VIRGINIA UNION HANDS BOWIE STATE A 37-13 SETBACK

(Sponsor US Sports Network)

RICHMOND, Va. – Virginia Union University used a 16 point second quarter to gain all the momentum needed and rolled to a 37-13 victory over Bowie State University. The win improves Virginia Union’s record to 4-4 overall (2-3 CIAA) but drops Bowie State’s record to 4-4 overall (2-3 CIAA).

Redshirt quarterback Jared Johnston led the Bowie State offense with 98 passing yards, completing 9-of-19 passes (one interception) before being pulled in the third quarter. Redshirt sophomore Keith Brown was Bowie State’s top rusher with 68 yards on 18 carries and junior Corwin Acker added 60 rushing yards on 12 carries. Redshirt junior Delante White paced the Bulldogs defense with eight tackles in the loss. Another bright spot for Bowie State was the play of junior Anthony Gary who recorded two interceptions, two pass breakups and collected five tackles.

The Bowie State defense surrendered 250 total yards in the first half, but only allowed Virginia Union 71 total yards in the second half.

“We had the ball in red zone several times off defensive turnovers but were unable to take advantage of the opportunities”, said Bowie State head coach Damon Wilson.

Virginia Union was led offensively by quarterback Kenneth Graham with 112 passing yards, completing 13-of-30 but was intercepted three times. Jerrell Washington led the Panthers in rushing with 73 yards on 19 carries. The Panthers defense was led by Obi Ezemma with a game-high nine tackles and Dominique Anderson added eight total tackles and a fumble return (36 yards) for a touchdown.

Virginia Union took the opening possession of the game 72 yards (11 plays) that ended with a Kenneth Graham 1-yard quarterback sneak for six points. Stephen Valasquez added the extra point for a Panthers 7-0 lead at the 10 minutes mark of the first quarter.

Virginia Union used a little trickery to keep their second possession of the game alive following a fake punt by Joe Reynosa. VUU’s Richard Rodwell dove in for a 1-yard touchdown with 47 seconds left in the period, increasing the Panthers lead to 14-0.

Bulldogs redshirt sophomore quarterback Jared Johnston dodged and weaved 11 yards for Bowie State’s first points of the afternoon. Sophomore Mario Diaz-Aviles added the extra point, cutting the deficit to 14-7 at the 14:31 mark of the second quarter.

Corwin Acker pretty much walked in from 8-yards out with 8:52 left in the second to pull within one at 14-13. The score was setup by an interception and 15 yard return by Gary.

Virginia Union’s Terrence Malone scored on 3-yard run and the Valasquez extra point pushed the Panthers lead to 21-13 with 5:11 remaining in the first half. The Panthers scoring drive was setup after a 15-yard personal foul against Bowie State senior Bekwele Amadi. Amadi was ejected and Virginia Union took full advantage from that point. Kenneth Graham picked off a Johnston pass and returned it 36 yards for a Panthers touchdown. The point after attempt was no good, but the Panthers lead grew to 27-13.

A Valasquez 20 yard field goal with two ticks left on the Hovey Field clock, extending the Virginia Union lead to 30-13 heading into halftime.

Virginia Union’s Anderson recovered a Tyrae Reid, Jr. fumble and rumbled 36 yards to give the Panthers a comfortable 37-13 lead with 3:16 left in the third quarter.

BSU’s Gary picked off his second pass of the afternoon at the Virginia Union 22 yard line and returned it to the Panthers 3-yard line at the 1:11 mark of the third. However, the Panthers defense stopped the Bulldogs threat, as Andre Kates intercepted the Reid pass in the end zone for a touchback to begin the fourth quarter.

Bulldogs sophomore Olademeji Layeni recovered a Virginia Union fumble at the Panthers 21-yard line. Unfortunately, Bowie State came up empty again, turning the ball over to the Panthers on downs. Layeni ended the afternoon as Bowie State’s second leading tackler with seven to go along with two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries.

The Bulldogs travel to Lincoln University of Pennsylvania next Saturday (October 27^th) to face the Lions in a 1:30 pm Homecoming game. Lincoln (PA) suffered a road loss as well, falling 23-3 to Virginia State.

