Aspirin for Cancer
- Roger Mason
Do you believe that aspirin fights colon, prostate and pancreatic cancer?
Well, neither do I, but the people at Life Extension magazine obviously do. Not
only aspirin, but toxic ibuprofen. The Mayo Clinic claims that men over the age
of 60 who poison themselves with aspirin and ibuprofen reduce their risks of
prostate cancer by two-thirds. And the more aspirin postmenopausal women gulped
down the less pancreatic cancer they got. You can believe that if you want to.
Doesn't it seem a little more reasonable that eating a healthy, low fat diet is
going to keep you from getting cancer or any disease? Or that taking powerful
and proven supplements like CoQ10, betasitosterol, beta glucan, and getting all
the minerals you need is going to help keep you cancer-free? And that keeping
your DHEA, testosterone, melatonin, pregnenolone and progesterone at youthful
levels is going to keep your immunity high?
Why waste any more time on the "benefits" of aspirin?
Folks, I'm tired of picking on Life Extension, as it's like shooting fish in the
proverbial barrel. They are very influential with a high circulation and could
be a very powerful voice for natural health. Emphasis on the word "could".
They're still selling policosanol at $47 a bottle that 1) costs them about $2 to
make, 2) claiming it is a two month supply when one month is more realistic, and
3) the only "studies" on this are from some front organization in Cuba, not real
clinics. This is just octacosanol from decades back in new advertising clothes.
If octacosanol didn't lower cholesterol 20 years ago, why should it now? Beware
of anyone who tells you policosanol is proven to lower cholesterol.
There is a revealing article on thyroid to their credit, but they don't talk
about saliva testing and don't seem to understand that Synthroid is simply
bioidentical L-thyroxine (T4). There's a good article on vitamin K and bone
health. A fine abstract on the benefits of melatonin for memory. In the back
there are always good general abstracts to read and medical reports.
They sell you weak 30 mg of CoQ10 knowing that you need 100 mg. The cost of L-carnosine
500 mg capsules X 60 is $66 when it costs them about $12 and they have it made
directly. Their famous Life Extension Mix- "The Most Complete Multi-Vitamin
Supplement in History"- is overpriced to death, and you have to take 9 tablets
or 14(!) capsules a day. If it is the "most complete" formula in history why is
it completely lacking in the vital minerals boron, silicon, iron and vanadium?
Boron is really deficient in our soils and in our foods and calcium cannot be
absorbed without it. They still sell lycopene, saw palmetto and Pygeum for your
prostate although they don't work. They still sell chondroitin for your
arthritis although that doesn't work either.
There is a whole article on irritable bowel syndrome, which may affect 22
million Americans, mostly women. The suggested "cure" is to simply take
peppermint oil rather than to make real changes in your diet, take a variety of
proven supplements, and improve your lifestyle. Not surprisingly, Life Extension
just so happens to sell a peppermint oil supplement for only $19.95. Finally,
after all these years they woke up and started to offer a real progesterone
cream with 1400 mg of real USP progesterone. The only problem is that they want
$26.95 for it.
There is an article on dairy whey protein by a bozo named Will Brink. Whey is a
waste product from cheese making and is loaded with allergenic lactose. In fact,
this is the source of commercial lactose. Whey is claimed to increase muscle
mass and improve memory. Good luck; the lactose in whey will ruin your health
and Americans eat twice the protein they need anyway which causes various health
problems. Bozo Will has previously written on the "benefits" of whey. Not
surprisingly, Life Extension just so happens to sell a kilogram of whey protein
for the bargain price of $38.
This is a CATALOG posing as a magazine with a $3.95 price tag on it. I thought
catalogs were supposed to be free.
