Even more so than depression, I think, anxiety is the big disabler in my life, with a capital D. That is why I try to nip my anxiety in its early symptoms. That doesn’t always happen, of course, but here are some techniques I try, and seem to work for me. Who knows, maybe they’ll work for you too! 1. Recognize the reptilian brain. My therapist friend Elvira Aletta gives a brilliant neuropsychology lesson in one of her posts where she explains the two parts of our brain: the primitive part containing the amygdala — which is responsible for generating and processing our fear and other primal emotions — and our frontal lobes...

This is the first evidence of how exposure to diesel fumes can cause cancer. The researchers found that more new blood vessels sprouted in mice exposed to diesel exhaust than did in mice exposed [...] (Source: psa-rising.com/blog) psa-rising.com/blog blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2774884 Tue, 08 Sep 2009 07:02:34 +0100 2774884 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2074170&cid=t_103964_87_f&fid=34935&url=http%3A%2F%2Fmedicine.com.my%2Fwp%2F%3Fp%3D5703 It’s rather far-fetched but Wired has an article on a Californian plastic surgeon who (probably falsely) claimed that he has made bioiesel from the fat he obtains from liposuction It isn’t a stretch to think that someone could use human fat to make biodiesel. After all, any animal or vegetable fat contains triglycerides that can be used to make diesel. As Forbes.com notes, a gallon of fat yields about a gallon of fuel, and Bittner was awash in the stuff. “The vast majority of my patients request that I use their fat for fuel — and I have more fat than I can use,” Bittner wrote on his website, lipodiesel.com, which has since been taken down. “Not only do they get to lose their love handles or chubby belly, but they get to take part in saving the Earth.”...

Researchers report in an American Cancer Society publication that reducing exposure to such compounds could prevent many women from developing the disease. Family history and genetic make-up are responsible for only a small percentage of breast cancer cases. Environmental and lifestyle factors, such as diet, are most likely involved in the majority of cases, say experts.These finding are too incomplete to make widespread conclusions, but still, they are considered "the most comprehensive compilation to date of chemicals identified as mammary carcinogens" and are so convincing t...