This cancer miracle may be a bad idea

Is This Famous Cancer "Miracle" a Dud?

    What can make your breath smell better… bleach wood pulp… disinfect drinking water… and clobber cancer cells too?

    That sounds like a tall order for ANYTHING to accomplish! But many folks are convinced that the compound chlorine dioxide can do all this—and even MORE!

    This chemical compound is made of one chlorine ion bound to two ions of oxygen. It has a type of magnetism that helps it snatch electrons away from harmful pathogens.

    Doing so causes a type of mini explosion that knocks the snuff out of viruses, toxins, parasites and other things that can harm your health.

    But the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) puts a different spin on chlorine dioxide—particularly when it's sold as a product called Miracle Mineral Solution (MMS).

    Here's what they say…

Continued below. . .

The Alzheimer's Answer no one is talking about!     It's been called a "diabetes darling," touted as a natural "cholesterol buster," and can even help bust up inflammation.     But one M.D. thinks we're missing the point entirely...     This could be the Alzheimer's Answer of a lifetime--and no one's talking about it!     Imagine--the key to protecting your memory and putting your fears to rest could be right in front of you.     Today, America's leading natural authority is standing up and speaking out. And now you can discover his revelation in this groundbreaking presentation .

By no means should you drink BLEACH—
unless WE give it to you!

    The FDA issued warnings in both July and October 2010 warning folks to steer clear of MMS products being sold by independent distributors on websites and online auctions.

    According to the government agency, if you prepare the product as directed it produces "industrial strength bleach."

    They also warn that some people experienced nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and symptoms of severe dehydration after taking the product. Is it really as bad as they say? Or is this just the FDA up to its usual tricks?

    Their recommendations were: 1) DON'T purchase the product or 2) throw out any you may have. I've heard mixed reports about this remedy myself and I don't recommend it.

    I can't deny a lot of people say it works, not only for cancer but for other diseases. But I think you've got better anti-cancer choices. Because this remedy gets so much press, I get letters about it. So let's take a look. . .

    Chlorine dioxide is commonly used in many different ways — it just comes down to how strong the solution is.

Chlorine dioxide has been used to treat and purify public water sources around the world since the 1940s.

    For example, the water treatment plant in Niagara Falls, New York first used chlorine dioxide in 1944 to treat its drinking water.

    And officials in Brussels, Belgium approved the use of the compound for disinfecting its public drinking water supplies in 1956.

    The level found in your drinking water is too low to make you sick, although drinking chlorinated water over the long term may be linked to bladder cancer, according to some sources.

    The substance is used for other purposes. . .

    Chlorine dioxide has been a staple antiseptic and pathogen killer in the medical profession for more than 100 years.

    What's more, the compound and its chlorite ion were used to decontaminate public buildings following the 2001 release of anthrax spores in the United States.

    People also used it to scrub mold from Louisiana homes flooded by Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

    Chlorine dioxide kills microbes. That's why it's used in all these applications. To be less, polite — it's a poison. I'm not surprised it makes people sick (as the inventor admits it sometimes does).

The man behind the MMS 'miracle'…

    The product that raises the FDA's hackles was created by a retired miner named Jim Humble.

    He accidentally discovered the health benefits of chlorine dioxide while helping a friend complete a gold mining expedition in South Africa.

    Some of the miners began to experience headaches… aching muscles and joints… nausea… diarrhea… and vomiting. They also suffered with chills and high fevers—all symptoms of malaria.

    When Humble gave the sick miners some of the stabilized oxygen he'd brought to purify his drinking water—everyone was amazed to see improvements within an hour after they took it!

    Humble discovered that trace amounts of chlorine dioxide and its chlorite ion were the magic bullet that helped the miners recover their health.

    His MMS formula contains 28% of the sodium chlorite ion in distilled water. The solution changes to chlorine dioxide when you add an "activator" of lemon juice, vinegar or citric acid.

    In his book The Miracle Mineral Solution of the 21^st Century, Jim Humble states that MMS "is not meant for treatment of any particular disease; rather it is meant to improve the immune system to the point of overcoming many diseases, frequently in less than 24 hours."

