MGM Supplement: Guard Your Body

Optimal nutrition can significantly reduce the risk of cancer and many of us don’t eat the way we should on a daily basis. That’s why the PROGRAM (below) makes good sense.

SHAKLEE NUTRITION BEST-SELLERS SYSTEM (the following nutrients are in the daily Vitalizer strips & Shaklee’s Soy Protein)

Vita-Lea - Because most of us do not get all the nutrients we need from diet alone. A well balanced multivitamin/multimineral supplement is nutrition insurance for what we don’t get from our diet.

Energizing Soy Protein - It has been shown to lower the risk of breast and prostate cancer - AND - it boosts energy levels and helps prevent osteoporosis.

B-Complex - Adequate intake of B vitamins may decrease the risk of cervical cancer -AND - most of us don’t get all the B vitamins we need from our diet.
Sustained Release Vita-C - Because Vitamin C can help prevent the formation of nitrosamines and dangerous free radicals that can cause cancer AND-many of us do not get enough vitamin C from our diet.

Vita-E Plus - Because both vitamin E and selenium are natural antioxidants which help protect us from some of the cancer causing oxidations that occur in our bodies -AND- most of us don’t get enough of these essential nutrients from our diet.

CarotoMax - CarotoMax contains the essential phytonutrients found in those fresh fruits and vegetable that we are not eating on a regular basis - AND - the phytonutrients in CarotoMax have been shown to significantly reduce the risk of cancer, heart disease, and eye disease.

Optiflora – Friendly bacteria reduce the risk of colon cancer, strengthen our immune system, and produce substances that lower serum cholesterol levels- AND - most of us don’t have enough of the "friendly" bacteria in our intestines

EPA - Studies have shown that replacing the fats in the typical American diet with healthier fats such as EPA can reduce cancer risk - AND – most of us don’t get enough cold water fish in our diet.

CorEnergy – Most of us have too much stress in our lives – AND – we need the increased energy that CorEnergy provides.

Are you consuming 3-5 servings of fresh vegetables and 6-11 servings of whole grains each day? YES NO …If not, you may wish to consider the added insurance of Shaklee’s Fiber Plan products and B Complex AND you would benefit from the phytonutrients found in CarotoMax.

Do you eat cold-pressed vegetable oils, raw seeds and nuts, and whole grain products on a daily basis? YES NO …If not, you’re probably not getting the vitamin E you need.

Do you eat one serving of "cold water" fish (mackerel, cod, salmon, sardines, or anchovies) at least every other day? YES NO …If not, then Shaklee’s EPA can provide the essential fatty acids you’re lacking in your diet

MGM Supplements: Hinder prostate cancer development

1. POMEGRANATE: If you're going to have a martini, at least make it a pomegranate one. This fall fruit has higher antioxidant activity than red wine and green tea, which may be why a number of studies show it may prevent skin cancer and kill breast and prostate cancer cells. It also helps:

Fight Alzheimer's disease: Researchers at Loma Linda University found that mice who drank pomegranate juice experienced 50 percent less brain degeneration than animals that consumed only sugar water. The pomegranate drinkers also did better in mazes and tests as they aged.

Guard your arteries: A group of diabetics who drank about 2 ounces of pomegranate juice a day for 3 months kept their bodies from absorbing bad cholesterol into their immune system cells (a major contributing factor to hardened arteries), discovered Israeli researchers.

Green tea polyphenols thwart prostate cancer development at multiple levels


PHILADELPHIA ? The polyphenols present in green tea help prevent the spread of prostate cancer by targeting molecular pathways that shut down the proliferation and spread of tumor cells, as well as inhibiting the growth of tumor nurturing blood vessels, according to research published in the December 1 issue of Cancer Research.
A team of researchers from the University of Wisconsin, Madison, Wis., and Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio, documented the role of green tea polyphenols (GTP) in modulating the insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1)-driven molecular pathway in prostate tumor cells in a mouse model for human prostate cancer.

"Consumption of GTP led to reduced levels of IGF-1," said Hasan Mukhtar, Ph.D., Department of Dermatology at the University of Wisconsin, the senior author of the paper.

"GTP also led to increased levels of one of the binding proteins for IGF-1, the insulin growth factor binding protein-3. These observations bear significance in light of studies that indicate increased levels of IGF-1 are associated with increased risk of several cancers, such as prostate, breast, lung and colon."

GTP modulation of cell growth via the IGF-1 axis coincides with limited production or phosphorylation of key cell survival proteins, including PI3K, Akt and Erk1/2, the research indicated. The PI3K molecular pathway in cells, which includes Akt and Erk1/2, works to promote cell survival, rather than programmed cell death, also known as apoptosis.

GTP also caused reduced expression of proteins known to be associated with the metastatic spread of cancer cells. GTP inhibited the levels of urokinase plasminogen activator as well as matrix metalloproteinases 2 and 9, cellular molecules linked to the metastasis.

The green tea polyphenols contributed to minimizing tumor development by governing the amount of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the serum of the prostate cancer mouse model. The reduction of VEGF may result from GTP-induced suppression of IGF-1 levels. VEGF functions to recruit and develop new blood vessels that carry nutrients to developing tumors. By reducing the amount of VEGF, GTP works to minimize nutrients flowing to and supporting tumor growth.

Mukhtar's colleagues contributing to the study included Vaqar Mustafa Adhami, Imtiaz Ahmad Siddiqui, and Nihal Ahmad from the University of Wisconsin; and Sanjay Gupta from Case Western Reserve University.
