TaylorMade Burner Driver - Fitness equipment Classifieds

Free Classifieds Health & Fitness Fitness Equipment

Good morning everyone! Let's start with the TaylorMade Burner SuperFast.

The superfast 2.0 driver is truly revolutionary and a great purchase for any mid/high handicap players looking for something new. The Burner SuperFast 2.0 Driver isn't a one trick pony either. TaylorMade calls these their "lightest driver and fairway woods ever". The driver weighs 284 grams. I'll be curious to try this one. The Burner is TaylorMade?s entry into the high MOI market, it?s bullet-like shape almost looks normal in today?s market. This low center of gravity helps get the ball in the air and further down the middle. Bringing back the ?Burner? name was a great way to give this club a boost. TaylorMade?s SuperFast technology delivers and helps make this one of the longest drivers on the market. Golfers that have difficulty keeping shorter drivers straight won?t benefit from the extra shaft length. The Burner really holds up well on miss hits and is one of the more forgiving drivers on the market. The Burner comes in at a great price and is right in line with the ?value? offerings from other companies. Most golfers that we talk to agree that the Burner won?t win any awards for feel but it?s tough to argue with long and straight drives.

The previous Burner drivers have been pretty good. It?s rare to see a driver with a ?traditional shape? these days. TaylorMade Golf has created two different lines targeted at two different markets. The unique shape of the 460CC Burner helps draw the center of gravity deeper and further back. The discount superfast 2.0 driver features an extremely high MOI, allowing for maximum performance on miss hits. TaylorMade has equipped the Burner with a Fujikura RE*AX shaft which is becoming a staple in the TaylorMade line. The Burner was designed as more of a value offering but we see players of all levels trying it out. If we were to get our customers to rate the drivers they hit strictly on shot length, the Burner would rank near the top with most. To put things in perspective most drivers on the market are between 44?-45?. What it lacks in feel, it makes up in distance. The Burner seems to be overshadowed by the numerous R7 drivers but it?s a more than adequate ?value? compliment.

The taylormade superlaunch irons feature a similar story. Combine all these with a thin steel face and you've got what appears to be a pretty solid iron. Most comments are fairly positive yet the mark from our ?Rate This Club? poll was a bit lower than we expected. The performance of TaylorMade?s Burner irons has made it the best-selling iron model in the United States, and has helped thousands of golfers elevate their games to an entirely new level. Burner SuperLaunch irons are engineered to deliver tremendous forgiveness from end-to-end (heel to the toe) and top to bottom (topline to leading edge). In fact, it?s the most forgiving iron ever from TaylorMade. When you rest the taylormade superlaunch irons behind the ball, you?ll notice the substantial topline, which contributes to the exceptional stability and forgiveness. This shape, when combined with the wide sole and deep cavity, help make Burner SuperLaunch long-irons so much easier to launch at lower swing speeds.

Science, Education and Feynman ? Her mind's eye is?

I said, ?That?s how it looks to me, when I see you teaching the kids ?science? here in Brazil.? (Big blast, right?)

Then I held up the elementary physics textbook they were using. ?There are no experimental results mentioned anywhere in this book, except in one place where there is a ball, rolling down an inclined plane, in which it says how far the ball got after one second, two seconds, three seconds, and so on. The numbers have ?errors? in them?that is, if you look at them, you think you?re looking at experimental results, because the numbers are a little above, or a little below, the theoretical values. The book even talks about having to correct the experimental errors?very fine. The trouble is, when you calculate the value of the acceleration constant from these values, you get the right answer. But a ball rolling down an inclined plane, if it is actually done, has an inertia to get it to turn, and will, if you do the experiment, produce five-sevenths of the right answer, because of the extra energy needed to go into the rotation of the ball. Therefore this single example of experimental ?results? is obtained from a fake experiment. Nobody had rolled such a ball, or they would never have gotten those results!?.

?.and I started to read: ?Triboluminescence. Triboluminescence is the light emitted when crystals are crushed..

I said, ?And there, have you got science? No! You have only told what a word means in terms of other words. You haven?t told anything about nature-what crystals produce light when you crush them, why they produce light. Did you see any student go home and try it? He can?t.

?But if, instead, you were to write, ?When you take a lump of sugar and crush it with a pair of pliers in the dark, you can see a bluish flash. Some other crystals do that too. Nobody knows why. The phenomenon is called ?triboluminescence.?? Then someone will go home and try it. Then there?s an experience of nature.?

-Richard P Feynman ?Surely Your?re Joking, Mr. Feynman!? Adventures of a Curious Character

Can you relate to that? because I can!

?I am hoping I am not alone in feeling so! oopsie!! hehe

IBM manufactures light-based 'nanophotonic' chips to let the terabytes flow

IBM's taken a large step toward computer chips that use photons instead of electrons by manufacturing the first 90nm silicon-based optical processing modules. It did so using the CMOS nanophotonics technology we first saw back in 2010, creating tranceivers capable of 25Gbps transfer speeds. By multiplexing a large number of those streams to a single fibre, "terrabytes of data" per second could flow between distant computer systems," according to IBM. The 90 nanometer light circuits should allow data-hungry servers or supercomputers to scale up rapidly in speed "for the next decade, and at the desired low cost," according to the researchers. It's now primed for commercial development, meaning we could see an end to bottlenecks in systems "a few centimeters or a few kilometers" apart from each other. Check the PR for the detailed technical skinny.

