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.
