The Key to Longevity

The Key to Longevity The molecular mechanisms involved in how dietary restriction slows cancer and extends lifespan have been largely unknown - until now. A new study conducted by scientists at the Buck Institute for Age Research helps scientists better understand the molecular mechanisms involved in how dietary restriction slows cancer and extends lifespan. The study states: "Dietary restriction is one of the most robust methods for extending lifespan and delaying age-related disease among various species."

Eye Care

Hello To All QN Lab’s Health Activists! Although natural eye care has been around for thousands of years - the ancient Egyptians, Chinese and Romans had methods for improving sight - most people still consider it something new. A great deal of research that has been done over the last 60-70 years that demonstrates, time and time again, that visual skills and sight can be improved. But things are changing. The National Eye Institute recommends nutritional supplements as the only effective way to stabilize Macular Degeneration. When you improve your vision - even a little bit - you're an Eyesight Miracle: You're doing something that most everyone thinks you can't. Your vision is getting better and most people think the only way vision can change is when it gets worse. Some people you tell will be excited by your miracle, others inspired to get it for themselves, and, unfortunately, others won't care. Regardless of their reaction, I believe you must tell other people. You don't need to try to change their mind or force them to do what you're doing, but the mere act of speaking about vision in a positive, hopeful way is one small, but very important, step towards changing the cultural mind. If there were so many people walking around with legs that didn't work, or arms that didn't work, we'd all stop and take notice, and insist that something be done! Yet, more than half of the people in the United States need glasses to see, and the other half think it's perfectly normal. Poor vision is still the problem that nobody sees. I am 64 and I do not need glasses to read. I do take Dr. Marshall’s Eye Complex everyday. I just had an eye exam and my vision has actually improved since my last exam. Eye Complex is a great product for making sure your eyes stay healthy and your vision stays strong. Have a Healthy, Blessed Day, Walt

Vitamin D Research

Vitamin D levels are deficient in many ill patients, new research shows. "Vitamin D deficiency is likely to be common in seriously ill patients," said study author Dr. Paul Lee, an endocrinologist and research fellow at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research in Sydney, Australia. "In our study, 45 percent of ill patients were vitamin D-deficient. Results of the study were published as a letter in the April 30 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine. Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that the body manufactures after exposure to sunlight, according to the U.S. government's Office of Dietary Supplements (ODS). Few foods naturally contain vitamin D. Those that do include fatty fish, such as salmon and tuna, cheese, egg yolks and some mushrooms. Vitamin D deficiency is increasingly being linked to adverse health outcomes. Lee said that vitamin D is involved in controlling blood sugar levels, calcium levels, heart function, gastrointestinal health, defending against infection and more. Dr. Kirit Tolia, chief of endocrinology at Providence Hospital in Southfield, Mich., said "If you go into illness with a significant vitamin D deficiency, it makes whatever the underlying cause of the hospitalization worse," he said. For example, if someone is being treated for sepsis -- a serious infection -- if their vitamin D levels are low, it makes it harder for them to fight the infection, he explained. Tolia added that he wasn't surprised by the findings, because he sees a lot of vitamin D deficiency, but that he was "alarmed at the severity of the deficiency and the prevalence of it."

New Study

A study in Archives of Internal Medicine has found, after following nearly 162,000 people for 8 years, that taking a typical synthetic multi-vitamin provides no protection against heart disease or cancer.  Lead study author, Dr. Marian Neuhouser stated "Fruits and vegetables contain a matrix of compounds, including carotenoids, isoflavones, and fiber, that may work together to prevent disease.  Vitamins and minerals alone do not provide protection."  This is why Dr. Marshall only uses living source, complete plants and herbs for his Super Food Nutritionals, rather than isolated vitamins and minerals.
