Independant Study Out of LSU Suggests Protandim May Serve As Cancer Prevention

admin — Sun, 04 Dec 2011 08:00:18 +0000

Recent independant research out of LSU suggests that the nutritional supplement, Protandim, may help in the prevention of skin cancer. Protandim was shown to decrease skin tumor incidence in the study involving mice according to a recent peer review out of LSU.

This research supports early findings from Dr. Joe McCord who studied and found that Protandim, according to the company website, actually signals the cells in your body to produce its own antioxidants enzymes, which provide thousands of times more antioxidant power than any food or conventional supplement. and it’s this power that’s helping to prevent oxidative stress as we age.

Oxidative stress is known to as a major contributor to cancer development, heart disease, and diabetes. the cause of oxidative stress comes from free radicals in our cells. these free radicals latch onto healthy cells and destroy them causing oxidative stress. Up until the age of about 18 we are able to fight these free radicals from our own bodies production of antioxidants but as we age the formation of antioxidants starts to diminish. hence the aging process begins and the resulting health issues(cancer, heart disease, and diabetes) which comes from getting older.

Protandim has been clinically proven to slow the aging process and resulting health issues. they are not saying that Protandim is a cure for these diseases but independant studies are showing real promise for this nutritional supplement. According to the study those promises may not be far away from reality.

Protandim is a NOT a consumable antioxident. It’s phytonutrients which are designed to signal your cells to produce powerful antioxidant enzymes which neutralize more free radicals than consumables.

Johnny Depp is the man of 1,000 faces. this gorgeous, laid back actor has his own style and his own swagger. The Deppster first came to light on 1990′s TV series “21 Jump Street” and it’s been a straight rise to the top since then.

Fans of the iconic Texas cowboy character “The Lone Ranger” were looking forward to the Disney Depp treatment of the movie. Wait no more movie watchers, this version of the flick has been canceled. The Golden Globe Award winner will not be riding off into the sunset with Tonto any time soon. Reportedly the two hundred million dollar price tag for production of the movie was too out of control for the studio.

If you need a flick fix from one of the most creative actors in Hollywood, here are a few movies you should rent today.

“Edward Scissorhands”

Depp’s “Edward Scissorhands” is one of the most inventive movie characters ever. The dark 1990 fantasy fairytale was directed by Tim Burton and co-stars Winona Ryder. just as interesting as this romantic movie is the fact that Depp and Ryder’s relationship ended up with a ribbon tattoo on his right arms which now reads “Wino forever.”

“Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”

In 2005 our man Johnny courageously took on the iconic 1971 film “Willy Wonka and the Charlie Factory.” another Tim Burton collabo, of course Johnny D played weird Willy Wonka, candy impresario. instead of just recreating what Gene Wilder did in the original Depp brought his own flair and a wild, new interpretation.

“Pirates of the Caribbean”

Today’s kids know the SAG best Actor award-winner most from the “Pirates of Caribbean” franchise. The fantasy adventure series stars Johnny as Captain Jack Sparrow. The series produced by Jerry Bruckheimer started in 2003 and fans want more.

“Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas”

For the king of oddball characters “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas” was right up his alley. The comedy is based on a Hunter S. Thompson autobiographical novel of the same name. Actor Benicio del Toro co-stars. this flick is on many lists of best cult films.

So what will Mr. Depp do next? We don’t know but it’s sure to be memorable.

What do you think Johnny D should do now?

New York Knicks: 5 Reasons the Proposed 3-Team Carmelo Trade Won’t Happen

In what has surprisingly been the least scrutinized aspect of this trade, one has to wonder why Minnesota would be interested in getting involved with the proposed deal. As it stands, the T-Wolves would have to give up Corey Brewer; who is a consistent role player averaging 8.7 PPG and 24.5 MPG.

Granted, those numbers don’t blow anyone away, but they do prove the former Gator to be a contributor—something Anthony Randolph is not. although there were high hopes for him in training camp, Randolph has been unable to crack Mike D’Antoni’s rotation thus far.

