrointestinal system and your immune system learns to fend it off, it also confuses it to forever overreact to gluten (if you’re genetically predisposed).

    Because of this, researchers advise getting infants who are genetically predisposed to Celiac disease vaccinated for the human intestinal reovirus during their first year. They say this may curb the possibility of reovirus-induced Celiac disease, but it’s not a 100 percent certainty.

  • Can You Get Hepatitis From Your Food? Another Reason to Stay Away From Fast Food

    Can You Get Hepatitis From Your Food? Another Reason to Stay Away From Fast Food

    You’ve probably heard of hepatitis being a chronic sexually transmitted disease that’s incurable. There are actually many types of hepatitis infections – and at least one of them you can get from eating contaminated food!

    The Different Types of Hepatitis

    The World Health Organization (WHO) defines hepatitis as an inflammation of the liver. But the term is usually used synonymously for infections caused by the hepatitis viruses.

    There are five common types of hepatitis viruses:

    • Hepatitis A (HAV)
    • Hepatitis B (HBV)
    • Hepatitis C (HCV)
    • Hepatitis D (HDV)
    • Hepatitis E (HEV)

    HBV, HCV, and HDV are the types that can be transmitted sexually. Like other STDs, these can also be transmitted via mother-child through birth, contaminated needles between drug users, and contaminated blood transfusions.

    Hepatitis D and Hepatitis B are treatable and preventable with vaccines. But Hepatitis C has no current vaccine, but the good news is HCV is the least common sexually transmitted hepatitis virus. HBV is the most common sexually transmitted hepatitis infection.

    Hepatitis infections can be acute or chronic. Most times they’re acute – lasting only for a few weeks without any symptoms. If you do experience symptoms, for most of the types of hepatitis, the symptoms usually include fatigue, loss of appetite, stomach and abdominal pains or discomfort, nausea, jaundice, and fever.

    But Hepatitis C can have more severe symptoms, like the tendency to bleed and bruise, dark-colored urine, edema, confusion, drunken speech, and spider-like blood vessels appearing on your skin.

    The good news is, if your body completely fights off a Hepatitis B infection, or you get vaccinated for Hepatitis B, then it protects you from both future HBV and Hepatitis D infections too! You can only get Hepatitis D if you’re currently infected with HBV. If you clear HBV on your own, your body will forever be immune to the virus because it’s now got antibodies especially crafted to deal with it – and if you can’t get HBV anymore, then you can’t get HDV anymore either.

    But a dual infection of HBV and HDV can be fatal – in fact, millions of people die every year from HBV complications.




    The Types of Hepatitis You Can Get From Contaminated Food

    Recently in the news, some restaurant staff at two Portland cafes may have transmitted HAV between each other. Unlike HBV, HCV, and HDV, Hepatitis A and Hepatitis E viruses are present in feces. That means if someone who’s infected doesn’t wash their hands before preparing food, they can contaminate food and drink with HAV or HEV. The good news is that HAV and HEV are usually acute, and most people make a full recovery without any medical intervention.

    The restaurant staff were all vaccinated after the possible hepatitis transmission came to light. The Multnomah County Health Department issued a news announcement that anyone who ate or drank at the two restaurants within the week are urged to see their doctor to get examined for Hepatitis A.

    How to Naturally Fight Hepatitis Infections

    Thankfully, it’s only Hepatitis C that’s currently medically incurable because of the lack of vaccine. Although all hepatitis infections run the risk of chronic infection, they’re all curable.

    If you come down with hepatitis, you can be proactive in helping your body kick the infection and lower its chances of going chronic.

    Here are a few hepatitis-fighting supplements you can take:

    Vitamin C. Researchers found that vitamin C boosts your immune system’s virus-fighting power. Some of the evidence they’ve found includes increased defense against the flu and the Epstein-Barr virus. Vitamin C also protects your liver from damage from the hepatitis infection by boosting your glutathione levels. Your liver needs glutathione for its detoxification processes and your immune system needs it to fight off viruses. Upping your glutathione levels can help protect your liver from a cirrhosis complication arising from the hepatitis infection.

    Methanol extract from the fruit of the Indian gooseberry. Researchers say that the methanol extract from Emblica officinalis has potent antiviral effects. It’s used in Cuban traditional medicine to help treat HBV and HAV.

    Neem leaf extract. Each of the neem tree’s parts has many healing properties. Extracts of its leaves have antiviral properties. These extracts are used in traditional medicine, and studies show that they inhibit viral proliferation.

    Now you know you can get hepatitis from more than just unprotected sex. Thankfully, food-transmittable hepatitis infections aren’t as overall serious as sexually transmitted hepatitis infections. If you’re unfortunate enough to contract hepatitis, try these two remedies to help ensure your infection lasts acutely and doesn’t develop into a chronic infection.

  • Scientists Are Experimenting With Something Yucky to Make You Immune to H1N1

    Scientists Are Experimenting With Something Yucky to Make You Immune to H1N1

    Researchers found a possible substance that may significantly advance current immunization to the H1N1 flu. But you might not want it if you knew what it was – it’s frog mucus!

    H1N1 – The Modern Deadly Influenza Outbreak

    H1N1, commonly known as the swine flu, caused a huge panic in 2009. This strain of the flu virus isn’t a cousin of the usual flu virus strains that infect people during the flu seasons. It’s a mutated strain that’s closer genetically to the flu virus strains that infect swine (which is how it got its nickname).

    What makes the H1N1 virus so devastating is that it multiplies faster than normal flu viruses and attacks other kinds of cells in the lungs that most flu viruses couldn’t target. The H1N1 strain also targets younger people, whereas the usual flu virus strains targets the frail and older generation.

    H1N1 quickly became the dominant flu virus strain that infected people – pushing out the previous generation strain almost completely. In fact, by October 2009 between 92 to 96 percent of circulating flu virus specimens were H1N1.

