<span style="font-size: 18pt;">1. Every person
has cancer cells in the body. These cancer
cells do not show up in the standard
tests until they have multiplied to a few billion. When doctors tell cancer patients
that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just
means the tests are unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not
reached the detectable size. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-size: 18pt;">2. Cancer cells
occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person's lifetime. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-size: 18pt;">3. When the
person's immune system is strong the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from
multiplying and forming tumors. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-size: 18pt;">4. When a person
has cancer it indicates the person has nutritional deficiencies. These could be
due to genetic, but also to environmental, food and lifestyle factors. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-size: 18pt;">5. To overcome
the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet to eat more adequately and
healthy, 4-5 times/day and by including supplements will strengthen the immune
system. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 18pt;">6. Chemotherapy
involves poisoning the rapidly-growing cancer cells and also destroys
rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone marrow, gastrointestinal tract etc.,
and can cause organ damage, like liver,

<span style="font-size: 18pt;">7. Radiation
while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and damages healthy cells,
tissues and organs. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 18pt;">8. Initial
treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce tumor size. </span><span style="font-size: 18pt;"><b><i>However prolonged
use of chemotherapy and radiation do not result in more tumor destruction.</i></b></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 18pt;">9. When the body
has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy and radiation the immune system is
either compromised or destroyed, hence the person can succumb to various kinds
of infections and complications. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 18pt;">10. Chemotherapy
and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and become resistant and
difficult to destroy. </span><span style="font-size: 24px;">Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread to other sites.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 18pt;">11. An effective
way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells by not feeding it with the
foods it needs to multiply.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<b><span style="font-size: 18pt;">WHAT CANCER CELLS FEED ON: <o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Sugar substitutes
like NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc. are made with Aspartame and it is
harmful. A better natural substitute would be Manuka honey or molasses</span><b><i><span style="font-size: large;">, </span><span style="color: blue;">(</span></i></b><b><i><span style="color: blue;">Personally, </span></i></b><b><i><span style="color: blue;">I'd rather see people use Stevia - Lou)</span> </i></b><span style="font-size: 18pt;">but only in very
small amounts. Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in color. Better alternative is Bragg's aminos or sea
salt. </span></h4>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 18pt;">Milk causes the
body to produce mucus, especially in the gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds
on mucus. By cutting off milk and substituting with unsweetened soy milk </span><b><i><span style="color: blue;">(</span></i></b><b><i><span style="color: blue;">a side note, </span></i></b><b><i><span style="color: blue;">I would rather see people use Almond mike - Lou)</span> <span style="font-size: large;"> </span></i></b><span style="font-size: 18pt;">cancer
cells are being starved.</span></h4>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-size: 18pt;"><b>Cancer cells
thrive in an acid environment. </b>A meat-based diet is acidic and it is best to
eat fish, and a little other meat, like chicken. Meat also contains livestock
antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especially
to people with cancer.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-size: 18pt;">A diet made of
80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains, seeds, nuts and a little fruits help
put the body into an alkaline environment. About 20% can be from cooked food
including beans. Fresh vegetable juices provide live enzymes that are easily
absorbed and reach down to cellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish and
enhance growth of healthy cells. To obtain live enzymes for building healthy
cells try and drink fresh vegetable juice (most vegetables including bean
sprouts) and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroyed
at temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C)..</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-size: 18pt;">Avoid coffee,
tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine Green tea is a better alternative
and has cancer-fighting properties. Water-best to drink purified water, or filtered,
to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap water. Distilled water is acidic, avoid it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-size: 18pt;">12. Meat protein
is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat
remaining in the intestines becomes putrefied and leads to more toxic buildup.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-size: 18pt;">13. Cancer cell
walls have a tough protein covering. By refraining from or eating less meat it
frees more enzymes to attack the protein walls of cancer cells and allows the body's
killer cells to destroy the cancer cells. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

