Scientist finally found why stress seams to make us age faster and it's because of a DNA complex called Telomers and a small bit deteriorates every time mitosis occurs, and stress acts as a catalyst causing over aging.

I think it is very good that we have found that stress can shorten our lives but it would be even better if we can find something that will keep the telomers from deteriorating and extending all of our lives.

Telomeres-a region of repetitive DNA at the end of chromosomes, which protects the end of the chromosome from destruction.

Telomerase-an enzyme that adds specific DNA sequence repeats.

Curry Spice Saves Lifes

>>>CLICK HERE FOR ARTICLE<<<
This article talks about how
curcumin can kill some kinds of cancer in the head and neck. For some reason the curcumin makes cells with cancer commit suicide. Further testing will show we show how effective it is against other types of cancer.

I think that it is great that we are finally making progress to find a cure for at least some kinds of cancer and I hope we will find more than just this curry spice so that cancer will not always be a deadly disease and maybe with more discoveries like this it will be more like the chicken pox.

antioxidant-a substance that inhibits oxidation, esp. one used to counteract the deterioration of stored food products.

proliferation-rapid increase in numbers.

melanoma-a tumor of melanin-forming cells, typically a malignant tumor.

Bio Woman

After losing her arm in a motorcycle accident she has her arm replaced with a prosthetic arm but she never used but when a opportunity to have a semi real arm again the goes for it. after the surgery she is able to "feel" her arm again even though it's not there.

I think it is amazing that they can do what they have done with this woman. I am sure it would be expensive but to have your arm back that must be worth a fortune. I hope they will be able to lower the price so everyone would be able to get an arm or a leg back as well as keep advancing in this technology so the arm, if it can, feel more life like.
