New Jersey doctors are tapping an unlikely source to help stroke patients.
The venom of the Malaysian pit viper is the potent ingredient found in an experimental drug called Viprinex now being tested at three New Jersey hospitals. When given intravenously, Viprinex has been shown to help dissolve clots that plug arteries and cut off oxygen and blood flow to the brain.
According to doctors, the major advantage of Viprinex, which also thins the blood, is that it may be effective as long as six hours after a stroke patient's symptoms begin. That would double the window of the only government-approved clot-busting therapy, called tPA, which must be given within three hours.
The fact that fewer than 5 percent of stroke victims get to a hospital in time has greatly limited the use of tPA, or tissue plasminogen activator. In addition, some doctors are hesitant to use the drug, which has been available since 1996, because it causes bleeding in the brain in about six percent of patients.
"What many investigators have been looking for is something that can dissolve clots with less risk of bleeding," said Martin Gizzi, the neurologist who heads the New Jersey Neuroscience Institute at JFK Medical Center in Edison, which is participating in a clinical trial of Viprinex.
Under the trial's guidelines, some patients will receive Viprinex, while others get a placebo. Doctors won't know who got the real thing until the research -- which is being conducted at 200 sites worldwide -- has been completed in 2009. Patients are followed for 90 days after receiving the drug so their level of recovery can be assessed.
The drug is derived from the venom of the Malaysian pit viper, an aggressive snake that inhabits forest edges across much of Southeast Asia and grows to about three feet in length. The venom is frozen before being purified and converted to a drug product, explained Warren Wasiewski, the scientist overseeing the trial for Neurobiological Technologies Inc., the Edgewater drug company that makes the drug.
"We haven't had too many people get upset about the fact this is a snake venom," he said when asked how patients or their families have reacted.
There have been three prior studies conducted on the same drug under a different name. Data from one of those trials, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in May of 2000, found that patients who received the drug -- called ancrod -- intravenously over a 72-hour period had regained more function after three months than patients who got a placebo. While ancrod caused a slightly higher rate of bleeding in the brain -- 5.2 percent compared with 2 percent for the placebo group -- it did not cause an increase in deaths.
In the Viprinex trial, a lower dose of the drug is being given and the infusion time is shorter -- three hours compared with 72 hours, Wasiewski said.
Doctors involved in the Viprinex study said they are screening patients very carefully, excluding anyone with a prior history of hemorrhage.
"We're very strict on prior history," said Gerald Ferencz, a neurologist who directs the stroke center at Community Medical Center in Toms River. Valley Hospital in Ridgewood is also participating.
This is not the first time researchers have turned to normally shunned creatures in hopes of helping stroke patients. Earlier research -- which did not lead to an effective drug -- involved the saliva of vampire bats, on the theory that it might also help break up blood clots.
Larry Goldstein, who is director of the stroke center at Duke University and is familiar with the bat study, said while Viprinex holds promise, the watchword is still caution.
"We've been down this road in the past and the proof requires a well-conducted and completed clinical trial," said Goldstein, who is also a spokesman for the American Stroke Association. "Anything besides that and it's pure conjecture and the lay public's hopes are raised over and over again only to be dashed."

The truth is—your liver is under attack 24 hours a day! That’s why you’ve got to give it a fighting chance—to keep you as healthy as possible.
With Liver & Kidney Cleanse™, you can help flush out toxic residues from drugs and other harmful pollutants before they cause your liver any harm! With a clean, unclogged liver—you’ll have years of healthy living to enjoy!
“If your body was a corporation, your liver—not your brain or heart— would be president"
“...The cleansing/ detoxification process is the missing link in Western nutrition and one of the keys to real healing.
“I have seen hundreds of patients over the years transform regular or persistent illness into health and greatly improved vitality.”
— Elson M. Haas, M.D. founder and medical director of the Preventive Medical Center of Marin and author of several popular health books

URGENT NEWS: Tylenol® Terror! New research proves even normal use can be dangerous!
What your rash… psoriasis… or itchy skin is desperately trying to tell you! Hidden health problems now solved!
Miserable symptoms are your liver’s cry for help!
You remember your liver, don’t you? It’s that 4-pound organ that performs more than 500 bodily functions and chemical reactions every single day to keep you alive.
Located on the right side of your abdomen, just beneath your lower ribs, your liver...
Manufactures a full quart of bile daily to break down fat. Bile is the yellowish-green fluid that’s produced in your liver and stored in your gallbladder. Bile also plays an essential role in emulsifying—or breaking down—the fats you eat. Think of bile as a detergent that gets rid of grease from your dishes!
Filters harmful toxins and substances (including alcohol) out of nearly 100 gallons of blood every day and allows nutrients to get to your cells!
Produces more than 13,000 crucial chemicals and hormones including cholesterol, testosterone, and estrogen. Plus your liver manages over 50,000 enzymes to maintain a healthy body!
Regulates blood sugar levels and prevents dangerous spikes and lows!
Stores essential vitamins and minerals—including vitamins A, D, K and B12—to help keep your bones from crumbling!
Detoxifies all internal and external environmental pollutants. If your liver didn’t continually remove metabolic trash and toxins from your blood, you would be dead in a matter of hours!
Your liver is so important, medical experts agree: If your body was a corporation, your liver would be the president!
But by the time you’re 40, the tubes and ducts leading to and from your liver start to get clogged with environmental toxins, undigested fats, gallstones, scar tissue, and metabolic waste.
That’s why by age 50, you’re probably only getting one-fourth of the bile your body needs to break down the fats from the foods you eat!
When your liver can’t make enough bile, it shifts to “Plan B”. Instead of dissolving toxins, your liver encapsulates them—puts them into a storage form that your organs harbor for many years.
Some of these toxins become hard mineralized stones. They’re stored in your gallbladder and commonly known as “gallbladder stones.”
But over time, these accumulated stones can block normal bile flow from your gallbladder to your liver.
This is why I can say without a doubt...
...If you have gallstones, you’ve got a red flag warning of serious liver problems!
Your liver is under constant attack!
Every second of every day, your liver is under siege from...
“You’ve got to be kidding me!”
“That was my initial reaction to what I saw from the Liver & Kidney Cleanse™ I tried a few weeks ago. I had no idea your product could produce such drastic results.
“If my liver could talk, I know it would thank me and your product. Count on me to tell all my friends and relatives about Liver & Kidney Cleanse™. I definitely believe a clean liver is a happy liver!”
—Mickey C., Washington, D.C.
“I’m glad I tried it!”
“Your Liver & Kidney Cleanse™ was quick and painless. I feel better knowing these stones are no longer in my body! After seeing what came out of my liver, I’m determined to eat healthier from now on. Thank you!”
— Wilson T., Newark, DE
These statements are anecdotal and may not represent typical results. Individual results will vary.
Prescription drugs—EVERY prescribed medication and over-the-counter drug you take must be filtered by your liver!
Alcohol use—Over 18 million Americans abuse alcohol making it the #1 cause of liver disease in America!
Environmental pollution—From cigarette smoke... automobile exhausts... smog... and thousands of dangerous toxins you breathe, touch and ingest!
Chemical food additives—Many are known to cause abnormal cell growth—that’s why your liver must be on high alert!
Water chlorination—Including fluoride, chlorine and heavy metals—all must be neutralized by your liver before they cause you harm!
Household chemicals—Aerosol sprays... cosmetics... ammonia... hair dyes... disinfectants—all are loaded with toxins your liver must quickly neutralize and eliminate!
Pesticides—For lawn care... bug repellents... critter control—can easily get absorbed into your body!
And over use of animal protein—If you’re a meat eater—you better believe your liver is working overtime!
And if that wasn’t bad enough...
According to a report printed in the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 10 to 20 million Americans suffer from serious kidney problems which can trigger high blood pressure, brain problems, blood sugar problems, abnormal cell growth, and other serious health problems!
At least 17 million Americans—mostly women —suffer from urinary incontinence!
Another 4 million Americans suffer from liver infections—and most don’t even know they’re infected!
Over 300,000 folks get hooked up to dialysis machines!
500,000 Americans have diseased gallbladders removed every year—severely limiting their ability to properly digest proteins!

And millions of Americans suffer from other serious liver problems. Millions more suffer from liver-related illnesses that attack the colon, kidneys, lungs and skin.
Just by living and breathing in our modern, polluted world, your liver gets abused every minute of every day. And the result of this neglect can be all sorts of health problems including...
Headaches
Chronic fatigue
High blood pressure
Irritable bowels
Joint pain
Elevated cholesterol levels
Chronic indigestion
Neuromuscular illnesses
Blood sugar problems
Poor eyesight
Allergies
Lung congestion
Kidney failure
Sexual dysfunction
And much more!
Did you ever think a problem with your liver might be causing these common health problems? You’re not alone—most doctors are clueless about this hidden source of health problems, too.
That’s why I want to make sure you’re not left in the dark any longer!
Here’s what you MUST KNOW if you suffer from...
High blood pressure: Poor liver function can trigger high blood pressure when it breaks down the adrenal hormone called aldosterone. Excessive aldosterone causes your body to retain sodium and lower potassium levels. This electrolyte imbalance can raise your blood pressure.
What’s more, your liver controls the level of blood fats. Too much blood fat can make your blood sticky and difficult to travel through your veins. This can also cause your blood pressure to shoot through the roof!
Autoimmune disorders such as inflammatory conditions... muscle and joint pain... and chronic fatigue: When an overworked liver gets bombarded with artificial chemicals from foods, environmental pollutants and toxins from drugs and medications, it’s easy for these chemicals to build up in the liver and escape from the protective filters in the liver into your blood stream.
These chemicals then become absorbed and incorporated into the cells of your muscles, organs, joints, and tissues. Now your immune system can no longer recognize these “chemicalized” cells as a natural part of your body and views them as foreign invaders that need to be destroyed.
So, your body produces antibodies to attack its own cells. To overcome and even help improve autoimmune disorders—you’ve got to take the load off your overworked immune system by cleansing your liver!
Unstable blood sugar levels: When your sugar levels are out of whack, you can experience fatigue, lightheadedness and an uncontrollable craving for sugar. No wonder most folks with low blood sugar levels tend to have weight problems as well as chronic yeast infections!
When blood sugar levels drop, a healthy liver will quickly release stored sugar called glycogen into the bloodstream. But when your liver is sluggish, blood sugar levels run amuck—and that can leave you prone to developing serious blood sugar problems!
Gallbladder problems and gallstones: When you eat fatty foods, your liver emulsifies—or breaks down—the fat with the help of bile, which is stored in the gallbladder. This process raises the cholesterol content of your bile. A sluggish liver will not manufacture enough bile salts to keep the cholesterol from hardening. The results?
The cholesterol crystallizes and turns into small “rocks.” These rocks are then dumped into your gallbladder for storage and are now known as gallstones—which can be painful and even lead to serious gallbladder problems!

Headaches: A sluggish liver allows toxins to leak into your brain and trigger headache pain. And unfortunately, painkillers can add further stress on your liver.
Cleaning out the filters of your liver can quickly help put an end to a variety of headaches including migraines, cluster headaches, tension, and even hormonal headaches!
Hot flashes, heavy sweating, and body odor: If you regularly feel overheated, it may not be hot flashes or the weather that’s causing your problem. Chances are your liver needs a spring cleaning to eliminate toxic buildup that can wreak havoc with your internal thermostat!
When your liver can’t cleanse your blood, all the toxins you ingest and absorb are passed unchecked into your bloodstream where they can poison your lungs... skin... kidneys... reproductive organs... bones... and every cell in your body!
But now there’s a simple way to safely help eliminate deadly toxins from your liver... unclog liver cells... boost liver function... and keep your liver young and strong for decades to come! How?

