Greetings and thank you for
being an optin subscriber!
Having guests from out of state, which we do this week, makes for
difficulty working time to get this up and out to you... Do not want
short change them as we haven't seen them in years nor do I want to
short change you. With the summer company beginning early this year
creates a problem juggling work and research, which means there will be
weeks this spring and summer when there will be no Natural Health
Education Facts ezine. It is a nice way of being overworked but will try
to not short change you if you care enough to read.
This week's "Food of the Week" is a very strange looking food
yet one that is nutritious and tasty if you try it.

Something To Think About
============================
National Cancer
Institute QUESTIONS CHEMO DRUG ADRIAMYCIN
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) has issued a very
negative report on the drug Adriamycin (doxorubin) as well the other
anthracycline drugs (epirubicin and idarubicin). As we reported here in
2007, prominent oncologists had begun to warn their colleagues and the
public that use of this toxic class of drugs was unnecessary in as many
as 92 percent of the breast cancer patients who received it. This point
of view has now been given powerful support by a new Canadian study in
the Journal of the National Cancer Institute (O'Malley 2009), with an
accompanying editorial by Dr. Slamon (Slamon 2009).
The authors of the new article studied 438 tumor specimens from
premenopausal women who had node-positive breast cancer and were given
adjuvant chemotherapy after surgery. All the women received either a
regimen known as "CEF" which contained, in addition to the standard
drugs cyclophosphamide and 5-FU, epirubicin (an anthracycline); or they
received an older regimen, "CMF" which contained, in addition to
cyclophosphamide and 5-FU, the non-anthracycline methotrexate.
Scientists then looked for the presence or absence of certain markers on
the cancer cells, called TOP2A and HER2. Their key finding was that
patients whose tumors showed changes in these markers did indeed survive
longer after receiving CEF (the anthracycline-containing regimen) than
those treated with CMF. But they also showed that patients who did not
have TOP2A changes had no significant improvement in survival (O'Malley
2009).
As Slamon commented in his accompanying editorial:
"This report is the latest in a series of publications that question the
generalized assumption that there is an incremental benefit to all
breast cancer patients who receive anthracycline-based adjuvant therapy
as opposed to non-anthracycline-containing adjuvant therapy" (Slamon
2009).
Slamon's remarkable editorial is available free of charge at the JNCI
Web site. I urge all readers who are seriously interested in this
question to study it carefully (link below). It contains much
fascinating information on how the anthracyclines became part of the
standard of care for adjuvant breast cancer chemotherapy.
Why does all this matter? Even in the world of toxic chemotherapy,
Adriamycin (and its fellow anthracyclines) are notoriously dangerous:
Slamon refers to the "well-known, long-term, and life-threatening
problems associated with anthracyclines" (Slamon 2009). These adverse
effects include cardiac toxicity including congestive heart failure as
well as bone marrow dysfunction, including acute leukemia and
myelodysplasia. These serious adverse effects have long been known.
However, Slamon now presents data showing that "longer follow-up...of
breast cancer patients who received adjuvant anthracyclines for their
breast cancers indicates that our initial assessments may have
underestimated these long-term toxicities" (Slamon 2009). In other
words, the news about the long-term effects of anthracyclines is worse
than we thought.
Slamon makes the further point that earlier assessments of the risks and
benefits of adjuvant chemotherapy lumped all patients together in a
rather crude way. "We now know that the molecular diversity of human
breast cancers is much more complex and that clinical benefits derived
from various systemic therapeutic interventions can be profoundly
affected by the molecular subtype of the disease" (ibid.)
Since 2007 he has been courageously warning about the danger of the
anthracyclines and calling for individualizing cancer treatment based on
molecular characteristics of the tumor. I wholeheartedly agree. But I
would argue that the issue is even larger. Oncology (like modern
medicine in general) has a tendency to put patients into cookie cutter
molds. The reason may be economics - it's more cost-effective to treat
patients en masse with minimal time spent dealing with their individual
characteristics.
But modern science (not to mention ancient humanism) tells us that each
person is different, and that treatment should be individualize based on
all aspects of the person. The molecular characteristics of the tumor
are one important new part of that. But I would argue that this
individualization should include chemosensitivity testing of tumors, the
creation of autologous vaccines, and a more holistic approach that takes
into account the psychological and social needs of the patient.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY!
=======================
Due to
such an epidemic of diabetes I feel this bit of information is something
women and men should know. Men may totally misunderstand their partner's
lack of interest and hopefully this will make it less stressful for both
partners.
Diabetes often affects women's sex life
Fri May 8, 2009
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Over one third of women with type 1 diabetes
have some form of sexual difficulty, according to a new study.
The findings also suggest that depression is a key factor linked to the
problems with sexuality for such women. In contrast to what has been
shown in men, however, complications from diabetes itself do not have a
significant impact.
The study, reported in the medical journal Diabetes Care, involved 652
women with type 1 diabetes. After 10-years, the participants completed a
sexual function questionnaire and underwent a physical examination, an
evaluation of mood, and laboratory testing.
Thirty-five percent of the women were classified as having sexual
dysfunction, Dr. Paul Enzlin, from Leuven University in Belgium, and
colleagues found.
Problems reported by these women included loss of libido by 57 percent,
problems with orgasm by 51 percent, reduced lubrication by 47 percent,
reduced arousal by 38 percent, and pain by 21 percent.
On initial analysis, sexual dysfunction was linked to older age, not
being married, being postmenopausal, having circulatory problems, and
depression. After taking into account various other conditions that
could affect these associations, only depression and marital status were
significantly related to sexual dysfunction.
"Similar to the annual evaluation of diabetes complications," Enzlin's
team concludes, "women with type 1 diabetes should also be regularly
queried about the presence of depressive symptoms, sexual function, and
sexual satisfaction."

