If you have a sinus infection and it's not getting any better with antibiotics, you could have a fungal sinus infection. In fact, researchers are figuring out that the majority of sinus infections are due to fungus, rather than bacteria. That means your antibiotic won't work. But a simple nutrient might just do the trick. A recent study looked at the results of several studies on chronic rhinosinusitis. In one of the studies, researchers gave children with acute sinusitis a daily treatment of bromelain. They gave the control group the standard treatment (antibiotics). In every case, those taking the bromelain recovered from their symptoms much faster than those in the control group.

You may have heard that any cancer patient on chemotherapy should not take vitamins, as they may interfere with the chemo. But new research is showing that just the opposite happens. In fact, adding high doses of one vitamin can add a year to your life if you have pancreatic cancer. As you may know, pancreatic cancer is usually a death sentence. Most people with this form of cancer live only about five or six months.

You probably know that Coenzyme Q10 helps keep all of your muscles strong – particularly your heart muscle. It's the nutrient you must take if you're using statins to keep the drugs from destroying your muscles. But a group of researchers from Cairo, Egypt have found that this powerful nutrient can completely eliminate depression and anxiety.

The media in the U.S. love the drug companies. That's largely because of all the ad revenue the drug companies buy. Because of this, you can't really trust the media in the U.S. to protect your health. This was particularly true when a recent study found that the most common drug in America causes blindness.

If you don't suffer from dementia, yet you've noticed your memory slipping a little more than usual, it's possible you suffer from mild cognitive impairment or MCI. MCI is an intermediate stage between normal age-related memory loss and the more serious decline of dementia. While MCI typically doesn't interfere with your day-to-day activities, it's still very frustrating. And it could increase your risk for full-blown dementia. Fortunately, a new study shows how a simple herb can help reverse this problem.
