Yes, according to new research, where cancer cells were found to act as a ‘weapon’ against other cancer cells. Known as dual-action therapy, this approach is created to eliminate existing tumours and train the immune system to kill new ones, thus preventing cancer recurrence. This revolutionary new way to turn cancer cells into potent, anti-cancer…
Nature Prescriptions Found to Reduce Blood Pressure, Lower Depression and Anxiety
A new study of international evidence for “nature prescriptions”—a recommendation to spend time in nature—has found that spending time in green spaces such as forests, gardens, parks, and meadows can heal high blood pressure, depression and anxiety, and insomnia. Published on April 5 in the Lancet Planetary Health, the systematic review and meta-analysis led by Professor…
Nitric Oxide Loss: The Single Most Important Factor Impacting Cardiovascular Health
Nitric oxide (NO) is one of the most important signaling molecules in our body involved in virtually every organ system. Some researchers say that there is a very clear progression of cardiovascular disease that begins with the loss of NO production. Every age-related disease and every chronic disease—whether it manifests in the kidney, the brain, the…
Australia Discreetly Discontinues AstraZeneca COVID Vaccine
The Australian government has quietly removed approval from the Vaxzevria AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine, which has been linked to rare but the serious side effect of thrombosis with thrombocytopenia (TTS) involving blood clots combined with low levels of blood platelets. The federal health department updated its website to advise that the vaccine developed in the United…
Biden Admin Moving Ahead With Ban on Incandescent Lightbulbs
The U.S. Department of Energy plans to phase incandescent lightbulbs out of use in favor of compact fluorescent and light-emitting diode (LED) bulbs. Last April, the DOE announced revised efficiency standards for lamps that would require the gradual phasing out of the traditional incandescent lightbulbs, which have been used to light homes since the late…
Candida: A Fungus We All Carry That Can Lead to Most Common Fungal Infections, Tips to Fight It
Candida albicans is a type of fungus that causes some of the most common fungal diseases.

New Omega-3 Oil Could Prevent Leading Cause of Blindness: Study
A new form of omega-3 oil that crosses into the retina from our bloodstreams could help with visual decline associated with diseases like diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, and the leading cause of vision loss, age-related macular degeneration (AMD). A New Kind of Omega-3 Scientists in the Department of Medicine at the University of Illinois have developed…
Histone Mark Decoded: Key to Gene Regulation in Cancer and Anti-Cancer Drug Development
A research team from the University of Hong Kong (HKU) has deconstructed the process by which genetic information in human DNA is “read,” revealing how the wrong “reading” can lead to developmental defects and various cancers, bringing hope to the development of new anti-cancer drugs. The results have been published in the journal Science. All types…
Does the Sun Cause or Prevent Cancer?
Over the past few decades, people have become increasingly aware of the risks associated with excessive exposure to UV radiation from sunlight, including skin cancer, photoaging, and cataracts.