supplements build up the immune system<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 18pt;">EFAs etc.) to
enable the body's own killer cells to destroy cancer cells.. Other supplements
like vitamin E are known to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death, the
body's normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted, or unneeded cells. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 18pt;">A proactive and
positive spirit will help the cancer warrior be a survivor. Anger,
un-forgiveness and bitterness put the body into a stressful and acidic
environment. Learn to have a loving and forgiving spirit. Learn to relax and
enjoy life.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 18pt;">16. Cancer cells
cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment. Exercising daily, and deep
breathing help to get more oxygen down to the cellular level. Oxygen therapy is
another means employed to destroy cancer cells. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 18pt;">Johns Hopkins has
recently sent this out in it's newsletter. </span><span style="font-size: 18pt;">This information is being circulated
at Walter Reed Army Medical Centers well.
Dioxin chemicals cause cancer, especially breast cancer. Dioxins are highly poisonous to the cells of
our bodies. Don't freeze your plastic bottles with water in them as this
releases dioxins from the plastic. Recently, Dr. Edward Fujimoto, Wellness
Program Manager at Castle Hospital, was on a TV program to explain this health
hazard. He talked about dioxins and how bad they are for us. He said that we
should not be heating our food in the microwave using plastic containers. This
especially applies to foods that contain fat. He said that the combination of
fat, high heat, and plastics releases dioxin into the food and ultimately into
the cells of the body. Instead, he recommends using glass, such as Corning
Ware, Pyrex or ceramic containers for heating food. You get the same results,
only without the dioxin. So things like TV dinners, instant ramen and soups,
etc., should be removed from the container and heated in something else. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-size: 18pt;">Paper
isn't bad but you don't know what is in the paper. It's just safer to use
tempered glass, Corning Ware, etc. He reminded us that a while ago some of the
fast food restaurants moved away from the foam containers to paper. The dioxin
problem was one of the reasons for this change.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-size: 18pt;">He also pointed
out that plastic wrap, such as Saran, is just as dangerous when placed over
foods to be cooked in the microwave. As the food is </span><span style="font-size: 24px;">microwaved</span><span style="font-size: 18pt;">, the high heat causes
poisonous toxins to actually melt out of the plastic wrap and drip into the food.
Cover food with a paper towel instead.</span></div>

<b><span style="color: #274e13;">Chronic insomnia can be caused by a number of factors including chronic diseases, medication, alcohol, stress, and shift work. The condition is more common in women and the elderly.If a good night's sleep eludes you, youíre not alone. About 32 million Americans suffer from insomnia, and the numbers are growing as modern life becomes ever more hectic and the population ages. Experts estimate that 50 percent of Americans over the age of 75 have chronic insomnia</span></b></div>
<div class="article_body" style="font-family: Times; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<b><span style="color: #274e13;">Pharmaceutical companies are spending hundreds of millions of dollars to advertise and promote sleeping aids, but Newsmax Health expert Dr. Russell Blaylock says, </span></b></div>
<div class="article_body" style="font-family: Times; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<b><span style="color: #274e13;">The problem with drugs is that they rarely produce restful sleep and often plague users with a number of complications and side effects, including next-day drowsiness, sleepwalking and confusion.</span></b></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #274e13;"><img src="webkit-fake-url://649A2D81-D117-4FA5-965C-DE039B13F09F/image.tiff" /></span></div>
<div class="article_body" style="font-family: Times; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<b><span style="color: #274e13;">Instead of popping a pill, try these tips for a good night's sleep:</span></b></div>
<div class="article_body" style="font-family: Times; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<b><span style="color: #274e13;">Be consistent. Go to bed and get up at the same time, even on weekends. Varying your schedule on weekends will reset your biological clock.</span></b></div>
<div class="article_body" style="font-family: Times; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<b><span style="color: #274e13;">Always go to bed by midnight. Staying up any later will also reset your biological clock.</span></b></div>
<div class="article_body" style="font-family: Times; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<b><span style="color: #274e13;">Keep your room dark. Eliminate even night lights and bright clock dials.</span></b></div>
<div class="article_body" style="font-family: Times; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<b><span style="color: #274e13;">Keep your bedroom cool. Even Ben Franklin advised using a cool pillow.</span></b></div>
<div class="article_body" style="font-family: Times; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<b><span style="color: #274e13;">Wind down before bedtime. Avoid watching television and reading for one hour before bedtime.</span></b></div>
<div class="article_body" style="font-family: Times; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<b><span style="color: #274e13;">Take a natural sleep cocktail. Before bedtime, take 1,000 mg of vitamin C, 120 mg of magnesium citrate, and 1 mg of melatonin to relax you as you drift off to sweet dreams. A just-released study found that even though people taking beta blockers to control their high blood pressure often had problems with insomnia, taking melatonin at night helped them fall asleep sooner and sleep longer than those who took a placebo.</span></b></div>
<div class="article_body" style="font-family: Times; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<b><span style="color: #274e13;">Don't take naps during the day, especially after 3:00 p.m., and limit any naps to less than one hour.</span></b></div>
<div class="article_body" style="font-family: Times; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<b><span style="color: #274e13;">Exercise regularly, but early in the day, and avoid exercising at night. Exercise gives a boost to your metabolism which can keep you awake.</span></b></div>
<div class="article_body" style="font-family: Times; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<b><span style="color: #274e13;">Don't eat large meals close to bedtime, and avoid spicy foods if you're prone to heartburn.</span></b></div>
<div class="article_body" style="font-family: Times; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<b><span style="color: #274e13;">Avoid caffeine and nicotine. Caffeine takes eight hours to be eliminated from the body and smokers can be awakened at night by withdrawal symptoms.</span></b></div>
<div class="article_body" style="font-family: Times; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<b><span style="color: #274e13;">Get comfy. </span></b></div>
<div class="article_body" style="font-family: Times; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<b><span style="color: #274e13;">Choose a mattress and pillow that's comfortable for you.</span></b></div>
<div class="article_body" style="font-family: Times; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<b><span style="color: #274e13;">Drink a soothing cup of tea. Chamomile, valerian root, passionflower and catnip all help calm and relax</span></b></div>
<div class="article_body" style="font-family: Times; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<b><span style="color: #274e13;">Start a nighttime routine. Bedtime rituals, whether a warm bath or listening to soft music, can signal your body that itís time to chill out and relax.</span></b></div>