What’s more...
You will SEE and FEEL the results—GUARANTEED!
It’s a doctor-formulated nutrient called Liver & Kidney Cleanse™—and it’s available only from True Health™!
With Liver & Kidney Cleanse™, you get a unique scientifically formulated combination of 10 powerful nutrients to help unclog your liver and help eliminate dangerous toxins from alcohol... prescription drugs... household chemicals... processed foods and more!
With just 4 capsules a day, you get:
Milk Thistle—The ultimate liver lover! Your liver helps process some of the 850 million pounds of toxic chemicals released into the environment every year. An overload of these toxins can easily wear out your liver—and leave you prone to developing a host of health problems!
Researchers have discovered that silymarin—a powerful bioflavonoid antioxidant found in milk thistle—can help your liver replace dead or damaged cells—and effectively repair itself! Studies conducted by the Center for Cancer Causation and Prevention at the AMC Cancer Research Center in Denver, CO also suggest that milk thistle provides protection from carcinogens that affect the prostate, breast, and cervical cells!
Soy Lecithin (Phosphatidylcholine)—Helps prevent a “fatty” liver! This remarkable nutrient helps protect liver cells from hardening. What’s more, Soy Lecithin has been scientifically proven to remove fat accumulation and excess cholesterol that can clog up your liver and make you feel sluggish!
Artichoke Leaf—Your beneficial bile buddy! Artichoke leaf has been used for centuries to enhance healthy bile secretion. Why is this important? Well, think of bile as the liquid detergent you use to wash your dirty, greasy dishes. Without that detergent, you can’t break up the grease and dishes stay dirty. Without bile, your liver can’t properly break up cholesterol and other fatty molecules that can wreak havoc on your health!
Turmeric Root—The toxin terminator! This popular spice has been traditionally used to help remove dangerous toxins from the liver and stimulate the production of bile. According to the book, Herb Bible, turmeric can also help reduce liver inflammation!
Burdock—Purges poisons to purify blood! Noted health expert Varro E. Tyler, Ph.D. in The Honest Herbal recommends burdock as a blood purifier. Why? Because this remarkable herb has the uncanny ability to help neutralize most poisons that enter the liver. What’s more, it can soothe irritated kidneys and enhance urine flow!
N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC)—A Godsend for kidney stones! NAC helps eliminate painful kidney stones. NAC also helps protect your liver from harmful exposure to toxic chemicals!
“I take medicines for my chronic pain—and I was really worried about my liver…”
“As a person living with fibromyalgia and taking numerous pain medicines, I’m very concerned about the damage these drugs can cause on my liver. I’ve tried many different colon cleanses and body detoxification methods in the past, but never felt much different afterwards.
“During my Liver & Kidney Cleanse™, I passed dozens of pea size and lima bean size green stones. I have never seen anything like it! It’s a great feeling to know that you can now easily remove harmful toxins from your body. My energy level is also much higher since the Fast-Acting cleanse. Liver & Kidney Cleanse™ has truly made a positive difference in my life.”
— Melissa R., Burbank, CA
“Not guilty!”
“I don’t feel nearly as guilty about my burgers and beer when I know I have Liver & Kidney Cleanse™ to help forgive my sins. Thank you Dr. Cutler for making a great nutritional supplement.”
— Mark H., Stowe, VT
“My 66-year old liver thanks you!”
“In my 66 years of living, I’ve never done a cleanse like this. I was amazed to see I had all these stone toxins bogging down my liver function. The next morning, I felt lighter and had more energy. I’m a believer that your Liver & Kidney Cleanse™ works!”
— Michelle A., Hyattsville, MD

These statements are anecdotal and may not represent typical results. Individual results will vary.
Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA)—Critical if you’re taking prescription drugs! ALA helps your liver quickly neutralize the damaging effects of over-the-counter and prescription medicines by elevating levels of the liver-supportive enzyme called glutathione. What’s more, ALA can help lower liver enzymes that can lead to serious liver problems!
Trimethylglycine (TMG)—Helps Improve liver function! In an Italian study, patients taking TMG experienced improved liver function, reduced fat in the liver and diminished abdominal pain. What’s more, several clinical trials show TMG can help repair liver damage caused by alcohol use!
Dandelion Root—A natural body balancer! This age-old herb helps filter toxins from your liver and kidneys without overstraining or tiring out these organs. Dandelion is a natural diuretic that can increase urine production by promoting the excretion of salts and water from the kidneys. Plus, it helps keep optimal water balance in your kidneys... encourages healthy electrolyte balance in the blood... and helps keep liver and pancreas enzymes in balance. Dandelion is also a rich source of potassium!
Olive Leaf—A natural infection fighter! Scientists have identified a powerful infection-fighting compound in olive leaf called “oleuropein.” When enzymes in the body metabolize oleuropein, you get a force field of protection from viruses, bacteria, and fungi. This is especially important for your liver and kidneys since they are constantly under assault from toxins!
If Liver & Kidney Cleanse™ only flushed out toxins from your liver—it would still be worth its weight in gold! But this remarkable combination of detoxifying nutrients does more—much more!
Why are kidney stones 10 times more common now than at the start of the 20th century?
While your liver is processing digested foods... neutralizing and eliminating toxins... and storing nutrients for future use—your kidneys are also hard at work too! They’re regulating all your body’s water to clean your blood and flush acid wastes out of the body.
In fact, your kidneys process about 200 quarts of blood and remove about 2 quarts of waste products and extra water every day. They also monitor acid/alkaline balance of your blood and help control blood pressure.
The kidneys must also remove waste salts, uric acid, and ammonia. That’s why your first pee in the morning is darker in color and has more odor.
In addition to this heavy workload, we’re eating more animal fats... protein... and sugars than ever! That’s why Americans are developing kidney stones 10 times more frequently than our grandparents!
The truth is, if you’re not taking care of your liver and kidneys right now to eliminate the toxins from prescription drugs... alcohol use... high protein and a fat diet... and environmental pollutants, you could be facing...
Diapers... Dialysis... or Disaster!
But the good news is Liver & Kidney Cleanse™ contains a potent blend of bacteria-fighting and healing agents including herbs, antioxidants, super-nutrients, and amino acids to help clean, improve, and maintain peak liver and kidney performance.
When you use Liver & Kidney Cleanse™ every day—you are helping to keep your liver and kidneys running at peak performance!
What your rash… psoriasis… or itchy skin is trying to tell you!
One of the main jobs of your liver is to detoxify hormones and chemicals in the body so your body can eliminate them. But if your liver is not working properly, your body has to resort to a “back-up” organ to get rid of the toxins. What’s that organ? It’s your skin!
When irritating poisons are excreted out of your skin, they can cause rashes… itchy skin… and even psoriasis! In other words...
…problem skin may be a hidden warning sign of liver problems on the horizon!
The best defense for kidney health is a 3-step offense:
#1. Drink plenty of water! 6 to 8 glasses a day will help your kidneys properly eliminate wastes and regulate your body’s fluid contents.
#2. Eat healthier! Simply reducing refined carbohydrates such as sugars and limiting the intake of sodas, coffee and alcohol can significantly boost your health... improve kidney function... and can even help prevent kidney stones!
#3. Take Liver & Kidney Cleanse™! Keep your liver working at its best—clean, clear and clog-free! Also helps keep your kidneys functioning at peak performance too. There’s just nothing better than Liver & Kidney Cleanse™!

How will you know if Liver & Kidney Cleanse™ is working for you?

That means there’s more energy available for you to do the things you love again!
#2: You’ll notice an improvement in your health problems! A well functioning liver removes dangerous cholesterol from your body… helps regulate your blood pressure… helps eliminate toxins that trigger joint and muscle pain… helps keep your brain cells strong and healthy… and much more!
#3: You’ll experience healthy, glowing skin! That’s because a worn out liver dumps toxins into your skin so they can be excreted with sweat. These toxins can cause rashes and premature aging. With a healthy liver, your skin can return to normal and rashes, eczema, itchy skin, and even wrinkles disappear!
Right now, you can sample Liver & Kidney Cleanse™ completely Risk Free. Click Here for details.
“Wow—I’ve got lots more energy now!”
“I passed a bunch of small stones—mostly the size of sesame seeds and a few the size of orange seeds. I was amazed to see these stones coming out. The next day after my cleanse I had lots more energy and felt very alert. I think you have a great product! Thank you.”
— Lyn S., Rockville, MD

New Jersey doctors are tapping an unlikely source to help stroke patients.
The venom of the Malaysian pit viper is the potent ingredient found in an experimental drug called Viprinex now being tested at three New Jersey hospitals. When given intravenously, Viprinex has been shown to help dissolve clots that plug arteries and cut off oxygen and blood flow to the brain.
According to doctors, the major advantage of Viprinex, which also thins the blood, is that it may be effective as long as six hours after a stroke patient's symptoms begin. That would double the window of the only government-approved clot-busting therapy, called tPA, which must be given within three hours.
The fact that fewer than 5 percent of stroke victims get to a hospital in time has greatly limited the use of tPA, or tissue plasminogen activator. In addition, some doctors are hesitant to use the drug, which has been available since 1996, because it causes bleeding in the brain in about six percent of patients.
"What many investigators have been looking for is something that can dissolve clots with less risk of bleeding," said Martin Gizzi, the neurologist who heads the New Jersey Neuroscience Institute at JFK Medical Center in Edison, which is participating in a clinical trial of Viprinex.
Under the trial's guidelines, some patients will receive Viprinex, while others get a placebo. Doctors won't know who got the real thing until the research -- which is being conducted at 200 sites worldwide -- has been completed in 2009. Patients are followed for 90 days after receiving the drug so their level of recovery can be assessed.
The drug is derived from the venom of the Malaysian pit viper, an aggressive snake that inhabits forest edges across much of Southeast Asia and grows to about three feet in length. The venom is frozen before being purified and converted to a drug product, explained Warren Wasiewski, the scientist overseeing the trial for Neurobiological Technologies Inc., the Edgewater drug company that makes the drug.
"We haven't had too many people get upset about the fact this is a snake venom," he said when asked how patients or their families have reacted.
There have been three prior studies conducted on the same drug under a different name. Data from one of those trials, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in May of 2000, found that patients who received the drug -- called ancrod -- intravenously over a 72-hour period had regained more function after three months than patients who got a placebo. While ancrod caused a slightly higher rate of bleeding in the brain -- 5.2 percent compared with 2 percent for the placebo group -- it did not cause an increase in deaths.
In the Viprinex trial, a lower dose of the drug is being given and the infusion time is shorter -- three hours compared with 72 hours, Wasiewski said.
Doctors involved in the Viprinex study said they are screening patients very carefully, excluding anyone with a prior history of hemorrhage.
"We're very strict on prior history," said Gerald Ferencz, a neurologist who directs the stroke center at Community Medical Center in Toms River. Valley Hospital in Ridgewood is also participating.
This is not the first time researchers have turned to normally shunned creatures in hopes of helping stroke patients. Earlier research -- which did not lead to an effective drug -- involved the saliva of vampire bats, on the theory that it might also help break up blood clots.
Larry Goldstein, who is director of the stroke center at Duke University and is familiar with the bat study, said while Viprinex holds promise, the watchword is still caution.
"We've been down this road in the past and the proof requires a well-conducted and completed clinical trial," said Goldstein, who is also a spokesman for the American Stroke Association. "Anything besides that and it's pure conjecture and the lay public's hopes are raised over and over again only to be dashed."

