Most recently, an important in vivo study was published in an international medical journal, demonstrating the effectiveness and safety of this formula against aggressive prostate cancer in a human xenograft model (explained below). This is now the third published study from a major university to show significant results of my multi-nutrient prostate formula against the invasive behavior of aggressive prostate cancer cells, tumor growth and metastasis. The formula was previously studied at research laboratories at Columbia University New York, NY and at the Cancer Research Laboratory, Methodist Research Institute, Indiana University Health, Indianapolis, IN, using in vitro methods (cell culture studies) and gene expression analysis. These prior studies also showed significant results in this formula’s ability to inhibit prostate cancer growth and proliferation through multiple mechanisms of action.

Suppresses Aggressive Tumor Growth without Side Effects
This latest in vivo study (animal model) was conducted at the Indiana University Health Methodist Research Institute, and appears in the January 2012 issue of The International Journal of Oncology. Results show that my integrative prostate formula significantly suppressed tumor growth in aggressive, hormone refractory (androgen independent) humanprostate cancer cells. Hormone refractory prostate cancer does not respond to hormone-based therapies and can be a much more aggressive type of prostate cancer. It is notoriously difficult to treat and often progresses rapidly to metastasis, sending researchers on a constant quest for leading edge advancements that can help fight this disease.This study also analyzed the formula for potential toxicity, demonstrating it to be safe with no signs of toxicity at the highest dosages. This study is a milestone in the research of this formula, demonstrating its safety and effectiveness in treating human prostate cancer cells within an animal model. These positive results offer a significant contribution to the field of prostate cancer research, and add to the growing body of published data substantiating my integrative prostate formula as a safe and effective supplement for prostate health.

Results of the study show that the oral administration of this formula produced a statistically significant 27 percent suppression of tumor growth, compared to controls. The study was performed using a xenograft tumor model of human prostate cancer in mice. A xenograft model is made by grafting or transplanting tissue or organs from an individual of one species onto an organism of another species, genus, or family. In this case, highly aggressive human prostate cancer cells (PC-3) were grafted onto mice.

Inhibits Genes Involved in Tumor Growth and Metastasis

In addition to a significant reduction in tumor volume, results of this study showed that the formula also inhibited the expression of several genes involved in cancer proliferation and metastasis. Three prostate cancer-related genes (IGF2, NRNF2 and PLAU/uPA) that were suppressed by this formula not only control aggressive prostate tumor growth, but also relate to the metastatic potential. The formula also significantly increased the expression of a gene that fights against prostate cancer, CDKN1A, which works by specifically inhibitingother cancer-promoting cellular mechanisms.

By suppressing specific genes related to aggressive prostate cancer growth and proliferation, and increasing the expression of cancer-fighting genes, this integrative formula demonstrated multiple anti-cancer mechanisms and genetic targets.This in vivo study confirms previously published in vitro data which also shows the ability of this formula to decrease the expression of PLAU/uPA genes in aggressive, hormone-independent prostate cancer cells.

Fights Prostate Cancer from Multiple Angles
Comprised of 33 researched botanicals, extracts and nutrients, such as curcumin, saw palmetto, pomegranate, medicinal mushrooms, and other targeted ingredients, this formula is designed to offer support from multiple angles. It can help protect prostate cells, inhibit prostate cancer growth, increase antioxidant activity, support immunity, balance hormones, and promote overall health. This latest invivo study demonstrates exactly how this strategic formula works to not only inhibit the primary tumor growth, but also the metastatic process, by influencing distinct genetic signaling pathways related to cancer growth and proliferation. Furthermore, the anti-metastatic potential of this formula offers additional critical benefit in the fight against aggressive prostate cancer.

Lead researcher of this study, Dr. Daniel Sliva states: “Dietary supplements are used as alternative or adjuvant therapies. However, rigorous scientific verification of their biological activity in vitro and in vivo is necessary for the acceptance of dietary supplements in conventional cancer treatment and prevention. Multiple studies on this prostate formula show this dietary supplement is a natural compound for the possible therapy of human hormone refractory (independent) prostate cancer.”

Further studies on this integrative formula within prostate cancer models continue to show encouraging results. As ongoing research is published substantiating this multi-nutrient prostate formula, the results are being noted by oncologists, medical researchers and prostate patients worldwide: That this integrative prostate formula offers a safe and effective natural adjuvant to any comprehensive prostate treatment program.

Another problem that we have to consider and is not very clear for all people is that not to take breakfast our body is going to accumulate that need to eat and that although you don’t see and it does not feel is as well. With this the end of day when you want to control our appetite and eat little exhausted by hunger ended.

Not to eat your breakfast create an accumulation of metabolism long-term and as we have explained in other articles our metabolism control a variety of functions in our body including weight. It is therefore to maintain metabolism right never will jump your meals and respect the timetable as the portion that must eat every hour.