Many, possibly including the Minnesota front office, will view this as a glass half-full situation—”He’s got plenty of upside, but hasn’t had a chance to prove himself yet”.

However, the more conservative glass half-empty stance would say that Randolph must be consistently performing poorly in practice if he can’t get on the court for a team that could really use some more production from their bench.

As a long, versatile forward, he would be perfect in D’Antoni’s system, so there must be some glaring deficiency he has that the coaching staff is witnessing in practice to justify his lack of playing time. At best, Randolph and Brewer cancel each other out.

The part of the equation that really doesn’t make sense for the ‘Wolves is the first-round pick that they’re apparently prepared to give up. considering the fact that they currently hold the league’s second-worst record, it’s very likely that the draft pick in question would be in the top five.

This means that they would be throwing away the opportunity to draft a potential franchise-caliber player. Is that really a risk worth taking in return for Anthony Randolph?

Alright, we all know it’s not exactly breaking news that Denver has always been unsatisfied with what the Knicks are offering in return for their superstar. although Anthony has a considerable amount of leverage in these trade discussions because of his impending free-agency and his unwillingness to sign an extension with most teams, this doesn’t necessarily mean the Nuggets have to trade him to new York.

Several teams have expressed interest in “renting” Carmelo for the season including the Mavericks, Rockets and most recently, the Lakers. (The Lakers have reportedly discussed a straight-up ‘Melo-for-Bynum swap.)

The Mavs and Lakers are willing to make the trade without ‘Melo signing an extension because they are championship contenders this season, and if he pushes either team over the edge, their investment will have paid off.

It’s possible that even more elite teams will come forward in the next two weeks, presenting offers that will likely outweigh what the Knicks can put on the table.

It may be evident to the media and the fans that Carmelo no longer wants to play for the Nuggets, but from reading quotes from their owner Stan Kroenke and GM Masai Ujiri, it seems as though they still retain some hope that ‘Melo can be persuaded to stay.

It’s possible that the Nuggets will take the risk of keeping him until the end of the season with the ideal situation, from their perspective, resulting in a deep playoff run reminiscent of their 2009 Western Conference Finals trip.

Then, hopefully, they can convince ‘Melo to stay on the basis that they can offer him the chance to win a title in Denver in the coming years, especially with the Lakers’ and Mavericks’ respective windows of opportunity closing sooner rather than later.

Also, the monetary aspect of this whole fiasco needs to be taken into account. We would be naive to think that the $65 million on the table is not causing Anthony to lose some sleep at night, particularly with a potential lockout looming for next season.

The bottom line is that Denver is the only team that can offer him that much money in guaranteed salary.

As evidenced by the fact that they’re low-balling the Nuggets with their latest offer, the Knicks are clearly not hell-bent on trading for ‘Melo before the deadline. They feel safe in the knowledge that ‘Melo’s number one choice has always been to play at Madison Square Garden, whether that comes about via trade or this summer’s free agency.

Unless it looks like a trade is actually going to be completed with another team in the meantime, with ‘Melo agreeing to sign the all important extension, the Knicks don’t need to gut their roster now when they can get him for practically nothing in July.

If Denver doesn’t accept the Knicks’ current offer, the likelihood is that Donnie Walsh will sit tight for the rest of the season rather than frantically throwing in Gallo or Fields at the last minute to sweeten the deal.

How many trade scenarios have we seen so far this season involving Carmelo Anthony?

The over/under has to be at least somewhere around eight at this point. So far, none of these deals have been completed, so what exactly should make us think that this potential deal will be “the one?”

When you have trades involving three or four teams, it’s almost impossible to convince each party to pull the trigger, let alone match up all the salaries.

If this prolonged saga continues to hold its form, expect a few more twists and turns before a final deal is either agreed upon or scrapped at the last minute.