Probiotics
may help ward off postpartum obesity
Fri May 8, 2009
By Anthony J. Brown, MD
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Pregnant women who take probiotic supplements
starting in the first trimester are less likely to develop central obesity after
they've given birth, according to a new study.
Central obesity was defined as a body mass index of 30 or higher or a waist
circumference greater than 80 centimeters, about 31-1/2 inches.
At 1 year after giving birth, 25 percent of women given probiotics along with
dietary counseling had central obesity based on that definition, compared with
43 percent of women given diet advice alone.
The findings were reported Thursday at the European Congress on Obesity being
held in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
"This is the first study showing that probiotics-supplemented diet during
pregnancy and breastfeeding influences the adiposity of women over the 12-month
postpartum period," Kirsi Laitinen, from the University of Turku, Finland, told
Reuters Health.
The results stem from a study of 256 pregnant women who were given either
probiotic capsules plus dietary advice, or placebo capsules plus dietary advice,
or placebo capsules and no dietary advice. The probiotic capsules, which
contained Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, were continued for up to 6 months
after delivery until the women had stopped exclusive breastfeeding.
The percentages of women with central obesity at 1 year were 25 percent, 43
percent, and 40 percent in the probiotic, dietary advice-only, and
no-probiotic/advice groups, respectively. The corresponding average body fat
percentages were 28 percent, 29 percent, and 30 percent.
Laitinen noted that one limitation of the study was "the lack of baseline
measurement of waist circumference, which was not possible to conduct in
pregnant women."
Modification of normal bacterial in the intestines probiotics "together with a
balanced diet may offer a reasonably economic, practical, safe and potentially
successful method to be used with other lifestyle-related factors in controlling
obesity," the researcher said -- while acknowledging that further studies are
needed to verify these findings.
LENA'S COMMENT: I've told you for several years that probiotics were
necessary to total health or can imbalance of probiotics create illness. Now we
know that it is also important in preventing post-partum depression and
post-pregnant obesity. Sadly not mentioned in that study was Digestive Enzymes.
They also fit into that category as a necessary part of the digestive tract
health, since people eat very little raw organic fruits and vegetables to keep
their body alive with digestive enzymes. It's no wonder that IBS, Hiatus Hernia,
GERD and other stomach and intestinal disorders are rampant as the body does not
have sufficient digestive enzymes or balanced probiotics to keep a healthy
immune system to ward them off... If you don' have a high end health food store
to obtain quality digestive enzyme probiotic formula

