Baking soda not chemo.

November 24, 2008 / Mike Furci

“The majority of the cancer patients in this country die because of chemotherapy, which does not cure breast, colon or lung cancer. This has been documented for over a decade and never-the-less doctors still utilize chemotherapy to fight these tumors.” (Allen Levine, MD, The Healing of Cancer, Marcus Books, 1990)

Many people would be surprised to learn that treating cancer with chemo only has a 5- year survival success rate of just two percent for all cancers. If not Chemo, then what should one use to fight cancer? Author Dr. Mark Sircus, “Winning the War on Cancer”, Believes sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) is a natural form of chemo that effectively kills cancer cells without the side effects. Dr Simoncini’s experience has shown that 99% of breast and bladder cancer can heal in just six days, entirely without surgery, chemo or radiation. He’s done this using a local infiltration device, like a catheter, to deliver the sodium bicarbonate directly to the infected site.

Many chemo treatments include sodium bicarbonate to help patients? kidneys, heart and nervous system. It’s been said that administering chemo without bicarbonate could possibly kill a patient on the spot. Could it be that any benefits seen administering chemo with baking soda, are the result of baking soda not the chemo?

Diet and Tesosterone Levels

November 4, 2008 / Mike Furci

A recent study performed in Finland included men ages 49 to 73 who underwent 21 weeks of supervised training and dieting. Half the subjects ate a high-fiber, low-fat diet including grains, fruits, vegetables, lean meat, fish and dairy. This diet led to a decline in men?s testosterone. The study also found that subjects who ate more protein and had a fat intake of at least 30 percent had higher levels of testosterone and improved muscular gains. Eating less than 30 percent fat seemed to adversely affect hormone levels. The amount of fiber did not have an adverse effect on building muscle or hormone levels.

Low back pain; relief is possible.

October 29, 2008 / Mike Furci

“By the time I saw Ali on Sept. 17, 2007, I was experiencing pain and stiffness, to some degree, 100 percent of the time. On a pain scale from zero to10, 10 being the worst pain I ever felt, I reported a three to eight, depending on the day. The pain had recently started radiating bilaterally into the buttocks, and I was also experiencing some ?low back weakness.? I was having a great deal of difficulty at work, and my workouts were piss-poor to say the least. I also started to experience some depression because after being so active my whole life and loving my job, my prognosis for the future looked pretty grim.

After Ali?s thorough assessment during that first visit, she devised a treatment plan that included muscle stimulation, chiropractic manipulation and ART to the associated muscles. After six visits Ali explained she would re-evaluate to determine the treatment effectiveness and adjust accordingly. I had seen, and heard, quite frequently, that athletes start to feel relief, even after the initial treatment. I wouldn?t have believed it if I didn?t experience it. The evening after my first treatment, and the next day, I had more flexibility and less pain than I did over the last several months. After three visits I couldn?t believe the progress.

Fast forward to today. I have benefited so greatly from the expertise of Dr. Aliann Young (below), ART and disc decompression, that I felt compelled to get the information out to as many of our readers as possible.”

Study shows improvement in joint pain and cartilage damage.

October 25, 2008 / Mike Furci

According to a new study, glucosamine sulfate combined with chondroitin sulfate reduced joint pain and cartilage damage in an animal model of osteoarthritis.

Researchers induced osteoarthritis in rats. They then gave the rodents either glucosamine alone, glucosamine plus chondroitin or a placebo starting 7 days prior to when the osteoarthritis was induced until 70 days into the study, when the rodents were sacrificed. Joint pain was evaluated daily using the rat-knee joint articular incapacitation test. Structural joint damage also was assessed.

The combination of glucosamine and chondroitin?but not glucosamine alone?significantly reduced joint pain compared to the controls. There was an increase in chondroitin content in the osteoarthritis group given the two nutrients compared to controls. The structural changes that occurred in the cartilage of rats with experimental osteoarthritis also were significantly prevented by administration of both the glucosamine and chondroitin.

The researchers concluded that glucosamine sulfate plus chondroitin sulfate provides analgesic and structural benefits in this animal model of arthritis. They noted that this was the first study to show that the biochemical alterations that occur along with structural damage in osteoarthritis are prevented by glucosamine/chondroitin administration.

Boost your Test

September 25, 2008 / Mike Furci

“Over the last several years, Biotest has released new versions of their tribulus product. I’ve taken them all and have been very satisfied. I just finished six weeks of the latest version simply called Tribex. It’s their tribulus stand-alone product with no additional extracts in the formula. Biotest has also bumped up the potency due to new technology and research, which allows you to get the maximum dose in just two capsules.

I have to say, this product is a must for guys who want a boost to their workouts and libido. Especially those of you who are in your 40s like myself, who find it a little more difficult to recover from their workouts. Tribex is a must for anyone’s arsenal to beat back Father Time.”
