Post-Game Interview

WASHINGTON, DC – After surrendering a goal in the opening minutes of action, the University of the District of Columbia men's soccer team scored four unanswered goals for a convincing, 4-1 season-opening win against Holy Family on a beautiful Friday afternoon in the nation's capital.

Under head coach Matt Thompson, UDC is 3-0 in season-opening games, as the Firebirds begin the season 1-0 and the Tigers fall to 0-1.

Four different Firebirds tallied goals, including freshman forward Felix Angerer (Business Administration – Bayreuth, Germany/Graj Minster Gymnasium) who registered a goal and two assists. Fellow freshman forward Sam Rowden (Psychology – Lincoln, England/Saint Peter Saint Paul Catholic) was credited with a goal and an assist as well.

Sophomore co-captain Louis Connor earned the win in goal in his debut for UDC with four saves and one goal allowed. HFU's Nick Aglira made five stops while allowing four goals in the loss.

Holy Family's Ahmed Elgayar took the first shot of the game right around the three-minute mark. Elgayar's shot was stopped by Connor, only to trickle right to the feet of Justin Massaro, who hammered the ball in from only five yards out for the game's first goal.

District of Columbia responded a little over seven minutes later when sophomore Elio Hernandez(Health – Germantown, MD/Northwest HS) finished off a pretty pass by Angerer immediately following a cross sent into the box by senior Bakary Coulibaly (Electrical Engineering – Hyattsville, MD/La Lumiere HS).

The Firebirds struck again less than two minutes later when Rowden rocketed a shot from about 20 yards out following a long outlet pass by Connor and through ball by Angerer.

With a little over 10 minutes left to play before halftime, Angerer netted the first goal of his career when he scored on his own rebound of a penalty kick. Angerer's goal sent the Firebirds into halftime with a comfortable, 3-1 lead.

The Firebirds sat on their 3-1 lead for much of the second half as the Tigers owned a 6-3 shot advantage in that closing period. Still, it was only UDC which netted a second half goal as the speedy junior reserve Byron Brown (Accounting – Silver Spring, MD/Pocono Mountain HS) entered the game late and almost immediately scored a breakaway goal to make it 4-1.

Next up for UDC is another home game on Sunday at 1 p.m. vs. Goldey-Beacom College. The last time these two schools met was Thompson's first game as head coach of the Firebirds, and UDC won 1-0 on September 2^nd, 2011.

