Product Ingredients
Proprietary blend of amino acids known to be neurotransmitter precursors were dispersed into a lozenge base. |

My aim is to introduce 2-3 new health or green living products each week, along with detailed product reviews as often as we can get them done.
We're also working on new videos, cartoons and reference guides that you'll see released in 2007. We're staying busy! But you'll probably see a lot less news and commentary on Big Pharma and the FDA throughout 2007. It's just not worth spending the time and energy talking about what's broken when I could be introducing you to more things that really work!
Stay tuned to NewsTarget for more news, views and information in the days ahead. |

Kgper week for 15 weeks, coadministered with DEN), the development rate for liver cancer was approximately 14 percent, compared to 100 percent in animals given DEN only. In rats given ginseng curatively, i.e., after development of liver cancer nodules (15 g-Kg-1 per week for eight weeks, 20 weeks after DEN treatment), hepatoma nodules were smaller in ginseng-treated animals, with better structural preservation of hepatic tissue, than in animals given DEN alone. The average life span of the gin-seng/DEN treated animal group was 73 days, compared to 42 days for DEN treated animals. |

REPPED: I wanted to publish a personal thank you to all the readers and supporters who have read and responded to this week's articles on health freedom, the FDA, the covert attacks on NewsTarget and natural medicine in general. You are a sharp group of thoughtful, skeptical readers, and the comments you've posted are almost universally right on the money. I wish I had time to personally answer them all.
But I don't. So instead, I'm posting some follow up clarifications and comments in the hope of answering some of the more common questions we've been receiving here at NewsTarget. |
| We have not had any more attacks on the NewsTarget website since Wednesday evening of this week, and even that wasn't a full-on DDoS attack. So far, we've weathered everything the hackers have thrown at us, but I have no doubt that when they get sufficiently motivated (and funded), they will eventually be able to cause website outages that take NewsTarget off line temporarily. It's really only a matter of time. But once the storm passes, we'll be back online (probably within hours), reporting on the situation. |

I had a girl who I had adjusted once come in this week and say, "I slept ten hours last night! I haven't done that in years!" And she said, "I'm having a great day!" I asked, "When was the last time you had a great day?" She replied that it was about three years ago, which is really unusual. She was young, so I think maybe that made it easier, but I had two of them who slept well this week. One slept 15 hours the first week she was here. Normally, doing that takes about three weeks. |

The classes, one hour in length, were offered two times per week.
After 12 weeks, both groups showed significant improvements on scores measuring pain and physical function. At 24 weeks, researchers found that the improvements had been sustained, with the greatest improvement measured in the hydrotherapy group.
"Hydrotherapy classes appeared to be more acceptable (higher attendance), appeared to provide greater relief of joint pain, and resulted in larger improvements in objective measurements of physical performance," wrote Fransen. |

A week earlier, I had completed the exam and given my blood. A week later I repeated the PSA, which once again was high, followed a few
21 weeks later by several tense days at the Mayo Clinic. The biopsy was negative. Finally I exhaled. God only knows the damage to my health from all the stress brought on by this series of tests.
"See, I told you there was nothing to worry about," said my internist. "Id strongly urge you to have a PSA test every six months," she concluded.
Which I've done. My PSA is still high.
"I strongly recommend another biopsy," intones my urologist at each appointment. |
| When I demurred, she followed with the punch line: "especially at your age."

It's to get the colors changed on her fingers and toes for five bucks a pop. One week she went to the nail salon every day.
Dj was born 10 weeks early in February 1997. "He was so early, I was afraid to attach myself to him," Olivia recalled. "It was really hard, we wouldn't make plans, we didn't think he was going to make it." At six weeks, when he was three pounds ten ounces, DJ was finally allowed to go home, but he needed surgery to correct a birth defect of the penis called hypospadias, in order to bring the opening of the urethra in line with the end of the penis. |

| After another week, they still were out of control, in the 400-500 range. So, I again attempted to increase the dose.
Then the problems got worse. My blood sugars went wildly out of control...sometimes in excess of 600, sometimes hypo events occurred without any forewarning.
I attempted to control the blood sugars by injecting more times a day. After about 3 weeks on the 4-5 injections a day (with the animal insulin, I need only 2), I began to have sensations of hypo events (i.e., rapid heartbeat, cold clammy sweating, dizziness) at unexpected times. |

One of the "active" women did not complete the study. Each week the participants completed a detailed symptom-rating sheet.
By the end of the six-week study, a significant difference in symptom rating occurred in nineteen of the twenty-three symptoms, when comparing the two groups. The average improvement over all of the symptoms was 3.5 times greater (+350%) in the active than the placebo group. The top seven most affected symptoms were improved fifty-five times more (5,500%) in the active group than in the placebo group. |

