A tomato-rich diet may help protect at-risk postmenopausal women from breast cancer, according to new research accepted for publication in The Endocrine Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism.
Vitamins, Minerals Reduce AIDS Mortality
December 17, 2013
Twenty-six years ago, I worked with a client (woman, late 20s) who was HIV positive. She was a heavy drinker and drug user, a smoker, had a terrible diet, and a series of bad personal relationships. Her health was deteriorating. Desperate, she decreased her drug and alcohol use. She still smoked, ate a poor diet, and was under great stress. She took multivitamin/multimineral supplements irregularly. But she took a lot of vitamin C very regularly, for over two decades. Twenty-six years later, doctors cannot detect HIV in her system. They now say that she never had it. She did. She probably still does. But they cannot find it. She has no symptoms.
Vitamin D doses closer to 1,000 IU per day may be needed to lessen bone loss in postmenopausal women, says a new study from the UK.
A nearly 20-year observational study involving more than 44,700 black women nationwide found that regular vigorous exercise offers significant protection against development of an aggressive subtype of breast cancer.

Painful periods (primary dysmenorrhea) afflict approximately 25% of all women, with estimates for adolescents reaching as high as 90%. Given the prevalence of this disabling condition, and that treatment usually involves NSAID drugs and sometimes oral contraceptives - both of which have serious, even life-threatening side effects - natural alternatives are desperately needed. So what better place to look than your spice rack, which an under reported body of clinical research indicates may offer solutions at least as effective as drugs. There are no less than three clinical studies in the medical literature comparing fennel to the NSAID drug mefenamic acid for the treatment of painful periods in women.
A study led by Madhwa Raj, PhD, Research Professor in Obstetrics and Gynecology at LSU Health Sciences Center New Orleans and its Stanley S. Scott Cancer Center, has found that a super cocktail of six natural compounds in vegetables, fruits, spices and plant roots killed 100% of sample breast cancer cells without toxic side effects on normal cells. The results, which also revealed potential treatment target genes, are published in the November 2013 issue of The Journal of Cancer.
Comment: Nutrient synergy approaches like this are the future of medicine. A novel, scientifically based concept that has been introduced and successfully applied by Dr. Rath, Dr. Niedzwiecki and their research team, the nutrient synergy approach is based on the fact that micronutrients work in the body by forming teams. This allows for achieving greater biological effects than when single nutrients are used, even in high doses. For maximum synergistic effect, it is necessary to select the correct nutrients and combine them in the right proportions. To access a wide variety of studies on the health benefits of nutrients from plants, visit the phytobiologicals.com website.

Adequate vitamin D levels are important for maintaining kidney transplant recipients' health, according to a study that will be presented at ASN Kidney Week 2013 November 5-10 at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, GA.
Comment: In the area of cardiovascular medicine, no medical procedure was more celebrated than the first heart transplant carried out by South African physician Christian Barnard, M.D. Today, however, we know that the correct way to treat heart failure is not by replacing the organ but by refueling it with bioenergy in the form of cellular micronutrients. To all intents and purposes, treating heart failure with a heart transplant operation is like replacing your car engine when you simply ran out of fuel. To learn how kidney disease can be treated naturally, visit the Online Library on the World Health Alphabetization website.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease -- a health problem in which the lungs lose their inherent springiness, making it progressively harder to breathe -- can have a dramatic effect on the ability to exercise and even perform simple activities of daily life because of the disease's fallout effects on skeletal muscles.
In a large prospective study published online in the British Journal of Cancer, researchers looked at the association between nut consumption and risk of pancreatic cancer among 75,680 women in the Nurses' Health Study, with no previous history of cancer. Consumption of nuts, including tree nuts (such as almonds, Brazil nuts, cashews, hazelnuts, macadamias, pecans, pine nuts, pistachios and walnuts), was inversely associated with risk of pancreatic cancer, independent of other potential risk factors for pancreatic cancer.

