((
The fight against AIDS is focusing on another way to treat patients.
British scientists say a drug combination of either A-Z-T and D-D-I or
D-D-C works better than A-Z-T alone.
They found that the death rate among patients taking the A-Z-T-D-D-I combo
was 33-percent lower than those taking only A-Z-T.
And the death rate was 21-percent lower for those taking the A-Z-T-D-D-C
mixture.
Another team of British doctors is warning against relying on fiber pills
and cereals with added fiber.
The researchers say everyone should just eat enough fruits and
vegetables....because studies have yet to link fiber alone to lower rates of
heart disease and cancer. Instead, research has shown that a high-fiber diet
can reduce one's risk of disease....suggesting the benefit could come from a
number of factors.
It will soon be easier to prevent serious cases of hemo-chromatosis-- or
iron overload, a common hereditary disorder.
Researchers say they've found the gene responsible for the disease, and
hope it will lead to earlier diagnosis.))
