When she was in the hospital, Anne Strieber was visited by a cat who was already dead. Now the New England Journal of Medicine reports about a Rhode Island nursing home cat named Oscar who comforts people who are about to die. Dr. David Dosa says, “He doesn’t make too many mistakes. He seems to understand when patients are about to die.”

Oscar goes to patients who are about to die and curls up next to them during their final hours. He is so accurate that the nursing home staff call family members to come to the patient?s bedside whenever Oscar does this.

The consumption of more than three glasses of red wine a week reduces the risk of getting colon cancer. Also, researchers have found that men who drink an average of four to seven glasses of red wine per week are only 52% as likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer as those who do not drink red wine. Red wine appears particularly protective against advanced or aggressive cancers. It also helps protect against a heart attack, a stroke and diabetes.

We reported over 4 years ago that organic food actually IS healthier to eat. Now a 10-year-study reaffirms that this is true.

In New Scientist, Duncan Graham-Rowe reports that the heart-helping compounds called favonoids are 79 to 97% higher in organic tomatoes. Researcher Alyson Mitchell says this difference is probably explained by the fact that regular, non-organic, crops are overfertilized, with too much nitrogen, because flavonoids are caused by a defense mechanism that is triggered when the plant does not get enough nutrients.

Make sure you know the SECRET of how to identify organic fruits and vegetables!