Orthorexia is a disease associated with an obsession with eating healthy together with bulimia and anorexia can lead to death. This situation occurs in those people concerned about their physical image they adopt a thought fixed and recurring by eating “healthy food”, i.e. those of organic kind, without colourings, preservatives, etc.

According to psychologist Jaime Sotomayor Andrade, this pathology may negatively interfere with the lives of those people who suffer from.

Generally patients prefer not eat (even for long periods of time), to eat those who (in his view) are “unclean”, i.e., those with high contents of additives, fat, etc., affecting their interpersonal relationships, avoiding going to restaurants and even a House of family and friends by simple fear of what they can eat.

These patients, imposing strong restrictions on food, which impacts directly on his health, leaving consequences of medico-nutritional type as: deficiency of vitamins, proteins, decrease in weight and anaemia, among others, and those of psychological type where people who suffer from this condition begin to isolate themselves from social groups, have a tendency to perfection and present personality changes becoming embittered and irritable.

• Spend many hours thinking about healthy diet.
• Show a clear obsession by what you eat.
• More concerned about the quality of food than the pleasure of consuming them.
• The quality of the food exceeds the pleasure which feels to eat them.
• Decline in their quality of life as increases the pseudocalidad of your food.
• Feelings of guilt when it does not comply with their dietary beliefs.
• Excessive for what you will eat the next day or planning for all the week
• Social isolation caused by its type of food.

This disease has similarities with anorexia or bulimia nervosa, however, the anorectics and bulimic are concerned about the amount of food they consume, while the orthorexics are obsessed with the quality of the same.
Although there are no data about this disease, every day become more consultation to professionals in nutrition, medicine, psychiatry and psychology in this regard or causes that have to do with eating disorders. Some indications given by the health professionals are: moderate exercise, balanced food and rely on the advice of professionals in each specialty according to the particularity of each person.

This is the performance of sexual acts during sleep without being aware of it. For example, masturbation, intercourse, and in some cases sexual violence.

This rare condition usually occur during REM sleep, where normally there is no muscle tone, there are changes in breathing, body temperature and erections. Note that this anomaly is quite different to erotic dreams.

Many psychiatrists still do not recognize this problem as psychiatric or neurological disease, however, sexologists have worried about this problem. This anomaly results in people who suffer from a profound discomfort due to the repetition of the crisis, the inability to remember and shame associated with this type of acts without the awareness of the partner, which can attract other problems later as depression and anxiety.

So many people go searching for their true love in nightclubs, singles clubs, through online dating sites and among friends of friends. The truth is, finding true love starts right in your own home – or, more accurately, in your own heart.

Before you can find true love in a relationship, you must find it within yourself.

Here are three simple ways to attain true love for you, yourself, and your life as a whole. You’ll be amazed at how quickly romantic love will follow.

• Be thankful for everything (including your mistakes). Learn to be thankful for the good things in your life. That will help you appreciate all the small things and give you a happier, positive outlook (which, by the way, is very attractive.) Be thankful for your mistakes, too. Everything in your life, both the triumphs and the stumbles, shape us as people. Mistakes are valuable learning experiences and, when viewed as such and appreciated, regrets and bitterness of yesterday will fade away. Peace and love will enter in to your life immediately!

• Forgive others so that you can forgive yourself. Forgiving is as much for you as it is for the person who did you wrong. For starters, when you can forgive others, you can forgive yourself. Some of us are harder on ourselves than anyone else would ever be. We need to be as forgiving of our own faults and misdeeds as we are other people’s. Holding onto anger and resentment, whether it’s directed at someone else or ourselves, robs us of opportunities for joy. Truly forgive whoever’s hurt you – you don’t have to like them! – and fully experience happiness.

• Find enjoyment and satisfaction in every day. Strive to find the happiness in your average, workaday life. For most of us, a typical Friday will be a much happier day than a typical Monday, but live each average Monday to its fullest as you would live each fun Friday to the fullest! If you strive to live in love each day, then you will have no regrets. There are many more average days than holidays and vacations – don’t waste them! Find satisfaction in your work, enjoy the process of doing a good job and learning new skills, and every day will be an abundance of joy.

In my book, The Good News: How Revealing Delusions In Christianity Will Bring Peace To All (www.thegoodnewsbook.com), I lay out the numerous biblical instructions to love, forgive and be grateful. If we each apply these simple teachings to our own lives, no matter what our religion, we’ll create a happier world.

To both the people with a special someone and those without – be thankful. Love and happiness come from within, not from another person. We all have something to celebrate, not only at Valentine’s Day but all year long.

Here are few healthy and natural alternatives. Some are product recommendations, and some are do-it-yourself projects.

