gum diseases red flag to heart diseases

noreply@blogger.com (Glen Brink) — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 22:09:05 PDT

Hello Everyone:

I hope you all are enjoying the Spring season. Seattle is a spectacular city to live in during the Spring season. You see so much color around peoples' homes and the blooming flowers and trees make walking up the street smell so good.

This May E-newsletter is on Dr. Sinatra's article on periodontal diseases. Dr. Sinatra in this article makes an important assumption that I became aware of a few years ago and I wanted all of you to also be aware of it.

Dr. Sinatra's article assumes that there is a strong relationship between periodontal diseases and heart diseases and that the CoEnzyme Q10 supplement can strongly contribute to the health of gums and heart.

My awareness of this relationship started when I visited a holistic Chinese doctor in the past to receive consulting on my chronic eczema condition (back in 1999). He mentioned to me how my gum condition reflects my heart condition.

Holistic Chinese doctors start examining their patients by looking into their mouth. They believe that the condition of the body parts in our mouth reflect the health of our internal body systems. For example, a healthy tongue should be pink in color and should not have a groove in the middle. If your tongue color is mostly white and you can see a deep groove in the middle of your tongue (almost like a deep cut), then the doctor will know that you may have intestinal dysfunction. The deeper the groove on your tongue, the more dysfunctional your intestinal tract will be. In addition, a healthy gum condition reflects a healthy heart. A healthy gum should be pink in color, no receding gum, no ease of bleeding when brushed, no offensive odor, no sensitivity....etc.

Since my awareness of the relationship of gum health to heart health, I always kept my eyes open for scientific information that can confirm the same things my Chinese doctor shared with me but I had not found any written materials on this subject. However, last week I read Dr. Sinatra's article on periodontal diseases and in this article he confirmed what I heard from my Chinese doctor, that gum diseases may be a red flag indicating heart problems.

I hope you will enjoy reading this article as I believe it offers important insights that may allow us to protect one of the most important systems in our body, the cardiovascular system.

Periodontal Disease

Stephen Sinatra, M.D.
The Coenzyme Q10 Phenomenon, pgs. 86-90

While they were taking Coenzyme Q1O to treat their heart disease, many of my patients commented that their gums became healthier. This observation is not surprising since there are many diseases which respond favorably to CoQ1O supplementation. Remember that metabolically active tissues are highly sensitive to a CoQ1O deficiency. And because CoQ1O works at the cellular and biochemical level, it helps promote strong, active and healthy cells whether they are in the heart or in the gums. What happens in your mouth is actually a mirror for your whole body.

For example, when I see patients who have bleeding gums, pus pockets, foul breath and other characteristics of periodontal disease, it suggests to me that they may have underlying heart disease or even cancer. Diseased gums may be a red flag for Q10 deficiency in the mouth and other tissues of the body. Thus, I believe that periodontal disease may be a warning sign for coexisting problems, a virtual tip of the iceberg, revealing vulnerable CoQ1O levels in the body.

This direct relationship has been observed between various degrees of tooth loss and general health. Patients with good dental health had good medical health, while those who had lost considerable numbers of teeth reported histories of poor circulation, heart disease and stroke. This is why it is important for dentists, oral surgeons and periodontists to have direct dialogue sharing their negative findings with their patients' physicians, especially cardiologists. Periodontist Salvatore J. Squatrito, Jr., D.D.S., shared the following letter with his colleagues:

I was introduced to Coenzyme Q10 by Dr. Stephen Sinatra at a hospital staff lecture. The cardiovascular system, especially the heart and the
periodontium, have large quantities of Q 10 in normal situations.
International studies have shown that cardiovascular problems develop with low Q10 levels. Dr. Sinatra asked me to consider the possibility of using Q10 in periodontal treatment to see if Q10 would make a difference in the outcome of periodontal therapy.

Over the years, periodontal therapy has developed a sophistication of treatment and management of contributing factors such as heredity,
diabetes, radiation therapy, various chemotherapy manifestations and other conditions which diminish the movement of the white blood cells in the human system. When I was an Army bacteriologist, I developed an understanding of bacterial infections and antibiotic therapies. I tried a number of different antibacterial therapies during 30 years as a periodontist, only to be disappointed in the lasting effect of this kind of therapy. Antibiotics did not stop the periodontal disease process.

The recurrence of periodontal problems could also not be explained by inadequate plaque control. Many patients continued to be infected by periodontal pathogens no matter how thoroughly or frequently their plaque was removed. High concentrations of tetracycline gave some relief for intermittent periods of time, but over the long course, the penodontium would once again break down.

Now my patients who have refractory periodontitis are treated with C0Q1O. We have been reexamining these patients for approximately a year, and have verified that the bleeding sites are diminished. The patients claim that they are still doing essentially the same plaque control therapy. The refractory periodontitis patients were placed on a regimen of 120 mg of Q10 twice daily. There was no overnight dramatic change, but we see a gradual improvement in the patients' periodontal health verified at our three-month recall reexamination. The areas that previously bled when probed no longer do so. The patients report that their mouths feel generally healthier.
A typical case history of one of the 16 refractory periodontitis patients who was treated with C0Q1O:

C.G. is a 53-year-old male diagnosed as having periodontitis Complex IVA in 1982. Treatment was a full course of scaling, curettage, occlusal adjustment and osseous surgery to reduce the 5 to 10 mm pockets. The healing was slower than normal. For the next 15 years, the patient had three-month periodontal maintenance recalls. During that time, approximately every six months, he had scattered areas of recurrent breakdown treated with antibiotics and additional surgical procedures. A full medical exam with blood tests and glucose analysis were negative.
One year ago, I told him to try Coenzyme Q10, 120 mg twice daily. He presented at this three-month recall with negligible bleeding; he has had no recurrent bony infections requiring surgery and was able to go a year
without more surgery. Additionally, he reported no leg pains after walk-
ing up a few flights of stairs.

I will continue to prescribe CoQ1O for my patients. Its safety is well- documented. I can only attribute the increased health of the gingiva to better health of the periodontal circulatory system due to the C0Q10,

Dr. Squatrito's expertise and clinical observations have helped us realize that gum disease depends not only on the frequency of our teeth being cleaned, brushed or flossed, but also on the state of our immune system, which can be a reflection of C0Q1O deficiencies. Basically, periodontal disease is a bacterial/inflammatory process compounded by inadequate host defense mechanisms.

Periodontitis begins as an infection at the edge of the gums. Bacterial plaque accumulates in the teeth, resulting in local destruction of the connective tissue adjacent to the teeth. The infection advances into a narrow pocket between the gum and the neck of a tooth. Bacterial antigens penetrate these adjacent tissues, initiating an inflammatory response. Gradually, the inflammation spreads to the root membrane, cement and bone, causing irreversible destruction to the bone.

With erosion of these supporting tissues, the teeth gradually loosen.

Research Findings on Periodontal Disease and CoQ10

Patients with periodontal disease have been reported to have lower levels of Coenzyme Q10 in their gingival tissue' and research has reported clinical improvement after CoQ10 supplementation.

Several studies have demonstrated that the oral administration of CoQ1O to patients with periodontal disease was effective in suppressing inflammatory changes in the gingiva as assessed by gingival index, pocket depth and tooth mobility scores.2-6

In an early study by Wilkinson and colleagues, 18 patients with periodontal disease received 50 mg of CoQ1O per day or placebo in a three-week double-blind trial. Clinical improvement in periodontal scores showed that all eight patients receiving CoQ10 improved, compared to only three of ten receiving the placebo.6 A subsequent study by Iwamoto and colleagues was conducted at Hiroshima University Hospital over a 12-week period. Fifty-six patients were engaged in the study; their average age was 42. Patients in this double-blind, controlled study received 60 mg of C0Q1O a day in 20 mg divided doses. The mean score of tooth mobility was significantly lower in the ex- perimental group when compared to the placebo group. It was interesting to note that in this study Coenzyme Q 10 alone, without the adjunctive treatments of debridement and scaling, also showed improvement in the clinical aspects of periodontal disease.

How does Coenzyme Q10 support periodontal health? Most of the research in this area, including animal studies, seems to indicate that Q10's supportive effect on the immune system accounts for its ability to heal ailing gums. It is also suspected that oral administration of Coenzyme Q10 may improve oxygen utilization in gingival tissue as well as nurture the cellular membranes in the gums.

Periodontal disease is extremely common, affecting many people to variable degrees. There are detailed case histories of patients on record which have demonstrated that even the most severe cases of periodontal disease showed renewed oral health with CoQ1O supplementation.7 However, not all the literature is supportive of CoQ1O. One very critical editorials with a partial review of the literature suggests that CoQ1O really has no place in the treatment of periodontal disease. Certainly when more controlled trials are performed and more objective data is collected, a scientific basis for using Q10 in a wide variety of dental diseases could be realized. For now, however, my recommendation is to consider CoQ10 for periodontal disease, especially since in my experience it has helped large numbers of patients.

CoQIO levels fall in many disease situations such as heart disease and periodontal conditions. Actually, falling Q10 levels are part and parcel of the aging process itself. Since periodontal disease affects more elderly people than young people, it is important to consider Coenzyme Q10 as a therapeutic adjuvant in periodontal disease.

What You Think About Food Determines Your Weight

May 13, 2010

Attitude means everything when it comes to food, gaining weight and how much a person eventually weighs. A study published in the journal Health Education & Behavior looked at five different behavioral attitudes toward food among women and compared those attitudes with their body mass index (BMI), waist size and body fat.

Whoever thought you could lose a few pounds just by thinking a little different about the food we eat.

But according to Dennis Degeneffe, co-author of the study, "The basic attitude that people have about food is related to the likelihood that they're at risk for obesity and weight gain."

The study placed 200 women into five categories: those "concerned about nutrition" (determined to eat well), "creative cooks" (focused on food for their families), "impulsive eaters", "guilt-ridden dieters", and "busy cooking avoiders".

Cancer Stem Cells Are No Match For A Compound Found In Broccoli

May 21, 2010

The evidence continues to accumulate and reveal that the solution to many 21st century diseases may lie in what nature itself has already given us. Researchers have isolated sulforaphane, a compound found in broccoli, that is showing promise of becoming a cure for cancer. Both in mice and human cell cultures, sulforaphane kills stem cells that create tumors and cause recurrence.

These findings also parallel what epidemiologists have previously known: populations that eat a plant based diet high in fruits and vegetables like broccoli, have low rates of cancer compared to populations that eat an animal based diet common to our Western diet.

Dr. Max Wicha, MD, director of the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center said, "This research suggests a potential new treatment that could be combined with other compounds to target breast cancer stem cells. Developing treatments that effectively target the cancer stem cell population is essential for improving outcomes."

Another little tidbit that's news to me.Always knew to drink a lot of water, but who knew the timing effected things.

Drinking water at the correct time maximizes its effectiveness on the Human body:

2 glasses of water after waking up - helps activate internal organs

    1 glass of water 30 minutes before a meal - helps digestion

                1 glass of water before taking a bath - helps lower blood pressure

                  1 glass of water before going to bed - avoids stroke or heart attack

Slow Or Reverse The Aging Brain – Nurturing Stem Cells Will Do The Trick

Thu, Apr 1, 2010

Anti Aging, Anti Aging Supplements, Health And Aging, Stem cells

The older we get, the more our minds seem to play “hide-n-seek” with us. We begin to experience our first “senior moments” when we are not senior at all – like around our early forties, sometimes earlier still. How often have you forgotten what day it is? Following the calendar was never this difficult only a few years ago. What about doing more than one thing at a time? Multitasking begins to frustrate you rather than save you time. You start doing one thing, then you begin another and while doing that you totally forget what you were doing in the first place!

What does this mean from a health and well being perspective? As far as your health is concerned, you may be just fine. A simple discussion with your physician will tell you that much. From a well being standpoint, you are bothered by these lapses and become aware of how age is creeping up on you. Still, you feel fine physically but it worries you that your brain is showing signs of a quicker decline than the rest of you. This is a natural concern and we can have a closer look at it.

Researchers have investigated the brain and how it ages in comparison to the rest of you and they have found that your diet is quite vital to brain health and can prevent the onslaught of dementia. New studies have implied that the core answer to thwarting changes to the brain linked to advancing age is to supply the brain with enough antioxidants. This blocks the damage done to it courtesy of free radicals which the brain appears to be vulnerable to.

Recently more stirring information has surfaced revealing discoveries of how stem cells have a role to play in acquiring knowledge, solving problems and shaping of memories. These findings have advanced the use of stem cell therapies available for use now that will literally reverse the cerebral aging clock. This information has been made available by the neurobiology research conducted and is neither expensive nor difficult to implement. These are simple, secure tips that are worthy enough to give them a go.

Stem Cell Transplant Treatments

In order to understand the magnitude of these discoveries, one must recognize the prior research conducted with brain stem cell treatments. Serious brain alterations due to illnesses such as Parkinson’s and Huntington’s disease have been medically handled in clinical surroundings using transplanted embryonic and fetal stem cells into the brains of patients. Never mind about the myriad of ethical issues this presents, what about the basic concerns with the surgical substitution of brain cells? Obviously brain surgery is an invasive procedure that means there will inevitably be damage to adjacent brain tissue. In addition, the embryonic and fetal cells hold markers in their tissue that signal the immune system to spring into action against them.

Even with the meager immune scrutiny delivered by the brain, only time stands in the way of these unfamiliar cells being noticed and eliminated. There is little astonishment that the achievement rate for these stem cell transplants in subpar, to say the least. Successful results average fifty percent and any optimal outcomes do not last very long. What is even more devastating is the number of these embryonic and fetal cell transplant recipients that eventually develop brain tumors caused by the stem cell substitution.

Cerebral Stem Cells

Astonishing information revealed in the 1990s through neurobiology studies showed that mature brains had their own stem cells, and they were busy making new neurons endlessly in large quantities – thousands daily. Newer research has uncovered that these novel neurons are related to memory and knowledge acquisition. Consequently, the solution to brain restoration rests in motivating the stem cells into growing new neurons. Pharmaceutical manufacturers are diligently on the lookout for growth factors that will enhance brain stem cell activity; however the blood brain barrier is proving troublesome for drug access to the brain. Just now the therapy involves copious intravenous treatments that often come with serious adverse reactions.

Improving Brain Stem Cell Action

There is good news though, involving a rudimentary method of enhancing brain stem cell action by double its normal execution. The answer is to begin a daily physical training regimen. It appears that being a sedentary sofa slouch turns more than your body to mush. This, as opposed to the people who are actively participating in various forms of physical activity and exercise. It is these people who are improving on the amounts of healthy new neurons created in the brain.

Now just for the sake of argument, let’s say you are unable to run the Boston marathon, play a game of hoops or do a half hour of calisthenics to boost neuron levels. There are other ways to reverse the age clock in your brain without exercise. Simple things such as reducing your consumption of alcohol will help since it will discourage the speed and quantity of stem cells divided in the brain. Simply depriving yourself of a couple of beers or glasses of wine from your normal custom will help.

There are dietary supplements on the market that have proven effective. The latest research available displays the beneficial results that certain supplements have for innately invigorating stem cell surrogacy of new neurons when added to your regular diet. At the top of this list would be concentrated blueberry extract, which works in unfamiliar ways to improve the creation of fresh neurons. In addition to this, new investigations into innately occurring amino acids [Carnosine], has displayed a capability to restore cells and augment their life expectancy. Antioxidants with the capacity to traverse the blood brain barrier safeguard your brain cells so they can sustain the life of neurons.

Acquiring Aid From Other Stem Cells For The Brain

There is more at play here than simply brain stem cells. Amazing new scientific investigations have shown that stem cells from other areas of our physiology are likewise known to participate in the development of new neurons within the brain. For instance, bone marrow cells can travel to the brain to grow neurons. This procurement of stem cells from bone marrow has revealed a reaction to a natural dietary supplement of green algae. The conscription of bone marrow stem cells is enhanced by approximately twenty five percent within one hour of ingesting Aphanizomenon flos-aquae, a cyanobacterium commonly known as blue green algae.

Preserving Fresh Neurons Within The Brain

Therefore, keeping with the same pattern of thinking, those of us who are athletically inclined with a soft spot for blueberries and blue green algae, should all be members of Mensa, shouldn’t we? It turns out not to be that elementary. It seems that while it is a truism that neurons are associated with acquiring knowledge and our ability to recall, novel neurons might not stick around within the brain for extended periods of time. Upon acquiring the fresh neurons, they must be well maintained or they will rapidly vanish. Keeping these neurons in good shape will not be too much trouble. Just a bit of cerebral aerobics should keep them healthy and available.

To state an overused phrase that fits well here, you need to use them or lose them. Doing the correct mental workout will make a distinct impact. Your brain must be challenged regularly. Tasking the brain to work beyond what it is used to doing; keeping it active and agile is what needs to be efficient.

