Are There Herbal Cures For Cancer?
According to information provided by Health Sciences Institute they have been discovered. However, major drug firms have been unable to synthesize proteins which mimic the results of substances responsible for the beneficial cures seen in naturally occurring plants. Until they can, much of the work they have been doing is not patentable. In other words, until the derivatives from the research can be protected financially, the benefits will continue to be unavailable to the public, or a least very slow in coming.
About 30 years ago an extract from the bark of the yew tree called taxol was determined to reduce or eliminate a half a dozen types of cancer, without the serious after effects of chemotherapy treatments. However, it took 30 years to reach the market. Recently, promising products from a tree called the graviola tree are demonstrating even more potent cancer fighting abilities. After 10 years and millions of dollars the main antihumorous chemical annonacin has been synthesized. Scientists finally recreated this chemical and several other active acetogenins in the lab. The next step is to change these chemicals enough for them to be “novel” so they can be awarded patents, but not enough that they loose their beneficial properties. So far these attempts have failed. It seems as soon as the chemicals are altered they loose their potent antihumorous action.
Unless, or until, the government takes direct action via the National Cancer Institute and the National Institute of Health a full scale assault on cancer with this promising therapy will not be available in a timely fashion. The risk is too great and the cost too large for a single drug company to assume. The drug companies cannot be faulted for failing to release their results for free. That would be a form of corporate suicide. Research of this nature, which would truly benefit all mankind, should be a government mandate. That way the cost would be easily affordable and the products which resulted would be affordable by rich and poor alike.

Urban legends
The Internet has added a new twist to the urban legend phenomenon by making many stories easy to spread to a large audience over a short amount of time. What's worse, these stories are often distributed in the form of a plea for help from an unfortunate victim who could be saved if you just contributed a few dollars. After the tsunami disaster, several fraudulent emails were circulated, some of which contained links to phony charity websites. The same problem occurred after September 11th. Whether it's a plea for money, an email containing false links, or a virus alert that isn't true, these scams have made it difficult to trust anything you hear via email. Here are some resources that can assist you with discerning what's real and what's not!
Emails - The next time you receive a dire virus warning, visit http://hoaxbusters.ciac.org. This website contains information about over a dozen different categories of hoaxes, ranging from virus warnings to chain letters. If you receive an email that looks suspect, chances are this site will have a listing about it.
Charity Websites - If you are unsure about whether to give to a particular charity, visit www.charitynavigator.org. This website examines over 4,300 charities and evaluates how well they are using your donations. It also contains tips to assist you in choosing where to give and how to document your donations for tax purposes. Once you've selected your charities, you can usually make your contributions online. Just be sure to visit the organization's official website, rather than using a link in an email. This will ensure that your contribution is going where it should rather than into a scammer's pocket.
Urban Legends - Is there an urban legend that you've been wondering about for years? Visit www.snopes.com and find out once and for all if it's true. They have urban legends categorized by subject matter and even provide a bibliography at the end of their listings to reflect their research! The Discovery Channel is also exploring urban legends through their television show, MythBusters.

Supermarket Secrets: Helpful Tips to Save You Time and Money
Many of us think of supermarket shopping as a dreaded chore. For most, the reason is two-fold: time and money. Here are a few tips that'll help you save on both.
A little organization goes a long way. A supermarket's busiest times are weekdays between 5 and 7pm and weekend mornings. The slo
Be friendly. People who work in service industries are exposed to unfriendly customers on a daily basis. A smile and a simple "hello" go a long way. As you become a store regular, employees will soon recognize you as one of the "nice ones". Achieving this status may bring surprising results. Don't be shocked if checkout lanes open on your behalf or employees offer suggestions like, "The larger size is on sale for the same price."
Look for bargains. Most markets have bargain racks in both the produce and meat sections. This type of price slashing has less to do with product spoilage than it does with the store's inability to sell a steak that's not bright red or a banana that's not unblemished or a perfect yellow. The irony is that when it comes to steak, age is good. Bright red might look prettier, but brown tastes better.
Utilize expertise. Ask the liquor manager for suggestions of a great wine or approach a produce worker about picking out the perfect watermelon. Also, acquaint yourself with the butchers and fish mongers. If you ask nicely, many of them will allow you to bypass the selection in the case and bring you cuts of meat or fish from the back, where it's the freshest. In addition, many cuts of meat are sold in large quantities. Don't be afraid to have something cut in half and repackaged. It'll save you money. Don't worry - they'll sell the other half.
Minimize your stops. Do you find yourself making several stops to get what you need? In many cases all it takes is a conversation with a store manager to have a product specially ordered and on the shelf.
Look at expiration dates. When shopping for any item with an expiration (i.e. dairy products, bagged lettuce, etc.), always pull from the back of the case. This is where stores stock their freshest products. It is also how they ensure that older merchandise gets sold. By purchasing a fresher item, you extend its shelf life and postpone another trip to the market.

