This superstar nutrient just keeps getting better

Co-enzyme Q10 is Not Just
For Your Heart Anymore

    If you believe in good nutrition you're probably familiar with co-enzyme Q10, or CoQ10 for short. This is a popular nutritional supplement for folks who want to ensure that their hearts continue to beat longer and stronger.

    CoQ10 is actually part of every cell in your body. It works deep inside cell mitochondria — the tiny "energy factories" you have in every cell. CoQ10 helps your cells produce the ATP molecule that is required for muscle contraction — in other words, you can't move without it.

Cancer Cells Killed by Eating This...     There is a nutrient in your kitchen, right now, that acts like a "smart bomb" against cancer cells.     It's one of the main phytonutrients in a specific type of food. Researchers are hailing it as a breakthrough that offers real hope for preventing and defeating cancer.     A new research study has shown how it can selectively target and kill cancer cells, while leaving healthy cells alone. The findings are breakthrough for its potential use in cancer prevention and treatment.     But this is just the tip of the iceberg. There's also: A natural cholesterol fighter that brings bad levels down 30%; An effective method to lowering your blood pressure without harmful drugs; A fruit that can fight Alzheimer's Disease;     Dr. Victor Marchione, aka the Food Doctor is revealing this and 16 other amazing "healing foods" in his newest report that you can see here.

    And since your heart is an extremely important muscle in your body that contracts all day long for years on end, you can see why CoQ10 supplements would be a natural choice for anyone trying to improve heart health!

    When University of Texas cardiologist Dr. Peter Langsjoen used CoQ10 to treat congestive heart failure, he described the improvements he saw in the patients' health as "nothing short of dramatic."

    But long-time readers of this newsletter know it's more than just a heart supplement. CoQ10 is a potent cancer-fighter, too!

Even establishment doctors admit
CoQ10 is the real deal

    According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, CoQ10 is also a powerful antioxidant that can help strengthen your immune system and protect your cells from free radical damage.

    Even some mainstream medical establishments such as the National Cancer Institute and the American Cancer Society give this nutrient "two thumbs up" as a first-rate immune system booster. And it's not often that these groups recommend nutritional solutions.

    Because free radicals also can damage your DNA, some researchers have linked these harmful molecules to the development of certain cancers. But ongoing research seems to point to CoQ10 as a free radical's worst nightmare…

    As early as 1961, researchers noted that some cancer patients had lower-than-normal amounts of CoQ10 in their bloodstream. In fact, patients with cancers of the breast, lung, prostate, pancreas, colon, kidney, and head and neck have all been shown to have low blood levels of CoQ10.

    Is this just a coincidence? Probably not!

    In 1993, University of Texas biochemist Dr. Peter Folkers, PhD, took note of these amazing CoQ10 benefits when he followed six cancer patients who took CoQ10 for congestive heart failure.

    When he tracked the progress of the four lung cancer patients and the other two breast cancer patients—he found that ALL of them experienced remissions! Dr. Folkers was convinced that this was due to CoQ10.

    And he is not alone in championing the benefits of CoQ10 treatments…

International studies show CoQ10 provides
natural chemotherapy benefits!

    Although the American medical establishment prefers to push cancer drugs, radiation and surgery as the best cancer treatments—the global scientific community is far more open to researching CoQ10 as a complementary treatment, i.e. a treatment that can be used alongside drugs, radiation, etc.

    Researchers have noted that the effects of chemotherapy drugs actually have beenstrengthened when doctors add CoQ10 as a supplement.

    Because chemo drugs are so toxic, doctors have to limit the dosage they can administer. The problem is that high dosage chemotherapy treatments damage both cancerous and healthy cells.

    What's more, chemotherapy can suppress a person's immune system permanently—leaving the patient open to other harmful and deadly infections.

    But international studies are demonstrating the benefits of adding CoQ10 to traditional chemotherapy treatments. Here are some examples from around the world...

• Italy—researchers treated children with leukemia or lymphoma with either the chemotherapy drug doxorubicin combined with a CoQ10 supplement, or chemo treatment alone. Doxorubicin is known to cause damage to the heart muscle.
  
  Scientists observed that the CoQ10 supplements appeared to provide "a protective effect" on cardiac function.
• India—a team of biochemical researchers at the Post Graduate Institute of Basic Medical Sciences in Madras conducted studies to prove that CoQ10 and other vitamins could help manage cancer even before chemotherapy was administered. Their studies indicated that CoQ10 prevented healthy cells from undergoing malignant changes.
• Japan— researchers at the National Cancer Center Research Institute in Tokyo used the deadly chemical azoxymethane to induce colon cancer in rats. Some animals were fed a diet containing CoQ10 while another group received an unsupplemented diet.
  
