Antipsychotic Drugs May Cause Blood Clots - People who take antipsychotic drugs, even those who are young and otherwise healthy, face an increased risk for potentially fatal blood clots, researchers report, extending previous findings to encompass a wider range of medications for schizophrenia, manic-depressive disorder, dementia, autism, and other brain disorders.

HERBAL REMEDY FOR CANCER PATIENTS - A study published this month in the Journal of Urology, by Dr. Aaron E.

Twyman, author and Peace Troubadour, will travel to Israel with a scroll that contains all the prayers to be presented to President Arafat and President Barak.

Red Raspberry and Cervical Cancer - The Hollings Cancer instititute at the University of South Carolina is doing a double blind study on a large group of 500 cervical cancer patients that has everyone excited. They are excited because their past nine years of study have shown that a natural product called ellagic acid is causing G-arrest within 48 hours (inhibiting and stopping mitosis-cancer cell division), and apoptosis (normal cell death) within 72 hours, for breast, pancreas, esophageal, skin, colon and prostate cancer cells.
