Most important cancer news you’ll see this year

This May be the Most Important Cancer News You’ll See This Year I’m very excited about this issue’s article. Scientists may have discovered an important key – perhaps the key – to preventing and curing colon cancer. A natural plant extract available in any supplement store looks to be a potent “weapon of mass destruction” against colon cancer cells. And at first blush, I see no reason why it might not work against other cancers, too. Let’s take a look at this exciting news... Continued below… The Golden Age of Antibiotics is Over! The Golden Age of Antibiotics is over. For 60 years we have lived protected by these AMAZING drugs. Lives have been saved… Billions of lives. True, there have been complications, but that's because of abuse, not because of the wonderful life-saving properties of antibiotics.              But it's over: resistant strains are emerging like wildfire. Now there are dozens of deadly bacteria, some resistant to all known drugs.     You need to learn about alternatives. There are many safe, effective traditional remedies, which were eclipsed byantibiotics, but they worked then and will work now.     Prof. Keith Scott-Mumby, one of the world's most advanced alternative MDs, has written a comprehensive guidebook detailing every single alternative to antibiotics. He's backed up every word with solid science. You need to get this book and read it, NOW…     Don't wait… bacteria strike within hours and can be fatal SAME DAY. Click this link and be ready to save your own life and that of your loved ones.  Colorectal cancer is a growing threat to modern populations, thanks to our sedentary habits and our addiction to processed-foods . Also known as colon cancer, rectal cancer, and bowel cancer, it stems from out-of-control malignant cell growth in the rectum or colon. This cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer in the world and the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States. It’s most often seen in modern countries that enjoy a high standard of living. But even as more and more people fall victim to this disease, there’s good news on the horizon: a new study shows a simple substance known as grape seed extract (GSE) does a bang-up job of halting the growth of colorectal cancer cells. And according to this study, the more vicious the cancer cell growth rate … the more effective grape seed extract is at thwarting it. GSE: The “all-purpose” cancer killer The study came from researchers at the University of Colorado Cancer Center and was published in the journal Cancer Letters. Molly Derry, lead study author, pointed out that they’ve long since known about the power of grape seed extract to selectively target cancer cells. But here’s why the new findings are so interesting. When colorectal cancer cells metastasize and traditional therapies can’t beat them, the cancer cells actually become even more sensitive to GSE treatments. This means we now have a way, as Derry says, “… to selectively target advanced colorectal cancer cells.” Here’s another humdinger: Typically, larger chemotherapy doses are needed to kill later stage cancers. A person suffering from Stage IV colon cancer is going to be treated with much more chemo poison than a person with Stage II colon cancer. But when it comes to treating late-stage cancers with grape seed extract, less is more. Derry was quoted as saying, “It required less than half the concentration of GSE to suppress cell growth and kill 50 percent of stage IV cells than it did to achieve similar results in the stage II cells.” The scientists working on this project believe the key mechanism that allows grape seed extract to do this is the oxidative stress it puts on cancer cells. This prompts the cancer cells to self-destruct, a process known as apoptosis or programmed cell death. But along with that, other bioactive compounds within GSE seem to work together to target the different mutations of the cancer cells. In fact, the more mutations the cancer throws at them, the more effective they become at knocking them out. This is in sharp contrast to conventional treatments, which are constantly “outsmarted” by cancer’s ability to mutate. Grape seed extract works better than chemotherapy because traditional chemo only targets a specific mutation. This is not an effective strategy considering that colorectal cancer cells can have more than 11,000 genetic mutations. So those cells can become resistant to chemotherapy but still remain completely vulnerable to the bioactive compounds in grape seed extract. It appears that GSE can be characterized as a broad-spectrum mutation-targeting chemical – in effect, a “weapon of mass destruction” against cancer cells. Got colon cancer of the worst kind? No problem. A proven natural cure for beating an enemy like colon cancer is fantastic news, to be sure. But perhaps even better is the fact that these findings may prove critical in prompting more natural therapy use for late-stage colon cancer—especially since the burn and poison methods used in allopathic medicine don’t work all that well for older folks suffering from the disease. Colorectal cancer usually hits older people thanks to the cumulative, long-term effects of lifestyle choices (bad diet, lack of exercise) plus the general toll of aging. Few cases are linked to genetics, and too few are cured, especially those that reach Stages III or IV. Early symptoms of colon cancer include constipation, blood in your stool, weight loss, and appetite loss. Older males are the most at risk, as are those who eat a diet heavy with fat, alcohol, and red meat. Smoking and a lack of exercise only make your risk factor higher. Until now, regular screenings (a colonoscopy) were the most effective way to lower your chance of dying from the disease. Most doctors recommend you get screened about once per decade once you hit age 50, and then all the way up until you’re 75. If cancer is found in your colon wall, surgery usually cures it. But if the cancer has spread, chemo tends to be the recommended option. In general, folks who die from colon cancer are the late-stage cases who’ve had the disease spread throughout their body. But incredibly, this is where grape seed extract can make the biggest difference. It works proactively, too… Grape seed extract, as you’ve probably guessed, comes from whole grape seeds. These seeds carry a high level of vitamin E, flavonoids, and linoleic acid, among other things. You’ll typically find it in capsules or tablets of 50 to 100 mg each. Little is known about the effect of long-term grape seed extract consumption. Known side effects include headache, dry scalp, and the occasional bout of dizziness or nausea. By the way, you don’t have to be diagnosed with colon cancer to start reaping the anti-cancer benefits of GSE. You can take it proactively to protect yourself against colorectal cancer and other digestive cancers. Current recommendations from nutrition experts are to supplement with standardized, whole grape seed extract. Aim for between 150 and 250 mg per day. If I had colon cancer I would certainly take at least 250 mg per day, and I’d consult a naturopath about taking higher doses.