Gunman killed after rampage on Indian reservation

By NBC News staff

Tulare County Sheriff's Office

Authorities say Hector Celaya, 31, was fatally wounded in a shootout with detectives.

A man shot four people dead, including a child, on a Central California Indian reservation and wounded two other children before being killed in a shootout with detectives after a car chase, authorities said.

The violence started Saturday night on the Tule River Indian Reservation in Porterville, Calif., the Tulare County Sheriff?s Office said.

Deputies responding to a 911 call found a man and a woman shot inside a trailer and a male juvenile suffering from an apparent gunshot wound. Irene Celaya, 60, and Francisco Moreno, 61, were confirmed dead. Six-year-old Andrew Celaya was transported to a hospital.

---

At a shed on the same property, deputies found the body of another man, Bernard Franco (AKA Moreno), 53, who died of an apparent gunshot wound.

The person who called police said the suspect fled the scene in a green Jeep Cherokee.

Authorities identified the suspect as Hector Celaya, 31, and said he had taken his two daughters, 8-year-old Alyssa Celaya and 5-year-old Linea Celaya. Deputies said the suspect had allegedly shot the children.

A deputy spotted the suspect?s vehicle and tried to stop it but the driver kept going, the sheriff?s office said. Linea received non-life threatening injuries. Alyssa died from her gunshot wounds.

The suspect eventually stopped on the side of a road and a shootout ensued, authorities said. The suspect was shot and was transported to the hospital. He later died, the sheriff?s office said.

All victims were related to the suspect and members of the Tule Indian Reservation. No further details were released.

The sheriff?s office did not say what may have precipitated the shootings.

Yoga for Health and Fitness | Blog Big Time

Even if walking tops the lists of exercises, Yoga is a comprehensive and traditional way to keep your mind and body in a healthy state and shape. We should be really proud as Indians as our aesthetic Hindu spiritual practice has now taken over the generations of different countries all across the world. In yoga, the significant part includes basic & deep meditation techniques, controlled breathing and practice of specific bodily postures ? all focused on relaxation, holistic healing and conventional methods of being fit. Before taking the modern turn and spreading across the world as a popular form of overall well-being, yoga has had a history that defines itself uniquely as an important discipline followed since several centuries in India.

It is not only for the youth, but also for people in the age range of teenage, elderly and old. Specific ailments have relevant breath control techniques and postures that are aimed towards slow and steady healing for the physically and psychologically troubled. When your days in life are down, yoga seems to be more effective than therapies, counselling and medication. All the postures in yoga make the muscles and movements of the body completely flexible and build strength and stamina if practiced regularly. Belief is the most important factor when you decide to take up yoga, because it is a transcendent science that is up-close-personal.

Your body parts have specific needs and hence, you have to use this science according to the instructions of a professional guide to avoid any type of issues. It gives a whole mind-body balance and even with simple ?Asanas?, you can develop and improve your fitness levels. People who are inspired to live in perfect health have to try yoga and experience its benefits like controlling & harnessing the mind and body. Yoga is the most powerful healing system, so the saying, ?Healthy mind, healthy body? is something that holds good here. Some of the advantages of practicing yoga for a short time itself may surprise you. However, it is important to have your goal in mind and divert your efforts in yoga towards achieving it. It is imperative to understand that regular practice is essential to turn the table of your life around in your favour?and this requires a lot of perseverance, time and determination. So go ahead, since it is more than how much you value it initially. Just unroll your yoga mat and go on every day through a journey that unfolds your inner self. Some of the helpful benefits of Yoga?are interesting to know:

1. Teaches you all about discipline and that feel-good factor keeps you going
2. Makes your body completely flexible and avoids sprains and aches
3. Yoga helps relaxation of mind and body, and reduces the levels of stress to bring in a sense of peace and calmness
4. It gives you physical and mental strength with various strength-building postures
5. You tend to become more health conscious and will begin to watch your diet with healthier food and mindful eating
6. Experience new and higher levels of confidence all by yourself. You can feel the difference when yoga gives you the confidence to achieve many of your goals
7. A new perspective in life expands your thought patterns liberally and you can feel kindness, compassion, understand yourself & others. All of these make you a deeper individual relating to your inner spiritual self through the yoga philosophy
8. The ill wills, petty disagreements, competition, jealousy and other negative emotions go under the root as you have liberated yourself with an open minded, broad and profoundly humane mind set
9. More and more positivity hits you with every single day when yoga becomes a vital part of your life. You can build and maintain better relationships and relate with everyone in a much more meaningful way
10. A mix of compassion, confidence, positivity, philosophical understanding, relating to spirituality, developing the thought of oneness, higher awareness of life and relationships ? all of it will eventually make you a real human, capable of building a strong network of confidents, friends and family

With yoga, you can reap unlimited benefits and grow from within with eloquent perceptions in life, which is the most valuable and worthiest thing that you can treasure eternally.