<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<i><span style="font-size: 1.2em;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Greetings,</span></span></i></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<i style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 1.2em;">I came across this short article and wanted to share it. Sometimes it's easy to get a quick pick me up and it </span>doesn't<span style="font-size: 1.2em;"> even cost a thing. </span></i></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<i><span style="font-size: 1.2em;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So why not give a try and see if this little trick won't work for you too!</span></span></i></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 1.2em;">Go out and make it a great day!</span></span></i></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 1.2em;">All the best,</span></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 1.2em;">Lou & Debbie</span></span></i><i style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 1.2em;"> </span></i></h3>
<h1 style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 1em; margin: 0px; min-height: 1px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: 1.2em;"><br /></span></h1>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 1.2em;">In the Sixties, clinical psychologist Emmett Velten wanted to create a quick way of generating good cheer. What would happen, he thought, if people spoke as if they were happy?</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; min-height: 1px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 1.2em;">To find out, Velten assembled a group of volunteers, split the participants into two groups, and handed each group a stack of cards.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; min-height: 1px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: 1.2em;">For the first group, the top card in the stack explained they were about to see a series of statements and were required to read each one out loud.</span></div>
<div class="clear" style="border: 0px !important; clear: both; float: none !important; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 0px !important; height: 0px !important; line-height: 0 !important; margin: 0px; min-height: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important; width: auto;">
</div>
<div class="thinCenter" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px auto; min-height: 1px; padding: 0px; width: 470px;">
<img alt="Turn that frown into a smile: If you are having a bad day, make a positive statement and your day will instantly lift" class="blkBorder" height="601" pxz:uid="-29a3beb3-1" src="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2012/10/01/article-2211032-0CA2D849000005DC-305_468x601.jpg" style="border: 1px solid black; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" width="468" /><br />
<div class="imageCaption" style="min-height: 1px; padding: 0px;">
Turn that frown into a smile: If you are having a bad day, make a positive statement and your day will instantly lift</div>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; min-height: 1px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: 1.2em;">The next card contained the first of the statements: ‘Today is neither better nor worse than any other day.’ </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; min-height: 1px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: 1.2em;">As instructed, the participants read out the statement. The second statement to be read aloud was: ‘I do feel pretty good today, though.’</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; min-height: 1px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: 1.2em;">The participant moved through all 60 cards, with the statements becoming increasingly positive. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; min-height: 1px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: 1.2em;">Those in the second group were asked to read a series of neutral, factual statements such as, ‘Saturn is sometimes obscured by the Sun and isn’t visible from Earth’, and, ‘The Orient Express travels between Paris and Istanbul’. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; min-height: 1px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: 1.2em;">At the end, Velten asked participants to rate how happy they felt. Those who had said positive statements were in a wonderful mood. But those that had been reflecting on Saturn and the Orient Express flat-lined.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; min-height: 1px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: 1.2em;">Next time you are having a bad day, make a positive statement and your day will instantly lift.</span></div>