The following routine will assist in keeping your brain sharp and focused. Keep your body moving through exercise and any form of physical training that gets the blood pumping. Learn a new skill that is mentally challenging such as working with computers or taking an English comprehension class. At the very least try and read more often and set goals for the number of books you will read each month. Take up playing cards with a group of friends but be sure it is a game of skill such as bridge. Anything you can do to utilize your brain beyond what it currently does by default is a good thing.

If you are currently eating a healthy and balanced diet, good for you however, improve it with health supplements that are specifically geared toward improving mental acuity and neuron growth. These days we are fortunate enough to have the Internet available to us for research purposes. There are numerous misleading websites online so stick to the popular medical websites like WebMD and Healthline.com. These will provide you with huge amounts of information and additional research can be done at Wikipedia or About.com.

Understanding the role antioxidants play in brain health is critical. Knowing which foods and supplements, vitamins and minerals are the most effective for your brain will add to your knowledge base. You already know that blueberries and blue green algae as well as Carnosine supplements will help a lot. There are actual supplements specifically engineered for aiding in the growth of new neurons and they can be purchased online from reputable suppliers or offline in brick and mortar health food stores.

Be sure to get some regular exercise. I do not know what it will take for boomers especially to get up off the duffs and start getting more physical. All the experts agree that exercise will help your body in numerous ways and will keep you alive longer. Now they are claiming the same results with the creation of new neurons in the brain that will keep you sharp as a tack into old age. So why are we so stubborn or lazy when it comes to getting some – any – physical exercise. Particularly when it comes with a certified guarantee that you will have a better quality of life by doing it.

Our life expectancy is rising and with medical science doing its part to keep us above ground for a longer time, it is critical for an aging population to do more to preserve the proper function of our brains into old age. By not doing so, we run the risk of dementia and mental dysfunction in our golden years when life will be more trying for us as a simple fact of life. By taking care of our whole bodies now, we will increase our chances of not only living a fulfilling physical life when we grow elderly, but also a rewarding intellectual one as well.

The Second Huge Stem Cell Breakthrough in a Week

noreply@blogger.com (Glen Brink) — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 20:35:03 PDT

The Second Huge Stem Cell Breakthrough in a Week

Patrick Cox

This has been a singularly historic week in the annals of regenerative medicine. First, BioTime (BTIM:AMEX) CEO Dr. Michael West published proof that he can turn any adult cell into a completely rejuvenated stem cell. These induced pluripotent stem cells are as powerful as embryonic stem cells, but with none of the disadvantages. Then, in the same week, equally historic news came from International Stem Cell Corp. (ISCO:OTCBB) about its parthenogenic stem cells.

I'll explain the ISCO developments in some detail. A reader, by the way, recently suggested that I write the Stem Cells for Dummies book for those who are confused by this complex field. While this is not a book, it should help those of you who really want to understand the state of this critical science.

As a primer, it's vital that you're up to speed on the four different types of stem cells (SCs):

Adult Autologous SCs - SCs taken from donor bone marrow and fat tissue, cultured and re-administered to the donor for therapeutic purposes. These solve the immune and ethical problem but do not compare in power to the other three types, nor are they "young," meaning maximum telomere length.

Embryonic SCs - These cells are taken from embryos and are therefore ethically objectionable to many people. They have efficacy and they are young but they provoke an immune response.

Induced Pluripotent SCs - These are SCs that are created by genetically engineering normal adult cells to revert to SC status. They have efficacy and they solve the immune problem because they are the donor's own cells. Last week, BioTime proved that they can also be made "young."

Parthenogenic SC - These SCs come from unfertilized oocytes, the cells that, if allowed to develop, would become ovum. They are, by definition, young. They have no ethical problems because they are not embryonic. They solve the immune problem through the creation of ISCO's HLA typed cell bank. Last week, ISCO also announced evidence that they have efficacy.

Once you've got those covered it's equally important to take a look at what each treatment is capable of...

The above chart, and corresponding announcements are simply fantastic news - notably for iPS and hPS. I updated you on BioTime's breakthrough regarding iPS last week in a special alert - but soon after BioTime's announcement there was another huge happening.

Today I want to catch you up on this important news...

Unlike BioTime's breakthrough, which was covered by The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times and other big media, ISCO's breakthrough announcement was, basically, ignored. The reasons are twofold.

First, ISCO may be the most insouciant, understated biotech in business today. Some companies are quick to trumpet their accomplishments. ISCO, on the other hand, is incredibly and systematically low-key in its public statements. Company announcements are often cautious to the point of secretiveness. I'm convinced that the company's stock price would be much higher now if this were not the case.

Secondly, I admit the significance of last week's announcement is particularly well obscured. Therefore, let me read between the lines of this press release.

On the surface, the press release is about the beginning of ISCO's "Second Pre-Clinical Phase of Testing Retinal Pigment Epithelium (RPE) Derived From Human Parthenogenetic Stem Cells for Treatment of Retinal Diseases." So why is this a big deal?

It is a big deal because of one sentence in the press release. "Encouraging data from animal models have shown that visual degradation caused by AMD can be slowed through the transplantation of RPE."

In other words, ISCO has evidence that its nonembryonic parthenogenic RPE cells halt the advance of age-related macular degeneration. These cells prevent blindness just as RPE cells from cadavers and embryonic sources do. In essence, this is the same kind of breakthrough that BioTime just announced, but from a different angle.

Here's how the story played out for BioTime...

Scientists have long known that embryonic stem cells have the ability to repair damaged tissues in animals. Scientists also knew that induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells made from adult cells (not embryos) would have the same ability. This is important because iPS cells don't come with the ethical problems that embryonic cells do. Moreover, because iPS cells can be made using the donors' own cells, they would cause no immune system rejection problems if returned to the donor.

The rejection problem could likely be treated using immune system suppressants, just as is done in the case of organ transplants. Still, immune suppressants have many unwanted side effect. Donor iPS cells would clearly be a superior solution.

Scientists were excited because iPS cells offered the hope that youthful iPS cells could be created using a patient's own cells. Then, you could have as many of your own rejuvenated cells as you needed to fix aged and damaged tissues, all without immune reaction.

The monkey wrench in this vision came when some scientists created iPS cells from donor cells. They found that the effective age of the new stem cells was the same as the donor cells. This was a big potential problem. They believed that iPS heart cells from a 65-year-old donor who had suffered a heart attack would be effectively 65 years old. There would be little point in transplanting old cells into a heart suffering from aging-related illness.

West, however, proved that he can reverse the clock of aging in iPS cells so that the 65-year-old woman with heart disease could use her own iPS cells that are as healthy as a newborn baby's. This is huge.

Basically, ISCO scientists have just proven that they have the same ability vis-a-vis parthenogenic cells.

There has never been any question that hPS cells are young. This is because they are derived from unfertilized ovum, oocytes. Like iPS cells, hPS cells also solve the ethical problems associated with embryonic stem cells. They are not embryonic cells and, unlike iPS, probably can't even be used to create human clones. Moreover, the parthenogenic technology has the promise of solving the rejection problem, as do iPS cells.

Parthenogenic stem cells have only half the DNA of normal cells. They are parthenotes, cells whose double helix of DNA has unzipped in preparation for the possibility of fertilization. ISCO has figured out how to use this feature to "hack" the immune system problem.

The reason is that immune rejection or acceptance is determined by human leukocyte antigen (HLA) matching. This is too complicated a subject to deal with sufficiently here, but you can think of it this way: Acceptance or rejection of a transplant organ or cell depends on the body's reaction to a number of genetic "points," or antigens in the transplanted tissue. With good matching of these points, little or no immune suppression is necessary. If most do not match, there will be massive rejection and even the most aggressive immune suppression may not work.

For simple mathematical reasons, the odds against comprehensive matching of HLA points increase geometrically with each additional point. Therefore, the difficulty of immune matching hPS cells, with half the DNA and HLA points of normal cells, is far, far less than half the difficulty of matching a normal cell.

In fact, it is possible that only 50 hPS cell lines will immune match 95% of the human race. Think of these 50 (or more) cell lines as complex versions of blood types. ISCO is in the process of building a cell bank of hPS cells that could solve the rejection problem, delivering the immune benefits of iPS cells, but from another angle. ISCO has several lines now that each immune match over 15 million Americans. Once gathered, these immortal cell lines never have to be regathered.

Even unmatched, by the way, hPS cells with half the HLA points are probably superior to normal embryonic cell therapies in the immune suppression department. Once this cell bank is constructed, however, ISCO expects to solve most of the same immune rejection problems that iPS cells solve. Additionally, as I've said, they are young cells like BioTime's iPS cells. Only one piece of the puzzle was unverified.

We did not have proof until this last ISCO study was completed that hPSCs actually work. I believed they would. ISCO scientists, obviously, believed they would, but we didn't have clinical evidence. It was an extrapolation of scientific principles.

When making projections, we always make these sorts of assumptions. If ISCO and I had been wrong, however, ISCO would be collapsing and its stock value near zero. And I would be... embarrassed, to put it mildly. So my thanks go to all the scientists at ISCO, especially Dr. Elena Revazova, who made the early parthenogenic breakthroughs in Russia.

Anyway, we now have clinical evidence that hPS cells work in animals, just as embryonic cells and iPS cells do. Increasingly, by the way, it has become obvious that embryonic stem cells are functionally obsolete in the field of regenerative medicine. There has been an unusual amount of resistance to this fact in the scientific press. I'm half-convinced, in fact, that a lot of journalists are still vested in discrediting President Bush's insistence that a superior solution to embryonic stem cells could be found.

Embryonic stem cells work fine, of course, for actual human reproduction. I personally hope they never become obsolete there. iPS and hPS cells, however, are the superior platforms for most therapeutic uses.

The iPS platform may always be the most attractive high-end stem cell (SC) strategy, but ISCO's hPS cell therapies will have important advantages in many cases. For instance, let's say you have an accident and need SC treatment immediately for spinal cord or organ injuries. Unless you have already had your cells transformed into iPS cells and potentiated to become all the types you are likely to need in emergencies, your only real option would be hPS cell therapy.

ISCO's platform will also have a cost advantage. ISCO's ability to mass-produce and store off-the-shelf treatments, stem cells programmed to cure specific conditions without immune rejection, guarantees the company a huge market niche. Induced pluripotent SC technologies will likely keep the high-end clinical market, but hPS cells will likely be the Wal-Mart of SC therapies. While not as glamorous as the high end, Wal-Mart has made early investors rich. ISCO's advantages should do the same thing.

For example, consider the RPE cells ISCO is bringing to market. These cells are based on 10 years of research, primarily at Advanced Cell Technology (ACTC: OTCBB). Ten years ago, age-related macular degeneration (AMD) looked like the perfect target for eSC therapies.

It is known that RPE cells from cadavers can stop or reverse AMD. The cost of gathering enough cadaver cells for one patient, however, runs from $10,000-15,000. Moreover, there are simply not enough cadaver cells for a fraction of the 2.5 million Americans with the disease. ACT estimates the worth of the market for replacement RPE at $2.5 billion. ISCO's chairman Ken Aldrich, in keeping with his aforementioned restraint, says $1 billion.

Retinas, unlike corneas, are rich with capillaries. This means immune reaction is a particularly serious issue. When ISCO gets to market in two or three years, I project it should have most or all of the cell lines it needs to deal with immune rejection. Moreover, it has taken the technology a step further. Whereas ACT proposes therapy with RPE cells, ISCO is growing them in a matrix that can be applied surgically. My prediction is that these matrices will not only stop AMD, they will reverse it. If ISCO had a theme song, it would probably be Irving Berlin's "Anything You Can Do."

We'll see, of course, but all that's left to prove ISCO as a transformational stock for the ages is human trials. They could be completed in as little as two years.

for The Daily Reckoning

Joel's Note: It's difficult not to get excited about the kinds of breakthrough technology Patrick regularly uncovers for his readers. A staunch believer in human ingenuity, Patrick is the kind of fellow who sees a silver lining for (almost) every cloud. It's refreshing, yes...but it can also be immensely profitable, too. Imagine having invested in some of the past breakthrough technologies - the automobile, for example - before they changed the course of history. Now we're talking about the kind of fortunes that can last over many generations.

Real Foods Are Your Best Bet to Prevent Disease

March 12, 2010

Research continues to gather evidence that many of the 'big diseases' like cancer, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and cardiovascular disease are preventable. What's the secret? It's inexpensive and is as easy as running to the grocery store.

Real, whole foods, high in antioxidants are deservedly getting a lot of press in the fight against life threatening chronic illnesses.

Scientists believe that a common cause of many chronic diseases is the destruction of DNA by free radicals. Iron and copper ions play a significant role in the formation of these free radicals and are being studied at Clemson University by chemist Julia Brumaghim and her team.

US Congress: The Greatest Threat To Your Health and Freedom...

If you value your health, your freedom, or both, we need to remind you to express your vigorous opposition to the food fascism bills being passed off as fake food "safety" bills pending in the US Senate. There are two of them, and they are cleverly linked: S. 501 from Sen. Harkin's committee will criminalize the production of safe, local food, including from your own garden, if it is chemical free, organic, and therfore non-Codex compliant.

We have been warning that this was coming for several years. We wish we had been wrong. Its dastardly companion bill, S.3002, from Sen. McCain will give the FDA what it has sought for 15 years: the legal ability to destroy your access to high potency supplements. It is bills like these which, when enacted into law, have given the FDA, USDA, EPA and other government agencies the power they are so rampantly abusing to our collective detriment and to the detriment of health AND freedom. Read about them, and take action below, once for each member of your family:

http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26714

OVER 2.2 MILLION EMAILS IS A GROWING ROAR FOR HEALTH AND FOOD FREEDOM!
ADD YOUR VOICE TO THE FREEDOM ROAR NOW!

http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26714

Thanks! Now send this Action item to every person you can reach asking them to take action and then pass it on in the same way. After all, everyone eats so this is everyone's battle. We're making this issue "go viral": that's how we turn "Push Back" into "Take Down!"

Urgently Important Health Freedom Action eAlert Action Items -

Health Freedom Movement turning "Push Back" into "Take Down" - And Natural Solutions Foundation is Leading the Way, As Always

We are pleased to report that a number of health freedom groups who are, generally, so fragmented and ineffective that they trip all over each other, are once again taking their cue from our Action Items and offering a Citizens Petition for Health Freedom. We say: "Good for them! And Good for us all!" We believe that the Globalist agenda must die the "death of the thousand cuts" and that every opposition to it is one of those cuts. Therefore, in addtiion to taking our Food and Supplement Freedom Action Item,

http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26714

and our urgent call to Ban ALL GMOs immediately,

http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=2049

Please also take this new Action Item to sign the Health Revolution Petition, created by other members of the Health Freedom world as they followed our lead once again. The more voices, the bigger the swell -

http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=2352

You may remember our Open Letters to other folks in the Health Freedom Movement and the absolutely underwhelming response they received. This time, however, it would appear that things may have shifted for the better. We hope to see, and bring you, many more such good followership items from other Health Freedom activists! Let this be a major sea change!

The Natural Solutions Foundation firmly believes that the more we work together, the easier it will be to move from Push Back to Take Down on issue after issue! This petition is a moderately good recounting of the health freedom issues. While not exhaustive, there are a number issues enumerated here which we have brought to you previously in what we believe to be effective tactics for real change.

We don't all agree on all the items in the list, but the activists who drafted it are mostly good people and mostly allies, so we are happy to seek additional signatures to the Health Revolution Petition. While a laundry list of items of this sort may not bring about administrative, legislative or judicial changes as our far more targeted Action Items can and do, it will serve as notice to TPTB (the powers that be). For that reason, we suggest that you sign this petition to serve yet another notice that we care - deeply - about these issues.

Featured Videos

To understand Monsanto and the threat that it, and its Food "Safety" Bill S. 510 pose to you, and why you must take the Action Item opposing it and pass it along so many, many others can do the same, you need to watch this video about the impact of Agent Orange all these decades after the Vietnamese War,

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVH-w1lCbrY&feature=related

and then recall that according to Monsanto, its newest version of Roundup© is comprised of 70% Agent Orange. Sprayed on food, washed into the water and digested in our bodies, what do you think the result will be on you and yours?

If you need a reminder of why Sen. McCain's S. 3002 is such a good ploy to get nutrient restrictions matching Codex into the US, watch this video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P30Itrfhn8o

and recall that these Nutrient Reference Values are supposed to tell consumers what they need of a particular nutrient on labels first and then they will become the maximum permissible upper level. How low are they? Low enough to mandate under nutrition which guarantees increased chronic, deadly degenerative diseases including cancer, cardiovascular disease, stroke, diabetes and obesity just as we have been warning was the next step since 2005.

But just exactly what is Codex? How does it work and what are its vulnerabilities? Watch "Rome Codex Deconstruction"

Brain in a whirl? Does it feel like it is all too much? Is age taking a toll on your memory or that of someone you care about?

