Air Pollution And Cancer Linked

Researchers reported that hundreds of thousands of cases of cancer are caused by air pollution. The researchers found that the source causing these cases of cancer are particulate matter produced by factories, cars and other sources.

Polluted air is now classified as a “Group 1” cancer source along with plutonium, silica dust and tobacco smoke. The particulate matter is killing over 220,000 people each year. How do we reduce these deaths? Bringing more clean energy sources on line will reduce these deaths while even reducing the impact of climate change.

The Effectiveness Of The Clean Air Act

In Congress, the Republicans have been attempting to weaken The Clean Air Act. So, the question is has the Act been successful? Well, since 1970, when the act was passed by Congress, air pollution in this country is down 72% by decreasing particulates, ground-level ozone, nitrogen oxide and sulfur dioxide. In addition the economy has improved 219% and 160,000 lives were saved in 2010.

While great strides have been made we are not done. As the blurb above shows, we can still make great strides in improving all of our lives.

The Power Of L-Carnitine

L-carnitine is an amino acid and is concentrated in our brains, hearts and muscles. Its primary job is to transport fatty acids into the mitochondria, where it is burned for energy. As we age or have illnesses strike us, the mitochondrial function diminishes which results in fatigue, loss of muscle mass, increase in body fat, mental and physical slowdown and frailty.

So, what to do? That’s where supplementing with L-carnitine comes into play. It reverses many of these signs of aging. As an example, Italian researchers enrolled centenarians and gave them either 2 g of L-carnitine or a placebo daily. The researchers found that mental and physical endurance improved and memory function increased. Mental function improved the most when using the acetyl form of L-carnitine.

Other research by the Mayo Clinic reported a 40% reduction in angina, a 65% reduction in ventricular arrhythmias and even a 27% reduction in death!

Finally, the amino acid has also reduced fatigue levels for cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. So…as you age, reach for some L-carnitine and see how it improves your life.

Unique Way To Clean Up Heavy Metals

Onions and garlic are great for flavoring food. Now Indian biotechnologist have found another use for these flavor enhancers. It turns out they are great for filtering heavy metals out of toxic brews. The two together absorbed 70% of the toxins which included arsenic, cadmium, mercury and even lead. The plus was that the onion and garlic mix could be reused to clean again. So…imagine how powerful this breakthrough could be in improving our environment.

Killing Cancer Cells In 16 Hours

According to a series of studies published in Life Science by the University of California, the herb artemisinin, was able to kill 98% of lung cancer cells in less than 16 hours when combined with iron in tissue samples. The artemesinin was able to selectively attack the bad cells and leave the good cells untouched. The researchers showed that the artemisinin stopped the transcription of the lung cancer cells. The next step will be to see what it does in the body.

New Brain Research On The Impact of Meditation

Some of the latest research on meditation is looking at what is going on in the brain during and after meditating. One study looked at 12 participants who meditated for 21 days. The researchers looked at EEGs and Brain maps before and after the 21 days.

One finding was that there was a strong tendency for the two brain hemispheres to function more symmetrically following the process. The balancing of the left and right brain was also most pronounced in the posterior part of the brain called the occipital-parietal. This improved cooperation and communication between the two hemispheres.

Another finding was a substantial increase of fast Gamma wave activity in the frontal lobes after the 21 day. Very high levels of Gamma activity has been found in spiritually evolved Zen monks. 

Finally, meditation has been demonstrated to change gene expression by increasing antioxidant production, increasing telomerase activity and reducing oxidative stress. If you need to learn how to meditate, you can get my book or the Kindle version of Managing Your Stress in Difficult Times at https://teplitz.com/Managing-Stress-Teplitz.html.

Talking To A Baby

We all grew up talking baby talk to a baby – gaga, goo-goo, gee-gee. We’ll it turns out that baby talk may not be the best way for babies to learn a language. Recent research reported that the sooner you start using adult speech with the baby the better. The researchers found that how much and how well parents talk with the babies and toddlers is actually helping to tune the child’s brain in ways that build crucial language and vocabulary skills. So…maybe the eTrade commercials, with the baby talking in full sentences and thoughts, is really what is going on in the baby’s mine.

Make sure to share this with the people your baby comes in contact with so they can support your child’s growth.
