Something To Think About
============================

The finding that DHA supplements cut the amount of tumor formation by two-thirds in experimental rats was astonishing, but not exactly new. It was in line with previous findings that a fish oil-enriched diet could inhibit the formation of various other kinds of tumors, including papillomas (Akihisa 2004), breast cancer (Manna 2008, Yuri 2003, Noguchi 1997), cancers of the large and small intestines (Toriyama-Baba 2001) lungs (Toriyama-Baba 2001), colon cancer (Takahashi 1993, Iigo 1997), sarcoma (Ramos 2004), and prostate cancer (Kelavkar 2006). Other studies have shown that omega-3 is strongly associated with a decreased risk of aggressiveness in prostate (Fradet 2006), kidney (Wolk 2006) and breast cancer (Kim 2009).

But DHA supplementation worked better at preventing the occurrence or recurrence of tumors than at treating established tumors. "Our study shows that DHA given as a daily oral supplement displays a moderate capacity to reduce neuroblastoma growth in the majority of treated animals," Judith Gleissman and her Karolinska coworkers wrote, "but not in all." Some animals simply did not incorporate DHA into their tumor tissue, and it was precisely those animals that did not respond to the treatment. That needs to be studied further as to why!

Calming the "Overactive Inflammatory Response"
The core of this problem is the body's own over-enthusiasm to protect itself. Whenever stress levels become overwhelming, whether from emotional stress at work, the loss of a job or loved one, financial stress or overexertion from exercise, the body triggers a cascade of signals to the immune system which goes into overdrive to protect itself.

When this continues day in and day out, inflammation explodes and becomes like a forest fire in the blood and tissues. That's why doctors are baffled in treating it, drugs have no answer anyway.

What we theorized is that if this condition is like a "fire", why not use Mother Nature's own "fire extinguishers" that work naturally to put it out? So, we poured over hundreds and hundreds of research reports and a clear picture was revealed of how to do it.

Everyone benefits from reduced inflammation

Here's a peek at the power behind the plant based ingredients in Age-Less Rx:
Holy Basil - considered a spiritual mood enhancer in India, this herb has layers of effectiveness including supporting healthy blood sugar levels and carbohydrate metabolism. It also has various neurotransmitter-modulating effects along with having analgesic properties and anti-stress effects.
Turmeric (the source of our Super Curcumin C-3 pain reducing formula) - thousands of scientific studies have shown that the Curcuminoids from Turmeric can have a modulating effect on both "COX-2" and "LOX" pathways which are the supply lines of the fire and inflammation. By cutting this off, the pain is shut off.
Resveratrol (Polygonum Cuspidum) - the miracle discovery to fight aging, especially in the skin and the brain. In a recent medical journal article, the conclusions were that Resveratrol as derived from Polygonum Cuspidum extract, has a comprehensive suppressive effect on oxidative and inflammatory stress.
Ginger Root Extract - one of the greatest fire-fighters in natural medicine, amazing pain-relieving action.
Boswellin - known, revered and utilized by Ayurvedic medicine healers for thousands of years for its anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving actions, with no side effects except relief.
Bromelain - another one of Mother Nature's "unsung heroes" in the pain relief medicine cabinet.
Green Tea Extract - apart from providing instant, natural energy production, Green Tea is also a superb antioxidant to support aging by scavenging free radicals that cause damage to the cells. According to a major university database notes green tea contains 51 phytonutrients that promote a healthy inflammation response.
Baikal Skullcap - a rare Mongolian herb used for centuries that according to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) tradition drains heat from the body, thus eliciting an anti-inflammatory effect. Recent studies suggest the healing properties are attributed to Baikal's high flavonoid content.
Berberine - long used as a remedy in China and India for combating infections, Berberine contains powerful anti-oxidant capabilities, boosting immune system response. Click here to see info and/or place order with secure shopping cart.

Fixing and/or Preventing Summer Stomach Upsets
© By Lena Sanchez

This time of the year Ecoli related illnesses tend to run rampant, in the warmer parts of the world, due to picnics and outdoor eating and foods sitting too long building up bacteria ready to hit your stomach with upsets. Sadly treatment given isn't always best!

Sometimes it may mean only a small bout with diarrhea and then it's gone. Other times it can be severe stomach cramping along with vomiting that says you've been hit hard but you will live. Other times it may mean fever, flu like symptoms and serious consequences to the point of death in small children and aged.

