Prostate cancer therapy can increase risk of heart disease and death

(NaturalNews) A new report published in the American Cancer Society journal, CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians , and in the American Heart Association journal, Circulation , reveals that androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT), a type of prostate cancer treatment, can increase heart risk factors and possibly lead to heart attack or cardiac death. A writing group of experts from the American Heart Association, the American Cancer Society, the American Urological Association, and the American Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology published their findings that indicate that ADT leads to increased fat mass, increased low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, the “bad” form of cholesterol, and blood sugar abnormalities. The goal of ADT is to reduce male hormonal levels in order to decrease the rate at which cancer cells grow and spread in the prostate. By limiting the two primary male androgens – testosterone and dihydrotestosterone – Western medicine theory purports that prostate cancer can be better combated. The American Cancer Society, however, admits that ADT…

Eating chocolate regularly may prevent strokes

(NaturalNews) Stroke takes an enormous toll on health. In fact, it’s the third leading cause of death in the US, according to the American Stroke Association. So imagine how much money Big Pharma could rake in if drug manufacturers came up with a medication that not only reduced the risk of having a stroke but slashed the risk of dying from a stroke in half. It turns out there’s a substance already on the market that does just that. Only, it isn’t an expensive prescription drug but a delicious, natural food — chocolate. A report just released by Canadian scientists from McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, and the University of Toronto provides evidence that consuming chocolate regularly significantly reduces the odds of having a stroke. What’s more, if a person who eats chocolate does suffer a stroke, their risk of dying afterwards is almost half that of non-chocolate eaters. The research team reached these conclusions after analyzing three studies for any links between chocolate intake and strokes. Although …

After horrible deaths caused by medical radiation mistakes are uncovered, medical group issues (sort of) an apology

(NaturalNews) In late January, the New York Times published a startling and groundbreaking series of reports by investigative reporter Walt Bogdanich who has uncovered case after case of people who suffered devastating consequences — including horrendously painful, torture-like deaths — because of medical mistakes related to radiation treatment. In response to these articles, the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) just issued a statement saying the group and its members “deeply regret that these events have occurred, and we continue to work hard to reduce the likelihood of similar events in the future.” Nowhere in the statement does the AAPM acknowledge specifically what events they are talking about — and they do not even mention the almost incomprehensible human suffering connected to these unnamed “events”. Instead, the AAPM is clearly most interested in pacifying the public so they won’t be worried about the dangers associated with medical radiation. As the statement puts it, the AAPM…
