"Children with autism or other brain defects, tumors or leukemia, and young men with testicular cancer, lower sperm count and testosterone are increasing everywhere.

"Such detrimental practices are also associated with increases in testicular cancer in young men as well.

Adequate free-radical protection demands good nutrition in terms of antioxidant minerals, vitamins, and plant flavonoids. One of the most harmful things a young man can do to his future children is to expose his sperm to the damaging effects of illicit drugs." - Russell L.

"According to some researchers, environmental estrogens may contribute to testicular cancer, urinary tract disorders, and low sperm count. In men, a high level of estrogen slows down the production of testosterone.19 Exposure to lead, mercury, cadmium, and other heavy metals also inhibits testosterone production.20 Men's hormone levels can be adversely affected by certain lifestyle choices. Smoking, in particular, may be a factor in reduced production of testosterone." - Herbert Ross, DC with Keri Brenner, L.Ac., Alternative Medicine Magazine's Definitive Guide to Sleep Disorders: 7 Smart Ways to Help You Get a Good Night's Rest (Get the book.)

Q Most people are unfamiliar with head and neck cancer, yet it is the fifth most common form of cancer. Patients with head and neck cancer suffer a high mortality rate." - Phyllis A.
