Dental X-rays tied to brain tumors

(NaturalHealth365) Is your dentist harming your health? You may be surprised to learn that dental x-rays could be a threat to your life. If you’re concerned about disease prevention – keep reading before your next dental appointment.

Routine dental exams could increase your risk of cancer

The newest and largest study of its kind found that a history of frequent dental X rays, particularly at a young age, is tied to an increased risk of developing meningioma, the most common type of primary brain tumor in the United States. In fact, dental x-rays are among the most common sources of radiation for most people in the U.S.

Exposure to ionized radiation – the type found in x-rays is the largest known risk factor for developing the largely non-malignant meningioma brain tumors. The new study shows that performing frequent dental x-rays presents an unnecessary risk to those that are exposed to them. Keep in mind, if your dentist makes you feel “uncomfortable” about your health concerns (or questions) – get another dentist!

Non-malignant tumors should NOT be taken lightly

While the vast majority of meningiomas are non-malignant, they can grow to be very large and cause a host of problems which include hearing and vision loss, frequent headaches, memory loss, and seizures. This is the most frequently diagnosed brain tumor among adults in the United States and accounts for a third of all primary brain and central nervous system tumors.

In a newly published study, from the American Cancer Society’s journal – Cancer, (the largest of its kind) it was reported that people having “bitewing” x-rays at least yearly were found to have a 40% to 90% greater risk of meningioma. The bitewing x-rays are the one used to check for decay between the teeth and any periodontal disease. The meningioma patients in the study were more then twice as likely to have dental x-rays at some point in their lives as the adults without these tumors.

X-Rays are a recipe for disaster

The American Dental Association (ADA) responded to the study in a written statement, noting the ADA has long called on its members to order dental x-rays only when necessary. To minimize radiation exposure, the groups recommends using protective aprons and collars and use of the fastest film speeds available or a digital x-ray. Does your dentist follow these guidelines? (be careful)

We all know that poor dental health is created by poor eating habits. So why don’t dentists talk to you about nutrition? The simple answer is – they don’t know what to say.

Conventional dentistry (generally speaking) profits from your poor health. They offer toxic radiation, root canals, mercury fillings plus much more! (Is this what you want?)

Let’s not forget the fact that the development of most conditions including dental problems are caused by nutritional deficiencies and toxic overload. Never give up your right to choose your own healthcare path. Find a holisitc dentist (in your area) and discover a better way to acheive optimal health.

The hidden (sick) agenda behind chemtrails

(NaturalHealth365) We, the people, are under attack by a small group of mad scientists, out-of-control government agencies and profit-seeking billionaires pretending to “save the earth” from global warming. These “global control-freaks” want to manipulate weather patterns – in order to dominate the Earth’s resources. In reality, military programs like HAARP and chemtrails which over-heat the atmosphere and poison the sky (and farmland) seriously threaten all life on this planet. (keep reading – only with an open mind)

What if global warming was just a hoax or worse? Are these toxic substances in chemtrails, GMO’s and vaccines being (deliberately) created to reduce the world population?

Biological weapons of mass destruction and control revealed

According to many geo-scientists, the chemtrail program consists of spraying 10 to 20 million tons of aluminum oxide, barium, and other chemicals including arsenic, cadmium, and lead into the atmosphere to cool down the planet. This program, also known as “Project Cloverleaf”, is one of the most secretive programs within the airline industry of the United States. But, many of the pilots don’t even know what (or why) they are actually spraying!

Naturally, the question you have to ask is: why are they doing this to us?

Simply put, weather control (through chemtrail spraying) can be used as a weapon against any country or government by creating drought and famine. Obviously, this would destroy the ability of a nation to grow food and remain independent. Once a country is desperate for food, it allows other governments to impose their rule and authority in exchange for rain or other resources.

More (shocking) news about weather manipulation programs

In October 2011, scientists from around the world gathered in Orlando, Florida for the American Association for Aerosol Research conference. Most importantly, there was a lecture called: “Aerosols, Clouds and Precipitation”. These (crazy) scientists discussed how different aerosols (toxic materials) could create cloud cover to reflect sunlight away from the earth and increase (or decrease) rain fall in certain regions of the world.

