Glutathione - How Does it Boost My Immune System?
Did you know that glutathione has an effect on your immune system? This means that the amount of glutathione you have in your cells has a direct bearing on whether or not you catch a virus and get sick or not. How would you like to get sick less often than you do now? Who wouldn't, you say? Our human immune system is very complex, and goes beyond the scope of this page. However, there is new research coming out that demonstrates for a fact that glutathione is one of the most powerful supplements to boost or optimize this powerful system. I am happy to share that research with you. It is important to understand the difference between our innate immune system, which we are born with, and our adaptive...
Stem Cells: A Miracle Cure
Stem cell cures have taken the medical world by storm. Diseases which were earlier considered fatal or incurable, are now being evaluated for treatment with stem cells that are obtained from the human body. Stem cells are essentially those which have the potential to develop into many different cell types in the body during early life and growth. These cells can be distinguished from other cell types on the basis of two important characteristics. The first being, these cells are unspecialized and thus capable of renewing themselves through cell division, in spite of long periods of inactivity. And second, these unspecialized cells can be induced to become tissue or organ specific cells that have...

What are Antibodies
Antibodies, also called immunoglobulins are large y-shaped proteins which function to identify and help remove foreign antigens such as viruses and bacteria. In mammals there are five main types of antibodies including: IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, and IgM. There are 4 IgG and 2 IgA subtypes present in humans. Antibodies are created by plasma cells which are derived from the B-cells in the immune system. Due to the fact that antibodies exist freely in the bloodstream or bound to cell membranes, they are said to be part of the humoral immune system. Every different antibody recognizes a specific foreign antigen. This is because the two tips of its "Y" are different to each antibody are allow different...
What is Molecular Biology
Molecular biology is the science of study of biology at the molecular level. William Astbury in Nature described molecular biology as: "... not so much a technique as an approach, an approach from the viewpoint of the so-called basic sciences with the leading idea of searching below the large-scale manifestations of classical biology for the corresponding molecular plan. It is concerned particularly with the forms of biological molecules and ..... is predominantly three-dimensional and structural - which does not mean, however, that it is merely a refinement of morphology - it must at the same time inquire into genesis and function" (W.T. Astbury, Nature 190, 1124. 1961) Molecular biology has...
Outside the Box or coloring outside the lines
But there is a serious problem with trying to apply such thinking too broadly. For instance, creativity is valued in art and advertising, but not in banking and accounting. An accounting firm recently ran an ad suggesting that it could think outside the box. Do you really want your business to be associated with creative accounting Are not accountants supposed to put the numbers in the right box Was not creative accounting a serious problem for Enron In reality, clear thinking and the creativity that it produces are rarely a matter of thinking outside the box. And coloring outside the lines is for the most part just sloppy workmanship. The art of clear thinking is a matter of putting thoughts in...

Multiple Personality Disorder and the Power of the Mind to Heal
Split personality disorder has been an enigma to psychologists and doctors for at least 100 years. It is strange enough that a person can split their personality into at least 2 distinct personas, with some even having 100 separate personalities, changing between them at random. Each personality has their own uniqueness, name and other traits but none of the other personalities are aware of the others. What is even more strange, and psychologists are baffled by this, is the psychological and physiological changes that occur when a different personality takes over. For instance....physical scars on the body disappear and re-appear in an instant with the dominance of different personalities. Let's say...

Would You Like To Be Statistically Diagnosed?
The above title may sound funny but with the advent of microarray technology it is entirely possible for your doctor to ask you a question like this. Namely, any array-based diagnostic test that determines a multi-component disease signature is inherently generating a statistical statement. For example: The test results demonstrate with 90% confidence that your chances to have Disease X are 75% as detected by the marker-pattern, which is up to 85% sensitive and specific to Disease X. The above statement may sound unintelligible and make no medical sense but if you compare the process behind this hypothetical machine-generated statement to traditional clinical diagnostics, then you realize the...

Questions for your doctor?
I had a rewarding experience last week when one of my patients asked me a range of excellent questions about their condition. I had just diagnosed them as having an anxiety disorder. This patient was clearly concerned about possible medication side effects, having had difficulties with these in the past, and wanted to know in detail about the type of psychotherapy that would be most likely to help them. I recommended that they read about the illness on the handouts that I printed out for them, and on a number of websites I suggested, before coming back to see me again to decide on a course of treatment. It was pleasing to have a good open discussion about their best therapeutic options, to not need...