    Within about three or four months of the first few reported incidents of H1N1 virus infections in 2009, H1N1 spread globally and the World Health Organization declared it a pandemic. In the beginning there was no vaccine for the fatal flu virus strain. A total of up to 89 million people ended up infected with the H1N1 virus and over 18,366 people died form it. The H1N1 epidemic also caused up to 403,000 hospitalizations.

    Frogs Might Be the Key to Better Immunization Against H1N1

    Scientists are looking closely at a specie of southern India frog that’s as big as a tennis ball. They found that the mucus these frogs secrete on the surface of their skins contains a chemical that targets a specific protein on all H1 strain viruses.

    When the frog mucus chemical, called urumin, comes into contact with an H1-type virus, it attacks an integral protein that causes the virus to fall apart. Scientists were shocked that urumin works on all H1-type flu virus strains going back from 1931 to the present H1 strains in circulation.

    Of course it’s too soon to celebrate. This is cutting-edge research that will take years before a safe human application is developed. They’re going to start testing urumin-based treatments on ferrets first, then move on to clinical trials later on.

    The good news is that insofar, urumin seems to be non-toxic to human cells. But only time and more testing can tell whether it’s completely safe for human application.

    Flu Prevention Tips

    In the meantime, if you’re at risk for being significantly harmed should you contract the flu, then it’s best to get the flu vaccine. Doctors say the flu vaccine is the best effective method to prevent influenza infections. But vaccines have side effects, and the flu vaccine is no exception.

    If you’re not at risk for significant harm from an influenza infection, you can lower your risk of infection by taking a few supplements. There is an age-old debate around whether vitamin C and zinc can prevent colds and flus – some research says no while others say yes. Doctors do agree that vitamin C lowers the severity and length of a cold or flu infection. The same goes for zinc.

    Vitamin D has also been correlated with cold and flu infection. Researchers found that when a population’s vitamin D levels are lower, there’s an increased prevalence of cold and flu infection. There’s some evidence that taking 50,000 IU of Vitamin D3 once can shorten the length of the flu to only two or three days. They also found that taking 600 IU of vitamin D3 daily can help prevent colds and flus.

    Until the frog mucus treatment comes out, take these three supplements (zinc, vitamin C, and vitamin D) to boost your protection against the flu and cold.

  • Having Worry-free Beach Fun: How to Avoid Jellyfish and Treat Stings

    Having Worry-free Beach Fun: How to Avoid Jellyfish and Treat Stings

    When you think of fatally poisonous animals, surely large snakes and black spiders with bad tattoos flash through your mind. However, did you know that the box jellyfish, Chironex fleckeri, is in the top 10 of earth’s most venomous creatures? Its venom can kill a person within 15 minutes. A swarm of them almost stopped pro swimmer Diana Nyad from completing her swim from Florida to Cuba. Even if you don’t swim near the Indo-Pacific waters, be aware of balloon-like objects in the water around you when going to the beach this summer.

    Avoiding jellyfish and protecting yourself from being stung

    You can reduce your risk of getting stung by jellyfish if you swim at beaches manned by lifeguards. Lifeguards often raise a purple flag or verbally announce warnings when jellyfish are present in the immediate surrounding waters.

    Most jellyfish, except for the box jellyfish, are immobile and simply float in the sea carried by waves and the wind. Out of abundance of precaution, don’t swim if the wind is blowing from the sea toward the shore since there’s a higher likelihood that jellyfish are being carried toward the shore.

    While swimming, stay a few yards away from balloon-like transparent objects near the surface of the water. Jellyfish tentacles, which house their stinger cells (nematocysts), are long and can extend many feet away from their main balloon-like body.

    Full-body swimsuits can protect you from most jellyfish stings. However, Portuguese man o’war’s stingers can penetrate rubber suits. Special topical sprays can prevent nematocysts from firing when making contact with your skin — Diana Nyad used one of these to successfully protect her bare skin from box jellyfish during her Florida-Cuba swim.




    What to do if you’ve been stung

    Jellyfish stings leave a painful, burning, stinging sensation. Don’t follow your initial reaction to run cold freshwater over the wound. Jellyfish are native to the sea, and their nematocysts are comfortable in seawater. Any nematocysts on your skin which haven’t fired their stingers might fire them if bombarded with shocking, unfamiliar freshwater. Wash the wound with seawater instead, then flush and soak it profusely with vinegar, isopropyl alcohol, or other disinfecting agent for 10 minutes.

    After killing the nematocysts with disinfectant, remove any jellyfish tentacles still on your skin. Don’t try to remove them with bare hands before disinfecting since any unfired nematocysts will simply sting your hands – but you’re best off using tweezers.

    Soak the wound in hot water for half an hour to relieve the pain. You can also use cold packs, papaya fruit paste, and citrus juice.

    If you’re allergic to jellyfish venom, have epinephrine shots and antihistamines available. Get emergency medical help immediately if you start experiencing difficulty breathing, extreme inflammation, or other signs of severe allergic reaction.

    Don’t let jellyfish ruin your summertime beach fun. Avoid getting painful stings by staying away from balloon-like objects in the water and not swimming when you see the lifeguard’s purple flags or when you see that the wind blowing from sea to shore. If you do get stung, treat the wound with seawater and vinegar, not tap water!

    Medicinal antibiotics are often expensive and have potentially harmful side effects. If you have a mild bacterial, fungal, or viral infection try taking some natural pathogen-fighting foods first before seeing your doctor.

    Many healthy foods have antibiotic, antifungal, and antiviral properties. They’ve been used in traditional medicine to treat assortments of illnesses and current medical research proves their pathogen-fighting efficacy. If you have a mild infection try taking these foods:
