One of the original reasons which propelled me to start Positive Health magazine PH Online in 1994, with my partner, was a general 'perception' of a lack of published research regarding natural - rather than drug-based - treatment approaches to health conditions and illnesses, ranging from the seriously life-threatening including cancer and heart disease to the more chronic everyday ailments including back pain, allergies, headaches, etc.

As we publish this October 2010 Issue 175 of Positive Health PH Online, news items have been prominent across the media regarding progress with targeted genome molecular research in melanoma cancer - the development of PLX4032, which has shown to reduce tumour size in late-stage melanoma patients.
