| | Unlimited Health is created as a place where people can work on their own complete health i.e. physical, mental, emotional and spiritual through natural means such as yoga, meditation, pranayam, raw/living foods and a library with many specialized books on total health. All we do here is to provide the conditions and share our experience. The rest is up to the individual. | Overweight Kids in America
For the public at large, it’s difficult not to notice the increasing number of large and extra large children all around us -- these images are quite common and disturbing. The situation begs the question, “Why can’t we get a handle on this problem and solve it?” We don’t have the exact answer, but it’s clear that addressing the problem at its source is a remarkably complex task. Not only are we dealing with a nation-wide diet that is unhealthy, both in quantity and quality, but one that is skillfully promoted to an under-informed and under-active population. Food labeling and advertising, both under federal control, play a much larger role in the obesity epidemic than many realize or are willing to admit. In fact, food and the government – that is, the Federal Trade Commission and the Food and Drug Administration -- have a troublesome legal history that relates directly to the challenges we’re facing with childhood obesity today. | How we can stop stress from making us obese
In what they call a “stunning research advance,” investigators at Georgetown University Medical Center have been able to use simple, non-toxic chemical injections to add and remove fat in targeted areas on the bodies of laboratory animals. They say the discovery, published online in Nature Medicine on July 1, could revolutionize human cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgery and treatment of diseases associated with human obesity. | WHO (World Health Organization) is the directing and coordinating authority for health within the United Nations system. It is responsible for providing leadership on global health matters, shaping the health research agenda, setting norms and standards, articulating evidence-based policy options, providing technical support to countries and monitoring and assessing health trends.
In the 21st century, health is a shared responsibility, involving equitable access to essential care and collective defence against transnational threats. | The Center for Practical Bioethics is a nonprofit, free-standing and independent organization nationally recognized for its work in practical bioethics. Since 1984, the Center has helped patients and their families, healthcare professionals, policymakers and corporate leaders grapple with ethically complex issues in medicine and research. | New Nano Weapon against Cancer
Gold nanoparticles with branching polymers could attack tumors in multiple ways. A new class of specially engineered nanoparticles that can target, image, and kill tumor cells could be a potent weapon against cancer. The new nanoengineered system, designed by physician and researcher James Baker and his colleagues at the University of Michigan, contains gold nanoparticles with branching polymers called dendrimers that sprout off the nanoparticle's surface. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