<div style="color: #333333;">
<span style="color: #274e13;">The advisory panel recommended banning hydrocodone and oxycodone products (like Vicodin and Percocet) that contain acetaminophen. Vicodin and its generic counterparts contain hydrocodone and acetaminophen. Percocet and its generic formulations contain oxycodone and acetaminophen. </span></div>
<div style="color: #333333;">
<span style="color: #274e13;">Acetaminophen is not uncommon – it is in many over-the-counter drugs, including Tylenol and cold/flu medication. For this reason, taking one of these OTC drugs combined with either Percocet or Vicodin could result in an overdose.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333;">
<span style="color: #274e13;">The FDA panel has recommended lowering the maximum recommended dose of acetaminophen from 1,000 mg per dose to 650 mg. </span></div>
<div style="color: #333333;">
<span style="color: #274e13;">They also recommended lowering the maximum daily dose, which is currently 4 grams (4,000 mg). Although they didn't specify what the maximum daily dose should be lowered to, it would most likely be in the neighborhood of 2,600 mg per day.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333;">
<span style="color: #274e13;">The FDA is not required to take the recommendation of the advisory panel, although they usually do. Since the vote to ban Vicodin and Percocet-type drugs was so close, perhaps they will give it some extra consideration.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333;">
<span style="color: #274e13;">In the past, an FDA advisory panel also recommended removing painkillers Darvon and Darvocet from the market. The drug-maker then voluntarily pulled the drug, due to a potentially deadly link to heart rhythms.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333;">
<span style="color: #274e13;">Stay tuned to see what happens. If you know anyone taking these drugs, you may want to pass along the link to this posting...</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 25px;">What's
the best treatment for osteoarthritis? Many patients are seeking out surgery,
but simply losing weight and wearing the right shoes may offer more of a
benefit, according to the <i>New York Times</i> "Well" blog.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 16.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 19.0pt;">Nearly
27 million U.S. residents currently live with life-limiting osteoarthritis, and
they are "relying more and more heavily on surgery," according to
David Felson, a rheumatologist and epidemiologist at <b>Boston University
School of Medicine</b>. While Felson endorsed the benefits of hip replacement
surgery, he told the <i>Times</i> that knee replacements can be significantly
less helpful. Knee replacement surgery rose 800% among U.S. residents 65 and
older between 1979 and 2002, but up to one-third of patients will never
experience an improvement, according to Felson.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 16.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

So it’s good to know that <b>Flash Frozen Fish</b> <u>is almost as good as fresh</u>. The catch (get it, the catch...) is, it needs to be frozen within 12 hours of coming out of the water. Flash Frozen can actually be healthier than some fresh fish. Most </i><b><i>"Fresh</i></b><i> </i><b><i>Fish"</i></b><i> has been sitting around for way too long. Remember, the fresher the better.<o:p></o:p></i></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><i><b>2.</b> If you are buying fresh fish, you need to know two things. <b>Who your buying from</b> and </i><b><i>“When did you get this?”</i></b><i> The answer you’re looking for is </i><b><i>“today”.</i></b><i> Plan on cooking it the same day you bought it otherwise, why</i><i> spend extra money for</i><i> fresh fish?</i></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><i><b>3.</b> Any fish you buy should pass the </i><b><i>Sight and Sniff Test</i></b><i>. Make sure that it looks shinny and has a nice luster, it shouldn’t look dull or damaged. If is smells fishy, it’s old and it's going to taste, just like it smells! It should smell like where it came from, the sea.<o:p></o:p></i></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><i><b>4.</b> You don’t need anything added; make sure it's not loaded with salt or artificial colors. Check the label on packaged fish and look for added brine. <o:p></o:p></i></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><i><b>5.</b> Yes we like fried fish, but it </i><i>completely </i><i>ruins the nutritional value. Loading it down with things like butter or cream isn’t much better. There are lots of wonderful recipes out there to bake, broil, and grill it. A quick internet search will turn up literally thousands, so experiment and find a new favorite recipe.</i></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><i><br />
</i></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><i>Now that it’s grilling time, here is one of my favorite ways to make a quick simple meal. Cut a lemon in thin slices. Lay them on a piece of foil, then put your fish on top and add some spices, lemon juice and a little olive oil. Seal and throw it on the grill for a quick tasty and nutritious meal.<o:p></o:p></i></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><i>All the best,<o:p></o:p></i></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><i>Lou & Debbie</i><o:p></o:p></div><!--EndFragment--> <br />