NEW: Dr. Rima Network:

www.DrRima.net

^{Why should you care? Because the manifest dangers of conventional medicine, already known to kill hundreds of thousands of people each year WHEN USED PROPERLY are getting worse. Not only are vaccines increasingly dangerous, everything that conventional medicine does - or touches - is getting more dangerous.}^{Consider this article :}

http://www.foodconsumer.org/newsite/Non-food/Healthcare/overlooked_contaminant_found_in_donated_blood_2002100421.html

This level of incompetence and deadly carelessness is by no means rare. One has to wonder if it is, in fact, an accident at all.

Now consider that half of the drugs cleared for public sale by the FDA are quietly removed from the market (or greatly restricted) in 5 years or less because of their dangerous and deadly effects. Hundreds of people die each month (!) from Avianda alone, for example,

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/35491876/ns/health-the_new_york_times

Now consider, too, the fact that the profits in these wildly dangerous drugs are astronomical. Then consider the fact that their proven potential to generate sales for other drugs once the first drug has been taken (quite an effective business market, as the spread sheets demonstrate) is directly threatened by

1. Natural health options
2. Clean unadulterated food
3. Health Freedom to allow people to reject allopathic solutions to real or imagined problems and use natural ones instead.

Senator McCain's bill, S. 3002, now being justified as "merely to protect against athletes doping" and downplayed as "not likely to get out of committee" is a direct Big Pharma ploy to make sure the supplements you depend upon are taken away from you. This bill is a "stalking horse" for the equally bad "food safety" bill S 510 that your Push Back had stalled in committee. Watch for one or the other to be amended to include the worst provisions of the other and then pushed for a vote.

Will this happen? Not if we continue to Push Back!

http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26714

If our outrage and vocal response as the Health Freedom netroots keeps these bills in committee, congratulations to us. It may return yet again, from yet another Congressional prostitute... and we will keep pushing it back! Yes, it is, of course, likely that the McCain bill is merely a stalking horse, a diversion, if you will, to allow Sen. Harkin's horrific "Food Safety" [NOT!] Bill to be amended to "satisfy" McCain's interests.

And We Certainly Will Not Let That Happen

It would appear that we have pushed McCain's S. 3002 back into the cesspool from which it emerged through push back. Now let's take down its big brother, S 510. Please click the link below and take action once for each member of your family, then send the Action Item out to your entire list and let them know that their ability to access clean, unadulterated food ends if this "other safety" bill passes.

http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26714

And, while we are on the subject of clean, unadulterated food, I have two things more to share with you: Genetically Modified Foods, which the FDA approves just, well, just BECAUSE, have no meaningful examination of safety data prior to allowing a patented seed or animal into your food supply. The USDA, headed by Secretary Vilsik, a former Monsanto Executive, exercises no control or restriction over these "foods" whatsoever.

Bayer Crop Sciences' pharmaceutical rice has contaminated the entire Southeastern US rice growers' livelihood. GMO alfalfa will certainly contaminate all alfalfa in the US now that the shamefully inadequate USDA sham environmental impact study has been released by that corporate-controlled agency.

Organic cows eat organic alfalfa (the fifth largest crop in the US) so there may well be no more organic beef or milk production in North America by the time these perennial plants distribute their patented DNA over the North American Continent through the work of wind, bees, birds and animals.

Not OK with you? It's not OK with the Natural Solutions Foundation, either. GMOs of every kind must be stopped and stopped now while we still have a chance of protecting our entire biosphere - including you and your cells, along with your kids and grandkids' cells, as well.

Click the link below NOW to ban all GMOs now and set up a strong scientific agency to determine just how bad the damage has been and what we can do to fix it - right now the answers to both of those questions are totally unknown.

http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=2049

And one more thing: The Valley of the Moon Eco Demonstration Project, www.NaturalSolutionsFoundation.org, is all about reclaiming the production of clean, unadulterated food on a global basis. We chose Panama for a multitude of reasons, including its political stability, its social stability and its financial stability. There is a wide spread interest in clean, unadulterated food here, among both the English speaking and the Spanish speaking communities. The diversity of growing eco niches and micro climates means that the growing conditions of most of the world are represented here, making farm classrooms meaningful for teaching farmers from all over the world how to grow food without dangerous chemicals. For example, take our Valley of the Moon Coffee. Please. Once you do, you will be brew yourself a cup of what coffee experts are telling us is the finest coffee they have ever tasted, free from GMOs, pesticides, herbicides, fungicides or any other "cides". Shouldn't health freedom have its own Friendly Food Certified Coffee, friendly to the workers, the environment and you, the consumer? We think so! And shouldn't you know about it, drink it and give it as a special gift? http://www.ValleyfotheMoonCoffee.org

Is Your IRA Safe from US Government Confiscation? Certainly NOT!

But there is another reason for talking about the Valley of the Moon Eco Demonstration Project right now. And that is money. You see, the US Government has announced that it is accepting comments on taking your IRA and 401 retirement funds and converting them to fixed income annuities with a 3% yield "guaranteed" by the failing, flailing US Treasury. Middle-class Americans' last asset base [since the equity in our homes is gone] will be raided like the Social Security "Trust Fund" has been raided... to fund more government waste!

The Natural Solutions Corp, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Panama Natural Solutions Foundation, is a legitimate offshore investment vehicle for those funds (and any others you might want to have offshore, such as personal funds, trust funds, family investment funds, church or other nonprofit funds). Offshore investment is an option which will not, we believe, be available much longer now that the US economy has been gutted and the last pool of what passes for real money, your retirement funds, is about to be stolen out of your future.

In addition to producing Health Freedom's Own Coffee, the wonderful, smooth and delightful Valley of the Moon Coffee, we are also entering the process of generating our own BeyondOrganic, BioDynamic food for our use and for the use of our customers here in Panama and elsewhere. We are nearing completion of our Natural Solutions Center (with its wellness and seminar programs): we'll let you know about our Grand Opening Celebration and our Seminar Schedule as soon as we have firm dates!

Meanwhile, I can tell you that I feel much better having invested my own IRA offshore in a project with such a strong future.

Oh, yes, one other thing: we are getting ready for the next Codex meeting. The Codex Committee on Food Labeling takes place from May 3-7, 2010 in Ottawa, Canada. If you want us there, you need to send us there.

$630 per person, Economy Class for 3 people = $1890
Accommodations: $ 1509.79 US (simple bed and breakfast 8 blocks from meeting - we walk)
Food: $75.00 per person for 3 persons, does not include hosting delegates for meals $1500
Incidentals like printing (documents we give to delegates, for example) not included

So we are asking you, through recurring small or large donations, to send us to Codex for you. By the way, if you want to come along, you are welcome! Just let us know and we will fill you in on what, when and where.

Can we afford that? Collectively, yes, we can.

Can we afford NOT to afford that? Collectively, no we can not.

Click here to make your donation to make sure that your eyes and ears are at this important Codex meeting.

You'll have a video report each day, and our written reports as well.

There are nearly 300,000 people on this list. The math of activism is pretty simple.

Without your activism we are threatened with the loss of many of our traditional remedies, and certainly all of the advanced modalities being developed outside the Big Pharma world. Take for example the traditional cleansing and detox modality known as "ear candling" - FDA now says ear candles are medical devices. We kid you not. Here is the language from a letter received two days ago by the three leading ear candle companies:

"Under section 201(h) of the Act, the ... ear candle is a device because it is intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions or in the cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease, or is intended to affect the structure or function of the body, 21 U.S.C. 321(h)... [because you intend to] "mitigate or treat allergies, headaches, colds, flu, sinus congestion, sore throat, ear infections, swollen glands, sinus infections, balance and equilibrium, migraines and vertigo..."

Will FDA get away with turning ear candles into medical devices? Not if we can help it!

Remember, the EPA and FDA are, in a separate action, trying to take nano and colloidal silver off the market, just as the European Food Supplements Directive has succeeded in doing there as of January 1, 2010. Silver is an illegal substance in Europe.

Why? Because silver is the universal antibiotic and would destroy a vast pharmaceutical market if enough people knew about it. After investigation, I personally recommend the Silver Biotics nano silver available at: www.Nutronix.com/naturalsolutions

ONIONS

noreply@blogger.com (Glen Brink) — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 20:31:04 PDT

ONIONS

In 1919 when the flu killed 40 million people there was this Doctor that visited the many farmers to see if he could help them combat the flu.
Many of the farmers and their family had contracted it and many died.
The doctor came upon this one farmer and to his surprise, everyone was very healthy. When the doctor asked what the farmer was doing that was different the wife replied that she had placed an unpeeled onion in a dish in the rooms of the home, (probably only two rooms back then). The doctor couldn't believe it and asked if he could have one of the onions and place it under the microscope. She gave him one and when he did this, he did find the flu virus in the onion. It obviously absorbed the bacteria, therefore, keeping the family healthy.

Now, I heard this story from my hairdresser in NZ. She said that several years ago many of her employees were coming down with the flu and so were many of her customers. The next year she placed several bowls with onions around in her shop. To her surprise, none of her staff got sick. It must work. (And no, she is not in the onion business.)

The moral of the story is, buy some onions and place them in bowls around your home. If you work at a desk, place one or two in your office or under your desk or even on top somewhere. Try it and see what happens. We did it last year and we never got the flu.
If this helps you and your loved ones from getting sick, all the better. If you do get the flu, it just might be a mild case.
Whatever, what have you to lose? Just a few bucks on onions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now there is a P. S. to this for I sent it to a friend in Oregon who regularly contributes material to me on health issues.... She replied with this most interesting experience about onions:

Thanks for the reminder. I don't know about the farmers story...but, I do know that I contacted pneumonia and needless to say I was very ill...I came across an article that said to cut both ends off an onion put one end on a fork and then place the forked end into an empty jar......placing the jar next to the sick patient at night. It said the onion would be black in the morning from the germs... sure enough it happened just like that...the onion was a mess and I began to feel better.

Another thing I read in the article was that onions and garlic placed around the room saved many from the black plague years ago. They have powerful antibacterial, antiseptic properties.

But here is the other important side to remember.

LEFT OVER ONIONS ARE POISONOUS

I have used an onion which has been left in the fridge, and sometimes I don't use a whole one at one time, so save the other half for later.

Now with this info, I have changed my mind.....will buy smaller onions in the future.

I had the wonderful privilege of touring Mullins Food Products, Makers of mayonnaise. Mullins is huge, and is owned by 11 brothers and sisters in the Mullins family. My friend, Jeanne, is the CEO.

Questions about food poisoning came up, and I wanted to share what I learned from a chemist.

The guy who gave us our tour is named Ed. He's one of the brothers Ed is a chemistry expert and is involved in developing most of the sauce formula.. He's even developed sauce formula for McDonald's.

Keep in mind that Ed is a food chemistry whiz. During the tour, someone asked if we really needed to worry about mayonnaise.... People are always worried that mayonnaise will spoil. Ed's answer will surprise you. Ed said that all commercially- made Mayo is completely safe.

"It doesn't even have to be refrigerated. No harm in refrigerating it, but it's not really necessary." He explained that the pH in mayonnaise is set at a point that bacteria could not survive in that environment. He then talked about the quaint essential picnic, with the bowl of potato salad
sitting on the table and how everyone blames the mayonnaise when someone gets sick.

Ed says that when food poisoning is reported, the first thing the officials look for is when the 'victim' last ate ONIONS and where those onions came from (in the potato salad?). Ed says it's not the mayonnaise (as long as it's not homemade Mayo) that spoils in the outdoors.... It's probably the onions, and if not the onions, it's the POTATOES.

He explained, onions are a huge magnet for bacteria, especially uncooked onions. You should never plan to keep a portion of a sliced onion. He says it's not even safe if you put it in a zip-lock bag and put it in your refrigerator.

It's already contaminated enough just by being cut open and out for a bit, that it can be a danger to you (and doubly watch out for those onions you put in your hotdogs at the baseball park!)

Ed says if you take the leftover onion and cook it like crazy you'll probably be okay, but if you slice that leftover onion and put on your sandwich, you're asking for trouble. Both the onions and the moist potato in a potato salad, will attract and grow bacteria faster than any commercial mayonnaise will even begin to break down.

So, how's that for news? Take it for what you will. I (the author) am going to be very careful about my onions from now on. For some reason, I see a lot of credibility coming from a chemist and a company that produces millions of pounds of mayonnaise every year.'

Also, dogs should never eat onions. Their stomachs cannot metabolize onions ........

Please remember it is dangerous to cut onions and try to use it to cook the next day, it becomes highly poisonous for even a single night and creates Toxic bacteria which may cause Adverse Stomach infections because of excess Bile secretions

SUPPORT YOUR STEM CELLS

noreply@blogger.com (Glen Brink) — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 11:34:41 PST

This is the third letter in the series on adult stem cells.

Our product works directly to support your own production of adult stem cells in bone marrow, which makes this product far easier to use and far superior to any invasive and painful

technologies for harvesting stem cells.

Katharine and Viktoras

Stem cell cure hope for back pain

A patient's own stem cells could soon be used to cure chronic back pain, say researchers.

A team from the University of Manchester hope their treatment will be available within three years.

They are perfecting a way to rebuild the soft shock-absorbing discs which separate the vertebrae in the spine.

Damage to these intervertebral discs (IVDs) is a common cause of debilitating low back pain which affects around 12 million in the UK.

A trea tment which effectively cured the problem could potentially save the UK economy as much as £5 billion a year.

The new therapy, developed by Dr. Stephen Richardson, uses mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from adult bone marrow to regenerate spinal discs.

MSCs are a class of stem cell which can grow into many different cell types, including bone, cartilage, fat and muscle.

[NOTE: these are similar to the stem cells our product helps to increase the number of!]

Dr Richardson has succeeded in turning these stem cells, into the cells which make up the gel-like tissue separating the vertebrae.

He plans to begin pre-clinical trials next year, with full patient trials to follow on.

Dr Richardson said: "Once we have extracted the bone marrow from the patient and have purified the MSCs, they will be grown in culture and our patented method of differentiation will be applied.

"They will then be embedded within a gel which can be implanted back into the patient."

[NOTE: Compare this to the ease of taking a whole food supplement!]

No rejection

Since the stem cells are taken from the patient's own body, there is no chance of them being rejected by the immune system.

The new tissue is implanted using an arthroscope, a thin tube device slipped through a small incision in the back.

"Once implanted, the differentiated MSCs (adult stem cells) would produce a new NP tissue with the same properties as the original and would 20 both treat the underlying cause of the disease and remove the painful symptoms."

Currently, low back pain is treated with a combination of painkillers, physiotherapy or surgery.

In severe cases tissue is removed to relieve the pain, or vertebrae fused together.

Dries Hettinga, research and information manager at the charity BackCare, said: "This is a really exciting area of research and although it is still early days, the initial results look very promising."

Nine Risk Factors Causing Rise in Global Cancer Deaths

January 26, 2010

Researchers from the Harvard School of Public Health working in collaboration with other World Health authorities identified specific risk factors that were linked to 12 common cancers found around the world. They found that of the 7 million world wide cancer deaths in 2001, 35% of those deaths were could be attributed to nine well known behavioral and environmental risk factors.

Majid Ezzati senior author of the study and an assist professor at Harvard stated, "These results clearly show that many globally important types of cancer are preventable by changes in lifestyle behaviors and environmental interventions." Her group discovered these nine risk factors explained the death of over 2 million cancer deaths world wide which could have been prevented.

How to Invest Like a Multimillionaire

Okay. You want to be a super-successful investor. I get it.

You are already living on a fixed income. Or you are nearing retirement and worrying about whether you'll be able to kick back and earn a passive living from your investments. I've been there. I've retired three times. I know how you feel.

But here's the thing. The secret to lifelong financial security is this: Never give up your active income. Keep a controlling stake in your business or start a side business that will pay you dividends till the day you die. That is the only serious financial security you can ever have. There is nothing you can do passively that compares to it.

But no more on that subject in this essay -- I know how middle-aged investors think. They don't want to be told they have to keep working. They've been working their whole lives. They want easy solutions. Big returns. And they don't want to make all the tough decisions themselves, like they'd have to do with a business.

In short, they want a guru. I'm not a financial guru. In fact, I know very little about the technicalities of investing. But I have done very well with my investments these last 30 years. So today I'm going to tell you most of the important things I know. What you are about to read are "truths" I've discovered from my experience.

I might not be able to give you everything you really want -- triple-figure returns guaranteed. But I'll give you the next best thing: the system I followed that kept me out of every major financial collapse in my lifetime and made me very wealthy without spending four to eight hours a day studying the markets.

One thing I bring to the table is long-term perspective. I said I've been investing for 30 years. That's true. My first investment, a speculative bid on a Washington D.C. condo, was in 1980. I lost all my capital and more. And it changed me. I became very skeptical of going after huge returns. That is why I never got suckered into all the bubbles that have taken place since then.

Another thing I bring to the table is a long-term perspective. I've been an insider in the investment advisory business for about as long as I've been investing. I know all the gurus. Hell, I know their fathers. I know their games. I know how they make money when they make money. And I know how they hide their losses when they lose, which is often.

Today, I'm going to give you the straight dope on how I invest. It's all about not being an idiot. It's all about sticking to the basics. It's not difficult. In fact, it's easy.