Who benefits from weather modification and weather control programs? Consider this: Since 1997, weather has been traded as a commodity at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. Many experts agree, this is exactly when geo-engineering programs rose in popularity. Since commodities are directly affected by the weather – predicting these trends could be very profitable to those individuals who have the ability to control or manipulate our weather.

Thank you for these programs, bless your heart! Love and peace, Marisa

Free energy has arrived (the shocking truth revealed)

(NaturalHealth365) Make no mistake about it – FREE energy is available (right now) to each and every human being on the planet. Naturally, you may be thinking “if free energy does exist – why isn’t it being offered to the public?” Many expert inventors have come to the same conclusion – it’s simply too dangerous to go public!

The greedy (global elite), conventional media outlets and puppet politicians have actively prevented this technology from gaining popularity. But, the truth is, there are solutions to our corporately-manufactured energy crisis. Find out how to be a part of the solution – Simply click the banner “free shows” on the right column of this page, enter your email address and you’ll receive show details plus a FREE 7-Day juice cleanse!

“This information coming out would completely change geo-political power more than anything in human history.” – Steven Greer, Disclosure and Orion Projects

What is “FREE ENERGY”?

Foster Gamble, co-creator of the documentary film THRIVE says, “In an era of oil wars, gas price manipulation, fossil fuel pollution and economic collapse, it’s hard to imagine many more provocative terms than “Free Energy”.

“So what does “free energy” mean? First, like “free air”, it’s available anywhere, for anyone. Energy is endlessly available without burning or exploding anything. Second, though devices would necessarily cost something to make and to buy, they would make energy access so inexpensive as to dramatically raise the quality of life for everyone.”

The shocking truth you were never taught in school

Free energy devices have been talked about since the Ark of the Covenant and beyond. The Ark is the primary physical artifact treasured by the 3 major religions of the West – Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Many researchers, like Graham Hancock have concluded that the Ark was not a repository of Moses mystical tablets, but something much more real and practical – an electric capacitor box!

Sadly, many inventors are being relentlessly and brutally suppressed by the financial elite, national governments, and dishonest inventors. For example, in the early 20th Century, Nikola Tesla tapped into what he called “radiant energy”. He was planning to offer this technology to the world but his financier, J.P. Morgan, did not want to risk the fortune he was making off the copper mines which provided the wires for conducting electricity – so he shut Tesla down.

This week’s guest: Foster Gamble, Creator of the documentary film THRIVE

Foster Gamble will talk about free energy solutions plus much more – Thu. Mar. 22

At age 14, Foster Gamble had a vision where he glimpsed what he perceived to be the Universe’s fundamental energy pattern. He spent the next 35 years trying to figure out the details and implications of what he had seen. That quest took two paths: a scientific journey and an exploration of the human potential to navigate successfully through the challenges threatening our survival.

Furthering his exploration of what was keeping humanity from thriving, Foster spent nearly a decade “following the money” in every sector of human endeavor. The process revealed an understanding of our predicament that led him to create the strategic solutions offered in THRIVE. Foster’s exploration of “living geometry” – how nature builds the “material” world, came to fruition in 1997 when he co-convened the Sequoia Symposium, a multi-disciplinary scientific think tank exploring perspectives on “Unification Theory.”

Nanoparticles may destroy your intestines

(NaturalHealth365) Nanoparticles can change the rate at which nutrients are absorbed, while remodeling the intestinal villi-this is the intestinal lining which is crucial for vitamin and mineral absorption. These small particles have been shown to damage the intestines by making them vulnerable to toxins.

The emerging nanoparticle market includes: nutraceuticals, cosmetics, clothes, soda, snacks and vitamins. Nanoparticles development is progressing without the slightest idea of how these particles will impact human health, and there is proof that this is one case where it is best to imagine the worst.

Since nanoparticles are everywhere the research looking into the down side is a little late. The risks are out there and by forging ahead with their development there’s no time for a learning curve.