There have been many reports of the dangers of taking birth control pills and now the FDA is looking at a link between Blood Clots and taking the pill.

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 20.0pt; margin-bottom: 16.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">WASHINGTON -(Dow Jones)- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said Tuesday it is conducting a safety review of certain types of birth-control pills to see if they increase the risk of blood clots beyond that of other pills.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 20.0pt; margin-bottom: 16.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">The agency said the review is focusing on products that contain drospirenone, which is used in pills including Yaz and Yasmin, which are marketed by Bayer AG (BAYRY, BAYN.XE). Drospirenone is a type of female sex hormone called a progestin.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 20.0pt; margin-bottom: 16.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Most birth-control pills contain two types of hormones, estrogen and progestin. All types of pills increase the risk of blood clots and product labels warn of such risk. The FDA said, however, two recently published studies reported a greater risk of blood clots for women taking birth-control pills containing drospirenone compared with the risk for women taking birth-control pills containing another progestin known as levonorgestrel.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 20.0pt; margin-bottom: 16.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">The FDA said some previous studies have reported that the risk of blood clots for women who use birth-control pills containing drospirenone is higher than that for women who use birth-control pills containing levonorgestrel, while other studies haven't found such a risk. While the risk of blood clots is low among women who take birth-control pills, the FDA said it is higher than the risk among women who aren't taking the pills.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 20.0pt; margin-bottom: 16.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Blood clots form inside a vein and are known as deep vein thrombosis, or DVT. The clots usually form in the lower leg or thigh, but can break loose and travel to other areas of the body such as the lungs, where they are called a pulmonary embolism, or PE. The FDA said the symptoms of a DVT include the new onset of persistent leg pain, while those of a PE include severe chest pain and sudden shortness of breath.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 20.0pt; margin-bottom: 16.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">The FDA said it is "currently evaluating the conflicting results from these studies and will look at all currently available information to fully assess the risks and benefits of drospirenone-containing birth control pills." An FDA-commissioned study exploring the association of blood clots with hormonal contraception is in the process of being finalized and reviewed. The study involves more than 800,000 U.S. women and results are expected later this summer.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 20.0pt; margin-bottom: 16.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Bayer said its analysis of the available scientific evidence shows that the risk of developing a blood clot associated with taking pills containing drospirenone "is comparable" to that of other birth-control pills studied. The company said it "will continue to work closely with the FDA on this matter." Sales of Bayer's Yaz product family have been declining, which the company blames on generic competition in the U.S. Yaz-related sales fell nearly 16% to EUR242 million ($348 million) in the first quarter after dropping 13% in 2010.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 20.0pt; margin-bottom: 16.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Last week, the European Medicines Agency said the risk of developing blood clots for oral contraceptives containing drospirenone was higher than that of pills containing levonorgestrel but said the risk for any type of birth-control pill was small. EMA said the product labels of birth-control pills containing drospirenone will be updated.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 20.0pt; margin-bottom: 16.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">The most recent studies were published earlier this year in the British Medical Journal.

