Flawed SELECT Study Attacks Vitamin EWednesday, October 29, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) The National Cancer Institute’s (NCI) SELECT study (Selenium and Vitamin E Cancer Prevention Trial) for prostate cancer in men was halted this week after initial data analysis showed that selenium and vitamin E, taken alone or together for an average of five years, did not prevent prostate cancer...Well I have a question for the nutritionally-challenged people at NCI; why did you design a study that couldn’t possibly succeed and then waste taxpayer money on it? Chlorella Lowers Blood Sugar & CholesterolTuesday, October 28, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) A new human study on chlorella shows that it is a powerful tool in helping your cholesterol and blood sugar metabolism. Participants consumed 8,000 mg of chlorella per day (in two doses/4,000 mg at a time).

Theanine – A Nutrient for RelaxationFriday, October 24, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Theanine is the active component of green tea responsible not only for its taste but also for its relaxing effects. Brain cells are known to generate electrical pulses from their cell surfaces called brain waves. It was demonstrated in humans that 40 minutes after taking theanine (50 mg to 200 mg) relaxing alpha waves were generated in various brain regions, an effect that may last up to 12 hours. Boron – Big Pharma Gets InterestedThursday, October 23, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Boron is a trace mineral vital to human health, especially for your bones.

This was the hot topic of a recent European health conference. More Than a Gut FeelingWednesday, October 22, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) A new study shows more clear evidence of the inseparable link between digestive balance of foreign cells and human health. In this study it was proven that specific bacteria provoke the human immune system into a pro-inflammatory condition, adversely influencing intestinal immunity and predisposing to inflammatory bowel disease. Startling Evidence of Brain Decay at Age 39Tuesday, October 21, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Deterioration of myelin sheathing causes a “leakage” of electrical energy out the sides of nerves, resulting in disrupted function. A news study in healthy men clearly shows that loss of myelin sheathing begins at age 39, a slow decay of nerve function which also relates to memory. The initial sign is simply a loss of reflex speed. Blueberries Protect the Brain from Toxic StressTuesday, October 21, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) A new study shows that blueberries are highly protective against brain damage induced by toxic exposure.

A significant body of new science shows that this view is not only wrong, but that such treatments are likely to increase the cause of esophageal cancer, the very problem they are supposed to be stopping! That's right, esophageal cancer rates in the U.S. are skyrocketing, due to the treatments that are supposed to be preventing them! Glutamine for Digestive Health & Leaky GutWednesday, October 15, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) A recent scientific workshop on amino acids focused on the vital need for adequate glutamine.

Flu Vaccine Fails to Protect ChildrenTuesday, October 14, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) The flu vaccine in the past two years was not effective in reducing hospitalizations or doctor’s visits in children under 5.
