| 27 October 2011 UK Edition | Dear Reader, Researchers have discovered something that may be a big help to cancer patients' recovery.
It can decrease anxiety and pain and increase quality of life.
It may also benefit heart rate, respiratory rate, and blood pressure, as well as boost immune system functioning.
It's not the latest Big Pharma drug. And it's not even a supplement. Best of all, it's pretty cheap. Even free.
It might sound a little odd, or too simple, but a review of 30 trials involving 1,891 patients provides solid evidence for this particular healer: Music.
That's right. Music could be a big player in helping cancer patients heal. Whether it's music therapy provided by professionals or just listening to recorded music, researchers saw positive results.
Granted, explorations of the healing benefits are nothing new — you can probably think of several times in your own life when music has improved your mood or sense of well- being. If you're thinking back to your teenage years, you probably remember finding solace in music when you were feeling oh-so-misunderstood by the world around you.
Music is already used to decrease tension and anxiety during surgeries and chemotherapy treatments. This, however, is the first time researchers have examined such a large collection of evidence.
The results of 16 of the 30 trials investigated show that music may decrease anxiety (with both cancer and heart disease patients). Six trials showed benefits to physical symptoms including moderate pain reduction.
Overall, the results were pretty darn supportive of including music as part of cancer treatment — whatever route you may take there. And even if you're not fighting cancer, music may be just the thing to give your body and mind a boost — in fact, I'm going to go put the radio on now!

Q: Years ago I remember reading something about using histamine to treat multiple sclerosis. Do you have any additional information on this therapy? Dr Jonathan V. Wright: While it is not a cure, many individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS) have experienced remarkable relief from their symptoms following treatment with histamine patches called Procarin. There is a theory that MS is a manifestation of an allergy, and that histamine can be used with considerable success (especially if given early) to reverse blood vessel spasm associated with the disease and restore normal blood flow to affected tissue to promote healing. Procarin is made up of histamine derived from natural amino acids and other natural substances that slow the breakdown and release of the histamine. There are a few potential drawbacks to keep in mind: The patches must be used continuously and indefinitely to maintain relief, and instructions for use must be followed very carefully. Procarin can be on the expensive side, but this "drawback" may be a small price to pay for the relief many people experience using this natural therapy. Bear in mind we are not addressing anyone's personal situation and you should rely on this for informational purposes only. Please consult with your own physician before acting on any recommendations contained herein. Wishing you the best of health, Andrew Miller UK Editor Nutrition and Healing P.S.