GRU Augusta Nips Bowie State 87-86 in Overtime

BOWIE, Md. – Bowie State University men’s basketball lost a heartbreaker on Saturday afternoon in its home opener, falling 87-86 in overtime against Georgia Regents University Augusta.

Senior Ray Gatling (Oxon Hill, Md.) scored a team-high 25 points and added four assists while fellow senior Carlos Smith (Baltimore, Md.) recorded a double-double of 24 points (career-high) and 11 rebounds in the setback.

Free throws were the downfall as the Bulldogs shot 54.8 percent (17-of-31) from the charity stripe. On the flip side, GRU Augusta was slightly better, knocking down 21-of-34 (61.8 percent).

The Bulldogs struggled making shots in the first half, hitting only 38.5 percent of its shots and trailed 36-27 at halftime.

Bowie State (1-3) shot well in the final 20 minutes, hitting 16-of-26 from the field (61.5 percent), which included 4-of-7 in overtime. 

The Bulldogs went ahead in the opening minute off a dunk from Brian Freeman. A Ryan Weems (Miramar, Fla.) three pointer put the Jaguars (2-1) on the board and set the tempo for the offense. Weems ended the night with five from the arc. After missing a layup on the next GRU possession, Ronell Crockett (Anderson, S.C.) stole it back and drove the lane for a lead-taking layup.

Crockett's layup put the Jaguars ahead until the 16:58 mark. Bowie State's Gatling knotted the game at 38 with a 3-point bucket. KJ Sherrill (Cleveland, N.C.) grabbed an offensive rebound and got a tip-back basket to retake the advantage for Georgia Regents.

The Jaguars had a nine-point lead with less than five minutes to play when the Bulldog comeback began. With 14 seconds left in regulation, Carlos Smith (Baltimore, Md.) got to the free-throw line and sank both to force overtime with a 74-all score.

GRU scored first in OT with a Weems jumper, but Bowie State's Smith hit another 3-pointer for his 24th point. Weems showed off his range with 31 seconds left, hitting two treys in 13 seconds. Down by one, Keshun Sherrill (Cleveland, N.C.) hit a jumper to put him into double figures and gave Georgia Regents the lead. Gatling made it 86-all with a free throw, but Harold Doby got to the line for the Jags where he made one for the win.