If this doesn't sound like too much braggadocio to you, read on.

Successful investing has three elements:

1. How much you have to invest
2. How long you keep it invested
3. The rate of return you can get
All other things being equal, the more money you have to invest, the easier it is to get rich.

It's also much easier if you have time on your side. It's easier, for example, for an 18-year-old with $5,000 in his bank account to acquire a multimillion-dollar fortune than it is for a 65-year-old with $1 million in net assets. When you have more time, you can take less risk and let the miracle of compound interest work in your favor.

If you are young, I recommend my book Automatic Wealth for Grads. It provides a blueprint for wealth that anybody, and I mean anybody, can follow. But you aren't 18, are you? You don't have that much time. And that is where the third element of successful investing -- rate of return -- comes into play.

You've done the arithmetic and you realize that the only possible way for you to acquire any sort of respectable retirement fund is to get triple-digit returns on your investments.

But let me tell you something about triple-digit returns. They happen. They happen all the time. But they don't happen to me all the time. And they probably won't happen to you. Triple-digit returns are like eagles in golf. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of eagles every day around the world. But even the best golfers don't experience them very often.

Making money in the markets is much like golf: every time you tee off you should be looking to shoot below par (i.e., above market), but to be a great player you can't try for a hole-in-one on every par three or try to get on in two on every par five. You need to play the game strategically because you know that odds are the eagles will not come that often.

My investment strategy has always been based on the fact that I know I am not destined to get triple-digit returns with any frequency. Still, I've done very well.

So how much do you have to invest? $10 million? $1 million? $100,000? $10,000?

If you have $10 million, you don't need to worry about triple-digit returns. You can achieve financial independence by making 5 percent on your money. The secret to successful investing when you have that kind of dough is to restrain your greed and curtail your expenses. You can live like a billionaire for about $100,000 a year. $10 million at 5 percent gives you an income of $500,000 a year -- way more than you need.

If you have a million to invest, you need more than 5 percent. If you buy my $100,000 figure (and in a future essay, I'll show you how that can be done), you will need to get a 10 percent rate of return. That's not so difficult. I know many investment advisory services that consistently deliver 10+ percent returns to their readers.

If you have less than a million to invest, you have a challenge. You need to get high returns on your money. By high, I mean 15 percent, 25 percent, and the occasional triple-bagger.

But high returns usually mean high risk. And high-risk investing -- for most individual investors -- means the possibility of losing most or all of your money.

All the investment research I've ever read has proven that if you invest exclusively in high-return/high-risk investments, you will eventually go broke.

Can you deal with that? If not, you need to have a secondary supplemental income from an active interest in a business. But I told you I wouldn't talk about that today. Today, my job is to show you how to make above-average market returns on the measly money you have saved for your retirement.

But to do that, I have to define the word "save."

The Difference Between Saving and Investing

Most people think of saving and investing as synonymous. That is a big mistake.

As Porter Stanberry (founder of one of the investment advisory services I mentioned above) recently explained at a dinner party he gave in his multimillion-dollar Miami winter home, investing is what you do to grow your wealth. Saving is what you do to preserve it.

I have always divided my assets into the following four categories:

Private property (homes, art, other valuables)

Active investments (businesses I own or control)

Passive investments (stocks, bonds, etc.)

Savings (stored, safe wealth)

Private property can have significant financial value, but since you are using it (and want to continue to use it while you are living), it cannot be considered an investment.

Active investments, as I've pointed out, are great investments so long as you stay active with them. But I agreed I wouldn't keep pushing these, so we'll put them aside for now.

Passive investments are the things you normally think about when you talk about investing. But passive investment is risky. You don't want to take a risk with your savings. That's why I (and Porter) don't consider passive investing to be a form of saving.

Saving, as Porter explained to his dinner guests, is the money you put aside every year after you've bought the private property you want and have made the investments you want. Saving is what you want to keep.

In the past, I have put my savings into four vehicles: cash, bonds, rental real estate, and gold.

But these days, I think that bonds are very risky. I still invest in them, but I don't consider them to be savings. Cash gives me near zero return, so keeping money in cash is no longer an option since inflation will cause it to diminish -- just the thing I don't want to happen to my savings. I got out of rental real estate about five years ago when it was obvious I couldn't get a safe return on my money. I'm back into it now, but (as I've said in past ETR essays), cautiously.

But rental real estate is not a passive investment. It is active. The only way you can assure a good return is to own and manage your properties carefully. In that regard, it's like running a business. It's not as difficult as most businesses, but it's still very hands-on.

Among passive investments, Porter says the only current option is gold.

I think he's right. Gold has retained its value for thousands of years. Against inflation. Against war. Against a disintegrating currency (like the dollar). Gold holds its own. You can't do better than gold for your savings. I have subscribed to this philosophy since gold was priced at $300. I have enough gold coins tucked away to support me and my family for the rest of our lives.

As I said, if you have less than a million dollars to invest, you have to be willing to take some risk to make the kind of returns you need to enjoy a decent retirement.

So, aside from gold, where should you put your money?

Getting Your 15 Percent to 25 Percent and Occasional Triple-Bagger

It's not easy to get 15 percent to 25 percent on passive investments. Studies show that it's nearly impossible. But I know guys who have done it. And I've been watching them do it for decades. They have secrets -- little tricks of the trade -- that I can share with you.

First, and most important, they don't keep all their eggs in one basket. They diversify.

I have always favored that approach. And because I didn't want to be bothered looking at individual stocks, the money I had in the stock market was invested in index funds. But today, I don't think that makes sense. The stock market is overvalued. One of these days, it's going to take a big hit. If I had all my stock money in index funds, I'd take that big hit with them.

I still believe in diversifying. But now I think it makes more sense to do it by finding sectors and individual stocks that seem likely to outperform the market. That means I'm going to have to get "active" with my passive investments.

Having a bird's eye view of the investment advisory business, it is clear to me that some advisors have been doing very well. And some of them did well even in 2008 and the beginning of 2009, when everyone was getting killed. I know many of these people personally. So I will be picking and choosing from their recommendations.

But I don't intend to simply pick a few gurus with great performance records and blindly do what they tell me. I will educate myself on their investment ideas and strategies and use that knowledge to make decisions that match my temperament and my financial objectives.

You have to be in charge of your own portfolio. And part of being on charge of your portfolio is not to let your emotions get in your way.

Greed and fear are two of the emotions I'm talking about. Greed will make you buy bad stocks, simply because you are convinced their prices will go up. Fear will prevent you from buying good stocks because you are scared of the market or a market sector or something else.

Insecurity is another one. Insecurity makes it difficult for an investor to admit that he was wrong about a stock he put his money into. Not admitting you were wrong means not selling a bad stock when it's going down. Many investors never sell their stocks, even when they are left with pennies on the dollar. A healthy attitude is one that says, "Although I invested in a particular stock in good faith, I'll never know enough about the stock or the market to be 100 percent right all of the time. When the market causes the price of one of my stocks to come down, that is just its way of telling me that I didn't have all the facts."

How to Make Smart Investment Decisions

When I look back on my investing career, I'm almost shocked at how well I've done. After my first bad experience investing in the Washington, D.C. condo, I became a chicken investor (just like I am a chicken entrepreneur). So I never expected to make high returns. As I said in past essays on the subject, I was more than happy to make average ROIs.

I've always followed a simple rule: Before putting money in a passive investment, I apply the same criteria that I apply to buying a business:

I never buy a business I don't understand.

I never buy a business whose management seems the least bit shifty to me. If I have doubts, I stay away.

I never buy a business that isn't making money unless I can clearly see how it could make money if I added something to it that I have.

What's Interesting Right Now

Since realizing that I have to get "active" with my passive investments, I've been keeping an eye on the predictions pundits are making for various market sectors. Much of it seems just plain dumb to me. But some of it I find very convincing. For example:

Uranium. IDE Investment Director Bob Irish has convinced me that uranium is a good bet. As he says, "It's not a matter of if, but when." Uranium exploration and production is making some headway, but not nearly enough to keep up with the 70 nuclear plants being built now. And many more are in the planning stages.

Natural gas demand is set to increase significantly, and select companies will profit handsome.

The world's population continues to increase, along with the demand for agricultural products. The standard of living in developing nations is rising -- and that, say the guys at IDE, will push food prices even higher. They've convinced me that there will be plenty of opportunities to profit by investing in raw food commodities and the fertilizer producers.

I stopped investing in gold when it hit $1,000 an ounce. (I got in around $350.) But there is a great deal of solid evidence that suggests that gold could surpass its average annual gain of 16 percent over the last decade. I'm expecting it to hit $1,500 at some point in the next year or two. So I'm back to gold.

Commodity prices will head higher because of increasing demand and the prospect of higher inflation.

I have always liked investing in businesses that appeal to Baby Boomers. (I've written a good deal about this in the past.) Baby boomers have been driving the U.S. markets since the early 1950s. I don't see any reason for this to change until they (we) are dead.

Healthcare. (See my thoughts on Baby Boomers.)

And finally, I'm looking at oil. I've seen one very persuasive report that argues that oil prices will top $100 a barrel in 2010.

These are trends I believe in. As a businessman, I've made all of my big money getting into trends as they are taking off and then getting out when they are clearly overvalued. If you look at the miserable history of professional trend investors, you'd think this was a crazy strategy to pursue. But most of these guys lost money because they got in too late or stayed too long. I don't think that is at all necessary if you are prudent (i.e., if you are a chicken investor.)

In the next essay I write on this subject, I'll explain why I think that is. I'll tell you when I get in and when I get out and what indicators I use to make those decisions. Nothing I do is complicated. It's just a matter of applying basic business rules to investing.

In the meantime, to find out more about where you should be investing your money in 2010, check out IDE's Sound Profits newsletter.

I recommend Sound Profits because I consult for them. As their consultant, it's my job to help them grow and prosper. The best way they can do that is by becoming a truly great investment advisory. And that's exactly what they are becoming.

Six months ago, on my advice, they hired an investment director with 30 years of Wall Street experience to head up their investment portfolios. Since Bob Irish came on board and instituted some changes, they've had one success after another.

For example, Ted Peroulakis has had 17 winners with at least 100 percent gains. And Dr. Russell McDougal, IDE's resource expert, has made 11 recommendations, 10 of which are winners. His only losing position right now has an 8 percent loss.

Andrew Gordon made one recommendation to his readers in July that is already up around 30 percent, and another recommendation in August that is up nearly 15 percent. In fact, since Bob's changes were made, all seven of Andrew's recommendations are making money.

And, finally, Steve McDonald has made about 90 recommendations to his readers, with only one loss. That was CIT Group, and the company went bankrupt. Still, Steve's members took only a 15 percent loss on that one.

You Are What You Eat... Literally

In this week's issue of THB Undercover , I countered Dr. Shyam Kolvekar's contention that saturated fat in the diet is to blame for the rising rates of heart disease in young people. He even recommended banning butter! To learn why he is totally off base and why you should have no fear of saturated fat, see the Wednesday issue . Today, I discuss his recommended alternatives – margarine and sunflower oil.

It is bad enough that mainstream doctors and dieticians erroneously focus on saturated fat and dietary cholesterol as the cause of heart disease – something which has never been proven. Perhaps even worse is that the alternatives they suggest HAVE been proven to cause heart disease... among a range of other chronic diseases.

In his recent calls to "ban butter," Dr. Shyam Kolvekar suggests that it will make a "world of difference" to replace it with polyunsaturated fats like margarine or sunflower oil. He is correct. It will make a world of difference. It will dramatically increase your risk of heart disease, cancer, asthma and macular degeneration, to name just a few degenerative conditions associated with these fats.

And since Dr. Kolvekar's concerns are "for the children"... let's start there.

The journal Intelligence published a report last year that what children eat can have a significant impact on their intelligence. The researchers stated that they "found a number of dietary factors to be significantly associated with intelligence measures."

So, what was their most consistent finding? It was the association between margarine consumption and lower IQ scores. The children who ate margarine every day had IQs that were up to six points lower than children who did not.

But who cares about a few points on the IQ scale, when this industrially-processed, yellow-colored, food-like substance can have such a dramatic impact on heart health and longevity?

Unfortunately, that "dramatic impact" on heart health is not for the good...

The journal Epidemiology published a study called, "Margarine Intake and Subsequent Coronary Heart Disease in Men." Authors of the study followed participants of the Framingham Heart Study for 20 years and recorded their incidence of heart attack. They also tracked both butter and margarine consumption.

You couldn't ask for a better study to either prove or refute the assertions of Dr. Kolvekar. And apparently this one must have escaped Dr. Kolvekar's attention, because it directly contradicts his position.

The researchers discovered that as margarine consumption increased... heart attacks went up. As butter consumption increased... heart attacks declined.

The study also divided the data into ten year increments. What they discovered is that during the first ten years, there was little association between margarine consumption and heart attacks. However, during the second decade of follow-up, the group eating the most margarine had 77% more heart attacks than the group eating none!

"There is no safe level to consume..."

It should be noted that during the years this study took place, most margarine was made with hydrogenated oils (trans fat). All the while, these spreads were marketed as a way to prevent heart disease. Never mind the fact that the Institute of Medicine has said of this substance, "there is no safe level to consume."

Many margarine products today are still made with hydrogenated oil. But most are made with some type of vegetable oil. And while this is an improvement, it is not "healthy" by any means. In fact, excess omega-6 fatty acids have been proven beyond any doubt to cause inflammation and oxidation in the body and increase the risk of cancer, heart disease, macular degeneration, diabetes, auto-immune disease, and more.

Are you in balance?

There are two main types of polyunsaturated fats – omega-6 and omega-3. These fatty acids are both essential, but our bodies cannot make them. We have to get them from our diet. It is also important to understand that these fats generally have opposing biochemical effects.

For example, omega-6 fats tend to encourage inflammation. Omega-3 fats inhibit inflammation. You can think of these two fats like yin and yang or weights on a balance. You don't want to tip the balance one way or the other. So ideally, you should consume them in equal proportions.

Our ancient biological ancestors consumed these fats in a ratio of roughly 1:1. We should too. The problem is that the way our food is processed, the way our animals are raised, and the type of foods we eat we eat have caused our consumption of omega-6 fatty acids to skyrocket. At the same time, our consumption of omega-3s has gone down.

This is a recipe for disease and we are clearly paying that price. The fact that our medical authorities are actually encouraging this imbalance borders on criminal.

Melt Away Fat and Prevent Heart Attacks in Just 12 Minutes a Day

Ditch those tiresome aerobic workouts! They're actually making your heart and lungs smaller – and increasing your risk of disease. And jumping around for 45 minutes to an hour or more is not helping you lose weight, either!

PACE® proves once-and-for-all that a great body and vibrant health does NOT have to be difficult, time consuming or boring. You're just seconds away from unleashing the killer body and disease-free life that only Dr. Sears' PACE® program can give you... Click HERE.

A little history...

The amount of fat we consume has not changed much over the last hundred years. But the type of fat we eat has changed drastically. A hundred years ago, we ate mostly animal fats, which are primarily saturated and monounsaturated.

Animal fat does contain a small amount of polyunsaturated fat. But because the animals we ate back then were raised on their natural diets, the polyunsaturated fats were in a natural healthy ratio. Today's grain fed cows, for example, have 30 to 50 times more omega-6 than omega-3s.

But that wasn't even the biggest change...

As the technology became available to mass produce oil from seeds and grains, our consumption of polyunsaturated fat began to increase. Then, in the 1950s, the medical establishment, the processed food industry and the government began an aggressive campaign to steer people away from saturated fats and toward polyunsaturated vegetable oils.

Consumption of vegetable oils went through the roof. At the beginning of 1900 there were almost no vegetable oils in our diet. Today, the average American consumes 70 pounds of vegetable fat!

In addition to the imbalanced fats in our meats, just look at any nutrition label. Almost invariably, you will see corn oil, soybean oil, peanut oil or any number of other polyunsaturated fats.

You are what you eat...

We are not designed to eat these fats in the quantities we do. The make-up of fat in the human body is normally about 97% monounsaturated and saturated. Only about 3% should be polyunsaturated (half of which should be omega-3 and the other half omega-6).

However, the type of fat in your diet dictates the type of fat in your cells. And if you consume extracted and concentrated plant oils, your cell membranes will incorporate these fat molecules.

The problem with polyunsaturated fats displacing saturated fats in cell structures is that these fats are highly unstable. This means that they are extremely vulnerable to oxidative stress and prone to causing inflammation.

The replacement of monounsaturated and saturated fats with omega-6 polyunsaturated fats in the cell membranes causes a host of problems in the body. One of the clearest ways we have observed this is in the formation of skin cancer.

Omega-6: The Fat That Promotes Skin Cancer

Because they are so unstable and prone to oxidation, when sunlight hits omega-6 fats, it can easily convert them to cancer-causing molecules. Among all the foods we eat, omega-6 fatty acids have been shown to be the strongest promoters of skin cancers in both people and animals.