  When investigators saw first signs of colon cancer, they found that rats who received CoQ10 had less than half the cancers seen in the unsupplemented group. The scientists chalked it up to CoQ10 providing chemopreventive benefits.

What IS a co-enzyme, anyway?

    If you read these articles regularly, you already know I'm a big fan of enzymes. And what's not to love?

    These proteins help jump start many important chemical reactions that help power up your body and sustain your life.

    The enzymes in your body increase the pace of these natural chemical reactions to help you:

• Balance your cholesterol and triglyceride levels
• Digest foods properly
• Enhance your brain function
• Maintain a healthy metabolism
• Purge unwanted viruses from your bloodstream
• Shed unwanted pounds
• And much MORE!

    In order to facilitate these reactions, enzymes must attach themselves to molecules (for example, a molecule of an apple you just ate) to "unlock" their energy. In order to get a good fit—a related protein called a co-enzyme steps up to assist.

    CoQ10 is the most well-known nutrient in this category. I won't be surprised if more important co-enzymes are identified in the future.

Get the BEST form of CoQ10

    The evidence about CoQ10's health benefits is convincing. And while investigators continue their studies, you don't have to wait for this remarkable food to be approved by the medical bosses. You can reap the benefits by taking CoQ10 supplements that are widely available in health food stores and on the Internet.

    Ubiquinone is the common form of CoQ10, the one that's found in most supplements. However, the most powerful form of CoQ10 is ubiquinol. Ubiquinol is more expensive than ubiquinone, but it's worth it because it packs 8 times the punch.

    I've heard of heart and cancer patients taking as much as 3,000 mg. of the cheaper ubiquinone to get the desired result. With the more potent ubiquinol you won't have to do that.

    But if you don't have heart disease or cancer at this time, and you're strapped for cash, you don't need 3,000 mg, and the less expensive form of CoQ10 may be just fine.

    It certainly can't hurt to boost your body's supply of a safe, natural nutrient known to fight dangerous free radicals… protect yourself from mutant cancer cells… and energize your body from the inside out!