Stop this rogue protein before it kills you

Control This 'Rogue Protein' Today... Or Risk Disease and Early Death     There's been a quiet revolution going on...     During the past 20 years or so, scientists have gained new understanding in the way our immune system works — how it guards us from invading microbes and wild uncontrolled cancer cell growth. Some of that research has yielded an exciting, highly effective substance derived from citrus — but not from the fruit! It's from the part most of us throw away.     This substance from oranges and grapefruit stops a "rogue protein" that most people don't know about — but that may be a major cause of deaths by cancer, heart disease, stroke and more. Your level of this rogue protein is probably a more important health marker than cholesterol and many other biomarkers that doctors and patients fret about. And the citrus breakthrough is the only known substance that helps control it.     It's not often you find a plant-based substance that offers the universal benefit and breakthrough potential of the one I'm going to talk about today... Continued below... The Secret Cure For High Blood Pressure     If you're struggling with your blood pressure, this news is going to make your day:     A German scientist has discovered that eating certain foods causes your body to retain water, which increases the volume of fluid in your circulatory system (commonly called "bloating"), thus raising the pressure in your blood vessels.     By abstaining from these foods (or cutting back), your body sheds water and the "bloat," which dramatically reduces blood pressure.     So, what are these "high blood pressure foods" you should avoid?     If you said "salty" or "fatty" … you're wrong.     Hold on to your hat — because the foods that raise blood pressure the most are some of the very foods that doctors say we should eat more of as part of a "heart-healthy, low-fat diet."     Click the link below to read how to finally get your blood pressure under control — without drugs! The Secret Cure For High Blood Pressure     This novel compound offers proven properties in blocking cancer cell aggregation, adhesion, and metastasis. And a mounting stack of evidence shows it not only protects against cancer but also a host of other diseases.     A major reason cancer is so deadly is its tendency to metastasize to other sites throughout your body. The majority of cancer deaths come from tumor cells that enter your blood and lymphatic systems and hitch a ride to your lungs, liver, bones, and elsewhere.     Till recently there's been little hope of an effective way to prevent cancers from metastasizing.     Fortunately, clinical research now shows that a food supplement called Modified Citrus Pectin (MCP) can limit tumors from spreading in men with advanced prostate cancer.1 Other research indicates it's effective against other types of cancer as well. However, please take heed: some brands of MCP are better than others, so going on the net and ordering the cheapest one is not a smart move (it seldom is for any supplement).     But before we discuss that, let's pause for a moment and talk about that "rogue protein." It's called galectin-3… A serious troublemaker     Mounting research links elevated levels of the rogue molecule to not just cancer but many other diseases, too.     At this point, the general public knows little about galectin-3, but epidemiology experts expect a whole new disease classification of "Elevated Galectin-3 Conditions" to emerge.     Published research shows that advanced cancer, chronic inflammation, organ and tissue remodeling and fibrosis all share a common culprit — excessive galectin-3. (Tissue remodeling is a repair response to injury. Fibrosis is abnormal tissue remodeling that creates excessive scar tissue within organs, causing loss of function.)     So, what do we know about this rogue protein troublemaker? More than you might think…     Galectin-3 is a beta-galactoside binding protein involved in many cellular processes. It occurs naturally in your body in small amounts. But real trouble emerges when your levels become elevated, triggering life-threatening diseases.     The role of galectin-3 in metastatic cancer has been well documented over the past couple of decades.     But scientists now know that galectin-3 is directly linked to many other serious diseases — heart attack, congestive heart failure, strokes, kidney disease, inflammation, and mortality from all causes.     