Most people assume that age causes diminished energy supply, but the latest research is shedding new light on lifestyle practices that ultimately lead to fatigue. </span></div><div style="font: 14.0px 'Helvetica Neue'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Although we reach for the coffee or teacup hoping to boost our energy, studies show that we are actually inducing a state of stress. Caffeine drives the adrenal glands to produce stress hormones that can remain in the blood stream up to 18 hours after consumption. These hormones produce the “fight or flight” response nature designed to help save our lives when every bit of energy was required to survive an impending disaster such as an attack by a foe. In today’s world, where we are more often sitting at a desk, driving in our car, or eating a meal, caffeine can put us into a chronic state of stress with no way for our body to burn off the extra fuel and hormones. Caffeine-induced stress can produce mood swings and insomnia, increase muscle tension, impair digestion and nutrition, restrict blood circulation to the brain, elevate blood pressure, create blood sugar swings, and accelerate heart rate. Yet the lines at the local coffee bar are still stretching out the door with people desperate for their next caffeine fix. </span></div><div style="font: 14.0px 'Helvetica Neue'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Caffeine addiction is rampant in our society. Caffeine is the only unregulated drug in our food supply. There are no requirements for the quantity of caffeine to be labeled on foods or soft drinks. Most people don't know that their coffee flavored ice cream or yogurt may be supplying a hefty dose of caffeine just when they want to relax at the end of a hectic day. Mothers don't suspect that the root beer and orange soda they are giving their children may also contain caffeine. Students studying late at night don't realize that caffeine restricts the oxygen flow to their brain up to 30% and impairs memory retention. Under the guise of alertness, caffeine has fooled them into thinking they will be better prepared for their exams in the morning. </span></div><div style="font: 14.0px 'Helvetica Neue'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">While the adrenals are busy pumping out cortisol to send energy to the muscles and divert energy from the digestive and immune systems, there is a very important hormone they aren't making: DHEA. It turns out that the adrenals have to reduce their production of the most important anti-aging hormone your body requires for youth and longevity in order to produce the stress hormones that ultimately weaken your immune system and impair your health. DHEA is the mother hormone for all the sex hormones such as estrogen and testosterone as well as it increases your brain's serotonin levels naturally. So if you've been feeling down in the dumps and your lover no longer interests you, check out how much caffeine you are consuming daily in that coffee mug of yours!</span></div><div style="font: 14.0px 'Helvetica Neue'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">The caffeine industry created a nice deception to make you think you're not drinking that much caffeine. It turns out that a cup of coffee is not your normal 8 oz cup, but a mere 5 oz cup. So when you read that a couple of cups of coffee a day shouldn't be any problem to your health, think of one 10 oz mug because that is what they are actually talking about. When you add to that the statistics for caffeine content in a cup of coffee brewed at popular coffee bars, you'll find out that you can expect up to 300 mg in that 10 oz cup, not the 150 mg you might find in a cup of coffee from your own coffee maker. </span></div><div style="font: 14.0px 'Helvetica Neue'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Decaf coffee drinkers who think they have witched to a healthier choice will be surprised to find out that a Stanford University study showed that </span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">decaf coffee raises the cholesterol higher and faster than regular coffee.</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> A cup of decaf coffee still contains around 7 mg of caffeine. Plus, the beans chosen for decaf coffee have a higher acidic content than regular coffee to compensate for flavor loss during the decaffeination process. Since antacids are the top selling over-the-counter drug in America, it is evident that many people suffer from the acidity of coffee! </span></div><div style="font: 14.0px 'Helvetica Neue'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">With all this bad news about our favorite legal drug habit, you may be wondering what is my alternative? Stephen Cherniske M.S., the author of Caffeine Blues (Warner 1998) recommends switching to </span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">caffeine-free</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> </span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">herbal coffee</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">. Herbal coffee, made from carob, chicory, barley, dates, figs and almonds, can be brewed right in your same coffee maker. It contains significant amounts of potassium to give you a natural energy lift. Potassium is added to sports recovery beverages because it helps your muscles and brain recover from fatigue. Herbal coffee is also alkaline for your system unlike coffee and tea which are highly acidic. Plus, chicory has high levels of inulin that is food for your digestive flora. Inulin will help establish a healthy colony of bifidus bacteria in the colon where they create B vitamins, help you absorb your minerals like calcium and iron, and enhance your immune system. If you depend on caffeine to drive your elimination, bifidus bacteria will help you become regular without dependency on stimulants. </span></div><div style="font: 14.0px 'Helvetica Neue'; line-height: 14.4px; margin: 5.0px 0.0px 5.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Kicking the Caffeine Habit</span></b></div><div style="font: 14.0px 'Helvetica Neue'; line-height: 14.4px; margin: 5.0px 0.0px 5.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Caffeine withdrawal headaches can be incapacitating. Often they are accompanied by fatigue as your body starts to recuperate from its former caffeine-driven pace. But it is not as hard as you may think to ease yourself off of caffeine if you use a two week weaning program. By slowly reducing the amount of caffeine you consume daily, you can avoid those withdrawal headaches and help your adrenal glands recover. You may be surprised to find in 2 to 3 months that you feel better than you've felt since you were a child and once again, you have an abundance of energy and enthusiasm for life! </span></div><div style="font: 14.0px 'Helvetica Neue'; line-height: 14.4px; margin: 5.0px 0.0px 5.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">It may interest you to know why you get a headache when you skip your morning cup. Caffeine acts a as powerful vasoconstrictor in the brain. That is, it constricts blood vessels in the brain and decreases circulation and oxygen supply by up to 30%! When caffeine is not present, the sudden increased circulation causes headaches. While this keeps millions of people addicted to the caffeine habit, the good news is that you can avoid this pitfall by slowly weaning yourself off caffeine over a two to three week period. </span></div><div style="font: 14.0px 'Helvetica Neue'; line-height: 14.4px; margin: 5.0px 0.0px 5.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Start by mixing your normal coffee 3/4 to 1/4 caffeine-free herbal coffee. Gradually reduce the percentage of your coffee over a two-three week period until you are drinking 100% herbal coffee.