    Over the years, Humble used his sodium chlorite solution to help people in Africa who were plagued with malaria, hepatitis, AIDS—and cancer. He also made it available to a larger market through Internet sales.

    And naturally that has made him a target of the mainstream medical establishment. This is a case where I don't have enough information to say, one way or another.

    Like every alternative cancer remedy, this one has its fans. Many people believe Humble's assertion that MMS can power up your immune system and be an effective protection against almost any type of cancer.

    As for the nausea and vomiting the FDA reports as possible side effects of taking MMS—Humble acknowledges this may occur.

    He said this is often the way your body reacts when purging itself of toxins and other harmful substances. It can also happen if a person ingests too many drops of MMS at one time.

    His suggestion is to drink a glass of cold water to help ease the nausea. You could also add EITHER 1000 to 5000 mg of vitamin C, OR a teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda.

    If you're curious about the benefits of MMS, you'll find a free chapter from Humble's book at

How to keep your hair while on chemo

A Natural Way to Keep Your Hair
After Chemo

    Going bald is one of the most obvious and demoralizing signs of cancer — at least, if you opt for chemotherapy. Once you lose your hair, your secret is out. Your cancer battle goes public. It might garner you sympathy from strangers, but you also lose the ability to carry on a normal life. And maybe worse, every time you look in the mirror, you see a sick person.

    For women especially, hair loss can be the single most traumatic side-effect of going through cancer. It's a verdict without appeal delivered by oncologists who recommend chemo: "You have a good chance of survival. The cancer may not come back. But you will lose all your hair." Some people actually refuse chemotherapy because the idea of hair loss is so terrifying.

    I'm happy to tell you there may be an answer. Keep reading. . .

Continued below. . .

The secret to curing cancer: You've been throwing it in the trash!     In 1921, a British doctor discovered that members of a remote native tribe were almost totally cancer-free. But when members of this tribe move away from their native land and change their diet, they get cancer just like anyone else.     It's all thanks to a food most of us throw away as waste — a food that's rich inamygdalin — what most of us call Laetrile.     Click here now and watch a video presentation about this cancer breakthrough. One cancer expert calls this overlooked food "the key to curing AND preventing cancer" — and you can benefit now — without going to a doctor or buying expensive supplements. This little throwaway food tastes great. Bill Clinton, of all people, eats a certain amygdalin-rich food all the time, and so can you. Click here now to watch the video!

    Thanks to something called cold cap therapy, a huge number of cancer patients can be saved the embarrassment of hair loss. This very simple, all-natural therapy has been around for years and is popular in Europe, though it's been slow to catch on in the U.S.

    The bottom line here is that most cancer sufferers can make it through chemo with a full head of hair. I'm not a fan of chemo at all, but if that's the treatment you choose, then you deserve to know there's a pretty good chance to keep yourself from going bald. And it's easy, too.

Freeze toxins right out of your head

    The concept itself is simple — and also a bit strange: You wear a frozen cap during chemo treatment. It keeps your scalp cold. And somehow, this prevents your hair from falling out.

    The caps themselves look like swimmers' caps. They're also known as hypothermia caps, since they appear to induce local vasoconstriction around hair follicles (vasoconstriction is the body's natural response to cold). This means blood flow around the hair follicle slows. As a result, toxins from chemotherapy drugs don't fully circulate around the follicles, and the hair stays rooted.

    The first patent for this therapy was filed in the late 1970s. Called "Chemo caps" at the time, the caps consisted of multiple gel-filled nylon pouches. The pouches were frozen and then worn for 15 to 20 minutes before chemo took place.

    Studies at the time showed success rates for the Chemo Cap were around 73%. So when the first patent expired, a new wave of interest in "scalp cooling" took place.

    Now, the two most common cap systems are the Penguin Cold Cap and the DigniCap Scalp Cooling System. Both are used throughout Europe, with success rates verging on 85% or higher. At this time, DigniCaps are not available in the U.S, but the Penguin caps are.

    The Penguin Cold Caps are filled with crylon gel cooled down to -22 degrees Fahrenheit. The caps have to be changed every thirty minutes during the chemo treatment process. The DigniCap system involves a coolant pumped into the caps by a compressor. Temperature sensors inside the caps control circulation of the coolant.

