Study demonstrates Cenestin reduces sleep disturbances/night sweats in post-menopausal women
... Study Details Dr. Scharf's pilot study examined the effect of Cenestin on sleep in post-menopausal women experiencing nocturnal diaphoresis (excessive sweating) and hot flashes. Dr. Scharf explained that Cenestin was chosen for the study since it is derived from plant sources; he felt that women ...... In the present study, Blatt and his colleagues examined tissue samples from the brains of four autistic patients and four nonautistic people, aged 19 to 30.

To see these changes, they used a radioactive labe...Pesticides may promote Parkinson's disease and exercise may offer protection
