Recent Positive Medical Advances
These three studies reveal some very interesting potential advances. There are no hidden agendas or conspiracies with these reports, and some people in high places actually want to help humanity. The thread is to show some balance with good news with what is going on in the world to help us not be so paranoid about the growing forces of evil.
Major Breakthrough in Macular Degeneration
Researchers find biological marker that could aid in treatment, prevention
June 16, 2009
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is one of the leading causes of blindness in adults, a growing problem as the population ages. Now a team of researchers at the University of Kentucky has raised hope for early detection and preventive treatment.
Neovascular (or "wet-type") macular degeneration is caused by choroidal neovascularization (CNV) – the invasive growth of new blood vessels in the thin vascular layer that provides nourishment and oxygen to the eye. Central vision loss occurs when these abnormal blood vessels invade the retina, the light-sensitive tissue that lines the inner surface of the eyeball.
"Once the vessels invade the retina, the horse has already left the barn," Ambati said. "At that point, drugs can slow the process, but irreparable damage has often already been done. This is why finding a means for early detection and intervention is so important."
Thus the same anti-CCR3 antibodies used to detect CNV could potentially be useful as a clinical treatment to prevent macular degeneration.

Turning wood into bone: peg-leg science
16 June 2009
Pirates can now trade in their peg-legs for real legs as scientists transform wood into bone.
In a Royal Society of Chemistry journal Italian chemists show that ordinary wood can be turned into bone suitable for repairing damaged limbs.
This structure retention could help the bone be integrated into the body more easily than current replacement materials, which do not share this organic-like structure.

Origin of Life 'Gateway' Remains Hidden
by Brian Thomas, M.S.*
June, 2009
UK researchers believe they may have “broken new ground” in the ongoing quest to find out how living cells first evolved. The New York Times proclaimed, “An English chemist has found the hidden gateway” to the origin of life.1 But despite the claim that the scientists “have developed an experiment that sheds new and fascinating light on how life on Earth might have begun,”2 what they really demonstrated was that the molecules of life can only come from living cells.
The researchers stated that “at some stage in the origin of life, an informational polymer must have arisen by purely chemical means.”3 But this is not a scientific observation. It is a statement of faith based on belief in an exclusively naturalistic explanation for what can be observed. The current study reaffirms the results of all such previous research—life comes from life.

I think about the benefits of this technology will help the Gates, and Rocefellers, and the elite remain in power 700 years or more.

Although any positive development
is welcome, one of the simpler things we follow for those with macular degeneration is omitting all and everything to do with canola oil, the Canadian rape seed oil. This oil has taken the place of the good and healthy oils. It has been promoted as the heart healthy oil to use and you can find its application in many many processed foods. They simply forgot to mention the damage it does to health and has been implicated in this very condition.
Hannah: What about olive oil?
I thought that olive and canola oils were both mono-unsaturated oils and are both in this same class of "good" oils.
Olive oil and canola oil
are 2 totally different concepts. Olive oil is natural (but be aware that some do mix the 2 for whatever reason, probably to make a profit). Extra virgin cold pressed olive oil has a darker greenish colour. Most olive oil you see in the shops are tinted towards slight green but mostly browinsh-yellow.
Many good articles on google about canola oil but here is just one:

Hannah2: Thanks for additional info.
Being Italian has already predisposed me to olive oil from birth.
Canola oil: How is it even allowed to be sold? This stuff is pure poison from this info.
Great.
.
Now I get to pi$$ my wife off - yet again - by trying to dictate what foods can and cannot be consumed in our house.
I just need to send her more info on this canola situation.
I've actually known it was a problem since about 2003, but I've been in denial about it I suppose.
Does anyone have any recommendations regarding what I can use instead of rice milk that doesn't have these poisons? I realize organic cows and goats milk would be optimal, but MAN it is hard to find and it's expensive.

Re rice milk
I haven't come across any ready made rice milk which didn't have some nasty stuff added to it.
Your best bet is: make your own. It's not that hard although you might want to experiment a little as different rice gives different results. Google for methods of making it and try it out.
I know it is laborious but your best bet is to stay away from anything processed.. meaning in cans, cartons, plastic, even bottled unless you bottle it yourself so you know what is in it.
Uggggh
.
I know.
We try, but it would be an uphill battle to come in and start banishing it all at this point.
Thanks for the bad news.....lol

We drink rice milk that has canola oil along with other oils
.
Am I screwing up royally by consuming that?
Man, we are screwed no matter what we do.

And now for the rest of the story...
Age-related macular degeneration is nasty, nasty business. However, most of it is "dry" ARMD, and the "wonder drug" does nothing for it.
The few people who develop "wet" ARMD are the focus of a LOT of pharmaceutical industries. There is this REALLY expensive way to treat it, you inject some very toxic stuff into the patient, then laser the problem areas. The drug alone is over a thousand bucks a dose. Early detection is about getting every dime for that drug that they can get their hands on.
IF the day comes they actually market a preventative medication from this, I will HAPPILY eat these words.
Science makes great discoveries. Corporations try to make sure they do not get to the public without a healthy profit being realized. I have no problem with free markets, but when a marketplace is so filled with lies it is not free.
Want to avoid that whole ARMD wet or dry? Blueberries and fish oil is my regimen. I worked in ophthalmology for decades, and when I met an old person with fabulous eyes, I asked them what they were doing.
Truth exists, and it deserves to be cherished.
paul: This study is an early detection method of before the.....
condition actually manifests. That is the main breakthrough and perhaps also a treatment for this grim condition. The definitive treatment for this is another issue that I hope can be found. I agree with your preventative remedies and use them also.
Thanks for reading.
I sincerely hope they succeed.
ARMD is devastating. Old folks get to where all they have left is to read, and then they lose that.
Truth exists, and it deserves to be cherished.
