We really do need health reform in this country. Instead of treating disease after it occurs we need to develop programs that prevent disease and therefore give us a better overall life for a longer period of time.
Does it makes sense to wait until your car breaks down before you maintain it?
Would you be considered smart to wait until your roof leaks before you repair it?
Do you wait until your checking account goes below zero before you add more funds?
In most every other area of life most people make preventative decisions that keep them from harms way. But when it comes to health we are taught by modern medicine to wait until we show signs of disease and then begin to treat it. It is a ridiculous position if you actually stop to think about it.
Perhaps it is because people still think there is no science behind supplementation and eating the right diet. I do my best every week to educate you otherwise and to think prevention.
NSI updated their Synergy Cardio Multi recently and I really like it. It contains many of the nutrients that I blog on all the time in therapeutic amounts and it is affordable for most everyone. For about $1.30 a day you can have incredible protection.
Take a look at this new product and see what I mean.

Cancer Preventive Properties Identified In Resveratrol, Found In Red Wine, Red Grapes...
Early laboratory research has shown that resveratrol, a common dietary supplement, suppresses the abnormal cell formation that leads to most types of breast cancer, suggesting a potential role for the agent in breast cancer prevention. Resveratrol is a natural substance found in red wine and red grapes. It is sold in extract form as a dietary supplement at most major drug stores.
Is Your Health Condition Linked to This Deficiency?...
“Stay out of the sun.” This dictate has become a cardinal rule of anti-aging, and chances are good that you’ve heard it from your doctor more than once. But recently, the medical community has started to reconsider this particular issue, and the reason can be traced directly back to calciferol—better known as vitamin D. It’s impossible to overstate the importance of adequate vitamin D intake. Years ago, scientists lauded it for its critical role in bone health. Today, however, we know that vitamin D might actually be the single most important vitamin in your body.
Is Vitamin C Harmful to Cancer Patients?...
In a recent presentation at the American Cancer Society meeting, Dr. David Golde of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center speculated that supplemental vitamin C may be harmful to cancer patients. Dr. Golde had previously shown how vitamin C gets into and accumulates in cancer cells. Golde and others are concerned that the extra vitamin C in cancer cells may enhance their growth or protect them from the cell-killing free radicals produced by radiation and some chemotherapeutic drugs.
The "Peanut Butter Diet": Heart-Healthy Alternative To Olive Oil...
ScienceDaily (Nov. 23, 1999) — Cholesterol-lowering, low fat diets have abounded in recent years in the quest to reduce the risk of heart disease, the most familiar being the American Heart Association's "Step II" diet, which confines dietary fat to less than 25% of calories and replaces the lost fat with carbohydrates. But recent research into the effects of monounsaturated fats (MUFAs, found in olive and certain other oils) suggests that low fat may not necessarily be the best way to ensure a healthy heart. Kris-Etherton and her colleagues at Pennsylvania State University made an across-the-board comparison of three diets: the Step II diet (25% fat), a diet high in MUFAs ( 34-36% fat), and the average American diet (34% fat). The high MUFA diets decreased cardiovascular risk by an average of 20.6%, versus a 12% reduction in risk for the Step II diet.
Vitamin C Lowers Levels Of Inflammation Biomarker Considered Predictor Of Heart Disease...
ScienceDaily (Nov. 14, 2008) — A new study led by researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, adds to the evidence that vitamin C supplements can lower concentrations of C-reactive protein (CRP), a central biomarker of inflammation that has been shown to be a powerful predictor of heart disease and diabetes. The same study found no benefit from daily doses of vitamin E, another antioxidant.
Black raspberries slow cancer by altering hundreds of genes...
New research strongly suggests that a mix of preventative agents, such as those found in concentrated black raspberries, may more effectively inhibit cancer development than single agents aimed at shutting down a particular gene. Researchers at the Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center examined the effect of freeze-dried black raspberries on genes altered by a chemical carcinogen in an animal model of esophageal cancer. The carcinogen affected the activity of some 2,200 genes in the animals’ esophagus in only one week, but 460 of those genes were restored to normal activity in animals that consumed freeze-dried black raspberry powder as part of their diet during the exposure.
93 Percent of Women with Infertility are Deficient in Vitamin D...
A new study conducted at Yale University School of Medicine reveals that vitamin D deficiency is strongly correlated with infertility. (Most likely, it causes infertility.) And rather than infertile women being pumped full of chemicals for conventional infertility treatments, what they really need is safe, simple, low-cost vitamin D. Of course, infertility treatment centers can't charge women $20,000 for vitamin D (like they do for in-vitro fertilization procedures), so they don't recommend it. They'd rather women remain vitamin D deficient so they can keep selling them expensive infertility treatments. Vitamin D is, without question, the miracle nutrient of the century.
Breast Cancer Rates Soar after Mammograms and Some Cancers may Heal Naturally...
A report just published in the Journal of the American Medical Association’s Archives of Internal Medicine (Arch Intern Med. 2008;168[21]:2302-2303) reaches a startling conclusion. Breast cancer rates increased significantly in four Norwegian counties after women there began getting mammograms every two years. In fact, according to background information in the study, the start of screening mammography programs throughout Europe has been associated with increased incidence of breast cancer.
Micronutrient Deficiency Responsible for Cancer and other Diseases, Proclaims Scientist ...
Deficiencies in micronutrients arising from a high-calorie, nutrient-poor diet may be responsible for many modern health problems from cancer to obesity, a health researcher has proclaimed.
Ames told a meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science that a diet rich in junk food, which has lots of calories but few vitamins and minerals, forces to body to enter a "crisis mode," designed to keep the body alive over the short term. The problem is that this leads the body to neglect its own long-term survival, including tasks such as repairing regular DNA damage and maintaining a healthy immune system."DNA damage increases deficiency of each of the 15 micronutrients that have been examined in humans, primary human cells in culture or in rodents," Ames said. "These deficiencies are associated with cancer."
NCI's Flawed SELECT Study Attacks Vitamin E...
The National Cancer Institute's (NCI) SELECT study (Selenium and Vitamin E Cancer Prevention Trial) for prostate cancer in men was halted this week after initial data analysis showed that selenium and vitamin E, taken alone or together for an average of five years, did not prevent prostate cancer. Since the goal of SELECT was to prove a 25% risk reduction, and since early data suggested such a result was unlikely, the trial was stopped. Furthermore, the researchers felt that there were non-statistically significant possible risks: "there were slightly more cases of prostate cancer in men taking only vitamin E and slightly more cases of diabetes in men taking only selenium. Neither of these findings proves an increased risk from the supplements and may be due to chance."
Carnitines—Better Than Testosterone for Impotence ...
The Italians, it could be said, are in love with amore. Where there’s love, of course, there tends to be sex, so it seems fair to say that Italians have more than a passing interest in mankind’s favorite pastime. All of which may or may not have anything to do with the fact that some recent studies on the subject of sexual function (dysfunction, actually) were conducted by a team of Italian researchers in Ferrara, Bologna, Fermo (Ascoli Piceno), and Rome. Two of the scientists are the inventors of a patented process involving the combined use of two chemical compounds, propionyl-L-carnitine (PLC) and acetyl-L-carnitine (ALC), “for the therapy of symptoms associated with partial androgen deficiency of the aging male.”