A ten-year study of mortality from all causes was completed in August 2011 and involved 8,000 people. It showed that high levels of galectin-3 tripled all-cause mortality.2 That makes galectin-3 a shocking and important risk factor — more so than cholesterol, in my opinion. There's only one proven galectin-3 blocker     The only proven natural galectin-3 blocker is Modified Citrus Pectin (MCP)3 — an advanced form of citrus, derived from citrus pith — the white stuff that comes between the skin and the juicy part of the fruit you like to eat. The citrus pith is modified to a specific molecular weight and structure that allows the body to absorb it. (Note: Big Pharma is planning synthetic versions also.)     This unique structure is what gives MCP its therapeutic qualities. Eating unmodified citrus protein will not be helpful because the molecules are too large for the body to absorb.     Pectin is abundant in oranges, lemons and grapefruits, as well as apples, guavas, quince, plums and gooseberries.     The problem is that its highly branched molecules don't dissolve in liquid. In modified form, it's more easily absorbed by your digestive tract, moves into your bloodstream quickly, and once there it targets galectin-3 molecules throughout your body.     Published research has demonstrated that MCP is the only natural inhibitor of galectin-3 that controls it by binding and blocking its far-ranging harmful effects. MCP and cancer progression     Galectin-3 is over-expressed on the surface of certain cancer cells. It's 'sticky', so it allows cancer cells to accumulate before disbursing throughout your circulatory system. It's now a proven scientific fact that galectin-3s are highly capable of promoting cancer progression and metastasis.     Studies consistently show the clinical value of binding, blocking and neutralizing your circulating levels of galectin-3, which MCP is highly capable of doing.     MCP is especially useful in preventing and treating metastatic cancer — especially solid tumors such as melanoma, and prostate, colon and breast cancers.     One of the most promising studies to date shows that MCP inhibits prostate cancer metastasis. It was published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute in 1995.     The researchers injected rats with human prostate cancer cells and divided them into four groups.     The control group received water only, and the remaining groups received water with varying concentrations of MCP. One month later, only 50 percent of the rats receiving MCP had any metastasis. But 94 percent of those fed water with no MCP had metastasis to their lungs.4 Works in humans, too     Following up on these exciting results in 1999, oncologist Dr. Stephen Strum and colleagues showed that MCP had positive effects on patients suffering from advanced prostate cancer.5     Five out of seven men with advanced prostate cancer (unable to do conventional treatment) responded positively to taking MCP daily for three months or more.6 This was confirmed using Prostate Specific Antigen Doubling Time (PSADT), which measures how fast blood levels of PSA rise. Since PSA is a marker for cancer progression or recurrence, longer PSA doubling times mean slower disease progression, which is good. Granted, it's a small observational study…     But another Phase II clinical trial showed that MCP increased the PSA doubling time in eight of the ten men whose prostate cancer had returned after conventional treatment. They took MCP for 12 months.7 This study used a particular brand of MCP, Pectasol-C®. This is the brand we recommend because it's most extensively backed by clinical research.     Other animal studies show MCP to be effective against breast, skin and liver cancers, as well as prostate cancer.8 Cancer was much less likely to spread to the lungs in mice who got MCP.     Another animal study started with melanoma cells. Those receiving MCP had notably fewer tumors spread to their lungs. When the MCP rats did get lung tumors, they were much smaller than the untreated mice.9     Scientists believe MCP makes it tough for cancer cells to break away from the main tumor, which keeps it from aggregating and spreading.     MCP also induced apoptosis (natural cell death) in various types of cancer. And it may activate T, B and NK immune system cells and induce cell death in leukemia cells.     