Research Shows Some Disturbing Results

Researchers at Binghamton University and Cornell University in a paper published in the journal Nature Nanotechnology found these tiny particles, even in low doses, may have an impact on our long-term health.

According to lead author of the article, Gretchen Mahler, assistant professor of bioengineering at Binghamton University, researchers wanted to know what happens when someone is constantly in contact with nanoparticles in small doses. This is the amount you get if you take a drug or supplement that contained some nanoparticles.

“We thought that the best way to measure the more subtle effects of this kind of intake was to monitor the reaction of intestinal cells,” said Mahler. “And we did this in two ways – in vitro, through human intestinal-lining cells that we had cultured in the lab; and in vivo, through the intestinal linings of live chickens. Both sets of results pointed to the same thing – that exposure to nanoparticles influence the absorption of nutrients into the bloodstream.”

The uptake of iron, an essential nutrient was the focus due to the way it is absorbed and processed through the intestines. “What we found was that for brief exposures, iron absorption dropped by about 50 percent,” said Mahler. “But when we extended that period of time, absorption actually increased by about 200 percent. It was very clear – nanoparticles definitely affect iron uptake and transport.”

While acute oral exposure caused disruptions to intestinal iron transport, chronic exposure caused a remodeling of the intestinal villi – the tiny, finger-like projections that are vital to the intestine’s ability to absorb nutrients – making them larger and broader, thus allowing iron to enter the bloodstream much faster.

“The intestinal cells are a gateway that ingested nanoparticles must go through to get to the body,” said Mahler. Also, he stated that the team is ready to look at the possibility of similar problems with calcium, copper, zinc and fat-soluble vitamins A,D,E and K.

“The gastrointestinal tract of chickens have very similar features to that of humans,” said Mahler. “We can learn a great deal from the way chicken tissue works which means we can make better predictions about how humans will react.”

Let’s not support these companies

The study demonstrated the change in the intestinal wall, while also showing changes in the spleen and liver of the chickens. The dose of nonoparticles fed to the chickens was the equivalent to the normal exposure most people get every day.

Humans are estimated to consume about 100 trillion nanoparticles a day. As they become increasingly common in food and pharmaceutical products the risks of chronic exposure will present some serious challenges, since these particles are thought to promote a wide range of conditions including Crohn’s disease.

Avoiding nanoparticles isn’t easy, they are abundant in household and personal care products such as air fresheners, cleaning products, sun screens, creams, cosmetics, commercial vitamins, and on kitchen cutting boards.

For a healthier future use naturally derived products, and eliminate chemically formulated ones. When enough of us do this billions of dollars will be lost to an industry that doesn’t cross their T’s and dot their I’s before they bombard us with profit making innovation.

New cancer treatments fail to save lives

(NaturalHealth365) Scientist are reporting what could be a giant set back in the race for a cancer cure. Customized cancer treatments based on each person’s genes was to be the newest way to conquer cancer.

Doctors have been offering genetic testing to patients for several years, and have pinned their hopes on finding the needle in the haystack.

There is a database of results on nearly 4,000 tumor samples. So far 40 percent of breast cancers have discrepancies between which genes are active in the main tumor and which ones are active where the cancer has spread.

Also, the scientists have discovered big differences from place to place in the same tumor as to which genes are active or mutated. This means the single biopsies, which doctors rely on to choose drugs are probably not giving them the information to make an informed choice.

This muddled picture gives researches no clue on how to individualize treatment. There are about 15 medicines on the market now and hundreds in the pipe lines, but so far they have had very limited success. The logical conclusion is this testing will fail to save lives.

Healthcare costs skyrocket and offer no help

It costs 5,000 to 10,000 to do basic gene analysis of the main tumor, and about 10 times as much to do the kind of testing that these scientists did.

Studies show that the single biopsy, which is the cornerstone of personalized-medicine decisions, and the view that you can direct therapy on the basis of genetic tumor markers, is too simple.

The single biopsy would reveal only a minority of mutations. The tumor can adapt to cancer medicines, even the ones that are specific. The cancer industry has no idea if doing more biopsies would improve accuracy, or how many or how often they should be done.