Researchers say supplement cuts muscle loss in knee replacements
October 25, 2013
Twenty grams of essential amino acids taken twice daily for a week before and for two weeks after knee-replacement surgeries helped 16 patients, mean age 69, recover faster and with much less muscle atrophy than a control group ingesting a placebo..
Melatonin, B-Vitamins and Amino Acids Show Promise for Reflux Disease
October 24, 2013
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is a condition where the muscle connecting the esophagus to the stomach does not close properly. Stomach contents leak back up into the esophagus, causing heartburn and acid indigestion. An estimated 44% of US adults experience GERD symptoms monthly, costing our healthcare system $24 billion per year. Ways to help with GERD include increasing fiber intake as well as fruits and vegetables. Now a new study has found that melatonin, B-vitamins and amino acids may also help.
EPA stands alone as a depression fighter
October 22, 2013
Omega 3s have been studied for their effect on cognitive health for decades. The science linking EPA with this health indication is less well developed than that for DHA, but new results are coming to the fore all the time, experts say.
Comment: Recent research and clinical studies confirm that essential micronutrients such as EPA, DHA, vitamin D and Curcumin are effective in fighting depression. To learn more, visit the Online Library on the World Health Alphabetization website.
Regular moderate to vigorous exercise improves teens' academic performance, and particularly seems to help girls do better in science, indicates research published online in the British Journal of Sports Medicine.

Improved understanding of the roles of inflammation and oxidative stress in psychiatric disorders has generated new leads in the search for novel therapies. One such investigative compound currently in clinical trials is an amino acid, N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC), which appears to reduce the core symptoms of bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, depression, autism and cravings in addictions including cocaine, cannabis abuse and cigarette smoking.
Physical activity is potentially as effective as many drug interventions for patients with existing coronary heart disease and stroke, suggests a review of evidence published in BMJ today.
Comment: Dr. Rath's discovery reveals that coronary heart disease occurs for exactly the same reason that clinical (early) scurvy does – a deficiency of vitamin C in the cells composing the artery wall. Humans, unlike animals, develop heart disease because their bodies cannot produce vitamin C. The average diet provides enough vitamin C to prevent scurvy, but not enough to guarantee stable artery walls. As a consequence of vitamin C deficiency, millions of tiny cracks and lesions develop in the artery walls. Subsequently, cholesterol, lipoproteins and other blood risk factors enter the damaged artery walls to repair these lesions. In the case of chronic vitamin deficiency, this repair process becomes continuous. Over the course of many years, atherosclerotic deposits develop. Deposits in the arteries of the heart eventually lead to heart attack; deposits in the arteries of the brain lead to stroke. To learn how cardiovascular disease can be eradicated naturally, visit the Dr. Rath Research Institute website and read Dr. Rath's groundbreaking book, Why Animals Don't Get Heart Attacks...But People Do!
Increased blood levels of vitamin K1 are associated with improved episodic memory in healthy older adults, says a new study that provides support for vitamin K and brain health.
A groundbreaking new study published in Pakistan Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences has revealed that garlic is at least as effective as the blockbuster blood pressure lowering drug atenolol in reducing systolic and diastolic blood pressure in patients diagnosed with essential hypertension, a condition linked to the #1 cause of death in developed countries.
Insomnia is characterized by a number of sleep-related problems, including an inability to initiate or maintain sleep and early morning awakening due to an inability to resume sleeping. Insomnia often manifests as excessive daytime sleepiness, frequently resulting in functional impairment throughout the day. Insomnia is estimated to cost our healthcare system more than $60 billion per year, robbing each American of 11.3 days of work each year. Statistics show the prevalence of insomnia to be as high as 40-50% of elderly people older than 60 years of age. This is of significant concern because memory weakness and increased reaction time caused by insomnia put the elderly at higher risk for falling, cognitive impairments, weak physical function, and a nearly 3 times higher risk of mortality. Finally, insomnia frequently results in decreased quality of life and general health and increased health costs, stress, and depression. Now a new study suggests that magnesium supplementation may be an affordable and effective way to help improve sleep quality.
New evidence suggests that taking vitamin B supplements may help reduce the risk of stroke. The research appears in the September 18, 2013, online issue of Neurology, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.
Comment: Every second man and woman in the industrialized world dies from the consequences of atherosclerotic deposits in the coronary arteries (leading to heart attack) or in the arteries supplying blood to the brain (leading to stroke). The epidemic spread of these cardiovascular problems is largely due to the fact that, until now, the true nature of atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease has been insufficiently understood. To learn how cardiovascular diseases can be eradicated naturally, visit the Cellular Health section on our Foundation website and read chapter 2 of Dr. Rath's groundbreaking book, Why Animals Don't Get Heart Attacks...But People Do!
Supplemental resveratrol should be considered as an adjunct to standard anti-diabetic agents in the treatment of type 2 diabetes, according to two studies conducted at the University of Medical Sciences in Iran and JSS University in India.
Comment: Worldwide, more than 100 million people suffer from diabetes. Diabetic disorders have a genetic background and are divided into two types: juvenile and adult. Juvenile diabetes is generally caused by a genetic defect that leads to an insufficient production of insulin in the body and requires regular insulin injections to control blood sugar levels. The majority of diabetic patients, however, develop this disease as adults. Adult forms of diabetes also have a genetic background. However, the causes that trigger the outbreak of the disease in these patients at any stage in their adult lives have been unknown. It is, therefore, not surprising that diabetes is yet another disease that is still growing on a global scale. To learn how diabetes can be eradicated naturally, visit the Cellular Health section of our Foundation website. To learn more about the health benefits of specific plant compounds such as resveratrol, visit the phytobiologicals.com website.
'Timely' research: Higher omega-3 levels linked to lower risk of depressive symptoms

Comment: Recent research and clinical studies suggest that omega-3 fatty acids and other micronutrients are effective in fighting depression. To learn more, visit the Online Library on the World Health Alphabetization website.
An estimated 5 million Americans over the age of 50 suffer from dry eye. Dry eye (keratoconjunctivitis sicca) occurs when the body cannot properly produce tears to lubricate the eye or when the surface of the eye becomes inflamed or irritated. Because omega-3 fatty acids and omega-6 fatty acids are anti-inflammatory, they were used in a study to determine if supplementation might help chronic dry eye.
Comment: Clinical studies and scientific research have documented the paramount importance of micronutrients and nutrition in maintaining eye health. To learn more, visit the Worldwide Studies and Research page on our Foundation website.
Heart failure is a serious condition that occurs when the heart cannot pump enough blood or oxygen to support other organs in the body. The condition affects around 5.7 million people in the U.S. and costs the nation $34.4 billion yearly (healthcare services, medications and lost productivity). Recent research has found that supplementing a combination of coenzyme Q10 and selenium for two years decreased the deterioration of cardiac function and cardiac death in participants with moderate heart failure.
Down syndrome fetuses dramatically benefit when their mothers increase their intake of the nutrient choline during pregnancy and nursing, report Cornell researchers in the journal Neurobiology of Disease.

Are you walking into rooms but can't remember why? Staring into the refrigerator and wondering what you needed? Forgetting familiar phone numbers? Maybe an orange or a carrot would help. A study from the University of Ulm suggests that people with mild dementia – an early sign of Alzheimer's Disease – have significantly lower blood concentrations of vitamin C and beta-carotene than their healthy counterparts. The researchers suggest it might be possible to influence the development of Alzheimer's Disease by your diet or by taking dietary antioxidants.
Comment: Scientific research and clinical studies have clearly shown the health benefits of a wide variety of micronutrients in fighting Alzheimer's disease. To learn more, visit the Online Library on the World Health Alphabetization website and the Worldwide Studies and Research on our Foundation website.
The cost of treatment for patients with low back pain is a worldwide health problem. The cost of all back pain in the United States is $240 billion and low back pain exceeds $100 billion per year, two-thirds of which are a result of lost wages and reduced productivity. While alternative healthcare options like chiropractic are cost-effective (patients with low back pain who sought chiropractic care first had 40% lower health care costs compared to medical care), a new study suggests that alpha lipoic acid and SOD (superoxide dismutase) may be a cost-effective way to help those with low back pain.
Quercetin is one of the most abundant of a type of antioxidants, called flavonoids. It is present in a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, and berries and shown to possess a number of healthful properties, most notably as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. Now a new study suggests that quercetin combined with vitamin C may improve both inflammation and cell damage levels.
Comment: For maximum synergistic effect in both preventative and disease treatment situations, it is necessary to select the correct nutrients and combine them in the right proportions. This is because micronutrients work in the body by forming nutrient synergy teams which allow for achieving greater biological effects than is the case for single nutrients acting independently. To learn more about studies on the health benefits of quercetin and other specific plant components, visit the phytobiologicals.com website.
Dietary B vitamins may have favorable effects on blood pressure according to a "nutrient-wide" statistical study published by the American Heart Association.