Lawyer says Goldman failed speech software "geniuses"

BOSTON (Reuters) - Goldman Sachs bankers failed to raise red flags about Lernout & Hauspie's accounting irregularities more than a decade ago, costing speech recognition software pioneers at Dragon Systems nearly all of their life's work and about $600 million, a lawyer told a jury on Monday in federal court.

"They were relying on Goldman to take care of them and whether or not they should be worried about these questions," plaintiffs' lawyer Alan Cotler said in his opening statement.

He kicked off what is expected to be a two-month courtroom battle in U.S. District Court in Boston.

The trial pits Janet and James Baker, a suburban Boston husband-and-wife team that launched Dragon from the living room of their home with $30,000, against Goldman Sachs, the iconic Wall Street bank whose reputation has been tarnished in more recent years on allegations it has treated some clients shabbily.

In the case brought by the Bakers, Goldman Sachs Group Inc denies civil claims that include gross negligence and breach of fiduciary duty. Opening statements from Goldman's legal team could come later on Monday or early Tuesday when the trial resumes.

In 2000, just months after Belgium-based Lernout & Hauspie acquired Dragon for $580 million in an all-stock deal, the company collapsed in an accounting scandal that sent it reeling into bankruptcy.

The Bakers owned 51 percent of Dragon, but only sold a few million dollars worth of their stock because of restrictions, Cotler told a jury. He added that the couple later received a $70 million settlement from a group of companies that advised Lernout & Hauspie in the transaction with Dragon.

The Bakers and two other early Dragon employees are seeking at least several hundred million dollars in damages.

In 1999, Dragon Systems hired Goldman as its financial adviser. The company, started in 1982 in West Newton, Massachusetts, was struggling and Lernout & Hauspie emerged as a buyer when another suitor decided not to pursue a deal, according to Goldman's defense in the case.

Cotler said a team of four Goldman bankers, led by Richard Wayner, gave favorable and positive advice about Lernout & Hauspie in the weeks before the deal closed. Goldman was about to earn $5 million for its work, court papers show.

Goldman's team, however, had concerns about L&H's exponential revenue growth in Asia. Cotler said Goldman did not even take one of most preliminary steps in vetting L&H's revenue claims -- contacting L&H customers in Asia.

In fact, the Goldman team internally was not satisfied with the answers it was getting from L&H on deal-critical red flag issues, particularly the company's Asia revenue growth, Cotler said.

Still, during a conference call with Goldman's Lernout & Hauspie expert in London, further positive assurances were given to Dragon's leadership, Cotler said.

Only years later did the Goldman analyst from that call admit he wasn't aware of the extent of Lernout & Hauspie's Asian revenue growth. Had he known, he would have been skeptical, Cotler said.

"These were salt of the earth people who are geniuses at what they do," Cotler said, describing the key figures at Dragon. But the world of Wall Street and high finance was unfamiliar terrain for them. It was the reason why they put their faith in Goldman, the best and biggest investment bank in the world, he added.

Join our #youthskillswork infographic competition ? World Education ...

Data are key to telling us how well we are doing in progressing towards Education for All ? whether countries are on track or off track, and who is getting left behind in entering school or learning once inside the classroom. Policymakers need to be presented with such information in easily accessible ways to make sure they know whether they are fulfilling their commitments. This is why the Education for All Global Monitoring Report team is seeking your help to communicate these data to policymakers.

Every year, the Education for All Global Monitoring Report collates statistics from multiple sources and displays them as?tables, graphs and charts. For the past two reports, we have also made?infographics?out of some of the key findings. A growing online tool for visualizing complicated data, infographics are hugely useful to reports such as ours which are grappling with communicating the complexity and importance of the evidence we bring together for making policy recommendations on issues such as reaching marginalized children, making sure education reaches those living in conflict-affected countries, or making sure young people have the right skills they need for work.

We are seeking your help to visualize our data and message, and are delighted to announce that we have formed a partnership with the Guardian Datablog and?Visual.ly, one of the biggest infographic communities in the world, to launch an infographic competition on the subject of?Youth and Skills: Putting education to work.?Winners will have their infographic posted on the Guardian DataBlog and will become certified designers on Visual.ly?s Marketplace.

This competition is part of our youth-led campaign, ?Let?s put education to work?, comprised of an online petition, blogs, polls, competitions and even a?photo and film contest?run by another of our partners, TakingITGlobal.

In addition, we?re delighted to announce that we?ve launched the first ever global SMS campaign for young people who might not have computers to add their voices too: participants just text their name, age, country and what job they would do if they had the skills to +447580 484 263.

Competitors should work from one of the following datasets to create their infographics:

1. Key facts and statistics
2. Or: ?Young women in rural areas are most likely to lack foundation skills for work?
3. Or: ?Youth from wealthy households are more likely to attain basic foundation skills for?work?
4. Or: take your own data from our new website:?The Worldwide Inequality Database on Education

You don?t have to be an expert to design a graphic ? there are many?free online infographic tools to work from. So try your hand and send your submissions through to ?contest@visual.ly?or?efareport@unesco.org (with #youthskillswork in the subject line).

Surprise! Alcohol Makes 16% of Americans' Calorie Intake | Foodbeast

No, seriously. We like it?a lot.?Like 16% of our calorie intake a lot.

