  1. Cryoablation Therapy Freezes Breast Cancer Tumors.

    in Natural Cures and Health Talk

    Posted · Edited by tankdude

    This technology has been around since the 1960's apparently.  The liquid nitrogen - or now it looks like liquid argon - are not actually injected. They are used to supercool the tip of the probe being used to kill/damage the tumor/cells around the probe.

    Here is an article I found that does a pretty good job explain the technology and protocols.

    BTW - hope he doesn't mind, but I want to fill you in a bit on something. ThaiExpat may be out for a while.  He has contracted something nasty and has been working on recovering. He may be out of the loop for a while. I'm sure we all wish him the best and pray for a full recovery.

    GO RV, then BV

    Leave it to the "crusty" veteran to "butter" others up and change the subject. Just "loaf"ing about, "spreading" his version of humor - which I would call "Margerinal" at best.

    Of course I have to poke fun at him - it's his quick "wheat"edness that I admire...*LOL*

  7. The 5 Suspect Ingredients That Could Cost the Beauty Industry $20 Million

    in Natural Cures and Health Talk

    Posted

    https://www.yahoo.com/beauty/the-5-suspect-ingredients-that-could-cost-the-beauty-industry-20-million-222121517.html?soc_src=social-sh&soc_trk=fb

    The recent buzz around Wen Hair Care — and the Food and Drug Administration’s warning that its cleansing conditioners have generated thousands of consumer complaints about rashes and bald spots — has refocused attention on the potential dangers of beauty products. It’s also reignited debate around proposed legislation that could tighten up FDA oversight of such products and their ingredients.

    Chief among those to be scrutinized are five suspect chemicals, including formaldehyde and lead, commonly found in cosmetics — from CoverGirl, Neutrogena, Vaseline, Almay, Coppertone, Aveeno, and many more major brands, available at pretty much any major retailer across the country.

    The proposed bipartisan bill, cosponsored by Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., and Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, and currently awaiting committee hearings, would amend the FDA’s Cosmetic Act — last updated, unbelievably, in 1938, and basically leaving the entire makeup and skin-products industry unregulated.

    Feinstein got behind the bill after learning about the EU’s banning of more than 1,300 chemicals from personal care products — and how the United States, by comparison, has banned only 11 ingredients, including mercury and chloroform. The new law would give the FDA the authority to test cosmetics’ ingredients and issue mandatory recalls for products found to have toxins. It would also require a company to report any known serious adverse health effects to the FDA within 15 days.

    Smaller companies, including Wen and Mary Kay, are fighting the measure, noted a recent New York Times article, while bigger players, such as Johnson & Johnson and Revlon, support the bill. And while that might seem ironic, considering the ingredients used by major brands, they are the companies that can afford to pay the reported $20 million in proposed annual fees that would help cover the cost of testing five different ingredients each year.

    The first five, as decided upon through a group effort between Feinstein’s office and a range of companies, consumer groups, and the FDA, would be as follows:

    • Propyl paraben, a preservative linked to hormone disruption. It rates a 7 on the EWG scale, which notes it can be found in more than 3,000 products including foundations (more than 15 from CoverGirl alone); moisturizers by CeraVe, Curel, Neutrogena, Vaseline, and Kiss My Face; lipsticks from Black Radiance, CoverGirl, L.A. Girl, and Wet n Wild; Almay, e.l.f., and CoverGirl mascaras; and sunscreens made by Banana Boat, Coppertone, and Hawaiian Tropic.
    • Lead acetate, a potent neurotoxin linked to developmental, reproductive, and organ system toxicity, as well as cancer, used in men’s hair dyes and rating a 10 on the EWG scale. A handful of products still contain it, according to EWG, including Grecian Formula 16 Liquid with Conditioner, Youthair Hair Color & Conditioner for Men, Grecian Plus Gradual Hair Color Foam, and Youthair Crème.
    • Diazolidinyl urea, a preservative that releases formaldehyde and is linked to allergic reactions and organ toxicity, rated a 6 on EWG’s scale. More than 650 sunscreens, moisturizers, eye makeups, and cleansers use it as an additive, including Kinerase Gentle Daily Cleanser, Almay Gentle Eye Makeup Remover Pads, Coppertone Kids Pure & Simple Lotion SPF 50, Neutrogena Oil Free Moisture, Aveeno Creamy Moisturizing Oil, John Frieda Full Body Repair Conditioner, and Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer.
    • Quaternium-15, another formaldehyde-releasing preservative linked to irritation and organ toxicity, rating an 8 on EWG’s scale. It can be found in a range of more than 150 products including Aveeno Skin Relief Body Wash, Almay One Coat Thickening Mascara, Aveeno Baby Calming Comfort Bath, CoverGirl Eye Enhancers 4 Kit Shadow, CVS Gentle Cleansing Wash, Purpose Gentle Cleansing Wash, and Maybelline Great Lash Washable Mascara.

    “There are no other products so widely used that have such few safeguards,” Feinstein noted earlier this year in a press conference about the legislation. And whether that changes or whether the muscle of companies like Wen keeps things as is remains to be seen.

