Bad New(?) and Good Health News By Mrs. Vera West

     Perhaps this is bad news, depending on how it is viewed. A recent study at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine has found that chemotherapy may actually spread cancer: http://www.naturalnews.com/2017-07-12-chemotherapy-warning-as-study-finds-it-actually-multiplies-cancer-throughout-the-body-almost-always-killing-the-patient.html.  This may be done by either enabling cancer cells to spread throughout the body by increasing the amount of blood vessels , or by allowing the stronger growth of cancer cells: http://stm.sciencemag.org/content/9/397/eaan0026.

     On the good news side, evidence continues to accumulate indicating that yoga and meditation can actually repair DNA, treating depression and some diseases, by reversing the metabolic and biochemical effects of stress, through gene expression: http://journal.frontiersin.org/article/10.3389/fimmu.2017.00670/full.
     All our stressed political warriors may need to start mediation and yoga, instead of hard drinking, if they wish to last the long haul.
