AFRICAN DIABETES SPICE. HELP FOR DIABETICS? Thanks 'hockeyguru'. If you've ever eaten West African cuisine, you may have come across the pungent peppery spice known as grains of paradise or Aframomum melegueta, a member of the ginger family that grows well in the swamps along the coast.
The spice has long been known in African folklore as a medicine that aids digestion and now western scientists say it might also be a powerful diabetes treatment.

SCIENTISTS DISCOVER SECRET 'DEATH' PROTEIN. Thanks 'hockeyguru'. Scientists at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute have identified a previously undetected trigger point on a naturally occurring "death protein" that helps the body get rid of unwanted or diseased cells. They say it may be possible to exploit the newly found trigger as a target for designer drugs that would treat cancer by forcing malignant cells to commit suicide.

EARTH CLINIC. SITE FULL OF NATURAL REMEDIES. OPENS MY MIND. COOL.

18 POWERFUL MEDICINAL PLANTS HERE. Thanks 'sweetsfoods'. Alfalfa is fodder for livestock for a reason: it's incredibly rich in minerals and health-promoting nutrients and compounds. With roots that grow 20 to 30 feet deep, alfalfa is considered the "father of all plants". (It also contains a high amount of protein for a green.) Alfalfa originally grew in the Mediterranean and Middle East but has now spread to most of Europe and the Americans. It can treat morning sickness, nausea, kidney stones, kidney pain and urinary discomfort. It is a powerful diuretic and has a bit of stimulant power, helping to energize after a bout with illness. It's a liver and bowel cleanser and long-term can help reduce cholesterol. You can purchase seeds and sprouts, but it's fine to eat the leaves straight from the earth.

CONE SHELL SNAILS. TACKLING BIG PAIN. Thanks 'berrypicker'. Thanks to their unique colors and intricate patterns, cone shells look like they'd make great beach souvenirs. But watch your fingers; they're actually home to one of the world's deadliest creatures. Cone shell snails come equipped with an extendable "arm"--complete with a sharp, venomous tooth--that they use to immobilize and kill prey. And while the venom certainly helps the slow-moving hunters from going hungry, it can also paralyze, or even kill, victims. The good news--death by cone shell is completely painless.

CANNABIS LINKED TO EARIER PSYCHOSIS ONSET. Thanks 'aliasinkhorn'. NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Researchers from Spain have found a strong and independent link between cannabis use and the onset of psychosis at a younger age. The association, they say, cannot be explained by chance, and is not related to gender or the use of other drugs. It is, however, related to the amount of cannabis used.

GENUS OR QUACKS? REICH AND RIFE. DID THEY KNOW TOO MUCH? YOU DECIDE. That doctors in China recently discovered a way of freezing cancer cells to destroy them is a sign of hope that, at long last, the powerful drug companies and the high-paid pill pushers we send out of our medical schools are losing their grip on the medical world.
It is a sad fact that cures for cancer have been known for a very long time in the United States. The story behind this "secret" is so ugly, most people may find it hard to believe anyone would purposefully do something so evil.
