Misdiagnosed B12 Deficiency: Know the Symptoms

Thursday, October 27th, 2011

Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) is one of the 13 vitamins our body must have for good health and wellness. It is not only essential for the production of red blood cells but also supports the protection of a healthy nervous system. It is also an essential element in the construction of our DNA. B12 deficiency damages the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves, and nerves of the eye.

In 1934, Whipple, Murphy, and Minot shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their life saving discovery found in liver. The disorder was referred to as “pernicious anemia” because before this discovery, death was inevitable. In 1948, the substance in the liver was isolated and named cobalamin (vitamin B12).

According to a new study by The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G. James Cancer hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute as well as researchers in China, consuming strawberries may be a viable way to help those at risk of esophageal cancer to protect themselves from this serious disease. The study is the first-ever collaborative Ohio State cancer clinical trial to be conducted in China.

Cosmetic Safety – Time To Get Serious

Sunday, August 1st, 2010

According to Michael O’Heaney ”the big cosmetics companies aren’t such big fans of the Safe Cosmetics Act of 2010—legislation recently introduced to require more strict regulation of their business—or of our new movie. The Personal Care Products Council went so far as to issue a statement calling The Story of Cosmetics a ‘repugnant and absurd…shockumentary.’” There’s a good reason the cosmetics industry doesn’t like all the attention it’s getting: for years, they’ve been largely left alone to decide what’s safe to put in their products. You know, things like lead in lipstick. Neurotoxins in body spray. Carcinogens in baby wash.

It’s time that consumers know exactly what is in everything that is put on or in their body. Gone are the days when we should place blind trust and faith in huge manufacturers and corporations to give us safe personal care products and food. We now know that their track record is not one that has come from an interest in consumer safety.

Green Tea Makes a Great Sports Drink

Monday, April 21st, 2008

As the spring and summer seasons descend upon us, many people pick up the pace a bit when it comes to exercising and working out. Heat also becomes more of a factor, so it is even more important to stay properly hydrated. Commercial sports drinks may help to some degree, but they typically contain artificial ingredients that many of us would rather not put into our bodies. A new study indicates that green tea may have excellent benefits specifically geared towards athletes and other active individuals.

Once again, nature shows her tenacity towards providing for our nutritional and health needs without the need for artificial substances. Perhaps the use of green tea, either hot or cold, or a quality green tea supplement, may prove be beneficial, along with ample amounts of pure, clean water. Combine this with excellence in overall nutrition, and it is likely that even the most ambitious athletes will find such choices to be more than adequate for sustaining their bodies while working out.
