For the period 2003 to 2007, the median age at death for breast cancer victims was 68 years. We are all too well aware that women are dying of breast cancer by the thousands each and every year. And now women younger than 40, the traditional age women are told to begin annual mammograms, are part of this dreaded statistic. And what may seem impossible is that information about simple to use nutrition practices is slowly being revealed as solid and reliable. The fact is there is a remarkably positive result when nutrition and breast cancer prevention are linked.For the period 2003 to 2007, the median age at death for breast cancer victims was 68 years.

Creatine Creatine is a naturally occurring metabolite produced by the human body that has a powerful role in energy metabolism as a muscle fuel. The immediate energy source for skeletal muscle contraction is from a molecule called adenosine triphosphate (ATP). During a brief period of high intensity exercise, i.e. weight training, the ATP demand in the working muscles increases significantly to several hundred times higher verses when at rest. High intensity exercise can totally deplete phosphocreatine stores within 10 seconds. The depleted stores of ATP and CP must be steadily replenished in order for muscular contractions to continue at peak levels of frequency and intensity. Oral supplementation of creatine has been shown to increase the free creatine pool; maximize ATP production and resynthesis; increase anaerobic power output; increase CP (creatine phosphate) reserves and increase intracellular volume, increasing muscle size.

Summary This science-based book is the first to demonstrate that insufficient access to the sun's ultraviolet-B (UV-B) irradiance, necessary for photosynthesis of vitamin D, increases the risk of progression in prostate cancer.
At least 80 per cent of our major circulating reservoir of the vitamin, 25-hydroxyvitamin D, is produced by casual exposure of unprotected skin to solar UV-B. The remainder is obtained from foods and supplements. The author looks at five of the many populations characterized by elevated death rates from prostate cancer: African-North Americans, Norwegians, Swedes, Swiss, and Danes. He shows that insufficient photosynthesis is common to them all and describes the causative circumstances in each instance. An in-depth review of the literature revealed that a substantial increase in the daily supply of vitamin D recommended for adult North Americans is urgently needed. Importantly, it showed that an increase of the magnitude envisaged would fall well within the range of values necessary for combining safety and efficacy. The following examples illustrate the scope and tenor of the book: · Evidence that calcitriol, a steroid hormone metabolized from 25-hydroxyvitamin D, inhibits proliferation of prostate cancer cells, as well as regulating the supply of calcium to bones and other organs. · The capacity of calcitriol to induce cell cycle arrest (apoptosis) and decrease the harmfulness of insulin-like growth factors (IGF), known to be implicated in cancers of the prostate, the breast, and the colon. · The significance of the term "gene-expression switch," considered in the light of the ability of calcitriol and its receptor to modulate the transcription of numerous genes within the nuclei of cells. · Provided that two prerequisites are met, the ability of the prostate to produce calcitriol within its cells. · Details of an actual case of vitamin D toxicity after long-term mega-dosing with a Read more
The book, "Omega 3 and vitamin D secrets! How do you obtain a healthy level of Omega 3 and vitamin D these days?" , contains new information about an old discovery made by a doctor in biochemistry in the USA in the 1940s. With his research he discovered why most people do not get much health benefit from the meals with wild fish, free range eggs, grass feed beef and fish supplements. For whatever reasons his important discovery and solution to obtain a healthy level of Omega 3 and vitamin D plus the other lipids has remained a secret to most people. With his research, the doctor discovered that very little of the important lipids in marine oil or food rich in these lipids would reach all the cells in the skin and body with the normal method of eating and drinking. Already at that time it was noticed that a lot of people got dry skin and body with the associated illnesses. These days some doctors involved in the research of these important lipids think we have reached a worldwide vitamin D deficiency of epidemic proportions with more than 1 billion people at risk for associated illnesses. As soon as you understand how our modern way of life have influenced our digestion, absorption and transport of the essential fatty acid Omega 3 and the oil soluble vitamin D in the body, compared to previous generations, it should be easier to understand why many people get dry skin and body these days. With this knowledge, it should also be easier to understand what you need to do to obtain a healthy level of Omega 3 and vitamin D together with the other oil soluble vitamins to correct or avoid dry skin and body, and the associated illnesses. What are these associated illnesses? According to scientific research lack of these important lipids cause oxidative stress or inflammation at the cellular level. Most of our serious illnesses related to heart, arteries, arthritis, osteoporosis, lung, asthma, diabetes, kidney, eyes, cancer etc and not so serious illnesses such as dry ski, dry hair, bleeding gums, depression, digestive problems, pain, hearing loss etc seem to develop because of oxidative stress or inflammation at the cellular level. Add fertility problems, autism and birth complications and... What is a healthy level of these important lipids and how can I be sure that I have a healthy level of these lipids? This is what the doctor in biochemistry discovered back in the 1940s. With this information your starting question could be: What changes have we made to our way of living and eating compared to previous generations which give us lack of the essential fatty acids Omega 3 and the oil soluble vitamin D? That information and much more is the topic of the book! Read more
