Posted by admin / Under Cancer (astrology)
[E]very now and then, I need to step away from the sewer of politics and just breath in the beauty of life itself. And the older I get, the more beauty I discover. Some of the most special moments can be found in the examples some people give us of their selfless devotion to causes. Sometimes it’s just a touching moment or lyric that makes me realize the beauty of a phrase or a simple act of kindness. These moments are easy to miss if we are so steeped in the argument of politics that we close our eyes to...

Catholics Praying for Christopher Hitchens
Posted by admin / Under Cancer (astrology)
Christopher Hitchens is a well-known author and an evangelical atheist. He has often been harshly and unfairly critical of the Catholic Church, even to the point of attacking Blessed Teresa of Calcutta and calling for the arrest of Pope Benedict.

It works by preventing the liver from breaking down starch into sugar while also stimulating uptake of sugar by the body's muscles, causing blood sugar and insulin levels to fall. But when a number of studies noticed that diabetic patients taking metformin also had a significantly lower cancer rate, scientists began investigating its cancer-fighting properties. Dr. Michael Pollak, a professor of oncology at McGill University, said the findings that metformin might be a cancer fighter are "one of the most unexpected and innovative findings" he's seen in years. "Here we...
