Cancer Coach Tip of the Week

Selenium...do you have a cold that just won't go away, Selenium is your answer.

Do you have prostate, cancer or colon cancer and are looking for some nutritional help while you are under treatment, Selenium is just one of your answers for improved health.

Click our blog post title to read the National Institute of Health's fact sheet on Selenium. Here's one interesting excerpt...

"Selenium is also available in 'high selenium yeasts', which may contain as much as 1,000 to 2,000 micrograms of selenium per gram. Most of the selenium in these yeasts is in the form of selenomethionine. This form of selenium was used in the large scale cancer prevention trial in 1983, which demonstrated that taking a daily supplement containing 200 micrograms of selenium per day could lower the risk of developing prostate, lung, and colorectal cancer. However, some yeasts may contain inorganic forms of selenium, which are not utilized as well as selenomethionine. "

This article lets you know what doses are best and the foods that contain Selenium naturally if you would like to increase your organic uptake versus taking a vitamin supplement.

Any way you look at it, Selenium is a helpful mineral when taken in a small additional dose. Remember too much of a good thing may not be right for you, so start in the small doses recommended.

Testicular Cancer is In The News

We found this article very interesting and you may want to click our title and have a quick look. The BBC has provided some interesting information on a number of cancers. One that we have found in the news recently and has been a hotly searched topic on the Web is Testicular Cancer.

What we found interesting about this article is in the quote below:

"...When testicular cancer is present, blood tests can reveal the presence of certain chemicals called "tumour markers" which are not around at such high levels normally. "

We have long advocated the specialized testing for tumor markers and early treatment for an improved prognosis. In fact there are several new blood tests being done in Europe that can diagnosis cancers and their spread at a very early stage.

We have found some of the most innovative and cutting edge treatments are not being done in the United States, but rather in Germany. Visit our Web site at www.BurtonGoldberg.com for more in-depth information on this an many other topics.

Diagnosing Prostate Cancer

"Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer afflicting American men. In its most recent estimates, the American Cancer Society projected that 232,000 American men would be diagnosed with the disease and 30,000 would die from it in 2005."

Diagnosing prostate cancer in some men can be difficult and weight is definitely a factor in both being able to clearly diagnosis it early and for mortality rate.

Early diagnosis is very important with prostate cancer as with all cancers. Blood tests can now determine effectively if cancer has spread before symptoms appear. If you have prostate cancer don't become a statistic, find out how your cancer can be treated effectively and quickly.

Magnet Therapy for Cancer

We just picked up this article on BBC News Online about how magnet therapy has been shown by American researchers to not have therapeutic benefit.

..."Sadly some advertisers even claim that magnets are effective for cancer treatment and for increasing longevity; not surprisingly, these claims are unsupported by data."

"The team reviewed about 10 earlier studies into the effectiveness of magnetic therapy. "Sadly some advertisers even claim that magnets are effective for cancer treatment and for increasing longevity; not surprisingly, these claims are unsupported by data."

"The team reviewed about 10 earlier studies into the effectiveness of magnetic therapy."

The article states that the research was found not to be beneficial in several blind studies.

What do you think? Has magnet therapy helped you?

The First Real Hope For Ovarian Cancer

In today's Washington Post, we read an interesting article about the first real new hope for Ovarian Cancer. This new treatment is now being the protocol that is being recommended to all doctors. The treatment consists of taking a catheter and supplying chemotherapy medications into the abdomen. The treatment has had such marked improvement in patients that it is adding an extra 18 months to the life expectancy of seriously ill Ovarian Cancer patients.

This development is very interesting as we have showcased this treatment and several others in our DVD "Cancer Conquest, the best of alternative and conventional medicines". This treatment and others have been used with great success in the Leonardis Clinics in Germany for some time. There are many other cancers that are being treated successfully with this specialized chemotherapy delivery option that now appears to be embraced by the mainstream conventional medical community for Ovarian Cancer in the United States.

If you want to know what other treatments are being used with success for cancer patients that have not made it into the news yet, then you will really want to watch our FREE movie preview at www.BurtonGoldberg.com/cancer-authority.html.

You may even want to buy our full length DVD after watching the preview for more in-depth information as some of the previously considered "alternative therapies" that we showcase are now being considered "conventional therapies" as with this Ovarian Cancer treatment.

Diets Are Back In The News

Diets are back in the news today. The Washington Post just published an article in the paper today about how a low fat diet does not bring the health benefits to women that it was once thought to bring. In fact, the article states that a low fat diet does not even help to bring about long-term reduction in weight and that weight reduction appears to be a factor of lowering carbohydrate intake.

If you click our title, you can read our full article about how low carbohydrate diets can bring long-term health benefits. The Atkins diet craze seems to have faded somewhat, but the medical benefits to a low carbohydrate diet are becoming more apparent to main stream America and the health and medical industries.

We advocate a balanced diet approach that is low in carbohydrates for improved health and long-term weight reduction benefits.