High-tech weapon kills cancer cells -- NO side effects

Painless "Blowtorch" Procedure Creates Mutiny in Cancer Cells     Imagine a riot inside the body of a cancer sufferer: Diseased cells turn on and destroy each other. . .induce their own death. . .and bring down all their fellow cancer cells.     But this "riot" leaves the healthy cells around them untouched.     It may sound like the stuff of science fiction, but new research has tapped incredible promise in a new, low-temperature "plasma blowtorch." This scene could soon be a reality for cancer patients. Keep reading for more. . . Continued below. . . Video: 10-Cent 'Tummy Tuck' Trims Masses of Belly Fat Without Surgery     Have you seen the incredible video that explains one doctor's solution for melting away big slabs of belly fat?     Apparently even overweight couch potatoes lost 26 square centimeters of belly fat -- without surgery or frightening drugs or even changing their eating habits one bit! This shocking new video has been sent to more than 1.3 million people already. If you haven't seen it yet, here's your chance. While it's still available, watch it for free here.     And just wait until you hear what it does for diabetes... watch free now. The cold plasma blowtorch method     The blowtorch approach generates a beam of room-temperature plasma, safe enough to touch with your hand. A plasma is a sort of gas containing ionized or charged molecules. The plasma in this new treatment comes from nontoxic, room-temperature gases like helium, along with gases found in the air we breathe.     To make the plasma, scientists force fast-moving electrons through the previously mentioned room-temperature gases. This sparks such a massive energy burst that the outer strings of electron bonds collide with the atoms and molecules inside the gases. The electrons and ions that are knocked free then form a non-bonded, "soupy" mixture. The energy required to break the electrons away from their atoms dispels quickly, so the gas ions stay cool.     The plasma is directed in a pencil-point beam that uses short pulses with high voltage to pump out a low-temperature plume. A blowtorch is one analogy. You could also describe it as a sort of plasma gun, or perhaps a fire hose. But I'm neither a techie nor an engineer, so take my comments accordingly.     The point is that it shoots out a directed stream of particles that wreck cancer cells.     Dr. Mounir Laroussie, who directs the Laser and Plasma Engineering Institute at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia, along with his team, wanted to test the effects of this plasma mixture on cancers. They took aim at leukemia cells and got a double surprise.     The first surprise was that nothing happened to the cells right after the plasma treatment. They didn't react, and they certainly didn't die ... at first.     But about four hours later — and in some cases, as long as eight hours later — things started happening. The cancer cells began to die. But of equal importance was the fact that normal cells around them were unaffected.     Further testing showed compelling results: Over 90 percent of leukemia cells were obliterated after only 10 minutes of treatment with this cold plasma blowtorch.     Loroussie believes there's a biochemical reaction that takes place when cancer cells are shot with cold plasma, which is what prompts the cancer cells to self-destruct while healthy cells are left unharmed. Why healthy cells stay protected     The secret ingredient in this procedure may come down to ozone, which is one of the key molecules in cold plasma.     Ozone is a particularly reactive molecule with three oxygen atoms, as opposed to the two oxygen atoms found in the air we breathe. Ozone is increasingly useful in modern medicine. It's known to kill bacterial infections, which is important considering the increase we're seeing in drug-resistant bacteria.     As it turns out, ozone is a natural byproduct of a cell's metabolic cycle. And when you compare cancer cells to healthy cells, the cancer cells have much higher metabolisms. This naturally leads to elevated ozone levels.     So if you add extra ozone to the already-elevated ozone levels in cancer cells, it pushes those cancer cells to self-destruct in a frenzy of apoptosis. But, since healthy cells have lower levels of ozone to begin with, adding this additional ozone dose doesn't push them over the edge. They stay safe and unharmed.     That's the reason there's so much excitement behind this treatment. It's also why cold plasma treatment could be a major breakthrough for leukemia patients. Because even though leukemia patients often go on to lead healthy lives after overcoming cancer, they chronically suffer from the long-term side effects of interventions like chemotherapy, radiation, and bone marrow transplants. The side effects can include everything from hair loss to memory impairment to nerve damage. Highway to cell death     Cold plasma treatment is getting a lot of attention, thanks to the findings described above. Researchers are hopeful it can be developed for other cancers, beyond leukemia. Research is already underway on how to properly dose skin, lung, and brain cancers with plasma treatments.     Low-temperature plasma may also help with a host of other unmanageable diseases and drug-resistant bacterial infections. One hope is that it can be used to curb the plaques that prompt Parkinson's and Alzheimer's.     Of course, it's not widely available yet and has to jump through a bunch of regulatory hoops. Fortunately, it doesn't appear to have long-term side effects.     At the very least, it tells us we need to find out more about how plasma prompts cell death. The complexities of different cancers make it hard to come up with effective treatments. But if the cold plasma route is as effective as some researchers think it could be, all that's left is to work out specific doses for different types of cancers.

WASHINGTON, DC – The University of the District of Columbia men's basketball team suffered its seventh straight loss as the Firebirds fell to 1-8 on the season with a 77-67 defeat at home against East Coast Conference newcomer, Roberts Wesleyan on Saturday afternoon at UDC Gym.

Just a five-point game at halftime, the Redhawks used two separate 8-0 runs in the second half to bolster their lead to double-digits, and they hung on for a 10-point margin of victory despite a frantic late rally by the Firebirds.

With the win, Roberts Wesleyan improved to 5-5 overall and 2-0 in its inaugural ECC season while District of Columbia fell to 0-2 in league play.

The Redhawks were led by their senior forward Devin Grimes, who packed the stat sheet with 23 points, 16 rebounds, two assists and three steals. Guard Mike Stone also added 16 points on 5-of-7 FG shooting (3-of-5 from three-point range) and Tyrel Dixon pitched in with 10 points, six rebounds and four assists.

Junior transfer Ralph Watts (Sociology – Peekskill, NY/UAlbany) had a team-high 16 points to go with three rebounds, two assists and a steal for the Firebirds. Junior transfer guard Michael Terry(Criminal Justice – Philadelphia, PA/Boston U) added 13 points, two steals and a block, and fellow junior transfer backcourt mate Quasim Jones (Business Management – Philadelphia, PA/Johnson CC) recorded 11 points, four rebounds and four assists.

Also, senior transfer forward D'Angelo Johnson (Mass Media – Washington, DC/Virginia State) notched his second straight double-figure scoring game, coming off the bench to record 10 points and eight rebounds. Senior starting guard Keith Brooks (Journalism – Queens, NY/Monsignor McClancy HS) gave the Firebirds a great effort as well with nine points, eight rebounds (which tied his career-high), four assists and two steals. District of Columbia was without starting forward Ziad Ashmawy, as he has suffered a torn meniscus. The timetable on his return is indefinite.