Incidentally, if you do opt for conventional chemotherapy, you'll get dramatically better results if you use MCP as a adjunct therapy.10,11 MCP is particularly valuable for patients who want to combine alternatives with conventional treatments. Helps fight heart disease and more     MCP research is ongoing for conditions other than cancer. Here are the high points: Cardiovascular disease. Galectin-3 is linked to cardiac injury, progression to heart failure, and cardiac fibrosis. Lowering galectin-3 levels reduces fibrosis and improves outcomes.12 Inflammation is the hallmark of arteriosclerosis and galectin-3 levels contribute to inflammation. Diabetes and metabolic syndrome. Controlling your galectin-3 levels may help reduce inflammation associated with type II diabetes, metabolic disease, and insulin resistance. Fibrosis. Galectin-3 plays a central role in promoting fibrosis, and is even able to activate 'resting' fibroblasts into more active ones.13 MCP may be vital in halting that damage. Rheumatoid Arthritis. Study showed reducing galectin-3 levels also reduced arthritis and decreased pro-inflammatory cytokines.14 Inflammatory GI Conditions. MCP reduces inflammation in your gut mucosa, which can help with ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, Celiac disease, and gluten sensitivity.15 Liver Disease. High galectin-3 levels are linked strongly to liver fibrosis. MCP can be used as a preventive, and also post-disease, and for various types of hepatitis. Asthma. In one study, mice with lower levels of galectin-3 showed improvement in important markers. Kidney disease. Lowering galectin-3 levels was linked to a decrease in kidney fibrosis, and other signs of organ damage. It's even a potent detox agent     Heavy metals can seriously aggravate or initiate health problems. Chelation therapy has traditionally used chemicals that bind to heavy metals like lead and mercury and usher them out of your body. But intravenous chelatoin needs a clinical setting, requires a catheter in your arm, and may involve chemical side effects.     In contrast, oral MCP has been shown to bind toxins and release them via your urine.     In a 2006 study, eight healthy people were given 15 grams of MCP a day for five days, and 20 grams on day 6. Twenty-four hour urine samples were gathered on days one and six, and analyzed for toxin and nutrient excretion.     Here's what the study found… Significant increases in excretion of arsenic, mercury, cadmium, and lead between day one and day six. 150% increase in cadmium excretion. 560% increase in lead excretion. Essential mineral excretion (calcium, zinc, and magnesium) did not increase, showing that MCP didn't deplete these nutrients. This is important because conventional chelation removes healthy minerals along with toxic heavy metals.     In one case study, five patients with different diseases were each given the PectaSol-C®form of for seven months. Each experienced a decreased (average 74%) heavy metal burden, which was believed to play a key role in their recovery. FDA-approved test measures levels of galectin-3     There's now a very affordable galectin-3 blood test, covered by most insurance plans. It's approved for measuring cardiovascular disease risk and also as a biomarker for metastatic cancer. Levels above 15 ng/ml are considered high risk.     Unlike the biomarker C-reactive protein (CRP) which only indicates you have inflammation, elevated galectin-3 is recognized as an active trouble-making biomarker. And there's actually something you can do about it… take MCP.     Looking for a lab? Health Diagnostics Laboratory offers galectin-3 testing as part of its total cardiovascular panel… 804-343-2718 or www.myhdl.com. Powder or Capsules?     MCP is available in powdered and capsule form. It's best taken on an empty stomach — 30 minutes before eating, or 1 hour after.     Dosage varies by whether you're taking it at a therapeutic or maintenance level.     It's important to know that not all MCP products are made alike. The only clinically tested and researched MCP is PectaSol-C®, made by EcoNugenics.     Therapeutic: For those with concerns about cancer, cardiovascular disease, heavy metal toxicity, immune issues, or high circulating galectin-3 levels… 15 grams/day (a 5-gram scoop of powder 3x/day — or 6 capsules 3x/day).     Maintenance: For long-term health maintenance… 5 grams/day (5 gram scoop of powder once/day — or 6 capsules per day).     MCP is available through various venders online, or from these… In Canada — Promedics, www.promedics.ca In USA — EcoNugenics, Inc., www.PectinForHealth.com     I consider MCP one of the most promising supplements for cancer, fibrosis and so much else. Yet so few people know about it. So please, do pass this on to friends and loved ones. Footnotes: 1Azemar M, Hildenbrand B, Haering B, Heim ME, Unger C.

