The origin of dyslexia, the neurobiologically-rooted learning disorder that impairs reading words and letters (word blindness) but does not affect general intelligence, is no longer a mystery. As background information, dyslexia is said to affect 5-10% of the population. Some 70-80% of people with poor reading skills are likely dyslexic.
News headlines today herald a breakthrough in the understanding of the biological roots of this disorder. Most scientific investigations into the origins of dyslexia have been focused on the brain. The discovery announced today has to do with eye dominance.

Sensationalized news reports about theoretical radiation health hazards posed by electronic devices like cell phones, computer monitors and electric power lines often alarm the public for no reason other than attracting readers or viewers. The reported experiments involve doses of radiation far beyond what users of electronic devices are exposed to. Or the experiments are performed with lab animals or cells in a lab dish, hardly real world environments.
However, a recently published study sets off real alarm bells. Researchers report that low-dose EMF (electromagnetic field) radiation emitted from computer monitors adversely affects thyroid hormone levels in females, a problem that was surprisingly reversed by zinc supplementation.

The study is being conducted at the Burke Rehabilitation & Research Hospital in White Plains, New York under the direction of Dr. Gary E. Gibson PhD.
In a pilot study other researchers overseas just reported a small number of patients (5) taking a fat-soluble form of vitamin B1 experienced restoration of some of their mental faculties and regeneration of brain activity as evidenced by PET scans. The PET scan images are remarkable. The scrambled brains of Alzheimer’s subjects regained youthful activity once again!

No, the substance of this report doesn’t emanate from Harvard Medical School and is being ignored and will predictably be dismissed by uninformed physicians whose livelihood is threatened by such a discovery.
Denial and ridicule is the first phase of any scientific discovery, followed strong opposition and finally self-evident acceptance. This discovery hasn’t even reached the first stage as it goes ignored.
The acronym for the National Institutes of Health — NIH – more accurately means: “not invented here.” The covert mission of the NIH is to block any remedy outside of synthetic molecules from gaining FDA approval.

A stinging report reveals patients who solely choose alternative over conventional cancer therapies are likely to die sooner over a 5-7 year period. But is it all as it seems?
Published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, the report didn’t delve into the different types of alternative therapies utilized by cancer patients who shunned conventional chemotherapy and radiation. A wide range of alternative therapies are available and include Essiac tea, vitamin B17/apricot pits, shark cartilage, to name a few.

I can hear the jabber in the doctors’ lounge at the hospital where a 67-year old cancer patient in remission from prostate cancer underwent an explorative procedure to check for recurrence.
“What was the man thinking? How could he mindlessly subject himself to these ridiculous alternative therapies,” the doctors must have been asking themselves.
The patient, 67 years of age had been cutting up 70 apricot kernels for 5 years the news report says, and also consumed commercially made herbal fruit kernel tablets, in an attempt to keep his prostate cancer at bay.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or ALS (aka Lou Gehrig’s Disease after this famous baseball player died of the disease in 1941) is a disease without a known cause or cure. It progressively disables motor neurons and often a victim dies by choking to death or can’t expand their lungs and succumbs by asphyxiation.
Researchers writing in the Annual Review of Biochemistry have been investigating SOD1—superoxide dismutase 1 – an internally made enzymatic antioxidant and ALS. When the human body is biologically stressed SOD-1 is produced from copper-zinc precursors. Somehow in the development of ALS zinc-copper SOD1 becomes toxic, destroying motor neurons (nerves used for movement).

There is such a thing as a mental depression diet. It’s called the American diet. In response, physicians hand out anti-depressant pills making patients dependent on these pills for the remainder of their lives when their calorie-rich/nutrient poor diet is causing their problems. Where does depression/anxiety emanate from? Not the brain but the intestines, what is now called the gut-brain axis. In a misdirection, mood-altering drugs directly target neurotransmitters in the brain.
Altered gut bacteria early in life, particularly from over-use of antibiotics that literally sterilize the gut, and modern sugar-laden carbohydrate-rich diets by virtue of their generation of low-grade chronic inflammation, increase the risk for a depressed mood and eventually losing one’s mind later in life.

In striking contrasts, a university-based team just announced it has developed a five-dollar treatment that completely abolishes cancer in the same week news headlines hailed the Food & Drug Administration’s approval of a $475,000 immunotherapy treatment for blood cancer (leukemia).
I’m sure readers want to hear about the five-dollar cancer cure first. A university-based team set out to develop a cancer cure that could be performed in third-world countries where incomes are low, equipment unavailable and even electricity nonexistent. What they came up with needs just a needle and a syringe and a steady hand.

Notice the word “hope.” Don’t be starting to expect you will live beyond what life insurance actuaries have planned or you will gum up their projected profitability schemes.
Before readers even get past the first paragraph of this report, I can hear many saying in the back of their minds, “Oh, I never want to live that long.”
That is because modern medicine has instilled into everyone’s mind an indellible image of wrinkled, feeble, drooling, mindless, incontinent, wheelchair-bound seniors as what they have to look forward to if they live exceptionally long. If that is the negative image you have of old age, watch for my next report that takes you to a geographical place where humans simply defy the biological clock hands of time, don’t need doctoring and don’t even look their age.
