A nice article about legumes and cancer prevention is found at Pesonal Liberty Digest written by Bob Livingston.
By Personal Liberty News Desk • Feb 13th, 2009 • Category: Health, Personal Liberty News
Scientists have observed that dry beans have a potential to reduce the risk of mammary cancer.
Scientists at Colorado State University analyzed the impact of the consumption of six different types of beans - small red, great northern, navy, black, dark red and white kidney beans - on the cancer history of laboratory animals in a standard preclinical model for breast cancer.
They found that cancer incidence in the group fed beans fell to 67 percent compared to 95 percent incidence in the control group. The average number of malignant tumors also fell from 3.2 in the control group to 1.4 tumors in the group fed beans.
The study was published in the January-February 2009 issue of the journal Crop Science.
This is yet another example of the benefits of a healthy lifestyle which includes legume consumption. Legumes such as beans, peas, lentils and peanuts are known to be high in antioxidants, which play a crucial role in the body’s defense against cancer-causing free radicals.

Heavier drinking linked to increased risk of prostate cancer
NBR staff Monday March 16 2009 - 04:43pm
People who are heavier drinkers are much more likely to develop prostate cancer, according to a new international study.
A research team from Australia, Canada and the U.S. reviewed 35 studies examining the relationship between alcohol and prostate cancer risk to discover that people who consume more than 14 drinks per week - heavier drinkers – are roughly 20% more likely to develop prostate cancer than light drinkers.
Medicine Hat News reports study co-author and University of California professor Kaye Fillmore saying, "It's a real killer. It certainly is in Canada and the United States.
"It's a real problem in the scientific community because all of the candidates we typically look at to predict diseases of this nature, like smoking, diet and exercise and exposure to chemicals, they have not produced very good results," says Fillmore.
"They've been inconsistent for the most part and it leaves us with a real problem that there is nothing that men can actually do in terms of changing their habits to prevent this disease."
Five researchers looked at 35 studies on the subject, including cohort studies which measure people at a point in time, before later re-measuring to see if smoking, drinking or exercise is associated with the disease’s prevalence.
"Prostate cancer develops typically and kills typically in men who are middle-aged and older, and in the developing world as longevity increases they are getting higher incidences of prostate cancer," professor Fillmore said to Medicine Hat News.
Co-author Tim Stockwell, director of the University of Victoria (Canada) noted there is continuing controversy about just how much alcohol contributes to various cancers.
There are some schools of thought that argue that one or two drinks a day for men gives maximum protection against heart disease says Mr Stockwell, but such information is confusing to the general population.
"We've actually disputed that (moderate 'protective' drinking) but it's an example of confusing information because the same level that might give you protection against heart disease is also beginning to increase your risk of cancer, many cancers", he says.

Alternative Cancer Information
Below is an email I received about B17 and apricot seeds. This supplement and food are two natural sources for the cure of cancer. I ate apricot seeds during the time I was receiving another natural supplement to cure cancer, Vitamin C through infusion. I will continue to eat apricot seeds as my daily source of B17 and as my source to continue to treat myself in order to prevent the cancer from returning. I recommend both as the results have led me to begin to reduce my treatments. I am back in the gym since October 2008 and am back to training my clients.
Hi George
It's Perry with the alternative cancer information.
From thousands of people who visit our website each month from around the world, here's the #1 most frequently asked question we get:
How much vitamin B17 should I take?
When you have cancer, it is most important to consume as much vitamin B17 as possible. Vitamin B17 is the highest in raw apricot seeds. (Always start out slow and build your way up).
With the tablets, it is best to take them with water and at least a little food in your stomach. Vitamin B17 is water soluble and non-toxic.
Some people get nauseous if they take eat too many seeds or too many tablets at one time. The same as if one would drink too much salt water at one time.
If this is the case, take fewer amounts of the vitamin B17 tablets at one time but more often throughout the day. If you presently have cancer, you can have 10 to 20 (or more, if you are able to handle it) of the 500 mg tablets spread out throughout the day for the first month, but you should consult your natural doctor first.
If you find that you are getting nauseous, please cut the B17 tablets in half. Then consume 1/2 a tablet every waking hour or two, slowing building up to the ten, or more per day. It is a good idea to have a little food in the stomach just before taking the vitamin B17.
When you reach the maximum dosage of vitamin B17 that you can handle, you need to maintain that dosage for 90 days. After the initial 90 days, check with your natural doctor to see how you are doing.
Once your cancer is in remission or gone, a maintenance dose of 1-3 tablets of 500mg B17 per day is the proper protocol. Vitamin B17 needs to be included in your diet for the rest of your life, either in tablets or from your food, such as apricot seeds, apple seeds, etc. See the list in the book or video.
There are many different foods and herbs that have healing properties. It is common knowledge among scientists and holistic doctors that combinations of therapies are more effective than just one. Put together what you can with the key center being Vitamin B17 and apricot seeds.