Dr. Gordon Mills, co-director of the Institute for Personalized Cancer Therapy knows this is important. This is the problem as he sees it; in the future scientist will find out a lot of information and will not know what to do with it.

“There will be times when one biopsy suggests a certain mutation is driving the cancer and another biopsy suggest a different one is.”

Genetic Testing is witnessing a period of profound growth; let’s say in the $10 billion dollar range. Phamacogenomics is the most lucrative segment of genetic testing. With the rising number of cancer patients it is expected that genetically tailored personalized drugs will grow rapidly over the next few years along with your cancer.

A better way

Epigenetic is the science that tells us all genes either turn on or off based on their environment. Lifestyle choices have been shown to be the most effective way in preventing and reversing cancer. Currently, many holistic doctors are curing people of cancer for a fraction of the cost with no deadly side effects.

The continual failure of modern medicine is forcing people to look elsewhere for answers. When enough people demand something better from their healthcare provider medicine will have to respond.

Diabetic pump is a failure

(NaturalHealth365) The real story is diabetic pumps fail to treat type 2 diabetes. These mechanical contraptions are not healing miracles. The bottom line is they adjust sugar levels by releasing insulin, so people can indulge in snacks and meals without eliminating the cause of their condition.

Do Insulin Pumps promote healthy living

Insulin pumps are the size of a cell phone, which automatically inject small amounts of insulin through a tiny needle under the skin. This works throughout the day to keep blood sugar at safe levels. The patient programs the device to inject additional insulin right before a meal or snack based on the amount of carbohydrates about to be consumed.

They seem like an easy and convenient way to manage sugar levels. Manage is the key word here. This kind of device will not support a healthy lifestyle for most people. We see people on all you can eat restaurants lines, on cruises, and in an office environment wearing the pumps while eating donuts, cakes, cookies, and a mile long hero.

This is not to say everyone does that, but it sure makes it easier to indulge. This may be a way to eat garbage, and forget the reason you have diabetes. Food choices are everything, this device allows obesity and cheeseburgers on a regular bases. The bottom line you become dependent on a mechanical device to do what you are capable of doing yourself.

“By using an insulin pump, you can match your insulin to your lifestyle, rather than adjusting your lifestyle to your body’s response to insulin injections.” “People of all ages with type 1 diabetes use insulin pumps, and people with type 2 diabetes have started to use them as well.” This is quote from the American Diabetes Association.

Faulty devices sold to the public

Federal regulators reprimanded Johnson & Johnson for selling faulty insulin pumps and delaying disclosures of serious injuries to diabetics using them.

In a warning letter posted online by the FDA, the agency wrote that J & J Animas Corp never reported on one case of serious patient injury and delayed reporting on two others. These patients were hospitalized with dangerously high blood sugar, respiratory failure and coma, and a life-threatening complication called diabetic ketoaciddosis that’s caused by lack of insulin to break down blood sugar.

The company said it didn’t report the three patient incidents to the FDA as required within 30 days because they involved patients not using the pumps according to directions. In another separate issue, some of the pumps keypads for controlling how much insulin is injected have been deteriorating prematurely, leading to pump failure.

The bottom line is upgrades of mechanical devices will not make up for eating healthy, exercising and taking control of your own life. The first line of defense is the body’s own natural healing abilities when given the right tools. An insulin pump is not a healing tool.

Type 2 diabetes is a disease of modern living, and the insulin pump is the answer in America. What is forgotten is everything you eat your life depends on. By eliminating that from the equation, the insulin pump may be doing as much harm as good.

Government run technologies that control our life experience

(NaturalHealth365) Should government run agencies manipulate the weather, cause earthquakes and destroy the atmosphere? More importantly, if the public found out what was really going on – how would we stop it? This may sound like a bad, science-fiction novel – but our planet is under attack – and the evidence is shocking!

The NaturalNews Talk Hour presents “HAARP and Mind Control Technology” with our special guest Dr. Nick Begich, well known for his work and research on HAARP, “Mind Effects” plus much more!