'Cancer Is An Infection Caused By Tuberculosis-Type Bacteria'
'Why does the medical establishment ignore a century of research pointing to tuberculosis-type "acid-fast" bacteria as the cause of cancer? TB-type bacteria can be seen in specially-stained tissue sections of cancer tumors and viewed under the highest magnification of the light microscope at a magnification of 1000 times, under oil immersion. So why isn't this simple microscopic procedure performed in cancer?'
Why does the medical establishment ignore a century of research pointing to tuberculosis-type "acid-fast" bacteria as the cause of cancer? TB-type bacteria can be seen in specially-stained tissue sections of cancer tumors and viewed under the highest magnification of the light microscope at a magnification of 1000 times, under oil immersion. So why isn't this simple microscopic procedure performed in cancer?
As long ago as 1890, Scottish pathologist William Russell discovered "a characteristic organism of cancer" in every cancer he examined; and other pathologists of that era confirmed his findings. Yet, a century ago, the powers-that-be in medical science ignored this research and declared emphatically that bacteria were not the cause of cancer. The reasoning behind this dictum was that cancer did not act like an infectious disease, nor was it communicable. We know now this reasoning was false. Many scientists believe viruses cause cancer; and sexually- transmitted cancer-causing viruses can be passed from person-to- person as well.
For more than a half-century, the cancer microbe has been reported as a pleomorphic, intermittently acid-fast bacterium closely related to the acid-fast mycobacteria and to Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the acid-fast microbe that causes tuberculosis (TB). The acid-fast stain is a time-honored laboratory stain specifically used to detect TB-type mycobacteria in tissue and in culture. Virginia Livingston M.D. (1906-1990) was the foremost proponent of the bacterial cause of cancer. She was the first to discover that the acid-fast stain was the key to the detection of the cancer germ, both in tissue (in vivo) and in laboratory culture (in vitro). Livingston, along with microbiologist Eleanor Alexander- Jackson, cell cytologist Irene Diller, and chemist and TB expert Florence Seibert, all reported that the cancer germ was pleomorphic (meaning it has various appearing growth forms) and was filterable, indicating that in certain stages of its life cycle the microbe was virus-like and submicroscopic. Bacteria can be seen with the light microscope; the much smaller viruses cannot. (For more information on the acid-fast stain, mycobacteria, and pleomorphism, simply Google those key words.)
What do the bacteria in cancer look like? Cancer microbes in vivo are primarily in the cell-wall-deficient (CWD) form. As a result of the loss of a cell wall, the bacteria appear as round, coccus-like, granular forms that are found both within the cell (intracellular) and outside the cell (extracellular). Various types of bacteria may all look similar when in the CWD form. In the body and in the laboratory CWD bacteria (also known as "mycoplasma") have the amazing capacity to enlarge in size. These so-called round "large bodies" can attain the size of red blood cells and even larger. When seen in cancerous tissue these large bodies of bacteria can resemble large spore forms of yeasts and fungi, perhaps explaining why some researchers claim Candida and other fungi are the cause of cancer.
Russell's nineteenth century "parasite of cancer" is now recognized by pathologists as "Russell bodies." Pathologists generally believe these large forms are "immunoglobulins" and they do not accept them as microbial in origin. It is my contention that Russell bodies represent large, variably-sized CWD forms of bacteria in vivo; and that is why both coccal forms of CWD bacteria, as well as Russell bodies, can both be identified in cancerous tissue. (For more details and microphotographs, see my paper "The Russell body: The forgotten clue to the bacterial cause of cancer," posted on the joimr.org and the rense.com websites; and view my video lecture "The cancer microbe and the Russell body," currently available on Youtube.com.)
Why aren't cancer bacteria recognized by pathologists and oncologists? As mentioned, bacteria were excluded a century ago, and medical science never looked back. The result was that any physician who persisted in cancer microbe research was never taken seriously and was often viewed as a medical pariah. There are less than a handful of living physicians in the world who actively promote cancer microbe research. Erik Enby is a 70 year-old Swedish physician, whose accomplishments are cited in the Wikipedia. Nevertheless, his medical license has recently been revoked by the government for his belief in cancer-causing bacteria. I am currently regarded by the Wikipedia as a "conspiracy theorist in the field of cancer microbiology."
Although largely ignored, the microbiology of cancer has a rich history. Details of this research can be found in my books, The Cancer Microbe, and Four Women Against Cancer: Bacteria, Cancer, and the Origin of Life.
At present, doctors generally regard cancer-associated bacteria as laboratory "contaminants" of no consequence, or as "secondary invaders" of diseased tissue. However, cancer bacteria can be observed in precancerous conditions and in areas distant from the tumor. In general, microbiologists have been silent regarding bacteria in cancer and some remain skeptical about bacterial pleomorphism. Over the past decade British microbiologist Milton Wainwright has written extensively about the history of the cancer microbe and his reports are easily accessible on the Net. In Current Trends in Microbiology in 2006, he wrote: "There are signs that more consideration is being given towards the potential role of non-virus microorganisms in cancer, a fact reflected in the recent appearance of major reviews on the subject, and the consideration of novel approaches such as the possible role of nanobacteria in carcinogenesis. It remains probable however, that until the potential role of non-virus microorganisms in carcinogenesis is taken seriously, and a massive research effort is directed towards determining their role in carcinogenesis, we will face another century when the solution to the enigma of cancer may be staring us in the face, only to remain ignored."
In retrospect, it was premature and irrational a century ago to discard bacteria in cancer because the science of bacteriology was in its infancy. Nothing was known about CWD forms and filterable virus-like forms of bacteria. The recent acceptance (after a century) of bacteria (Helicobacter pylori) as the cause of most stomach ulcers is a case in point. For several decades after his 1940 discovery of peculiar S-shaped bacteria in stomach ulcers, A. Stone Freedberg MD stood alone. His research was totally ignored because doctors believed that bacteria could not exist in the acid environment of the stomach. A half century later, these same bacteria were finally accepted and are now a major factor in the development of stomach cancer. Two Australian scientists (Barry Marshall and Robin Warren) received a Nobel Prize in Medicine in 2005 for proving this. Interestingly, in 1998, a new tumor-like stomach lesion was discovered called "Russell body gastritis."
In order to recognize CWD bacteria in cancer in vivo, one must know what they look like. Physicians are taught that bacteria have a certain fixed type of appearance. Most know little about the pleomorphism of CWD bacteria, particularly the acid-fast mycobacteria. In TB the microscopic appearance of the typical red- staining "acid-fast" rod-shaped bacillus of M. tuberculosis is well-known. However, the pleomorphic CWD forms of M. tuberculosis and mycobacteria look entirely different from the typical rod form. CWD forms in vivo appear primarily as small, round coccal and granular forms. They stain poorly, if at all, with the time-honored Gram stain for bacteria. In addition, the routine stain (hematoxylin-eosin stain) used by pathologists to diagnose cancer is not suitable to demonstrate CWD bacteria. To demonstrate the typical red-staining rods of M. tuberculosis, an "acid-fast" stain in required.
Likewise, in cancer an acid-fast stain is necessary. However, in cancer it is almost impossible to find acid-fast rods typical of mycobacteria. As a result of all this, CWD bacteria in cancer are not recognized; and the large body forms are passed over as Russell bodies of dubious significance. Examples of the microscopic appearance of intra- and extracellular cancer microbes in acid-fast stained tissue sections (viewed at a magnification of 1000 times, in oil) are shown in breast cancer, lung cancer, Hodgkin's disease (lymphoma), Kaposi's sarcoma, AIDS-related immunoblastic sarcoma, and prostate cancer in Figures 1-7. Note that the microscopic appearance of CWD bacteria in vivo appears similar in various types of cancer, and consists primarily of small coccoid forms, resembling the size and shape of ordinary staphylococci.

Can the cancer microbe be seen in diseases other than cancer? Further complicating the bacteriology of cancer is the observation that similar-appearing microbes can be seen in vivo in certain chronic diseases, such as lupus, scleroderma, sarcoidosis, and others.(For details, consult my papers posted on the joimr.org website.) Livingston claimed that all human beings carried cancer microbes; and she postulated these microbes were closely connected with the origin of life. In the healthy state these microbes caused no harm and were beneficial. However, when the immune system was weakened, these bacteria were capable of inducing a variety of human illnesses, including cancer. CWD bacteria may
prove to be the cause of many illnesses currently regarded as "of unknown etiology." Because submicroscopic forms of CWD bacteria are virus-sized, they may be confused with ordinary viruses. CWD bacteria are also resistant to antibiotics and are difficult (if not impossible) to eradicate or subdue, at least in the current state of our knowledge.
Are these microbes the true cause of cancer? Although bacteria can be identified in cancer, there are obviously other well-known factors that can induce cancer, such as sunlight in skin cancer, smoking in lung cancer, radiation-induced cancer, etc. But in each case it may require these ever-present bacteria to induce the cellular changes of cancer. The demonstration that these microbes are found within the cell and even within the nucleus (as shown by Irene Diller) indicates that these agents may access the genetic material of the cell, thereby transforming the cell to a cancerous state. In this respect, CWD forms may act like viruses. Studies by Douglas Robinson MD show that bacteria (like viruses) may swap genes back and forth between the infected cell and the microbe.
If cancer is finally accepted as an infection with bacteria it could explain why some people develop two or more different kinds of cancer in their lifetime. At present, physicians believe each type of cancer is different, each requiring its own special type of treatment. Because physicians do not believe in the existence of a cancer microbe, there has been no therapy devised to treat this infection. In my view, Virginia Livingston's greatest contribution was her observation that the microbe could be detected in all cancers in vivo with an acid-fast stain. Only when physicians learn to recognize and accept these infectious bacteria in cancer can we begin to design appropriate therapies against them.

Feb. 4, 2008 -- Children born to women who suffer the death of a loved one during their first trimester of pregnancy may be at increased risk for developing schizophrenia, new research shows.
The study is not the first to suggest that a mother's psychological state can influence her unborn child's brain development, but it is the largest, involving nearly 1.4 million Danish children followed for decades.
The schizophrenia risk was still quite small in the children of women who experienced the death of a family member early in pregnancy, and the findings need to be confirmed.
But researchers say the study adds to the evidence that severe stress early in pregnancy -- in this case the death of a parent, sibling, spouse, or child -- may negatively impact fetal brain development.
"We did not see this association in the months before pregnancy, or after the first trimester," says study co-author Kathryn M. Abel, PhD, of the University of Manchester.
Stress and Schizophrenia
Abel and colleagues from the University's Center for Women's Mental Health Research examined data from a comprehensive, nationwide Danish health registry, which recorded about 1.38 million births in the country between 1973 and 1995.
The same registry was used to determine if mothers who gave birth during this time had first-degree relatives who died, received a diagnosis of cancer, or had a heart attack or stroke during their pregnancies.
Roughly 22,000 women experienced the death of a close relative during pregnancy, and about 14,000 had a relative treated for a life-threatening illness.
A total of 7,331 schizophrenia cases were identified among Danes born between 1973 and 1995 over at least two decades of follow-up.
Being born to a mother who had a close relative die during her first trimester was found to be associated with a 67% increased risk for schizophrenia.
But a similar death up to six months before conception or at any other time during pregnancy did not appear to elevate risk, nor did having a seriously ill relative during pregnancy.
Abel tells WebMD that the research team plans to repeat the study using the Swedish health registry, which is more than twice the size of the Danish one.
The newly published study appears in the February issue of the journal Archives of General Psychiatry.
"We also want to expand the research to look for other mental health outcomes," Abel says. "I think it is highly likely that if we look at a broader spectrum of psychiatric disorders we will find that those are increased as well."
Some Stress May Be Good
Developmental psychologist Janet DiPietro, PhD, who also studies the impact of maternal stress on fetal brain development, says even if major traumatic events such as the death of a loved one do influence schizophrenia risk, the risk is still very small.

Now is the time to act! Preserve our access to bio-identical hormones and protect the right of the consumer to choose and the practitioner to practice without unwarranted interference by the FDA.
On January 9, 2008, the FDA sent numerous pharmacies, large and small, an order to stop using Estriol, and the term “bio-identical” in their hormone replacement formulas. This is an unprecedented attack on compounders, patients and physicians because until now NO compounded drug component with a USP monograph has been withdrawn from circulation unless there has been evidence of harm to patients. Yet that is what the FDA is doing! If they can do it to Estriol, they can do it to anything they wish to!
The FDA admitted in their press conference that there is no evidence of harm to any patient from the use of Estriol in compounds. It has been used since 1980, is available throughout the world in numerous prescription compounds approved by other nation’s FDAs, and there is even an investigational new drug application, approved by the FDA, that uses much higher doses of Estriol than is used in any BHRT formula.