Doctors who prescribe chemo don't tell you this

If you think cancer "experts" are hiding something...you're right!     Cancer researchers pride themselves on making great strides toward finding the causes and treatments for cancer.     And as they're supposed to in professional medical journals, they publish details about the problems they're addressing… the methodologies they use… the type of people who take part in the studies… the conclusions they reach…     Or do they? Continued below... Drink This and Cancer Comes Pouring Out of Your Body     "If I could pick only one treatment to cure my cancer, this would be it," says a top expert on alternative cancer treatments.     Research conducted by a scientist at the Detroit Institute of Cancer Research showed this is one of the world's most powerful cancer cures. Even the mainstream National Cancer Institute confirmed that this do-it-yourself treatment kills cancer cells. Then they buried the research.     Personally, I've been writing about cancer treatments for almost seven years. Out of nearly 400 that I've investigated, I haven't found an at-home treatment that's better.     It worked for Robert, age 54, who had late stage stomach cancer. His doctors told him he didn't have chance. The most they could do was buy him a little time, using four aggressive chemotherapy drugs PLUS radiation — a deadly, toxic, last-ditch treatment.     INSTEAD Robert used this non-toxic liquid and was completely cancer-free within months. The amazed doctor was forced to admit Robert's cancer was "in remission." Two years later, he was still cancer-free.     Click the link below to watch an important video presentation about this discovery... Click here and watch an important video presentation about this discovery.     When it comes to investigating chemotherapy treatments, one group of researchers doesn't think so.     This new finding comes from Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto, Canada. A team led by Ian F. Tannock, MD, FRCPC, PhD, scoured 164 journal articles published over 16 years and made this startling discovery: The researchers were hiding information about chemotherapy drug side effects!     The group published their results on Jan. 9, 2013 on the Annals of Oncology website. According to their research, not even one-third of reports on clinical trials for breast cancer chemotherapy medications contained detailed data on side effects and adverse drug events.     I don't know about you… but I don't believe for one second that any chemo cocktail could have been THAT good!     Not only were these breast cancer drug researchers underreporting side effects—but they also went out of their way to report more positive treatment outcomes.     In other words, these studies aren't valid scientific reports. They're disguised sales pieces for chemo drugs.     Think about what this means for cancer doctors and their patients… Did someone call for a spin doctor?     Doctors are busy, just like most people. To stay current on the latest research, they don't read entire journal articles. They tend to read abstracts - brief summaries provided at the top of the articles -- to get the gist of the findings.     Dr. Tannock's group found that two-thirds of the drug studies they examined don't mention serious side effects in these summaries. This held true not only for chemotherapy studies but for cancer studies involving surgery and radiation as well.     The Canadian researchers found similar omissions in the discussion sections and results tables.     This means most doctors prescribing treatments are not aware of the full range of potential side effects. (Actually, the problem goes well beyond cancer drugs. Doctors spend little time educating patients about side effects for ANY prescription drug. It's up to you to find out for yourself.) The corrupt world of peer-reviewed journals     Dr. Tannock told Reuters about another disturbing trend they noticed in the studies they reviewed: Researchers for these breast cancer drug studies had a tendency to change the definition of success.     Specifically, Dr. Tannock said if a treatment didn't produce stellar results, some researchers just choose a different set of results to report—regardless of whether the study was designed to test them.     Just so we're clear… drug companies often provide the money to study the cancer concoctions they intend to market. So researchers are under pressure to produce glowing reports, or risk seeing research dollars disappear. Some may try to hang on to their virginity, but it seems the drug companies have no trouble finding scientists for sale.     I recently had a behind-the-scenes look at this world of peer-reviewed published research. Sometimes a big-name doctor's name is listed among the authors even though he or she didn't really do anything. A well-known doctor can supplement his income by lending his name to companies trying to get a scientific seal of approval on their products.     And lesser known, working scientists want their studies published in prestigious journals. If they frame their research in a positive light, it increases their chances for publication, additional grants, career promotion and tenure.     But this win-win deal for drug companies and the researchers who do their bidding is a sure loser for cancer patients who are kept in the dark about drug side effects. One rotten egg that made it to market…     You've probably heard drug commercials that spend maybe 55 seconds describing the benefits—then in the last five seconds a fast-talking motor-mouth comes on, the volume is turned down, and they rattle off a quick list of warnings and side effects.     These are just the dangers that are so common they feel required to tell you about them. Imagine how long the commercial would be if they included unreported side effects!     The practice of underreporting bad effects helps explain how the drug Avastin® could have made its way to pharmacies.     In February 2008, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) gave an accelerated approval to use Avastin in combination with the cancer drug paclitaxel to treat metastatic breast cancer.     Adding Avastin supposedly prevented angiogenesis -- blood vessels growing on tumors to nourish them.     An FDA news release said the speedy approval was based on promising results from one study that suggested Avastin could extend a cancer patient's life.     Avastin's maker, Genentech, completed two additional clinical trials after the drug was approved and submitted data from those studies to the FDA. What did these results show? Minimal effect on tumor growth No evidence that patients lived any longer No indication that quality of life improved when compared to taking standard chemotherapy     In the end, the agency revoked Avastin's approval for breast cancer treatment less than three years after approving it for that use.     FDA Commissioner Dr. Margaret A. Hamburg said, "After reviewing the available studies it is clear that women who take Avastin for metastatic breast cancer risk potentially life-threatening side effects without proof that the use of Avastin will provide a benefit in terms of delay in tumor growth that would justify those risks."     And get a load of the side effects some women experienced during the time the drug was approved for use as a breast cancer treatment… Bleeding and hemorrhaging Heart attack and heart failure High blood pressure (severe) Perforations in the nose, stomach, intestines and other body parts     Before you think warm and fuzzy thoughts about the agency revoking its use as breast cancer treatment—remember it's still on the market to treat other cancers.     What's more, Dr. Hamburg actually invited Avastin's drugmaker to TRY AGAIN stating, "I encourage Genentech to consider additional studies to identify if there are select subgroups of women suffering from breast cancer who might benefit from this drug."