Supplements of vitamin E tocotrienol in combination with antioxidant polyphenols and niacin may improve inflammatory markers and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease in seniors, says a recent clinical trial.
Comment: This clinical trial essentially confirms the effectiveness of the nutrient synergy approach pioneered by Dr. Rath and Dr. Aleksandra Niedzwiecki, which is based on the principle that the health benefits of micronutrients are maximized when combined in "teams." The nutrient synergy approach allows for achieving greater biological effects than would be possible using any single nutrient acting independently. For maximum synergistic effect, it is necessary to select the proper nutrients and combine them in the right proportions. Two of the plant components used in this clinical trial – resveratrol and quercetin – are particularly notable in that they have been shown to offer important health benefits. To learn more, visit the phytobiologicals.com website.
Consuming green tea may improve blood sugar management, according to a meta-analysis of 17 randomized clinical trials.
Comment: Conventional medicine concedes that the causes of high blood pressure are unknown in over 90% of patients. The frequent medical diagnosis "essential hypertension" was therefore established to describe high blood pressure conditions in which the causes remain unknown. As such, conventional, pharmaceutical-oriented medicine is confined to treating the symptoms of this disease. Beta-blockers, diuretics and other high blood pressure medications artificially lower the blood pressure (symptom-oriented approach) without correcting the primary underlying problem — a "spasm" of the blood vessel wall. However, by following the Cellular Medicine approach, high blood pressure can be eradicated naturally. Further information on studies using natural health approaches to control high blood pressure can be found on the Studies Worldwide page on our Foundation website.
The potential brain health benefits of increased intake of DHA at birth may take several years to emerge, according to data from a small cohort of children.

Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain syndrome that can be accompanied by fatigue, headache, sleep disturbances, and depression. Despite the fact that it affects up to 2% of Americans at a cost of $5,945 per patient each year, the cause of fibromyalgia has yet to be found. Research has started to suggest that cell damage by free radicals and improper function of the energy-making component of the cell, the mitochondrion, may contribute to the onset of fibromyalgia. Now a new randomized double blind study suggests that Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) may benefit patients with fibromyalgia.

There is actually a wide spectrum of medical uses for vitamin C. Evidence exists documenting it as the best antiviral agent now available ... IF used at the proper dose. Vitamin C can neutralize and eliminate a wide range of toxins. Vitamin C will enhance host resistance, greatly augmenting the immune system's ability to neutralize bacterial and fungal infections. Now the National Institutes of Health has published evidence demonstrating vitamin C's anti-cancer properties. With so many medical benefits, why do so few doctors know of them?
Comment: Scientific interest in the use of vitamin C for the control of cancer has been growing for some years now. In a study published in the prestigious Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America in September 2005, scientists at the National Institutes of Health confirmed that vitamin C selectively kills cancer cells. In this respect, their work confirmed the discoveries of Dr. Rath and his research team who, over three years earlier, had presented their findings at the 19th Annual Miami Breast Cancer Conference in Florida and published details of their scientific breakthrough in 'USA Today'. Subsequently, in 2006, the Journal of the Canadian Medical Association followed up on this research when it published details of two cancer patients who had been cured using intravenous vitamin C and nutritional supplements. A third cancer patient who had followed a similar treatment regimen lived for seven years from diagnosis, the majority of which time she remained cancer-free despite being a long-standing cigarette smoker. Significantly, therefore, recent research confirms that high dose intravenous ascorbate treatments may reduce inflammation in cancer patients and that they are safe and well-tolerated.