Weems led GRU Augusta with 27 points and Keshun Sherrill along with D’Angelo Boyce (Annandale, Va.) chipped in 11 points each in the victory. KJ Sherrill hauled down a game-high 14 rebounds to go along with eight points, four assists a block and two steals.

The Bulldogs travel to Philly next Thursday (11/21) to take on Holy Family University in a 7 pm non-conference tilt before returning home to face Concordia (N.Y.) at 4 pm on Saturday(11/23).

Fight cancer with a high-fat diet

Scientists say you may be able to fight cancer with FATS! Ketogenic diets require you to cut most starchy carbohydrates and increase your intake of healthy fats and protein. The diet makes your body enter a state called ketosis, where it burns fat-derived chemicals called ketones in the absence of carbohydrates. The diet is so rich in fats, most people will find it satisfying. Now, if you’ve been reading this newsletter for long, you know we recommend a low-refined-carb diet for cancer prevention and treatment. And you also know we recommend healthy fats like those from coconut, avocado and nuts. Dramatic new proof of this view now comes from some studies that specifically studied the ketogenic approach. Here’s what they discovered... Continued below… Oliver was doomed to die from cancer within 8 hours -- But then he found out what to do. . .     Oliver had reached the end of the road in his seven-year fight against cancer. His doctors didn't think this 32-year-old man would live through the night. But when I talked to Oliver six years later, he was the picture of health! He got rid of his cancer completely. Yes, Oliver found the answer — his own cancer miracle. I sat down with him and his doctor and they told me an incredible story. . . a story that could help save you or someone you love from this dreaded disease. If you'd like to hear it, click here now. Since the 1920s, doctors have recommended the ketogenic type of diet for children who suffer with seizures. And many other folks have found this to be an enormously effective way to lose weight fast. Ketogenic diets can also help: Keep your body energized all day Manage or prevent Type 2 diabetes Stabilize blood sugar levels Now researchers have discovered that ketogenic diets may also have a profound impact on curbing the growth of cancer cells in your body, too. Various research groups have investigated this phenomenon. Here are just a couple of the studies that have produced intriguing results: Adrienne C. Scheck, PhD led a team of researchers at the Barrow Neurological Institute at St. Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center in Phoenix, AZ. In the study, mice with high-level malignant gliomas were either fed a standard or a ketogenic diet. Both groups received radiation therapy. Dr. Scheck’s team discovered that animals fed a ketogenic diet had an increased median survival of approximately five days relative to animals maintained on a standard diet. What’s more, nine of the 11 mice that ate a ketogenic diet and received radiation survived with no signs of tumor recurrence for over 200 days—even after switching back to standard food! In contrast, none of animals eating a standard diet survived more than 33 days. The researchers theorized that the ketogenic diet may reduce growth factor stimulation, thereby preventing tumor growth. Barrow scientists also believe that it may reduce inflammation and edema surrounding the tumors. Dr. Dominic D'Agostino, assistant professor at the University of South Florida, worked with a research team to remove carbohydrates from the diets of lab mice. They found that when mice received chemotherapy treatments, the high-fat diet helped them survive highly aggressive, metastatic cancer even better. According to a CBN News report, Dr. D'Agostino has seen similar results in people as well. "I've been in correspondence with a number of people," he said. "At least a dozen over the last year-and-a-half to two years, and all of them are still alive, despite the odds. So this is very encouraging." So what’s the secret to successfully fighting cancer with fatty foods? Curb your carbs...cut your cancer risk... and improve your health! You might be aware that just like other cells in your body, cancer cells gobble up sugar to help them metabolize. In fact, cancer cells consume glucose at a far higher rate than do healthy cells. But when glucose is lacking, other body cells can use ketones as an alternative fuel. Cancer cells CAN’T. Because ketogenic diets drastically reduce dietary sugars, cancer cells literally starve to death. Besides producing a breeding ground for cancer, high-carb diets also promote inflammation in your body. This can lead to a host of other health problems including: Alzheimer's disease Asthma Allergies Arthritis Diabetes Heart disease Osteoporosis           According to Dr. D’Agostino, the formula for a ketogenic diet should be about 75% fats, 23% protein and 2% carbohydrates. That’s a very low level of carbohydrates. And it might be helpful to clarify what kinds of foods should be included in these categories. For example: Healthy fats: avocado, butter, coconut and virgin olive oils, eggs, nuts; steer clear of manmade "trans" fats, such as shortening, margarine and hydrogenated oils Healthy proteins: grass-fed meats, mackerel, lake trout and salmon; forget about processed meats, like cold cuts and hot dogs that often have carbohydrates added to them. Allowable carbohydrates: less-starchy vegetables such as asparagus, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, carrots, lettuce, onions, turnips and spinach; avoid high-carbohydrate starchy vegetables like plantains, potatoes, pumpkin, squash, corn and peas. If any of this looks familiar, it’s because we’ve been recommending the same kind of diet for years, for people who have cancer and want to get rid of it, or who don’t have cancer and want to make sure they stay that way. The only quibble is that many renowned experts on alternative cancer treatment recommend a diet containing NO animal protein. I think this stricture is harsh and unnecessary. I lean toward more recent findings that moderate consumption of animal protein agrees with some people and disagrees with others. But there isn’t enough evidence to settle the matter. When choosing nuts, keep in mind that almonds, cashews, macadamia nuts, walnuts and other tree nuts are all high in fat. But they contain healthy fats that won’t clog your arteries or raise your cholesterol levels. What’s more, nuts are an excellent source of nutrition because they’re packed with copper, fiber, folic acid, magnesium, and vitamin E. They also provide a great source of protein and no carbohydrates. Choose nuts that are raw and unsalted for maximum benefit. If you choose to follow a ketogenic diet plan, you may find it to be effective at curbing sugar cravings…energizing your whole body…and keeping cancer cells at bay for years to come.