Love Your Lips

In a small container, mix a dollop of honey, agave nectar, or real maple syrup. Add a spoonful of sugar and mix well. Using your finger, spread the mixture over your lips and gently massage dry and dead skin away. Not only will this leave your lips feeling insanely soft, it also tastes good! Lock in the moisture with your favorite all-natural lip balm. (I like Badger’s Cocoa Butter Lip Balm in Sweet Orange. With organic ingredients like fair trade cocoa butter, extra virgin olive oil, and aloe, your lips will be kissably soft.)

Care For Your Face

Many store bought exfoliates are harsh and will irritate your skin. You can make your own, gentle facial scrub with ingredients that you already have in your kitchen! If your skin is sensitive (like mine), the sugar you use on your lips may be a little too rough. Many people use oats or almonds as well, and if you have dry, tough skin, that may work great for you. But if you are like me, try this gentle alternative: Poor some coffee grounds into a small container and moisten with a little bit of pure olive oil. Spring for the good stuff. Real Italian olive oil is more likely to be just that, and not watered down with other oils or harmful chemicals like its grocery store alternative. Mix well and apply to your clean face. Gently massage in circular motions for a minute or so, and rinse. The coffee grounds will scrub away flakey skin and leave you feeling invigorated, while the olive oil works to moisturize your skin, leaving your face feeling as soft as a baby’s bottom.

Cleanse Your Body

My personal favorite product on the market is Doctor Bronner’s Magic Pure Castile Liquid Soap in Peppermint. I have used this since I was a little girl. It smells delicious, leaves your skin feeling fresh and tingly, and is made from fair trade, natural ingredients. It is so natural that you can use it not only on your body, but on your clothes and even your dishes!  In fact, the only ingredients are water, saponified organic coconut, organic palm and organic olive oils (w/retained glycerin), organic hemp oil, organic jojoba oil, fair trade peppermint essential oils, citric acid, and vitamin E! You can even make your own castile soap fairly easily. Buy a few bars of pure, unscented castile soap, and shave them into flakes.  Try a cheese grater if you have one! Add about two cups of flakes to about 6 cups of boiling water and melt down. When it begins to cool, add any moisturizing elements like aloe, or add a few drops of your favorite essential oils for fragrance. Pour the mixture into any bottle you have laying around (old olive oil bottles or wine bottles work wonderfully!), and voila!

Care For Your Hair

The “no-poo” method has been on the rise in the world of natural hair care. If you are not familiar with no-poo, it involves replacing shampoo with a 50/50 mixture of baking soda and water that you scrub your scalp with and massage through your hair to clean and smooth, followed by conditioning with a 50/50 mixture of water and apple cider vinegar. I know, this sounds stinky, but the scent of the vinegar vanishes once you rinse your hair, and if you are concerned about a lingering odor, mix a few drops of your favorite essential oil with some water, shake well, and spritz on your hair. Personally, I am not a fan of this method. I have fine, oil prone hair, and I prefer to lather, rinse and repeat. If you are like me, there are plenty of natural products on the market. I am partial to Nature’s Gate brand Herbal Shampoo. This stuff smells phenomenal, and the ingredients are derived from sources like coconut, yarrow, sage, jojoba, and thyme.

Clean Cosmetics

Cosmetics are the big bad of the beauty world. Most drug store brands are tested on animals, and even prestige brands contain heavy metals that are hazardous to your health! If you take good care of your skin, you will find yourself needing less and less product. Instead of treating acne spots with harsh chemicals, try a dab of your favorite all natural toothpaste. This will dry those bad boys right out and they will disappear in no time. If you are still feeling a little blotchy and you want to cover some spots or even out your skin tone, think twice before reaching for that foundation. Even popular mineral foundations include things like titanium dioxide, with the International Agency for Research on Cancer claims may be a carcinogen to humans. It is really hard to find cosmetics that contain safe, natural ingredients. Try Ecco Bella brand. Their concealer only contains the following ingredients: castor oil, isopropyl palmitate derived from palm oil, candelilla wax, beeswax, organic calendula oil, organic chamomile oil, organic jojoba oil, and vitamin e. It does contain the dreaded titanium dioxide, but as it is not in the form of a powder, it should have no negative effects on your person. For a pop of color on the lips, check out offerings from Badger or Hemp Organics. A lot of folks are also fans of the Burt’s Bees tinted balms, but keep in mind that they are now owned by Clorox, who tests on animals.