</div><div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">Mass vaccination campaigns of the 1950s and 1960s are now suspected in thousands of deaths per year via a cancer-causing virus contained in the early polio vaccines. But this doesn't mean you'll get cancer for sure. Keep reading and I'll explain. . </div><div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 18.0px;"><br />
</div><div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">Researchers discovered this deadly vaccine tragedy in 1994 — when Dr. Michele Carbone found the SV40 virus in 60% of lung cancers (mesotheliomas) studied, 33% of osteosarcoma bone cancers, 40% of other bone cancers…</div><div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 18.0px;"><br />

</div><div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">Known as SV40, this virus came from dead monkeys whose kidney cells were used to culture polio vaccines. Over 98 million people in the U.S., plus more in other countries, were exposed to the contaminated vaccine.</div><div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 18.0px;"><br />

</div><div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">Polio virus has been around forever — yet paralysis-causing epidemics have only existed since the late 1800s. In fact, 95% of polio cases occur without symptoms. Most victims just get a mild fever. But in a tiny fraction of 1% of victims, it penetrated the blood-brain barrier to cause paralysis or death… which naturally aroused much fear.</div><div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 18.0px;"><br />
</div><div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">At the height of the polio epidemic in the early 1950s, the first polio vaccines were cultured in monkey tissue. The vaccine was rushed to market and made mandatory because of government panic and public hysteria about the disease.</div><div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 18.0px;"><br />
</div><div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">From the beginning there were cries of "foul", accusations of poor manufacturing controls, and questionable efficacy.1</div><div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 18.0px;"><br />
</div><div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">Then in the late '50s the monkey tissue was found to be contaminated with a virus that could be linked to cancer and other serious diseases… after it was too late and millions had received it.</div><div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 18.0px;"><br />
</div><div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">Bernice Eddy, PhD, National Institutes of Health (NIH), discovered that a staggeringly high 70% of hamsters injected with kidney cell cultures containing SV virus died without apparent cause. She later discovered that tumors could be passed easily from one animal to another over a long time period while remaining cancerous.2</div><div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 18.0px;"><br />