Roberts Wesleyan grabbed an 11-2 lead in the opening 3:20 of play, but the Firebirds fought their way back into the game with a 7-2 run to close the gap to four, 13-9, with the 15-minute mark approaching. The Redhawks' lead hovered between four and nine points for the next 10 minutes when, trailing 26-20, Johnson's pair of free-throws and jumper in back-to-back possessions brought District of Columbia within two, 26-24. The two teams traded baskets after that, but RWC scored the final three points of the half – a 1-of-2 trip at the foul line by Stone and a layup by William Kemp-harris, and took a 31-26 lead at intermission.

Watts buried a jumper 48 seconds into the action for the first points of the second half to bring the Firebirds within three, 31-28, but that was as close as District of Columbia would get the rest of the way. Trailing 35-30, the Firebirds allowed the Redhawks on an 8-0 run, capped by a William Bromirski three-pointer to put RWC up, 43-30 at the 14:43 mark. Then after District of Columbia cut the lead back down to seven with consecutive three-pointers by Terry and Brooks, respectively, the Redhawks used another 8-0 run capped by Stone's three-pointer and took a 51-36 lead with 12:25 remaining.

Roberts Wesleyan, which shot 17-of-27 (63-percent) from the field and 5-of-7 (71-percent) from three-point range in the second half, grew its lead to as many as 17, before a frantic 14-4 Firebird run saw District of Columbia close the deficit to seven with 1:22 left in regulation. The Redhawks only made 6-of-10 free-throws down the stretch, but the Firebirds only lost ground as they shot just 1-for-5 from the field and 1-for-4 from the stripe in that time, resulting in a 10-point loss, 77-67.

The Firebirds have 15 days off for the winter holiday break before they visit non-conference foe UMass-Lowell on December 30^th in their final game of the 2012 calendar year.

Just a little Holiday Alcohol Ok?

(Sponsor this newsletter)

DALLAS (CNN) -- Consuming two to six alcoholic drinks per week can greatly reduce the risk of sudden cardiac death, according to a new report from researchers at Harvard Medical School.

The Physicians' Health Study used data from 21,537 men over a 12-year period. Researchers found that men who had two to four drinks per week lessened their risk for sudden cardiac death by 60 percent. Those who had five to six drinks per week lowered their risk by 79 percent.

Though some alcohol is good, more may not be better. Rates of sudden cardiac death increased among people who had more than two drinks per day, the study found.

The research did not look at drinking patterns. However, it is generally agreed among scientists that binge drinking, or drinking large amounts of alcohol in brief periods, can cause abnormal heart rhythms that can lead to sudden cardiac death.

Though the study's findings are considered significant, its authors are not recommending that people start drinking.

"Based on the data, I wouldn't recommend that non-drinkers start drinking," said Christine M. Albert, M.D., lead researcher. "One has to consider all the risks and benefits of drinking alcohol. You don't know how likely a person is to become addicted to alcohol, and there is also the risk of cancer to consider."

Previous studies have found that heavy alcohol consumption may increase an individual's risk of certain types of cancer.

"Consuming two or more drinks per day has been associated with an increased breast cancer risk in women. This study was done only in men, so we can't be sure if our results would apply to women as well," said Albert.

Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is responsible for about half of all deaths from heart disease, the nation's biggest killer. SCD is usually caused by irregular heart rhythms. Heart attack, the death of heart muscle due to loss of blood supply, rarely causes SCD.

Prior studies have pointed to a similar beneficial effect of alcohol when consumed in moderate amounts. This study, however, is the largest to date. It is published in the American Heart Association's journal, Circulation.

How to ELIMINATE PAIN... without medication

If you're anything like me, PAIN is no stranger to you.

Now that I've grown old-er (emphasis on the "-er"!), it seems 
like it's a constant battle between neck pain... back pain... 
joint pain... muscle pain... etc.

There's a very good reason for this...

Most pain in your body is caused by "inflammation".

Inflammation, although it causes pain and swelling, is your 
body's way of actually promoting healing by calling upon your 
body's own natural healing mechanisms.

However, as we age, your body doesn't manage inflammation very 
well.

Why?

Your body's main defense against inflammation is through the 
production of what are called "Proteolytic Enzymes".

These little "pain fighters" directly control inflammation and 
when the inflammation is gone, the pain also goes away.

Unfortunately, after the age of 25, our own natural production of 
these enzymes begins to decline.

That's why as we age, we "feel" more pain.  Inflammation runs 
rampant and we have less of our own natural enzymes to deal with 
it.

So if you're like most people, what do you do?

You start popping pills, right?