  10. New comprehensive study links booze to seven types of cancer

    in Natural Cures and Health Talk

    Posted

    Again - the key is balance. Consuming alcohol in amounts that create oxidative stress in the body is what creates the issue, in my opinion. 

    I do have some research to back that up - http://pubs.niaaa.nih.gov/publications/arh27-4/277-284.htm

    Google "Oxidative stress and (whatever - cancer, dna damage, chronic disease, etc) and you will be amazed a how key this concept is. Control the oxidative stress - control a lot of the health issues...

    I have to desagree with Adam on the price of oil. I dont see it going above 55$.

    All over the world there is no inflation and the economy is stalled. In fact we are now in deflation with the QE that is being done in EU, JPY and soon in GBP.

    The production cost are getting lower and unless an oil cartel from (US, middle-east)  agrees with oil quota we will have more oil than we can consume.

    Oil above 55 will not happens unless there is an all out war in the middle east.

     

    Wow Happy Man sounds more like Bummer Dude (hope you take that in the humor it's meant)

    Thanks again Adam - and I would be remiss if I didn't also thank the mods. That group helps make this one of the best (if I may paraphrase) No Spin Dinar sites on the net...

    I got a message saying I do not appreciate the Military in this country....Please for anyone new here I happen to be married to a Navy veteran. I happen to be a very proud American and a HUGE supporter of our Military..ALL THE BRANCHES and nothing gets me going like the video I will post below. I am and equal opportunity jokester and if you understand our military we all make fun of each other. Air force has it easy.marines..well they are not so bright...army it is what you do when no one else wants ya and Navy well they are the best and the brightest. HEE HEE HEE

     

    Please do not take my posts so serious..I don't..and neither do the gals...I promise!

     

    Now lets see what ya got!! Post away!!!!!!

     

     

    You got that right. It's like family - I can pick on my little brother but be careful if you do it and you aren't part of the family, because your fixin' to get an ass whuppin' from the big brother.

    All US military are part of the same team - One Team, One Fight!.  Doesn't mean that I, as an Army Infantryman, am not going to pick on the other branches! Nay! "Tis my sacred duty to smack talk to the other lesser branches...*lol*

    How to Tell the Difference Between the Branches of the US Armed Forces!

    If you give the command "SECURE THE BUILDING", here is what the different services would do:

    The NAVY would turn out the lights and lock the doors.

    The ARMY would surround the building with defensive fortifications, tanks and concertina wire.

    The MARINE CORPS would assault the building, using overlapping fields of fire from all appropriate points on the perimeter.

    The AIR FORCE would take out a three-year lease with an option to buy the building.

  23. Upgrading of the Iraqi currency

    in Iraq & Dinar Related News

    Posted

    ". The re-evaluation of the Iraqi dinar, where every dinar equivalent of 100 fils and not in 1000 and make every penny is composed of 10 monetary units smaller name (NIS or rail) ..
    And that each 1 $ = 1 DI and 18 fils. 
    (Shekel unit calibration Sumerian worked for in Ur and Uruk like kilogram in the present day) "

    OK - my interpretation is they would place $1 US equal to 1.18 Dinar - or 1 Dinar equals $.85 (or $.847 if we go 3 significant figures). They are basically moving the decimal point to the left 3 places on the Dinar value.  This is what I have always believed what they have meant when they talk about "dropping the 3 zeroes."

    That would work for me!

  24. PSP progressive supra nuclear palsy

    in Natural Cures and Health Talk

    Posted

    Hey FlyHi -

    Just some thoughts - maybe Doc can tell me if I'm on the right track.

    I think you might be onto something. Upping healthy fats would be a good start - like the coconut oil.  Probably look at a ketogenic type diet. It has shown benefits for Alzheimer patients and PSP appears to have much the same roots. Deals with the build up of tau in the brain cells. We know that it helps with mitochodrial genesis;.

    Of course, I'd recommend dealing with the oxidative stress also.  Couple of articles I found that tie those 2 together.

    https://www.researchgate.net/publication/7352979_Aging_and_oxidative_stress_in_progressive_supranuclear_palsy

    Bottom line on this one is that HNE (4-hydorxnonenal - which is produced by lipid peroxidation from oxidative stress) appears to be stopping the SOD and Glutathione from functioning properly and accelerating cell death by both apoptosis and necrosis.

    http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12231453

    http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10428088

    These results indicate that lipid peroxidation may play a role in the pathogenesis of PSP.

    You know my personal "go to" tool for that is the Redox supplement. I would also look at CoQ10 and PQQ for mitochondrial support. 

    I would also look at Magnesium/Calcium/Vitamin D levels. This triad can be a real issue with anything involving the muscles. If anything, I would suspect upping the magnesium might help some. It helps with mitochondrial support and muscle control. Of course, magnesium and Vitamin d usually go hand in hand since magnesium is used to convert Vit. D to its active form and is used up doing that - and of course both of those control calcium absorption - so...thus that triad thing.

    The GCMAF - especially in yogurt - would also be a great supportive system.  The whole "gut-Brain" connection is just beginning to be understood.  A good probiotic might also be good.

    Just some thoughts.
