Clearing the Smoke-The Science of Cannabis

11/27/2014

Montana PBS's new documentary, Clearing the Smoke, reveals how cannabis acts on the brain and in the body to treat nausea, pain, epilepsy and potentially even cancer.Extensive interviews with patients, doctors, researchers and skeptics detail the promises and the limitations of medicinal cannabis. Even though the video has an American perspective, marijuana use is illegal throughout many countries of the world for reasons that are not clear.
This video is important because it mainly investigates the scientific basis underlying the medical benefits of marijuana use instead of focusing on the social, political and legal hysteria that have been attached to it.

16 Cancer Causing Foods You Probably Eat Every Day

11/18/2014

It’s probably not something you think about every day, whether or not the foods you are eating could contain carcinogens, but with almost 1.5 million people diagnosed with some type of cancer just last year, perhaps it’s time to look at what is in our foods that could be causing such a huge number of new cancer patients. Here is a list of the top 10 foods that you most likely consume every day that may contain carcinogens or be suspected of causing cancer.

Pill Poppers

10/17/2014

How much is really known about the medicines we take, and can they be trusted to work? Over a person's lifetime they are likely to be prescribed more than 14,000 pills. Antibiotics, cholesterol lowering tablets, anti-depressants, painkillers, even tablets to extend youth and improve performance in bed. These drugs perform minor miracles day after day, but how much is really known about them?Drug discovery often owes as much to serendipity as to science, and that means much is learnt about how medicines work, or even what they do, when they're taken. By investigating some of the most popular pills people pop,
Horizon asks, how much can they be trusted to do what they are supposed to?

Parents Under Pressure-Documentary

9/26/2014

Armed with the latest research into childhood, she meets mothers who find it hard to give their babies the love and attention they need; parents worried about the effect of leaving their children in nursery care for long periods; and young people who've been affected by parents who are in conflict, who work very long hours or who have split up. She also talks to childcare experts whose research is throwing new light on what's going wrong - and how we can make things better.

A River of Waste

7/1/2014

This documentary looks at the potential hazards caused by factory farms in the United States, particularly by waste disposal.Beginning with a history of the American food system, River of Waste shows its evolution to large-scale corporate farms where pollution and use of growth hormones threaten both individual health and the future of our planet.
A River of Waste exposes a huge health and environmental scandal in our modern industrial system of meat and poultry production.
Some scientists have gone so far as to call the condemned current factory farm practices as mini Chernobyls. In the U.S. and elsewhere, the meat and poultry industry is dominated by dangerous uses of arsenic, antibiotics, growth hormones and by the dumping of massive amounts of sewage in fragile waterways and environments.
The film documents the vast catastrophic impact on the environment and public health as well as focuses on the individual lives damaged and destroyed.

The Beautiful Truth

6/21/2014

Raised on a wildlife reserve in Alaska, 15-year old Garrett was interested in the dietary habits of their animals.After the tragic death of his mother, Garrett s father decided to home-school his son and assigned a book written by Dr. Max Gerson that proposes a direct link between diet and a cure for cancer.
Fascinated, Garrett embarks on a cross-country road trip to investigate The Gerson Therapy. He meets with scientists, doctors and cancer survivors who reveal how it is in the best interest of the multi-billion dollar medical industry to dismiss the notion of alternative and natural cures.
It has been said that more people live off cancer than die from it. The Beautiful Truth is a movie that can put a stop to this travesty. Here is a very practical guide to the intensive nutritional treatment of cancer and other life-threatening diseases that many would consider to have been impossible to obtain. But thanks to the work of Max Gerson, M.D., and his daughter, Charlotte Gerson, this knowledge is readily available.
Max Gerson cured cancer. He did so with a strict fat-free, salt-free, low-protein, essentially vegetarian dietary regimen, based on great quantities of fresh vegetable juice, supplements, and systemic detoxification.

Living with ADHD Documentary

6/2/2014

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most feared and misunderstood of all medical conditions. Despite over 200 scientific papers being published on this neurological condition every year, it remains stigmatised and controversial. Some doctors don’t even believe it exists. Yet it is estimated that as many as 3-5% of the childhood population, and over one million adults in the UK are affected by ADHD. These people are often described as stupid, lazy, disorganised, wild, out of control or woozy on drugs. But the reality is altogether more complex, and deeply moving.

The Truth About Depression

5/6/2014

Only someone who has had it knows how paralyzing depression can be. No one is immune. There's a one in four chance that depression will affect you at some stage in your life. It's bad enough to get it, but the stigma can make you feel much worse. This is the truth about depression.
People battle with chronic depression for decades. It is extraordinary that thousands of us will suffer from depression and yet so many people will feel the need to hide it. Why? Because of the stigma. People with depression are judged to be weak. Some people even go so far as they think it does not exist. Stephen Nolan wanted to find out the real truth about depression.
For those not able to see their depression as an illness it is really important to show what is actually happening inside their head. Examining the brain through imaging is a relatively new area of science. It's only been studied over the past 15 years or so. Nolan has come to the University of Manchester, one of the main centers in the UK for brain imaging.
The part of the brain responsible for memory and emotion is the hippocampus. It is there that depression shows up. What's fascinating is that hippocampus in depressed people behaves differently than the hippocampus in those with without the illness. Professor Ian Anderson is leading the research.
But, there's been quite a number of studies which have suggested that people who are depressed don't just have an alteration of how the brain's working but also actually in the structure of the brain. As Anderson studied the hippocampus he found a striking decrease in the massive gray matter in people who are depressed. This is about a 25 percent decrease, which is quite a striking and staggering change in fact.

