Epsom Salts May Protect Premature Babies From Brain Damage
While cerebral palsy is relatively rare in babies, preemies account for one-third of all cases. A study reported at the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine’s January meeting may offer help. Researchers found that Epsom salts, or magnesium sulfate, may be beneficial in preventing cerebral palsy in premature babies.  When doctors gave women in the study Epsom salts infusions early in labor, the number of children who later developed cerebral palsy was cut almost in half.

Using magnesium sulfate is already an established therapy for pregnancy-induced high blood pressure.

Our Cells Have Enough Power To Produce A Bolt Of Lighting
Raoul Kopelman, a biophysical chemistry researcher from the University of Michigan, , has invented a tiny voltmeter that is designed to be inserted inside a single cell. In fact, the voltmeter is so small that thousands can fit into a cell and still take up only one-millionth of the cell’s volume. He discovered that each cell has an electrical field strong enough to cause a bolt of lighting. While researchers in the field have known that the cell membrane contained a strong electrical field, this is the first time an electrical field has been detected inside a cell.

So, how powerful is this field? Kopelman reported detecting fields as strong as 15 million volts. He plans to use this device to probe cells for clues about what happens when diseases or toxins injure them.

So…when you feel that spark between you and another person, you may be feeling a real jolt of electricity between the two of you.

Cut Hot Flashes In Half
Scientists at the Mayo Clinic studied 21 post-menopausal women who had at least 14 hot flashes per week. None of the women were using hormone replacement therapy. When the women sprinkled 4 tablespoons of crushed flaxseed daily into the foods that they were eating, such as yogurt, cereal, juice or water, the severity and the number of their hot flashes dropped 50%. It took about six weeks to get these results. Also, the researchers suggest starting with 2 tablespoons and working up to the full amount because the added fiber can cause abdominal discomfort. Finally, make sure you are drinking a glass of liquid when you eat the flaxseed.

My suggestion is to get a grinder. Just grind up what you need to eat each day. You can do a Google search for flax seed grinders. So…ladies, now you can grind your way to cooler temperatures.

Quick Way To Check For Alzheimer’s Disease
I recently read a report in the www.BottomLineYearbook.com about a recent study reporting a way to discover very early if you are at risk for Alzheimer’s. According to the publisher of this book, older Americans who have trouble recognizing familiar scents such as cinnamon or lemon were far more likely to develop Alzheimer’s within the next five years.

If you have concerns that a family member may be developing Alzheimer’s, you might want to do a smell test with that person.

Your Boss May Be Affecting Your Health
A study in the November 27^th online Journal of Occupational Environment Medicine was conducted over a ten-year period at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden. Researchers observed the long-term health effects that a boss might have on his or her employees.  The study tracked 3,000 men with an average age of 42 and better than average access to health care. Each participant rated their boss’ behavior on 10 measures, including statements such as “My boss gives me the information I need” and “I have sufficient power in relation to my responsibilities.”

By the end of the study, 74 men had suffered heart attacks and other serious cardiac events. It turned out that the lower a boss’ leadership score, the higher the worker’s risk of having a cardio event. The chance of a heart attack also increased with the number of years of exposure to the bad boss.

So…if you have a bad boss, you might not want to stay in that position as it could harm your health over a long period of time. If you’re one of those bad bosses, it’s time you changed your ways!

Using Vitamin C May Protect Your Knees From Arthritis
Australian researchers conducted a study with 293 middle-aged people who were free of knee pain. After 10 years, they found that the people eating high amounts of Vitamin C were less likely to exhibit the bone degeneration that leads to the development of osteoarthritis in the knee. The researchers attributed the effect to the antioxidant impact of Vitamin C. The researchers also found that other antioxidant’s including lutein and zeaxanthin (found in spinach) can also protect against age-related wear and tear.

So…eat your fruits and veggies and take a couple of thousand milligrams of Vitamin C a day. Just make sure there are bioflavinoids in your supplement as it helps the Vitamin C to be absorbed into your system.

The Need To Question Spinal Surgery
You’ve got nagging lower-back pain. Your doctor takes an MRI and sees that two disks are badly worn. The doctor recommends replacing the disk with an artificial implant called the Charite. Unfortunately, if you have the procedure done you may still need to take narcotic pain killers. One study found that 64% of the people who received the Charite still needed these drugs two years after surgery.

When Doctor Charles Rosen looked at the research evidence backing the Charite, he found that the researchers compared the patients who got the Charite with a type of fusion surgery that is no longer performed due to its high rate of failure. He discovered the researchers on other Charite studies were paid consultants for the device’s manufacturer.

Spinal surgeries and spinal fusions have skyrocketed in recent years. Between 1996 and 2001 the number of spinal fusions grew 113% while the number of knee and hip replacements rose just 15% and 13%, respectively. Unfortunately, spinal surgeries often fail and instead of relieving pain do the exact opposite and turn into agony. A spinal fusion is most beneficial if a vertebrae slips out of place and presses on the one below.

Your best option may be to adopt lifestyle changes, such as strengthening abdominal muscles, learning how to bend properly and doing water aerobics for exercise. Alternative treatments such as chiropractic and acupuncture may also be effective. Ask your doctor about an epidural injection, which helps 50% of patients quiet their pain for a year.