It seems this does come as a surprise to some, though. Now that we?re at the point where even McDonald?s lists total calories on its menu, and there?s a low-fat, sugar-free, n0-gluten version of everything, we have to start looking at other culprits for this whole ?obesity? thing. Namely, alcohol. Apparently, Americans consume around 100 calories worth of booze?a day, according to the National Center for Health Statistics.

The same report goes on to say that the aforementioned 16 percent comes from the 32.7 percent of men and 18 percent of women who drink on a daily basis, and that 16 percent ?is the same percentage as added sugars contribute to U.S. children?s diets.?

Other findings include:

• Men consume an average of 150 calories from alcoholic beverages, while women average 50 calories.

• The highest caloric intake was seen in men aged 20 to 39, who consume almost 175 calories daily on average from alcoholic beverages.
• Average calories from alcoholic beverages were greatest among those in the highest income category: those living at or above 350 percent of the poverty level consumed 117 calories a day from alcohol, compared to 91 calories in those living at poverty level.
• More of men?s alcohol calories come from beer than other liquor types; women?s were fairly equivalent across beer, wine and spirits.

In other words, we need to drink more water. Just? as a nation.

This Awesome Art Made with Food Is Proof Your Parents Should Have Let You Play with Your Food

Do you remember yourself as a child? All that unbridled creativity, all that stepping out of the box, all that kidness. You used to be the Picasso with the dinner plate, moving peas here, swiping sauces there. It look like a real piece of art until... your mom or dad told you to quit playing with your food. WELL. You know what mom and dad? We all could've been an awesome artist like Brock Davis who turned food into wonderful pieces of art. More »

Dr. Jane Greer: Russell Crowe: Can You Really ... - Huffington Post

Russell Crowe and his wife of nine years, Danielle Spencer, announced their separation recently after nine years of marriage. The two were on opposite sides of the globe when the news broke -- she in Australia shooting "Dancing With The Stars", and he in Los Angeles shooting the film "Noah." Their whereabouts might be an indication of what went wrong in their marriage. Did their careers take priority over their personal lives?

You have to ask yourself the question: which comes first, my home life or my work? Sometimes there's no easy answer. There is a time in many people's lives when they wonder if they've compromised one for the other. Everyone who has a passion for what they do has struggled to balance work and family. For celebrities, the choice can be particularly hard since their projects often take them far away for long periods of time, but you don't have to be a star to grapple with this tug-of-war.

This dilemma can strike at different stages of people's lives: being too busy to find love, being taken away from a boyfriend or new spouse by work demands, or having to choose between your children and your job. At some point, you will most likely be forced to make a decision. So the question becomes: How much is too much? And how much of a toll does work take?

Having a career certainly shouldn't preclude you from having a fulfilling romantic and home life, but sometimes people become so consumed with their work that it depletes the energy that they might otherwise be able to spend on personal commitments. For example, Abigail, one of my patients, completely threw herself into her work. Because she could make time only for the occasional date, it became impossible for her to develop a real relationship. She feels there is no other option for her but to take on more creative responsibility if she wants to build her career and continue to move up the ladder. The risk, however, is that if she doesn't make some room now for her romantic life, she may lose the opportunity to have one.

What if you're the person left at home repeatedly, as my patient Ellen and her baby recently were while her husband worked on a big project? Or what if your boyfriend has to move to another city in order to tackle his new promotion? In fact, when my patient Claire's boyfriend moved, he was working toward financial stability so he could feel secure and ready to propose to her. However, she took it personally and thought he wasn't committed to the relationship because he moved away. It is easy to feel that your partner is choosing the office over you; they, however, typically don't see it as a choice but rather their professional responsibility.

If this is going on with the person you are dating or married to, try to step back and consider what's motivating them to invest so much energy into their work. Also, it might be helpful to have a conversation with them to see if they can put some checks and balances in place at work in order to make some personal time. If you're the one who's been overwhelmed with work and not making it home until after 9:00 p.m. or missing a Friday night with your family, give your loved one fair warning. That way, they can make other plans and not feel ignored or abandoned.

It is important to take the time to figure out your work-life balance. You will want to preserve the emotional intimacy you share with your partner because that can ultimately help sustain you as you make your way in the world -- and up the corporate ladder.

Please tune in to "Let's Talk Sex" which streams live on HealthyLife.net every last Tuesday of the month at 2 PM EST, 11 AM Pacific. We look forward to listener call-in questions, dealing with relationships, intimacy, family, and friendships, at 1.800.555.5453.

iPad mini has advanced software to detect unintended touches around the screens bezel

Apple officially announced the iPad mini at its special media event yesterday and one of the things that stands out on the iPad mini is the thinness of the bezel surrounding the screen. if you compare the new iPad with the iPad mini, you can see in portrait mode that the bezel on the left and right hand side is much slimmer on the iPad mini. One of the problems with a thin bezel is that it makes holding the device much harder without actually touching the screen and inadvertently interacting with the software on the touch screen. Thankfully Apple has taken care of the problem with some advanced software.

iPad mini is small. But when you use it, it doesn?t feel small. That?s because it?s designed to give you the maximum amount of screen in the minimum amount of space. To achieve that, we had to rethink the relationship between the screen and the overall shape of the product. iPad has symmetrical bezels around all of its edges. But for iPad mini, we reduced the width of the bezels on two sides of the display. So although the screen is smaller, it?s even more prominent. Rethinking the screen meant we also had to rethink the software behind it. iPad mini intelligently recognizes whether your thumb is simply resting on the display or whether you?re intentionally interacting with it. It?s the kind of detail you?ll notice ? by not noticing it. And it?s a great example of how Apple hardware and software work together to give you the best experience possible.

