(October 9, 2008 - Insidermedicine) From Munich - According to research from the Cochrane Collaboration, St. John's Wort can effectively treat symptoms of major depression. In a review of 29 studies that included nearly 5,500 participants with major depression, researchers found that those who took St. John's Wort experienced results that were superior to placebo and similar to standard antidepressants. In addition, those who took the herbal remedy experienced fewer side effects.
From Orlando - According to research presented at the American College of Gastroenterology, treatment of mild to moderate Crohn's disease with infliximab works better than the immunosuppressant azathioprine. In a study of over 500 patients, researchers found that 30% of those taking azathioprine achieved remission, compared to 44% of those taking infliximab and over 56% of those who received combination therapy.
And finally, from California - According to research in the journal Cancer Epidemiology Biomarkers & Prevention, current and former smokers who drink red wine have a lower risk of lung cancer. In a study of over 84,000 men, those who had smoked at least 100 cigarettes in their lifetime and who drank at least one glass of red wine per day had a 60% reduction in lung cancer risk. However, no link was found between lung cancer risk and the consumption of beer, white wine, or liquor.
