Oral Sex and Increase in Oral Cancer Rates

I'm wanting to write something about the seriousness of oral sex but don't know whether I will have time to do it today.  I will just introduce the topic because it has been in the news but to a limited extent as with many other important issues, it is not covered nearly enough as it should be. 

There is an increase, a rise (if you'll pardon the pun here) in the incidents of oral cancer specifically related to oral sex so it is a real issue of concern for many people, particularly young people who may or may not be aware of the dangers. 

Other diseases such as Chlamydia and other undesirables are also possible if ones partner is not healthy, oral contact can introduce and spread. 

Not sure how this should be discussed with young people as well as others but I know that it should be information made available to people with multiple partners who are sexually active. 

The government? The media?  Should they make this information more available, I think so.  I think promoting condoms in New York City for example is a bit much but not this, the dangerous rise of cancer due to oral sex is something we need to be discussing and protecting against however that protection may be provided for. 

More on this in days to come. 

Canadian Maple Syrup News

The good people at World Health.net by way of NutraIngredients have fresh off the press released new findings regarding the health benefits of Canadian maple syrup. 

The compound produced from maple tree contains anti-cancer constituents ("23 naturally derived phenolics") that are anti cancer cell proliferation.  Further studies are necessary and there is a question as to whether or not these properties are native to the sap of the tree or during processing but this is very exciting news and a reminder that trees, including the Yew tree that produces the constituents that go into chemo therapy drug, Tamoxifen, Taxol, comes from the Yew tree. 

Other tree bark substances and constituents have proven strong against life threatening diseases such as cancer.

The Miraculous Fish Oil & Postpartum Depression Avoidance

Although no specific cause is often cited, the connection between postpartum depression  (that very unwelcome psychological downturn women often experience after childbirth) and  supplementing with fish oil is an interesting one that is not  discussed often enough with women of childbearing age. 

Doctors are now more aware of the connection because loss of omega fatty acids from the mother during pregnancy and research findings that reveal this connection.  I think it deserves some thoughtful analysis here to see the relationship and necessity to replace with supplements as well as diet of course, what nature has removed during nine months of building a new life. 

The growing fetus takes all the nutrition it needs from the expectant mother, we know that much but, what we don't consider too often and it should be more in the public purview is that as the mother loses elemental brain constituents that will later have a very nasty recoil of depression. 

The postpartum depression syndrome has a nasty recoil and can go from mild crying and discontent to refusal to nurture the newborn and other destructive manifestations that can be avoided.  The information concerning supplementing with fish oil and or Omega 3 fatty acids (for example flax seed ) while pregnant and after pregnancy as well has proven to offset postpartum depression and to make for healthier, more intelligent children.

It just makes sense that supplementing with fish oil and perhaps of course under your doctor's supervision (fish oil is a blood thinner) should be in the knowledge base of women who will enjoy the benefits of replenishing what their body (their brains actually) have sacrificed by necessity to the fetus as he or she grows.  Your children will be more intelligent and enjoy a decrease in the possibility of certain neurological disorders as well. 

We come from the ocean of our mother's womb and there too the beautiful relationship to an  aquatic life before our life outside the pool of our inception shows us how strong our primal connection to the sea is and to the need for our bodies, specficially our brains to have the proper amount of specifically fish oil and Omega 3 fatty acids for wellness.

Fish oil has been found useful to offset certain other psychological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease and non pregnancy related mild depression disorders, the information is available to us although, we don't always have the time and energy to do the research.  The information is vital and more analysis will be forthcoming on this blog and to your health and longevity.

Alkaline vs Acidic Food for Health and to Fight Cancer

Alkaline or acid overload (acidosis)?  Over consumption of red meat protein, tomatoes and other foods that cause a high level of acidity, acidosis, in the blood are responsible in part for conditions that set the stage for various diseases including cancer and heart disease. 

In people who are free of disease and these foods are fine in a balanced diet there is usually no issue but when cancer has had the opportunity to develop it is in part because of acidic conditions in the body which cancer cells find opportunistic and allow for their easier development.  Inflammation is part of the issue with cancer and other age related disorders and acidity is often associated with inflammation in the body. 

People who have suffered cancer development owe it to themselves to periodically test their pH levels on a daily basis.  Ph kits for testing of the alkaline/acidity in saliva or the urine are inexpensive and can be purchased at your local pharmacy or off the web.  Although they are not often recommended by doctors that does not mean they are not useful.  Ph kits are useful and to augment your doctors medical advice.  The knowledge they provide is extremely useful and gives you insight into how your body's level of acidity or lack of thereof are balanced or out of balance.  

Diet and dietary changes are useful in restoring a healthy pH are well worth the small investment in your  money and time.