So according to Apple, you don't need to worry about inadvertently touching the screen when you're holding the iPad mini. We will be interested to see how good the software is in real world situations but Apple appears confident enough to make us aware that it exists so we wouldn't be surprised if it works exactly as intended.

Ten Things That Have Surprised Me About Early Motherhood ...

by Lara on October 24, 2012

I am now nearly eleven weeks into motherhood.

It is exhausting.

It is exhilarating.

It is challenging and emotional and yes, rewarding.

You know what else? ?It?s surprising.

Ten Things That Have Surprised Me About Early Motherhood

1. The first few weeks are a unique sort of Heaven and Hell. ??It was the best of times, it was the worst of times,? is how I will always look back at my baby?s first month of life. ?Sure, you hear about how newborns sleep a lot and how blissful it is to gaze at this new life you created. ?But no one warns you how completely inadequate you will feel every time your child cries. ?No one tells you that you might be secretly afraid to hold your own baby because it feels like their little head is going to bobble off their body. ?Or that breastfeeding at first is THE HARDEST THING EVER. ?And certainly, no one tells you about the overwhelming fear of SIDS that keeps you up even when your baby is sleeping.
2. ?Mommy brain? is real. ?I used to think this term was created by some sort of underground mothers coalition to use as an excuse for practically everything. ?Forgot to shave? ?Mommy brain. ?Ran a red light? ?Mommy brain. ?But the first time someone asked me for my child?s birth date and I gave them my own, I realized the scary truth. My brain really has turned to mush.
3. The amount of things I can accomplish one-handed. The first day I was home alone with G, I didn?t pee from 9am until 4pm. ?Now I can practically cook an entire meal with just five fingers.
4. Phantom baby cries. In the shower, in an exercise class, in the car driving solo. ?A baby?s cry is now permanently recorded in my brain.
5. You can live in fear of something that weighs seven pounds. ?Babies cry. ?That was one of the last things my midwife told me before discharging us from the hospital. ?Yet somehow when we?re out in public, the thought of my baby crying is incredibly anxiety-inducing. ?I am still learning to get out of the house and feel confident that I can meet his needs outside of our comfort zone.
6. How easily you become ?that mom.? I swore I would never post my child?s picture all over the internet. ?Now he is overexposed on basically all social media platforms, and I regularly text friends and family with updates on his development and growth. ?I write status updates complaining about a lack of sleep and stacks of laundry. ?I am. ?That Mom.
7. You stop caring about what other people think. ?Childbirth really does something to a girl?s sense of modesty. ?But more than that, I get the whole Mama Bear thing now. ?Pre-baby, I like to think I was pretty polite. ?Some even said I was overly apologetic. ?Nowadays, if you want to hold my baby, here is the hand sanitizer. ?And if you?re uncomfortable with breastfeeding, you?d better leave when he is hungry.
8. You develop a whole new appreciation for your own parents. ?It sounds selfish, but one of the first thoughts I had when I held my baby for the first time was actually a realization about my own upbringing: If my parents love me even half this much, I have been loved so much more than I ever knew.
9. You?re still the same person. People like to warn you that there is a you BB (Before Baby) and AB (After Baby). ?And while my waist may never return to its BB size, I am still a crazy dog lady. ?I still worship big hair?and country music. ?You have a baby, and on one hand, you are the same. ?On the other hand?
10. You?ll never be the same again. My sister sent me the link to a blog post when I was about eight months pregnant that I couldn?t fully relate to at the time. ?I have returned to it many times since my baby?s birth, because now I understand. ?I will quote the author directly, because I cannot better express the sentiment that she has so beautifully written:

This is the thing that women don?t tell each other about motherhood. That you will never be who you were. That you will not see anything the way you used to see it, you will never hear language the way you used to hear it, music, color, photos, friends, family, career path?nothing or no one came through my transition from single woman to mother unexamined. Least of all myself.

?and now if you?ll excuse me, I think I just heard my baby cry. ?I think.

How Tumors Exploit Gut Flora to Fuel Growth, and the Surprising Finding that Chemotherapy Boosts Resistant Cancer

By Dr. Mercola

Could your gut flora play a role in cancer growth? According to recent research, the answer is a tentative yes.

Findings published in the journal?Nature¹?report the discovery of microbial-dependent mechanisms through which some cancers mount an inflammatory response that fuels their development and growth. These findings provide new insight into how cancer cells can hijack your body's inflammatory reaction by exploiting microbial-dependent immune cells.