In one study performed at the University of Western Ontario, researchers observed the effects of ten different dietary fats ranging from most saturated to least saturated. What they found is that saturated fats produced the least number of cancers, while omega-6 polyunsaturated fats produced the most. Numerous other studies have also shown that polyunsaturated fats stimulate cancer while saturated fat does not¹and that saturated fats do not break down to form free radicals.²

In another study, Dr. Vivienne Reeve, PhD, Head of the Photobiology Research Group at the University of Sydney, irradiated a group of mice while feeding different groups of them polyunsaturated and saturated fats. She discovered that the mice that consumed only saturated fat were totally protected from skin cancer. Those in the polyunsaturated fat group quickly developed skin cancers. Later in the study, the mice in the saturated fat group were given polyunsaturated fats. Skin cancers quickly developed.

But while excessive omega-6 fatty acids promote skin cancer (and a host of other health concerns), omega-3 fatty acids strongly inhibit these things.

This was confirmed in a comprehensive review of many studies published by the National Academy of Sciences in 2001.

Dr. Lesley Rhodes explored the ability of omega-3s to protect skin cells. Her research was published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology. It showed that omega-3 fatty acids reduce the inflammation that would normally be induced by excess sun exposure. She also showed that omega-3s significantly reduced DNA damage.

In a study published in the journal Cancer Research in 2000 researchers showed that the omega-3 fatty acid DHA, inhibited the progression of exponentially growing melanoma cells. This study also noted the following:

"Epidemiological, experimental, and mechanistic data implicate omega-6 fat as stimulators and long-chain omega-3 fats as inhibitors of the development and progression of a range of human cancers, including melanoma."

I just touched on skin cancer here. But the same processes work inside your body as well.

One of the best things you can do to protect your health is to consume roughly equal amounts of omega-3s and omega-6 fatty acids. You do that by avoiding conventionally-raised meats and strictly limiting the processed and fried foods in your diet. Anytime you see soybean oil, corn oil, vegetable oil, sunflower oil, etc. on the label, do not eat that food.

Instead, consume more healthy fats (saturated, monounsaturated and omega-3s) from wild game, grass-fed beef and bison, pastured poultry, wild fish and shellfish. Take a fish oil supplement. Eat nuts. And consume olive oil, walnut oil, macadamia nut oil, avocado oil and coconut oil as liberally as you desire.

Must read before your next grocery run

noreply@blogger.com (Glen Brink) — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 09:23:09 PST

Dear THB Reader,

You may think you are doing what's best for your family... But in fact, you could be inadvertently feeding them poison.

The next time you head into your grocer's produce department, keep this in mind: The average non-organic fruit contains more than 20 pesticides.

These chemicals have been implicated in a range of diseases, including cancer. Plus, they can cause damage to the nervous system.

But it gets even worse.

Clean food activists have discovered that 12 common fruits and vegetables - when conventionally grown - are drenched in pesticides. The "Dirty Dozen" are absolutely TOXIC because they've been raised with so many pesticides there's no way to wash them off. Even peeling these fruits and vegetables will not rid them of the toxins when they've been conventionally grown.

This "horror list" includes all-time favorites like apples and spinach... plus 10 others that most of us eat regularly.

To discover exactly which poisons you may be involuntarily feeding your family... which fruits and veggies make up the "Dirty Dozen"... and the best way to protect yourself... read THB's startling expose for free right here.

Don't wait another second to find out how you can banish cancer-causing chemicals from your home. Read on here.

The Greatest Medical Discovery of the Century

This Miracle Substance Protects against Diabetes...
Stops Heart Disease Before it Starts...
And Kills Cancer Cells on Contact

So, Why Haven't You Heard About It?

Scientists have discovered a remarkable substance that has the power to prevent diabetes, stop heart disease before it starts and kill cancer cells on contact. In fact, this substance has been shown to prevent and treat more than 20 major diseases, in all!

However, more than 85% of the population is deficient in this substance at least part of the year. And believe it or not, but the medical profession and health authorities actually advise people to avoid the single greatest source for this vital substance.

Click here to learn why you probably haven't heard about this revolutionary discovery.

The Greatest Scam in Medical History
January 20, 2009

Jon Herring
Editorial Director, Total Health Breakthroughs

Before we get into today's message, we wanted to pass this along. Many THB readers have asked us the best way to help the people of Haiti.

Many reliable and worthwhile organizations are offering support. But you may be wondering which cause will put your donation directly into the relief effort. Our colleague Byron King - who writes for The Daily Reckoning - notes that the Albert Schweitzer Hospital (HAS) near Port-au-Prince is a worthy recipient of your dollars. This hospital is not only one of the few medical centers not seriously damaged by the earthquake, it is also the only hospital in the region with surgical suites.

"As the flow of people urgently seeking care increases over the next few days and weeks, our resources will be pushed to the breaking point. It is critical that we receive support to help us continue with our mission," writes HAS Managing Director Ian Rawson on the hospital's blog. (You can read more about the HAS relief efforts here.)

You can make an immediate impact with your donation at www.hashaiti.org.

Alex Green - Investment Director of The Oxford Club - notes that the International Rescue Committee is also accepting donations. According to the IRC site - www.theirc.org - 90% of funds go directly to programs and services.

If you have even a few dollars to give, please do so. Every penny helps.

The Greatest Scam in Medical History

The writer and social critic, H.L. Mencken once wrote, "For every complicated problem there is a solution that is simple, direct, understandable and wrong."

Our ancestors believed that the stars rotated around the Earth. From their perspective, it made perfect sense. Of course, the idea was completely wrong. In fact, throughout history, people have believed ridiculous things. And they believed them so strongly you would have been persecuted for suggesting otherwise.

So little has changed...

Today's gospel truth is that excess saturated fat in the diet clogs the arteries and causes heart disease. The only problem with this medical "fact" is that it isn't a fact at all. It is a fraudulent and faulty hypothesis from the 1950s that has never been proven.

I didn't plan to write about this topic today. But I had to speak up when I saw the same article in four major publications this week. The headline: "Leading Surgeon Wants to Ban Butter."

Dr. Shyam Kolvekar, a heart surgeon at University College London Hospital, says that by the time he sees many of his patients, it is too late. Their hearts and cardiovascular system are too damaged for repair. He wants to stop heart disease before it starts by getting people to limit saturated fat in the diet. And to get the ball rolling, he suggests "banning butter."

Kolvekar is particularly worried that heart disease is growing rapidly in the younger population. "It's because most kids start the day with some toast and butter," he says. "Porridge is a much better alternative."

Why the butter and not the toast? Two slices of bread contain the equivalent carbohydrates of five teaspoons of sugar. And elevated blood sugar has been directly associated with heart disease. But more on that later...

Dr. Kolvekar also suggests replacing natural butter with the industrially-processed, chemically-modified yellow-colored substance known as margarine. Great idea, doc! In the interest of disclosure, the Daily Mail notes that, "Dr. Kolvekar's comments were issued by KTB, a public relations company that works for Unilever, the maker of Flora margarine."

Well, that might explain his motivations. But what about the veracity of his argument? And what can explain the last fifty years of propaganda against saturated fat? Is it really the villain it has been made out to be?

I asked our own heart-health expert, Dr. Dwight Lundell, for his thoughts. Dr. Lundell knows the heart and cardiovascular system as well as anyone on the planet. During his 25-year career in medicine, he performed more than 5,000 open heart surgeries. And for much of that time, he toed the party line on saturated fat and cholesterol. But his own experience - and a closer review of the literature - caused him to reject the premise. He later wrote a book on the REAL causes of heart disease, which you can learn more about here.

Dr. Lundell writes, "One wants their heart surgeon to be exacting. But, in the case of Dr. Shyam Kolvekar, who called for the banning of butter to prevent the epidemic of heart disease, he is exactly wrong!"

According to Dr. Lundell, "The theory that saturated fat causes heart disease fails on many accounts." First, it is said that saturated fats raise cholesterol levels in the blood, and elevated cholesterol levels cause heart disease.

Lundell points out that an article published in the American Heart Journal last year, showed that in an examination of 137,000 people admitted to the hospital with heart attack, 70% of them had normal blood cholesterol levels!

It should also be noted that the long-running Framingham Heart Study showed that after the age of 50 (when 90% of all heart attacks occur), lower cholesterol levels are clearly associated with a shorter life expectancy.

But let's put cholesterol aside for a moment and discuss the purported mass killer, saturated fat. Certainly there must have been conclusive studies and solid evidence that kicked off the campaign against animal fat. Not quite.

Melt Away Fat and Prevent Heart Attacks in Just 12 Minutes a Day

Ditch those tiresome aerobic workouts! They're actually making your heart and lungs smaller - and increasing your risk of disease. And jumping around for 45 minutes to an hour or more is not helping you lose weight, either!

PACE proves once-and-for-all that a great body and vibrant health does NOT have to be difficult, time consuming or boring. You're just seconds away from unleashing the killer body and disease-free life that only Dr. Sears' PACE program can give you... Click HERE

One of the first studies to implicate animal fat in heart disease came in the early 1900s. See if you can spot the flaws in this one. In 1908, Russian scientist, M.A. Ignatovsky fed protein-rich animal foods to a group of rabbits. He soon discovered that the rabbits developed arterial plaques and cardiovascular disease. Researchers discovered that the same thing happens when chickens, guinea pigs and goats eat a high-fat diet.

Later these studies were cited as evidence of a high-fat diet causing heart disease in humans. Hmm... let's see. All of these animals are obligate herbivores. They evolved eating nothing but plants. They are clearly not designed to eat meat. When we feed them meat and fat it makes them sick. That makes perfect sense. What doesn't make sense is why researchers extrapolated these results to omnivorous humans.

The Fraud of Ancel Keys Kicks off the Lipid Hypothesis

But the "lipid hypothesis" really gained traction in the 1950s, when physiologist Ancel Keys, Ph.D., published what became known as the Seven Countries Study.

Keys presented a comparison of heart disease mortality and fat intake across seven different countries. His comparison showed a "remarkable relationship." The countries with the highest fat intake had the highest levels of heart disease. The countries with the lowest fat intake had the lowest levels of heart disease. Those in the middle fell conveniently in between.

At the time, Jacob Yerushalmy, a PhD statistician, at the University of California at Berkeley pointed out that we had data on the amount of fat consumed in 22 countries. So why wasn't it called the 22 Country Study?

It wasn't called that, because Ancel Keys started with the conclusion. Then he cherry-picked the countries that matched his pre-conceived notion and threw out the ones that contradicted it. And most of them did! When all 22 countries were analyzed, the "remarkable relationship" remarkably disappeared.

Furthermore, Keys established no causative basis. And he based his conclusions on only two phenomena - dietary fat and heart disease. This did not account for the possibility that something else could have caused the heart disease.

It might seem hard to believe that this flawed and fraudulent study was the genesis of the entire animal-fat-causes-heart-disease movement. Certainly, in the last sixty years, there must be hundreds of controlled studies that prove the link, right?

Not quite... there are NONE!

What about the societies that consume a very high percentage of saturated fat in the diet - groups like the Maasai in Africa or the Inuits in the Arctic North? Do they show signs of heart disease? No, and in fact, quite the opposite is true.

In the 1960s, Vanderbilt University scientist, George Mann, MD, studied the nomadic Maasai in Kenya and Tanzania. These populations consumed a very high saturated fat diet, including drinking the blood of their cattle. Yet they were not only lean and virtually free of heart disease, they also had some of the lowest cholesterol levels ever measured!

Skeptical scientists argued that they must have some sort of hereditary protection. However, British researchers found that when Maasai men moved to the city and began to consume a modern diet, their cholesterol levels skyrocketed!

In an editorial published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 1977, Dr. Mann called the cholesterol theory of heart disease "the greatest scam in the history of medicine."

But let's get back to those studies... or, more accurately, the lack of studies proving a link between saturated fat and heart disease.

There have been about 30 long-term population studies that have attempted to link saturated fat to heart disease. Of those, only four have shown even the weakest association. And all four had major disqualifications: they were either too small to be significant, they did not isolate the variables properly, or they showed a slight decrease in heart deaths but an increase in death due to cancer.

But population studies are notoriously unreliable anyway. The gold standard among health studies are controlled, randomized trials. And not a single study of this nature has ever shown definitive evidence that saturated-fat consumption leads to heart disease. In fact, many have shown the exact opposite!

Authors of the MR-FIT trial were determined to prove the case. They enrolled 350,000 men, all of whom were considered at high risk of heart disease. In one set of participants, cholesterol consumption was reduced by 42%, saturated fat by 28%, and total calories by 21%.

What happened? Nothing. The authors referred to the results as "disappointing," stating that "The overall results do not show a beneficial effect on Coronary Heart Disease or total mortality from this multifactor intervention."

The Women's Health Initiative was a huge government study, costing almost three quarters of a billion dollars. Among 20,000 women in the study who adhered to a low saturated fat diet for eight years, there was no reduction in the rates of heart-disease or stroke.

Then there was the Cochrane Collaboration, in 2000. This group rigorously selected 27 low-fat and cholesterol-lowering trials to review (more than 200 trials were rejected). Their conclusion was that diets low in saturated fat have "no significant effect" on heart attack mortality. Lead researcher Lee Hooper, PhD, said "I was disappointed that we didn't find something more definitive."

Or how about something more recent?

This month, the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition published a review of 21 studies. The studies ranged from 5 to 23 years in length and encompassed 347,747 subjects. In the authors' own words: "Intake of saturated fat was not associated with an increased risk of CHD, stroke, or CVD."

I could go on... and on... and on... but I'll conclude with this.

In 1988, the U.S. Surgeon General's office decided to end the confusion. They set out to finally prove the causal link between saturated fat and heart disease. After 11 years, the project was abandoned. The Surgeon General's office stated that they, "did not anticipate fully the magnitude of the additional external expertise and staff resources that would be needed." Sure! After more than a decade of trying, the government just "just didn't have the resources."

Scientists and researchers are supposed to have an open mind. They are not supposed to be dogmatic and swayed by politics and peer pressure. But that is exactly what the majority of scientists and doctors have proven of themselves. It is not terribly surprising. Massive industries and shining scientific careers have been built on this faulty theory.

If it were not so tragic, it would be funny to listen to them explain away contradictory findings and make excuses for why their studies don't match their hoped-for conclusions. The most common excuses are that the "trial didn't last long enough" or they "didn't lower the saturated-fat intake enough." It seems that option number three never crosses their mind... perhaps the entire hypothesis is wrong!

Uffe Ravnskov, MD, PhD has called the saturated fat theory of heart disease "one of the greatest and most harmful misconceptions in the history of medicine." Dr. George Mann called it the "public health diversion of the century."

And the problem is not just the wasted time and billions of dollars dedicated to an unscientific myth. The bigger problem is that undue focus on the saturated fat bugaboo has stolen attention from the REAL causes of heart disease. And perhaps even worse, is that many of the dietary recommendations to reduce heart disease have actually been shown to CAUSE heart disease (not to mention cancer, diabetes and obesity).

If you truly want to protect yourself from the nation's number one killer, don't smoke and reduce your stress levels. At least the medical authorities have gotten those two right. And when it comes to your diet, forget about saturated fat and cholesterol. Here is what you should do instead:

Consume more monounsaturated fats from sources like olive oil, nuts, avocados and avocado oil
Cut out the sugar and refined carbohydrates
Consume more omega-3 fatty acids, from wild game, grass-fed beef and bison, sardines and wild (not farm-raised) salmon. And take an omega-3 fish oil supplement.
And reduce as much as possible omega-6 fatty acids in your diet. These come primarily from conventionally raised meats, processed foods, fried foods and vegetable and seed oils (corn, soybean, sunflower, cottonseed, etc.)

THB: Gender Benders in Your Spaghetti Sauce?

By Jon Herring - Editorial Director

Tuesday, January 19th

Has the FDA ever put the needs of the public ahead of industry?

Last week, the Food & Drug Administration reversed its position on the health effects of the industrial chemical and "food additive" bisphenol-A (BPA). For years, the agency maintained that this gender-bending, cancer-causing chemical was safe.

Their primary evidence? Two studies funded by the chemical industry.

Until last week, the agency refused to reconsider their position. And that is despite the fact that their own panel of experts stated it was scientifically flawed. It also ignored more than 100 published studies by government scientists and university labs showing that the industrial chemical poses significant risks.

The FDA now admits concern about those risks, especially regarding the safety and development of fetuses, infants and young children.

But they would still rather sacrifice your health than disrupt the wheels of commerce...

According to the Washington Post, "Regulators stopped short of banning the compound or even requiring manufacturers to label products containing BPA, saying that current data are not clear enough to support a legal crackdown."

The "current data" on this substance is very clear. It's just that the industries that make and use it wield so much power and influence in Washington that the FDA cowers before them. That is why they are soft-stepping.

One FDA spokesman who wished to remain anonymous said, "You want to warn people, but you don't want to create panic." Really? If you saw a shark approaching a group of swimmers, would you worry about "creating a panic?" No, you would yell, "Shark!" What the FDA doesn't want to "create" are disruption and undue costs for their masters in industry.

