May 20, 2010 - Tanning Beds Increase Risk of Developing Melanoma Four Fold
Tanning beds are popular devices used by millions of adults across North America for esthetic purposes. This population based case controlled study was able to show a massive increase in risk (4 fold) for those individuals who were regular users of these devices. The risk increased with increasing years of use. We should be considering these devices as carcinogens and warnings should be required to be posted in businesses who sell these tanning treatments.

March 23, 2010 - Thymic Peptide Improves Survival in Metastatic Multiple Myeloma

Take Home Message

Metastatic Multiple Myeloma is a challenging disease to treat with poor survival even with chemotherapy treatment. Thymosin alpha 1 is an isolated peptide extract from calves thymus that has immunomodulatory properties particularly in T cells. In this study it was shown that Thymosin alpha 1 in combination with decarbazine increased overall survival and reducd diseases progression.

Electroacupuncture According to Voll & VegaTest

The VEGATEST method represents a kind of “Direct Dialogue” with the patient. Resistance is measured at some point on the patient’s skin. The organism then reacts with a clear Yes or No to the test substance introduced into the measurement circuit.

Measuring galvanic buccal currents (to check for heavy-metal stress from fillings, for example) is becoming ever more important – and not just in dental practices – for evaluating the patient’s overall stress more accurately.

VEGATESTing makes it possible to carry out systematic single and combination measurements. In this manner, the causes of stresses and diseases can be homed in on step by step. The Remedy Test ascertains, individually for each patient, the most compatible and effective prescription. The VegaTest is not a substitute for a comprehensive intake or physical exam, but can provide useful information which can help in diagnosis and treatment

The VegaTest system is considered an experimental device valid for research purposes only. MCNE makes no claims of diagnosis or treatment with this device.
