[Title] => Melatonin as an adjunctive therapy for cancer
[Summary] => Melatonin, an over-the-counter food supplement available in most drugstores, has been used with conventional anticancer therapy in more than a dozen clinical studies. Results have been surprisingly good so far, although these researches must be considered preliminary.
These studies suggest that melatonin may enhance the effectiveness of standard therapy for breast cancer, prostate cancer, brain glioblastomas, non—small-cell lung cancer, and other forms of cancer.

[Title] => Can melatonin extend lifespan?
[Summary] => Health experts are now seriously studying the possibility of the potential benefit of the natural sleep-enhancing food supplement melatonin in extending lifespan.
In test-tube and animal experiments, researchers have found that melatonin protects cells, strengthens the immune system, slows the growth of some tumors, and protects the heart and blood vessels.
Tests with laboratory mice suggest that melatonin might also reduce the effects of aging and enhance sexual function, but scientists caution that these results are very preliminary and still not conclusive.

[Title] => Omega-3 recommended for diabetics, CHD patients
[Summary] => Many practicing physicians are now prescribing supplementation with omega-3 fatty acids for patients classified as high-risk to develop heart attacks and strokes.
Since diabetics belong to this high-risk group and are, in fact, classified as a coronary heart disease (CHD) equivalent, leading medical experts in diabetes or diabetologists in the country are also now recommending the use of omega-3 for these patients.

[Title] => Melatonin shows anti-cancer, other benefits
[Summary] => Research on the food supplement melatonin looks very promising, especially in view of exciting recent findings.
This was the remark of Prof. Thomas Radecki, M.D., one of the world’s renowned authorities on melatonin, in his published paper.
According to Radecki, melatonin production tends to be reduced or lacks the normal cycling pattern in old age and in many diseases, including dementia, HIV infection, anorexia nervosa, autism, heart attacks, heart failure, migraines, and obesity.

[Title] => Omega-3 may prevent sudden cardiac death
[Summary] => With prominent personalities suddenly succumbing due to heart problems, people are now more conscious about sudden cardiac death. Studies show that about half of all deaths from heart disease are sudden and unexpected, regardless of the underlying disease.
This may be due to narrowing of the coronary arteries in patients with diabetes or cholesterol problems, degeneration of the heart muscle or cardiac enlargement in patients with high blood pressure.

[Title] => When normal melatonin production is disrupted
[Summary] => Nurses and other women who work regular night shifts have a higher risk of colon cancer, according to a study. Lack of the natural hormone melatonin is one of the implicated mechanisms.
The study, made by researchers from the Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, confirmed earlier studies which said that women who work graveyard shifts may be at higher risk of having colon and breast cancer.
