Bee Venom Can Kill HIV, Study Says

Bee Venom Can Kill HIV, Study Says
Scientists from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have discovered bee venom can kill the HIV virus without harming the body. Bees could hold the key to preventing HIV transmission. Scientists at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. "Our hope is that in places where HIV is running rampant, people could use this as a preventative measure to stop the initial infection," Joshua Hood, one of the authors of the study, said in a statement. The researchers attached melittin to nanoparticles that are physically smaller than HIV, which is smaller than body cells. "Based on this finding, we propose that melittin-loaded nanoparticles are well-suited for use as topical vaginal HIV virucidal agents," they write. Because the toxin attacks the virus' outer layer, the virus is likely unable to develop a resistance to the substance, which could make it more effective than other HIV drugs. The group plans to soon test the gel in clinical trials. Source: US News Related:

Scientists Officially Link Processed Foods To Autoimmune Disease Image Credit: Wikipedia The modern diet of processed foods, takeaways and microwave meals could be to blame for a sharp increase in autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis, including alopecia, asthma and eczema. A team of scientists from Yale University in the U.S and the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, in Germany, say junk food diets could be partly to blame. ‘This study is the first to indicate that excess refined and processed salt may be one of the environmental factors driving the increased incidence of autoimmune diseases,’ they said. Junk foods at fast food restaurants as well as processed foods at grocery retailers represent the largest sources of sodium intake from refined salts. The Canadian Medical Association Journal sent out an international team of researchers to compare the salt content of 2,124 items from fast food establishments such as Burger King, Domino’s Pizza, Kentucky Fried Chicken, McDonald’s, Pizza Hut and Subway.

Karma? Rootworm Damaging Ineffective GMO Corn Rootworms are the bane of any corn farmer’s existence, and despite the efforts of the world’s biggest biotech agribusinesses to genetically engineer corn to grow their own pesticides, they’re still chewing. Swiss-based Syngenta and St. Louis-based Monsanto are on the defense as scientists accuse their GM corn of being faulty, thanks to a “cross-resistance” to rootworm. There’s something providential about a lowly beetle so easily wreaking havoc on one of humanity’s most horrifically remarkable creations. Clearly, Mother Nature trumps us every time, but it’s a pill the likes of Monsanto and Syngenta aren’t willing to swallow without a fight. The Far-Reaching Dangers of Pesticides Pesticide-resistance pests are nothing new. Furthermore, increased use of pesticides and GMOs leads to the creation of more resistant insects, something Lance Meinke, an entomology professor at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln told Bloomberg last Wednesday. Monsanto Says, “Don’t Worry, Buy More”

Monsanto weedkiller and GM maize in 'shocking' cancer study The world’s best-selling weedkiller, and a genetically modified maize resistant to it, can cause tumours, multiple organ damage and lead to premature death, new research published today reveals. In the first ever study to examine the long-term effects of Monsanto’s Roundup weedkiller, or the NK603 Roundup-resistant GM maize also developed by Monsanto, scientists found that rats exposed to even the smallest amounts, developed mammary tumours and severe liver and kidney damage as early as four months in males, and seven months for females, compared with 23 and 14 months respectively for a control group. “This research shows an extraordinary number of tumours developing earlier and more aggressively - particularly in female animals. I am shocked by the extreme negative health impacts,” said Dr Michael Antoniou, molecular biologist at King’s College London, and a member of CRIIGEN, the independent scientific council which supported the research.

16 Magnesium Deficiency Symptoms - Signs of Low Magnesium Levels You may know what magnesium is, but do you know how important the mineral can be for your health? Magnesium is involved with over 300 metabolic processes in our bodies, leading to the mineral being called the ‘master mineral’. So what exactly does it mean to have a magnesium deficiency, and what are some magnesium deficiency symptoms? Why Supplementing with Magnesium is a Good Idea Firstly, magnesium is necessary for the proper transportation of calcium across cell membranes. Minerals are more important than vitamins, which struggle actually struggle without minerals. The master mineral magnesium is missing from most of our topsoil, leaving the vast majority, perhaps 80%, with a failure to meet even the USDA’s recommended dietary allowance (RDA) of 240 to 420 millgrams (based on age). While observing bodily signs can help, you may want to have some tests administered in the end to test whether or not you’re deficient in magnesium. 16 Magnesium Deficiency Symptoms Additional Sources: Webmd

Dr. Bruce Lipton: The Biology of Belief - Where Mind and Matter Meet A radically new understanding is unfolding at the leading edge of science: Dr. Lipton's profoundly hopeful synthesis of the latest and best research in cell biology and quantum physics is being hailed as a major breakthrough showing that our bodies can be changed as we retrain our thinking. “You can live a life of fear or live a life of love. You have the choice! “We have to come to a new way of understanding biology. Rob Williams, M.A. and Originator of PSYCH-K, discusses how beliefs determine your biological and behavioral realities and shows how to establish communication with the subconscious to "rewrite the software of the mind" and facilitate change. Rob Williams — The Psychology of Change What's the take away from Dr. “We can control our lives by controlling our perceptions.” — Dr. Related Posts

President Of Uruguay, Donates 90 Percent Of Salary To Charity Uruguay has an impressive GDP considering it’s the second-smallest nation in South America, but its president lives more like a pauper –- on purpose. Jose Mujica, 77, was elected in 2009, but he has no interest in taking on the grand presidential lifestyle. According to the BBC, Mujica donates 90 percent of his salary to charity and lives in a farmhouse off a dirt road where he and his wife work the land themselves. The austere leader earns $12,500 a month, but only keeps $1,250 for himself, he told the Spanish newspaper El Mundo, according to a translation by Univision. “I do fine with that amount; I have to do fine because there are many Uruguayans who live with much less,” Mujica told the paper. "This is a matter of freedom,” Mujica told the BBC. While speaking at the Rio +20 United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development in June, Mujica espoused his philosophy on poverty and consumption. “We need to start to fight for another kind of culture. ...