Prescription meds from your doctor... over-the-counter NSAID's 
(like Advil)... anything to stop the pain and make life 
manageable!

It's INSANE!

I mean remember... your body is DESIGNED TO HEAL ITSELF!

Yet we try to compensate for our body's own natural pain defenses 
by simply MASKING the pain with dangerous medications.

     (Case in point: NSAID's - like Advil - put over 100,000 
     people in the hospital each year...and KILL over 16,000 a 
     year!)

So what CAN you do to get rid of the pain without destroying your 
health in the process?

The answer is so SIMPLE that you'll almost laugh...

All you have to do is REPLACE your body's own natural 
inflammation fighters and you eliminate the pain!

You see, the proteolytic enzymes your body is deficient in can 
actually be replenished very easily.

It's 100% safe and natural, and here's the kicker...

Not only do these enzymes take away the pain and inflammation...

     ...enzymes actually HEAL the source of your pain!

That means long term relief from pain and not just the short-term 
"band-aid meds" most doctors will prescribe!

     Look, you want to get rid of the pain, right?

     You don't want to destroy your liver and body with dangerous 
     prescription meds and over-the-counter NSAID's, right?

     You want to nurture your body's own NATURAL healing process, 
     right?

Of course you do.

Then what if I told you you could actually "test" this 
all-natural "enzyme therapy" yourself and start getting rid of 
the pain right away...

Got your attention?

LAST SECOND PUTBACK LIFTS BOWIE STATE TO 73-71 WIN AT UNIVERSITY OF D.C.

LAST SECOND PUTBACK LIFTS BOWIE STATE TO 73-71 WIN AT UNIVERSITY OF D.C.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Bowie State University surrendered a 17-point second half lead but scored the final four points, which included a buzzer-beating, go-ahead layup by senior Najee White to lift the Bulldogs to a thrilling, 73-71 non-conference road victory. With the win, Bowie State has won four of its last five games to set their record at 4-5 to end the first half of the season.

The Bulldogs were once again paced by senior Byron Westmorland with 23 points. White recorded his second career-double, adding a game and career-high 15 rebounds.  Fellow senior Dameatric Scott contributed 16 points and junior Ray Gatling accounted for nine points to go along with a personal season-high four rebounds and a team-high five assists.

Leading the way for the Firebirds were D’Angelo Johnson, Ziad Ashaway and Florent Pontens with 16, 13 and 11 points respectively. Ashaway tied for team-high rebound honors (seven) with Keith Brooks.

“We’re really a work in progress and we always expect things to be hard on the road”, said a rather relieved fourth-year head coach Darryl Brooks. Of Bowie State’s nine games so far this season, eight have been on the road. “We had a comfortable lead early and played well in the first half. However, in the second half, we had a let done defensively and on the glass allowing them to get back into the game.

UDC (1-7) held a four point advantage twice early in the game until Westmorland drilled a deep 3-pointer followed by a steal and layup by Scott gave the Bulldogs a 17-13 advantage, forcing a Firebirds timeout.

The Firebirds charged back to regain the lead at 22-20 on a traditional 3-point play by Johnson at the 9:55 mark. The lead would change hands 11 times in the first half but the Bulldogs closed out the final 4:06 with a 15-2 run and a 45-32 lead at intermission.

Bowie State shot 51.4 percent in the first half on 18-of-35 shooting, which included 7-of-15 beyond the arc.  The Bulldogs defense held the University of D.C. to 12-of-36 shooting (33.3 percent) in the first period.

UDC made a big run to pull within three (53-51) at the 14:19 mark of the second half, but the Bulldogs countered with back-to-back triples by Westmorland and a White layup gave Bowie State a little breathing room at 61-51.

A 3-point bucket by UDC’s Michael Terry closed the Firebirds deficit to just two (67-65) and a breakaway dunk by Johnson knotted the game at 67-67 with 7:11 remaining. Brooks made one of two free throws to give the Firebirds their first lead since 30-29 in the first half.

A pair of free throws by Bowie State’s Gatling created the games third and final tie, this time at 71-71 with 1:44 left in regulation.

BSU’s Westmorland blocked a sure Firebirds’ layup by Ashaway, setting up one last opportunity for the Bulldogs. With .2 seconds to play Bowie State’s Carlos Smith had his short jumper blocked but the rebound and stick back by White lifted the Bulldogs to the victory. 

Bowie State will be idle for the next 21 days before returning to action Thursday (January 3) opening conference play at home against Livingstone College. Tip time for the Blue Bears and Bulldogs is 7:30 pm in BSU’s A.C. Jordan Arena.