Did you know that the root cause of serious chronic diseases such as heart disease, Alzheimer's disease, cancer, arthritis, and asthma has been identified as chronic inflammation? Although numerous studies have confirmed these findings, few physcians are aware of or consider the fact that the battle against inflammation is at the forefront of the fight for health and well-being of the global population. Authors Joseph Maroon and Jeffrey Bost have set out to reverse that trend with "Fish Oil: The Natural Anti-Inflammatory." Pharmaceujtical companies have spent billions of dollars in an attempt to understand the bio-chemistry of inflammation. Unfortunately, pharmaceutical anit-inflammatories such as Celebrex, Vioxx, and Bextra have been shown to greatly increase the risk of heart attack, stroke, and uncontrollable gastric hemorrhage, with potentially fatal consequences. Is there a safer alternative? Absolutiely! The answer lies in the power of the omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil, undeniably the most under-recognized and also the most petent natural anti-inflammatory available. With compelling arguments and the results of thousands of clinical studies to support them. the uathors explain in plain and simple terms; How the inflammation process works and how it can evolve into a chroninc condition that is the cause of many diseases; How fatty acids work in the body; Why supplementtion with omega-3 fatty acids can restore the body's balance and mitigate the effects of inflmmatory factors; and why fish oil is the best source of omega-3 fatty acids, and how to identify good-quality fish oil supplements.

The medically proven diet that restores your body's essential nutritional balance
"Good fats"--essential fatty acids--influence every aspect of our being, from the beating of our hearts to our ability to learn to remember. There are two types of essential fatty acids (EFAs), omega-6 and omega-3. The problem with our modern diet is that it contains far more omega-6 fatty acids than omega-3s. This hidden imbalance makes us more vulnerable to heart disease, cancer, obesity, autoimmmune diseases, allergies, diabetes, and depression.
The Omega Diet is a natural, time-tested diet that balances the essential fatty acids in your diet. It is packed with delicious food that contain the "good" fats, including real salad dressing, cheese, eggs, fish--even the occasional chocolate dessert--and an abundance of antioxidant-rich fruits, vegetables, and legumes.
The Omega Diet provides:
Dr. Lands expertly explains how curative/treatment interventions have unsuccessfully prevented diseases by ignoring the initial dietary causes of disease and death. With years of clinical and dietary expertise, he uses clear examples and current data to demonstrate how a moderate, balanced diet is the key to long-term good health. This edition includes an expanded glossary of words and concepts to help readers recognize how specific nutrient imbalances in our normal diets can contribute to disease and death. Also new to this edition are dietary tables showing the link between diet choices and the levels of healthy omega-3 in the body. As Dr. Lands eloquently states, "Curiosity is the beginning of understanding, and a steady pursuit of our questions seems to always lead us into new adventures and new understandings."
The second edition of Fish, Omega-3 and Human Health reaffirms that the essential fatty acids in the foods we eat form hormones that have powerful effects on human life. While many find it hard to believe that a simple change of diet can affect so many aspects of their lives, this book aims to shift prevailing attitudes about the relationship between foods and disease.

Flax seeds are nature’s best source of not one, but TWO essential dietary components most people are lacking due to diets high in refined foods: Omega-3 fatty acids and fiber!
Flax seeds contain:
Lignans, special fiber compounds protect against cancer, especially of the colon, prostate, breast and reproductive system.
Fiber also aids digestive disorders such as constipation and irritable bowel. It is also protective against heart disease and cancer.
Phytoestrogens to balance hormone levels and benefit pms, menopause and other hormonal disorders such as acne.
Omega-3 essential fatty acids to aid in weight loss, to help inflammatory disorders (arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, etc.), reduce risk of heart disease by lowering elevated cholesterol and triglycerides, reducing blood pressure, thinning the blood to help ward off dangerous blood clots. Omega-3 fatty acids are also very important for the brain.
Find out how to use flax seeds (recipes included!) and get on your way back to health! Read more
Managing depression safely, naturally, and without side effects
For years scientists have searched for a treatment to relieve the pain of depression and other mood disorders -- one that's safe enough for nursing mothers, children, and the elderly -- without the side effects associated with medicines like Prozac, Zoloft, and lithium. Thanks to Dr. Andrew Stoll's groundbreaking research, that search may well be over.