</div><div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">Eddy went public with this news — which enraged her boss at the NIH to no small degree. He tried everything he could to marginalize and discredit her — viewing her discovery as a direct threat to his career and a public health policy he staunchly supported.3</div><div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 18.0px;"><br />
</div><div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">In June 1961, a letter from a colleague to the surgeon general detailed how Eddy's work was muzzled and repressed.4</div><div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 18.0px;"><br />
</div><div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">Meanwhile by 1960, the Salk vaccine had been administered by injection to half the American public.</div><div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 18.0px;"><br />
</div><div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">But there was a rival vaccine — the oral vaccine developed by Sabin. By mid-1960, sixty million Russians had received Sabin's oral vaccine (OPV) in field trials. It was pronounced a resounding success.</div><div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 18.0px;"><br />
</div><div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">A group of Merck scientists led by Dr. Maurice Hilleman eventually proved both the Salk and Sabin forms were contaminated with SV40.</div><div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 18.0px;"><br />
</div><div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">But the government purposefully kept this under wraps, warning neither doctors nor the public… while the vaccines continued to be given for years.</div><div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 18.0px;"><br />
</div><div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">Eventually word leaked out… on July 25, 1961 the New York Times ran a story on page 26, quoting directly from the government's official press release.5</div><div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 18.0px;"><br />
</div><div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">One news outlet opted against silence… On August 6th, 1961 the National Enquirer carried the year's most complete SV40 story, in an article entitled, "The Great Polio Vaccine Cancer Cover-Up…" running three pages long. Despite its tabloid status, the article contained amazing scientific quotes and an accurate recounting of Eddy's hamster experiments.6</div><div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 18.0px;"><br />
</div><div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">The SV40 was so virulent, it became a popular tool of cancer researchers awed by its ability to transform healthy animal cells into tumor cells in test tubes. This tiny but mighty life form could completely disrupt cells, cause them to lose control of themselves, and to reproduce wildly.</div><div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 18.0px;"><br />
</div><div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">Finally in 1994 Dr. Michele Carbone autopsied dead research animals to make a shocking discovery… SV40 was linked tothe rare malignant mesothelioma — as well as to brain cancer and osteosarcoma (bone cancer).</div><div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 18.0px;"><br />
</div><div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">Carbone's research found that SV40 causes mesothelial cells to become malignant 1,000 times faster than fibroblasts.7</div><div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 18.0px;"><br />
</div><div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">Between 1997 and 2003, 25 new published studies showed presence of SV40 in mesotheliomas… 16 others found SV40 in brain, bone, and other cancers.8</div><div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 18.0px;"><br />

</div><div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">Not to sound like a conspiracy theorist here — but consider…</div><div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 18.0px;"><br />
</div><div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">When research went public in 1999, NCI declared there's "no evidence of human cancer linked to SV40". But other researchers contend that SV40 had already shown up in a wide variety of tumors — the highest rates in those receiving tainted OPV. Maybe that's not proof it's the cause but it certainly qualifies as a statistical "link"! And, in the science of identifying causes of cancer, correlations like this have long been considered evidence of probable cause.</div><div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">The government and NIH have denied requests for grants to study SV40. Why?</div><div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">Government denies a cancer link because of "those who are too young to have received the vaccine in the 1950s" — ignoring the potential of transmission via "shedding" (passing the virus to non-vaccinated people)… something the vaccine was specifically designed to do!</div><div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">According to NIH, "the NCI is continuing to evaluate the possible link between SV40 infection and human cancers."19</div><div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 18.0px;"><br />
</div><div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">But some in the scientific community question whether this "continuing evaluation" is being performed with total scientific integrity.</div><div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">One article by an attorney, published in a peer reviewed scientific journal, accuses NCI of deliberately compromising a study that would have shown a link between SV40 and mesothelioma.20</div><div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 18.0px;"><br />

</div><div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">SV40 is one of the most widely studied viruses in all of microbiology</div><div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 18.0px;"><br />
</div><div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">For forty years, SV40 has been widely studied and well understood. Over 3,400 scientific articles name SV40 in the title… over 15,000 articles mention SV40.</div><div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 18.0px;"><br />
</div><div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">SV40 was routinely used to create human cancers in the lab, to test cancer therapies.21</div><div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 18.0px;"><br />
</div><div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">Moreover, it is now known how this virus causes cancer on a molecular level. SV40 oncogenesis is mediated by the viral large tumor antigen (T-ag) — which inactivates the tumor suppressor proteins p53 and pRb.22</div><div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 18.0px;"><br />

</div><div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">There is hope. Nearly every Baby Boomer received these vaccines forty or fifty years ago, and sadly, we can't turn back the clock for a do-over.</div><div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 18.0px;"><br />
</div><div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">However, even Carbone, a leading SV40 expert, says, "… you need many different carcinogens, because different carcinogens do different things. Cancer is a multifactorial process."</div><div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 18.0px;"><br />
</div><div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">No one factor can create cancer all by itself. Instead, your cells require numerous "hits" (insults) from various carcinogens.</div><div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 18.0px;"><br />
</div><div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">But Carbone does consider SV40 one of the most potent human carcinogens.</div><div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 18.0px;"><br />
</div><div style="font: 16.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">He also goes on to state that cellular changes in your body (unlike a test tube) are influenced by the status of your immune system.
