Is there any good radiation for your brain? Given the fact that researchers at the National Institutes of Health have discovered that a cellphone changes the activity of your brain it appears to be a real question since they claim they aren't sure if the radiation is harmful. The study is in the current issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association.
Several researchers have already raised concerns and questions about cellphone radiation, especially with children. The question appears to be how many research studies will it take for Americans to recognize the danger?
One way to reduce the risk is simply to use a headset, preferably wired, which moves the cellphone's radiation away from your brain.

CAM Safety vs. Prescription Drugs
People who dislike complementary and alternative medicine often claim that it's dangerous. Today the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) will demonstrate that it's prescription drugs that are the real danger.
Drug overdoses continue to climb at an alarming rate, up five-fold since 1990. In 2007 alone 27,000 people died from prescription drug overdoses. To put that number into perspective: prescription drugs now cause more overdose deaths than heroin and cocaine combined!
Next time someone says CAM is dangerous ask them how many people died from using complementary and alternative medicine.

Zinc Helps A Cold After All
It turns out that zinc can reduce the duration and severity of a cold after all. A new meta-review of medical research shows that when taken within 24 hours of the first signs of a cold (sneezing, coughing ... you know the drill) zinc can shorten a cold by a day and reduce the symptoms.
One of the studies cited in the review was a March 2008 report published in The Journal of Infectious Diseases which showed that zinc could reduce a cold from 7 days to just 4 and reduce the coughing from 5 days to just 2. If you're suffering with a cold these a major improvements!
You probably won't hear much about this on the evening news because the medical industry doesn't want you to know about a non-prescription option that works. Your doctor wants you to come in for another $$$ visit instead of simply picking up some zinc from the supermarket!
