This vegetable nixes cancer

This Vegetable Nixes Cancer – And Many Other Diseases, Too! Well, technically it’s a fruit… but most folks think of it as a vegetable, especially for cooking. And while there may be several contenders for the title of “best cancer-fighting vegetable”—a number of clinical studies suggest the tomato is at or near the top. It’s a serious threat to abnormal cell growth, aka cancer. Just take a look at what it can do for you. . . Continued below… Who's Winning The War In Your Gut? Right now there's a war raging inside your digestive tract. Billions of “good guy” beneficial bacteria (called probiotics, which literally means "for life") are defending you against an army of nasty pathogens. Your total health depends upon the good guys winning the war. But if you suffer frequent gas, bloating, constipation, and diarrhea, these are warning signs that your good guys are losing the war within. And fiber supplements, laxatives, acid-fighters -- even common probiotics -- aren't the solution. Recent research from the Mayo Clinic and Harvard Medical School suggests these temporary fixes could be putting your gut health at risk. These new studies indicate these problems are being caused by a lack of enzymes in your digestive tract. Now, there’s an easy, highly effective fix for these problems. Learn More in this FREE Special Report…… Lycopene, one of the primary nutrients in tomatoes, has been cited by a boatload of studies as a health food powerhouse. Even the National Institutes of Health acknowledge it on the National Cancer Institute website. They reference several lab culture and animal studies that indicate lycopene may have chemopreventive effects for cancers of the breast, liver, lung, prostate and skin. But despite that stunning resumé, lycopene still only gets a ‘wait and see’ nod from mainstream medicine. I will agree the evidence is not open and shut – it rarely is with foods and nutrients – but I take lycopene because mounting evidence indicates it not only battles cancer, but also addresses a range of other health concerns. So just what is it and how does it work to stamp out diseases? Nature’s free radical fighter! Lycopene is a plant nutrient that provides the deep red color in plants like tomatoes, guava, pink grapefruit and watermelon. It’s classified as an antioxidant. It falls into the category of carotenoids such as alpha- and beta-carotene. But while your body uses those to make vitamin A, it uses lycopene to provide a different benefit. One of its protective actions is to maintain the strength, thickness and fluidity of the membranes guarding your cells. These membranes monitor what enters and exits the cells. Strong membranes allow good nutrients to enter and keep toxins out. This is a vital action in helping to prevent diseases. Its antioxidant activity protects you from free radical cell damage. Everyone is bombarded by these damaged oxygen molecules every single day thanks to smog, environmental toxins and radiation from the sun. But antioxidants like lycopene help minimize the harm these cell-damaging molecules can cause. This is how scientists believe it plays a role in protecting you from diseases such as: Diabetes Heart Disease Infertility Macular degeneration Osteoporosis To give just one example, a review in the December 2010 issue ofMaturitas analyzed 12 studies relating to the effects of lycopene on cholesterol and blood pressure. They concluded that lycopene consumption is protective against heart disease for two main reasons: Investigators found that administering lycopene dosages of at least 25mg daily reduced total cholesterol by 7.55mg/dl. What’s more, LDL (“bad”) cholesterol decreased by 10.35mg/dl. All the studies examined in this article found that lycopene consumption had a significant effect on systolic blood pressure, where the average reduction was 5.60 mmHg. Besides protecting you from all the diseases mentioned above, scientific studies also suggest lycopene may offer first class cancer protection too. Lycopene gives prostate cancer cells the boot A number of laboratory and animal studies have been conducted to test the effects of lycopene on prostate cancer cells. According to the National Cancer Institute (NCI), here are some of the findings: Laboratory studies have shown: Lycopene changed the cell division cycle of prostate cancer cells—which resulted in less cancer cell growth Prostate cancer cells treated with lycopene showed lower cholesterol; this decreased cancer cell growth and caused more damage to abnormal cells Combining lycopene with cancer drugs may help stop the growth of prostate cancer cells more effectively than drugs used alone. Scientists think lycopene may block cell entry of insulin-like growth factor (IGF), which stunts cancer cell growth. In animal studies, lycopene produced remarkable results: Mice bred to develop prostate cancer that acts like human cancer were fed either lycopene beads or lycopene-rich tomato paste. Mice eating the lycopene beads had a greater decrease in prostate cancer, suggesting that lycopene supplements might provide more anti-cancer protection than tomato paste. When lycopene was combined with a substance found in dried tomatoes (FruHis), prostate cancer growth in rats slowed more than when the animals received either lycopene or FruHis alone. In a study of mice injected with human prostate cancer cells, the animals were treated with a certain chemotherapy drug, lycopene, or both at once. Those treated with chemotherapy and lycopene lived longer and had smaller tumors than those that only received chemotherapy! Now keep in mind, these protective effects were shown when tested against prostate cells alone. But these are not the only cancer cells lycopene can clobber. An epidemiological study published in the April 2008 American Journal of Clinical Nutrition followed more than 84,000 postmenopausal women for seven years. The authors concluded that consuming lycopene contributed to noticeably reduced incidence of breast cancer. Researchers found that lycopene from tomatoes also helped reducepancreatic cancer by 31 percent (nearly a third) in patients who ate the most tomatoes or tomato products compared to those who consumed the least (“Dietary Intake of Lycopene is Associated with Reduced Pancreatic Cancer Risk” – The Journal of Nutrition – March 2005). Finally, a study published in the October 2000 American Journal of Clinical Nutrition examined the impact of carotenoids on lung cancer. Investigators found lung cancer risk was reduced significantly when patients consumed higher amounts of lycopene in their diet. So -- cancer cells hate it when you eat tomatoes! And no worries if you don’t like their flavor. Lycopene supplements are available wherever supplements are sold. Kindest regards, Lee Euler, Publisher References: Attard, M. 2011. Lycopen benefits.

