The Most Promising Cancer-Fighter In Years
For a while now, I’ve been recommending a powerful antioxidant with the unpronounceable name, pyrroloquinoline quinine – or PQQ for short.
And although I recommend this compound to almost everyone who comes to see me at my wellness clinic in South Florida because of its energy-giving qualities, I’ve also observed its extraordinary power to fight cancer.
For years, I’ve seen PQQ work wonders with my older patients, because it keeps you feeling young by giving your cells extra energy.
PQQ was first discovered back in 1979 by a team of Japanese scientists, who knew little about the substance, except that i...

Increasing vitamin D levels to help prevent osteoporosis
One of the risk factors contributing to an increased likelihood of developing osteoporosis is a lack of vitamin D. As we all know we get most of it from being exposed to sunlight for a small portion of every day; however here in the UK that’s difficult during the winter months in particular as the light often isn’t strong enough and the cold reduces our willingness to expose our bare skin.
However, there are some alternative ways to get Vitamin D from your diet and below you’ll find a list of the top ten foods providing a really good source of vitamin D that is easily digested and absorbed. I’ve als...

1980s fat guidelines 'lacked evidence,' study argues
Conclusion
This research found the pooled results of six RCTs available prior to 1983, which all looked at interventions to moderate saturated fat intake, did not find this had an effect on deaths from heart disease or any other cause.
But it is very important that the specific purpose of this review is considered, and the findings are interpreted in the right context.
This review specifically looked at nutrition guidance given in the US in 1977 and in 1983 in the UK. In particular, the researchers looked at two recommendations:
reduce overall fat consumption to 30% of total energy intake
reduce saturated fat c...

Concerns over chemicals in food packaging misplaced, say scientists

Fish oil could soon come from GM crop
Oils could provide feed for farmed fish and ultimately be used as a health supplement in human foods such as margarineA genetically-modified plant that produces seeds packed with fish oils is set to be grown in open fields in the UK within months, scientists announced on Friday. The oils could provide feed for farmed fish, the researchers hope, but they could ultimately be used as a health supplement in human foods such as margarine.Fish oils – specifically omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids – have been shown to cut the risk of cardiovascular disease and are a popular food supplement. But about 80% of the f...

America's GM backlash should give Britain food for thought | Peter Melchett
American consumers and farmers are rejecting a technology they once embraced. Let's not make the same mistakesThe election of a leftwing mayor in New York is not the only thing changing in the US after decades of pro-big business policies. Genetically modified crops and food have had an easy ride in the US, with no official safety testing, thanks to the influence of GM companies on the George W Bush and Barack Obama administrations.Most US consumers say they want genetically modified food labelled (it isn't) and believe that they don't eat GM food (they do). November popular ballots to require GM food to be labelled were n...

Hysterectomy Runied My Life – Lydia’s Story
My hysterectomy ruined my life. I was given the option of having a full hysterectomy including ovaries removed as a precautionary measure when I had a potentially cancerous cyst at the age of 42. The alternative would have been to have the cyst removed and potentially have a second operation if it proved to be cancerous. I was warned that if I had a full hysterectomy I would have to go on HRT which brought a risk of cancer similar to that of taking the pill. I was given a leaflet that told me I would be able to have sex normally after a hysterectomy.
There followed two and a half years of chronic fatigue. I felt like a com...
