Estriol Reduces Inflammation and Nerve Degeneration of Multiple Sclerosis

The scientific case is building that estriol, for women, should be a primary treatment for MS. However, the mechanisms of action of estriol in reducing MS problems indicate that estriol can help preserve nerve health for women in general, suggesting a primary anti-aging strategy for women over the age of 50.

Berries for Brain Protection

Blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, etc. – America is a berry rich country. These wonder foods are well known for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties due for the most part to the substances that give them color, polyphenols, or more specifically anthocyanins. A new array of emerging gene science is demonstrating that the protective effects of these nutrients to your brain go far beyond their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and are intimately involved with the genes that regulate the natural defense systems in your brain.

Fisetin for Neuro-Protection

Fisetin is a unique polyphenol flavonoid that has demonstrated a high level of neuro-protection along with improvement of memory. A standardized extract of fisetin is now undergoing extensive scientific studies by the Salk Institute for Biological Studies to prove its value for general brain health. A patent has already been issued, entitled "Methods of Using Flavonoids to Enhance Memory." It appears that fisetin is another useful nutrient tool in the preservation of cognitive well being.

Cell Phone Frenzy:  Cancer Risk and Wimpy Semen

The World Health Organization set off a new cell phone alarm button around the world by concluding after a gathering of scientists that cell phones are possible carcinogens. A few weeks earlier Austrian and Canadian researchers linked cell phone use to poor sperm quality and risk for infertility – a study that hasn’t received the WHO-generated cancer buzz, but is potentially far more important.