Keep reading (below) to learn more about “HAARP”. (it’s crazy)

“Thank you so much, Jonathan. You’ve had so many good guests!” – Esther

The basics about HAARP

According to Dr. Begich, “HAARP will zap the upper atmosphere with a focused and steerable electromagnetic beam. It is an advanced model of an “ionospheric heater”. The ionosphere is the electrically-charged sphere surrounding Earth’s upper atmosphere. It ranges between 40 to 60 miles above the surface of the Earth.”

“Put simply, the apparatus for HAARP is a reversal of a radio telescope; an antenna that sends out signals instead of receiving. HAARP is the test run for a super-powerful radiowave-beaming technology that lifts areas of the ionosphere by focusing a beam and heating those areas. Electromagnetic waves then bounce back onto earth and penetrate everything – living and dead.”

Make no mistake – the military is involved with HAARP technology and there is much more behind its capabilities and practical applications.

HAARP possibilities are insane

Related research by Begich and Manning uncovered bizarre schemes related to HAARP. Did you know there are U.S. Air Force documents revealing a system that is being developed for manipulating and disturbing human mental processes through pulsed radio-frequency radiation (like HAARP) over large geographical areas.

Don’t believe this? The most telling material about this technology came from writings of Zbigniew Brzezinski. (former National Security Advisory to U.S. President Carter)

The following statement was made by Brezinski while a professor at Columbia University:

“Political strategists are tempted to exploit research on the brain and human behavior. Geophysicist Gordon J.F. MacDonald, a specialist in problems of warfare, says accurately-timed, artificially-excited electronic strokes could lead to a pattern of oscillations that produce relatively high power levels over certain regions of the earth … in this way one could develop a system that would seriously impair the brain performance of very large populations in selected regions over an extended period”

” … no matter how deeply disturbing the thought of using the environment to manipulate behavior for national advantages, to some, the technology permitting such use will very probably develop within the next few decades.”

HPV vaccination real dangers

(NaturalHealth365) The real danger has to do with the attitude of the pharmaceutical company. There isn’t any major benefit from this vaccination that would make it a medical requirement.

The consolidation of knowledge about the HPV vaccination shows it is less valuable for the public’s health and more valuable for the bottom line of the vaccine manufacturer.

Payload

The American Academy of Pediatrics says boys should be routinely vaccinated against the human papilliomavirus (HPV), a common virus spread through sexual contact. Routine vaccination of boys against HPV will help stop a common virus that is spread through sexual contact. This will protect the boys themselves and females against the types of HPV virus that can lead to disease and cancer.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and prevention (CDC) says it’s important for children to get vaccinated at age 11 to 12, when antibody production peaks in the body. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) also, notes that the series can start as early as age 9. This reflects the current recommendations by the FDA. The price for the series of HPV vaccination is just under $400 and these agencies seal of approval will ensure that the vaccine is profitable.

Dangers

The doctor doesn’t need to be in to realize this is going to take any parent out of their comfort zone. The boys will experience the same side effects as the girls. Gardasil has been associated with Guillain-Barre syndrome, pancreatitis, seizures, paralysis and blood clots in the heart, lungs, and legs among other things. However, Merck will remind you; the majority of the time it just brings about pain at the infection site and fainting.

What they forget to mention is the vaccine hasn’t been used long enough to know of any future problems.

When the FDA approved Gardasil’s use for girls and women in 2006, Merck was taken to task for the aggressive lobbying to get states to make inoculation a requirement for pre-teenage girls. They may feel compelled to protect a 9 year old from sexually transmitted disease. Another, way to look at it: probably a lot more realistic, Merck generated revenues in the billions from the sale of this vaccine.

Just because Gardasil is approved for boys does not mean it is a good idea. John Barron’s quote “Never Mind that genital warts are about as common among middle-school boys as opera buffs.” This says it all. About 1% of sexually active males in the U.S. develop genital warts from an HPV infection. These are treatable and are not life threatening.

The Real Dangers

Gardasil dangers are well known and under reported. As of May 1, 2009 more than 24 million doses of Gardasil have been distributed in this country. There have been nearly 14,000 adverse events reported to Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). This is only the officially reported cases. Ninety-three percent of the reported events were considered to be non-life threatening. These were fainting, headache, or fever. Seven percent were considered to be serious enough for hospitalization. Included in the serious cases were thirty-nine women who paid the ultimate price for being a human guinea pig.

