August 24, 2018There are therapies to ease your symptoms of cancer or the treatment side effects that might include pain, nausea, fatigue or anxiety. You might want to consider looking beyond the tandard medicine for some alternative solutions. The complementary therapies may not always cure the disease, (but certainly might) but many of them can help you […]
There are many forms of bullying in the workplace, whether it happens to be a co-worker who “forgets” to share important information, a clique that spreads gossip or even a boss who humiliates subordinates. These are all definitions of a hostile work environment that no one should have to be subjected to. Intimidation, threats, and […]
In an article I found, 3 centenarians shared their life stories and words of wisdom on longevity. This was especially interesting to me since my father was 100 years old when he passed and my mother was nearing 98. They all agreed that a positive attitude, gratitude and appreciation for living is apparent and […]
Graphene to Detect Cancer Cells

This system is able to detect the level of activity of an […]

A combination of traditional, and what your doctor might call complementary medicine, is the definition of holistic care. An example might be treating cancer with chemotherapy and acupuncture. Chemo and radiation are proven to fight the disease, but […]
Postdoctoral Researcher Guillaume Jacquemet and Academy Professor Johanna Ivaska have screened already approved drugs and discovered that calcium channel blockers can efficiently stop cancer cell invasion in vitro. These blockers are currently being used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) but their potential use in blocking cancer cell metastases has not been previously reported. Cancer’s […]
Honor Whitman wrote an interesting article on women and how optimism might boost their longevity. I thought this was an interesting view and so, so true.
