Mining the gut microbiome for Parkinson's

Two Australian groups - Microba Life Sciences and The University of Queensland - have joined forced to develop new treatments and biomarkers for Parkinson's disease by investigating changes in the gut bacteria of those with the disease. Current treatments only help to manage symptoms of the disease, but do not slow or stop the progression. Dr Richard Gordon will lead his team at UQ to understand underlying causes and mechanisms linked to the progression of the disease and Microba will sequence stool samples. | https://microba.com/announcements/microba-partners-with-uq-researchers-to-tackle-parkinsons-disease-by-mining-the-gut-microbiome/

My husband was diagnosed of Parkinsons disease 2 years ago, when he was 59. He had a stooped posture, tremors, right arm does not move and also a pulsating feeling in his body. He was placed on Senememkt for 8 months and then Siferol was introduced and replaced the Senemet, during this time span he was also diagnosed with dementia. He started having hallucinations, lost touch with reality. Suspecting it was the medication I took him off the Siferol (with the doctor’s knowledge) and started him on PD natural herbal formula we ordered from TREE OF LIFE HEALTH CLINIC, his symptoms totally declined over a 3 weeks use of the TREE OF LIFE HEALTH Parkinsons disease natural herbal formula. He is now almost 61 and doing very well, the disease is totally reversed!

London scientists pioneer ‘game changing’ imaging technique to treat cancer in children

London surgeons have pioneered a “game-changing” infrared imaging technique that could aid the treatment of cancer in children.The technique, called “molecular imaging”, involves the injection of chemicals into the bloodstream which act as imaging probes. These are attracted to cancerous cells in the body and, once attached, light up through a process called “fluorescence”. This in turn lights up the tumour.Dr Stefano Giuliani, Consultant Paediatric Surgeon at Great Ormond Street Hospital, said, 'This technique effectively lights up the tumour, allowing surgeons to remove it with unprecedented precision'. The technique will benefit children with cancerous tumours.More information: https://au.news.yahoo.com/london-scientists-pioneer-game-changing-1250

It is time we talked about miscarriage

"Every year miscarriage affects up to 150,000 Australians and the people that love them. So why are we so damned bad at dealing with it?" asks Isabelle Oderberg, seasoned journalist and author of Hard to Bear: Investigating the science and silence of miscarriage. Combining in-depth investigation with lived experience, Hard to Bear charts a course to improve the system and change the lives of anyone directly or indirectly touched by early pregnancy loss, with practical and generous advice and suggestions along the way. I've bought my copy, and I encourage you to get yours: https://www.hardtobear.com