As reported by?Medical News Today:²

"The association between chronic inflammation and tumor development has long been known from the early work of German pathologist Rudolph Virchow. Harvard University pathologist Harold Dvorak later compared tumors with 'wounds that never heal,' noting the similarities between normal inflammation processes that characterize wound- healing and tumorigenesis or tumor-formation.

Indeed, 15 to 20 percent of all cancers are preceded by chronic inflammation - a persistent immune response that can target both diseased and healthy tissues... Still, most cancers are not preceded by chronic inflammation.?

On the other hand, they exploit ubiquitous, infiltrating immune cells to unduly provoke and hijack the host inflammatory reaction. Until now, the mechanism of so-called 'tumor-elicited inflammation,' which is detected in most solid malignancies, was poorly explained.

'The tumor-associated inflammatory reaction... may hold the keys for future preventive and therapeutic measures,' said first author Sergei Grivennikov, Ph.D?

Noting that studies of long-term users of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as aspirin, have revealed that general inhibition of inflammation reduces the risk of cancer death by up to 45 percent, depending on the type of cancer. 'So inhibition of inflammation during cancer development may be beneficial.'"

How Even Beneficial Gut Bacteria Might Spur Colon Cancer Growth

The research centered around colon cancer. What may be surprising is that the intestinal bacteria involved in this inflammatory mechanism are not necessarily the pathogenic variety, but rather ordinarily benign microflora.?

The reason for this is because as the tumor develops, it disrupts the normal, healthy functioning of tissues, and because tumors lack a particular protein that normally coats and protects tissue cells, normal microflora present in your colon can enter the tumor. Since the bacteria does not "belong" there, your immune cells recognize them as invaders, and launch an inflammatory response.

The presence of microbial products are also picked up by macrophages (white blood cells) and immune cells within the tumor, which in turn produce cytokines that further spurs the inflammatory process. One of the primary cytokines involved is Interleukin-23, which regulates inflammation and triggers the production of other inflammatory cytokines that promote tumor development and progression.

The researchers were able to reduce tumor-elicited inflammation and tumor growth by using a combination of broad-spectrum antibiotics. Antibiotics, as you probably know, indiscriminately kill off all types of intestinal bacteria, and by reducing the normal microflora, tumor growth and related inflammation diminished.

According to Grivennikov:³

"This is a very nice demonstration of how tumor-elicited inflammation in cancers that arise in the absence of underlying chronic inflammatory disease can be induced... The next step is to look for the upregulation of Interleukin-23 and related cytokines in colon cancer patients, inhibit these cytokines and determine whether these impact cancer progression and response to therapy."

While tumor growth and tumor-elicited inflammation was reduced, I would caution you to not get confused and think that heavy-handed antibiotic use might spare you from colon cancer. I believe this would be a serious mistake... The key, I think, is to place a greater focus on optimizing gut health, to prevent and naturally counteract the development of inflammation in the first place.?

The idea that you might be able to halt colon cancer proliferation by eradicating your microflora, or designing a drug to prevent cytokine production is bound to cause some serious side effects. Cytokine production occurs in response to inflammation, so just inhibiting them is not actually going to?resolve?the underlying inflammation...

And you clearly cannot be healthy without normal gut flora, so eradicating it to prevent tumor growth would likely be disastrous in the long term. What you want to do is encourage the proliferation of beneficial bacteria, which by competitive inhibition, will limit or decimate the populations of pathogenic bacteria, yeasts and fungi. This is largely done by limiting fuel for the pathogens, which would include sugars and non-fibrous carbs, and providing loads of beneficial bacterial supplements like fermented vegetables.

As Grivennikov says, inhibiting inflammation during cancer development is likely a vital component of prevention. The question is how to properly inhibit inflammation, and in my view, inhibiting inflammation through healthy lifestyle choices makes a whole lot of sense, as opposed to taking drugs.

Your Gut Affects Your Metabolism and Genetic Expression

As time goes on, we're gaining more and more information about the important roles gut flora plays in maintaining overall health. The good news is that this is an area you can exercise a lot of control over. Your diet can quickly alter the composition of your gut flora. Processed foods high in sugar and chemical additives and low in nutrients is a surefire way to decimate the beneficial bacteria in your gut, allowing the harmful pathogenic kind to thrive.

Research has also shown that your microflora has a significant impact on gene expression, such as the genes responsible for vitamin biosynthesis and metabolism.?Probiotics?have been found to influence the activity of hundreds of your genes, helping them to express in a positive, disease-fighting manner ? some of which affect your body in a manner resembling the effects of certain medicines. Probiotics (healthy bacteria) has over 30 beneficial pharmacological actions that we know of, including those listed below.⁴

Note that probiotics downregulate interleukin-6, one of several cytokines involved in inflammatory processes, so probiotics may turn out to be an important player in helping to inhibit cytokine production ? as suggested by Grivennikov above ? and control inflammation that might otherwise lead to colon cancer:

Anti-bacterial	Anti-allergenic	Anti-viral	Immunomodulatory
Anti-infective	Antioxidant	Antiproliferative	Apoptopic (cellular self-destruction)
Antidepressive	Antifungal	Cardioprotective	Gastroprotective
Radio- and chemo protective	Upregulates glutathione and certain glycoproteins that help regulate immune responses, including interleukin-4, interleukin-10, and interleukin-12	Downregulates interleukin-6 (a cytokine involved in chronic inflammation and age-related diseases)	Inhibits tumor necrosis factor (TNF) alpha inhibitor, NF-kappaB, epidermal growth factor receptor, and more

The Ideal Way to Optimize Your Gut Health

Historically, people didn't have the same problems with their gut health as we do today for the simple fact that they got large quantities of beneficial bacteria from their diet in the form of fermented or cultured foods, which were invented long before the advent of refrigeration and other forms of food preservation.

