Aspirin, PBS Discussion

PBS has a great discussion on aspirin as it has proven itself against cancer.  Aspirin may not be for everyone but for those who can tolerate it, it is a wonder drug of the highest order according to short as well as long term studies. 

The Mighty Powerful, Aspirin

Breaking news.  Hot off the wire and hot off the Lancet news, Aspirin proves itself once again in clinical trials against cancer and the recurrence of cancer.  There is additional information on prior studies that were done, please do visit the Lancet for additional information on this extremely important information and the findings that are nothing short of astonishing in non funded trials. 

Shout out of thanks to the BBC for this information too!

God bless you all.

Muscadine Grapes & You = Good Sipping & Good Health

Oh, God's gift to man - the grape!

Doing some research today, I came across some fascinating info regarding muscadine grapes. 

Thanks to GetHealthyAgain, this info appears here as an excerpt and to your good health:

Muscadine Grape Seed contains higher levels of antioxidants than blackberries, black raspberries, blueberries, cranberries, red raspberries, and strawberries. This finding was est-ablished in the early 1990s by Mississippi State University, as well as by the National Institutes of Health. Because it is so much higher in antioxidants, Muscadine Grape Seed protects and restores Immune Function resulting in a wide variety of protection throughout the body.

I am not bringing this to your attention to make any endorsement of any products at this website although, they may very well be fine products.  I haven't had time to look over this site entirely yet.

I just wanted to share with you what appears to be a highly informative and comprehensive website for health and what looks to be leading edge research info. 

Fruit Juice Consumption and Cancer Link

Cancer causing arsenic in fruit juices, study done by Dr. Oz and presented here on Dr. Mercola's website.  It's kind of shocking but, we need to know the truth about these products. If you have children who drink these juices or you drink them yourself, please read and become informed.

A Comprehensive Discussion of the Benefits of Rutin Supplements

RUTIN: 

A very important supplement to consider comes to you from Herbal Extracts+ Plus, excerpt below:

Beneficial Uses:
Rutin is a bioflavonoid, and it provides essential support molecules for vitamin C absorption (and should, in fact, be taken at the same time to gain maximum benefit). Rutin supplementation prevents the breakdown of vitamin C in the body before it is metabolized and intensifies its beneficial immune-enhancing effects in the body.


With regard to eye health, the bioflavonoid, Rutin, is said to improve capillary integrity and believed to help lower ocular pressure when used in conjunction with conventional drugs. (Interestingly, Bilberry extract, often used as a nutrient-rich supplement for eye health, is, in fact, particularly high in Rutin and can be beneficial in cases of diabetic retinopathy.)


Rutin may be very useful in combating cataracts, macular degeneration (the most common cause of blindness), and also for helping to prevent and/or fight free radical damage to the retina. The antioxidant activity that fights free radical damage appears to play a role in the prevention of cataracts and other forms of visual impairment.


Because Rutin improves capillary integrity (it works synergistically with vitamin C in this regard) by protecting and preserving the structure (permeability) and strength of those capillaries, this action is said to be of great help for capillary fragility (easy bruising and bleeding) and venous insufficiency (varicose veins and spider veins).


Because Rutin helps to strengthen capillaries, it may be helpful in reducing the symptoms of hemophilia. The bioflavonoid, Rutin, is thought to lessen symptoms associated with prolonged bleeding and help in cases of bleeding gums and hemorrhage.


Rutin is believed to stabilize the collagen matrix by preventing free radical damage, thereby helping to maintain the health of the body's collagen (the intercellular cement). Collagen is a major structural protein, forming molecular cables that strengthen the tendons and vast, resilient sheets that support the skin and internal organs, and Rutin supplements help to support this critical function of the body.


Rutin, like all bioflavonoids, is said to be a good source of antioxidants that act as free radical scavengers, searching for and engulfing the unstable molecules that are produced during the body's use of oxygen, which may cause damage to tissues and cells. In humans, it attaches to the iron ion Fe2+, preventing it from binding to hydrogen peroxide, which would otherwise create a highly reactive free radical that may damage cells. This activity may have a beneficial impact in building immunity against invasive infection and malignant disease, and some current studies have asserted that ingesting supplemental flavonoid antioxidants may play a role in inhibiting some malignant diseases and combating harmful infectious attack.


Current research claims that Rutin bioflavonoid supplement may promote healthy cholesterol levels in the blood, thereby promoting healthy blood circulation and possibly reducing hypertension. It is also thought to reduce the cytotoxicity of oxidized LDL cholesterol and lower the risk of heart disease. Furthermore, Rutin is said to inhibit platelet aggregation, which may also help to improve circulation.


Rutin (once again, like all bioflavonoids) is used extensively in the treatment of athletic injuries, because bioflavonoids are thought to relieve the pain of bumps and bruises. They are also reported to reduce pain located in the legs or across the back and may ease the pain of carpal tunnel syndrome.

Contraindications:
Extremely high doses (many times the recommended dosage) of Rutin Nutritional Supplement may cause diarrhea. Rutin is most beneficial when taken at the same time with vitamin C to improve vitamin C's efficacy and help to enhance vitamin C absorption.

Visitors, you have not heard it all before.  I am posting this info, direct from Dr. Mercola's newsletter.  There is much more to the article but, the issue of sexual activity for men is so important, I had to post this excerpt.  I have read this before and so, guys, if you don't have a gal, step up your game and go out and find one!  It's an endorsement to join health clubs, go to night clubs, spruce yourself up but whatever you do, get yourself a partner, enjoy and be healthier and happier.   

Exercising

Exercise is another important factor for prostate health. You need to exercise, especially as you get older, and this includes not only high-intensity exercises like Peak Fitness but also using physical intimacy to exercise your prostate directly.
Dr. Moerck advises:

One of the reasons for why regular sex promotes male health is that not only does it exercise the prostate, but when a man does not have regular sexual activity, the sperm and other fluids must be reabsorbed into his body. Eventually, that can cause certain immunological issues.

Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in U.S. men, but it is a disease that can be managed and oftentimes prevented … if you make the appropriate lifestyle modifications. Ideally, you'll want to pay close attention to your prostate health early on -- avoid waiting until you're in your 60's, because even though you may be able to reverse damage that's been done, ideally you'll want to prevent these problems from occurring in the first place.
