We all have abnormal cancer cells in our bodies. Most of these micro-tumors are dormant.
Cancer can not grow larger than the size of the tip of a ball point pen without first developing a network of blood vessels.
If we can prevent abnormal cells from forming a network of blood vessels, we can render them harmless.Researchers are developing drugs designed to stop blood vessel growth (called angiogenesis). These drugs have had some success; however, they come with serious side effects.
Research has demonstrated that fruits, vegetables, mushrooms and some legumes have anti-angiogenesis compounds within them that may prove to be powerful cancer preventatives
Certain supplements may help to further concentrate food-based anti-angiogenensis compounds in the body
People who consume the most fruits and vegetables enjoy a 24% lower risk of colon cancer and 16% lower risk of colorectal cancer
Dr. Shinya, the father of the colonoscopy, suggests that we should eat 80% of our diet from raw fruits and vegetables
Dr. Shinya believes that there is a mother enzyme within these raw foods that may rejuvenate the body and protect us against disease
Many falls are not linked to tripping or obstacles
Researchers recently determined that people who had low folic acid levels in the blood were at significantly increased risk of falls
For every 1 point drop in blood folate levels, there was a 19% increased risk of fall
The researchers also noted that vitamin d deficiency and depression were also linked to falls
Supplement with activated folic acid, called 5-tetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) 1 mg per day
Supplement with 4,000-5,000 iu of vitamin D – tailor your dose to your blood levels.
Canker sores are painful sores on the inner lip or tongue
Canker sores can be caused by physical trauma (like biting your lip or tongue) or out of the blue for an unknown reason
Recent research discovered that B12 deficiency may be to blame
After 6 months of supplementation with B12 people noticed significant decreases in number and severity of sores
The recommended dose of B12 is 1,000 mcg
Benefits of B12 were seen even if the subject had normal blood B12 levels
Toothpaste choice can also make a big difference. Choose toothpastes without sodium lauryl sulfate or sodium laureth sulfate.
Hot flashes are the number one complaint of women going through the change of life and is responsible for great discomfort and poor sleep quality
A recent study discovered that fish oil supplementation decreased the number of hot flashes from 2.58 per day down to 1 per day.
In addition to fish oil, an herbal remedy called Estrovera by Metagenics can be very helpful. 1 tablet in the morning.
Researchers studied the effect of 1 mg daily of folic acid on the risk of colon cancer.
Researchers found that folic acid had no significant effect on colon cancer risk
When researchers analyzed the data, they found a non-significant increase in prostate cancer risk
The bottom line is that folate seems to have no effect, positive or negative, on cancer risk
According to a recent report by the non-profit group “Commonwealth Fund” Americans get the poorest healthcare and pay the most when compared to four other rich countries.
The U.S. health care system ranks last when compared with Germany, Great Britain, Australia and Canada on measures of quality, access, efficiency, equity and outcomes
Prescription medications in the U.S. can cost 10 times or more for the same exact prescription medicine than in other countries.
The bottom line: If you want great health, take the reins and don’t rely on the government or the health insurance companies
Loss of mitochondria is known to cause the cells to malfunction
As we lose mitochondria, the cells of the body age at an accelerated rate
Sarcopenia occurs when seniors begin to lose mitochondria and then muscle seems to disintegrate from the body
Researchers found that sedentary seniors showed 596 genes to be malfunctioning in such a way that was indicative of accelerated aging
They discovered that when seniors were placed on a weight training program their strength rebounded significantly after 6 months
At the end of the study, genetic analysis showed that the genes were now expressing themselves at a much younger level! The cells had literally become younger!
Research at University of United Kingdom examined 12 studies on the impact of exercise and nicotine cravings
All 12 studies found that exercise decreased cravings for smoking
Moderate activity decreased the urge to smoke for 50 minutes