    The company behind the Penguin Cold Caps claims thousands of patients in Europe have kept their hair thanks to this simple intervention. But for U.S. residents, access is a problem. The caps can be rented, but they must be stored in a freezer that can maintain a temperature of -22 degrees Fahrenheit. That's extremely cold. Not many hospitals offer access to this kind of freezer.

    Thankfully, there are people trying to change all that. Shirley Billigmeier, an American who kept her hair following chemotherapy thanks to Penguin Cold Caps, joined with her friend Nancy Marshall to co-found something called The Rapunzel Project. They donate freezers to cancer sufferers around the country who want to try the therapy.

Doesn't apply to all cancers

    It's controversial, of course. And there are plenty of skeptics in the medical community. It's only thanks to the power of the Internet that cold cap therapy is surfacing in the U.S. Patients are talking to each other, looking for a better way than what their oncologists offer.

    A lot of oncologists either don't know about the treatment or are stuck on the early trial results from back in the 1980's. There are also doctors who are skeptical of the treatment because it means the chemo isn't getting into a patient's scalp and hair follicles, meaning patients could undergo metastases of the scalp.

    Yet a 2009 study in Breast Cancer Research and Treatment recorded a 1.1% incidence in scalp metastasis among women who used the cold caps, while a 1.2% increase was recorded among women who did not use the caps. In other words — no difference in scalp cancer results from using the caps.

    Keep in mind, cold cap therapy doesn't appear to be appropriate for all cancers. If you have a blood-borne cancer, like leukemia or lymphoma, then it's not recommended. The thinking is that because blood circulates through your scalp, any chemo treatment targeting cancer cells in the blood might fail to reach every place in the body where it's needed.

    Cold caps are most commonly used for women getting chemo as a preventive therapy for breast cancer, or for patients with other localized forms of cancer.

    More studies are taking place in the hopes that cold cap treatment can be made more widely available. The University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) has a study underway, and New York Hospital in New York City has been working on a cold cap study for the past two years.

    For now, insurance companies don't cover it because, in their view, it hasn't been thoroughly studied. Total cost for the Penguin caps is around $1500 after cap rental and buying dry ice, which is a back-up freezing method if you can't get hold of a suitable freezer.

It's about patient empowerment

    The oncologists today who are open to cold cap therapy are the ones whose patients have used it successfully. The real-life cases they’ve seen are encouraging them to look past survival numbers and outcome stats, and to start recognizing the emotional side effects that play a significant role in recovery.

    As far as I'm concerned, this isn't "just" about vanity. It's about giving patients some meaningful control over what's happening to them. Taking charge of the way you look, beating the odds, and beating the pronouncements of naysayer doctors is as good a way as any of sticking it to cancer. After all, if you don't look like a sick cancer patient, you won't feel as much like a sick cancer patient. Keeping your spirits up can be essential to recovery.

    I don't personally know anyone who's tried cold cap therapy. If you do, please share your experience on our Facebook page or write a letter to me at newsletter@cancerdefeated.com.

When sleep problems turn deadly

    Do you find yourself tossing and turning all night? Or do your eyes droop throughout the day because you never feel really rested?

    Or do you fiercely deny claims that your snoring shakes the walls—even though you wake up yourself?!

    If this sounds like you, it might be time for a serious look at your sleep patterns. More could be at stake than just being a noisy sleeper. Here are some facts to get you started. . .

Show a Younger Face to the World     By repairing your skin's DNA, you can soften your skin, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, tighten up your sagging jaw line, make your crow's feet disappear, and fade sun and aging spots     A Nobel Prize winning secret makes it possible. Your "telomeres" determine how long your skin cells live. Telomeres are the "time keepers" attached to every strand of DNA. Each time your cells divide, your telomeres get shorter. The shorter your telomeres, the more your skin cells age… causing dry and wrinkled skin. Maintain the length of your telomeres, your skin will stay supple, radiant, and youthful.     Dr. Sears' Revive DNA Rejuvenation Cream turns back your skin's aging clock and helps you show a younger face to the world. Click here to find out more.

