    Aspirin can slow down the progression of emphysema

    Yet another study, adding to the mountain of evidence that if there is such a thing as a "wonder drug" then aspirin comes as close to it as possible. The study findings are great news not only because emphysema is such a widespread disease, but also because it is considered both progressive and...

    Aspirin May Protect Lungs From Air Pollution

    It seems that there is nothing mighty aspirin cannot do. Just recently, I posted about its ability to treat (and, more importantly, potentially have curative effect) erectile dysfunction (ED) at least as effectively as established drugs such as Viagra, Levitra, Cialis, etc. yet with much fewer...

    Johnson & Johnson Concealed For Decades Its Baby Powder Had Asbestos

    It is hard to get more nefarious than that. Apparently, not only did Johnson & Johnson (J&J) sell baby powder laced with asbestos but it knew about it for several decades and did everything it could to prevent the information from leaking to the public. Keep in mind, this is on top of the...

    High-dose Vitamin C Is Making A Comeback As A Treatment For Cancer

    Lungs Are A Blood-making Organ

    Stress At Work Increases Risk For Certain Cancers

    I suspect work stress increases risk for all cancers but that would be too political of a study to conduct. For now, we can say that it at least increase risk for GI and bladder cancers.

Experts say the change accelerates the decline in the lungs' ability to expand and expel air. This could make...

    Acute Colon / Lung Damage May Be Due To Endotoxin; Breast Milk Stops It

Once again, our old "friend" endotoxin rears its ugly head and acts...

    Many Officially Diagnosed Cancers Are Not Cancer At All

Thankfully, the trend seems to be reversing and thyroid "cancer" is...

    Gamma and alpa tocopherol affect lungs in opposite ways

    This study is controversial, but I decided to post it anyways. In his earlier writings Peat wrote almost exclusively about alpha tocopherol and its beneficial effects. As more studies came out about the other isomers, I think Peat started leaning more towards the gamma isomer. Well, according to...