Ugly
Little Nutrient!
Last spring my husband came in the back door with two lugs of these ugly
reddish/brown things that he was all excited about as he had seen a
documentary about them some time ago but had never seen them in real
life. His friend had just delivered two lugs that he got in Mexico. He
thought I should be all excited and ready to scarf them up, but they
stunk and didn't look appetizing at all but I gave in and tried one. I
popped the skin open and juice squirted. Looked like I had a large
peeled green grape in my hand and I tasted it. I have not tasted
anything with that flavor but it was sweet and juicy and something I can
live with.
What was that ugly thing?
 A
Lychee (Litchi chinensis), also spelled Litchi or Laichi and Lichu,
Chinese , Hanyu Pinyin: L?h ; Mexico and Central America Lichis: is the
sole member of the genus Litchi in the soapberry family Sapindaceae. It
is a tropical fruit tree native to southern China. It is also commonly
found in India (Muzaffarpur), Bangladesh, southern Taiwan, northern
Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, and Southern Africa also
grown in Mexico. Fifteen known types of lychee's grown in various parts
of the world.
Native to Southeast Asia, the litchi is cultivated in subtropical
regions including California, Florida and Hawaii. Fresh litchis are
available from June to about mid-July.
One of China's cherished fruits for over 2,000 years, the small (1 to 2
inches in diameter) litchi has a rough, bright red shell. Sweet white
flesh is smooth and translucent, like a swollen grape, around a single
seed stone.
Choose Lychee's with brightly colored skins free of blemishes. Place in
a plastic bag and refrigerate unshelled for up to a week. Shell, seed
and eat plain or as part of a fruit salad or dessert. Canned and dried
litchis are available year-round. When dried they're often referred to
as litchi nuts because they resemble a nut - the shell turns a dark
reddish brown and the flesh becomes brown and crisp.
* Low in saturated fat
* No cholesterol
* Very low in sodium
* Very high in vitamin C
Minerals in Dried Litchis Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus,
Potassium, Sodium, Zinc, Copper, Manganese & Selenium.
Vitamins in Dried Litchis; Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid), Thiamin vitamin
B-1, Riboflavin (vitamin B-2), Niacin(vitamin B-3), Pantothenic Acid

They are generally eaten as a snack, much in the same way as nuts or
candy, but can be put in fruit salads, if you have the patients to cut
the meat off the stone.
Go try this unusual fruit!

Sadly food alone
can yield all the necessary healthy nutrients, as they did in centuries past, so we can't rely
totally on our food intake, because of the lack of nutrients in our
soils and the pollutants added in the form of air pollution, pesticides
and fertilizers. Read the 1936 Report