Easy Peasy Fragrance

Did you realize that the propylene glycol in the fragrance that has been added to your deodorant and shampoos is industrial antifreeze? Or how about the fact that the sodium lauryl sulfate in your fresh smelling detergents and soaps is also an ingredient in garage floor cleanser? There might be acetone in your fancy perfume or cologne, not to mention benzyl acetate, which is only one of the carcinogens found in an incredible number of fragrances. Do you still want to douse yourself in that stuff before leaving the house? No, probably not. But we all want to smell nice, don’t we? Instead of using nasty anti perspirants full of aluminum and anti-freeze, try one of the rock crystal deodorants from your local health food store. These are free from aluminum, parabens, and alcohol, and come in a variety of 100% natural scents. Instead of shelling out $100 at the perfume counter, consider essential oils. You can easily find them online, and most health food stores and metaphysical shops sell them in a variety of scents. Mix and match a few drops in a bottle of water, shake well, and you have yourself a sweet smelling perfume that you can feel good about. If you don’t want to make your own, Auric Blends has a vast array of amazing scents. Egyptian Goddess is their best seller, and for a good reason. This stuff is out of this world! I am also partial to their Patchouli-Amber blend. No matter what you are looking for, they are sure to have a scent to suit you in their line of roll on, solid, and all natural perfumes.

Childhood Flu Vaccine Inhibits Development of T-Cells
A newly published study in the Journal of Virology adds additional weight to the case against routine influenza vaccinations. Researchers have found that vaccinating children annually against the flu virus interferes with the development of virus-specific killer T cells. This means that the annual flu vaccine may protect children against the actual viruses in the vaccine, but at the same time makes them more vulnerable to any other virus that they are exposed to.

Support Your Immune System Naturally
As an integrative medical doctor, I believe that you can support your immune system naturally with a combination of healthy nutritional choices and targeted supplements for immune support. It is generally not necessary to introduce viruses, chemicals and heavy metals into our bodies in the form of a vaccination.

Common sense and scientific research tell us that one of the most important strategies for staying well is to wash your hands frequently. Washing with soap and running water for 20 seconds is the most effective way to cleanse your hands of all kinds of germs.

It is also important to get enough sleep (greater than 7 hours per night), get moderate exercise and not overwork (less then 10 hours per day).

Nutritional approaches to a healthy immune system include eating plenty of green vegetables, reducing or eliminating consumption of refined sugars and processed foods, and supplementing with immune boosting vitamins, minerals, herbs and botanicals.

Immune Support Supplements
You can support your body’s innate health mechanisms with certain scientifically-researched formulas and compounds that combine cutting edge science with traditional wisdom. These will offer comprehensive health support whenever you need it most: during the winter season, when under stress, while travelling and for daily protection. Here are some of my top recommendations for supporting immune health during the winter and year round.

One of my top recommendations is a blend of six medicinal mushrooms with additional immune boosting beta glucans. The mushrooms in this formula have been used for thousands of years to promote optimal functioning of the immune system and support overall health. However, this formula is unique because the mushrooms are cultivated in the US on a blend of powerful immune supporting herbs which enhance the mushrooms’ natural immune boosting properties. When combined in a comprehensive formula with additional beta-glucans, medicinal mushrooms are an excellent way to boost your body’s natural defenses and combat infection, especially on a long term basis. Mushrooms are also of great benefit during times of acute stress or infection, as they can be taken in frequent doses with no known side effects.

Another recommendation is a Tibetan herbal formula made with a blend of 19 rare and powerful botanicals that contain a multitude of health-promoting tannins, polyphenols, flavonoids and essential oils. This traditional formula has “cooling” properties that support balanced immune function, increased circulation and healthy antioxidant activity.

Last, but most importantly is Modified Citrus Pectin, the first natural Galectin-3 blocker. Scientists are now finding that blocking harmful excess Galectin-3 molecules in the body is critical in promoting cellular health and long term wellness. In addition to binding and blocking Galectin-3 throughout the body, research demonstrates that regular use of Modified Citrus Pectin offers powerful immune support and also safely detoxifies harmful heavy metals and environmental toxins without side effects.

Integrative medicine treats the whole person, rather than the symptom or illness. As a result, these and other natural health solutions offer powerful immune support while simultaneously promoting overall health and protecting against chronic illness over the long term.  And that’s an area where many conventional solutions fall short.

Water is important in our lives because:

• Transports nutrients and oxygen into cells
• Moisturizes the air in lungs
• Helps with metabolism
• Protects our vital organ and to to absorb nutrients better
• Regulates body temperature
• Detoxifies
• Protects and moisturizes our joints

It is necessary to replenish water removed to keep the water balance.

1. Drink before thirst. The sensation of thirst indicates some degree of dehydration. Only a 1% loss reduces the ability of performance. 6% can put lives at risk.
2. To consume half a liter of water or any drink specifically designed to train an hour before
3. Drink the same amount of training after 20 minutes but not water but a drink with carbohydrates and electrolytes.
4. We should consume a minimum of 1ml of water per calorie consumed. Intake 2000 calories required consumption of 2 liters. Admitting that the water supply of food to 50% of the total volume would require an absolute minimum of 1 liter a day to consume.
