3 Tips to Eating Healthy

1.) Eat plenty of foods that are rich in calcium. People in their early twenties need to be build up stores of calcium in their bodies to prevent osteoporosis in later life. If you don't like milk, try to include ample amounts of low-fat yogurt, low-fat cheese, and green leafy vegetables in your diet.

2.) If you need to lose weight, do it sensibly. Starvation and/or diets that offer a quick fix usually backfire and are harmful. There is not truth to the theories that suggest eating foods in any particular combination will promote weight loss. The only safe way to lose weight, feel good while doing it, and keep it off is to eat a balanced diet.

3.) Drink lots of water. Your body needs at least eight glasses a day, and if you exercise vigorously, you may need more. To remind yourself, carry a water bottle along to class and keep it handy during late night study sessions.

How Does Chemotherapy Work?

Chemotherapy is designed to kill cancer cells. Chemotherapy can be administered through a vein, injected into a body cavity, or delivered orally in the form of a pill, depending on which drug is used.

Chemotherapy works by destroying cancer cells; unfortunately, it cannot tell the difference between a cancer cell and some healthy cells. So chemotherapy eliminates not only the fast-growing cancer cells but also other fast-growing cells in your body, including, hair and blood cells.

Some cancer cells grow slowly while others grow rapidly. As a result, different types of chemotherapy drugs target the growth patterns of specific types of cancer cells. Each drug has a different way of working and is effective at a specific time in the life cycle of the cell it targets. Your doctor will determine the chemotherapy drug that is right for you.

Chemotherapy

"Chemotherapy" has been used for more that fifty years, but many changes have occurred in the types of drugs used, dosage, and frequency. Chemotherapy is sometimes recommended prior to surgery to shrink the tumor to make it more feasible for the surgeon to remove the entire tumor during surgery.

There are more than fifty different chemotherapy drugs and the drugs are used in different proportions and combinations based on the specific cancer diagnostic information. In general, chemotherapy drugs affects the DNA of the cells by interfering with cell duplication. These drugs affect both the cancerous and the healthy cell DNA. The healthy cells that are particularly susceptible to chemotherapeutic drugs are those which multiply quickly, like the skin (including body, facial, and head hair), gastrointestinal tract, and bone marrow.

LifeMel Honey is here for the support of patients suffering from the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Let us know how we can help you boost your immune system.

A Successful Story Of A LifeMel Honey User

Heime Geffen

May 31, 2007

By Candice Krieger


Two months ago he was bed-ridden, his chemotherapy treatment had been abandoned and oncologists had written him off. But now leukaemia sufferer Heime Geffen claims that he is showing improvements thanks to an Israeli-made honey, Lifemel.

The 76-year-old retired doctor was diagnosed with leukaemia in October 2006. He tells People: “My white cell count at that time was 2.1 (the normal is close to 4). Following chemotherapy it dropped to 1.2 and remained in that until March 2007. Chemotherapy was abandoned in February and I was not receiving any treatment.”

In April, Dr Geffen started taking twice-daily teaspoons of Lifemel honey, after his daughter Terri Barnett and her husband Ian heard about it from an Israeli oncologist. Lifemel is reportedly made from bees fed on specific plants, and adherents claim that it can help fight neutropenia, an abnormal decrease in the blood’s white blood cells. Dr Geffen says: “Being a doctor, I was sceptical about alternative medicines, but within a week I began feeling stronger, and my blood count started improving.

“Today, my white-blood-cell count is virtually normal. I am out of bed, have abandoned my walker and plan to play bridge again. Of course, I can not be sure that it is definitely the honey which is making me better, but I will carry on taking it.”

If this sounds like a sales pitch, perhaps there is a reason for Dr Geffen’s enthusiasm for the product. His son-in-law, recently back from Israel, is looking to market Lifemel in the UK.

The Science Behind LifeMel Honey

LifeMel is a specially formulated honey which could help cancer patients who develop Neutropenia, a debilitating side effect associated with chemotherapy and radiation therapy, according to a recent study.