    You might be one of the 28 million Americans suffering with the condition called sleep apnea. This could be the real reason for your fatigue… snoring… and dangerous pauses in breathing at night…

    If you know about sleep apnea you may already know it's been linked to a higher danger of high blood pressure, heart attack, stroke, obesity, and diabetes.

    But the news about this problem just got worse: Now new research suggests that folks with sleep apnea could also run a higher risk of developing cancer!

    Besides these longer run dangers, the condition can be dangerous in the short term, too! Although it won't cause you to suffocate, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) said sleep apnea does increase your chances of experiencing sudden cardiac activity that can lead to abnormal heart rhythms—and even DEATH!

Some folks see cancer risk increased fivefold…

    For one study, a team of researchers in Spain tracked thousands of patients at sleep clinics. They found that people with severe sleep apnea had a 65 percent (almost two-thirds) greater risk of developing various types of cancer.

    Investigators with the Spanish Sleep Network used a measure called the hypoxemia index to examine the amount of time blood oxygen levels dip below 90 percent at night.

    They followed 5,200 people for seven years, all of whom were cancer-free at the beginning of the study.

    They found that the more oxygen depletion participants experienced at night, the more likely a patient would be diagnosed with cancer during the study.

    According to study author Dr. Miguel Angel Martinez-Garcia of La Fe University and Polytechnic Hospital in Spain, when a person's oxygen levels dropped below 90 percent for up to 12 percent of their sleep time—he or she had a 68 percent higher chance of developing cancer than people whose oxygen levels did not drop!

    The second study focused on about 1,500 state government workers in Wisconsin. These participants in the Wisconsin Sleep Cohort have undergone extensive overnight sleep studies and other health tests about every four years since 1989.

    Researchers from the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health found that participants who experienced the most severe nighttime breathing problems bumped up their risk of dying from cancer by nearly five times when compared to those without the disorder!

    Doctors said these observational results may benefit from additional research to determine if other, unknown factors may account for the link between sleep apnea and cancer.

Is there any treatment for sleep apnea?

    There definitely are things you can do to get sleep apnea under control. But the first step is determining for sure that you have this problem.

    You might have a clue if a sleep mate tells you that you sound like a jackhammer at night!

    But you can also have an overnight sleep study performed to monitor your breathing rate and the number of interruptions you experience throughout the night.

    In some severe cases, people have been known to stop breathing 40 or more times each hour!

    If you are diagnosed with sleep apnea, the standard treatment is a machine that provides "continuous positive airway pressure" or CPAP (pronounced SEE-pap) for short.

    The machine pushes air through a mask that the person wears at night. The additional air forced into nasal passages promotes easier breathing.

    Researchers have found that CPAP therapy reduces—and in some cases completely prevents—apnea symptoms.

    But some people might object to the bulkiness of sleeping with a mask over their faces at night…

    In this case, there's a new form of C.P.A.P. on the market. Ventus Medical has introduced a patch that fits over your nostrils.

    The Provent patch holds two small plugs, one to place in each nostril. These plugs supply enough air pressure to keep the airways open at night.

    The patches are less bulky and more portable than the traditional CPAP machine. But on the downside, buying monthly supplies of patches can be more expensive than the one-time expense of a CPAP machine.

    And the machine is more likely to be covered by insurance plans than the nose patches—even though they received Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval in 2008.

    In any case, there's no doubt sleep apnea can have a serious impact on your health. And the fact that it could be tied to such terrible conditions as diabetes, heart disease and cancer should be enough reason to confirm a diagnosis and seek treatment.

    This could go a long way toward ensuring that your next breath won't be the LAST one!

BOWIE STATE SUFFERS HEARTBREAKING 26-20 OVERTIME HOMECOMING LOSS TO VIRGINIA STATE

BOWIE STATE SUFFERS HEARTBREAKING 26-20 OVERTIME HOMECOMING LOSS TO VIRGINIA STATE

Rebroadcast

BOWIE, Md. – Bowie State redshirt sophomore Keith Brown (Temple Hills, Md. / Suitland HS) rushed for a game-high 120 yards and one touchdown, but Virginia State running back Lamont Britt (Norfolk, Va. / University of Virginia College of Wise) rushed for a 4-yard touchdown in overtime to spoil the Bulldogs Homecoming with a 26-20 victory.