You can ferment virtually any food, and every traditional culture has traditionally fermented their foods to prevent spoilage. There are also many fermented beverages and yoghurts. Quite a large percent of all the foods that people consumed on a daily basis were fermented, and each 2-3 ounce serving of an ideally prepared food can provide?trillions?of beneficial bacteria ? far more than you can get from any probiotic supplement.

In fact, it's unusual to find a probiotic supplement containing more than 10 billion colony-forming units, but when my team tested fermented vegetables produced by probiotic starter cultures, they had?10 trillion?colony-forming units of bacteria. Literally, one serving of vegetables was equal to an entire bottle of a high potency probiotic! Fermented foods also give you a wider variety of beneficial bacteria, so all in all, it's your most cost effective alternative.

Fermenting your own foods is a fairly straight-forward and simple process, and can provide even greater savings. To learn more, please listen to my interview with Caroline Barringer, a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP) who has been involved with nutrition for about 20 years.

Chemotherapy Can Boost Cancer Growth, Study Finds

A related news story again highlights the need to revise how we treat cancer and how we view cancer prevention. Chemotherapy is a staple of the?cut, poison, burn?paradigm that is conventional cancer treatment, despite the evidence against it. According to research published in the journal?Nature Medicine,⁵?chemotherapy can damage healthy cells in such a way that they begin secreting a protein (WNT16B) that not only protects cancer cells and promotes their survival, but can also cause the tumors to be resistant to further chemotherapy treatment.

In a nutshell, what we're talking about is chemotherapy-resistant cancer... caused by the initial treatment. It's difficult to think of a worse scenario than this. The finding was reportedly "completely unexpected," and was only discovered because they were trying to determine why cancer cells can be easily killed in a lab setting yet remain so resilient inside your body. The results were confirmed on breast and ovarian cancer tumors.Co-author Peter Nelson of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle told AFP:⁶

"The increase in WNT16B was completely unexpected... WNT16B, when secreted, would interact with nearby tumor cells and cause them to grow, invade, and importantly, resist subsequent therapy..."

The researchers speculate that adding an antibody to WNT16B to the chemotherapy might improve the response rate and kill off more cancer cells. Another alternative might be to use smaller, less toxic doses of chemotherapy to reduce the damage to healthy cells.

Getting to the Root of the Problem

I strongly believe the cancer rates are escalating because they are in no way shape or form addressing the underlying cause of most cancers. Instead, most of the research is directed towards expensive drugs that target late stages of the disease and greatly enrich the drug companies but simply do not prevent cancer. If ever there was an area in which an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure it is cancer. I strongly believe that if you are able to work your way up to?the advanced level of my health plan, that you will virtually eliminate your risk of most cancers.

Environmental and lifestyle factors are increasingly being pinpointed as the primary culprits fueling our cancer epidemic. This includes:

?

This is clearly not an exhaustive list as such a list would be exceedingly long. For more specifics on consumer products implicated as contributors to cancer, please review the Cancer Prevention Coalition's "Dirty Dozen" list.⁷

Medical researchers would like you to believe they're doing everything they can to come up with a solution. Yet all we see is research into newer drug therapies. Clearly they're not digging close enough to the root of the problem, because if they did, they'd touch on some of these lifestyle issues just mentioned. From my perspective, you ignore lifestyle factors at your own peril when it comes to cancer... Because, clearly, drug-based "advances" are?not?making a dent in this progressively prevalent disease.

REAL Cancer Advancements that Need to Become Mainstream Knowledge

In the last 30 years the global cancer burden has?doubled, and it will likely double again between 2000 and 2020, and?nearly triple by 2030?? unless people begin to take?cancer prevention?seriously. We CAN turn this trend around, but to do so the medical community must?stop overlooking?the methods that can actually have a significant impact.

Three cancer advancements in particular merit special mention. These advancements have not yet been accepted by conventional medicine, and they must be.

Number 1: Vitamin D?? There's overwhelming evidence pointing to the fact that?vitamin D?deficiency plays a crucial role in cancer development. Researchers within this field have estimated that about?30 percent of cancer deaths?could be prevented each year simply by optimizing the vitamin D levels in the general population. And if you are being treated for cancer it is likely that higher blood levels ? probably around 80-90 ng/ml ? would be a beneficial adjunct to your treatment plan. To learn the details on how to use vitamin D therapeutically, please review my previous article,?Test Values and Treatment for Vitamin D Deficiency.

