Eat your broccoli!

An article from Naturalnews.com states, "Regardless of the FDA's strongly biased opinions, the fact remains that foods and superfoods do cure cancer. Broccoli reverses breast cancer. Carrots help reverse lung cancer. Ginger, onions and garlic shrink tumors throughout the body. These foods are healing foods, and they do in fact reverse serious disease. I've often said that if broccoli could be sold as a precription drug, it would be headline news. That's because it offers a vast array of cancer-fighting compounds, including antiangiogenesis phytochemicals that help "starve" tumors so they die, all without harming healthy cells."
This as well as other evidence is enough proof, for me at least, to believe in the cancer-fighting components in broccoli and other vegetables. I do remember a few years back when broccoli consumption was advised against. This i think was because broccoli that has been sprayed with pesticides is really loaded with them, since it gets into all the nooks and crannies and is hard to wash out.

Isothiocyanates in broccoli have been repeatedly, and for years, proven to reduce the risk of many types of cancers. If any reliable source told me that hanging upside-down with carrots in my ears while singing the sound of music backwards in swahili would cure my cancer, you better believe I would force myself to be bothered to try. So why not eat your broccoli? Anything is worth a shot. ANd if you don't like the taste of broccoli, put some velveeta on it.

chicken or egg?

The article's assumption that it was in fact the egg that came before the chicken, seems to make sense to me on some level. The idea still puzzles me as it does for all species. Maybe it was the chicken, though, and they didn't used to be hatched from eggs. Maybe they developed that over time and they originally were born without an egg.

Is there a drug around for just about everything?

It seems like there is. Unfortunately, the drugs only mask the underlying cause of the disease by treating the symptoms. In addition to this, many people have to take a whole slew of other drugs to counteracts the gnarly side effects of the initial drug. Most drugs don't even work as effectively as they should (prozac only has a 40% success rate), and lots of other drugs seem to work well on some people and not on others.

Can we raise our levels of dopamine ourselves?

I believe that our hormones are largely influenced by the way in which we lead our lives. If we live with a significant amount of stress, our bodies are constantly releasing cortisol, which in the long-term has a very deteriorating effect on our immune system. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter of the Biogenic Amine group and more specifically a catecholamine, derived from the amino acid tyrosine. Perhaps if we can get more tyrosene in the body, we can produce more dopamine??
Also, dopamine is degraded by certain enzymes with really long names, so maybe if you can eliminate having too much of those enzyme in the body, you can increase your dopamine levels? i don't really know.
How do you think chimps and humans diverged as species?

I think our species must have split millions of years ago and was probably some in between species before becoming the homo sapiens. Honestly i can't exactly know how it happened!