Leading the Trojans on offense was quarterback Jarred Battle (Norfolk, Va. / Lake Taylor HS) with a game-high 201 passing yards, completing 21-of-32 (two interceptions) and one touchdown. Battle’s top target was Bryan Jones (Hayward, Calif. / Chabot C.C.) with seven catches for 39 yards.  The Virginia State defense was led by Brandon Robinson (Hampton, Va. / Phoebus HS) with a team-high 11 tackles.

Virginia State amassed 422 yards (221 rushing) of total offense while limiting Bowie State to 287 (173 rushing).

Bowie State took a 6-0 lead when redshirt sophomore Jared Johnston (Dumfries, VA / Forest Park HS) teamed with junior Prince Onuoha (Riverdale, Md. / Frederick Douglass HS) on a 9-yard scoring strike in the corner of the end zone with 8:58 left in the first quarter. The extra point by redshirt-sophomore Mario Diaz-Aviles (Washington, D.C. / Delaware State Univ.) was blocked.

                                                                                          

Devonte Hunt (Newport News, Va. / West Virginia Wesleyan College) scored Virginia State’s first points of the afternoon with 9:07 left to play in the second quarter on a 24-yard field goal.

VSU’s Jones pounded in from two yards out with 27 second left in the second quarter, shifting the advantage over to the Trojans at 10-6.  Possession time in the first half of play was dominated by Virginia State, holding a 20:13 to 9:47 advantage.

Bowie State regained the lead on its first possession of the third quarter on Johnston to freshman Maxie Stevens (Washington, D.C. / Dunbar HS) 46-yard pass and catch, putting the score at 13-10 Bulldogs.

Virginia State went three and out on their next possession and Bowie State took advantage of the opportunity, driving 64 yards in eight plays, capped off by a one yard score by Brown at the 6:19 mark of the third quarter and a 20-10 lead.

Virginia State’s Hunt booted a 30 yard field goal with 13:35 remaining in the third to cut the Bowie State lead down to 20-13.

Bowie State appeared to be in the driver’s seat with just over two minutes left in regulation. Faced with a fourth and 14 from the Virginia State 21 yard, the Bulldogs decided to attempt a 38 yard field goal. Unfortunately for Bowie State, the Diaz-Aviles kick was blocked by Virginia State’s Rontrelle Knockett (Fort Barnwell, N.C. / Louisburg C.C.), giving the Trojans was last chance.

Following two short completed passes, Battle connected with Ja’von Smallwood (Virginia Beach, Va. / Bayside HS) for 23 yards down to the Bowie State 25 yard line. Battle then teamed up with Jacob Kellam (Virginia Beach, Va. / Norfolk State Univ.) for a 25 yard touchdown. Hunt calmly added the extra point, tying the game at 20-20 with 1:02 left on the clock.

In the overtime period, Virginia State won the toss and elected to go on defense first. The BSU Bulldogs ran three plays and attempted a fake field goal on fourth and 11 with no success.

Virginia State’s Britt scampered 21 yards down the sideline on the Trojans first play of overtime and followed up with the winning 4-yard touchdown run.

Bowie State’s Johnston completed the afternoon with 114 passing yards, completing 11-of-24 (one interception) and two touchdowns. The Bulldogs’ defense was led by redshirt freshman Antoine Young (Capital Heights, Md. / Suitland HS) and redshirt-junior Delante White (Temple Hills, Md. / Crossland HS) with a game-high 13 tackles each.

When sleep problems turn deadly

    Do you find yourself tossing and turning all night? Or do your eyes droop throughout the day because you never feel really rested?

    Or do you fiercely deny claims that your snoring shakes the walls—even though you wake up yourself?!

    If this sounds like you, it might be time for a serious look at your sleep patterns. More could be at stake than just being a noisy sleeper. Here are some facts to get you started. . .

Continued below. . .