Below is the sample letter:
Subject: Do Women Need FDA-approval Before They "Manufacture" Estriol?
Dear [decision maker name automatically inserted here],
On January 9, 2008, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration sent warning letters to pharmacies to stop providing Estriol in their bio-identical hormone preparations for post-menopausal women and were ordered to stop using the term "bio-identical hormone."
Countless women currently rely on replacement hormones that are prescribed by their doctors and compounded in local pharmacies.
Estriol is the weakest of the three types of estrogen (the other two are estradiol and estrone) and is derived from a plant source and therefore unpatentable in the US. Estriol is utilized throughout Europe and other places in the world as a component of prescription drugs, including by some of the manufacturers of FDA "approved" synthetic hormones. Yet the FDA claims that Estriol is "a new and unapproved drug" and that "the safety and effectiveness of Estriol is unknown." That is directly contradicted by the fact is has approved an investigational new drug application at UCLA that uses Estriol to treat MS patients at many times the level of Estriol found in bio-identical hormone prescriptions.
Estriol is used in 80% of bio-identical hormone replacement therapy prescriptions and is made by the human body. Research indicates it is a very protective female hormone. In a recent press conference, the FDA admitted that no adverse event involving compounded bio-identical Estriol has ever been reported even though doctors and hospitals have to report adverse events.
Research involving 15,000 women funded by the Department of Defense and conducted at Kaiser-Permanente Oakland found that women who produced the most Estriol during their first pregnancy had 58% less breast cancer over the next forty years. Estriol has had a USP Monograph since 1980. In the Food and Drug Administration Modernization Act of 1997, Congress acted to stop the FDA's claim that compounded drugs were somehow "new drugs." The law passed clearly stated that items with a USP monograph could be compounded.
At the same time, the FDA continues to support synthetic hormone replacement drugs offered by the big drug companies, even though studies have raised questions about possible heart and cancer risks from these hormones - a fact the FDA knows full well, since they have placed their own Black Box Warnings on each of them.
These drugs come from horses or are imprecise versions of natural human hormones. Why would any woman prefer horse hormones or imprecise-yet-patentable copies of human hormone molecules to ones chemically identical to those found naturally in her body?
The FDA is ignoring the 70,000 responses from the public urging them to not restrict access to bio-identical hormones and appears to be in acting in the best interest of synthetic hormone manufacturers who have made it well known that they wish bio-identical hormones would be banned as it would open the market for their dwindling products' sales.
I urge you to take action immediately to preserve congressional intent in the FDA reauthorization bill in 1997, and stop the FDA from denying women the right to choose their own hormone replacement therapy, and denying the right of physicians to practice medicine within their scope, training and expertise. There is no valid scientific or medical reason for this new action by the FDA.
I urge you to stop the FDA's usurpation of power. I hope you will help to preserve our access to bio-identical hormones.
Sincerely,
(YOUR NAME HERE) cc: President George W. Bush

What's At Stake:
On Monday, February 4th, Dr. Jonathan Wright and others sponsored an ad supporting bio-identical hormones in numerous papers across the nation.Therefore, the time to write your member of Congress and the President is right now.If the FDA wins on this issue, compounded medicines will be a thing of the past, and personalized medicine will be lost to a “one-size-fits-all” synthetic drug world where unpatentable medicines like natural hormones, IV vitamins, and many other medications we take for granted will be lost to us.
So join the fight today and preserve the right of the consumer to choose and the practitioner to practice.
In addition, we have discovered that for $100,000 we can file a law suit to enjoin the FDA from taking further action.Unfortunately the compounding pharmacy industry is strapped because of the legal costs involved in answering the latest FDA complaints, fighting the Midland case, and other assaults by the FDA these past few years so we really need the practitioners and patients to step up to the plate.Remember the FDA’s goal is to end compounded medications and they have been at it for years.Because your tax dollars pay for the lawyers they use to harass health care professionals like compounders, the FDA simply plans to run our side out of money.
The FDA has really gone out on a limb, especially with the smoking gun memorandum discovered under the Midland case, a memo that states that the FDA does not have authority under the law to do this, but with a little “creative” interpretation, they can get at these pesky compounders.At this point, help the Health Freedom Foundation to saw that limb off from the other side, since they have started already.
Join the American Association for Health Freedom and help us reach your elected officials and educate them about the importance of protecting your right to access bio-identical hormones.
Provide your tax-deductible donation to the Health Freedom Foundation so we can help fund the law suit to block the FDA’s assault on bio-identical hormones.
Together we can win.Thank you for joining in this vital effort!

I found many herbs that aid in the healing of hepatitis by boosting the immune system and triggering the body's natural production of Interferon, T-cells, antiviral cells, antibacterial cells and anti-fungal cells. These herbs are Ashwaganda, Echinacea, Astragalus, Bupleurum, Dandelion, Reishi, Turmeric, Licorice, Schizandra, and Elethuro. There are herbs that help protect, nourish and restore the liver: Ashwaganda, Astragalus, Bupleurum, Burdock, Dandelion, Licorice, Milk Thistle, Reishi, Skullcap and Yellowdock. There are herbs that aid in alleviating specific symptoms like depression: Ashwaganda, Ginseng Schizandra, pain: Milk Thistle, Reishi, Bupleurum, Skullcap and inflammation: Ashwaganda, Astragalus, Bupleurum, Burdock, Milk Thistle, Reishi, just to name a few. Nutrients are also important, vitamins B, C, E, zinc, selenium, and alpha-lipoic acid are all important for boosting the body's immune system. These also help to support the liver, decrease fatigue, boost energy, help wounds to heal, lower cholesterol and regulate blood sugar levels. Diet also plays an important role in the health of your liver. A diet low in saturated fat, sugar, white flour, and salt will help to reduce the labors of the liver. Proper nutrition is very important to the health of the liver. Eating better quality foods such as fresh fruits and vegetables and foods that are not processed (i.e. fast foods and frozen prepared meals) will aid the body's healing in many ways. Finding a market that has organically grown foods would be my suggestion and a great benefit to your diet. It is also important at this time to avoid drugs, alcohol and cigarettes; these can speed up the illness and cause more damage to the liver. The more we learn about how what we put into our bodies and how it affects us, the better we will be at healing ourselves.
To make tincture, place the herbs in a jar along with a menstruum of alcohol, vinegar or glycerin. It should steep for at least 2 weeks. After 2 weeks the herbs are strained off and the liquid is put in a dark bottle.

Weight Loss Tea
Trying to lose weight in the winter is always tough because we are fighting our body's natural need to hold onto fat for extra warmth. As the weather warms up our bodies naturally want to shed those extra pounds.
Drinking 3-4 cups of our "Weight Loss Tea" will help assist your body to do just that. Chickweed herb, which is the base of this blend is rich in saponins which attach to and move fat from the cells. Of course eating a balanced diet and exercising are essential to this process too. Come on in and try a cup!
Fill a wide mouth jar half full with herbs. Fill jar up to top with a good vodka. Cover tightly and shake daily for 2 weeks. Strain and bottle in dark bottles.
Traditional dosage is 1 tsp. 3 times a day!
If there is a lot of anxiety add 1/2 oz. of Valerian root to the blend.
This is the time of the year that many of us are being bothered with a cold or the flu. For me I try to tell myself that I am "fighting" a cold instead of "catching" a cold and then I begin my fight by increasing my intake of Vitamin C and Garlic, Echinacea and Golden Seal or my Immune tincture. If I should get worse and I begin to run a fever I pull out the big guns and make myself a COLD & FLU TEA
In this tea I use equal parts of:
Peppermint
Elder flowers
Yarrow
This tea increases perspiration so you sweat out the fever. I drink 1/2 of a cup every 1/2 hour until I start to sweat. Then I drink 1/2 cup every one to two hours.
I usually don't stay sick too long using this tea.
Here is a nice formula to use for sinus headaches and congestion. It works like a charm!
1oz. Elder flower
1 oz. Eyebright
1 oz. Echinacea herb
1/2 oz. Orange peel
1/2 oz. Dandelion leaf
1/4 oz. Goldenrod
To make: Mix all herbs together in a jar. Put 1 tsp. herb in a cup and fill with boiling water. Cover and steep about 20 minutes.
Traditionally dosage is 1 cup, 3-4 times a day.
You should get relief within a day but continue to take for a number of days if you know when allergies are worst for you (Spring, Fall), you take 3-4 months before that season begins as a preventative.

Want to keep your heart healthy? The answer, as I’ve told you for years ("Cholesterol Drugs Are Dangerous") and recent reports confirm, isn’t statin drugs. Instead, relatively simple changes can help keep your heart in peak condition.
1. Watch your iron intake. The most prevalent study on human health — the Framingham Study — demonstrates that people with the highest blood iron levels, especially women, had the highest incidence of heart attacks and strokes.
2. Exercise. Most of us have been told at one time or another that we should exercise to prevent heart disease and strokes. Exercise also increases the antioxidant enzymes that protect us from a number of diseases, including atherosclerosis.
In addition, it improves blood flow, protects the brain against degeneration, increases alertness and mental acuity, improves memory, lowers blood pressure, reduces the risk of diabetes, improves lung function, strengthens immunity and inhibits depression.
3. Pure Water. Most of us do not drink enough water, especially pure water. And most people do not realize just how harmful tap water is. Most municipal drinking water contains organochlorine compounds, fluoride, aluminum, industrial chemicals and some microorganisms. All of these are harmful to health and when combined can produce serious health problems.
We should be drinking at least two 12-ounce glasses of pure water three times a day with meals and two more between meals. This means purified water, but not the water in plastic containers. While this water is superior to tap water, it does contain xenoestrogens from the plastic, which have been linked to increased breast cancer rates in women and prostate cancer in men.
4. Avoid Smoking and Smoke-Filled Places. Second-hand smoke has been shown to significantly increase free radical generation and lipid peroxidation in non-smokers.
5. Avoid Stress. Chronic, unrelieved stress has been shown to increase free radical generation in many tissues of the body, especially the brain. Knock off one day a week and relax. Doing so allows the body and mind to regenerate.
You can find additional information on how to make these tips work for you in my Blaylock Wellness Report “Heart Savers: How to Protect Yourself from Heart Attacks and Strokes.” Go here now.
There are four key RealAge habits that can give you an extra 14 years of life. Know what they are?
Here's the list: Don't smoke; drink in moderation; exercise regularly; and pack your diet with fruit and veggies. Missing any? No sweat. We've got some simple tips and tools to kick-start you.
14 Years and Life to Go Grabbing those extra 14 years doesn't have to be hard! Try this:
RealAge Benefit: Actively patrolling your health can make your RealAge as much as 12 years younger.
Great lifelong habits are formed by making small, simple changes in three key areas: nutrition, fitness, and stress. The results move you toward the healthier, happier end of The Spectrum, where life is about the joys of living . . . younger.
Next time you crave a little something sweet, skip the sugar bowl, and spoon on some of this instead: buckwheat honey.
The dark, sweet, sticky stuff will give your body a powerful shot of cell-protective phenols -- something plain old sugar simply can't do.
Color Is Critical Honey is a super way to bolster your body's defenses against the kind of cell-damaging processes that can lead to premature aging and disease. But when it comes to honey's antioxidant content, color makes all the difference. Buckwheat honey, the darkest of all the kinds tested in a recent study, had the highest antioxidant activity by far. (Trying to cut back on calories? Here's advice on how to fake it with sugar substitutes.)
Novel Ways to Get Sweet Hot tea isn't the only way to enjoy a taste of honey. Try serving your next green or fruit salad with this Strawberry-Honey Dressing. Or try Eating Well's take on rice pudding: Honeyed Couscous Pudding.
RealAge Benefit: Getting the right amount of antioxidants through diet or supplements can make your RealAge 6 years younger.
TRY IT!
Drizzle honey over strong cheese, sliced grapefruit, or hot oatmeal. Make it your secret ingredient in spicy chili. Or check out this honey of a cookbook and try Seared Portobello Mushrooms over Grilled Radicchio with Buckwheat Honey and Manchego Cheese. Mmmmmm.
Americans have a love-hate affair with calories. At any given moment, more than 4 out of 10 of us say we’re on a diet, yet we are gobbling 300 calories more each day, on average, than we did 20 years ago. And calorie counts sometimes dominate our lives: We choose workouts based on how many calories they burn, shop for calorie bargains at the grocery store, and blame holiday calories for our widening waistlines. But do we really understand when calories do -- and don’t -- put on pounds? Take this true/false test and see how you score.
1. True or False: Women trying to lose weight should eat no fewer than 1,200 calories a day. True. It’s the lowest, yet still safe, calorie level for weight loss, says Elizabeth Somer, RD, author of 10 Habits That Mess Up a Woman’s Diet. Take a multivitamin to fill in some of the nutritional gaps, since nobody eats perfectly. Extreme dieting on 1,000 calories or less is a recipe for failure: The weight won’t stay off. Plus, shedding pounds too quickly can throw your body chemistry off and increase the risk of heart problems and gallstones (ouch!).
2. True or False: Most people have a pretty accurate idea of how many calories they consume. False. People typically underestimate how much they eat -- sometimes by up to 700 calories a day. “But most of us tend to be off by about a third,” Somer says.
3. True or False: Excess calories go straight to your hips. False. They go straight to wherever your genes tell them to. Could be your waist, could be your chin(s), could be anywhere, including, yes, your hips. But the decision's genetic, not caloric. A calorie is simply a measure of energy, and if you don’t need that energy right away (to sprint for a bus or build new cells, for example), it’s stored -- as glycogen -- in the liver and muscles. When those storehouses are full, excess calories are warehoused as fat in whatever areas your genes favor: sweet cheeks or chubby knees.
4. True or False: Fat calories pack on pounds faster than carb calories. True, if the calories are excess calories -- that is, more than your body needs. What accounts for the difference? It’s really easy for your body to convert excess dietary fat into body fat -- the process burns as little as 3% of the calories involved. But converting the calories in carbs and protein to fat is far harder and burns up to 23% of the calories in the process. That’s why excess fat calories bulk you up faster than excess carb calories.
5. True or False: Calories eaten at night are more fattening than calories consumed during the day. False. Calories eaten at night aren’t any more fattening -- but they are more tempting. During a jam-packed day, you may barely think about food. But when you get home, you’re tired, you're hungry, you want to relax, your resistance is down, and suddenly, everything in sight looks good. Whether you’re contemplating a lovely meal or a quart of ice cream for dinner, it’s easy to overeat after dark.
Here's an extra helping of willpower: Eating a diverse diet that's low in calories and high in nutrients can make your RealAge as much as 4 years younger.
Real age would you do an article on weight vests? I read on the Net, that they help burn a lot more calories while exercising and have other benefits as well. I already work out with hand and ankle weights but I can't use these when I walk my dog.I am seriously considering buying one but don't know whether I should go for one of the cheaper models or an expensive one.