The bottom line to all of this, though, is that every week, it seems like we see a new announcement about some toxic chemical found in personal care products that is related to either cancer or neurological disorders. And yet week after week these products are being sold by retailers and consumed in large quantities by the American people who remain oblivious to the real damage these products are causing to their health.
Once again, the solution here is to protect yourself by learning the truth about these products and switching to products made with safe ingredients. |

Kim also taught Tim and his wife a twenty-minute, twice-daily energy medicine protocol, which they followed diligently, both dur ing the week she was there, and for the subsequent two weeks. The protocol included a basic energy balancing routine, and specific inter ventions for the energy pathways that govern the immune system and that feed energy to the stomach, kidneys, and bladder. |

With ten training sessions a week she left herself only half a day a week to rest and relax. Her diet was also closely controlled—no sweets, chocolate or soft drinks. Although Rebecca is a chronic asthmatic she deliberately played down her condition and resorted to medication only when necessary. Her coach Michael Piper said, Asthma is the reason for her introduction to swimming at the age of four and it has never interfered with her training. She is addicted to success. |

Begin a gradual strength-training program to build muscle and stamina
Just twenty minutes three times a week can be enough to stop the otherwise inevitable muscle loss of ten ounces a year that affects most of us over forty. It can prevent the "skinny-fat syndrome," that all-too-familiar phenomenon of weighing the same at age sixty as at twenty, but having twice as much fat. Your muscle has been replaced by fat, with all the related dangerous consequences, but you still can fit into the same clothes.
Try anything that builds strength. |
| Make dates with your friends at least once a week, even if just for tea, or make late-night phone calls.
• Invite friends over for a meal. You don't have to be a cook to do this. Make it a potluck dinner. Just provide a nice atmosphere for friends to share food and conversation.
• Join a support group—it doesn't even matter what kind. If you feel as though you don't have enough people to talk to, a support group can give you an instant circle of listeners.
• Volunteer in your community. Volunteering is not only a wonderful gift of time and energy, it helps you feel good about yourself. |
| Soon enough, although he was eating more fat, Fred was losing weight—a couple of pounds a week. Best of all, he liked his new diet.
But there was no way, he said, he could become an athlete. "No need," we said. "Just walk." So Fred started a two-mile-a-day walking program, improving his muscle mass and burning calories in a manner he enjoyed. It had never occurred to him that walking was considered exercise. |
| When you have finished with all those (and for some of us, that can take years), start writing about the most stressful events of your current week.
Consider therapy
There are many times when we have told patients that they might want to consider some form of psychological therapy. We don't do this as a dark threat but as a way of guiding people toward another form of health support.
Psychotherapy has proven effective in treating and preventing many different illnesses, from heart disease to cancer to chronic fatigue. |
| As reported in the British Medical Journal (December 20, 1997), a ten-year study of 918 men between forty-five and fifty-nine years old showed that overall mortality was 50 percent lower in men who had orgasms at least twice a week or more, as compared with men who had orgasms less often or not at all. There also seemed to be a "dose response": That is, the lowest mortality rate was in the men with the most frequent sex, and the highest mortality occurred in the men with the least frequent sex.
The same is probably true for women. |
| Since Joey was already running half marathons and working out six days a week, he worked on the fat part of the equation. He wouldn't eat anything with more than a gram of fat in it. He stayed on his diet to the letter and went back to his doctor's office three months later full of confidence. But when the results came back Joey felt as though he'd been sucker punched. His cholesterol reading had jumped to 266.
His doctor said it was time for medications, but Joey begged for one last chance, thinking he might have been taking in small amounts of fats from prepared foods. |

Even if you only exercise three days a week, you need to supplement every day of the week. And I'm not talking about just supplementing with protein. This is where a lot of people who engage in exercise go wrong. They think protein is the only nutrient they need to supplement.
Even though proteins important to supplement if you are not already eating a high protein diet, it is far more important to supplement trace minerals, macro minerals like magnesium, zinc and calcium; various vitamins including all the B vitamins; plus vitamins C, D and K. |

The grassroots efforts of citizens and advocates in the health freedom movement are making a huge impact on this legislative effort. We've already managed to delay the voting on the bill from early this week to next week (Monday looks likely), and as Byron Richards reports here, the Senate voted 63-28 to accept the Dorgan amendment which allows prescription drugs to be imported from other countries -- a move that would break Big Pharma's monopoly over the current U.S. drug market and cost the industry billions of dollars in racketeering profits. |
