JBNI releases 100% Natural, All Herbal Bioprin's Anti-Tumor Report by Dana Farber Cancer Institute / Harvard Medical School
NOTE: Bioprin is currently on the market as a 100% natural herbal pain reliever and antibacterial antiinflamatory
JBNI's 100 Percent Herbal Bioprin Formula Demonstrates High Anti-cancer Tumor Efficacy at Dana Farber Cancer Institute / Harvard Medical School Dana Farber Cancer Institute / Harvard Medical School report shows that the anti-tumor efficacy of Bioprin exceeds selected chemotherapeutic agents. The DFCI/HMS report further states that Bioprin's formula is comparable to the effectiveness of radiation therapy. Most surprising is the all-herbal 100% natural formula's (originally intended for relaxation and comfort) TGD score when used in addition to chemo and radio therapies.
Canyon Park, WA (PRWEB) July 31, 2008 -- The following press release is provided to Cancer researchers only and is to be used only as data for scientific research purposes.
JBNI today released a Dana-Farber Cancer Institute / Harvard Medical School (DFCI/HMS) anti-tumor activity report regarding Formula 15.3 (Bioprin) by Dr. Beverly A. Teicher's and her team. The report entitled, "Efficacy of orally administered herb preparations against the EMT-6/Parent Tumor," clinically documents the effect of JBNI's all-herbal formula on the "equivalent to human metastatic breast cancer." The report illustrates the potential of naturally occurring herbs for use in clinical / medical applications.
In the summary by Dr. Marianne Spada, Ph.D., the doctor notes that, "JJ-15.3 shows at the dose of 500mg/kg a TGD of 4.15 plus or minus 0.53, which is much more potent than (common chemotherapeutic agents) Melpahlan (2.3tgd) or Carmustine (2.5tgd), and comparable to radiotherapy or Cysplatin in treatment of metastatic cancer." Dr. Spada goes on to project, "With higher dose and more frequency than current testing (14 days dose), we might observe much greater TGD than current result even with the current level of herbal concentration."
A full test result spread sheet was also just released. It is entitled, "Tumor growth delay of Herbal Mixture JJ-15.3 in the EMT-6 Murine Marrary Carcinoma at 500mm cubed." In it, the total anti-tumor effect when supporting x-ray radiation therapy (1 wk at 300 rads = 4.3tgd) with JBNI's Formula 15.3 is shown to be 5.15tgd plus or minus 0.61.
When asked about the aggressive nature of 15.3's effect on cancer cells and potential safety issues, JBNI Investor Relations Manager, Ken Case quoted Dr. Teicher's report saying, "Formula 15.3 has already CONTINUED ORIGINAL RELEASE: http://www.prweb.com/releases/2008/07/prweb1158214.htm

The Connection between Headache and Migraine
Tension headache is the most common type of headache and most people will have had one.
Tension headaches can be stress-related or due to problems with the muscles in the neck and face, but there is often no obvious cause. They can last for only half an hour or up to a week...

How to massage a headache or migraine away
Do you want to relieve your headache or migraine pain in a few minutes? Try this ancient foot massage technique and watch your pain fade away.
Reflexology is a simple technique performed on the hands and feet, that can be traced back to ancient Egypt.
It is based on the premise that the nerve endings to all the organs, tissues, glands and nerve terminate and are reflected on our hands and feet. By applying pressure to these points, the nerves are stimulated to release energy blocks and enhance the flow of healing energy to the corresponding organs of the body.