The peer reviewed study published in the international journal, MEDICAL ONCOLOGY, highlights the beneficial role Life Mel Honey can have in patients experiencing ‘chemotherapy induced neutropenia’ Life Mel Honey, when administered to patients receiving chemotherapy with a known tendency to developing neutropenia, had a positive effect on the hematopoietic system and stimulated the production of red and white blood cells, hemoglobin and blood platelets.

Chemotherapy suppresses the hematopoietic system (blood production), thus impairing the body’s immunity mechanisms, potentially inducing anaemia and limiting the doses of chemotherapy which can be tolerated by patients. Febrile neutropenia, the most serious hematologic toxicity, is associated with the risk of life-threatening infections as well as chemotherapy dose reductions and delays which may compromise treatment outcomes for cancer patients.

The study assessed the use of Life Mel Honey (LMH) in patients with grade 4 neutropenia receiving chemotherapy for primary or metastatic disease. Traditionally, colony-stimulating factors (CSFs) are used for primary and secondary treatment in patients with grade 4 neutropenia, yet the use of these drugs are expensive and not without side-effects. In the current study, Life Mel Honey was administered to prevent neutropenia and reduce the need for CSFs in patients treated with chemotherapy. Blood counts were performed weekly.

There was no recurrence of neutropenia after LMH intake and no need for treatment with CSFs in 40% of patients. LMH was also effective at reducing the incidence of anaemia, which can often be a side effect of chemotherapy, in 64% of patients. No side effects were noted following LMH intake.

Further studies with larger numbers of patients are planned and researchers are currently preparing for Stage II clinical trials.

LifeMel Chemo Support

This unique honey is an innovative groundbreaking product for the support of patients suffering from the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation treatment. Life Mel Honey is produced by bees fed on a special nectar derived from therapeutic herbs including Siberian Ginseng, Echinacea and Uncaria Tomentosa, combined with a selection of natural ingredients including iron, protein and vitamins. This makes a unique honey with all the beneficial properties of the therapeutic herbs and natural ingredients.

Siberian Ginseng has traditionally been used as a tonic, whilst Echinacea is a traditional herbal remedy and well regarded for its ability to help support the immune system. Â Uncaria Tomentosa is believed to have antioxidant properties and has also been traditionally used to benefit the immune system

Life Mel Honey is not artificially treated in any way and no ingredients are added after extraction of honey from the hive. You get 100% pure bee honey created with the natural herbs that are fed to the bees. Our honey is specially produced in a controlled environment which guarantees a pollution-free pollination process. Other than collecting the honey from the hive and packing it, the honey is not artificially treated in any way and no ingredients are added after extraction of honey from the hive.

A recent clinical study has shown Life Mel Honey to be effective in decreasing the incidence of anemia in 64% of the patients, decreasing the incidence of severe neutropenia and lowering the incidence of potentially fatal thrombocytopenia (low platelets). Medical Oncology, vol. 23, no. 4, 549-552, 2006 . This clinical study was conducted by Professor Jamal Ziden, head of the Oncology department in Sieff Hospital, Dr. Moshe Stein, Oncology department Rambam Hospital, and Professor Eitan Friedman of Sheba Medical Center. The results are conclusive: LifeMel is EFFECTIVE and SAFE and Improvement in general feeling and quality of life.

Instructions:
Recommended use: Two teaspoons of Life Mel honey a day, one in the morning on an empty stomach and one in the evening. The honey should be sucked slowly.

FDA Warns Not to Give Cold Medicine to Children Under 6; What Does a Parent Do? Here's a Honey of an Idea

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) March 12, 2008 -- An FDA panel study released in October came to the conclusion that there is no
evidence that more than 800 'over the counter medicines' help young children. The study said that they "just don't work" and cannot be recommended. Among the ingredients that have caused concern are anti-cough medicines including dextromethorphan, which is the DM in many preparations. They can cause neurological problems, including abnormal movements and hallucinations, even in standard doses.