The Unspooling Mind

5/6/2014

The Unspooling Mind is a documentary about the human
toll of dementia, heart-wrenching decisions for families, the
desperate search for care for those who can no longer care for themselves, and
seeking help in a place with no return in a country far from home.
If they were a country called "Dementia" its population would be larger than
Canada's. The condition affects 44 million people and strikes so often and so
arbitrarily that it's been called an epidemic. It unspools the mind without any
cure in sight.
On the outskirts of Amsterdam, interwoven in the fabric of the medieval
village of Weesp, there is a place with no yesterday, no tomorrow, there is only
now. All the people living there have severe dementia but they still can enjoy
normal life and social contacts. Welcome to dementia village with population 152
where there's only one way in and one way out. They'll all die there... and life
should be good in their last years.
Five time zones away there is another place with no locks at all, no gates or
fences, in the land of smiles where demented are deposited by their European
families, freely living in the moment until they take their last breath. The
cost of caring for dementia patients has skyrocketed in recent years and it's
created an industry of medical tourism... especially in Thailand.
Beyond the bustle of Thailand's northern city of Chiang Mai there's a quiet
street and aged houses where the inhabitants occupy a private and mysterious
world. Thailand is already known for its medical tourism and now this industry
is worth almost four billion dollars a year. This latest business model is
called "the granny export" and it touched a raw nerve back in Europe. The pain
of this disease is often felt more by family who still hold the memories instead
of those who've lost them.

Toxic Light-Darkside of Mercury Bulbs

5/6/2014

Many homeowners choose compact fluorescent, or CFL, bulbs because of their high
energy efficiency and long life. By consuming less energy than incandescent
bulbs, CFLs help protect the environment and reduce monthly energy costs.
Unfortunately, these bulbs often contain mercury, which poses a risk to people's
health and the environment. Before you buy, make sure you understand the dangers
of mercury, as well as how to handle cleanup and disposal of these bulbs.

Resonance - Beings of Frequency

4/28/2014

In the mid eighties fewer than 3% of all people in most of the countries were
using cell phones, but if you fast forward to today
almost 100% of the people are using cell phones.
By the time they're 19 or 20 years old, our children will have used the phone
for 10 years, and we have no idea what type of risk that's carrying. Now we live
an an ocean of electromagnetic radiation.
It's all around us now, invisible, but we know it's there. Every time you
lift up your mobile phone you know it's there. It is very hard to turn the clock
back, in fact it is impossible, but we need to be aware of the adverse health
effects so that we can have the choice of taking precautions against the
exposures.
How we could have possibly thought that putting microwaves to our brain was
safe. We just don't fully understand what we're doing.

Way Beyond Weight

3/11/2014

Way Beyond Weight is a documentary about obesity, the biggest
epidemic in the history that affects children.
For the first time children have the same disease symptoms as adults: heart
and breathing problems, depression, and type 2 diabetes. All of them are based on obesity.
Worldwide, kids are heavier than they should be. And unhealthy. From Brazil
to Kuwait, childhood obesity is becoming very common.
Why are kids carrying this extra weight? The industry, the marketers, the
parents, the governments. Who is responsible for raising a healthy child?
Beyond Weight is a movie that seeks to answer those questions in
depth. It interviews families, kids and specialists from all over the world.

Vanishing of the Bees

3/11/2014

Vanishing of the Bees is a documentary film by Hive Mentality Films &
Hipfuel films, directed by George Langworthy and Maryam Henein and released
in the United Kingdom on October 9. The story centers
around the sudden disappearance of honey
bees from beehives around the world, caused by the poorly
understood phenomenon known as Colony
Collapse Disorder or CCD. Although the film does not draw any
firm scientific conclusions as to the precise cause or causes of CCD, it does
suggest a link between neonicotinoid pesticides and CCD.

Addicted to Plastic

3/7/2014

Addicted to Plastic is a documentary focusing on the worldwide
production and environmental effects of plastic. The host takes a 2-year trip
around the world to give us a better understanding of the life cycle of plastic.
It’s probably fair to say that we all believe buying goods (pencils, food,
electronics, etc.) with less packaging is a good thing, and when we separate our
trash and drop the plastic rubbish into the blue box for the morning pickup, it
all gets recycled, and we can feel confident we’ve done our part for the
environment.
The development of degradable plastics is a good thing, but a lot of what we
use – new trash as well as old – has penetrated some very disturbing levels of
the food chain and the ecosystem, and the makes the case that all is not well in
our world via a simple boat trip to the North Pacific Central Gyre, aka the
Eastern Garbage patch, where air pressure and rotating water currents swirl and
push all kinds of floating trash to the water’s surface.

Gaming 4 Life

3/4/2014

Escaping harsh reality or relaxing after a hard working day? A guilty
pleasure or the only reason to wake up in the morning?
Computer games are made for fun, but sometimes they cause one's real life
turning into one slaughterous level which inevitably results in Game Over.
For gamers the computer is everything, so much so that they can
even earn money through tournaments and sponsorships.
Some even meet their future spouses online, but for others games can take up
too much of their time and affect family life.
Psychiatrists and psychologists argue whether or not the human mind can be
negatively affected by games, but for many they instead serve to help bring
people together.
