Today brought news of two recalls. One in veterinary medicine and one in Johnson & Johnson over-the-counter products.
If you have a dog or cat, you need to know because all veterinarians have not yet been informed - even though the recall was MONTHS ago.
And, if you have Tylenol, Benadryl, Rolaids, or any other Johnson & Johnson products in your home, you need to find out if they're among the contaminated lots.
Go to Pharm-free health to read both this morning's post about veterinary medicine and tonight's about Johnson & Johnson.

Dogs Best Technology in Cancer Detection
We all know dogs have a keen sense of smell...
But a new report says that in tests, dogs can best technology in detecting lung, breast, and other cancers.
Simply by smelling a human's breath, a trained dog is accurate 88-97% of the time, while multi-million dollar scanners boast an accuracy rate between 85-90%
I think if someone told me I had cancer, I might want to get a second opinion from a dog before subjecting myself to surgery!

Cancer Prevention through Diet

After years of ignoring diet and nutrition, medical researchers are finally admitting that what we eat does matter. The good news is that we can increase our chances of avoiding cancer by making some changes in our eating habits.

Not Just Women - Everyone at Risk from Radiation
My last post talked about the dangers of mammograms - that too frequent testing can lead to breast cancer.
Well, a few days after learning that, I read another report. This time it's about CT Scans.
While they can be a valuable tool for diagnosing an illness, they're being over used. And, when over used, they can cause cancer.

Have Women Been Duped?
If you read the report I found from Newsmax this morning, you just might decide that yes, for many years now, women have been duped.
That wouldn't be so bad if it was just about the money that doctors and hospitals have been raking in by scaring women into having regular mammograms. But it isn't just about the money - it's about putting women at an increased risk for breast cancer.
Please read this Blaylock report and think about it. This is way beyond scary.

New News on Cancer Prevention from Your Spice Shelf
Did you know that a spice that may be residing in your cupboard right now can help you prevent cancer - or help you recover and reduce the debilitating side effects if you are undergoing chemotherapy?
Not everyone uses it, but it's a staple in Indian cuisine. That spice is Tumeric. It's been used for centuries for pain relief - and that is, in fact, where I first heard about it. A friend who suffers from an old back injury recommended it.

Are you trying to lose weight and failing?
The reason may be that you aren't eating enough!
The fact is: Starvation Diets Can Make You Gain Weight
You may have bemoaned the fact that you’ve been on a near-starvation diet for weeks and haven’t lost a pound since the first week.
You feel miserable because you’re hungry, and you’re getting nowhere with their hopes for a slimmer figure.
Then, in a fit of self-pity, you indulge in a big juicy ...