Shocked doctors forced to admit cancer cure works

Shocked Doctors Forced to Eat Crow . . .after patients use The 31-Day Home Cancer Cure

“Congratulations! You're cancer free!” declared Rev. Cobus Rudolph's doctor after Rev. Rudolph cured his stage four colon cancer at home “You’re a miracle from God!” said Richard Wiebe's doctor after he cured his terminal brain cancer at home “Are you the terminal patient I saw two months ago? You look great!” remarked Kevin Irish's doctor after Kevin cured his stage four lung cancer at home “Well, I know the cancer is here somewhere” said Frank Woll's doctor while looking through a magnifying glass. But Frank's deadly skin cancer was gone—totally GONE!—after he cured his cancer at home      You’re invited to receive a free special report with all the details on these amazing cures that happened thanks to the the secrets of the 31-Day Home Cancer Cure.      You can see the proof for yourself, presented by Ty Bollinger, one of America’s top experts on alternative cancer treatments. In the free video, Ty tells you about the 31-Day Home Cancer Cure so that you won’t have to watch someone you love die in misery from outdated cancer treatments.      Ty knows exactly what’s it’s like to go through that, because he lost seven close family members to cancer, including his mom and dad. When his mother passed away, it was the last straw. He set out to find a way to beat cancer. He invested 7 years in learning about the treatments that really work. And now he wants to share what he learned with you in this free special report (By the way, you don’t have to give us your email address or anything else.).      If a doctor told you the important information that’s in this video, he’d lose his license and might even go to jail. Ty isn’t a doctor and he doesn’t have that problem. He's free to tell you the truth.      He also doesn’t sell the treatments or make money off of them – unlike establishment doctors who will bill you as much as $850,000 for chemotherapy, radiation and surgery. After they’ve taken your money, you’re almost sure to die anyway -- because only two out of 100 cancer patients survive once the cancer has spread from where it first started.      That's why it makes sense to at least consider the proven alternatives Ty has uncovered. I'm not asking you to believe it yet – first take a look at the proof.      The 31-Day Home Cancer Cure costs so little that just about anybody can afford it – even uninsured patients on Medicaid. No wonder the cancer industry hates it!      The 31-Day Home Cancer Cure could save you or a loved one from dying an early death from cancer. There IS a better way to beat cancer than suffering through the misery of chemo and radiation.

Is this health food really a poison?