Merck studied the vaccine in fewer than 1200 girls under age 16 and the majority of the serious problems and deaths happened in that period, these were the pre-license clinical trials and all events were considered coincidental, just like the future profits from Gardasil will be coincidental.

A new study finds that millions of the girls and women, who had the shots, are at an increased risk of developing blood clots and other complications. The real problem is no one is sure it even works. The vaccine does give some immunity against ( HPV) human papillomavirus, but there is no data that will tell if cervical cancer will be adverted in the vaccinated group. It will take 20 years for cervical cancer to develop following HPV infection. The fact is there is no research that indicates that the vaccine is protective past 5 years.

The agencies, which had an about-face, had plenty of questions about the safety and effectiveness of this vaccine when it was first unloaded on the public. What makes them now trust a vaccine with a corrosive mix of out and out greed, and a formula that could possible kill the patient?

Radiation poses lifetime danger

(NaturalHealth365) The cancer industry of today is still using high doses of radiation. Even with the refinement and diminished exposure radiation still has lethal side effects.

Radiation oncology is one of the specialties in the field of cancer treatment. It is used with the intent of killing cancer cells. Also, it is used as a way to cure cancer according to medical standards. If a cure isn’t the likely outcome then it is used to control the disease.

Radiation used to treat cancer is called ionizing radiation. This is because it forms ions as it goes through a tissue. Ions are atoms that have an electric charge. Ions can cause the cell to be killed or cause genetic changes both directly and indirectly. The effect is a change in the DNA which means a molecular change has occurred.

Radiation has a direct influence on the cell nucleus. By radiating the cancerous area cancer cells are damaged and destroyed. At the same time radiation has an effect on the healthy cells. What it does is mutate the genes in the nucleus of these healthy cells, and makes it easier for them to develop into cancer. Radiation therapy is commonly used to treat cancerous tumors.

Radiation Dangers

Since radiation therapy is considered an important part of treating certain cancers, the side effects should be addressed. Some of the effects of radiation are well known, and others aren’t known. The real problem is the treatment to eradicate the cancer brings about a host of other problems.

Radiation fields even when pinpointing the tumor may include lymph nodes, which are considered a risk to the spreading of the disease. Also, it is considered necessary to include a margin of normal tissue to allow for the possibility of spreading or just to allow for the tumors internal motion.

Ionizing radiation increases the likelihood of a secondary cancer. The thyroid gland and bone marrow are sensitive to radiation. This is why leukemia’s can appear a few years after radiation treatments. This is a cancer which arises in the bone marrow.

There are other cancers, which can result from radiation exposure and may take from 10 to 15 years to manifest. These are quite significant cancers and are hard to treat. The list includes: lung cancer, skin cancer, thyroid cancer, multiple myeloma, breast cancer, and stomach cancer. Almost any cancer can be linked back to radiation exposure.

Radiation Damage

Radiation damage is less understood by the public. The breakdown of the side effects and the risk to the patient is something that needs to be explained. The short and long term damage is a relevant topic, as this is what will affect everyday life for the patient.

The patient treated with radiation therapy can develop radiation pneumonits, which is a lung inflammation, which causes cough, shortness of breath and fevers anywhere from three to nine months after completing treatment. This is a short term issue that may resolve in a relatively short time or take an extensive period to resolve.

Radiation therapy used on lymph nodes can increase the risk of lymph edema or arm swelling. This has been seen in breast cancer patients. Radiation to the lymph notes in the armpit area can cause numbness, tingling and pain with a loss of strength in the hand and arm.

Radiation can cause a breakdown of the skin in the area. Radiation therapy has a long history of use to treat breast cancer. The real problem occurs because the damage to the genes nucleus causes the expression of pro-inflammatory factors. When the cancer cells are damaged by radiation and destroyed the inflammation spreads to healthy cells in the area.

This may be one of the reasons that high doses of radiation delivered to the chest increase the risk of heart disease.