What is BPA used for... and where is it found?

Bisphenol-A is a chemical that is used to harden plastics and make them shatterproof. It is also used in many soft plastics. And it is used in the lining of almost all canned goods. It is part of thousands of consumer products.

And it has been clearly shown to leach into those products. We know this from laboratory testing. And we also know it because, according to the Centers for Disease Control, 93% of the U.S. population tests positive for the chemical in our urine.

You might be interested to learn that BPA is not listed as a "food contact material" by the FDA. If it was, manufacturers would be required to disclose where and how it is used. And the FDA would have more authority to take action against it.

Instead, BPA is listed as a "food additive," even though it is not added to food intentionally. Unbelievably, that exempts manufacturers from telling the government which products contain it and in what amounts.

Fitness Expert Dr. Al Sears, MD, Says...
"Aerobics and Cardio Are DEAD"

Why is my colleague, Dr. Al Sears, MD, telling people to stop doing aerobics and cardio... throw away your jogging shoes... and skip the gym?

Could it be that traditional exercise is actually bad for you?

Could it be that if you practice aerobics or cardio, you're actually making your lungs smaller and weaker?

This changes everything.

After 25 years of research, Dr. Sears has patented a revolutionary approach to fitness that's easy to follow and gets results.

You can do this no matter what shape you're in.

Read more here...

BPA is an "endocrine disruptor" that mimics the hormone estrogen...

Your hormonal system is a complex network of glands and organs that send chemical messages throughout your body. These signals affect everything from your metabolism to reproduction. When they are disrupted or thrown out of balance, they can cause disease.

There are a wide range of chemicals that can mimic the effects of hormones. They can send the wrong signals at the wrong times. They can send a signal that is hundreds of times more powerful than your body might send. And they can block hormone receptors, therefore altering your metabolism.

In her book series, Your Plate, Your Fate, my wife Kelley writes:

"Adults can often recover from endocrine imbalances. But the harm to babies and children can be permanent. Their development requires specific doses of hormones at precise times. Hormonal imbalances in children and young adults can lead to permanent immune suppression, neurological damage that can lead to behavior problems, reproductive disorders and problems with sexual development."

Gender benders like BPA can cause a decline in male sperm count, trigger early puberty in girls and induce feminine characteristics in men. They have also been shown to trigger insulin resistance, stimulate tumor growth and promote the spread of cancer cells.

And they can be highly active in extremely small amounts. One study, published in Environmental Health Perspectives, showed significant health effects at levels 5,000 times below the dose identified by the EPA as the lowest level causing effects!

Industry CAN do without these chemicals...

The industrial giants that use these chemicals say that the benefits of the plastics we use and the advances in food safety as a result of these chemicals outweigh any negative repercussions. They have also said that these chemicals are indispensible... they just cannot make plastic containers and food cans without them.

However, environmentally and socially responsible companies are proving these companies to be wrong (or liars... take your pick). The truth is that we can innovate ourselves out of any corner. And a number of companies are showing the way.

Eden Foods, for example, now serves all of their canned products in BPA-free cans. And companies like Vital Choice Wild Seafood have also made the switch. So look for companies like these that do not use harmful chemicals in their containers.

Be particularly cautious of acidic foods that are stored in plastic or cans. Canned tomato sauce, for example, is known to be high in BPA. Also, do NOT ever heat foods in plastic containers. Although, researchers have found that BPA can leach into foods and beverages, even at cold temperatures, heat is definitely a catalyst. And be sure to use glass, ceramic or steel containers for food storage – not plastic.

Finally, if you are eating the right way – whole, natural foods – you should be eating and drinking very few things that come from a package, a can or a box. Just the way it should be.

Coffee and Headaches

Coffee and Headaches

January 18, 2010

Ever miss your morning coffee and get a pounding headache? Researchers from the University of Vermont College of Medicine wanted to understand what most coffee drinkers already know: when they stop drinking their coffee they feel tired, less alert, less energetic, can't concentrate as well and they get a headache.

In order to understand why these symptoms take place Dr. Stacey Sigmon and others looked at brain electrical activity and blood flow to the brain in order to explain the biological mechanisms of acute caffeine withdrawal.

The investigators examined two different study groups. One group took a caffeine capsule and the other group took a placebo that contained no caffeine. Neither group knew if they were taking a placebo or the real caffeine capsule. After taking the capsules for several days the participants then stopped taking their capsules, a condition that mimics the acute caffeine withdrawal of coffee drinkers. Next the blood flow to the brain, the brain electrical activity via an EEG and a self-reported questionnaire was used to evaluate the findings of each group.

FREE BOOK: A Must Read

noreply@blogger.com (Glen Brink) — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 08:00:32 PST

Dear THB Reader,

I have a really amazing fr*ee resource that I want to share with you today.

I just finished reading a book about back pain that I think is one of the most important books that I have ever read about living pain fr*ee.

The principles in this book are so simple and yet so critical to understand to make sure that you live your life without back pain, neck pain or any other type of physical pain.

The book is called "The 7 Day Back Pain Cure" and the author of the book Jesse Cannone, is actually giving it away right now for fr*ee for a limited time.

Check out what he's doing and how you can get a copy by clicking on this link.

I've actually known of Jesse for a long time because he's known as the "back pain relief guy" but I'm kicking myself in the butt for not having read his book sooner.

I would have never expected a back pain guy to have such a thorough understanding of the mind body connection the way that Jesse does.

Jesse really breaks down all of the reasons for how back pain is caused, what all the "typical" options are for treating it, and tells you exactly how to eliminate any existing back pain you may have and how to prevent any future back pain.

I personally don't have any back pain but I'm glad I read this book because it gave me a wealth of knowledge that I didn't previously have on how to avoid it.

Jesse is also going to donate $1 to your choice of either the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital or Habitat for Humanity when you pick up a book today (even though he's giving you the book for fr*ee).

Here's the link again to get your copy.

Enjoy the book and let me know what you think of it when you're done (which will likely be in a few days if you're like me and can't put it down).

To Your Health,

Editorial Director
Total Health Breakthroughs

P.S. - If you're curious to know why Jesse is giving away his book make sure to watch the video on this page here.

Aerobics and Cardio Are Dead!

noreply@blogger.com (Glen Brink) — Sun, 17 Jan 2010 03:20:48 PST

Dear THB Reader,

Could it be that traditional exercise is actually bad for you?

After 25 years of research, my colleague, Dr. Al Sears, MD, has patented an approach that gets remarkable results. Read below to find out how one of his patients lost 45 pounds in 4 months just by walking for 45 seconds, then resting.

I've never seen anything like this.

Join the PACE revolution and help me celebrate Dr. Sears' remarkable breakthrough.

This changes everything!

Florida Woman Drops 45 Pounds By Walking 45 Seconds

New Fitness Revolution Can Do the Same for You

Dear Health Conscious Reader,

For her first "workout" I asked Terri to walk for 45 seconds, then rest. When she was ready, she did it again. That's it. At the time, that's all she could handle.

"That's it?" she said. "That's all I have to do?"

"Yes. This is PACE, not aerobics or cardio."

My name is Dr. Al Sears, M.D.

I'm writing to you to let you know that you can get remarkable results no matter how out-of-shape you may be. You can start anywhere, even if it's just walking and resting. If you can stand up, you can do it.

Terri is proof. After just 4 months, Terri lost 45 pounds.

And she's not alone. At my clinic here in South Florida, I've helped thousands of people just like Terri. Their success stories fill half a dozen file cabinets in my office.

You don't have to do cardio, lift weights, or go to aerobics classes to get the body you want. You don't even need a gym membership.

You can build a lean, effortlessly energetic body with a bulletproof heart, robust lungs, and muscles as strong as steel... without wasting your time.

It takes Terri an average of 12 minutes a day.

In her words, "The day I met Dr. Sears, my life changed forever. Before that I had tried everything, and nothing worked... until now! PACE is so easy, it's just so doable."

In this letter I'll tell you exactly why it works and why it changed Terri's life forever.

But it's not just my clinic that's coming up with evidence that "cardio" is a bad idea. Just look at this study from Harvard...

Harvard Study Confirms:
Aerobics and Cardio Are DEAD

Here's why I tell my patients aerobics and cardio are not the way to exercise:

Meet
Dr. Sears...

They won't make you lean!
They won't protect you from heart disease!
They won't even boost your energy!

Even worse, aerobic and cardio training - the kind most doctors and even the federal government promote as the path to good health - can actually wreck your body. Do enough, and it will make you sick, tired, and old before your time.

This Harvard Health Professionals Study backs me up on this. Researchers followed over 7,000 people. They found that the key to protect your heart is exactly the opposite of "cardio." It's not endurance. It's intensity. In fact, they proved that the more intense the exertion, the lower their risk of heart disease.1

And that's not all. Another Harvard study compared vigorous and light exercise.2

Those who performed exercise that is more vigorous had a lower risk of death than those who performed less vigorous exercise.

Aerobics and cardio are low-intensity, long-duration exercises. This Harvard study clearly shows that this kind of exercise increases your risk of heart disease and death.

Enduring hours of drudgery only to increase your risk of disease doesn't make sense. It isn't natural, and it doesn't work.

As I showed Terri, there's a better way to burn fat, boost your lungpower, and build a strong heart.

PACE Is the Most Effective Fat Burner
Known to Man... and the Easiest

It shocks most people, but Terri started doing PACE by walking for 45 seconds, then stopping to rest. It's true. All she did was walk for a few seconds and rest for a few seconds, then repeat. That was the level she felt comfortable with. It wasn't intimidating.

Starting with a very humble and easy workout, we slowly made progressive changes to each of Terri's workouts. Within the space of just a few weeks, Terri went from walking for 45 seconds to "power-walking" up steep hills. Today she can run, sprint, and do calisthenics.

As you can see, Terri made remarkable progress:

Body Fat (lbs)

Lean Body Mass (lbs)

HDL (mg/dL)

Triglycerides (mg/dL)

Over the course of 11 months, Terri:

Lost 68 pounds of fat
Built 14 pounds of new muscle
Raised HDL (good cholesterol) by over 33%
Lowered Triglycerides (blood fat) by over 36%

PACE is proving effective across the board, from fat loss to cardiovascular health and beyond. Lowering triglycerides is especially helpful for Terri, because triglycerides are more of a risk factor for heart disease than cholesterol - especially in women.

Terri's lungpower is on the rise, too.

Terri's office is on the second floor. Before she started PACE, she would always take the elevator. Now she bounds up the 25 steps three or four times a day without thinking about it.

Praise for PACE From World-Renowned Doctors

"Dr. Sears blows away the conventional medical wisdom - could it be that cardio training is bad for your health? Dr. Sears makes the impossible seem possible, well written and referenced. This changes everything."

Ronald Klatz, MD, DO
Founder and President American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine

"Dr. Al Sears has distinguished himself as a leader in the area of Anti-Aging Medicine and recently in cell and telomere biology. Now, he boldly introduces the PACE fitness program. This challenges present day exercise theory. However, the program is backed by considerable research, and I predict will become a standard part of a progressive Anti-Aging Protocol."

Frederic J. Vagnini, MD, FACS
Medical Director of the Heart, Diabetes and Weight Loss Centers of NY

"If you exercise, you should read this book, and immediately improve the quality of your workout time. If you don't exercise, you should read this book, and start right away on the road to a longer, healthier, more vibrant life."

Frank Shallenberger, MD, HMD, ABAAM
Medical Director, The Nevada Center For Anti-Aging Medicine

"Dr. Sears masterfully explains how we can flip the switches that allow access to the store of human vitality that resides within each one of us. We understood how to do this when we were young and now Dr. Sears gives us the evidence-based means to tap into our potency, strength, and stamina with intention."

Paul L. Hester, MD, MBA

"Unlike any exercise program that's come before it, PACE enables you to get fit and stay fit regardless of where you started. It gives your body the chance to make the changes you need to stay lean, trim and disease-free."

Dr. Lynne Kavulich
Founder and Director of the American Wellness Center

PACE Is a Growing Revolution

PACE is already practiced by thousands of people in dozens of countries around the world.

PACE overturns years of failed ideas and exercise advice. PACE upends current exercise trends by revealing their flaws and offering a more effective, more natural way.

PACE stand for Progressively Accelerating Cardiopulmonary Exertion. It's an approach I developed to help my patients get long-term results no matter how de-conditioned or out-of-shape they were.

You can start PACE anywhere and at any level.

For Terri, all she could do when she started was walk. But today she's lost over 68 pounds and can sprint up hill.

PACE shows you how to replace flawed and ineffective theories that were mistakenly accepted without proof with what really works.

In a matter of weeks, you'll:

Build strength and reserve capacity in your heart and lungs.
Avoid heart attacks and cardiovascular disease.
Develop a powerful and disease-resistant immune system.
Dramatically boost your energy levels.
Burn fat while you rest like never before.

The key to PACE's amazing effectiveness is already designed in your metabolism in something I call your "adaptive response." PACE allows your body to make adaptive responses that sculpt your body and strengthen your internal organs. PACE activates these changes, like flipping a switch.

Click Here to Get Started!

PACE is so revolutionary - and so often imitated - the U.S. Patent Office awarded me an exclusive service mark (Reg. No. 2,950,571).

For our ancient ancestors this was natural. They didn't run marathons or jump around for an hour at a time without a break. They exerted themselves in brief bursts, then rest. It was a matter of survival.

The metabolism you have right now is a result of this lifestyle. Millions of years of evolution have crafted the heart that's beating in your chest at this very moment. This pattern of brief intensity, followed by rest, is hardwired in your genes.

Your genes define the kind of movement and exertion you need to survive and stay fit. Your muscles, bones, and organ systems are reflections of this genetic design. And the way they work together with the challenges of your environment is the formula for strength, vitality, and long life.

The trigger that makes it happen is already within you, waiting to be activated.

This natural rhythm produces:

Expanded lung volume.
High-speed fat loss.
Reserve capacity in your heart.
A higher metabolic rate with increased insulin sensitivity.
New muscle growth and stronger bones.
Better sexual performance.

"I only started PACE five days ago, have had three workouts on a stationary bicycle, and have already lost 3 lbs., 2 1/2 inches around my waist, 1 inch off my hips, 1 inch off my bust, and 1 inch off of each thigh. And my resting heart rate has dropped by a full 10 beats!!"

Gia B., Los Angeles, CA

"It's a miracle. I weighed 121 lbs. my entire life until I turned 45. Then I started packing on the pounds - and I couldn't get the weight off! I had tried what seemed like thousands of diets. After I retired, I came to see Dr. Sears. I ended up losing 24 lbs., right off the bat! Now I'm remembering the good old days! I'm so happy; I could kiss Dr. Sears right now!"

Margaret V., Loxahatchee Groves, FL

"After 30 days, I have lost 5 lbs. and 1 inch from my waist. I am 70 years old and I have noticed more energy and lung capacity. Great program. You are on to something BIG with this program."

Gerald P., Marysville, WA

"I have been using PACE with my recumbent bicycle for about 8 weeks now. So far I have lost about 6 pounds, and my clothes are looser. I am particularly grateful to PACE as I had spent months exercising with 'traditional aerobics' only to see no results or a few pounds of gain (ugh!). Finally, I feel like I have broken out of that rut and have momentum going toward weight loss and improved health."

Patty S., Newfane, VT

But here's what surprised even me about PACE...

Relight Your Native Afterburner

PACE puts your body into "fat burning" mode.

Imagine flipping a switch inside your body that tells it to stop making fat - and burn off all the excess fat you currently have... now you're starting to get the picture.

How does PACE do this? Part of the trick is about when you tell your body to burn off its fat.

Long-duration exercise like aerobics and cardio burn fat during your workout. Sounds good, right? Not at all. This sends a message to your body that you need a reserve of fat available for the next time you do long-duration exercise.

This self-defeating cycle ensures that your body makes more fat every time you finish exercising.

That's why you may have such a hard time losing fat at the gym. Every time you burn fat during exercise, you body reacts by making more.

PACE sessions can be as short as 12 minutes. And they never last more than 20 minutes. That means your body never has a chance to burn fat during exercise. During PACE, your body burns carbs from muscle tissue.

This triggers your "afterburner." After you finish your PACE session, your body will burn fat to replace the carbs it just used. In fact, your body continues to burn fat for up to 24 hours after you finish... even while you sleep.

After a while, your body stops making fat. It simply doesn't need it. This after burn is the key to getting rid of excess body fat, not long hours of boring exercise.

My clinic is not the only place to document this amazing discovery...

Burn Up to 9 Times MORE Fat
by Exercising LESS

To illustrate just how powerful the effects of this after burn are, take a look at this: Researchers in Quebec's Laval University divided exercisers into two groups: long-duration and repeated short-duration.3

They had the long-duration group cycle 45 minutes without interruption. The short-duration group cycled in multiple short bursts of 15 to 90 seconds, with rests in between.