Could This Popular Health Food be Secretly Poisoning Your Diet?     There's a lot of controversy over whether eating soy is outright dangerous, especially for males. For one thing, it's rich in phytoestrogens, which are plant estrogens that are similar to but not identical to human estrogens. Estrogens are female hormones. Generally speaking, you don’t want to eat them if you're a male.     As to whether phytoestrogens are good for you, the answer you get depends on who you ask. [Grammarians: Please don't write to tell me I should have said "whom".] It's very confusing and hard to figure out whether soy is healthy or toxic. We made up our minds to find out what's what, and my research staff came up with some answers that are going to surprise you. . . Continued below... Why Most Health Foods are a Waste of Money By Lee Euler     You can take vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants by the handful and stillsuffer poor health. Now we know why. Our diets lack a vital food -- a type of nutrient that even alternative doctors don’t know about. Thanks to this supplement, a mother’s lifelong migraines disappeared, and a man with "terminal" kidney cancer was alive 15 years later. He’s just one of thousands of cancer patients who have taken this supplement and seen remarkable results.     There’s more: It’s one of the most popular pain relievers in Germany, used by that country’s Olympic team to help athletes get rid of pain and accelerate healing from sports injuries. It outperforms prescription blood clot drugs — in my opinion, patients should take this supplement instead of blood-thinning drugs like warfarin. And it even helps 9 out of 10 autistic children. The mother of a 7-year-old autistic child starting giving him this supplement after reading my Special Report The Missing Ingredient — and he started speaking after having been nonverbal his whole life!     How can ONE supplement possibly do all this? Just ask yourself: What if you were getting NO vitamins in your diet? You’d be very sick. This nutrient is just as important and you’re getting almost none. Read more here about The Missing Ingredient, and consider trying it yourself.     Some authorities believe soy plays no role in cancer, and particularly hormone-related cancers (like estrogen-receptor positive breast cancer, uterine cancer, or ovarian cancer). Others point to animal studies suggesting that genistein, a main isoflavone in soy, actually promoted breast cancer growth.     Then along came further research showing that rats and mice metabolize phytoestrogens like genistein differently than humans, so the whole question is up in the air again.     Scientists in the past have said eating soy actually protects you from diseases like cancer, but most of those studies have been observational. In other words, researchers collect diet information from individuals and follow them for several years to see who develops cancer and who doesn't.     But as with any observational study, it could be that the connection between lower cancer risk and soy is due to an overlooked factor related to eating soy, particularly since people who eat soy might be more likely to exercise and eat more vegetables. The exercise and all the other healthy foods that soy eaters eat might offset the bad effects (if any) of eating soy.     Observational studies are prone to error because they don't get at cause and effect. All they can do is point out that "people who have characteristic X also tend to have characteristic Y." A classic example occurred decades ago when a big observational study seemed to indicate that people who drink coffee are more likely to get cancer and heart disease. It turned out it wasn't the coffee. Heavy coffee drinkers were more likely to smoke, and it was smoking that brought on the diseases. One study says don't, others say do…     We all know prostate cancer is serious business, particularly in the U.S. where one in six men will develop the disease during his lifetime. Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in American men, eclipsed only by lung cancer.     For years, men with prostate cancer or even the likelihood of developing prostate cancer have been told to eat soy products. Part of that thinking comes from laboratory studies that show soy contains substances with anti-cancer properties, including isoflavones.     Another part of the pro-soy logic stems from what's been observed in Asia, where soy is a constant in the diet starting at birth. Prostate cancer rates there are much lower than in the U.S., though it does raise the question of whether soy consumption early in life plays a role or whether it's possible to begin a healthy soy regimen at a later age. It also raises the same questions as any observational study: Asians do a lot of things differently than Americans. How do we know it's soy that causes them to enjoy lower prostate cancer rates?     The thing is, there's no hard evidence that soy keeps prostate cancer at bay. And now there's a new study that throws even more cold water on the idea. According to Dr. Maarten Bosland, professor of pathology at the University of Illinois at Chicago and lead researcher in a recent soy study, daily consumption of soy after surgery for prostate cancer "does not reduce the risk of recurrence."     The study led by Bosland and published in the July 10 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association, included over 150 men with an increased risk of prostate cancer. Each had undergone a radical prostatectomy, which didn't remove all the cancer cells.     Each of the men was assigned to drink either a powdered soy protein drink or a placebo beverage every day for two years. At the end of the study, no significant difference between the two groups could be found in terms of cancer recurrence. Just over a quarter of the men in each group had prostate cancer recurrence within two years.     Dr. Bosland says soy is still safe to take and that it has no adverse side effects, but some studies say otherwise. According to other authoritative figures, like Dr. Anthony D'Amico, chief of radiation oncology at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, soy supplementation brings no harm and may offer a benefit. Dr. D'Amico advises against using the recent study—which he says was quite small—as evidence that people should stop eating soy for health benefits. The multiple hazards of soy consumption     Another unsolved puzzle is whether soy foods play a different role in the body than do soy supplements. Some say straight soy beats supplements any day, while others point to the shocking prevalence of GMO soy. And if you follow anything GMO-related, you know that it never leads to good news or healthy outcomes. Several reports say as much as 99 percent of soy has been genetically modified, and most soybean plants are treated with a high level of pesticides.     Does that mean organic soy is the way to go? Possibly, but here are some more soy-related facts that should give you pause. Soy is high in something called phytic acid, which blocks the absorption of minerals like calcium and magnesium. That's one reason third-world countries with grain- and legume-based diets (and thus high phytic acid levels) tend to have widespread mineral deficiencies. Soybeans have toxins that are so powerful, they're not destroyed during cooking. Many of the toxins are known as enzyme inhibitors, which complicate your ability to digest protein. In one study, animals that consumed enzyme inhibitors ended up developing pancreatic problems, including pancreatic cancer. Yikes! Soy products tend to have higher-than-normal levels of aluminum, which is known to have negative health effects. It comes from aluminum tanks where the beans are washed and heat-treated. I don't think this is a major worry, but I toss it out there for your consideration.     This brings us back to the Asia question, and why Asian cultures have been safely consuming soy for thousands of years. One theory is that they only began soy consumption after they figured out how to ferment it; before that, they avoided soybeans because of the toxins.     Fermentation makes the nutrients in soy more available on a biological level while destroying their natural toxins. Fermented soy foods include natto, miso, and tempeh. But the downside to those foods is that they're high in sodium. Again, I don't feel this is a major worry, but if you think you're salt sensitive, you need to know it.     The evidence I've seen for fermented soy is highly favorable. I see it as healthy food to eat, with benefits in treating and preventing a variety of diseases including cancer and heart disease. For more on this, check out our Issue #88. When in doubt, don't eat it     Other than fermented, soy is a minefield. I don't eat it — in defiance of my integrative doctor, a smart man who continues to believe soy is a healthy food. It's just about impossible to reach any definite conclusions about it. That's enough reason to avoid it.

