 HEALTH  WELLNESS &  RESEARCH

This section is for YOU-  people who understand that the larger part of maintaining good health and wellness, on many levels remains in YOUR grasp. Taking good care of you can mean setting aside personal time to pay attention to obvious or subtle  indicators of your well-being. It can mean exploring news and research  you encounter when you scroll on down... .

CANCER RESEARCH:

Researchers at the University of Washington reportedly discovered that a certain herb by itself can cause 28% reduction in breast cancer cells, but when it was combined with iron, it can eliminate up to 98% of the cancer cells without affecting the normal cells.   “Not only does it appear to be effective, but it’s very selective,” Professor Lai said. “It’s highly toxic to the cancer cells, but has a marginal impact on normal breast cells.”

When the researchers at UW tested  artemisinin-based compound on human leukemia cells, they discovered that it was highly selective at targeting and killing cancer cells.

The chemistry professor at UW and the leading author of the study, Dr Tomikazu Sasaki reported:  “The artemisinin-based compound is like a special agent planting a bomb inside the cell. This compound is selective and effective for eliminating different cancers including leukemia, breast and prostate in laboratory animals”.

In 2011, Tu was awarded the prestigious Lasker-DeBakey Clinical Medical Research Award for her discovery. The discovery of artemisinin is reportedly being considered for a Nobel Prize in Medicine.

ALZHEIMER'S RESEARCH    

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences Journal, 2013-  found brain shrinkage was reduced by 90 percent in particular areas of the brain most vulnerable in Alzheimer's.Vitamins B6, B12 and folic acid lower levels of homocysteine may reduce Alzheimer's disease risk.

STRESS RESEARCH

RESEARCH- Medical News today-   Holy Basil can help the body to adapt to and cope with stress by reducing the stress hormone cortisol in the blood stream. It is also said to rejuvenate adrenal glands. This is backed up by research.

Good news for inflammatory wellness challenges such as arthritis and inflammatory bowel diseases- "extracts of O. tenuiflorm (Holy Basil) were shown to reduce swelling by up to 73%, 24 hours after treatment".

Possibly of interest to Post50 Older Adults- “Holy Basil extract was effective at killing off harmful molecules and preventing damage caused by some free radicals in the liver, brain and heart.”

 Purdue University reports, “Given the high relative antioxidant activity of selected basils, these plants could constitute new sources of antioxidant phenolics in the diet... .”

WELLNESS - sustainable excellence on levels of body, mind and spirit- is of great interest to many people today. Post-50-People  tend to dismiss outmoded aging stereotypes. These mature adults intend to apply "TLC" to overall health.

More and more people in the "encore phases" of life happily look toward integrative health care.

Practitioners say this model works- regardless of a person's age. At The Sage Companion Project, we note that  "boomers" and people in their late 60s and 70s actually influence age-friendly technologies and , as a consumer group, have a powerful  say in the direction of their own future... The Boomer Effect.