Protecting Yourself

There are times that patients will utilize radiation therapy. The procedure is recommended and those that choose to use this protocol should at least understand what they can do to protect themselves. Also, it is critical to determine how effective radiation is for each type of cancer. Many times it is used without considering the fact that it isn’t very effective for certain cancers.

Before doing anything it is important to find out what preserves optimal health. The same things that support good health support you when you opt for treatment. Cancer is a systemic, not a localized condition. About 80% of your genetic predisposition is either activated or held in check by what you do. So if you use radiation as a treatment it is important to realize that cancer cells are still in your body and taking care is still the most protective mechanism for long term survival and good health.

The placebo effect is powerful medicine

(NaturalHealth365) The placebo effect is nothing to sneeze at, it may be the working capital, which creates healing. Most primary care doctors along with patients assume that the purple pill sets the stage for healing possibilities. There is the visible and the not so visible, which directs the outcome. The force that determines the outcome only you can direct. For that you need motivation, belief and action.

Research

Researchers used the placebo effect to successfully treat psoriasis patients with one quarter to one half of their usual doses of a prescribed steroid medication. This is according to a study published online in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine. This suggested to the researchers that this new technique could help treat other chronic disease such as: asthma, multiple sclerosis and chronic pain.

Steroids are a nasty bunch of drugs, since the side effects make it a poor choice for long term treatment. New treatments in the future can now mix active drug and placebo. Researchers at the university of Rochester Medical Center hope to maximize drug benefits and reduce side effects.

The publication is a product of decades of research in the emerging field of “psychoneuro-immunology,” which holds that the ability of the human immune system to fight disease is closely linked with a person’s mind. Thoughts and moods are captured in neurochemicals that cause the release of hormones which interact with disease-fighting cells.

Placebo

Placebo studies are the gold standard of medical research and are also called double-bind studies. Placebo-controlled clinical trials, are where you give one group of patients a medicine you want to test and other a dummy pill, which hasn’t any active ingredients without the patients knowledge.

The roots of the placebo effect can be traced backed eons and is a part of many cultures healing practices. The roots of the way modern medicine uses this seems to go back to World War Two. A nurse assisting an anesthetist named Henry Beecher, used salt water in an injection to relieve a soldier’s pain when the morphine supply ran out. Low and behold: it both relieved the pain and prevented the onset of shock.

After the war Beecher returned to his post at Harvard and inspired by the nurses act, he launched a crusade to promote a method of testing new medicines.

In a 1955 paper “ The Powerful Placebo,” published in The Journal of the American Medical Association, Beecher wrote how the placebo effect undermined the results of more than a dozen trials by causing improvements that were attributed to the drugs being tested. He demonstrated that trial volunteers who got real medication were also subjected to the the placebo effects. It seemed the act of taking the pill was seen as therapeutic and this boosted the power of the medicine.

In a Harvard Medical School study, researcher Ted Kaptchuk tested volunteers’ response to varying levels of psychological intervention. The study focus was irritable bowel syndrome, a chronic condition that is hard to treat medically. The volunteers were randomly placed in one of three groups. One group was put on a waiting list; it is known that some people get better from just signing up for a trial. The next group received a placebo treatment from a clinician who didn’t do much interacting with the person. Volunteers in the third group also received placebo treatment, but from a clinician who asked them questions about their symptoms, told them the causes of IBS, and were optimistic about the condition. You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to choose the group that improved the most.

Self-Healing

Placebos are considered a psychological response related to gullibility rather than a physiological occurrence. There are real biochemical reactions, which occur when using a placebo. There are self-healing responses that come into play. Placebo activated opioids will relieve pain, modulate heart rate and respiration. Dopamine is released by placebos. There are mechanism getting activated, which will elevate mood, raise cognitive ability, alleviate digestive disorders, help sleep, and cut down on the stress-related hormones like insulin and cortisol.

You are what you eat, and this proves you are what you think and believe. That is why pills come in an assortment of colors, it isn’t just so you don’t mix them up. With all the hype prescription drugs get the colors, design, words and displays may deserve credit for the symptom relief, and the ingredients for the side effects.
