Growing Old - Not so Fast…
May 29, 2008
Ever since the beginning of time, humans have flirted with the notion of living forever - or, at least, for a long, long time. The legendary ‘Fountain of Youth’ comes to mind when I hear about anti-aging breakthroughs… “Super vitamins and super supplements that defy time.” So what is anti-aging research all about? Does their fountain hold water? I decided to investigate anti-aging, I inundated myself with the published anti-aging research reports and data, and I plowed through the claims and the bold promises.

Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma Prevention
May 17, 2008
The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition just released a report that shows that flavonoids help prevent non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Given that I have survived two battles with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma… I was obviously interested to learn how flavonoids might help me avoid a third battle with NHL. You see, my oncologist tells me that “it’s not a question of ‘if’ the cancer will return… it’s a question of when.” In the following article I will share my observations with you about the new NHL prevention report and I’ll share with you what, I believe, has contributed to my personal survival.

Boost your Multivitamin
May 15, 2008
We all know the benefits of multivitamins. Taking multivitamins is the cost-efficient way of supplementing your diet with vitamins, minerals and important nutrients. But did you know that most multivitamins fall short of giving us everything we need to establish and maintain good nutritional health.

Nutrient Packs
May 8, 2008
I have been traveling for business and pleasure for almost 25 years and for most of that time I’ve been building my little ’supplement kits’ - so I could take my vitamins and supplements with me while I was on the road. Before each trip I would sit down and fill little zip-lock baggies with my capsules and tablets. My kits would include multivitamins, CoQ10, Omega-3, antioxidants, Resveratrol and a few other odds and ends. Before each trip I’d line up all of my supplement bottles and I would meticulously fill baggies with the right combination of my daily supplements. Read more

You need vitamin B12 supplements!
May 1, 2008
In my last article I wrote about vitamin B12 deficiency. It served as the catalyst for a conversation that I had last night with a friend of mine. Unfortunately for my friend, he had no idea that he was opening himself up to one of my half hour ‘rants’. I didn’t quite get it out of my system so I thought that I’d ’share’… Read moreNo tags for this post.
