Kiss a toad to beat cancer?
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practitioners have used huachansu to treat liver, lung, colon and pancreatic cancers for many years. Now Western doctors are catching up with dried toad venom’s anti-cancer properties.

A 15-patient trial conducted by researchers from the famed MD Anderson Cancer Center in conjunction with Fudan University Cancer Hospital in Shanghai found that doses of the venom at up to eight times higher than the traditional dosage weren’t toxic. And the venom was effective for stabilizing late-stage cancers for an average of six months, even reducing tumors by up to 20 percent.

Health tip of the day:
If you have trouble getting cool in summer or if you sweat a lot during exercise, try using sandalwood oil as a splash on cologne. Sandalwood oil has cooling properties and is used in many Asian countries to cool the body when no air conditioning is available. It smells great and works as a natural coolant on the skin. It’s also great for acne, eczema and other skin problems that can be caused by sensitivity to heat. Regrettably, due to over cultivation in India, it's very difficult to find good quality sandalwood oil, unless you happen to visit the Mysore Provence in India or Dubai- where they sell all sorts of essential oils and fragrances.. Still, even diluted versions that can be found in the USA work pretty well to keep you cool in summer months. Try shops that sell incense or Indian goods, and if possible purchase the Mysore brand which regulated by the Indian Government and is the most pure oil available in most cases.
