Ultraviolet Blood Therapy Makes A Strong Comeback

Ultraviolet blood irradiation was a popular therapy for viral and bacterial infections, and polio, in the 1930's.

The state of euphoria over the discovery of vaccines and antibiotics had pushed ultraviolent blood therapy over the edge of disuse that it was almost forgotten.

But thanks to the increasing appreciation by a small but growing number of practioners of the dangers and lack of efficacy of vaccines, the rising resistance of various strains of bacteria to antibiotics, the side effects associated with anti-bacterials, and the thorny issue of treating viruses [including AIDS], ultraviolet blood therapy is now being resurrected as a viable alternative treatment.

Prevent Osteoporosis With Nutrition

I've stated in my previous post that avoiding osteoporosis is by far the best way of preventing it. And this is best done through proper nutrition, which is largely overlooked by most doctors.

Let's discuss first the current approach in osteoporosis management, which seemingly does not work. This focuses on boosting estrogen levels to delay the advance of menopause, and supplementing with calcium.

Estrogen therapy merely defers what is inevitable and its use for purely prophylactic reasons is highly questionable, considering the numerous risks associated with its use.

Osteoporosis - A Disease Hounding Women

Osteoporosis, or the thinning of the bones, affects women more than men. It can lead to a humpback posture due to the collapse of the vertebra. A fractured hip is the most serious consequence of osteoporosis.

But did you know that more women in developed countries die from fracture of the neck of femur than from cancer of the breast, cervix, and uterus, combined? The link to osteoporosis here is that consumption of dairy products is higher in these nations than in underdeveloped or developing ones.
