Kudzu May Actually Have A Purpose – Curbing Binge Drinking
A report in the Journal Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research, found that the herb, kudzu, which grows abundantly in Southeastern states, may be effective as a means of reducing alcohol consumption. Subjects in the study who regularly consumed 3 to 4 drinks per day were given either kudzu or a placebo for seven days. When they were subsequently given the opportunity to drink as much beer as they wanted, the subjects drank an average of 1.8 beers as compared to 3.5 beers for the controls. The subjects both increased the time it took to consume their beer and they decreased the amount taken with each sip. So…just think… this roadside weed may have a real use!
Needle Biopsies Of Breasts May Spread Cancer Cells

Needle biopsies are used in the diagnosis of breast cancer. However, according to Dr. Julian Whitaker, the safety or efficacy of needle biopsy has never been scientifically confirmed. To conduct a needle biopsy, the physician must pierce the encapsulated tumor in order to obtain samples for testing. In a study conducted by the John Wayne Cancer Institute, researchers found that women who had undergone a needle biopsy were 50% more likely to have the cancer from their breast tumor spread to the lymph node adjacent to the tumor. The researchers stated that the probable cause of the metastasis was “the mechanical disruption of the tumor by the needle.”

So…there are safer, non-invasive alternatives to needle biopsy. One alternative is Thermography. This uses digital imaging to measure temperature variations in the body. This sensitive screening tool can often detect tumors earlier than other diagnostic tests. You can also use CT scans, MRIs, PET scans and ultrasound.

Understanding How We React When Disaster Hits

In a crisis, our instincts can be our undoing. Research shows that, when we are calm, our brains require 8 to 10 seconds to process each novel piece of complex information. The greater our levels of stress, the more slowly our brains’ processing time. When in a crisis hits, our brains will actually move into low gear just at the time when we need to moving faster. In response to a disaster, many people will often say to themselves “This can’t be possibly happening to me.” Before deciding what to do, they will check with four or more sources including family, newscasters and officials.

In a disaster, 10 to 15% of the effected people will remain calm and act quickly and efficiently whereas 15% will freak out. The vast majority, however, will do very little; they are stunned and bewildered. While we have a flight or fight survival response that can get triggered in emergencies, there is also a freeze response. Freezing is what happens to a deer when caught in the headlights. The deer freezes and it gets hit by the car. When a disaster occurs, people who are stunned are actually experiencing the freeze part of the survival mechanism.

According to Mac McLean, who has been studying plane evacuations for 16 years at the FAA’s Civil Aerospace Medical Institute, there is a way to override this freeze instinct and that’s by training and by thinking about what you would do in a disaster situation. A mental plan will give your brain a road map to follow when a disaster occurs so you won’t freeze, and you will, instead, move to flee. So…think about it before hand, so you are ready to act if the necessity arises.

Yoga - A Way To Keep The Weight Off Middle – Aged Folks
People in their 50s generally put on about 13 ½ pounds over 10 years. Researchers found that people of the same age who practiced yoga generally lost about 5 pounds over that same 10 year period. Researchers aren’t sure as to why this happens. I can tell you since I’ve been doing yoga every morning for the past 35 years, it makes a definite positive difference in how you feel and function. This may affect the chemicals in the brain that signal satisfaction with food.
An Option When You Need Pepto-Bismol And There’s None Around
If you’ve ever had diarrhea and there’s no Pepto-Bismol-type product available, there’s an option you can turn to. Drink a glass of wine (either red or white is fine). One study found that drinking up to 6 ounces of wine worked as well or better than Pepto-Bismol. It seems the alcohol kills the bacteria in 20 to 30 minutes. So…bottoms up… as this situation is not the time to sip and savor the flavor of the wine.
Get Out Of Hospitals Faster By Having A Hand And Foot Massage

Researchers have found that after surgery, patients who received a 5-minute massage to each hand and foot saw their heart rates and respiratory rates decrease which, in turn, increased proper tissue healing. Patients reported that their pain intensity and distress levels fell. They were also able to get out of bed sooner which meant they could speed up their recovery. So…if you have to go under the knife, besides having your family there, when you open your eyes after the surgery have a massage therapist there, too!

Women Have More Knee Problems Than Men

Women are up to eight times more likely as men to blow out their knees when playing tennis, skiing or dancing. It turns out that the ACL ligament is weaker in women during the first half of the monthly menstrual cycle. Researchers at the University of Vermont found that the risk of injury is three times higher during menstruation and the following week.

To protect themselves and their knees, women can do specific exercises, such as, lunges and leg-raises to improve balance and to strengthen the muscles surrounding the ACL ligament to take some of the stress off this important ligament.