Your Meds Could Be Making You Fat

The effect of drugs on the body's ability to burn body fat and glucose.

Most people forget that any medication, or drug, you take affects your entire body. Some medications increase appetite and food cravings, especially for sweet foods. In contrast, other medications reduce appetite and result in weight loss. Drugs alter taste, mood, ability to digest food, ability to burn fat and ability to maintain a normal workout.

How medications affect nutrients in the body is complicated and poorly understood. For example, some drugs mimic the shape of, and are mistaken for vitamins, so they block any real vitamins from participating in metabolic reactions. Some bind to a nutrient and limit its absorption or, because a drug can reduce the time that food is in the intestine it can limit the absorption time of nutrients.

Chromium picolinate has generated a lot of interest in the strength building environment because limited research shows that moderate increases in chromium picolinate might maintain or even increase muscle mass while fat is lost. Although chromium is essential in protein and carbohydrate metabolism and thus may participate in muscle growth and function, there is no evidence that these "anabolic" effects are significant. In fact, the study that precipitated interest in this product was conducted on six college male body builders. The study has not been replicated and it's mostly media hype, not research or statistical data that supports the strong sales of this compound that is readily available in diets that are high in green, leafy vegetables.

Cancer caregiving at home? Here’s a guide from A to Z

Cancer Caregiving from A to Z By Peggy Sarlin If you're a caregiver to someone with cancer, you're forced to be a hero. Suddenly, you're the Comforter-in-Chief, consoling your loved one through hours of anxiety and pain. You're the Master Scheduler, supervising appointments, treatments, and transportation. You're Chief Financial Officer, handling insurance paperwork, while keeping the family finances from vaporizing. And that's just for starters. Cancer patients often need skilled nursing care when they come home – and you might have to provide it, even though you lack training. You may be so tired that you finally understand the phrase "bone-weary": your bones really do hurt. You may just want to fling yourself down on your bed and cry. But you've got to pull yourself together and give your loved one his medications, or monitor his symptoms, or hook up his intravenous antibiotics. If any of this sounds like you, or someone you know, I can help. . . Continued below… Breast Cancer Breakthrough BANNED! U.S. Government Blocks Release of Doctor's Life-Saving Book A mammoth discovery is wiping out most breast tumors better than anything seen yet in modern medicine. It makes surgery, radiation and chemotherapy look like something from the Dark Ages. A Cornell-educated doctor followed more than 25 years of case studies and PROVED this treatment can cure breast cancer. With the discovery I'm going to tell you about, almost every woman makes it and without losing a breast to surgery or taking any toxic chemicals. Even those with late stage cancer! You've got to include this treatment if you want to have any REAL hope of defeating breast cancer. Click here now and watch a new video presentation about this important discovery…

 

You need all the help you can get, so I want to recommend a book. I asked my friend Cindy, a home care expert, to find a truly useful book on cancer caregiving. She recommended Cancer Caregiving A-to-Z: An At-Home Guide for Patients and Families, and now that I've read it, I can see why. It's surprisingly tough to find a caregiving book that feels user-friendly. Most of them are filled with thick, technical paragraphs that give you a headache just looking at them, or they contain encouraging, but empty fluff.Cancer Caregiving A to Z is different. For one thing, it's organized in the easiest possible way, alphabetically addressing topics from Anxiety to Weight Changes. (They cheated; there is no Z.) Each section gives you crucial background information, then lists "What the Patient Can Do", "What Caregivers Can Do"; and "When to Call the Doctor." Even if you're so exhausted that you can barely open your eyes, you'll still be able to read this book. Order on Amazon, if you're interested. I'm glad I did. I found much here to interest me, since I'm the caregiver to my husband, who's recovering from a major stroke that paralyzed his left side. I need to learn as much as I can about Poor Appetite, Pressure Sores, Seizures, and lots of other topics that are well-covered here. But I'm also impressed by the plentiful advice on problems specific to cancer caregiving. For instance, suppose your family is facing chemotherapy. You can quickly read the chapter devoted to that topic for a good overview of what's coming, and to learn how patient and caregiver can make informed decisions during treatment. But, in addition, you'll find separate chapters on each of chemotherapy's most common side effects, with expert advice to help ease their difficulties. When should you call the doctor if your loved one is vomiting? What kind of grooming techniques will help you minimize hair loss? What is the optimum time for giving pain medications to a patient with mouth sores? This book's straightforward, easy-to-find answers could make all the difference for your loved one. As the introduction points out, cancer patients are now living longer, which is good news indeed. But patients are receiving treatments in outpatient settings that used to be performed in a hospital. And often they get discharged early from the hospital, while still suffering from the side effects of the treatment. These policies force patients to come home in pain and discomfort, putting tremendous demands upon their caregivers. Even if you're already acting as a skilled nurse, home health aide, housekeeper, cook, and chauffeur, you can't neglect your crucial role of medical researcher. Cancer Caregiving A to Z will help to make that role a bit easier, and caregiving heroes need all the help they can get. Click here to order the book from Amazon.