Stalled E-mails
So, there you are sitting at your desk with your morning coffee and you're just waiting for all of your e-mail to come through to your Inbox (using Outlook Express). You may have several e-mails that have piled up overnight and you just want them to download as fast as possible. Everything's going fine until you are rudely interrupted by an e-mail stall. Yep, the download process just stops all of a sudden and you have no idea why. Is there really any rhyme or reason to that? Well, let's find out!
An e-mail download stall can be caused by a few different things. One reason could be that the amount of e-mail you're trying to bring in is rather large. (I get over 1,000 e-mails everyday and this happens to me all the time). So, while you're waiting for all of those e-mails to come in, your connection may time out and therefore, your e-mail program just stops. Unfortunately, there's not really a good way to fix this, but if you hit the Send/Receive button again, the rest of your e-mails should come through.

Scratch No More
Do you have an LCD screen for your computer monitor? Whether it's a laptop or a desktop monitor, they're nice to have. But, then again, they can easily be damaged if something happens to hit them just right. It is very common for LCD screens to scratch and it can happen in just a blink of an eye. So, is there any way to easily get rid of an LCD scratch? Of course there is. Keep reading and I'll tell you how!
First, you need to clean off the surface of your screen with a soft piece of cloth. Now, the best thing to do (even if it seems a little weird) is use some petroleum jelly (like Vaseline) to fill in the scratch. The Vaseline's density matches better to the LCD material than anything else and it will fill in all of the gaps more efficiently. Just rub some Vaseline over the scratch and then wipe off any excess. You need to make sure some of the Vaseline stays there though!
Now, there are varying views on how to fix a scratch on an LCD screen. This method seems to work about the best out of all the other suggestions, but it's possible it won't work for you. Just be very careful and make sure you get enough of the jelly inside the scratch. If you do that, it should work like a charm and the scratch will be gone forever. If it doesn't seem to work for you, you can always use a cloth to clean the Vaseline off the screen. It's at least worth a try, don't you think?!
Lost Toolbars
Are you one of the many who have a toolbar installed on your computer along with your Web browser? For example, along with my Internet Explorer browser, I always use the Google toolbar. Maybe you do the same or perhaps you use another toolbar, such as the versions from Yahoo! or AOL. Either way, if you're like me, you probably use those toolbars on a very regular basis, right? So, what if you were to lose it? What would you do? Well, let's check out some of your options!
First, I hope you would work on getting it back! I know my Google toolbar has disappeared before, but luckily, I knew just how to get it back up and running. Do you want in on my little secret too? If you ever lose one of your toolbars, all you have to do (in Internet Explorer) is go to View, Toolbars and make sure the one you want to use is check marked. You can do the exact same thing in Firefox, if that happens to be the browser you use. Once your toolbar of choice is selected, it will pop right back up for you.
Now, when it comes back, it might look a little different than you remember it being. If that happens, don't worry yourself too much. With the Google toolbar, just look for the Settings link and click on that. From there, you can go through everything and reset it back to the way you had it before. With the Yahoo! toolbar, look for the big red Yahoo! icon (it's a Y with an exclamation point after it), right click on it and choose Change Toolbar Layout or whatever you'd like to do. You can do the same for any other toolbars you may use. When you're all finished, you'll have your toolbar back and as a bonus, you'll know how to find it in case you ever lose it again. Oh yeah! |
