All who are convinced that tea works best for their increased blood pressure, are in error – a piece of chocolate is far more effective, say German scientists. Any food rich in cocoa reduces blood as much as a cup of green or black tea could not show it in the publication of his study in the journal Archives of Internal Medicine. Its results show that cocoa reduces the risk of heart attack and other cardiovascular problems by 10-20%. And cocoa and tea contain polyphenols – chemical class of substances known to favorably affect the cardiovascular system. However, polyphenols in cocoa are of a different type – pro-cyanids that are more efficient. Polyphenols contained in fruits and vegetables.

This applies to cancer of the ovary, bladder and lungs. Only when pronounced as renal pathology underlying condition for the treatment of tumors not use platinum, although in this case, the benefit of therapy is considerably less. Another issue is that in breast cancer, for example, platinum preparations only be used if the tumor does not respond to standard chemotherapy regimens. But to believe that there is a strong preparation of platinum and that this medicine all treatment options have been exhausted, we should not. Platinum is effective in some tumors, but in others it is quite useless. And there are hormone-dependent tumors such as breast cancer, especially in the elderly, cancer of the uterus, prostate gland, which in any case miotherapy is more effective than hormone therapy. It applies only in cases where the tumor is not susceptible to treatment with hormones. Moreover! There are more than ten different theories about the occurrence of oncological diseases. All of these hypotheses are, however, are not proven and does not help to prevent this disease. Prevention of cancer does not exist. So did many charlatans lately pile of money as promised “cure” for cancer, what is most worrying in this case is that people who have access to oncological dispensaries to physicians who may help them, especially if their disease is in its infancy, trust other healer.

Diabetes is a condition that is usually characterized by an elevated level of sugar (glucose) in blood. One problem is that glucose can interact through the biochemical process (glycation) to tissues in the body, which can damage tissues and lead to complications. Namely glycation is a major cause of the problems associated with diabetes, including nerve damage, loss of eyesight or heart disease. A new study by researchers from the University of Essex in Colchester, United Kingdom shows that there is another potential mechanism that causes complications in diabetes. The results, published in the journal Diabetes showed that patients with diabetes is very characteristic deficiency of vitamin B1 (thiamine). In patients with diabetes by type of first and second levels of vitamin B1 in the blood is reduced by 3 / 4. Low levels of vitamin B1 can be explained by an increase in its loss through the kidneys.

Scientists explain that the changes affect all organs in the body. Adapts to changed conditions, it begins to readjusts and consequently change the tone of blood vessels that are trying to preserve the previous blood pressure level. According to the data during magnetic storms, the number of heart attack and stroke doubles.