Seven Bulldogs Named To the 2013 All-CIAA Football Team

Two Voted to CIAA All-Rookie Team

Hampton, Va. – The Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA) announced their selections for the 2013 All-CIAA Football First and Second Teams. Seven Bowie State University football student-athletes were selected; senior offensive lineman Omar Fahnbulleh (Silver Spring, Md.), junior tight end Khari Lee (Baltimore, Md.) and junior place kicker Mario Diaz-Aviles (Washington, D.C.) were All-CIAA Offense First Team Offense selections. This marks the second time Lee has been named All-CIAA.

Junior offensive lineman Austin Hochman (Annapolis, Md.) was named to the All-CIAA Second Team along with junior running back Keith Brown (Temple Hills, Md.). Brown just finished up his best season in a Bulldogs uniform, setting a school single game rushing yards record with 230 versus Elizabeth City State and was the first BSU rusher to gain over 1,000 yards in a season since 2006.

Junior lineman Anthony McDaniel (Ft. Washington, Md.) was Bowie State’s lone first team pick on defense. Junior defensive back Curtis Pumphrey (Laurel, Md.) was a 2012 All-CIAA First Team choice, but was voted All-CIAA Second Team Defense in 2013.

Justin Nestor (Dayton, Md.) and Kevaugn Townsend (Ft. Washington, Md.) were also honored as members of the All-CIAA Rookie Team as selected by the conference Sports Information Directors.

The Bulldogs finished their season with a 5-5 overall record and 3-4 mark in CIAA competition.  Their record puts them at a third place finish in the CIAA Northern Division for the 2013 season. 

Bowie State Trumps Cheyney Wolves 87-73 to Earn First Win

CHEYNEY, Pa. – Bowie State University (1-2) picked up its first win of the season with an 87-73 victory at Cheyney University (0-1) on Wednesday night.