Damon Wilson Gains Valuable Experience as NFL's St. Louis Rams Intern

ST. LOUIS, MO. – Bowie State Head Football Coach Damon Wilson recently completed a summer internship with St. Louis Rams as part of the Bill Walsh NFL Minority Coaching Fellowship. The annual program is administered by the NFL Management Council and NFL Player Engagement.

The program's objective is to use NFL Clubs’ training camps, offseason workout program and minicamps to give talented minority coaches opportunities to observe, participate, gain experience and ultimately gain a full-time NFL coaching position.

“The Rams are a first class organization and Coach Fisher and his staff really continued to improve my development as a Head coach and the CEO of Bowie State University football program”, said Wilson.

During his internship with the Rams, Wilson had the opportunity to participate in all of the offensive/Defensive and Special teams meetings along with personnel meetings. Wilson primarily worked with Coach Ben Sirmans (Running Backs) and Coach Brian Schottenheimer (Offensive Coordinator).  “Coach Schottenheimer along with his offensive staff have a wealth of knowledge and have an excellent way of teaching their players”, stated Wilson.

Designed as a vocational tool to increase the number of full-time NFL minority coaches, all 32 NFL Clubs participate in the program on an annual basis. Specific aspects of the program (including hiring, salary and coaching duties) are administered on a Club-by-Club basis.  No elements of the Fellowship are mandated to the Clubs by the League office, but several “best practices” have been strongly recommended to the Club, including: Participants are hired for the duration of training camp, including all pre-season games. Clubs are encouraged to hire a minimum of four (4) participants.

As part of the programs’ evolution, in 2012 the NFL announced the formation of the Bill Walsh Minority Coaching Fellowship Advisory Council, comprised of a distinguished group of NFL coaches and general managers.

“I believe this was the best possible organization for me to land an internship with because of the youth on their roster and the experience of the coaching staff, said Wilson. “The Rams have one of the youngest rosters in the NFL, which for me was great because it reminded me of a college atmosphere at practice and in meetings.  I was also afforded the opportunity to meet with the Pro and College scouting department.  This was great because it gave me the opportunity to confirm that what we are teaching and telling our student-athletes at Bowie State University is in line with what’s being taught at the highest level.  We are very fortunate with graduating our players and to have two players from BSU in the last four years remain on NFL rosters.  In order to continue to prepare our players for the possible opportunity to play at the highest level, I believe that my coaching staff and I must take advantage of every opportunity that we receive to experience an internship like this one.”