Show a Younger Face to the World     By repairing your skin's DNA, you can soften your skin, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, tighten up your sagging jaw line, make your crow's feet disappear, and fade sun and aging spots     A Nobel Prize winning secret makes it possible. Your "telomeres" determine how long your skin cells live. Telomeres are the "time keepers" attached to every strand of DNA. Each time your cells divide, your telomeres get shorter. The shorter your telomeres, the more your skin cells age… causing dry and wrinkled skin. Maintain the length of your telomeres, your skin will stay supple, radiant, and youthful.     Dr. Sears' Revive DNA Rejuvenation Cream turns back your skin's aging clock and helps you show a younger face to the world. Click here to find out more.

    You might be one of the 28 million Americans suffering with the condition called sleep apnea. This could be the real reason for your fatigue… snoring… and dangerous pauses in breathing at night…

    If you know about sleep apnea you may already know it's been linked to a higher danger of high blood pressure, heart attack, stroke, obesity, and diabetes.

    But the news about this problem just got worse: Now new research suggests that folks with sleep apnea could also run a higher risk of developing cancer!

    Besides these longer run dangers, the condition can be dangerous in the short term, too! Although it won't cause you to suffocate, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) said sleep apnea does increase your chances of experiencing sudden cardiac activity that can lead to abnormal heart rhythms—and even DEATH!

Some folks see cancer risk increased fivefold…

    For one study, a team of researchers in Spain tracked thousands of patients at sleep clinics. They found that people with severe sleep apnea had a 65 percent (almost two-thirds) greater risk of developing various types of cancer.

    Investigators with the Spanish Sleep Network used a measure called the hypoxemia index to examine the amount of time blood oxygen levels dip below 90 percent at night.

    They followed 5,200 people for seven years, all of whom were cancer-free at the beginning of the study.

    They found that the more oxygen depletion participants experienced at night, the more likely a patient would be diagnosed with cancer during the study.

    According to study author Dr. Miguel Angel Martinez-Garcia of La Fe University and Polytechnic Hospital in Spain, when a person's oxygen levels dropped below 90 percent for up to 12 percent of their sleep time—he or she had a 68 percent higher chance of developing cancer than people whose oxygen levels did not drop!

    The second study focused on about 1,500 state government workers in Wisconsin. These participants in the Wisconsin Sleep Cohort have undergone extensive overnight sleep studies and other health tests about every four years since 1989.

    Researchers from the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health found that participants who experienced the most severe nighttime breathing problems bumped up their risk of dying from cancer by nearly five times when compared to those without the disorder!

    Doctors said these observational results may benefit from additional research to determine if other, unknown factors may account for the link between sleep apnea and cancer.

Is there any treatment for sleep apnea?

    There definitely are things you can do to get sleep apnea under control. But the first step is determining for sure that you have this problem.

    You might have a clue if a sleep mate tells you that you sound like a jackhammer at night!

    But you can also have an overnight sleep study performed to monitor your breathing rate and the number of interruptions you experience throughout the night.

    In some severe cases, people have been known to stop breathing 40 or more times each hour!

    If you are diagnosed with sleep apnea, the standard treatment is a machine that provides "continuous positive airway pressure" or CPAP (pronounced SEE-pap) for short.

    The machine pushes air through a mask that the person wears at night. The additional air forced into nasal passages promotes easier breathing.

    Researchers have found that CPAP therapy reduces—and in some cases completely prevents—apnea symptoms.

    But some people might object to the bulkiness of sleeping with a mask over their faces at night…

    In this case, there's a new form of C.P.A.P. on the market. Ventus Medical has introduced a patch that fits over your nostrils.

    The Provent patch holds two small plugs, one to place in each nostril. These plugs supply enough air pressure to keep the airways open at night.

    The patches are less bulky and more portable than the traditional CPAP machine. But on the downside, buying monthly supplies of patches can be more expensive than the one-time expense of a CPAP machine.

    And the machine is more likely to be covered by insurance plans than the nose patches—even though they received Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval in 2008.

    In any case, there's no doubt sleep apnea can have a serious impact on your health. And the fact that it could be tied to such terrible conditions as diabetes, heart disease and cancer should be enough reason to confirm a diagnosis and seek treatment.

    This could go a long way toward ensuring that your next breath won't be the LAST one!
