Special Glasses Block Cancer Stimulating Light
For Immediate ReleaseUniversity Heights, OH (ContentDesk) January 12, 2006 -- A press release from the National Institute for Environmental Health Sciences states Results from a new study in laboratory mice show that nighttime exposure to artificial light stimulated the growth of human breast tumors by suppressing the levels of a key hormone called melatonin. The study also showed that extended periods of nighttime darkness greatly slowed the growth of these tumors.
12/19/2005Light is known to suppress the secretion of melatonin, a powerful antioxidant and cancer fighter. It is also known it is the blue rays in ordinary light that suppress melatonin. Physicists at John Carroll University have identified eye glasses that remove the blue rays.
They recommend that people at high risk for cancer put on the glasses in the evening to get melatonin flowing.Scientists at Toronto University have proven that wearing goggles with filters that block the blue light allow people to make melatonin even though exposed to bright lights.
Putting on blue-blocking glasses in the evening is thus a means for getting melatonin to be present for a longer time to fight cancer. Blocking blue light is the same as darkness ( virtual darkness ) for the pineal gland that makes melatonin.Studies show that blind people and people who consistently sleep unusually long (9 hours or more) have a significantly lower cancer rate. They also produce melatonin for a longer time.
This is consistent with the idea that avoiding light that suppresses melatonin during the evening will reduce the risk of cancer. It may take the body a number of days to adjust to wearing the glasses so patience is necessary.
The glasses should not be worn all the time, as having melatonin present in the morning is thought to be the cause of S.A.D. which is successfully treated by exposure to blue light.????????????????
Studies with turkey hens with ovarian cancer showed that doubling the time they were held in darkness each day from 8 hours to 16 hours resulted in decreased tumor growth and complete remission in some birds.
There is a huge difference between turkeys and humans so caution is necessary in drawing any conclusions. It is suggestive however, that long periods of real darkness combined with virtual darkness might be useful for patients with cancer. Melatonin has been shown to be beneficial in combination with some forms of chemotherapy and radiation therapy.

Play It Safe in the Sun--Wear Those Shades!
As you rub in the sunscreen to protect your skin this summer, don't forget sunglasses to protect your eyes. With the thinning ozone layer, it's not just skin cancer you have to worry about. Your eyes are vulnerable to the effects of Ultra Violet (UV) rays as well. This same radiation that damages skin can also increase your risk of developing eye problems, such as cataracts--a clouding of the eye's lens which develops over years. Sunglasses are no longer a simple fashion accessory but a health conscious necessity.
Sunglasses are a vital, and often under-appreciated part of eye care in the outdoor environment. Legend has it that sunglasses originated in China and were created by tinting glass lenses with smoke from open fires. As far back as the fifteenth century, Chinese judges wore these tinted lenses so as not to reveal partiality when examining evidence place before them. However, sunglasses really came into their own during World War II, when fighter pilots made good use of...

Essential Tips for the Kitchen
Cupboards and drawers should contain items that are grouped together.Store items where you use them. Put your plates near the table, knives near island or cutting counter, glasses near the fridge, and coffee items near the coffee machine.Clean and organize your fridge and freezer just like you would any other cabinet: grouping like items together. Search for things that are not being used once a week on trash day. If you don't use it, get rid of it.Seasonally used items are better stored in a basement or attic.Have countless cookbooks in your kitchen? Go through and find which ones you use regularly. The others can be stored or given to a friend.Only keep the glasses that you regularly use.

Colored Eyeglasses Help Avoid Obesity
University Heights, OH (ContentDesk) May 26, 2006 -- A recent large study of the relationship between sleep deprivation and obesity shows that those who sleep less than 7-9 hours a night have a higher risk of being obese.
Those who sleep 4 hours have a 73% higher risk of being obese and those who sleep 6 hours have a 23% higher risk. This is according to a recent study at Columbia University.Physicists at John Carroll University have come up with a new way to get more and better sleep. It has been known for years that the sleep hormone, melatonin is only produced by the pineal gland when the eyes are in darkness. By using artificial light in the evening before going to bed, people are depriving themselves of the thing that will help them sleep, melatonin.
In 2001 it was discovered that different colors of light have different effects on the pineal gland. It is the blue component in light that causes melatonin suppression. By blocking the blue light from the eyes for a...