Health advisory: omega-6 fatty acids help the heart
I received this artcile from the Personal Liberty Digest written by Bob Livingston. The article is about Omega 6 and it nutritional advantages and how it is found in natural foods. It is interesting that the American Heart Association is the advocate behind the study in the article. It is nice to see that they are finally catching up to what many people already know: naturals food are good for you. But better late than never.

A new study highlights the benefits of natural foods, while another finds link between processed meat and serious health risks.
Omega-6 fatty acids - which can be found in nuts, seeds, and vegetable oils - have a beneficial impact on the heart and should be a part of a healthy diet, according to a recent advisory from the American Heart Association.
According to the association, numerous studies have indicated that replacing saturated fats with polyunsaturated fatty acids, of which omega-6 is one type, lowers the risk of heart disease by 24 percent.
That is because "[w]hen saturated fat in the diet is replaced by omega-6, the blood cholesterol levels go down," explains Dr. William Harris, director of the Metabolism and Nutrition Research Center at the University of South Dakota.
This seems to underscore the value of eating natural foods - such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean meats - as opposed to processed products. Reuters news agency has reported on a new study by researchers at Harvard which links the consumption of processed meats such as hot dogs to a greater risk of leukemia in children.
The human body does not have the capacity to produce omega-6 and omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, but they play a crucial role in heart and brain function and in normal growth and development, concludes the AHA advisory.

Serious Health Risks Associated With Prostate Cancer Treatment
This article speaks to androgen blockade or androgen deprivation as treatment for Prostate Cancer. The article appeared in the Personal Liberty Digest written by Bob Livingston. It shows a need for testosterone to maintain health. I hope you find it interesting and informative. Enjoy!

Conventional medicine aggressively attacks prostate cancer with androgen blockade or androgen deprivation.
In humans (predominantly males), the major androgen is testosterone. Natural testosterone is an elixir of life. It rises in youth (predominately males) to about age 25, and then it begins to decline. Researchers claim that aging and deterioration of health occurs with declining testosterone.
Natural testosterone, not to be confused with synthetic steroid drugs, “has been scientifically shown to enhance sexuality, vitality, cardiovascular health and general health.” (From the book, Maximize Your Vitality and Potency for Men Over 40 by Jonathan Wright, M.D. and Lane Lenard, Ph.D.)
Conventional medicine, sometimes referred to as “orthodox medicine,” hatched this “androgen blockade” as a procedure in cancer treatment usually followed by a prostate operation leaving most men impotent, along with other serious complications. Well, you know the story. It has a monotonously fatal ring to it.
Now researchers say that cardiovascular mortality, in some cases, follows androgen deprivation (blockade) and that it is associated with a greater risk of coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction and diabetes.
Prostate doctors are loose with their prostate cancer patients, as well as all prostate patients with high prostate specific antigen (PSA) measurements.
Before any man agrees to androgen blockade or a prostate operation, they should read Jonathan Wright’s book, Maximize Your Vitality and Potency for Men Over 40.
Testosterone is nature’s answer for vitality, health and longevity.
I personally use 5 percent testosterone by prescription from a compounding pharmacy. Women need about one-tenth as much testosterone as men, but they do need it.

Exercisers Ache Less than Sedentary Folks Frequent Workouts Inhibit Pain, Study Says
Another great aricle from Daily Health News. It's about exercise and its affects on pain in seniors. After reading this, it should make every senior want to start exercising!