Preterm infants may need to be given 800 international units (IU) of vitamin D a day to ensure they develop strong bones, according to a study to be presented Sunday, May 5, at the Pediatric Academic Societies (PAS) annual meeting in Washington, DC.
Pregnant women are advised not to smoke during pregnancy because it can harm the baby's lungs and lead to wheezing and asthma, among other problems. If a woman absolutely can't kick the habit, taking vitamin C during pregnancy may improve her newborn's lung function and prevent wheezing in the first year of life, according to a study to be presented Saturday, May 4, at the Pediatric Academic Societies (PAS) annual meeting in Washington, DC.
Comment: Amongst the wide variety of serious health problems that smoking causes, it also dramatically increases the risk for cardiovascular disease. The underlying reason for this is that cigarette smoke contains millions of free radicals, which are aggressive molecules that damage the cells of our blood vessels and other organs and accelerate biological rusting. Free radicals and other toxic substances in cigarette smoke reach the bloodstream via the lungs and can damage the blood vessel pipeline along its entire length of 60,000 miles. In the body's defense against these aggressive molecules, antioxidants are used up. Among all antioxidants, vitamin C is the first one to be destroyed. With the body's vitamin reserves thus depleted, cardiovascular disease starts in the blood vessel system — just as in early scurvy. For anybody who smokes, therefore, it is definitely worth the effort to stop.
Daily supplements of Pycnogenol, an extract from the bark of the French maritime pine, may help reduce health risk factors associated with metabolic syndrome, suggests new data from a human study.

Vitamin D supplements significantly reduced blood pressure in the first large controlled study of African-Americans, researchers report in the American Heart Association journal Hypertension.
Comment: Modern Cellular Medicine provides a breakthrough in our understanding of the causes, prevention and adjunct treatment of high blood pressure. The main cause of high blood pressure is a chronic deficiency of essential nutrients in millions of artery wall cells. Among other functions, these cells are responsible for the availability of "relaxing factors" (nitric oxide), which decrease vascular wall tension and keep the blood pressure in normal range. The natural amino acid arginine, vitamin C and other components of Dr. Rath's Cellular Health recommendations contribute to the optimum availability of these artery wall relaxing factors. In contrast, chronic deficiency of these essential nutrients can result in spasms and a thickening of the blood vessel walls, which can eventually elevate blood pressure.

Which? has named a £549 Marks & Spencer (M&S) TV as one of the worst HDTVs we've tested this year.
M&S has spent years building a brand name associated with quality products, so we were surprised to see it giving its name to such a badly performing TV.
The sound quality of the 3210DVB, a 32-inch LCD set with built-in digital Freeview, is barely acceptable. But that's not as bad as its standard-definition pictures – described as 'hideous' and 'ugly' by our expert viewing panel. The jerky high-definition images manage the distinction of being the worst of any HDTV we've tested this year.
Of all the TVs we've tested recently, it's also one of the most awkward to use, because of its unintuitive on-screen menus, an illogical remote and a long-winded EPG.
Our first sample broke down and the replacement developed a fault, too. Our advice? Stick to the M&S food hall and don't buy this awful TV.

Do you know Javvad yet?
To some he is a security professional. To others he is @j4vv4d. Others may remember him as The InfoSec Cynic.
And here he is in his own words and images:
Mild-mannered security consultant at www.Quantainia.com by day, Cynical Superhero by night. All opinions are of my alter-ego.
In whichever form you have come across Javvad , and if you haven't yet then you need to look him up through those links above, then you will know that he is a top bloke who knows his stuff and has a great sense of humour. He also has his own web site…
Over at j4vv4d.com is where you can find Javvad's alter-ego, the cynical superhero.
Javvad's personal web site is a great security resource and I can say, in total honesty, that it is one of the first places I check in my feed reader each morning.. One of the best parts, to my mind at least, is the fact that he gets his points across in a very different way to how most security professionals do. And thats via images and, moreso, videos.
You needn't feel intimidated by the fact that he knows so much though as his videos are very easy to understand, as you can see from this recent one about passwords:
Of course the point to Javvad's videos, a point lost on the guy who commented on the one above on YouTube, is that they are designed for people like you so that you can grasp the basics and understand the key points, as well as ask questions and/or start a discussion.
Have you interacted with Javvad yet?
Hes a great guy (I know; I've met him) and he'll make you laugh or smile whilst teaching you the essentials about security in an easy to understand manner.

