Common Diseases: How to Treat and even Prevent with Alkaline Water!
2008-06-09 14:52:00 The Japanese claim that one of the underlying causes of adult diseases is the accumulation of acids in our body. In order for a treatment to be effective it must remove these excess acids from the system, otherwise the treatment will only offer a temporary cure. It is for this reason that medical science is rather poor when it comes to curing adult diseases.* To help our bodies rid of these acid wastes it's imperative to decrease our intake of acidic foods and drinks and increase our consumption of alkaline foods and drinks. This including drinking plenty of alkaline water. Using a water ionizer is a convenient way to convert tap water to strong alkaline water with a high pH. As our body is made up of 70% water, alkaline water will help flush out acid wastes which can lead to disease. The diseases discussed below are what Japanese doctors have treated and cured in Japan by means of Alkaline Water and/or elimination of toxins and wastes.* 1. Cancer Much research has been done in...

Computer Game Helps Scientists Cure Diseases
2008-06-02 10:44:00 A newly released game called FoldIt can possibly cure all the world’s deadly diseases. The computer game uses strands of protein and their folds and structure as a puzzle.

Computers have been used for quite a long time to help gain insight on the architecture of proteins. However, the developers of FoldIt believe that using the natural ability of people to understand 3-D shapes may work faster. FoldIt is a free game. Its structure is similar to the classic video game Tetris. An in-game feature teaches players the rules of the game. The rules are based on the basic physical laws that govern how protein strands cooperate to form 3-D shapes. Players...

Understanding Dogs Diseases and Dog Kidney Diseases
2008-04-21 15:01:00 By Kelly MarshallDogs get sick from parasites, viruses, bacteria, protozoa, and fungus. In some cases, these diseases and infestations are fatal unless caught early and treated. Sometimes they sow the seeds of death or debilitation years down the road by causing chronic illness or damaging organs.The term "chronic kidney failure" suggests that the kidneys have quit working and are, therefore, not making urine. The typical form of chronic kidney failure is the result of aging; it is simply a "wearing out" process. The age of onset is related to the size of the dog. For most small dogs, the early signs occur at about 8-14 years of age. Large dogs have a shorter age span and may go into kidney failure as early as seven years of age.Causes of acute kidney disease? Trauma - Any type of trauma that causes the blood pressure to fall dramatically, such as shock and blood loss from being hit by a car.? Disease - Leptospirosis (a type of bacteria), fungal infections, heart disease? Poison - I...