Do You Really Want Healing?
©
By Lena Sanchez
You are probably saying, "Of course I do or I wouldn't go to the
doctor!" Seeing a doctor makes it more unlikely that you would
be healing much of anything.
I have calls from twenty-five to fifty people a week who want
to know how to treat a health problem naturally. Sadly, 99% of
those do not have the courage it takes to treat naturally and I
never hear from them again. I often wonder how they are,
although I know most will only become more ill with time. This
leads me to believe most people choose ill health over healing!
Dr. Wayne Garland, ND/TCM and I work at helping the small
percentage of people who have the courage and are willing to
choose to make the life changes required to overcome their
illness and disease. Of those few a large portion have cancer
that is deadly in their eyes but if the right choices were made
could overcome it. Even though a person chooses to follow the
nutritional, herbal and mineral protocol and become healthy
again they make one major mistake once sound health prevails.
That being; going back to old habits that will find them in the
same spot again a few years down the road as the cancer or
illness returns.
One person who chose the changes that brought him to total
health then returned to old habits one his cancer was gone has
now filed a lawsuit against Dr. Garland. This seems rather sad
as he overcome cancer with Dr. Garland's guidance and help eight
years before but found the cancer recently returned and now
trying to put the blame on Dr. Garland for it. Upon
investigation into his allegation we found the young man,
returned to his old habits of daily sodas, meat, dairy and fast
foods and stopped taking the balanced minerals and following
immune building habits. I feel certain that when it goes to
trial this young man will be found at fault and not Dr. Garland
We never guarantee a lifetime illness or disease-free if a
person returns to their old habits.
Are you so ensconced in habit that you are most likely to become
ill at some point in time?
What are some of your habits that will assure you being ill?
- Not balancing out your body's mineral system is key to
overcoming illness, but with bad habits cannot even assure
that 100%! Read the
ABC's of Minerals and you will then understand these
next two statements!
- Not giving your body the
MegaNutrient vitamin supplements daily necessary or your
organs can't function to their best ability!
- Not giving your body the nutrients through the right
foods to make illness less likely!
- Failure to get proper sun and exercise that will help
produce health building reactions in the body.
These four things are key to being healthy but the majority
cannot overcome their bad habit of eating wrong, not
supplementing, being a couch potato and thinking they are
invincible, therefore refuse to choose health over illness by
those same habits.
Make sure your life can stand up to the illness causing critters
it comes in contact with daily by following the right principals
of health!

Formaldehyde raises risk of deadly cancers: study
by Julie
Steenhuysen; Editing by Eric Walsh
Tue May 12, 2009
CHICAGO (Reuters) - Industrial workers who are exposed to the
chemical formaldehyde may have a significantly higher risk of
dying from blood and lymphatic cancers, U.S. government
researchers said on Tuesday.
A study of more than 25,000 workers at industrial plants that
produced formaldehyde and formaldehyde resin found workers with
the highest exposures had a 37 percent increased risk of death
compared to those with the lowest exposure levels, they reported
in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.
They said exposure to the chemical raised the risk of several
specific cancers, including Hodgkin's lymphoma, multiple
myeloma, and myeloid leukemia -- the type most often associated
with chemical exposure.
The formaldehyde industry disputed the study's findings.
Since the 1980s, researchers at the National Cancer Institute
have been studying cancer deaths among the workers, who were
employed at 10 industrial plants before 1966 that used
formaldehyde and formaldehyde resin to make molded-plastic
products, decorative laminates, photographic film or plywood.
In a previous report from this study, which included data on
cancer deaths through 1994, researchers showed that the risk of
death from leukemias, and myeloid leukemia in particular,
increased with higher levels of formaldehyde exposure.
In this report, which includes an average follow-up of over 40
years, the risk of death from myeloid leukemia was 78 percent
higher among industrial workers with the highest peak exposures
compared to those with the lowest peak exposures.
Excess risks of death from myeloid leukemia have also been
reported among pathologists, embalmers, and other professionals
who experience high-intensity peak exposures to formaldehyde.
Formaldehyde is widely used for industrial purposes and as a
preservative and disinfectant. In 1995, the U.S. Occupational
Safety and Health Administration estimated that approximately
2.1 million workers in the United States were exposed to
formaldehyde.
The Formaldehyde Council, a trade association, said in a
statement that the scientific data the report was based upon did
not "support the inferences put forth by the authors, who admit
that their study proved no definitive link to cancers of the
blood and bone marrow."
The council said it repeated its support for a full scientific
review of the health effects of formaldehyde by the National
Academy of Sciences, as proposed by a U.S. congressional
recommendation in 2008.
REUTERS.COM
LENA'S COMMENT: I was a victim of formaldehyde
poisoning in 2001 when we moved into our new home. Three days
after moving in I became very ill and couldn't imagine why as I
am careful to take my supplements to control my Fibromyalgia and
Meiner's diseases yet I was very ill with flu and fibromyalgia
like symptoms. Six months and Thousands of dollars later I was
diagnosed with environmental poisoning from my new home. With
investigation found it to be mainly formaldehyde. So even if you
don't work around it you can have it swirling around you in your
home.
