In 1997, the foundation announced that SAMe "promises to be the most potent, multipurpose, anti-aging, anti-disease therapy we have ever introduced." Powerful words. Has the prediction held up?

"In a world without surgery, we assume there would be some considerable loss of life, or loss of life extension, or increased morbidity. Most of us know someone whose life was saved by a surgeon, anecdotal evidence to be sure, but data which cannot be ignored. And what of those, perhaps ones dear to us, who have received an organ transplant which improved the quality and quantity of their lives? What about emergency surgery? Were a loved one battered in an automobile wreck, we would not question the need for immediate surgery. Such surgery is the subject of the following chapter." - Gerald E. Markle and Frances B.

"For some interesting studies on sleep and other natural remedies, go to the life extension Foundation (LEF) online at www.lef.org. This group is manned with many medical doctors who research natural supplements and disease. They have many studies and commentary on a wide variety of disorders. LEF wrote an interesting article on sleep and obesity. Sleep and insulin interact between leptin, which tells the brain there's no need for food, and ghrelin, which tells the brain it's time to eat. According to researchers, these two hormones start to misfire with reduced sleep." - Heather Caruso, Your Drug-Free Guide to Digestive Health (Get the book.)

"Xi Zhao-Wilson told Life Extension: "There has been a great deal of attention focused on resveratrol in the past few years, following a study showing that resveratrol activates molecular pathways involved in life-span extension, now demonstrated in yeast, worms, flies, fish, and mice, and which possibly bear a relationship to mechanisms underlying caloric restriction."8 The tremendous amount of scientific evidence of the effect of caloric restriction on upgrading our gene expression supports the link of caloric restriction and longevity." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

That's smarter medicine and where Crestor may be beneficial. As long as the patient can tolerate the drug, then it's worth the risk.

To us, too low LDL is a double-edged sword." - Stephen Sinatra, M.D. and James C., M.D. Roberts, Reverse Heart Disease Now: Stop Deadly Cardiovascular Plaque Before It's Too Late (Get the book.)

"The May 2003 edition of life extension magazine discusses AGEs, referring to a new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Eating food cooked at high temperatures was proven to cause the formation of AGEs, which accelerate aging. AGEs also stimulate the body to produce chronic inflammation, which leads to devastating, even lethal, effects directly involved with these diseases: diabetes, cancer, atherosclerosis, congestive heart failure, aortic valve stenosis, Alzheimer's and kidney impairment." - Susan E.

"The life extension Foundation calls it "serious medicine against liver disease," and I agree. The liver contains a high amount of SAMe, and one of the body's most important antioxidants—glutathione—is synthesized from it. Glutathione is absolutely central to keeping the liver healthy and helping it to do its many jobs, including detoxification. SAMe is seriously depleted in liver disease and has been shown in research to improve liver-function tests. And remember methylation (see page 309)? SAMe's outstanding properties as a methylating agent help keep liver membranes fluid." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The Most Effective Natural Cures on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth about What Treatments Work and Why (Get the book.)

A study group of 930 patients found that those who had cancerous polyps removed and took 1200 mgs of calcium per day had 18% less risk of hyperplastic polyps and a 35% reduction of cancerous lesions. This calcium protective effect is most pronounced in those with a high fibre diet. Take a 2:1 ratio of calcium to magnesium. Typical daily dosage would be 800 to 1200 mgs of calcium and 400 to 600 mgs of magnesium." - Heather Caruso, Your Drug-Free Guide to Digestive Health (Get the book.)

After 12 weeks of supplementation with HUFAs, researchers found major improvements in ADHD-related symptoms in children with specific learning difficulties." - Dr David W Tanton, Ph.D., Antidepressants, Antipsychotics, And Stimulants - Dangerous Drugs on Trial (Get the book.) "Another important issue pointed out in the life extension article is: None of the patients who participated in the Prozac studies were suffering from severe depression. While some of this type of thing might occur in a large study, what the Breggins show is that juggling the data, and "cookin' the books" was the norm for the Prozac studies. One can only conclude that the real clinical trials for Prozac are being done on the American public -without its knowledge. Then in his book Prozac Backlash, Dr." - Dr David W Tanton, Ph.D., Antidepressants, Antipsychotics, And Stimulants - Dangerous Drugs on Trial (Get the book.)

We did this knowing that we would not only risk our livelihood, but our personalfreedom as well." - Mike Adams, Natural Health Solutions (Get the book.)