Lets put the rumors to an end. Your body works off of a circadian rythem... what this means for you and me is that your body reacts differently to food in regards to the digestion process during different times of the day. Although calories might not be anymore fattening during the night, your body is much more likley to store these calories as fat. This information is well accepted in the medical world and I encourage any skeptical individuals to research it (including Real-Age who obviously errored in their advise)
Posted by: sergeant | February 04, 2008 at 02:05 PM
It most certainly DOES matter, with respect to your bodyfat-level, when you consume calories, especially when you consume them too soon before you sleep -- because, inter alia, too much of the energy your body would otherwise spend burning fat and building (fat-burning) muscle AT THE MOST EFFICIENT TIME TO DO SO is, instead, spent digesting food in your body.
Any respectable book about weight-loss should contain that information, which should actually be easily retrievable on RealAge.Com.
And as far as those who managed to lose (much) bodyfat despite eating inadvisably close to their respective bedtimes, they obviously would have lost even more and/or lost it faster they not so mistimed their eating with respect to their sleeping.

Some disagreed with item #5 and I do certainly agree with RealAge...it's the total amount of calories you consume in one day and through the week that causes weight gain. At night when you are tired, you tend to eat more and unaware of the caloric intake. It is better to eat small amounts throughout the day and never skip breakfast.This way you won't binge at night time.
I don't get why so many people are misunderstanding your point on #5. The calories themselves are not more fattening at bedtime, it's what we do--or DON'T do--close to bedtime that either makes our bodies hold onto or dispose of the calories. If i eat lightly and do some sort of activity in the evening, i will lose weight easier than if i eat a lot and then proceed to do nothing. How is this so hard to understand?? A lot of you are saying that the calories are "more fattening" when that's not the case at ALL. It's what we choose to do after consuming those calories that is the bottom line.

How about the effect of late meals on dreams? Spicy foods give me strange dreams!
I tend to disagree with statemnet #5. Although you touched upon it, it should be noted that as we eat during the day we are still active in some way - even if you have a sedentary job - you're still moving something. Unfortunately, many Americans come home in the evenings, eat a meal and/or a desert - then do NOTHING (watching TV doesn't count as doing anything in my book), then they go to bed and do even less! My answer to this delimna (and I'm 8.5 years "younger" than my biological age, with an "ideal" BFI) is to eat all day long (I call it perpetual grazing), eat very little at night, yet do the bulk of my excersizing in the evening... typically just before bed time. The extra work out at night burns off what I didn't use during the day, and the added benefit of increased circulation makes me sleep very good, while feeling refreshed when I wake up. For some of those reading this, this dietary change and evening excersizing could make a difference in your overall health, body fat, and how well you feel when you wake up the next day!

I don't agree with #5. I have no problem maintaining and even losing weight when I consume most of my calories in the forenoon but have a lot of trouble maintaining my weight when I cosume most of the calories in the afternoon.

Very interesting and informative articles on food, diet, exercise and many more. Please continue to guide us with new up dates as research progresses on various diseases. Thanks for all your good work and advice to us.
It's basic math, if you eat more calories than you need to maintain or lose weight, you're going to gain weight...no matter what time of day. It's like a bank account, if you deposit more into your account than you expend, then your account is going to git bigger (a good thing in terms of money, but not physically). Figure out how many calories you need to eat in order to maintain your desired weight and stick to that. If you accidentally eat more than you need, burn it up with exercise. A brisk 30 minute walk for an average 130 pound woman burns about 200 calories. P.S. You should be exercising every day!!
I cannot say whether eating 2 hours before bed is detrimental to weight loss or not. However, night eating is "dangerous" as I find that when I am on the downside of my day, I intuitively look to food to boost my energy AND my choices are naturally for quick surges like that which comes from carbs and more accessible sugars. Beware of night eating!!
I can only speak from personal experience. I have lost over 46 lbs. in the last 4 months and am still losing. I eat dinner sometimes as late as 9:00 or 9:30 pm. In my experience it is not so much when or how much I eat, but what it is that I am eating. I have not gained or not lost wieght becuase of eating late or just before bed. A calorie is a calorie whether eaten at noon or at 10:00 pm. I eat between 1500-1700 calories per day and have seen a steady wieght loss of aprox. 2 lbs. a week.
I, too, don't like having to click to read one item, then having to click again and again, just to finish one article. Then, go back to the first page to read the second, etc. Also sometimes, the articles are too long. Don't have that much time to read them all and all of them. Usually contain good info, though.
I've lost 69 pounds, (I've been on you on a diet) and I eat right up until I go to bed. Sometimes I'll eat a salad with oil and vinegar, sometimes a sandwich, sometimes soup, sometimes all of the above.
Why should I fool myself into believing that eating after a certain time is going to keep me from losing weight? If I'm hungry, I'm gonna eat, dagnabit!
The trick is to eat the right things.

I agree with the comments about having to click on each daily featured article to get to the information. I too have dialup service and it is annoying and time consuming.
Posted by: Barbara G | February 04, 2008 at 09:04 AM
I agree with RealAge on #5. No need to overanalyze the time of day calories are consumed. A calorie is a calorie, it doesn't matter when it is consumed. Too many calories are too many calories. Your body is going to take those calories and add pounds to your body if you consume too many over time. It doesn't matter when you consume those calories. You have to look at the overall calories in and calories out.
I like the improved look of the email message, but the whole system would be even better if one click to the Browser allowed all 3 of the Hot Tips to show up on the website.
Instead, now, you have to keep clicking back to the email to look at each Tip in series, which is annoying.
Posted by: Marilyn Bowman | February 04, 2008 at 08:24 AM
No, no and no! If you eat 1000 calories between coming home from work and going to bed, you will not gain weight just because you have eaten them at night and/or you are not active at night. The exercise you do during the day does not just work for that part of the day. Eat the number of calories you need to sustain good health and lose weight (if you need to)at ANY time during the day, even if it's right before you fall asleep. Such mythology!
Saturated fats make you fat; monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats (like extra virgin olive oil and the fats found in nuts), when eaten in moderation are very beneficial to you. They help to decrease your LDL (bad cholesterol) and lend a hand in breaking up the plaque deposits in your heart and blood levels. They also raise your HDL levels (good cholesterol). Furthermore, "good" fats like these contain lots of Omega 3 fatty acids, which actually help you to lose weight and build lean muscle mass. And we all know that building muscle burns fat. Also, if you eat about a handful of nuts (like almonds, walnuts, peanuts, etc...) about 20 minutes before a meal, you will EAT LESS during the meal because of the release of CCK (cholecystokinine) which in turn sends a message to your brain that you are no longer hungry. Hope this helps!
nightime calories are NOT more fattening, they would have the same content no matter what time you eat them. the difference is, during the day you are more active to use those calories-wlaking around work, to your car, running errands, etc. at night when you eat youre more likely just sitting around the house (ex. watching tv, on the computer) or about to go to bed-where your body rests and youre not doing much to use those calories then. so they are stored instead of used, therefore makaing you gain weight.
I agree also with the "Just give the info. straighht so one can scroll down on set of sev. articles/INFO. I truly do dislike [in part maybe due to having to use DialUp & it is Slow] when you must click into separate items -- all sucks up wasted time in our busy lives .... takes away from Exercise ?! what Ex. does one get sitting behind a computer ??? please Listen to comments ~ ~ ~
I'm (only) 30 and I aggree with the comments about the embedded articles. While I used to read through everything RealAge supplied in an article page(and even them I generally skipped out on extra linked pages), now that I have to click away to finish just one article, I often shut the window without bothering to finish through.
In my opinion, this article is a bit better about that then some recent articles have been. But it would also be nice to have links to the other articles of the day -- rather than having to close and reopen my browser through the next email link.
With no link to the other articles on the website, I typically just click on the article that looks most interesting and ignore the others.
Some very good comments. I have heard that sumo wrestlers go to sleep right after they eat a big meal - IN ORDER TO GAIN FAT! So, there must be some link between consuming calories just before going to bed and gaining weight(fat).
I disagree....if you eat carbs at night they will turn to fat a lot easier than if you eat them during the day, your body is burning up more so the calores are not stored/turn to fat.
Agree with johnny B. Nighttime eating can not be equally compared to eating during the day. There are hormonal diffrences ( and the way we convert food into energy) between morning and evening. it is hard to do, but keeping out of the kitchen at night is not only one of the best ways to maintain a healthy weight but also a way to gain a healthy attitude toward food. cheers.

it is a misconception that "all" fat calories are the same. Omega-3 Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) in the natural triglyceride form (same as fish) are "active fats" that are burned more readily and are not stored as excess fat. On the other hand, Americans get an overabundance of Omega-6 EFAs in the form of saturated fat and vegetable oils. This lack of Omega balance may be at the root cause of obesity. Eating more fish and/or taking a fish oil supplement in the natural triglyceride form may actually enhance weight loss and increase lean muscle mass. There are numerous studies that support this information.
I agree with the first comment about having to click multiple times to find anything--you go off on a wild goose chase and loose some of the thread you were interested in.
I would like to see that when we receive an email, you click ONCE and get the article (not multiple times) and the whole article and everything need is right there. Then there could links to related articles at the bottom.
I'm 61.
And I've read scholarly articles saying that calories eaten in the evening are more likely to make you fat, but I don't have the references handy. YOU should give some references if you are making statements like that. How about at the end of the article? The ONE article at a time?
I absolutely HATE the "embedded" nature of your info! Having to click on layer upon layer is anathema to the way my brain is wired. Personally, I would much prefer single-stream articles, presented in a flat, linear mode. (BYW, I'm age 62, & NOT of the multi-task, video-game generation!)

Quite true concerning nightime calories, since the thermogenic response (the ability to turn food into heat) is higher during the morning and reduced during night.

I am a dibetic so most of this information, has been a life saver in keeping my sugar under control. I am doing so with diet and excerise alone. It has been a struggle but has been worth it to me. Thank You for so much helpful information.So far I have lost over fifty pounds and am still looseing weight.
Hi well for the past 3 months I have been eating 1200 calories a day and i have lost 2 lbs.I can tell the difference in my clothes though.When I told the Dr, he said did I exercize? I normally have to cut down to 1000 a day to lose weight. I am 73 so that might be the answer as well as mt Thyroid was zero,so I am checking that out.

