Researchers discover papaya is effective against breast, pancreas and other cancers

Researchers discover papaya is effective against breast, pancreas and other cancers: "NaturalNews) Originally native to southern Mexico and now cultivated in many tropical countries (including Brazil, India, Indonesia, South Africa, Vietnam and Sri Lanka), the papaya plant has been touted by traditional healers for centuries as a source of powerful medicine. Not only is papaya fruit delicious and loaded with vitamins and phytochemicals, but other parts of the plant have been used historically to treat health problems, too. Now University of Florida (UF) researcher Dr. Nam Dang and his colleagues in Japan have announced new evidence that the papaya fights cancer cells. In fact, they discovered that an extract made from dried papaya leaves produced a dramatic anti-cancer effect against a broad range of tumors grown in the laboratory -- including cancers of the cervix, breast, liver, lung and pancreas."

If mum is happy and you know it, wave your fetal arms - life - 16 March 2010 - New Scientist: "FOOD and oxygen pass easily from mother to fetus. Now it seems that fleeting sadness or happiness is also transmitted to an unborn baby.

Stress or depression in pregnancy can harm a fetus, but less is known about the effect of transient emotions. To investigate, Kazuyuki Shinohara and colleagues at Nagasaki University in Japan showed 10 pregnant volunteers a cheery 5-minute clip from the musical The Sound of Music. Another 14 watched a tear-jerking 5 minutes from The Champ. Each clip was sandwiched between two 'neutral' samples so that the team could measure any changes in fetal movements against a baseline."