The long-duration group burned twice as many calories, so you would assume they would burn more fat. However, when the researchers recorded their body composition measurements, the short-burst group showed the most fat loss.

"Dr. Sears helped me go from a size 16 to a size 10. I am very happy with the way I look now. I actually have a waist! My neighbor hadn't seen me in 3 months and could hardly recognize me. She was amazed and said, 'What on earth have you been doing? You look so good!' For the first time in my life, I'm looking forward to the future."

Theadora W., Wellington, FL

"I am now completing my 'rookie year' as a cop and at 60, I am fully able to handle the daily rigors of the job. I owe most of that to PACE."

Mark P., Liberty, MO

In fact, the short-burst group lost 9 times more fat than the endurance group for every calorie burned!

You may be thinking - doesn't this defy the laws of physics? Not really, when you realize that exercise continues to affect your metabolism after you stop. The short bursts stimulated a greater after burn. In my practice, even I must admit to being surprised by the power of short bursts to burn fat and make people lean when cardio hadn't.

In addition, exertion in brief bursts followed by recovery will produce other benefits to your metabolic health that will surprise you.

Here are just a few:

Raise Your Levels of Human Growth Hormone: This is your body's "anti-aging" hormone. It's been shown to build muscle, melt fat, improve bone density, raise your "good" cholesterol, and reverse the negative effects of aging. Blood levels of this hormone rise dramatically during and immediately after PACE-type exercise. (Traditional aerobic exercise has no effect.)
Burn More Calories: PACE turbo-charges your metabolism. After intense bursts of exercise, your body needs to burn extra calories to repair muscles, replenish energy, and bring your body back to its "normal" state. This process takes anywhere from a few hours up to a whole day - meaning you'll burn calories long after your workout is over.
Get More Strength and Greater Fitness in Less Time: After a few weeks of a "cardio" routine, you stop making progress and hit a "plateau." PACE helps you break through those dead spots and keeps you moving forward. Within just a few months of PACE, you'll be able to pump more blood and deliver more oxygen to your muscles - raising your energy levels like never before.
Build a More Powerful Heart: The PACE program gives your heart a boost you'll never get from traditional aerobic exercise. Because PACE demands more oxygen, your heart adapts by increasing both its heart rate and stroke volume (the amount of blood your heart can pump in one beat). This increased pumping power makes your heart stronger - and last longer.

MSNBC Warns about the Dangers of Long-Distance Running:

Are You Running Yourself to Death?

Participating in a Marathon Can Put Severe Stress on Your Body

This is the headline that reminded the world of Dr. Arthur Siegel's groundbreaking research into the dangers of long-distance running.

His studies were published in the American Heart Association's journal Circulation. Results were sobering. The "inflammatory storm" triggered by the stress of running a marathon creates all the symptoms of heart disease.

As Dr. Siegel puts it, "Your body doesn't know whether you've run a marathon. or been hit by a truck."

The impact of these studies is consistently glossed over by the media. But the message is clear: Your body was not designed for running marathons.

PACE makes long, boring routines a thing of the past. PACE consists of short bouts of intensity followed by rest and recovery. Total exertion is never more than 20 minutes.

PACE gives you bigger muscles, a leaner body and more energy than you know what to do with. and you bypass all the dangers of traditional exercise.

Reference: McGrath T. "Are You Running Yourself to Death?"
MSNBC.com. Nov 1, 2008.

Leading British Newspaper Reveals:

Six Minutes of Exercise a Week 'Is as Good as Six Hours'

Just six minutes of intense exercise a week does as much to improve a person's fitness as a regime of six hours, according to a study.

Moderately healthy men and women could cut their workouts from two hours a day, three times a week, to just two minutes a day and still achieve the same results, claim medical researchers.

The two-minute workout requires cycling furiously on a stationary bike in four 30-second bursts. Professor Martin Gibala, the author of the study,
said: "The whole excuse that 'I don't have enough time to exercise' is directly challenged by these findings. This has the potential to change the way we think about keeping fit.

This article shares the findings of a leading research team at McMaster University in Ontario, Canada and highlights one of the PACE principles: short bursts of intensity.

Later in the article, Dr. Gibala added:

"We thought there would be benefits but we did not expect them to be this obvious. It shows how effective short intense exercise can be."

This is no surprise. short bouts of high-intensity exertion trigger adaptive changes in your body. Blood sugar is used more efficiently, fat is easily burned and your performance ability skyrockets.

But intensity is only one part of the PACE. To be effective - especially over time - applying rest, recovery and progressive changes is critical. These are the missing pieces most researchers overlook.

Stay Independent and Mobile As You Age

After Terri used PACE, climbing stairs was easy. Being able to climb a flight of stairs without getting winded is a great victory for her. And, it's an important skill for you to maintain as you age.

Getting out of bed, out of a car, climbing stairs, picking up packages or boxes, carrying children or groceries are abilities that keep you independent and mobile as you age.

No one wants to end up in a wheelchair, stuck in an assisted-living facility or dependent on friends or family. And that's one of the key features of PACE: Building functional strength you can use in your daily life.

The good news is that you don't have to go to a gym or lift weights to build real strength. You can do it anywhere, and at anytime. In your house, on the road... wherever.

I use a specially designed set of calisthenics and body-weight exercises with PACE. You don't need any equipment or expensive trainers.

Terri used just a few calisthenics with remarkable results. Aside from being able to fly up a flight of stairs, Terri reports having more endurance, more physical strength, and the ability to do chores and daily activities that used to wear her out.

When you try PACE for yourself, I'll show you exactly how to do them. It's much easier than you think. And it's never boring. You'll feel exhilarated, not worn out.

In this letter, I've touched on just a few facets of PACE that deliver big results fast.

But to make sure you get all these benefits for yourself, I want to give you more...

Water or Coke?

Very interesting



WATER

#1. 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated.
  (Likely applies to half the world population)

#2. In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak
that it is mistaken for hunger.

#3.    Even MILD dehydration will slow down one's metabolism as 3%.

#4.   One glass of water will shut down midnight hunger pangs
    <for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a University of
Washington study.

#5.     Lack of water, the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue.

#6.    Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of
     water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain
for up to 80% of sufferers.

#7.    A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term
      memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on
the computer screen or on a printed page.

#8.. Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of
    colon cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the risk of breast
cancer by 79%., and one is 50% less likely to develop
bladder cancer. Are you drink ing the amount of water
you should drink every day?

COKE

#1.    In many states the highway patrol carries
      two gallons of Coke in the trunk to remove blood from
the highway after a car accident.

#2.     You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of Coke
and it will be gone in two days.

#3.    To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the
    toilet bowl and let the 'real thing' sit for one hour,
then flush clean. The citric acid in Coke removes
stains from vitreous china.

#4.    To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers:
      Rub the bumper with a rumpled-up piece of Reynolds
Wrap aluminum foil dipped in Coca-Cola.

#5.    To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour
     a can of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble
away the corrosion.

#6.   To loosen a rusted bolt: Apply a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola
to the rusted bolt for several minutes.

#7.    To bake a moist ham: Empty a can of Coca-Cola into
  the baking pan, wrap the ham in aluminum foil, and bake.
Thirty minutes before ham is finished, remove the foil, allowing the drippings to mix
with the Coke for a sumptuous brown gravy.

#8...   To remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of Coke
  into the load of greasy clothes, add detergent, and run
through a regular cycle. The Coca-Cola will help loosen
grease stains. It will also clean road haze from your
windshield.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION:

#1     the active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid.
It will dissolve a nail in about four days. Phosphoric
acid also leaches calcium from bones and is a major
contributor to the rising increase of osteoporosis.

Friday, January 15th

In the Tuesday issue of Total Health Breakthroughs, I began a discussion of grains. But the focus was not on their high glycemic index and effect on your blood sugar. We have covered that many times before. This week, we're looking at the "anti-nutrients" in grains, and the fact that a grain-fed diet is foreign to our genetic blueprint. We continue the discussion today...

Stone Agers Living in the Space Age...

We call the modern era the "Space Age." And considering that we regularly send men and machines into space, the description fits. The acceleration of our technological achievements in the last century is astounding. In fact, with the advent of portable personal computers, our world has changed drastically in just the last ten years.

But we are not advancing rapidly in every respect. In some ways our pace of change is glacially slow. While the world around us might change rapidly, the world within us has hardly changed at all in hundreds of thousands of years.

And that can pose problems when it comes to our health.

You are what you eat... But you are also what your ancestors ate...

The vast majority of your genetic blueprint - 99.99% of it - was formed more than 10,000 years ago. In other words, your genetic makeup is virtually identical to your ancient Paleolithic ancestors. Those genes were shaped over a period of millions of years.

That means that certain foods and nutrients - the same ones your ancient biological ancestors consumed - are literally hard-wired into your biology. When you feed your body the foods to which it is genetically adapted, health, vitality and leanness come naturally.

On the other hand, when we feed our bodies foods that are foreign to our genetic blueprint, we experience disease and dysfunction. And while our genetic physiology has hardly changed in hundreds of thousands of years... the foods we feed those genes have changed dramatically.

The Agricultural Revolution...

Early man knew that he could not eat grains. Not only were these foods difficult to gather in quantity, but they were toxic in their raw state (the same is true for beans and potatoes). Then a breakthrough changed the course of history and our diet, forever.

About 10,000 years ago, we learned that preparing and cooking grains in a certain way neutralized enough of the toxins to make them edible. And thus the Agricultural Revolution was born.

Many positive changes came with agriculture. We didn't have to spend so much time foraging, so we were able to specialize. Culture, architecture and knowledge flourished. And because these foods could be grown in abundance and stored for later use, population grew more rapidly.

At the same time, however, our health began to deteriorate. Skeletal evidence clearly shows that we became shorter in stature, frailer and prone to nutritional stress as our diet became more grain-fed.

The Industrial Revolution...

The advent of machinery changed our diet even more. Only in the last hundred years have we begun to consume vast amounts of refined grains, refined sugar and processed vegetable oils.

None of these foods are compatible with the genetic blueprint we share with our Paleolithic ancestors. And we have not had nearly enough time to adapt.

When we are used to thinking in terms of minutes, hours and years, evolutionary timetables are hard to grasp. See if this puts in perspective just how rapid this change has been. There were 100,000 generations of our ancestors that survived as hunter-gatherers. And yet only two generations have grown up on highly processed, fast food.

We are truly Stone Agers, living in the Space Age.

Plants and animals develop a wide variety of defense and survival mechanisms...

Flowers produce nectar, so that insects and birds will come along for a sip, coat their bodies with pollen and fly off to deposit that pollen on another plant. Fruit and berries are sweet and delicious so that animals will consume them - seeds and all - and then deposit those seeds in another location.

And for the same reason that animals develop claws to defend themselves, some plants produce toxins.

Grains, beans and potatoes don't "want" to be eaten... and they produce "anti-nutrients" to ensure it

Grains, beans and potatoes last so long in storage for a specific reason. These foods have enzyme blockers that stop them from sprouting until the conditions are just right. In fact, in many cases seeds and grains that have been found buried with mummies readily germinate when they are exposed to warmth and moisture.

But these enzyme blockers are also very effective at blocking digestive enzymes within the human body. This can disrupt digestion and also cause stress to the pancreas, which has to over-produce enzymes to make up for those that are destroyed.

These plants have other compounds such as lectins, glycoalkaloids and phytates that function as natural pesticides. They can ward off attack from bacteria, insects, worms, rodents... and humans.

Over millennia certain insects, birds and rodents have genetically adapted to these foods. Their bodies can neutralize these anti-nutrients without damaging the animal. But because these foods are so new to humans, we have not developed these same adaptations.

The nutritional consequences of anti-nutrients...

You have certainly heard about people who are "gluten intolerant" or celiac. These are people who have a powerful inflammatory and immune reaction to an anti-nutrient protein found in common grains like wheat, rye and barley.

About 1 to 2% of the population is completely intolerant of ANY amount of gluten. But studies have shown that as much as 30% of the population has some level of inflammatory reaction to this compound. The damage is there, but the symptoms are not acute enough for some people to notice. And we are eating these foods every day.

Experts believe that gluten and other anti-nutrients play a major role in many "unexplained" diseases. A recent review in the New England Journal of Medicine listed 55 diseases that can be caused by eating gluten. And these are not just gastrointestinal disorders. Many include neurological and psychiatric conditions. In fact, some highly autistic children have experienced a complete or near-complete remission of symptoms, simply by removing yeast and gluten from the diet.

Lectins: master code-breakers...

Other anti-nutrient compounds contained in these plants are called lectins. In an article on anti-nutrients, Dr. Ben Balzer, M.D. writes the following about lectins:

"They are like master code-breakers. The cells of our bodies are studded with receptors which are like code pads to ensure stimulation only under the correct circumstances. Lectins have the ability to crack these codes and stimulate the receptors causing a variety of responses - covering the full repertoire of the cell and even tricking the cell into doing things it normally cannot do."

Lectins also have the ability to bypass our usual defenses. That means they can travel all over the body wreaking havoc.

A short list of what lectins can do:

Cause the pancreas to release insulin
Bind to insulin receptors on cells and make those cells act as if they have been stimulated by insulin
Cause leptin resistance (worsening the symptoms of metabolic syndrome)
Strip the protective mucus off the intestinal lining
Cause the gut to become "leaky" allowing larger undigested molecules to enter the bloodstream, triggering the immune response
Bind to blood cells causing clots to form
Stimulate cell to secrete hormones
Promote cell division at the wrong time or cause cell death (apoptosis)
Cause enlargement of the pancreas
Activate the immune system inappropriately - leading to "autoimmune disease"

These are just a few of the anti-nutrients that are in grains, beans and potatoes. There are also phytates, compounds that can cause nutritional deficiencies by binding to important minerals and blocking their absorption by the body.

Most anti-nutrients can be neutralized in our foods by proper cooking and preparation. However, we don't always prepare our foods that way. Today there are more and more quick-rising breads, granola cereals and unprocessed bran concoctions. And even when we do prepare our foods properly, a surprising amount can still remain.

I am not trying to be alarmist. And I'm not saying you should never have a piece of toast or a baked potato or bowl of pasta. Obviously most of us can tolerate these foods to some extent.

But with so many people experiencing unexplained illness and general malaise, it is worth understanding that these foods could be a potential cause. And in any case, the glycemic value of these foods should dictate that they only make up a small part of your overall diet.

How to Develop a Multimillionaire Mindset

A man observes evergreens growing along the roadside and thinks that they look pretty, covered with snow. Another man sees the same trees and thinks, "These trees would look good in people's living rooms at Christmas. I wonder what they would pay for them?"

The first man has an ordinary mind. The second, the mind of a natural-born moneymaker.

In The Prime Movers, Edwin A. Locke provides some interesting insights into the way moneymakers think:

He argues that an active, inquisitive mind is a hallmark of the successful entrepreneur. The most successful entrepreneurs in history, he says, had this sort of mind.

Thomas Edison: He was a "virtual thinking machine. Almost until the day he died, his mind poured forth a torrent of ideas, and he might track as many as 60 experiments at a time in his laboratory."

Steve Jobs: He bombarded people with his ideas – his investors, his board of directors, his customers, his subordinates, and his CEO.

Henry Ford: "He threw himself into every detail, insisting on getting small things absolutely right... But he never lost sight of the ultimate, overall objection. He had a vision of what his new car (the Model T) should look like. From all the improvisation, hard thought, and hard work came a machine that was at once the simplest and the most sophisticated automobile built to date anywhere in the world."

Take my friend Bernard...

I have a friend, an émigré from Manchester England, who has this kind of moneymaking mind. I have known him for more than twenty years. During that time he has started at least a dozen successful companies. Every company he forms, it seems, becomes successful very quickly. He has become a wealthy man and enjoys a wealthy man's lifestyle, but his interest in making money has never waned.

In that respect he is very different from me. I became wealthy by making plans and working my ass off. And once I made more than I needed I stopped paying attention to it.

He made his money effortlessly. Or so it always seemed. And he continues to make money because he really enjoys the process.

He makes money not just by starting successful businesses and investing in real estate (my primary vehicles) but by buying and selling exotic cars, boats, antiques and expensive watches. Every time I see him he is driving a new car. One month it's a Bentley. The next month it's a Ferrari. He buys slightly used cars and enjoys them and then turns them over for a profit. He has become an expert in barter and countertrade. He never pays full price for anything. He knows how to get the best price for everything. And he loves the game.

Bernard may not have my net worth, but he's got more than enough for the rest of his life and he seems to enjoy making money much more than I do.

I admire that about him. I like talking to him about all his recent deals. His excitement gets me excited. It also embarrasses me when I discover that he pays a fraction of what I pay for just about everything.

What if you don't have the Mind?

I have another friend, Jeff, who used to be my partner. He was making $400,000 a year when he suddenly sold his business and retired. Today he makes a living teaching Tai Chi. His income is modest, but he lives in a beautiful house, belongs to a private yacht club and takes vacations every two months.