Exercisers Ache Less than Sedentary Folks Frequent Workouts Inhibit Pain, Study Says
People have all kinds of excuses not to exercise, and one I have heard often is that it causes too many aches and pains, especially among older people. Not so, says a study from Stanford University, which found that older people who regularly exercise actually experience considerably less musculoskeletal pain.
THE STUDY DETAILS
Over a 14-year period, researchers tracked 866 people, 492 of whom were members of a runners association... and 374 nonmembers who served as control subjects.
All participants were also divided into either "Ever Runners" (565) or "Never Runners" (301). When the study began, participants were on average in their early to mid-sixties. Each year they filled out extensive questionnaires about how much they exercised, what type of exercise they were doing and their history of musculoskeletal injuries. After adjusting for age, body mass index, gender, health behaviors, history of arthritis and other conditions, the study team discovered that the people who continued to be most active had 25% less pain than their sedentary peers.
The amount of exercise performed by active runners' association members and "Ever Runners"
was considerable and showed a wide range -- from just under six hours a week to a hefty 35 hours per week.
I spoke with Bonnie Bruce, DrPH, who was the lead author of the study, to explore what can be generalized about exercise and pain. She said the study looked at the effects of various types of vigorous aerobic activity (rapid walking, swimming, biking, hiking, racquet sports and others) that produced a sweat and a heart rate above 120 -- and theorizes several possible explanations for why the most active exercisers experienced less pain. It might reflect endorphin release, increased resistance to musculoskeletal injury (by building resilience through strength training) or a psychologically-based increase in pain threshold. There are likely many other plausible associations that will be identified over time. But whatever the reason, the outcome is clear -- exercise is a winning proposition.
Dr. Bruce points out that even people with less physical functioning in their lower body can still perform a number of activities that involve upper body work, including swimming and using some of the specialized equipment at gyms today.
Every movement counts, says Dr. Bruce, so do all you can to move throughout the day. Note: If you've avoided exercise for fear of pain, be sure to have your doctor double check that there are no injuries before you start a regimen.

Exercisers Ache Less than Sedentary Folks Frequent Workouts Inhibit Pain, Study Says
People have all kinds of excuses not to exercise, and one I have heard often is that it causes too many aches and pains, especially among older people. Not so, says a study from Stanford University, which found that older people who regularly exercise actually experience considerably less musculoskeletal pain.
THE STUDY DETAILS
Over a 14-year period, researchers tracked 866 people, 492 of whom were members of a runners association... and 374 nonmembers who served as control subjects.
All participants were also divided into either "Ever Runners" (565) or "Never Runners" (301). When the study began, participants were on average in their early to mid-sixties. Each year they filled out extensive questionnaires about how much they exercised, what type of exercise they were doing and their history of musculoskeletal injuries. After adjusting for age, body mass index, gender, health behaviors, history of arthritis and other conditions, the study team discovered that the people who continued to be most active had 25% less pain than their sedentary peers.
The amount of exercise performed by active runners' association members and "Ever Runners"
was considerable and showed a wide range -- from just under six hours a week to a hefty 35 hours per week.
I spoke with Bonnie Bruce, DrPH, who was the lead author of the study, to explore what can be generalized about exercise and pain. She said the study looked at the effects of various types of vigorous aerobic activity (rapid walking, swimming, biking, hiking, racquet sports and others) that produced a sweat and a heart rate above 120 -- and theorizes several possible explanations for why the most active exercisers experienced less pain. It might reflect endorphin release, increased resistance to musculoskeletal injury (by building resilience through strength training) or a psychologically-based increase in pain threshold. There are likely many other plausible associations that will be identified over time. But whatever the reason, the outcome is clear -- exercise is a winning proposition.
Dr. Bruce points out that even people with less physical functioning in their lower body can still perform a number of activities that involve upper body work, including swimming and using some of the specialized equipment at gyms today.
Every movement counts, says Dr. Bruce, so do all you can to move throughout the day. Note: If you've avoided exercise for fear of pain, be sure to have your doctor double check that there are no injuries before you start a regimen.
