Guest guest Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 Hi all, Taken from: http://bmj.bmjjournals.com/uknews/news20040706.shtml#3 (i'm quite impressed that the BMJ, one of the UK's most well known medical journals is pumping this info out). Tree bark pill beats DVT Zinopin R, a new drug which went on sale over the counter in chemists' shops last week can be used by long-haul air and car travellers to combat the threat of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT). It has similar blood-thinning effects to aspirin but does not have the potential side-effects of stomach upset or internal bleeding. ZinopinR is made up of two natural food supplements which help boost circulation. Frequent fliers can take it as often as they require because there are no harmful side-effects. Does anyone know what tree bark they are referring to? Green tea improves chance of beating ovarian cancer A study at Curtin University in Perth, Australia, found that drinking green tea cancer increase the survival rates of women with ovarian cancer. The study found that almost 80 per cent of tea drinkers survived compared to 48 per cent of non tea-drinkers. It also found that the more tea the woman drank the greater the degree of protection offered. Green tea is though to stimulate the immune system.