Nice first 4 questions and corresponding answers, but RealAge's answer to question 5 is at best misleading, and at worst just plain wrong, since calories consumed too close to bedtime ARE more fattening. Cheers.

Herbal Pharmacy: Ginkgo Biloba
George Nemecz, Ph.D. Assistant Professor of Biochemistry
Wendell L. Combest, Ph.D. Associate Professor of Pharmacology Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences Campbell University School of Pharmacy Buies Creek, NC
Ginkgo biloba, often referred to by its common names Maidenhair tree or simply Ginkgo, is the only living member of the Ginkgo family (Ginkgoaceae). Surviving essentially unchanged for over 200 million years, the Gingko tree is recognized for its sturdiness, resistance to disease and remarkable longevity. Individual trees may live as long as 1,000 years. Traveling back in time to the era of dinosaurs we would see this tree in a "Jurassic Park." Ginkgo survives in its native state only in a few isolated mountain ranges in eastern China. However, it has been extensively cultivated in China, Korea, Japan and in other areas of the world. Ginkgo tree plantations in the U.S. have been established to supply the expanding market for the leaf extract. Today Ginkgo trees are popular in cities and parks throughout the eastern U.S. and Canada. The earliest record of Ginkgo’s medicinal use can be found in the ancient Chinese Materia Medica Pen Tsao Ching dating back to 2800 B.C., describing how aging members of the royal court were treated for senility.1
Active Ingredients and Plant Parts Used
In the West, the extract or tincture from the leaves are primarily used in medicinal preparations. In Chinese traditional medicine, the seed kernels are also commonly used. The typical standardized Ginkgo biloba leaf extract (GBE) contains ginkgolides, bilobalide, bioflavones and flavone glycosides.2 Flavone glycosides include quercetin, 3-methylquercetin and kempferol.3 Quercetin, myrcetin and the rest of the flavonoid fraction of the extract have antioxidant and free radical scavenger effects.3-4
Ginkgolides are a family of bioactive terpenes isolated from the root bark and leaves, and are thought to provide for the neuroprotective properties of the leaf extract.4
Medicinal Use
Throughout most of its medicinal history, the leaves and fruit of the Ginkgo tree have been used for their antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and vasodilatory effects. Today, concentrated and standardized Ginkgo biloba leaf extracts have largely replaced the more crude dried leaf preparations. The primary therapeutic use is now enhancement of various CNS functions such as short-term memory, concentration and alertness, particularly in the elderly. Indeed, most of the recent research concentrates on brain function and cerebral circulation. A summary of more than 40 recent clinical trials investigating the effect of GBE on cerebral insufficiency has been published.5
Standardized GBE administered for 4–6 weeks at a dose of 120 mg/day showed impressive positive results in almost all trials conducted. One interesting double-blinded, placebo-controlled study involving 48 patients between the ages of 51 and 79 tested the effect of GBE (120 mg/day) on general cognitive function.6 The results showed that the Ginkgo treatment group had a significantly shorter stimulus-recognition time compared to controls. Other studies in healthy subjects have documented improvements in short-term memory and other mental abilities, such as improved concentration after taking GBE.7 One long-term aging study utilizing 166 subjects showed a significant improvement in behavioral and clinical tests following three months of GBE treatment.8
The cognitive and behavioral effects of GBE may benefit certain forms of dementia, particularly Alzheimer’s disease. The efficacy of GBE in Alzheimer’s disease and multi-infarct dementia was assessed in a recent randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, multicenter study involving 216 patients.9 Randomized groups received either 240 mg/day of GBE or a placebo and were assessed after a 24-week treatment period. Results based on a multidimensional evaluation tool indicated significant positive effects of GBE in both forms of dementia.
Pharmacologic Mechanisms
The pharmacologic basis of the effects of GBE on brain function has been addressed in a number of animal studies. Several studies have been performed in the rat, utilizing a cerebral insufficiency model in which the blood flow to the brain was reduced by a mechanical blockage of the carotid artery.10,11 Ginkgo biloba extract protected the animals against ischemic brain damage as evidenced by increased levels of glucose and ATP in brain neurons. Another study demonstrated that brain neuronal damage produced by exposure of mice to a neurotoxic agent was significantly reduced by treatment with GBE.12
The neuroprotective effects of GBE could be explained by biochemical effects of various constituents of the extract. The increased blood flow to the brain is likely due to GBE promotion of arterial vasodilation via stimulation of prostaglandin biosynthesis or indirectly by stimulation of norepinephrine release.13,14 Flavones in GBE reduce capillary fragility and protect against capillary blood loss and resultant edema.15 Ginkgolides, especially ginkgolide B, inhibit platelet-activating factor (PAF), which normally induces blood platelet aggregation, among many other effects.4 The resulting increase in blood fluidity could also be a factor in increasing the cerebral circulation and preventing thrombus formation and strokes.
The well-demonstrated potent antioxidant effect of GBE is also an important part of the neuroprotective effect. The ability of GBE to exhibit antioxidant properties has been actively studied in numerous models of oxidative stress. One study, using macrophages and vascular endothelial cells, involved exposure of cells to an oxidative stress that normally results in cell membrane damage and loss of cell viability.16 Ginkgo biloba extract protected biomembranes from oxidative injury and minimized cell loss by acting as an oxygen free radical scavenger. In another study, cultured rat cerebellar neuronal cells were exposed to hydroxyl radicals, creating an oxidative stress which induced a programmed cell death.17 Pretreatment of cells with GBE reduced the hydroxyl radical-induced cell damage and death. Another study in rats involved carotid artery occlusion and examination of oxidative damage in the brain following ischemia and reperfusion.18 Ginkgo was shown to prevent much of this oxidative brain damage. The antioxidant/free-radical protective effect of GBE has also been studied in various cardiac ischemic models. The GBE-treated group in one study showed a significant decrease in the intensity of ventricular fibrillation as well as in the occurrence of other arrhythmias.19 These studies in the brain and heart clearly indicate GBE’s potential value in preventing and treating disorders related to free radical-induced pathology.
Another apparent benefit of GBE is in treating certain cases of tinnitus (ringing in the ears).20 Although GBE may help some patients, it can also fail in other cases due to the diverse etiology of tinnitus. Similar results have been published for the successful treatment of hearing loss by GBE.21 GBE’s efficacy in treating these conditions is likely related to its ability to increase cerebral blood flow and prevent oxidative brain damage.
Consistent with GBE’s ability to increase blood flow to the brain, it improves peripheral circulation in patients with intermittent claudication. Ginkgo biloba treatment (120 mg/day) for up to 24 weeks significantly extended pain-free walking distance in patients with angiographically proven peripheral arterial occlusive disease of the lower extremities.22 This randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind trial involved 60 patients aged 47 to 82.
The anti-inflammatory results seen with GBE are most likely due to its inhibition of platelet-activating factor (PAF), a potent inflammatory autocoid, as well as its inhibition of platelet aggregation. Ginkgolides—especially ginkgolide B—are responsible for this inhibitory action. Platelet-activating factor is produced and plays a significant role in an allergic response.23 It is increasingly apparent that PAF plays an important role in many pathologies, such as asthma, ischemia, renal disease and CNS disorders. Therefore, the pharmacologic basis of many of GBE’s therapeutic effects could involve PAF inhibition and reduction of the inflammatory aspect of a number of disease states.
In summary, GBE has basically three important effects on the body: 1) It improves blood flow to most tissues and organs, especially the brain and heart; 2) It protects against oxidative cell damage from free radicals; and 3) It blocks many of the effects of PAF that have been implicated in the development of a number of cardiovascular, renal, respiratory and CNS disorders.
Available Preparations
Ginkgo biloba is most commonly sold as capsules or tablets containing 40, 60, or 120 mg of a concentrated (50:1) leaf extract. The extract is standardized to contain 24% flavonoids (mostly flavone glycosides) and 6% terpenes (principally ginkgolides). This standardized product was originally manufactured in Germany and was based upon clinical studies to determine the level of the major leaf extract components necessary for the maximum therapeutic benefit. Ginkgo biloba extract has for many years been one of the best-selling drugs in Germany, both as a prescription and an over-the-counter drug. Because of the need to concentrate the leaf extract to achieve a proven clinical effect, it is doubtful that whole leaf preparations are effective, although several such preparations are available. Usual dosage recommendations are a total of 120 mg of standardized extract per day for treatment periods up to six weeks. Other formulations include sublingual sprays, which deliver 40 mg per spray, or concentrated liquid extracts.
Dosage Recommendations and Side Effects
Few, if any, significant side effects have been documented. Rarely, gastrointestinal disturbances, headaches and allergic skin reactions have been reported. However, these side effects usually arise following prolonged administration. A small number of cases of bilateral subdural hematomas have been reported and putatively linked to prolonged use of GBE (up to two years).24,25 Ginkgo biloba’s ability to inhibit PAF-induced platelet aggregation could prolong bleeding time and should be considered, especially when other anticoagulant drugs, including aspirin, are given.
Although Ginko biloba has been shown to inhibit platelet-activating factor, there seems to be little evidence in the literature that indicates problems with prolonged bleeding when it is taken in the usual therapeutic doses for short periods of time. Because there has been at least one report demonstrating a prolonged bleeding time associated with chronic Ginkgo biloba treatment (daily intake for a two-year period), it seems prudent to exercise caution, especially when taking Ginkgo biloba along with other herbs or drugs known to have anticoagulant effects. When used judiciously in appropriate patients, however, Ginkgo biloba appears to offer a number of promising benefits.

