A study published in Pediatric Allergy and Immunology reported that children eating a diet high in fruity vegetables saw a reduced number of allergies and wheezing.
Fruity vegetables that they tested and had a positive influence included tomatoes, eggplants, cucumber, green beans and zucchini.
Additionally, they found children that ate fish or fish oil also saw a reduction in allergic reactions.
This is another in a line of studies that is showing the effects of diet on every day conditions like allergies, weight gain, disease and longevity, especially in children. Keeping children's diets clear of processed and modified foods, and high in fresh fruits and vegetables will gain them fewer sick days and more fun growing up in a healthy environment.

The rate of obesity nearly doubled over the past 25 years and it's hurting the American workforce as well as the productivity of our economy. The only solution is to take full responsibility for your own health.

This parody of the way American's eat is right on, and quite funny although there's more truth to this than meets the eye. Enjoy learning how the fast food industry will help you eat more of their food, with no effort at all.

In a recent study published in the International Journal of Gynecological Cancer, the breast cancer drug Tamoxifen (sounds toxic, doesn't it?) was shown to actually increase the risk of uterine cancer and death in women.
This is only one of many studies that show Tamoxifen to increase instances and deaths from uterine cancer, although the drug is still on the market.
It's also interesting to note that most all prescription cancer drugs have a steep price tag, but small (if any) benefit. Some cost as much as $100,000 but only extend the patient's life a few months (according to their own research).
Why spend hundreds of thousands on chemicals when the best and most logical alternatives cost pennies in comparison?
Can you prevent cancer?
Yes you can, and here are the best ways to do it:
- Stay active and get plenty of exercise. Strenuous exercise and activity that makes you sweat helps move toxins out of your body, helps keep your insulin levels down and makes you feel good, physically and mentally.
- Get at least 30 minutes of exposure to the sun daily, preferably earlier or later in the day. The sun provides the best source of Vitamin D, proven to reduce by 50% your risk of getting any cancer.
- Avoid processed and modified foods and concentrate on fresh, dried, preferably organic, fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds and natural grains.
- If you have to cook some foods, steam them instead of any other method.
- Maintain a positive outlook, release negative emotions and enjoy your life.
- Avoid environmental toxins including synthetic air fresheners, pesticides, bug sprays, household cleaners and pollution.
- Drink lots of spring or distilled water.
- Get plenty of sleep.
And that's not just my opinion, even the American Cancer Society, most often tied to the medical establishment, has reported that upwards of 62% of all cancers can be avoided by making simple lifestyle changes.
Regain your health, save time and money and enjoy your life.
To your best health!

The FDA today announced a risk of salmonella poisoning in cantaloupe imported from Honduras. The risk is highest in small children and older adults with weak or compromised immune symptoms. Even if you've eaten contaminated fruit, most with uncompromised immune systems will not feel the effects.
The recommendation is

Not surprisingly, a new study released by the University of Massachusetts rated a primarily vegetarian diet, like the one authored by Dr. Dean Ornish, as the best diet for heart health.

A recent study published in the American Journal of Infection Control has reported that washing hands is the first line of defense against catching and passing on germs and viruses. In fact, you're less likely to catch anything from sharing a kiss than shaking hands.
Hand hygiene is quite important since we can quickly and easily spread germs by just going about our daily business.

Another sad report of obesity among children, this one about 10 and 11 year olds. These reports are more and more common today, with sobering statistics showing how many children are overweight or obese. And the numbers aren't getting better:
The evidence is growing every day, more and more of our children are showing signs of heart disease! This is devastating to the health of our nation and world, and from the statistics, is only getting worse.
Flu shots have been under the microscope more recently to determine whether they are effective in preventing or even reducing the occurrences of the flu. In a recent issue of HSI Alert, I noticed an interesting study and review that shed some more light on the subject.