“I feel we did a pretty good job with our defensive pressure, especially at the start of the second half” said Bulldogs head coach Darrell Brooks. “I was not satisfied with our focus, losing the big lead and we have to do a better job maintaining focus for the full 40 minutes as a team … If we do that, I think will continue to get better as a team.”

The Bulldogs were led by junior Cameron Knox (Baltimore, Md.) with career-highs of 23 points and nine rebounds and added three assists and two steals. Senior Ray Gatling (Oxon Hill, Md.) registered 18 points before fouling out and junior Zafir Williams (Philadelphia, Pa.) added 11 points and five assists in his first game of the season. Sophomore Brian Freeman contributed a double-double of 10 points and 10 rebounds.

The Cheyney Wolves were led by Deshawn Curtis (Augusta, Ga.) with a double-double of 20 points and 10 rebounds. Calvin Brown (Trevose, Pa.) also accounted for a double-double of 10 points and 10 rebounds. Two other Wolves scored in double figures as Jerrod Johnson (Philadelphia, Pa.) and Darius Collins (Chester, Pa.) added 19 and 11 points respectively.

Cheyney jumped out to a 15-9 lead. Collins hit three three-pointers to open the scoring and Curtis netted the next six points for the Wolves. The Bulldogs battled back to tie the game at 16 on back-back field goals by Freeman and Williams. With the score tied at 27, the Bulldogs went on a 14-5 run over the final 4:15 of the first half.

Bowie State held a 41-32 advantage at halftime with Gatling pacing the Bulldogs with 13 points at the break. The Bulldogs shot 48 percent (13-27) from the field in the first half but struggled at the free throw line (12-20). 

Bowie scored the first seven points of the second half and the lead ballooned to as many as 28 before the Wolves were able to regain some composure. With11:32 remaining and the Bulldogs nursing a lead, Cheyney went on a 24-7 run to cut the deficit to 11 with just over four minutes to play. However, the Wolves would not get any closer.

Next up, the Bulldogs will host Georgia Regents University Augusta on Saturday (11/16) afternoon in their home opener at 4 pm in the A.C. Jordan Arena.