The health benefits of optimizing your levels, either by safe sun exposure (ideally), a safe tanning bed, or oral supplementation as a last resort, simply cannot be overstated. In terms of protecting against cancer, vitamin D has been found to offer protection in a number of ways, including:

• Regulating genetic expression
• Increasing the self-destruction of mutated cells (which, if allowed to replicate, could lead to cancer)
• Reducing the spread and reproduction of cancer cells
• Causing cells to become differentiated (cancer cells often lack differentiation)
• Reducing the growth of new blood vessels from pre-existing ones, which is a step in the transition of dormant tumors turning cancerous

Number 2: Optimizing Your Insulin Levels?? Normalizing your insulin levels is one of the most powerful physical actions you can take to lower your risk of cancer. Otto Warburg actually received a Nobel Prize for his research on cancer cell physiology in 1934, which clearly demonstrated cancer cells require more sugar to thrive. Unfortunately, very few oncologists appreciate or apply this knowledge today.

High levels of insulin can cause major damage to your body. The most recognized of these is diabetes, but that is far from the only one. As Ron Rosedale, M.D. said in one of my most popular articles,?Insulin and Its Metabolic Effects:

"It doesn't matter what disease you are talking about, whether you are talking about a common cold or cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis or cancer, the root is always going to be at the molecular and cellular level, and I will tell you that insulin is going to have its hand in it, if not totally control it."

The good news is that controlling your insulin levels is relatively straightforward. First, limit your intake of processed foods, grains and sugars/fructose as much as possible to prevent your insulin levels from becoming elevated in the first place. Replace them with healthy fats such as butter, animal fat, coconut oil, avocados, seeds and nuts.

I recently completed ten hours of interviews with Dr. Rosedale in which he goes FAR deeper into his philosophy and recommendations. I was floored at what I learned and he has once again changed my position on many important nutritional issues. One of the KEY new insights is that you need to LIMIT your protein to no more than your basic requirements, which is about one gram per kilogram of LEAN body mass, which is typically less than 70 grams for most people. If you go over this you will upregulate the mTOR pathways, which has been strongly associated with increasing your risk for cancer.

I am very excited to share this information with you once we review it as it is possible that this can help?the treatment of most cancers. And it is all done with dietary regulation. Supplements can be used, but they are optional and only make the transition to fat burning metabolism easier.

Number 3: Exercise?? If you are like most people, when you think of reducing your risk of cancer, exercise doesn't immediately come to mind. However, there is some fairly compelling evidence that exercise can slash your risk of cancer.

One of the primary ways exercise lowers your risk for cancer is by reducing elevated insulin levels, which creates a low sugar environment that discourages the growth and spread of cancer cells. Additionally, exercise improves the circulation of immune cells in your blood. Your immune system is your first line of defense against everything from minor illnesses like a cold right up to devastating, life-threatening diseases like cancer.

The trick about exercise, though, is understanding how to use it as a precise tool. This ensures you are getting enough to achieve the benefit, not too much to cause injury, and the right variety to balance your entire physical structure and maintain strength and flexibility, and aerobic and anaerobic fitness levels. This is why it is helpful to view exercise like a drug that needs to be carefully prescribed to achieve its maximum benefit.

It's important to include a large variety of techniques in your exercise routine, such as strength training, aerobics, core-building activities, and stretching. Most important of all, however, is to make sure you include?high-intensity, burst-type exercise, once or twice a week, in which you raise your heart rate up to your anaerobic threshold for 20 to 30 seconds, and then you recover for 90 seconds. These exercises activate your super-fast twitch muscle fibers, which can increase your body's natural production of human growth hormone.

Winning the War Against Cancer Begins with Your Personal Choices

You can do a lot, right now, to significantly decrease your cancer risk. Even the conservative American Cancer Society states that one-third of cancer deaths are linked to poor diet, physical inactivity, and carrying excess weight. So, in addition to the main three suggestions listed above, making the following healthy lifestyle changes can go a very long way toward avoiding all forms of cancer:

1. Eat a healthy diet of whole organic foods, and pay careful attention to keeping your insulin levels down by avoiding sugar/fructose and grains. I make this easy with my recently updated and free?Nutrition Plan. The key here is to radically reduce your sugar and non-fiber carbs to an absolute minimum and limit your protein to one gram per one kilogram of lean body mass.
2. Only 25 percent of people eat enough vegetables, so by all means eat as many vegetables as you are comfortable with. Ideally, they should be fresh and organic.?Cruciferous vegetables?in particular have been identified as having potent anti-cancer properties. Remember that carb nutritional types may need up to 300 percent more vegetables than protein nutritional types.
3. Get appropriate amounts of high quality animal-based omega-3 fats.
4. Have a tool to permanently erase the neurological short-circuiting that can activate cancer genes. Even the CDC states that 85 percent of disease is caused by emotions. It is likely that this factor may be more important than all the other physical ones listed here, so make sure this is addressed. My particular favorite tool for this purpose, as you may know, is the?Emotional Freedom Technique.
5. Maintain an ideal body fat percentage.
6. Get enough high-quality sleep.
7. Reduce your exposure to environmental toxins like pesticides, household chemical cleaners, synthetic air fresheners and air pollution.
8. Reduce your use of cell phones and other wireless technologies, and implement as many?safety strategies?as possible if/when you cannot avoid their use.
9. Boil, poach or steam your foods, rather than frying or charbroiling them.
