SCIENCE can finally prove what Buddhists have sworn by for centuries - meditation really does sharpen and clear the brain. Tests by Adelaide researchers have revealed that as people go further into a deep meditative state, their brain rhythms shift into a pattern of focus. This supports long-standing beliefs that the practice can improve concentration levels and alertness in daily activities.

Subjects in midlife who had both a high systolic blood pressure and a high serum cholesterol level had an even greater risk of developing Alzheimer's disease—between 2.5 and 3.5 times that of those with normal values for both measurements. Even borderline high systolic blood pressure (140-159 mm Hg) proved to have a higher risk.

Yes. Her primary treatment modality, homeopathy, is widely accepted as effective in Europe and other parts in the world, based on many thousands of studies conducted since homeopathy was founded in the late 1700's. There is currently a bias against this type of treatment in medical circles in the United States, but it is only a bias and the climate is in the process of slowly changing to become more favorable to the practice of natural medicine modalities due to patient demand.

The problem with alternative medicine is that there is a lack of independent research to validate many of the claims made. There has been some limited research on these treatments. One such paper that was presented at the NIMH ADHD Consensus Conference covers research on a variety of non-medication treatments.

Yes, numerous scientific studies originating from such prestigious institutions as Tulane University and Harvard Medical School exist to attest to the immuno-activating and protective effects of Beta 1,3/1,6 Glucan.

The question is, do you have the time wait another 10 years until science figures out how EFT and energy therapies work or do you want the benefits now? Gravity worked before science understood it. The world was round before science understood it. You can continue to wait until we understand more about how it works or you can take advantage of it now. The choice is yours.

Swamp eels belong to the family Synbranchidae. The swamp eel introduced to the United States belongs to the genus Monopterus. There may be more than one species. Until recently scientists have used the name Monopterus albus for all U.S. populations.

No. In Wisconsin, the embryos that have been used for embryonic stem cell research have all been donated by patients being treated for infertility. The patients are no longer being treated and the embryos, which are frozen in storage, would otherwise be discarded.

Yes. There is a substantial body of literature including in vitro studies, preclinical studies and several human clinical trials. These data consistently suggest that Astaxanthin, with its unique molecular structure and resulting potent antioxidant activity, may be an effective therapeutic modality for a variety of conditions, including cardiovascular, immune, anti-inflammatory, and neurodegenerative.

In short, yes. According to a recent National Research Council report, there is a 130 year history of scientific research, albeit with no clear conclusion that the classical psi effects, telepathy, clairvoyance, psychokinesis, precognition, have been demonstrated. Most knowledgeable scholars would date the advent of controlled research later, to the early 1930's when J. B. Rhine began his work with McDougall in Duke University's psychology department.

Most of the data were collected by wolf researchers Dr. John Theberge and Mary Therberge of the University of Waterloo, in the longest continuous study of wolves in Canada, and one of the longest studies of wolves in the world.

An increasing number of scientific studies on homeopathy are being conducted, and in recent years, more than 150 of these studies have been published in medical journals. Clinical research is providing evidence of the efficacy of homeopathic medicines, and basic laboratory research is confirming the biological activity of highly diluted substances and helping the scientific community better understand their mechanism of action.

Yes. With the help of a trusted medical doctor, iSatori spent countless hours researching and developing the Curvelle formula. The natural ingredients uniquely combined to create the Curvelle formula have been heavily researched and were included based on the positive results of several clinical trials.

There is relatively little medical clinical research with the notable exception of articles by Dr Majid Ali et al. Most of the data is anecdotal in evidence, as this is an emerging field of study. That has its advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand it has led to some quite unwarranted claims. On the other, great and pioneering work in holistic medicine has been achieved and many patients attribute a shift in their attitudes and health as a result of the awareness of their inner terrain.

Since 1959, there have been over 200 studies at international universities and articles published in various journals showing remarkable results supporting some of its traditional uses. In 1960, Egyptian researchers confirmed that Nigellone was responsible for Black Seeds broncho-dialating effect. Recently scientists in Europe have confirmed the anti-bacterial and anti-mycotic effects of black seed oil.

Health services and policy research has become an essential discipline in recent years.

Yes. The devices are calibrated rigorously and subject to various tests before being sold to customers. The statistical tools included with the software applications simplify the mathematics of scientific research.

Yes, there is a wealth of exciting research from around the world supporting the claims that pomegranates are good for the cardiovascular system and that they contain rare estrogen compounds that are beneficial for hormonal health in women. Other studies indicate that pomegranates can improve the lipid profile of patients with diabetes. Dr.

Answer: Brief summaries of a few scientific studies (written by Thomas David Kehoe) are available at the ftp site (see # 20) in the files "gauquelin" and "jung.synastry," which can be found in the directory pub/astrology/articles. The most famous research is that of Michel and Francoise Gauquelin. Some of their findings have been the focus of decades of scrutiny by skeptics, and their results have held up under this scrutiny.

The premise of Oriental medicine is to custom-tailor treatment in order to achieve balance and health. From a research point of view, however, this poses certain limitations. Individualizing treatment makes it difficult to apply current research methodology in order to study the efficacy of Oriental medical modalities. However, many favorable studies demonstrating efficacy have already been published in the past couple of decades. See especially reference 37.

This section summarizes results from (1) individual clinical trials (research studies in people) and (2) broad analyses of groups of clinical trials. The results of individual, controlled clinical trials of homeopathy have been contradictory. In some trials, homeopathy appeared to be no more helpful than a placebo; in other studies, some benefits were seen that the researchers believed were greater than one would expect from a placebo.f Appendix I details findings from clinical trials.

Yes, all products are scientifically researched and clinically tested for toxicity and efficacy. For details, please go to Research Study and Reading Room pages.

Meru research has always insisted on precision, objective demonstration, falsifiability, elegance, and informational depth. Because our findings are based on the methods of science, they naturally have real consequences that can be demonstrated. For example, our findings have confirmed earlier work by mathematician Arthur M. Young, who presented a natural "geometry of meaning," and showed that information can be conveyed by pointing.

Yes, sir, I am. Not as much as I used to be, but I have a small lab and I have a couple of undergraduate students who work with me and I continue to do research. Well, I continue to be interested in the structure and function of biological membranes. My main research tool is the electron microscope. And the main area in which I work right now is the process by which proteins go through, pass through biological membranes.
