However, alternative medicine is often at best a waste of time, and in the worse cases, it proves to be fatal. In this modern age, why do so many people still turn to alternative medicine? If there is one scientifically agreed fact about alternative medicine it is that it simply does not work. Yes, there is a placebo effect, but that does not mean that it is a viable solution! Here we present a few articles on alternative medicine. The Big Con Alternative Medicine is the biggest rip off of all time. Alternative Medicine is a con. Why? Imagine if you read in a newspaper today that scientists had discovered unequivocal proof that mediums could contact the spirits of the dead and that these spirits could be channelled into a healing force that can completely cure the most devastating of ailments. Wouldn&#8217;t that be fantastic! Wouldn&#8217;t that be the most Earth-shattering, life-changing piece of news ever broadcast! Or imagine if they announced that they had proved, beyond any rational doubt, that the Glory of God can be directed and manipulated by a chosen few to the same healing [...]]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.medimise.com/news/alternative-medicine/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Yoga May Help People Quit Smoking</title><link>http://www.medimise.com/news/yoga-may-help-people-quit-smoking</link> <comments>http://www.medimise.com/news/yoga-may-help-people-quit-smoking#comments</comments> <pubDate>Tue, 10 Jan 2012 18:40:40 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Medimise</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[News]]></category> <guid

Smoking is still the biggest cause of early death in women. About 17% of women in the USA smoke and many of these will develop heart disease or cancer as a result. New research is being planned by the Alpert School of Medicine at Brown University to see if yoga may be able to play an important role in helping women to give up smoking. The research will compare women who do yoga plus a standard Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) course to help quit smoking with women who go on a Wellness program and also do the CBT. The proposal for the study discusses how the stresses imposed on quitting smoking as well as a gaining in weight all make quitting smoking much harder. Many women start smoking again after quitting for a short period due to stress. Fear of weight gain is almost as problematic as actual weight gain. Exercise is thought to be an effective way to help people quit smoking as it generally reduces the chances of weight gain and also reduces stress and other withdrawal [...]]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.medimise.com/news/yoga-may-help-people-quit-smoking/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Advice for Coming Off Tranquilisers</title><link>http://www.medimise.com/news/advice-for-coming-off-tranquillizers</link> <comments>http://www.medimise.com/news/advice-for-coming-off-tranquillizers#comments</comments> <pubDate>Fri, 23 Dec 2011 19:56:51 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Medimise</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[News]]></category> <guid

This is becoming a real concern to many people, especially now that we are seeing more children prescribed tranquilisers to help calm them and suppress their condition. tranquilisers are only capable of curing the symptoms of a disorder / mental condition, but are not capable of curing the condition itself. For this reason, it is important to attempt to resolve the issues that have led to the condition at the same time that you attempt to reduce and finally stop taking tranquilisers. Care must be taken to prevent withdrawal symptoms when stopping a treatment of tranquillisers of any kind. Follow these steps to help: Visit your doctor and ask for advice concerning stopping the treatment. If a GP says that coping with withdrawal will be easy, then it may be advisable to seek a second opinion, as withdrawal can be a very difficult process. Be prepared to experience many unwanted symptoms such as loss of appetite, lethargy, poor concentration, numbness in extremities, panic, guilt, anxiety, depression, [...]]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.medimise.com/news/advice-for-coming-off-tranquillizers/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>WHO issues Europe measles warning</title><link>http://www.medimise.com/news/who-issues-europe-measles-warning</link> <comments>http://www.medimise.com/news/who-issues-europe-measles-warning#comments</comments> <pubDate>Thu, 08 Dec 2011 11:45:04 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Medimise</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[News]]></category> <guid

The World Health Organisation has today issued a warning that measles is reaching pandemic proportions. So far in 2011 there have been over 26,000 reported cases of measles in Europe. 14,000 of the cases were in France alone, with most cases being reported in Western Europe. Measles can be fatal, so far 9 people have died from the disease this year. There have already been 1000 cases in England and Wales also, which is 3 times more than last year. Measles is a completely preventable disease, however, in the last decade many people were never innoculated or vaccinated due to the MMR scandal. The WHO are urging European government to take action and make a real effort to increase vaccinations. Even though the doctor behind the false MMR scare has been stripped off his right to practice medicine, some people still think that MMR will harm their babies, so do not vaccinate. It is outrageous that one piece of poor research could cause a whole region of the world fear vaccination against a deadly disease.

isPermaLink="false">http://www.medimise.com/?p=1154</guid> <description><![CDATA[TweetVistaGen Therapeutics, Inc., a biotechnology company focused on stem cell-based drug rescue and drug development, recently completed a $3.87 million financing (including cancellation of $1.0 million of debt) to accredited investors, including a $1.5 million investment by Platinum Long Term Growth Fund. The Company is focused on rescuing the investments made by pharmaceutical companies in promising drug candidates that have been “put on the shelf” due to heart toxicity concerns. By combining its stem cell technology platform, Human Clinical Trials in a Test Tube(TM), with modern medicinal chemistry and three-dimensional (3D) “micro-organ” culture systems, the company plans to create new, safer, proprietary drug rescue variants of once promising original drug candidates. VistaGen uses its human pluripotent stem cell technology to generate early indications, or predictions, of how humans will ultimately respond to new drug candidates long before they are ever tested in humans. The company anticipates that CardioSafe 3D(TM), the first bioassay system derived from its Human Clinical Trials in a Test Tube(TM) platform, will allow it to assess the heart toxicity profile of new drug candidates with greater speed and precision than nonclinical in vitro techniques and other technologies currently used in the drug development process.

This interview will take you through the ups and downs you can expect in the position, what it takes to land the job, what you can expect to earn and more.  If you ask my friends or family what I do for a living, you’ll get a variety of answers. I look in a microscope all day. I play with pee. I draw blood. Even my mother, a nurse of over twenty years, has only the faintest idea of what I do all day. Simply put, I’m the lab. If you go to the doctor, they send your blood and urine specimens to me. If you end up in the ER and need blood, I’m the one who finds blood for you. I work in the field of medical technology and I’m a medical laboratory scientist. My career path has not been a straight one. I enrolled in college as an engineering major but quickly realized the field wasn’t for me. I changed my major to microbiology and fell in love with the microscopic world. Unfortunately, without a doctorate, jobs were scarce.

If you are suffering from back pain, stiff neck and neck pain, issues with digestion and even premature wrinkles, it could be because your sleeping position is wrong! Read on to know the five best and the worst positions in which to sleep. Best Sleeping Positions Here are the best five sleeping positions. Note that some negatives are associated even with these positions; however, the benefits far outweigh them. Sleeping on your back When you sleep on your back on a level surface, you can prevent back and neck pain. You can also bring down acid reflux, minimize wrinkles, and best of all, keep your breasts upright and perky! Avoid the sag! When you sleep on your back, your neck, head and spine rest in a neutral position. This ensures that no extra curves are forced into your back, say chiropractors. The back position fights acid reflux since the stomach is positioned below the esophagus when the head is elevated, preventing acid from coming up. You are able to avoid wrinkles in this position because gravity does not push anything against your face. Negative: This position is [...]]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.medimise.com/news/5-best-and-worst-sleep-positions/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