Those BBQ's can end up with not so great stomach symptoms. E. coli, being the most common one, causing vomiting, cramping and severe diarrhea, which can then lead to dehydration, which can end up with the heart going into Atrial Fibrillation from the lack of minerals in the body due to dehydration.

One of the most common sources of Ecoli is eating undercooked meat. Ecoli outbreaks often occur during the summertime when many are enjoying barbecues, picnics and foods served at public carnivals and festivals.

Antibiotic Treatment by the medical world for Ecoli is Risky not to forget that it descimates the intestinal system which is already suffering from the toxins.

Treatments that I have found to work without antibiotics are;
1 - Minerals balance to keep the heart and other organs functioning as they should. If the vomiting and diarrhea are really severe you may need to drop 1 or 2 drops of liquid minerals on pieces of fruit or vegetables until the body can hold food down. Minerals/chemical imbalance is what kills dehydrated people.

2 - Add Probiotics to the intestinal track to help take care of the Ecoli naturally. This addition will overcome and kill the offending bacteria! Ecoli cannot take hold of your system when a balanced intestinal ecosystem exists. Better yet, have your intestinal tract so tuned up that Ecoli can't get access to it at all. See why by clicking to Read Ecosystem Truths!

3 - Take a tablespoon of Ionic Sliver Water morning and evening for two or three days, this is also known to kill the offending bacteria, even those that hide in the system that come out later and cause problems. With both these additions you can enjoy the summer.

These three should be kept in your medicine war chest (not in the bathroom cabinet) as they are the closest thing to helping the most illnesses and keep the immune system tuned up to ward off illnesses.

If you don't know where to obtain any of the three of these try the least expensive yet most effective Igo to http://www.antibiotic-alternatives.com/herbal_pharmacy.htm

The roots so many love to hate!

This particular root is not a very popular root and most kids will turn up their noses at them just from the smell but are packed with nutrients. That root being Turnips and/or Rutabagas!

As I prepared to can my husbands garden fare I decided to elaborate on why we love these roots and tops!

Turnips and rutabagas are among the most commonly grown and widely adapted root crops. They are members of the Cruciferae or mustard family and belong to the genus Brassica. Turnips are (Brassica rapa) and rutabagas are (Brassica napobrassica). The two are similar in plant size and general confused as to which is which. You can tell the differences as turnip roots generally have little or no neck and a distinct taproot, while rutabaga roots are often more elongated and have a thick, leafy neck and roots originating from the underside of the edible root as well as from the taproot. Both have about the same nutrients and health benefits.

Good-quality turnips will be very firm, smooth-skinned and heavy for their size. The coloring will be light-purple on the top fading to bright-white at the bottom. Avoid turnips that are soft, spongy, blemished with brown spots, cut or lightweight for its size.

Healthy nutrients in Organic Roots:

Organic vegetables have 40% to 90% more nutrients making them better for you. Heavy in fiber content, which is needed to keep the intestinal tract working properly and healthy digestive flora thriving along with heart building goodies. Those health building nutrients include the minerals; Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, phosphorus, Potassium, Sodium, Zinc, Copper, Manganese and Selenium. Vitamins are; Vitamin C, Riboflavin, Niacin, Pantothenic acid, B-6, Folate, Folic acid, B-12, Vitamin A, Retinol and Vitamin E.

Turnip green tops are loaded with nutrients but not usually taken from full grown roots as they will be tough and require a much longer cooking time and a lot of flavoring to mask the bitter taste. Greens are usually picked for eating before the roots develop into full grown bulbs. We harvest them when thinning plants in the early growth? Mature turnips or greens are really too tough and strong to eat raw and will need to be cooked. Young turnips make for great healthy raw food with any meal!

These beautiful roots from the garden, which we love fresh sliced and eaten raw or the greens cooked and a dash of rice vinegar added or the root sliced and cooked crunchy tender. But you can serve them to those who say they don't like them as I do.