Men's Team
Blow as Silva ruled out of Palace clash
Manuel Pellegrini confirmed that four players will miss City's trip to Selhurst Park on Saturday.
Pablo Zabaleta, Gael Clichy and Fabian Delph were known injury concerns going into the manager's pre-match press conference but David Silva's is a new name added to the list of casualties.
It's a blow for City to lose a man who has arguably been the Premier League's best player after four rounds.
There was better news when it came to Bacary Sagna who limped out of France's friendly win over Serbia last week as Manuel confirmed that the in-form full-back is 100% fit.
Manuel said: "The injury list is Zabaleta, he has a problem with his knee and Gael Clichy. Also, Fabian Delph has a hamstring injury. Those three and David Silva has a kick in his ankle.
"Silva is out for tomorrow as I think it would be a risk for him to take another knock. I hope he will be OK for Juventus.
"Fabian worked with us before he went to his national squad – he worked without problems and he played some minutes with our team. It's very unlucky to have that injury but it happens.
"I don't know how long Fabian will be out - we'll see. I think at this moment it will be a month and a half."
Manuel also hinted that Kevin De Bruyne could make his debut at Selhurst Park in the absence of Silva.
The club's newest recruit shone for Belgium in the international break and Pellegrini was eager to express his delight at the signing of the former Wolfsburg man.
"Kevin is an important player, like Raheem, he has characteristics we need," Manuel told journalists.
"His position is easy to settle in our team. He will be a very important player for us. He's in the squad list, we'll see tomorrow whether he starts.
"He's a young player and he's improved a lot since he was last in the Premier League. I always say that when good players arrive into a good team with good players, I think that they will continue to improve and that's why he's here.
"It's not the best way to arrive to go into international duty but these things happen, he must play for the Belgium team.
"In his position it's easier to settle in – it's more difficult when you're a defender, it's different work.
"I spoke with him during the week, we work a couple of days and he's seen what the team is doing.
"I think that he can play in all three positions, on the wings or as a striker with no problems."
As for Nicolas Otamendi, Manuel revealed that the defender now has a work permit and is eligible to play but suggested that it may be a little while before we see the Argentine defender in action while he takes time to get used to City's system.
"Otamendi is ready to play – he didn't work too much with us as he as away with Argentina," he revealed.
"Before that, we needed the work permit so he travelled to Spain. His position is more difficult to start playing straightaway but he's 100% and he will play soon."
On the Manager of the Month award he won earlier today, Manuel was typically humble, dedicating the prize to his players.
He added: "In this profession, you always depend on the performance of the players. It's always nice to get those trophies but it's for the players too."

Faith, National Monument to the Forefathers, Hallowell, 1877
Contributed by Hubbard Free Library
Purchase a reproduction of this item on VintageMaineImages.com.
Faith, the central figure on the National Monument to the Forefathers in Plymouth, Massachusetts, is 36 feet tall.
Statuary cutter Joseph Archie stands on Faith's outstretched arm. He was the primary cutter and Italian immigrant, Prostasio Neri, supervised the carving of base statues Morality, Education, Law and Liberty. Although the statue appears solid, it was carved in sections and most likely transported to Plymouth in one of the two large ships owned by the Hallowell Granite Works.
The photo was taken in the cutting yard on Franklin Street and the one-time steeple of the Baptist church can be seen in the background.

Singing Therapy Helps Stroke Patients Regain Language
Doctors at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, Massachusetts, are studying the profound effect music has on people who have had a stroke using Melodic Intonation Therapy, which plays singing tones with the patient and having them repeat words and phrases to the sound of the tones. The sessions teach patients several hundred words or phrases, and have helped numerous people, who were previously nonverbal, communicate their daily needs. "Music, and music-making, is really a very special form of a tool or an intervention that can be used to treat neurological disorders," said Dr. Gottfried Schlaug, associate professor of neurology at Beth Israel and Harvard University. "There's rarely any other activity that could really activate or engage this many regions of the brain that is experienced as being a joyous activity."
