Enzymes Defined and How to Buy Them

In today's newsletter, Enzymes Defined, we're going to take an extremely detailed look at supplemental enzymes. This is a long newsletter, but also a very important one. If you're looking for a simple report that skips the details and says "Buy this," you'll be disappointed. In fact, we don't even get to cover the details of buying digestive enzymes and systemic proteolyic enzymes in this report. This newsletter is just about understanding ...

Pure Poison: Aluminum Adjuvant Linked to Breast Cancer, Autoimmune Disorders, and More

Studies have been around for over a decade linking breast cancer to aluminum poisoning. Women unknowingly using antiperspirants filled with aluminum were found to have genotoxic cancer profiles. In short, the breasts of women suffering from cancer were full of the the stuff. Aluminum is also known to interfere with estrogen balance in the body as well as cause DNA changes. While there are ample scientific journals espousing the toxicity of aluminum from antiperspirants, why are they not talking about aluminum in several other things we are exposed to daily?

Tomatoes Found to Help Maintain Weight, Prevent Breast Cancer

Likely thanks to various nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals such as lycopene, a diet rich in tomatoes may be able to help reduce a woman’s risk of obesity and developing breast cancer, according to new research to be published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism.

Eating Flaxseed May Reduce Breast Cancer Mortality By Up To 70%

Mainstream medicine continues to push women to get yearly mammograms as a way to defend themselves against the epidemic of deadly breast cancer. However, mammograms do nothing to prevent the disease or improve survival rates. But the amazing little flaxseed does.

Vitamin D for Cancer

Exposure to sun at Buluh Beach, Sedili Kecil

Fighting cancer is a tough battle, no matter where it occurs in the body. The disease itself--as well as just about every form of treatment for it--can take a heavy physical toll. But patients strive hard to do what it takes to eliminate the malignancy so they can hopefully live for many years afterward as a survivor. To that end, it appears that new research has found a safe and natural way to increase the odds of beating cancer…by increasing our intake of vitamin D.

Study Links Anti-Bacterial Agent Triclosan to Breast Cancer Cell Growth

Triclosan is a known endocrine-disruptor, altering the normal metabolism and concentration of hormones in the human body. It’s been a topic of controversy for many years, as it’s found in common household items like soaps and even toothpaste. The latest study indicating potential long-term ill health effects from this compound indicates that triclosan could even lead to the increased growth of breast cancer cells.

Top Tips to Decrease Your Breast Cancer Risk

By Dr. Mercola

Breast cancer is probably one of the most feared diagnosis a woman can get. The mere mention of it conjures up images of death, despair, or at best, disfigurement.

According to breastcancer.org,1 one in eight women will develop invasive breast cancer in her lifetime, and nearly 40,000 women lose their lives to the disease each year.

7 Nasty Effects of BPA – The Plastic Chemical

Bisphenol a (BPA) is the widely used chemical found in many plastics, food can linings, and even on US dollars and receipts. Known as an endocrine-disrupting chemical that mimics the hormone estrogen, BPA has been linked to numerous negative health effects in countless studies. The worst part? While the Food and Drug Administration considered banning the chemical in March of 2012, the ban was denied, and BPA continues to be ubiquitous. So what exactly does mean? It means the entire U.S. is still subjected to the chemical’s negative effects. >

Can You Cut Your Breast Cancer Risk by Skipping Mammograms?

By Dr. Mercola

In the US, women are still urged to get an annual mammogram starting at the age of 40, despite the fact that updated guidelines set forth by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force in 2009 urge women to wait until the age of 50, and to only get bi-annual screening thereafter.

Unfortunately, many women are completely unaware that the science simply does not back up the use of routine mammograms as a means to prevent breast cancer death.

What’s worse, the “new and improved” tomosynthesis mammogram, which provides a three-dimensional (3D) image of the breast,1 is now being hoisted on women across the US as “the answer” to mammography’s failing efficacy rates and pattern of harmful misdiagnosis...

Please, don’t get suckered into further doubling your risk for radiation-induced breast cancer by signing up for annual 3D tomosynthesis. >

Unplug! Too Much Light at Night May Lead to Depression

By Dr. Mercola

When you climb into bed for the night, is your bedroom “littered” with dim light from streetlights, passing traffic, a computer, night-light or television set?

Even if the light is so dim that you can easily sleep through it, light pollution can prompt biological changes that have a very significant, and potentially serious, impact on your physical and mental health.

Obvious examples would be the glow that can be seen from miles outside of a big city, or the absence of stars in the night sky if you live in an urban environment.

More subtle examples of light pollution are the strips of light that come in around your curtains at night, or even the glow from your clock radio.

All of these light sources disrupt the natural rhythms of nature, as like most other creatures, humans need darkness. When this natural rule is violated, the consequences can be steep …

Dim Light at Night May Lead to Depression

A study done with hamsters at Ohio State University Medical Center has found that chronic exposure to dim light at night can cause signs of depression after just a few weeks.1 The study also showed changes in the hamsters’ hippocampus similar to brain changes seen in depressed people. They pointed out that rates of depression have risen along with exposure to artificial light at night:

“Exposure to artificial light at night (LAN) has surged in prevalence during the past 50 years, coinciding with rising rates of depression.”

The link could be due to the production of the hormone melatonin, which is interrupted when you’re exposed to light at night. There are many studies that suggest melatonin levels (and by proxy light exposures) control mood-related symptoms, such as those associated with depression -- especially winter depression (aka, seasonal affective disorder, or SAD).

In a study published by researchers at the Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU), it was found that melatonin relieved SAD.2 The study found insomniacs have a circadian misalignment in which they are “out of phase” with natural sleeping times.

This misalignment can be corrected either by exposure to bright lights (during daylight hours), or by taking a melatonin supplement at a certain time of day. While your body will begin to produce melatonin only after it’s dark outside, the level of melatonin produced is related to the amount of exposure you have had to bright sunshine the previous day; the less bright light exposure the lower your melatonin levels.

Yet another study about melatonin and circadian phase misalignment found a correlation between circadian misalignment and severity of depression symptoms.3

Studies have also linked low melatonin levels to depression in a variety of populations, including multiple sclerosis patients4 and post-menopausal women.5 Clearly, anything that negatively effects melatonin production is likely to have a detrimental effect on your mood. Melatonin’s immediate precursor is the neurotransmitter serotonin, which is a major player in uplifting your mood.

Too Much Light at Night May Also Contribute to Cancer

Normally, your brain starts secreting melatonin around 9 or 10 pm, which makes you sleepy. These regularly occurring secretions thus help regulate your sleep cycle.

The good news is the condition appears to be reversible by simply going back to regular light-dark cycles and minimizing exposure to artificial light at night. But when light receptors in your eyes are triggered, such as by the glow from your television set, they signal your brain to 'stay awake.' To do that, your brain stops secreting melatonin, which is not only a hormone but also a potent antioxidant against cancer.

Melatonin is secreted primarily in your brain and at night it triggers a host of biochemical activities, including a nocturnal reduction in your body's estrogen levels. It’s thought that chronically decreasing your melatonin production at night -- as occurs when you’re exposed to nighttime light – thereby allows your body to be exposed to higher estrogen levels, which increases your risk of developing estrogen-sensitive cancers, such as breast cancer.6 >