Like Bernard, Jeff enjoys his life. He works when he wants to, rests when he wants to and enjoys the best that life has to offer.

Jeff's secret is that he knows how to buy the best of everything for pennies on the dollar. I am always amazed at how he and his wife can meet us in Chicago, Nicaragua or China, stay at fine hotels and do everything we do but on a budget.

I'm convinced that Jeff and Bernard both have very special brains minds. Like Edison, Jobs and Ford, they think differently than I do.

Raw intelligence is not the issue. These guys are smart but don't think they are any smarter than I am. And anyway, if it were a matter of intelligence, Einstein and a slew of other geniuses would have been wealthy men.

I call what Bernard and Jeff have the multimillionaire's mindset. I've also called it the Rich Mind.

This is the first of several essays I'll be writing on this point: how to think like a multimillionaire.

And here's the goal: to discover exactly how they do what they do by figuring out how they think. If you study this and subsequent essays seriously – and implement the suggestions I'll be making – you may be able to "upgrade" your brain to one that will allow you to have the kind of life they enjoy.

I'm not doing this for you. I'm doing it for myself. I've mastered one part of the equation: making money through entrepreneurship. But the other part – enjoying a multimillionaire's lifestyle on a limited budget – has so far eluded me.

Some Preliminary Observations

To get started, here are some observations I've made from studying my two friends and from reading about great wealth builders like Jobs and Edison and Ford.

1. A "normal" person is concerned with protecting his ego. When dealing with a problem he doesn't really understand, he pretends he understands the contributing factors and doesn't try to find out what anyone else thinks. A person with a multimillionaire mind asks questions inces-santly. He has no ego when it comes to learning. He knows that knowledge is power.

2. A "normal" person has a consumer mentality. He looks at a hot new product and thinks about how he would like to own one. A person with a multimillionaire mind has an entrepreneurial men-tality. He looks at it and thinks, "How can I produce this or something similar in my own industry?"

3. A "normal" person is wish-focused. He daydreams about making gobs of money. A person with a multimillionaire mind is reality-based. He is always analyzing his own success and the success of others and wondering how he could learn from it.

4. A "normal" person, when confronted with a challenging idea, thinks of all the reasons why it might not work. A person with a multimillionaire mind sees the potential in it and disregards the problems until he has a clear vision of how it might succeed.

5. A "normal" person resists change. A person with a multimillionaire mind embraces it.

6. A "normal" person accepts the status quo. A person with a multimillionaire mind is always looking to make things – even good things – better.

7. A "normal" person reacts. A person with a multimillionaire mind is proactive.

8. A "normal" person looks at a successful business owner and thinks, "That guy's lucky." Or "That guy's a shyster." A person with a multimillionaire mind thinks, "What's his secret?" And, "How can I do that?"

Most importantly, a person with a multimillionaire's mind likes living like a multimillionaire. He doesn't shortchange himself when it comes to comfort and luxury. Rather than believing always that pain leads to gain, he thinks, "If I'm smart I can have my cake and eat it too.

You can start your mental transformation by studying this list and assessing your own impulses. Be honest. Identify the habits you don't have and try to develop them. Rather than think of this process as work, think of it as fun.

I've been talking about this rich mind concept for years. Everybody at ETR has had it drummed into him or her. Charlie Byrne, our senior editor and consultant, has taken a special interest in it. He's been studying my friends and other natural moneymakers for years. He's especially interested – like I am – in not just making the money, but enjoying the process.

A while ago, Charlie came to us with a proposal for a new product. He wanted to create the first newsletter that explored wealth building from this particular perspective. "Most of the newsletters out there are about investing in stocks and bonds and futures and so on," he explained. "But there are so many other ways to make money. And so many ways to save money. I want to do a newsletter that's about having fun with it and living the lifestyle."

He got the inspiration when he was visiting Wall Street on a research project. Several blocks from Wall Street is another street called Liberty Street. Charlie decided to name the newsletter after that.

He worked with a guy named Charles Newcastle, a bona-fide moneymaker with a multimillionaire's mind. Charles began his career as a commodity and currency futures trader back in the 1980's. Since then, he has launched 41 successful businesses (and advised on many more). Charles has been successful in real estate, money management, collectibles, Internet ventures, software development and database marketing to name a few.

But the most important thing to keep in mind is that he didn't lose one dime in the market in 2008 and 2009.

Together they have been working on the concept for about six months. They beta tested the newsletter as a membership club and have been adding new benefits to it almost every week.

Last month, for the first time, I had a chance to see the new working model. It was pretty exciting, I have to say. It incorporated my own ideas and many more. It's something I intend to read in the future, to upgrade my own brain. I want to be able to enjoy the fun of making money and the pleasures that go with it. And I want to be able to get all these good deals that Bernard and Jeff enjoy. I think this club will be able to help me do that.

Liberty Street League will cover all sorts of moneymaking opportunities. Not just stocks and bonds and real estate, but commodities, precious metals, bonds, and other "under-the-radar" investments.

But it won't be a guru-driven newsletter. Charles will be looking all over the world, starting with my friends, to find out how people are having fun making money today.

I've been impressed with the contributions they have secured for the new, revamped issues. Included among the experts are none other than the likes of Doug Casey, Jim Rogers, Charles Newcastle, Marc Faber, Gary North, and Alexander Green, among many other professionals.

Here's an example of what they will be offering, base on a sales letter that they are finishing up right now:

How to invest in an "undercover" profit opportunity 99 out of 100 people are not aware of - yet one that could generate more than $28,000 in just a few weeks time...

The "secret" method the airlines will never tell you for flying around the world for practically nothing (or perhaps just jet off to the Caribbean to escape the cold winter)...

How to rake in a 200% return on an investment in "The Green Technology Revolution"...

Using your hidden "home equity" to collect an extra $500 by next weekend, repeatable week after week – even if you don't own a house (plus, you don't have to pay this back)...

Paying off your Visa or MasterCard thanks to "reclaiming" the $4,302 your family threw away on gasoline last year? (this government "rebate" loophole is closing fast)...

How to collect $500 to $1000 in hidden home equity

An insider's guide to building massive wealth (toss away money worries if you follow this simple plan)...

The safe (and fun) way to real estate profits (without owning a single property)...

How "Digital Farmers" are reaping massive cash crops (without getting their hands dirty)...

Buying and selling this can be a lucrative side business (and the start up costs are minimal)...

Insider dope: how to profit 15% to 40% from the "Great Diamond Hoax"...

How the secret of Baron Rothschild could treat you "royally" too...

Invest in "The Other Side Of Gold" safely And watch your portfolio sparkle...

The safest way to make 200% in the next two years From the "green" technology revolution...

How to collect $1000 to $1 million from Uncle Sam...

Buying cars at deep, deep discounts...

Never pay in full for magazines...

"Chill Weekends" that make buying overseas real estate fun and profitable...

Plus they've convinced me to throw in the manuscript I've been writing on the subject...it's not exhaustive, but it does have some good ideas. Like...

How to buy a car as good as a Ferrari... at one sixth the price...

Easy ways to make a modest, three-bedroom home as comfortable as a king's palace...

Warren Buffett's trick for creating the perfect (and ultra-productive) office environment...

The secret to adding "stolen moments" of pleasure to your everyday schedule.

As I said, I'm going to be joining LSL so that I can be stimulated by all these good ideas. You can do so too with a very small investment.... just ten cents a day...or you can make the change yourself by reading future articles in ETR on the subject and getting to work on changing your mental habits, as I've explained in the first part of this essay.

If the newsletter interests you, check out the Liberty Street League here.

He is also the founder and director of The Wellness Research Foundation, a non-profit organization involved in on-going original research to evaluate natural alternatives to pharmaceutical therapies.

When the rest of the world catches up - this little-known West African herb could potentially become recognized as the most effective weight loss supplement ever discovered.

But you can start using it to drop pounds - and lose inches - RIGHT NOW!

My own enhanced version of this formula is ready today. It's even more effective than the compound researchers used in the clinical tests. I'll show you how to get started in this letter.

First, I want you to see the results.

Imagine watching yourself in the mirror... every week you get slimmer and slimmer. Fat starts to melt. Your waist starts to shrink and get firmer. You put on your favorite pair of jeans and they fall down around your ankles.

Sounds great, right? But it gets better. In addition to all that fat loss you start to feel better too... You have more energy; more stamina and you feel more optimistic.

When you go to the doctor for your annual check up your blood tests come back with amazing results: your blood sugar, cholesterol and triglycerides have all improved.

Your doctor is stunned. What on earth did you do?

You smile and say, "All I did was take this little pill."

It sounds like a dream. But it's just become reality.

The people in this study - which was published in the medical journal Lipids in Health and Disease - lost an average of 28 pounds and 6 inches off their waist. And they didn't change their diet or exercise habits.1

Reset Your Body Clock and Burn Fat Like You Did Years Ago

There's an all-natural herb that grows deep in the forests of West Africa. And it helps reset your body to the point where you naturally and easily resist the production of new fat cells.

Remember the days when you could eat anything you wanted... and nothing made you fat? There's a reason why. Your body had the right balance of certain factors that control the size and production of fat cells.

It's easy when you're young. But as you age, things get thrown off balance. Especially when the food you eat is processed and full of additives and chemicals. This interferes with the signals that move between the cells in your body.

That's why it's hard to lose weight as you age... even you when you try your best to eat right and exercise.

This herb improves those signals and resets your body's delicate machinery. When it regains its balance your body has the ability to control fat production - just like it did when you were younger.

This Miracle Nutrient Helps Burn Fat Away...

Staying lean and trim as you age is not easy. You can eat right and exercise and still end up with a "spare tire" around your waist. It doesn't seem fair.

But if you know why this is happening you can do something about it.

The West African herb - called irvingia gabonensis - can help you get that extra weight off. It's one of the all-star nutrients in my new slimming formula Primal Lean.

How does it work?

Your body has a "signal network" that controls your fat cells.

If this communication system breaks down, your fat cells get bigger and bigger... and you get more and more of them.

As you age that's exactly what happens.

Fat Signal #1: Burning Fat for Energy - Naturally

When things are running smoothly, your fat cells produce leptin. This messenger sends out two signals: One, it tells your brain you're full. That shuts down your hunger. Two, it tells the fat inside your cells to breakdown into a kind of fat that can be burned as energy.

When these signals are working, you don't get hungry as often and your fat gets burned naturally.

But when too many fat cells build up, a protein called CRP sticks to the leptin and prevents it from delivering its message to your brain. Signal lost.

This is called leptin resistance. The bottom line is you'll always feel hungry and the fat inside your cells will stay there forever.

When this happens it triggers a series of other signal problems.

Fat Signal #2: Controlling Sensitivity to the "Fat Hormone"

Another messenger - adiponectin - controls your sensitivity to insulin. When you have lots of adiponectin, your body responds well to insulin and everything is fine - your waist is small, your heart is healthy and your arteries are clear.

But as you age, your levels of this critical fat signal drop... then you're more likely to get bigger and fatter.

Fat Signal #3: The Bad Guy... Turning Blood Sugar into Fat

The 3rd messenger is actually a bad guy you want to get rid of... it's called glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. This enzyme turns blood sugar into fat. Not what you want.

The magic behind Primal Lean is its ability to restore your body's signal network. After a few weeks the leptin signal to your brain is reconnected, adiponectin levels rise and the bad guy - the fat making enzyme - gets cut off.

Problem solved.

You see, as you age these fat signals get thrown off. No matter how much you exercise or how well you eat you could always be vulnerable to age-related fat gain.

Unless, of course, you have a communication network that's firing on all cylinders. When it does, it's a beautiful thing to see. Extra weight and fat simply begin disappearing - in a matter of weeks!

How many years have you been fighting the love handles... the pot belly? Probably decades. In 10 weeks or less you'll drop a good chunk of that extra fat... I guarantee it.

Compared to years of struggle 10 weeks seems to happen overnight.

As Soon as I Discovered this Breakthrough Fat Buster

I read this study back in December. Within days I had a dozen sample bottles. As the Christmas holiday approached I already had a few volunteers.

One my patients - Arlene H. - started taking this weight loss herb on December 18, 2008. Here's an excerpt from her letter:

I'm always interested in new Dr. Sears formulas so I was excited - although a bit skeptical - to hear about this new weight loss herb from Africa. I started taking it right before the holidays, so I was probably eating more than I normally do, but I noticed an effect within a few weeks. My hips and waist started to feel tighter.

My "love handles" were the big deal for me... it was the only place I really felt self-conscious. I have this favorite pair of white, Capri-style jeans and I could not get them on. They were so tight I just left them in the closet. After a while I broke down and bought a few other pairs of jeans that were a few inches bigger in the waist. These were my new "fat clothes."

But luckily, after about 7 or 8 weeks I didn't need them anymore. I slimmed down and in spite of all the holiday food I got back into the Capri pants... Even better, my "fat jeans" started to slide right off me... it feels like a real victory. But honestly I didn't do anything. I didn't change the way I eat and I didn't really exercise... After the ten-week period I asked Dr. Sears if I could keep going. I didn't want to give up this new fat loss secret... who would?!

Arlene H.; Wellington, FL

This is a typical response. Everyone who tries it has something good to say about it... And when they run out they're always want more. No one wants to stop taking it.

When you have a good thing going, why stop?

Primal Lean may be one of the best ways to firm up and tone down - without spending hours in the gym or forcing yourself to eat bird food.

Before the study, the group taking the herb in Primal Lean averaged 215 pounds. After the study they averaged 187 pounds - for a net average loss of 28 pounds.

The control group started at 212 pounds and went to 211 pounds. They lost an average of one pound, which means nothing happened.

But hold on a sec, there's more to this than burning fat.

Remember... This bombshell study first appeared in the journal Lipids in Health and Disease. "Lipids" means "fatty acids," like cholesterol. The editors of this medical journal were more interested in the remarkable way this herb normalizes blood fats.

Recognize any of these names?

Total cholesterol... HDL... LDL... Blood glucose... C-reactive protein...

These are some of the terms you'll find on your blood tests when you go to a doctor. Like the "fat signals" that normalize your body's natural fat burning, this West African herb has the power to "normalize" other parts of your body too.

This kind of herb is called an adaptogen. An adaptogen is a natural substance that helps your body adapt to stress and exerts a normalizing effect on bodily processes. Ginseng is a good example.

But this potent weight loss herb is more powerful. It's more than just a tonic you take for increased energy. It has very specific talents. It ramps up your body's ability to burn fat and may help promote normal cholesterol and c-reactive protein levels.

That makes it a monumental find.

If you take this herb by itself you'll get great results.

But there's a Way to Make it Better...
A Way to Make it Stronger and More Effective

I didn't just take an herb and put it in a bottle. I made it better.

Ironically, I found out about this new herb while I was working on another fat buster called fucoxanthin. (Pronounced: fu co ZAN thin) This is a seaweed extract with powerful fat burning properties. Fucoxanthin was discovered by Japanese researchers quite by accident.

When a group of Japanese marine biologists fed their study animals with fucoxanthin something remarkable happened... a microscopic protein - called UCP1 - suddenly became active.

This protein turns up your metabolic furnace and lets your cells burn fat for energy - not during exercise but while you're resting.

This nutritious and very safe seaweed extract actually flips your metabolic switch and "turns on" your body's fat burning machinery.

Clinical tests suggest fucoxanthin is a powerful fat buster. Many are animal tests but there are some very exciting human tests too.

The Japanese researchers were startled by the results. So they went work. In a series of experiments they gave two groups of mice the same diet, but one group supplemented with fucoxanthin.

In the fat tissue of the mice that supplemented with fucoxanthin the researchers found high levels of the fat-burning protein UCP1. As a result, those mice lost a significant amount of fat. In the control group there was no difference.2

The same researchers later discovered that fucoxanthin even prevented potential fat cells from "growing up" and becoming mature fat cells.3

Not only does fucoxanthin help you burn fat you already have... it helps prevent the formation of future fat cells. It stops fat dead in its tracks.

Clinical studies suggest fucoxanthin may be effective for people too. The trials were finished last year and the studies have been submitted for publication. From what I've seen, they look impressive.

In the test group, people taking fucoxanthin lost an average of 15 pounds in four months. The people in the control group lost just three pounds. Those are good numbers.4

Here's another bonus: fucoxanthin also helps suppress your appetite. This effect is not part of the scientific literature but it's something I've noticed when I take it myself. Many of my patients have the same experience.

I'm Very Excited about Primal Lean - The Results are
Jaw Dropping!

Primal Lean is setting records in my office. It's safe and effective. And everyone who tries it wants to stay on it.

Just keep in mind... it takes eight to ten weeks before you feel the whole effect. Sure, you may feel something before that. I have patients who do.

But in the spirit of full disclosure I want you to understand that it takes a couple of months to really kick in.

There's a reason for that.

Primal Lean is not a drug. It's a safe and natural remedy that resets and rebalances key systems in your body. It takes time for these systems to return to normal.

But like I said, if you look back and consider all the years you've tried every new idea that came along... ten weeks feels like nothing!
