Dr. Seidman’s book titled Save your Hearing Now is at Time Warner Publishing house in the editing phase. It is due on shelves by the summer.
We need to do more about protecting our hearing. It is a precious and often overlooked resource, UNTIL IT IS GONE! This book outlines important preventive measures and provides scientifically validated strategies to slow and in some cases reverse hearing loss, using a patented and proprietary system. Keep an eye (or an ear) out for the book, you are sure to love it.
New patent awarded
to Dr. Seidman. Seidman was just notified by the patent office that his
molecular aging test is novel and patentable. Dr. Seidman, using highly
sophisticated molecular biologic techniques has developed a test that
determines an individuals MOLECULAR AGE. Take for example two 50 year old individuals.
Susie, in
This is PRECISELY the patent
that was awarded to Seidman in 1999 and has already
unfortunately been “knocked” off by two separate companies. This is the Anti-age Energy formula made
by Body Language Vitamin Co
Thus, not only can we assess your molecular age, we can “treat” it and essentially slow the aging clock down and in some cases even reverse it a bit! Pretty amazing science!
Personal Use of Hair Dyes
and Risk of Cancer
Takkouche et al
JAMA May 25, 2005 Vol 293; No 20
This study evaluated 210 articles on the above subject. They did not find strong evidence of a marked increase in the risk of cancer among personal hair dye users. However, they mentioned that some cancers of the blood have been shown to increase (noted in 1 or 2 studies). They conclude that hair dyes are probably safe, but that further investigation is warranted.
Physical Activity and
Survival After Breast Cancer Diagnosis
Holmes et al JAMA
Holmes studied 2987 registered nurses in the Nurses’Health
Study who were diagnosied with stage I-III breast cancer between
1984-1998. They found that compared to women who engaged in less than 3
MET-hours per week of physical activity had a greater risk of death from breast
cancer than thoughs who exercised more.
Essentially, they were able to conclude that physical activity after a
diagnosis of breast cancer may reduce the risk of dying from the cancer. They
found the greatest benefit in women who performed the equivalent of 3-5 hours
of walking per week (at an average pace). Interestingly, they did not find that
more exercised further lowered the risk.
I vote for the preventive aspects and exercise
BEFORE you get a cancer (there are numerous articles supporting the benefits of
routine exercise and a decreased risk of cancer). We must swing the pendulum to
preventive medicine, not treating after the fact.
Essential Nutrients:Food or Supplements? Where should the emphasis be?
Lichtenstein and Russell JAMA
We all know that eating a healthy diet is CRITICAL. However, our fast paced lives do not always allow for this. Hence taking only one example, our diet is heavily weighted in the Omega 6’s to Omega 3’s (in ~ 20:1 ratio, where it should be in a ratio of Omega 3’s to 6’s of 3:1. For details see the Educational Resources section in the word document and also the powerpoint presentations on The Skinny on the Essential Fatty Acids) This article supports the use of healthy eating and says the data is not clear regarding nutritional supplementation. I, of course, disagree and believe that the science has been out there for 25 plus years that SUPPLEMENTATION should be a staple in our daily diets. This does not mean that we should not have healthy meals, it merely means that we can all use a heaping dose of nutritional supplementation…a shameless plug for ALL OF YOU to be using BODY LANGUAGE VITAMIN CO, flagship four products of the most important pills you can take!:

Anti-age Energy formula (patented)
2. Antioxidant Formula (proprietary)

Acute Illnesses Associated
with Pesticide Exposure at Schools
Alarcon et al JAMA
Alarcon demonstrates that pesticides are a notable problem on school property. They surveyed data from 1998-2002 of 2593 persons with acute pesticide related illnesses associated with school exposure. They essentially showed that both students and employees are exposed to these hazardous compounds. They recommend working with schools to reduce “Pesticide drift” and the adoption of pesticide spray buffer zones in and around the schools.
Long-Term Effects of Stress Reduction on
Mortality in Persons > 55 Years of Age with Systemic Hypertension.
Schneider et al evaluated 202 human subjects and found that specific stress-reduction approaches can be used to prevent and control high blood pressure. The example cited was Transcendental Meditation (TM). HAVE YOU MEDITATED TODAY?
Cut back on red meat to
avoid colon cancer
Jean Carper writes that if you eliminate red meat from your
diet and eat fish and poultry, you will reduce your risk of colon cancer. A
large study showed that eating ~ 6 Oz of red meat (or processed meat) daily,
increases your risk of colon cancer by 35%. In contrast they found that if you
eat ~ 3 Oz of fish a day, you can reduce your risk of colon cancer by 31%. HOWEVER, Seidman warns us that the literature
is convincing that we have to be careful about the fish we eat because of the
mercury, lead, PCB’s and other toxins that are in our fish today. This
is yet another reason to STRONGLY consider consuming four pills of our outstanding
Essential Oils Formula each and every day.