Fooling Turnip Haters Recipe

2 pounds fresh turnip roots
1 fresh apple (optional)
2 or 3 tablespoons butter or virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon brown sugar
Salt and pepper to taste

First peel the turnips with a vegetable peeler. Peel the apple too if you like, but it isn't necessary, unless he skin is really ugly. Chop or slice the turnips, (and the apple) into the chunks the right size for eating. Fill a big pot half full of water. Add the turnips, apple (if you're using it), the margarine, sugar and salt and pepper as you like. Cover the pot and simmer on the back of the stove for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until the turnip chunks are tender to your preference. Serve hot. They will never know they are eating turnips.

Root vegetables are usually very nutritious and health builders, so go out and eat them knowing you are getting healthier for it.

NOTE: Sadly food alone cannot yield all the necessary healthy nutrients - especially balance of minerals - as they did in centuries past. Because of the lack of nutrients in our soils and the pollutants added in the form of air pollution, pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers in regular farming and raising of fruits and vegetable, important nutrients are almost nonexistent (organic foods grown without the chemicals have 40% to 90% more nutrients) and we know the body is not capable of producing minerals with even the healthiest of diets, as it can vitamins, and must be obtained from our foods or daily supplemented...

If you need to be treated for cancer how can you know if you doctor is doing it for your benefit or his?

You may not have the information you need to know that fact!

A recent study provides evidence that some oncologists prescribe chemotherapy based on their financial reward rather than the medical needs of their patients. This is a continuation of the "Chemotherapy Concession," which came to public light a decade ago. It is a system, unique in the medical world, whereby oncologists can buy drugs at deep discount and then dispense them at the higher, Medicare rate in their offices. In effect, participating oncologists run a kind of pharmacy as a side business (although it is rarely identified as such to the patients). This represents a considerable part of some oncologists' income.

The new study, which appeared last week in the online edition of Health Affairs, will appear in print in July. It showed that when the US Congress tried to reduce Medicare spending in 2003, some oncologists responded by treating a greater number of patients with more expensive drugs to make up for this lost income.

"Many doctors ended up prescribing chemotherapy for more of their patients, to make up for lower prices," commented Reed Abelson, who has long followed this issue for the New York Times. In some cases, doctors bought drugs for 20 percent below the Medicare reimbursement rate. This generated "large sums" (ibid.) that oncologists realized between the wholesale and the retail prices. The authors of the Health Affairs study analyzed the records of over 200,000 lung cancer patients treated between 2003 and 2005. Contrary to expectations, when the Medicare cuts went into effects, doctors wound up giving more extensive (and expensive) treatments. Before the law went into effect, 16.5 percent of such patients received chemotherapy. After the law went into effect this rose to 18.9 percent of patients. Although the authors only analyzed lung cancer, this 2.4 percent difference could be considerable, especially if applied to a substantial portion of the 1,529,460 Americans that are expected to develop cancer in 2010, according to the American Cancer Society (ACS).

SMOKING BAN IN WORKING PLACE DECREASES HEART ATTACKS ALMOST 60%

A few years ago, Helena, Montana, banned smoking in all public buildings. Right away, doctors at a local hospital noted a dip in the number of heart attack patients in both employees and patrons.

With only one cardiac care hospital in the city, researchers seized a perfect opportunity to accurately track heart attack rates among Helena's 66,000 citizens.

A team from the University of California reports that within six months of the Helena smoking ban, heart attacks in the city dropped by almost 60 percent compared with the average rate over the four years before the ban.

Not surprising!

The aorta begins to stiffen within five minutes of exposure to secondhand smoke. In just half an hour, blood starts to get "sticky" with activated blood platelets. Blood vessel dilation is also reduced. With enough exposure, artery linings can be damaged.

By some estimates, an eight-hour shift spent working in a smoky bar has the same effect on the cardiovascular system as smoking an entire pack of cigarettes. It's called "passive" smoking, but the increased risks of heart attack, cancer, and emphysema are anything but passive.

If you're a non-smoker who works in an enclosed environment that fills up with cigarette smoke, here's a tip I've mentioned before...

Oxidative stress plays an important role in the development of cardiovascular problems and lung cancer triggered by passive smoking. So researchers examined the effects of vitamins C, E, and alpha-lipoic acid, in 67 middle-aged nonsmokers who were regularly exposed to second hand smoke.

After two months, subjects who received the nutrient mix reduced their oxidative stress by nearly 13 percent compared to placebo.

Could this advantage be enough to avoid a heart attack? That's hard to say. Your best bet: Get a smoke-free job.
