After analyzing eight different studies from Switzerland and Italy, researchers found that adults who have the highest intake of onions or garlic in their diet had the lowest risk [...]
Patients with leukemia and other blood diseases who receive bone marrow transplants rich in stem cells, often saving their lives, may be more likely to develop cancer years later, a study says. Canadian scientists say hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients face a significant long-term risk of developing a second cancer. Researchers followed the progress of [...]
Bacteria that can cause deadly infections in humans and animals have shown promise in treating cancer by “eating” tumors from the inside out. Two new studies at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center have demonstrated that, combined with specially-packaged anti-cancer drugs, the bacterial therapy’s prospects for cancer eradication has dramatically improved. Boffins conducting the studies, [...]
Prime Minister Stephen Harper is remaining true to a pre-election campaign promise by investing $260 million to set up a new national body aimed at fighting cancer. Stephen Harper has informed the public over the establishment of the Canadian Partnership against Cancer, which gathers a team of more than 700 cancer experts who will seek [...]
A new technique has been developed at Singapore’s National University Hospital to detect cancer in its earliest stages, a team of researchers said on Saturday. Called an “optical biopsy,†the technique can detect so-called pre-cancers – collections of a few hundred malignant cells lurking among millions of healthy cells – that usually fly under the [...]
Mr. Anton Balasingham, theoretician and political advisor of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) has been diagnosed with bile duct cancer (cholangiocarcinoma), a rare and aggressive malignancy of the biliary system.

All cells in our body are programmed to die. They have a limited lifespan and they die when they are damaged, worn out or no longer needed by the body. This is a normal process called apoptosis, programmed cell death, that the body depends on to be healthy. When cells die they are replaced by [...]
More stress can lead to the growth and spread of cancer and controlling stress might help to control it, reveals a new study. A remarkable research finding suggests that Stress hormone Norepinephrin can stimulate cancer tumor cells to produce compounds that can break down of the tissue around the tumor cells and allow the cells [...]
Scientists helping to develop the next generation of cancer beating drugs say they have had a major breakthrough with their latest results. The new drugs would target an enzyme that helps cells divide; in cancer, this enzyme is called Aurora B. This enzyme can go into overdrive and possibly lead to uncontrolled and abnormal cell [...]

Your immune system is highly dependent on your cells producing glutathione to aid in the prevention of all illnesses and diseases! Glutathione protects the cells in your body against free radical damages [...]
Biologists and medical practitioners have proven through extensive scientific research and testing that every living organism renews its cells as it gradually matures. If we accept Proust’s metaphor that “a nation is a huge organized accumulation of individuals,” then when cultural norms change so does the nation as a whole entity. Based on this assumption, [...]