Ginkgo biloba, often referred to by its common names Maidenhair tree or simply Ginkgo, is the only living member of the Ginkgo family (Ginkgoaceae). Surviving essentially unchanged for over 200 million years, the Gingko tree is recognized for its sturdiness, resistance to disease and remarkable longevity. Individual trees may live as long as 1,000 years. Traveling back in time to the era of dinosaurs we would see this tree in a "Jurassic Park." Ginkgo survives in its native state only in a few isolated mountain ranges in eastern China. However, it has been extensively cultivated in China, Korea, Japan and in other areas of the world. Ginkgo tree plantations in the U.S. have been established to supply the expanding market for the leaf extract. Today Ginkgo trees are popular in cities and parks throughout the eastern U.S. and Canada. The earliest record of Ginkgo’s medicinal use can be found in the ancient Chinese Materia Medica Pen Tsao Ching dating back to 2800 B.C., describing how aging members of the royal court were treated for senility.1
Active Ingredients and Plant Parts Used
In the West, the extract or tincture from the leaves are primarily used in medicinal preparations. In Chinese traditional medicine, the seed kernels are also commonly used. The typical standardized Ginkgo biloba leaf extract (GBE) contains ginkgolides, bilobalide, bioflavones and flavone glycosides.2 Flavone glycosides include quercetin, 3-methylquercetin and kempferol.3 Quercetin, myrcetin and the rest of the flavonoid fraction of the extract have antioxidant and free radical scavenger effects.3-4
Ginkgolides are a family of bioactive terpenes isolated from the root bark and leaves, and are thought to provide for the neuroprotective properties of the leaf extract.4
Medicinal Use
Throughout most of its medicinal history, the leaves and fruit of the Ginkgo tree have been used for their antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and vasodilatory effects. Today, concentrated and standardized Ginkgo biloba leaf extracts have largely replaced the more crude dried leaf preparations. The primary therapeutic use is now enhancement of various CNS functions such as short-term memory, concentration and alertness, particularly in the elderly. Indeed, most of the recent research concentrates on brain function and cerebral circulation. A summary of more than 40 recent clinical trials investigating the effect of GBE on cerebral insufficiency has been published.5
Standardized GBE administered for 4–6 weeks at a dose of 120 mg/day showed impressive positive results in almost all trials conducted. One interesting double-blinded, placebo-controlled study involving 48 patients between the ages of 51 and 79 tested the effect of GBE (120 mg/day) on general cognitive function.6 The results showed that the Ginkgo treatment group had a significantly shorter stimulus-recognition time compared to controls. Other studies in healthy subjects have documented improvements in short-term memory and other mental abilities, such as improved concentration after taking GBE.7 One long-term aging study utilizing 166 subjects showed a significant improvement in behavioral and clinical tests following three months of GBE treatment.8
The cognitive and behavioral effects of GBE may benefit certain forms of dementia, particularly Alzheimer’s disease. The efficacy of GBE in Alzheimer’s disease and multi-infarct dementia was assessed in a recent randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, multicenter study involving 216 patients.9 Randomized groups received either 240 mg/day of GBE or a placebo and were assessed after a 24-week treatment period. Results based on a multidimensional evaluation tool indicated significant positive effects of GBE in both forms of dementia.
Pharmacologic Mechanisms
The pharmacologic basis of the effects of GBE on brain function has been addressed in a number of animal studies. Several studies have been performed in the rat, utilizing a cerebral insufficiency model in which the blood flow to the brain was reduced by a mechanical blockage of the carotid artery.10,11 Ginkgo biloba extract protected the animals against ischemic brain damage as evidenced by increased levels of glucose and ATP in brain neurons. Another study demonstrated that brain neuronal damage produced by exposure of mice to a neurotoxic agent was significantly reduced by treatment with GBE.12
The neuroprotective effects of GBE could be explained by biochemical effects of various constituents of the extract. The increased blood flow to the brain is likely due to GBE promotion of arterial vasodilation via stimulation of prostaglandin biosynthesis or indirectly by stimulation of norepinephrine release.13,14 Flavones in GBE reduce capillary fragility and protect against capillary blood loss and resultant edema.15 Ginkgolides, especially ginkgolide B, inhibit platelet-activating factor (PAF), which normally induces blood platelet aggregation, among many other effects.4 The resulting increase in blood fluidity could also be a factor in increasing the cerebral circulation and preventing thrombus formation and strokes.
The well-demonstrated potent antioxidant effect of GBE is also an important part of the neuroprotective effect. The ability of GBE to exhibit antioxidant properties has been actively studied in numerous models of oxidative stress. One study, using macrophages and vascular endothelial cells, involved exposure of cells to an oxidative stress that normally results in cell membrane damage and loss of cell viability.16 Ginkgo biloba extract protected biomembranes from oxidative injury and minimized cell loss by acting as an oxygen free radical scavenger. In another study, cultured rat cerebellar neuronal cells were exposed to hydroxyl radicals, creating an oxidative stress which induced a programmed cell death.17 Pretreatment of cells with GBE reduced the hydroxyl radical-induced cell damage and death. Another study in rats involved carotid artery occlusion and examination of oxidative damage in the brain following ischemia and reperfusion.18 Ginkgo was shown to prevent much of this oxidative brain damage. The antioxidant/free-radical protective effect of GBE has also been studied in various cardiac ischemic models. The GBE-treated group in one study showed a significant decrease in the intensity of ventricular fibrillation as well as in the occurrence of other arrhythmias.19 These studies in the brain and heart clearly indicate GBE’s potential value in preventing and treating disorders related to free radical-induced pathology.
Another apparent benefit of GBE is in treating certain cases of tinnitus (ringing in the ears).20 Although GBE may help some patients, it can also fail in other cases due to the diverse etiology of tinnitus. Similar results have been published for the successful treatment of hearing loss by GBE.21 GBE’s efficacy in treating these conditions is likely related to its ability to increase cerebral blood flow and prevent oxidative brain damage.
Consistent with GBE’s ability to increase blood flow to the brain, it improves peripheral circulation in patients with intermittent claudication. Ginkgo biloba treatment (120 mg/day) for up to 24 weeks significantly extended pain-free walking distance in patients with angiographically proven peripheral arterial occlusive disease of the lower extremities.22 This randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind trial involved 60 patients aged 47 to 82.
The anti-inflammatory results seen with GBE are most likely due to its inhibition of platelet-activating factor (PAF), a potent inflammatory autocoid, as well as its inhibition of platelet aggregation. Ginkgolides—especially ginkgolide B—are responsible for this inhibitory action. Platelet-activating factor is produced and plays a significant role in an allergic response.23 It is increasingly apparent that PAF plays an important role in many pathologies, such as asthma, ischemia, renal disease and CNS disorders. Therefore, the pharmacologic basis of many of GBE’s therapeutic effects could involve PAF inhibition and reduction of the inflammatory aspect of a number of disease states.
In summary, GBE has basically three important effects on the body: 1) It improves blood flow to most tissues and organs, especially the brain and heart; 2) It protects against oxidative cell damage from free radicals; and 3) It blocks many of the effects of PAF that have been implicated in the development of a number of cardiovascular, renal, respiratory and CNS disorders.
Available Preparations
Ginkgo biloba is most commonly sold as capsules or tablets containing 40, 60, or 120 mg of a concentrated (50:1) leaf extract. The extract is standardized to contain 24% flavonoids (mostly flavone glycosides) and 6% terpenes (principally ginkgolides). This standardized product was originally manufactured in Germany and was based upon clinical studies to determine the level of the major leaf extract components necessary for the maximum therapeutic benefit. Ginkgo biloba extract has for many years been one of the best-selling drugs in Germany, both as a prescription and an over-the-counter drug. Because of the need to concentrate the leaf extract to achieve a proven clinical effect, it is doubtful that whole leaf preparations are effective, although several such preparations are available. Usual dosage recommendations are a total of 120 mg of standardized extract per day for treatment periods up to six weeks. Other formulations include sublingual sprays, which deliver 40 mg per spray, or concentrated liquid extracts.
Dosage Recommendations and Side Effects
Few, if any, significant side effects have been documented. Rarely, gastrointestinal disturbances, headaches and allergic skin reactions have been reported. However, these side effects usually arise following prolonged administration. A small number of cases of bilateral subdural hematomas have been reported and putatively linked to prolonged use of GBE (up to two years).24,25 Ginkgo biloba’s ability to inhibit PAF-induced platelet aggregation could prolong bleeding time and should be considered, especially when other anticoagulant drugs, including aspirin, are given.
Although Ginko biloba has been shown to inhibit platelet-activating factor, there seems to be little evidence in the literature that indicates problems with prolonged bleeding when it is taken in the usual therapeutic doses for short periods of time. Because there has been at least one report demonstrating a prolonged bleeding time associated with chronic Ginkgo biloba treatment (daily intake for a two-year period), it seems prudent to exercise caution, especially when taking Ginkgo biloba along with other herbs or drugs known to have anticoagulant effects. When used judiciously in appropriate patients, however, Ginkgo biloba appears to offer a number of promising benefits.

Ginkgo and Colchicine: Curiouser and Curiouser, says Alice. (Phytotherapy Review).(colchicine in placental blood)
From: Townsend Letter for Doctors and Patients | Date: 4/1/2002 | Author: Bone, Kerry
During my 20 years plus of reviewing the phytotherapy scientific literature I cannot recall coming across a more bizarre episode than the reported occurrence of coichicine in Ginkgo biloba. A group of US scientists, while investigating natural antiinflammatory substances in pooled placental blood, found a compound present which they identified as colchicine. (1) Naturally the scientists were curious as to the origins of this plant chemical, so they decided to examine individual blood samples from 24 pregnant women. Only five of these contained colchicine and the group reported that all of the colchicine-containing blood samples came from women who used herbal supplements. For some reason they next tested Ginkgo and Echinacea products from local retail outlets and found that only Ginkgo contained significant levels of colchicine (26 (g per tablet). The authors concluded that due to its potential harmful effects, it would appear that Ginkgo biloba should be avoided by women who are pregnant or are trying to con ceive.
Commentary
Colchicine is a drug mainly used to treat acute gout which was originally isolated from the autumn crocus (Colchicum autumnale). It is highly toxic and the effective dose is quite close to a toxic dose. Toxic effects include nausea, vomiting and bone marrow suppression. (2) Colchicine inhibits normal cell division (mitosis) and has also been linked to Down's syndrome. Clearly it is contraindicated in pregnancy. (3)
Before critiquing the actual scientific merit of the study, there are some common sense, logical questions which were not answered by the study (and obviously not asked by peer reviewers).
These are:
* Were the five women with the colchicine levels taking Ginkgo?
* If not, what herbs were they taking?
* Why would a pregnant woman wish to take Ginkgo?
* Why choose just Echinacea and Ginkgo for analysis?
* How many Ginkgo products were tested?
* Why were verified Ginkgo leaves not tested as well?
* Do the findings match the known safety record of Ginkgo? Questions about the research from a scientific perspective are:
* Is it known that Ginkgo contains colchicine?
* Can we expect, from a phytochemical perspective, that Ginkgo should contain colchicine?
* How conclusively was colchicine identified in Ginkgo?
* Could the levels of 'colchicine' in Ginkgo account for the levels found in placental blood?
* Are these levels of 'coichicine' toxic? If so, what effects were observed on the mother and child?
In fact colchicine has never before been reported in Ginkgo and a comprehensive literature search by Professor Farnsworth at the University of Chicago found no evidence of coichicine in Ginkgo. (4) According to Professor Farnsworth: "Based on biogenetic considerations, colchicine should never be found outside of the Monocotyledoneae (e.g. Araceae, Liliaceae) and thus the report of its occurrence in Saussurea sacra (Asteraceae) is an anomaly that has not been duplicated by other reports on the chemistry of this species. Thus, coichicine has never been reported as a normal constituent of Ginkgo biloba nor would it be expected or predicted to be present."
Farnsworth also questioned the scientific validity of the study and the editorial process it underwent to be published. "Anyone who thinks that colchicine can be found naturally in Ginkgo is not qualified to be a peer reviewer of this paper," he said, referring to the editorial process for scientific journals in which papers are reviewed by independent experts to determine their scientific merit and the accuracy of their conclusions prior to publication.
Schwabe, the German company which researched and developed Ginkgo extract tested three separate samples of Ginkgo leaf and failed to find colchicine. This finding was backed up by industry testing in the US. (4)
The Australian TGA (equivalent to the FDA) recently tested five Ginkgo biloba products. Coichicine was not found in any (detection limit 1 (g/g). Interestingly, using a method similar to the study in question, a substance was found in the Ginkgo products which had similar analytical properties to colchicine. Although its identity was not determined, further analysis demonstrated conclusively that this was not colchicine. (5)
Could the levels of colchicine in Ginkgo account for those reportedly observed in the pregnant women? The scientists claimed to have found 49 to 763 [micro]g/L of colchicine in the placental blood of the women allegedly taking herbal supplements. (1) They claim to have found 26 [micro]g of colchicine per Ginkgo tablet. In a multiple dose study of the pharmacokinetics of colchicine, 1 mg per day achieves plasma concentrations in human subjects in the range of 0.3 to 2.5 [micro]g/L. (6) Hence to achieve a level of 49 [micro]g/L of coichicine (the lowest value in the reported range) a person would need to consume around 50 mg of colchicine per day. Since each Ginkgo tablet contains only 26 [micro/g, this equates to around 2000 Ginkgo tablets per day. In their defense, the authors claimed that placental tissue is known to concentrate ingredients from the mother's blood. But even assuming a concentration factor of 50, this is still 40 tablets per day to achieve the lowest reported concentration of colchicine, when the normal dose is typically 3 to 4 tablets per day.
Perhaps most astounding of all, the reported levels of colchicine would have been lethal to the unborn children. Several cases involving suicide by the ingestion of colchicine tablets have been reported in the literature. In one case, the plasma level of colchicine 24 hours after ingestion was 4.5 [micro]g/L, (7) in another the femoral blood level was 62 [micro]g/L. (8) Colchicum autumnale is the richest plant source of colchicine. Yet a case report of a man who consumed 17.1 g of flowers found that his maximum colchicine level was just 4.34 [micro]g/L, which occurred 13 hours after ingestion of the flowers. (9) Nonetheless he was hospitalized with nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain.
The purported link between herbal supplements and colchicine in placental blood is hardly Nobel-Prize-winning material. But the authors and the journal involved made sure that their study received due attention by releasing their findings to the press. And despite the many shortcomings of the study, the press had a field day. Press releases and articles ran headings such as:
* Ginkgo and Pregnancy Don't Mix
* Ginkgo Biloba Compound May Affect Fetus
* Magazine Warns Pregnant Women About Herbal Supplement
But perhaps best of all was the quote attributed in London's Daily Mail to Professor Ernst who is Professor of Complementary Medicine at the University of Exeter. Ernst is quoted as saying that the alleged Ginkgo health risk is "a disaster waiting to happen" and likened it to "another catastrophe like thalidomide."
Despite criticism from the herbal industry, the scientists and journal editor involved in the publication of the study were reported to be unrepentant. (10) Perhaps the next time, before chemists and biologists report on the potential harmful effects of herbs, they should enlist advice from a phytochemist and a toxicologist (and maybe even a phytotherapist!)
What the world press has been noticeably silent about is the increasing evidence of harm attributed to the use of conventional pharmaceuticals during pregnancy, based on actual case studies. A superficial scan of the recent literature has revealed a link between caffeine and early spontaneous abortion, (11) anticonvulsant drugs and birth defects" and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and increased risk of miscarriage.