Beat cancer by eating THIS part of the olive tree

If You Want to Beat Cancer, Maybe You're Eating the Wrong Part of the Olive Tree! I love olives and I probably go through at least a jar per week. And I use a lot of olive oil, too. But it turns out the best part of the olive tree for beating cancer is something else altogether. Keep reading and I’ll explain... Continued below… Why are these doctors canceling colonoscopies? This video is not for the faint of heart. These recently discovered details are gruesome...but they change everything we know about colonoscopies. And many doctors will not reveal this information to their patients. Why? Because they can't stand to part with the $7,000 (or more) price tags. Just watch one minute of this presentation and you'll understand--canceling your next colonoscopy could be the best decision you've ever made for your health. When you're ready--visit here. If you're 50, and especially if you're over 65--you must watch this presentation. This new information regarding colonoscopies couldsave your life. It’s not that olives lack for attention. The olive branch is a symbol of peace. Olive wood is valued in cabinet-making. Olive oil lowers blood pressure and decreases the risk of heart disease. Medical journalist Dr. Morton Walker has even called the olive tree one of man’s best friends, right up there with the domesticated dog. If that sounds like too much praise, consider that people who live in the Mediterranean region have half the risk of cancer we suffer from in the U.S. … and they consume roughly 20 times more olive oil than Americans. Most observers think it’s no coincidence, and that’s one reason you (like most people concerned about good health) have probably heard about the Mediterranean diet. Olive oil certainly has many health-delivering polyphenols, even though processing the olive fruit into oil tends to remove several of the active polyphenol properties. But it’s the leaves that pack the most punch. The powdered extract of olive leaves outshines all the benefits I’ve just mentioned. Olive leaf extract is known to flat-out kill viruses and just about every other type of disease-causing organism. And besides killing microbes, the leaf extract boasts powerful anti-tumor properties. It can legitimately be seen as a cancer treatment – possibly an important one. Why olive leaf extract deserves so much buzz Medicinal use of the olive leaf dates back 6,000 years. Even Hippocrates, the “father of medicine,” was known to prescribe concentrated olive leaf extract for a multitude of conditions. The benefits of olive leaf extract include the ability to: Strengthen the immune system Prevent viral diseases like the flu Relieve sore throats, sinusitis, and pneumonia Effectively treat common complaints like arthritis, psoriasis, chronic fatigue syndrome, and even colds Change the pathway of HIV-type infections, potentially even reversing the condition Inhibit osteoporosis Help you shed fat Guard against cognitive decline That’s primarily because olive leaf extract is loaded with antioxidants that protect your body from nasty free radicals—the kind that promote disease and premature aging. Two olive leaf antioxidants worth noting are resveratrol – associated in most people’s minds with red wine -- and tyrosol. But the truly effective heroes of olive leaf extract are oleuropein and hydroxytrosol. Hydroxytrosol itself can absorb free radicals at ten times the capacity of green tea, and 400 times the ability of vitamin C. But oleuropein is the true champ. Among other things, this compound increases the formation of osteoblasts (thus lowering your risk for osteoporosis) and stimulates your thyroid, making it easier to shed unwanted pounds and skirt obesity-related health conditions. Even better, it has a drastic effect on cancer cells. Oleuropein: A well-kept secret for fighting cancer Oleuropein is the compound that creates the distinctive tangy, almost bitter flavor in extra virgin olive oils. This potent antioxidant is produced in abundance both in the leaves of the olive tree and in the olive fruit itself. Fortunately for us, a special processing technique makes it possible to extract a stable, standardized form of oleuropein—meaning you don’t have to consume large amounts of olive oil to enjoy the benefits of this substance. Scientists have discovered that olive leaf extract stuns or kills off pathogens by interrupting their activity. And with pathogens (basically disease-causing agents) stopped dead in their tracks, the immune system is able to rebuild and take over. In fact, an August 2003 issue of Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications reported extreme tumor regression in mice after receiving oleuropein for between nine and 12 days. Other studies show that oleuropein helps fight cancer formation at its earliest stages by significantly reducing free radicals. It also inhibits DNA damage that results from reactive oxygen species, i.e. free radicals. DNA damage is the first step in developing malignant cells. Of course, don’t forget that olive extract supports your immune system, further improving your body’s ability to fight diseases like cancer. Here are even more ways oleuropein helps fight cancer: It prevents inflammation, which is a key player in tumor growth It halts the production of enzymes needed by cancer cells to invade healthy tissues and spread throughout the body When it comes to breast cancer cells, oleuropein makes it harder for cancerous cells to respond to estrogen (the hormone that helps certain types of breast cancer cells thrive) These claims are supported by several laboratory and animal studies that show oleuropein reduces the rate of occurrence and spread of certain cancers. These include breast, liver, bladder, brain, head and neck, prostate, and skin cancers, along with leukemia. Easy to access with no side effects … the perfect alternative cancer treatment Another major bonus to olive leaf extract? No side effects. You can get olive leaf extract in the form of capsules or tablets from health food stores. The higher the concentration of oleuropein, the more effective it’s believed to be. Dr. Morton Walker, who wrote a book on the therapeutic benefits of olive leaf extract, recommends a concentration minimum of 6 percent. And most health professionals recommend taking one or two capsules daily that give you a total of 250 to 500 milligrams. It’s always a good idea to consult with your own natural health practitioner about dosage. And keep in mind, you shouldn’t take olive leaf extract if you’re already taking antibiotics, statin drugs, diabetic drugs, or any fungus or mold medicines. Also, never (or almost never) depend on just one cancer treatment. The great thing about alternative cancer treatments is that, with few exceptions, you can make use of a great many of them at once. Other than the pharmaceutical drugs just listed, as far as I know olive leaf extract can be combined with almost anything, with no risk of harm.