Stoll found that omega-3 fatty acids, already known for their importance in preventing heart disease, Crohn's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and cancer, also play a crucial role in mental health. They regulate and enhance mood, sharpen memory, and even aid concentration and learning. Though these remarkable substances are abundant in common fish oils and other foods, the average Western diet includes far too few of the most common sources. Fortunately, our deficient diets and attendant depression can be reversed. The Omega-3 Connection provides readers with all the information they need to restore their natural balance of omega-3 fatty acids, including
A must-read for anyone dealing with depression, The Omega-3 Connection by Andrew L. Stoll, M.D., strikes yet another blow against the standard American diet. We already know that years of noshing on highly processed foods have saddled us with sky-high rates of heart disease, obesity, and related conditions. But, as we're starting to understand now, our eating habits may also be subtly altering our brain chemistry, leaving us vulnerable to anxiety disorders and depression. Only in this case, it's not just what we're eating--it's what we're not eating: foods containing omega-3 essential fatty acids--the "good fats" that help maintain optimal brain function.
In his book, Stoll, the director of the psychopharmacology research lab at Boston's McLean Hospital and assistant professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, suggests that restoring our body's natural balance of omega-3s may help alleviate (and prevent) many types of depression--even for those who don't respond to traditional antidepressants. Omega-3s may also prove helpful with other problems, such as the inability to handle stress, memory loss, and cognitive decline. The book contains a "renewal plan" designed to help readers put Stoll's concepts into practice, recipes for omega-3-rich dishes, advice for choosing supplements, and dosages for therapeutic use.
Although Stoll is quick with the caveat that much of the research on omega-3s and brain function is still evolving, he makes a compelling case for using these fats to regulate depression and other cognitive disorders. Along with major epidemiological evidence that shows lower rates of depression in those cultures that consume a great deal of omega-3s, Stoll's own studies indicate that boosting their intake can reduce depression symptoms. And Stoll cites stacks of additional studies suggesting that omega-3s can also help with major depression, schizophrenia, and postpartum depression. Going even further, Stoll makes a strong argument that omega-3 deficiency could be contributing to rising rates of teen violence and attention deficit disorders.
Of course, depression should never be treated without physician supervision. But in laying the groundwork for the omega-3s to emerge as the next big thing in natural depression therapy, Stoll certainly gives us food for thought. --Norine Dworkin Read more
A nutritional whodunit that takes readers from Greenland to Africa to Israel, The Queen of Fats gives a fascinating account of how we have become deficient in a nutrient that is essential for good health: the fatty acids known as omega-3s. Writing with intelligence and passion, Susan Allport tells the story of these vital fats, which are abundant in greens and fish, among other foods. She describes how scientists came to understand the role of omega-3s in our diet, why commercial processing has removed them from the food we eat, and what the tremendous consequences have been for our health. In many Western countries, epidemics of inflammatory diseases and metabolic disorders have been traced to omega-3 deficiencies. The Queen of Fats provides information for every consumer who wants to reduce the risk of heart disease, cancer, arthritis, and obesity and to improve brain function and overall health. This important and compelling investigation into the discovery, science, and politics of omega-3s will transform our thinking about what we should be eating.
* Includes steps you can take to add omega-3s to your diet
* Shows why eating fish is not the only way, or even the best way, to increase omega-3s.
* Provides a new way to understand the complex advice about the role and importance of fats in the body
* Explains how and why the food industry has created a deadly imbalance of fats in our foods
* Shows how omega-3s can be reintroduced to our diet through food enrichment and changes in the feeding of livestock Read more
The Omega-3 Miracle is the secret to longevity. The people of Iceland have less heart disease, high blood pressure and stroke than those of any other country. In fact, they outlive all other nationalities. Their longevity is a direct result of their daily intake of omega3 rich fish oils. The American Heart Association recommends omega3 fatty acids to help prevent cardiovascular disease and stroke. Omega3s inhibit plaque and blood clots and dramatically improve cholesterol levels. They also increase brain function by promoting neurotransmission in the brain. With research from over 20 leading medical and scientific journals, Drs. Garry Gordon and Herb JoinerBey reveal how the good fats found in omega3s from fish and pharmaceuticalgrade supplements are essential to maintaining optimum health. The only way your body can get these vital essential fatty acids is through proper nutrition and supplementation. The Omega3 Miracle shows you how. Clinical and scientific studies in both Europe and the U.S. show that omega3 fatty acids benefit a wide range of conditions including: Cardiovascular Disease High Cholesterol Lowering Triglycerides High Blood Pressure Arthritis Diabetes Bipolar Disorder ADHD Chronic Inflammation Cancer This is your definitive guide on how to maximize your health and longevity with omega3.