Heating Baby and Plastic Bottles Releases Gender-Bending Chemical
When it comes to Bisphenol A (BPA) exposure from polycarbonate plastic bottles, it’s not whether the container is new or old but the liquid’s temperature that has the most impact on how much BPA is released, according to University of Cincinnati (UC) scientists.
Scott Belcher, PhD, and his team found when the same new and used polycarbonate drinking bottles were exposed to boiling hot water, BPA, an environmental estrogen, was released 55 times more rapidly than before exposure to hot water.
This chemical, BPA, is toxic and may even alter one's sexual characteristics.
“Previous studies have shown that if you repeatedly scrub, dish-wash and boil polycarbonate baby bottles, they release BPA. That tells us that BPA can migrate from various polycarbonate plastics,” explains Belcher, UC associate professor of pharmacology and cell biophysics and corresponding study author. “But we wanted to know if ‘normal’ use caused increased release from something that we all use, and to identify what was the most important factor that impacts release.”
Story continues below . . .
“Inspired by questions from the climbing community, we went directly to tests based on how consumers use these plastic water bottles and showed that the only big difference in exposure levels revolved around liquid temperature: Bottles used for up to nine years released the same amount of BPA as new bottles.”
The UC team reports its findings in the Jan. 30, 2008 issue of the journal Toxicology Letters.
BPA is one of many man-made chemicals classified as endocrine disruptors, which alter the function of the endocrine system by mimicking the role of the body’s natural hormones. Hormones are secreted through endocrine glands and serve different functions throughout the body.
The chemical-which is widely used in products such as reusable water bottles, food can linings, water pipes and dental sealants-has been shown to affect reproduction and brain development in animal studies.
“There is a large body of scientific evidence demonstrating the harmful effects of very small amounts of BPA in laboratory and animal studies, but little clinical evidence related to humans,” explains Belcher. “There is a very strong suspicion in the scientific community, however, that this chemical has harmful effects on humans.”
Belcher’s team analyzed used polycarbonate water bottles from a local climbing gym and purchased new bottles of the same brand from an outdoor retail supplier.
All bottles were subjected to seven days of testing designed to simulate normal usage during backpacking, mountaineering and other outdoor adventure activities.
The UC researchers found that the amount of BPA released from new and used polycarbonate drinking bottles was the same-both in quantity and speed of release-into cool or temperate water.
However, drastically higher levels of BPA were released once the bottles were briefly exposed to boiling water.
“Compared to the rate of release from the same bottle, the speed of release was 15 to 55 times faster,” explains Belcher.
Prior to boiling water exposure, the rate of release from individual bottles ranged from 0.2 to 0.8 nanograms per hour. After exposure, rates increased to 8 to 32 nanograms per hour.
Belcher stresses that it is still unclear what level of BPA is harmful to humans. He urges consumers to think about how cumulative environmental exposures might harm their health.
“BPA is just one of many estrogen-like chemicals people are exposed to, and scientists are still trying to figure out how these endocrine disruptors-including natural phyto-estrogens from soy which are often considered healthy-collectively impact human health,” he says. “But a growing body of scientific evidence suggests it might be at the cost of your health.”

The shocking truth of how a political "favor" got the government to approve this poison -- and why aspartame is making us sicker and fatter than good old sugar ever could!
Read below for details on how you can:
LOSE WEIGHT and beat diabetes with a real "sugar" that's virtually calorie-free
SLASH ALZHEIMER'S RISK OVERNIGHT...it couldn't be easier!
KEEP CHOLESTEROL LEVELS ABOVE 200 because massive strokes soar when it's lower

Time after time, "Dr. Douglass was right!"
"He was right about BREAST-FEEDING BABIES!" Nearly 40 years ago, bottle-feeding was at its peak of fashion. Dr. Douglass took on the food companies and argued that it was unhealthy.
"He was right about HYSTERECTOMIES!" Long before popular women's magazines began warning about this, Dr. Douglass took surgeons to task for bullying women into this drastic and often unnecessary measure.
"He was right about IRON!" Just this year, The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition started noticing that excess iron ingested through supplements and "enriched" foods is killing many people. Dr. Douglass has been warning of this for more than 15 years.
"He was right about HEART DISEASE!" Research studies are now pouring out of Universities and medical labs, demonstrating that eggs, fish, meats and other cholesterol-rich foods are wonderfully heart-healthy and not a deadly toxin. They're just catching up to what Dr. Douglass said for 20 years.
"He was right about CANCER!" In the summer of 2001, brand-new studies show that alternative treatments once spurned by the medical establishment are truly saving lives. Dr. Douglass has championed treatments like these since 1962.
He's been exposing medical conspiracies and pioneering breakthrough treatments for nearly 4 decades. Here's your invitation to join him on the path to real health!
THE SWEETEST SCANDAL in the history of American health!
Did you know the FDA refused to approve this best-selling sweetener for 16 years...?
Until one powerful politician called in a favor which finally got it legalized...?
And now it's been linked to brain cancer, memory loss, impaired vision, hearing loss, joint pain, asthma, coma, seizures...?
See below, save your life and learn the real facts about...
My Dear Incredulous Friend:
Ever wonder what our former Secretary of Defense did before he got into politics?
Well years ago, he was the fearless leader of a company called GD Searle Corp. that developed a "miracle sweetener" called aspartame. (Yes, the very same stuff contained in that those that little blueblue packet.)
For years, this company tried in vain to get aspartame approved. But no one wanted to go near the stuff! The FDA refused to approve it for 16 years. In fact, according to a report I recently uncovered, the late Dr. M. Adrian Gross, a former senior FDA toxicologist, stated in his testimony before Congress:
"Beyond a shadow of a doubt, aspartame triggers brain tumors"and, "therefore, by allowing aspartame to be placed on the market the FDA has violated the Delaney Amendment, which forbids putting anything in food that is know to cause cancer...And if the FDA itself elects to violates its own the law, who is left to protect the health of the public?"
But wait, it gets worse...
In the early '80s, "Rummy the Magnificent" moved into the political arena. And one of the first moves he made was to appoint a new FDA commissioner. And guess what he did? In 1981, the new appointee approved aspartame for the good old boys back at GD Searle...despite the clinically proven dangers.
Before long, aspartame was everywhere, from soda to salad dressing! Now let's look at what it's "contributed" to America's health...
92 reasons why aspartame makes sugar look like a "good guy"...
For starters, medical authorities estimate that aspartame has brought more complaints to the FDA than any other additive. In fact, it's responsible for as many as 75 percent of such complaints to that agency. And, after receiving some 10,000 consumer complaints, the FDA compiled a list of 92 symptoms linked to aspartame -- including death.
Headaches, memory loss, seizures, vision loss, coma, and cancer. It also appears to worsen or mimic the symptoms of such conditions as fibromyalgia, MS, lupus, ADD, diabetes, Alzheimer's, chronic fatigue, and depression...
Why so many? It could be because aspartame attacks your body at the cellular level so it can negate all kinds of medications Americans take, including antidepressants, Coumadin, cardiac drugs, hormones, insulin, vaccines, and many others.
It is a deadly neurotoxic drug masquerading as a harmless additive.
And to add insult to injury...
Aspartame could makes you hungrier and fatter!
One medical investigator, Dr. H. J. Roberts, even concludes that aspartame has caused our obesity epidemic. He gives evidence that this "guilt-free" sweetener secretly makes you crave carbohydrates which, of course, make you gain weight.
How? Possibly it may trigger or over stimulate the stomach's production of ghrelin, also known as the "hunger hormone." If this hypothesis turns out to be correct, it will help to explain why all those "diet" sodas have never been much help in weight reduction. (In fact, just the opposite!)
So why is the media mum?
Simple. Because professional organizations and their publications have all been bought off.
By who? The food giants. They all use this inexpensive imposter in huge quantities for their colas, desserts, candies, and other junk foods. And they're the ones who have financed a raft of studies "proving" the safety of aspartame.
So what's safe and actually TASTES GOOD?
I can hear you asking: "Ok Dr. Douglass, so what can I sprinkle into my coffee?"
Let's run through the usual suspects then I'll tell you what I've been using...
SUGAR: A spoonful once in a while is fine, but in time, too much sugar can lead to diabetes, which will lead to heart disease, renal disease, peripheral vascular disease, diabetic retinitis (blindness), diabetic peripheral neuropathy and the list goes on and on. (Even so, next to aspartame, sugar looks almost attractive!)
SUCRALOSE: A very dangerous new chemical -- because in order to make sucralose, chlorine is added to sugar! Ever spilled chlorine bleach on your skin? No wonder that research by the Sucralose Toxicity Information Center showed that years of sucralose use can lead to serious compromise of the immune system and neurological disorders.
SACCHARINE: Yuck. Despite those famous animal studies, I actually don't count saccharine as much of a cancer threat to humans. But face it, saccharine tastes like the chemical experiment it is. Enough said.
STEVIA: Yes, it's natural. Yes, it's safe. But no, it tastes nothing like sugar. Okay for some, but not in my coffee!
XYLITOL: Almost gets a perfect score. Natural, tastes like sugar, good for your teeth, doesn't spike blood sugar. On the down side, it gives some folks the trots.
AND THE WINNER IS:
You've probably never heard of it. It's called erythritol. And here's the best news: erythritol is natural, virtually calorie-free, tastes like sugar, doesn't affect blood sugar or insulin levels, reduces dental plaque -- and unlike xylitol, has no laxative side-effects. Available as Smart Sweet, it gets the Dr. Douglass nod!
The food giants would certainly like to keep these discoveries hush-hush. But now that you know the facts, you can kiss those killer awful blueblue packets good-bye forever. And satisfy that sweet tooth with a yummy, natural, safe alternative.
So who am I to be swinging this ax?
I’m William Campbell Douglass, M.D.
I’ve been called “the conscience of modern medicine,” and the National Health Federation voted me “Doctor of the Year.”
But I’ve also been labeled a “maverick,” and several less flattering names too by some of the biggest names in government and the health establishment--but hey, that’s part of the territory. And friend, my territory is everywhere...
I’ve flown with US Navy crews as a Flight Surgeon...
Saved lives as a long-time emergency physician...
Battled malaria in bullet-torn regions of Central America...
Fought deadly epidemics at my own health clinic in Africa...
Worked alongside doctors at Russia’s renowned Pasteur Institute...
I’ve even been called before Congress (they never asked me back)...
And if there’s one undeniable medical fact I’ve learned in 40 years of treating patients all over the world, it’s that...

The Incredible, Edible Egg Yolk
July, 2005

Note: For critical information about protecting the right to buy dietary supplements, obtain decentralized health information and buy food from local small farms -- all of which are under attack in the United States -- please see my page on Ron Paul's presidential campaign.
Egg yolks? But they're full of cholesterol!
I'm sure you've heard it before. When you think of a "health freak," you don't think of someone eating egg yolks and discarding the white.
Think again.
Egg Nutrition: Yolk vs. White
Egg yolks are indeed full of cholesterol. Like most cholesterol-rich foods, they are jam-packed full of important nutrients.
In fact, the slew of nutrients in an egg yolk is so comprehensive that a few a day would offer better insurance than a multi-vitamin. Most importantly, the yolk contains most of the nutrients in an egg.
Egg whites, on the other hand, contain far fewer nutrients. The only thing that could justify their consumption is their attachment to their companion yolk.
Don't believe it? Below is a table that compares the nutritional value of egg whites and yolks, with data provided by the USDA. I've included additional analysis in the last two columns that provides the percentage of the total nutrition found in the yolk and the percentage of total nutrition found in the white.
