Placebo for Cardio Vascular Disease?

Irritable Bowel Syndrome: Placebo Works Even if Patients Know - Health Blog - CBS News

Is it possible that we can see "Placebo for Pain Relief", "Placebo for Respiratory diseases", or "Placebo for Cardio Vascular diseases"?

Comparing a group of people taking pills that are made of inert substances with the word "Placebo" printed on the bottle, to another group of people who were told to do nothing in a recent study of patients with irritable bowel syndrome, revealed that the placebo worked almost as the leading medication on the market.

Although the study was small and it is not clear what it would mean for other conditions, yet the most important question it raises is , isn't it better to add traditional herbs to the placebo and submit it to research?

3 Mistakes when Buying a Diet Plan Online

Deciding to lose weight, and you search for a diet plan to buy online? Before going anywhere, read this article first.

Do not start searching before you define the goal of your diet. If you start searching blindly, you will be excited by will written messages, telling you that you will lose specified amount of pounds in the next, month, week, or 3 days! but what then?


You suffer the impact of your extra weight on your health and on your shape. You should know that gaining excess weight is a mark that your metabolism and your life style are on different tracks.

To prevent a wrong message that may penetrate your subconscious, you should avoid these mistakes:




1- Not recognizing the principles of weight loss

The classic view of calories is a bit changed now to consider source of calories rather than their number, in other words "not all calories are created equal". The balance of calories-in and calories-out is still applicable, but calories from food that builds muscles is different from calories
from food that help store fat.


The source of calories effect is obvious when the metabolism is changed, for example; in the growth stage the source of calories does not matter that much, since all the body activities are directed to building, but when growth has stoped, there is no gross building and any extra energy is stored as fat, and among the factors that facilitate this process are food types.


You have to change your eating habits to cope with your new metabolism pattern. To lose any excess deposited fat, you should change types of food you eat without restrictions of its amount.



2- Not Knowing how to maintain your optimal Weight

Be assured that any diet plan will shed pounds of your weight, the first days or weeks you use them. There are many ways to do that. Nevertheless, the problem which faces dieters is the maintenance of the acquired weight.

Most of the diet programs adopt strange ways to force your body to lose weight. They either starve your body, ban whole categories of food, introduce foreign materials that affect your metabolism, or put your body on an unsatisfying style of tasteless foods, or strenuous exercise, or both.

Your diet plan should let you eat your favorite way keeping you full and satisfied. It may discriminate some foods but should not restrict your whole life.



3- Not sneaking Your diet Plan

A diet designer should let you taste how his plan looks like. He should have been brought you something new as a new diet, and you should know what is this new diet about.

Testimonials are not enough because as said earlier, every diet plan will reduce weight for sometime. You should ensure that the concept will cause a permanent weight loss. An audio-visual support is better, but at least you should know something from inside the program.

Cottonseed for Cancer

No, it is not the whole cottonseed, it is a purified derivative of its extract called Gossypol. When this compound was tested against human prostate cancer in mice, the cancer was completely wiped out.

Cancer cells express proteins to resist chemotherapy and radiation, so that it can prevent cell death (apoptosis). There are 6 varieties of these anti-apoptotic proteins and they are expressed differently in different cancers. Targeting the right one protein may not be enough to kill cancer cells, as they often express more than one and can select for an "escape" protein and continue to prosper.

The new compound inhibits all six anti-apoptotic proteins. Its broad spectrum activity could make current cancer treatment more effective by preparing malignant cells to die.
