Several of the world's top-level scientists will gather in Washington D.C. this April for the 2005 Garlic Symposium, entitled, "Significance of Garlic and its Constituents in Cancer and Cardiovascular Disease." This conference will provide current scientific information about the effect of garlic and its constituents on health and performance. Emphasis will be placed on aged garlic extract and its actions in diseased states, specifically heart disease and cancer.

The symposium will be held April 9-11, 2005 at the Georgetown University Conference Center. It is being organized by Dr. Richard Rivlin, Dr. Matthew Budoff and Dr. Harunobu Amagase, and supported by the Strang Cancer Prevention Center, affiliated with Cornell University Weill Medical College, and Harbor-UCLA Medical Center. Co-sponsored by the University of California at Irvine, the American Society for Nutritional Sciences and American Botanical Council, the symposium will focus on several significant garlic-related studies.

Out of the 36 scientific presentations, highlights include:

• Preventive and Therapeutic Effects of Garlic Against Cancer, chaired by David Heber, UCLA;

• Clinical Intervention Trial and pre-clinical substantiation on Cancer using Garlic, presented by National Cancer Institute scientists, Mitchell Gail and John Milner;

• Inhibition of Coronary Arterial Plaque Accumulation by Garlic, presented by Matthew Budoff, Harbor-UCLA Medical Center;

• Influence of Garlic on Endothelial Dysfunction in Hyperhomocystenemia, presented by Norbert Weiss, University of Munich in Germany;

• Coumadine-Garlic Interaction in the Deep Vein Thrombosis Patients, presented by Tim Macan, Harbor-UCLA Medical Center; and

• Drug-Interaction with Garlic through P450 Metabolism, presented by David Greenblatt, Tufts University.

Aged garlic extract is popularly sold under the brand Kyolic®. Almost 400 scientific studies have been completed on aged garlic extract, done in major universities. These studies have focused on various aspects of garlic's health benefits including the reduction of multiple cardiovascular risk factors such as cholesterol, high blood pressure, homocysteine and blood circulation. In addition, significant other aged garlic extract research has concentrated on immune enhancement, improving memory (prevention of Alzheimer's), protecting liver function and anti-cancer effects.

Media note: For details on this symposium or other studies involving Kyolic® Aged Garlic Extract, or to schedule an interview, please contact Jay Levy at 800-421-2998, xl 14.

He serves as the founding editor of NaturalNews.com and the lab science director of an internationally accredited (ISO 17025) analytical laboratory known as CWC Labs. There, he was awarded a Certificate of Excellence for achieving extremely high accuracy in the analysis of toxic elements in unknown water samples using ICP-MS instrumentation. Adams is also highly proficient in running liquid chromatography, ion chromatography and mass spectrometry time-of-flight analytical instrumentation.

Adams is a person of color whose ancestors include Africans and Native American Indians. He's also of Native American heritage, which he credits as inspiring his "Health Ranger" passion for protecting life and nature against the destruction caused by chemicals, heavy metals and other forms of pollution.

Adams is the founder and publisher of the open source science journal Natural Science Journal, the author of numerous peer-reviewed science papers published by the journal, and the author of the world's first book that published ICP-MS heavy metals analysis results for foods, dietary supplements, pet food, spices and fast food. The book is entitled Food Forensics and is published by BenBella Books.

In his laboratory research, Adams has made numerous food safety breakthroughs such as revealing rice protein products imported from Asia to be contaminated with toxic heavy metals like lead, cadmium and tungsten. Adams was the first food science researcher to document high levels of tungsten in superfoods. He also discovered over 11 ppm lead in imported mangosteen powder, and led an industry-wide voluntary agreement to limit heavy metals in rice protein products.

In addition to his lab work, Adams is also the (non-paid) executive director of the non-profit Consumer Wellness Center (CWC), an organization that redirects 100% of its donations receipts to grant programs that teach children and women how to grow their own food or vastly improve their nutrition. Through the non-profit CWC, Adams also launched Nutrition Rescue, a program that donates essential vitamins to people in need. Click here to see some of the CWC success stories.

With a background in science and software technology, Adams is the original founder of the email newsletter technology company known as Arial Software. Using his technical experience combined with his love for natural health, Adams developed and deployed the content management system currently driving NaturalNews.com. He also engineered the high-level statistical algorithms that power SCIENCE.naturalnews.com, a massive research resource featuring over 10 million scientific studies.

Adams is well known for his incredibly popular consumer activism video blowing the lid on fake blueberries used throughout the food supply. He has also exposed "strange fibers" found in Chicken McNuggets, fake academic credentials of so-called health "gurus," dangerous "detox" products imported as battery acid and sold for oral consumption, fake acai berry scams, the California raw milk raids, the vaccine research fraud revealed by industry whistleblowers and many other topics.

Adams has also helped defend the rights of home gardeners and protect the medical freedom rights of parents. Adams is widely recognized to have made a remarkable global impact on issues like GMOs, vaccines, nutrition therapies, human consciousness.

In addition to his activism, Adams is an accomplished musician who has released over a dozen popular songs covering a variety of activism topics.