10 Tips to Fight Headache Pain
By Kathleen Donnelly
When a migraine headache takes hold, resistance, as the evil rulers say, is futile—at least, for all but the most heroic among us. But before a headache springs full blown, you may be able to avoid or dial down the pain by taking evasive action. Not every tip listed here works for everyone, and change doesn't come overnight. But experimenting with these suggestions may help you avoid getting a headache, or better manage one if it does arrive.
No. 1: Keep a headache diary.
Writing down the details of your headaches—how long they last, how severe they are, what was happening before the pain started and how you sought relief—can help you and your doctor identify your headache "triggers." For example, certain foods may bring on headaches, as can stress, menstrual cycles, bright light, perfumes and even changes in the weather. Once you have an idea of what could be fueling your headaches, you can try to avoid at least some of the triggers. "If you don't write things down and look at it over the course of time, you may not see relationships when it comes to trigger factors," says Dr. Fred Freitag, associate director of the Chicago-based Diamond Headache Clinic and a board member of the National Headache Foundation. "It may not be just one thing by itself that affects you. It may be several factors."
No. 2: Watch what you eat.
Food often gets the blame for triggering migraine headaches. In fact, so many foods have been implicated, says Dr. Lisa Mannix, a neurologist with Headache Associates in Cincinnati, that axing them all would mean giving up a healthy diet. Besides, she adds, only 20 percent to 30 percent of people can consistently identify the foods that trigger their headaches. Still, it won't hurt to experiment by dropping a couple of the most frequent troublemakers to see if it makes a difference. Start with what Mannix calls "the big three": red wine; processed meats and other foods that contain sodium nitrite; and foods that contain the seasoning monosodium glutamate, or MSG.
No. 3: Get enough magnesium.
Magnesium relaxes blood vessels and reduces the likelihood that migraine-inducing electric signals in the brain will be generated, both of which can cut your chances of getting a headache. Supplements are OK, says Freitag, but try making changes in your diet first to see if you notice any improvement. For example, replace white-flour breads and pastas with whole-wheat versions. Other magnesium-rich foods include leafy green vegetables and nuts (although for some, nuts are a headache trigger).
No. 4: Eat regular meals.
Just as important as avoiding foods that may trigger headaches is making sure you eat a healthy diet and don't skip meals. As Freitag explains, your brain runs on two things: oxygen and sugar converted from the food you eat. Once that sugar is gone, you need to feed your brain. In fact, if you tend to wake up with morning headaches, Freitag suggests eating a piece of fruit just before you go to bed to see if that helps stave off the early morning pain.
No. 5: Be careful with caffeine, alcohol and tobacco.
For some sufferers, caffeine's a major culprit. “When it's ingested daily or nearly daily it tends to make migraines worse," says Freitag. Alcohol, especially red wine and dark liquors, can be headache triggers. So can tobacco and second-hand smoke, which you shouldn't be messing around with anyway, headaches or not.
No. 6: Stick to a sleep schedule.
Keeping regular hours—even on the weekends—may help you avoid pain. Mannix advises her patients to make a concentrated effort to go to bed and get up at the same time each and every day. "Remember," she says, "we're talking about your very sensitive nervous system. Any change—external or internal—can change how you feel."
No. 7: Exercise regularly.
The idea is to improve the production of endorphins, the brain's natural painkillers. To do that, Freitag advises a minimum of 20 minutes to a half-hour of concentrated aerobic exercise, such as walking at a brisk, 4-miles-per-hour pace at least three times a week. Mannix says go for more if you can: 30 to 60 minutes per session, five days a week.
No. 8: Manage stress.
You can try all kinds of techniques, from massage to yoga to biofeedback. The important thing, says Mannix, is to find something you can do fairly quickly and easily. "Dealing with stress successfully sometimes means just giving yourself some time," she says. Read a book, go for a walk, even go shopping if that works for you.
No. 9: Try acupressure.
Acupressure, a form of traditional Chinese medicine that's based on the same ideas as acupuncture, involves putting gentle pressure on different points of your body and is a technique you can do yourself. Finding out if it works for you, Freitag says, may take a bit of trial and error. "But you can do all these things together," he says. "When you feel a headache coming on, you can take some Ibuprofen and do your acupressure. They're not mutually exclusive."
No. 10: Apply a cold pack.
Cold, says Freitag, "has a bit of a local anesthetic effect." So, go ahead: Place a cold pack on your forehead. "You don't need a fancy ice pack," says Freitag. "All you need is a package of frozen peas wrapped in a towel."
Marijuana as Medicine
I'm not sure whether, or in which form, I want marijuana to be legalized, but I believe I am a good example of why it could be beneficial as medicine.
First of all, I would rather take a THC pill (with little to no side effects) than Vikadin (with several side effects).
I am unfortunate to have three physical "ailments": Irratable Bowel Syndrome (stomach aches), Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (stomach aches), and migraines (debilitating headaches).
I've had the stomach problems since I was 12 years old. Since then, I've mostly been able to figure out the items that commonly trigger my stomach aches. In no praticular order, the main triggers are anxiety, dairy, fatty/greasy foods, caffiene, excessive amounts of sugar, carbonated drinks, aspirin, and acidic foods (tomato sauce, orange juice, etc). These items cause me to experience many symptoms from diarhea and heartburn to sore throat (stomach acids regergitate to the throat) and shortness of breath. It's extremely uncomfortable.
I started getting migraines when I was about 16 years old. They seem to be caused by having too much sugar, but about 20% of my migraines come for reasons unknown to me. I usually recieve an aura (blind/light spot in vision) before the pain of the migraine sets in. I saw an eye doctor who ordered a number of tests and eventually told me it was ocular migraines. According to him, the common causes for migraines are caffiene, sugar, and stress. Either way, migraines are horrible.
Here comes the punch line. Most people can go to a pharmacy and buy some Excedrin migraine relief pills; problem solved. But Excedrin consists of caffiene, acetaminophin, and aspirin. Guess what, caffiene and aspiring trigger symptoms in my stomach, and acetaminophin can lead to liver disease. Wonderful!
If marijuana is legalized for medical purposes, I won't have to choose between a migraine and a stomach ache!
