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
isPermaLink="false">http://www.medimise.com/?p=1205</guid> <description><![CDATA[TweetIt has been reported that family doctors and health professionals are increasingly prescribing tranquilisers and sedatives to patients who are suffering from conditions such as stress, anxiety and other stress related mental health conditions. 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>Nanoparticle Galvanic and Kirkendall effect demonstrated</title><link>http://www.medimise.com/medical-research/nanoparticle-galvanic-and-kirkendall-effect-demonstrated</link> <comments>http://www.medimise.com/medical-research/nanoparticle-galvanic-and-kirkendall-effect-demonstrated#comments</comments> <pubDate>Fri, 09 Dec 2011 09:49:44 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Medimise</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Medical Research]]></category> <guid

The chemical process hollows out particles made from silver with cationic gold. Cationic gold has had some electrons removed and when it comes into contact with the tiny silver cubes at room temperature the cationic gold &#8220;attacks&#8221; and &#8220;carves&#8221; out the silver cube as it steals the electrons. Once the silver has lost its electrons it dissolves into a liquid solution and the cationic gold is transformed into normal metallic gold as it gains the missing electrons. The end effect is that the gold then protects the silver from further action, but a single hole is left on the cube allowing more cationic gold to burrow into the cube. After a while a new process starts, the Kirkendall effect, where the silver atoms inside the cube start releasing more electrons while moving to the edge of the cube and then being transformed into the liquid state. What is really clever is that the scientists can now control how the process advances so that they can create shapes of their choosing. The diagram shows a series of complex nanoparticles that have been created using this process. Alchemy and Nano-drugs This process [...]]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.medimise.com/medical-research/nanoparticle-galvanic-and-kirkendall-effect-demonstrated/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.