The panel concluded that the effectiveness of cold and cough medicines are effective only at doses that are too strong for children. The American academy of pediatrics said, "These medicines are ineffective and can have serious side effects. There are other ways to treat cold symptoms."

So, what is a parent supposed to do? In an article printed in 2007 in the Archives of Pediatric Medicine, medical doctors at Penn State University reported on the effectiveness of honey, dextromethorphan (cough syrup), and 'no treatment' on nighttime coughs and sleeping for children age 2 and up. This study was conducted on children with upper respiratory tract infections, nighttime symptoms and illness of 7 days or less. What the doctors did was give the children either honey, honey flavored DM , or 'no treatment at all', 30 minutes prior to bedtime. The result was that there was a significant difference in symptom improvement between treatment groups for both cough reduction and improved sleep, with the honey treatment scoring consistently the best. Honey was significantly superior to 'no treatment', but DM was not better than 'no treatment'.

The conclusion was that honey may be a preferable treatment for the cough and sleep difficulty associated with childhood respiratory tract infection. Even the Word Health Organization cited honey as a potential treatment for cough and cold symptoms.

Honey has many reported health benefits and has repeatedly been shown to aid in wound healing, even for children. Furthermore, honey has well established antioxidant and antimicrobial effects and may help explain its superiority in the study. It should be noted that the study used 'buckwheat honey', a darker honey, and darker honeys tend to have a higher content of phenolic compounds which have been associated with these antioxidant properties of honey that have contributed to its effect in the study.

This is not new news to Dr. Alexander Goroshit who realized the positive effects of honey on human beings over 30 years ago. Using an all natural approach of feeding special nectars to bees, thereby producing different types of honey, led to his development of clinically tested LifeMel honeys. What he did then was to feed the bees specific therapeutic herbs for specific maladies. His reasoning was that the therapeutic herbs have proven to have value but the human body eliminates much of the important ingredients. Instead, by feeding the therapeutic herbs to the bees who ingest them, and through their natural digestive process, the ingredients and their therapeutic properties are incorporated in to the honey giving the herbs a higher level of effectiveness. The product is 100 percent natural and has nothing added to the honey after it is extracted from the beehives.

The result is LifeMel Honey which is produced solely in Israel by ZUF Globus Laboratories under Dr. Gorshit's supervision and is now available in the USA. Dr. Goroshit has developed many different honeys by feeding the bees different formulas of therapeutic herbs. The honeys are then packed without any human touching or further preparation.

In 2006 a clinical study was done using LifeMel Chemo Support honey to determine its effect on chemotherapy patients. Over 66% of the patients in the study experienced higher blood counts, were able to continue with their scheduled chemotherapy program and, generally had an improved quality of life. The conclusion of the study was that LifeMel honey was shown to reduce blood deficiencies for chemotherapy patients and thereby assist in their treatment regimen. The study was published in Medical Oncology, a peer medical journal, and a further clinical trial is now being conducted.

Now he has developed LifeMel Immune in which the bees are fed different therapeutic herbs than the Life Mel Chemo Support to target the immune system. LifeMel immune is also a dark honey (but without the unpleasant aftertaste of buckwheat honey) and designed to help the immune system and fight coughs and colds and reduce their symptoms. LifeMel honey is now being sold in the USA.

One last thing that the Penn State study found, which perhaps is just as important, is that parental sleep improved in a fashion similar to that of their children when using the honey treatment. Sweet, isn't it?

Do You Need to Strengthen Your Immune System?

The immune system is the body’s first line of defense in maintaining health, preventing illness, and hastening recovery. Many people experience a weakened immune system due to poor sleep habits, unhealthy diets, post chemotherapy treatment, or other illnesses or medical conditions such as HIV. Also, with age our immune system weakens, leaving us vulnerable to chronic diseases.With a strong healthy immune response our bodies not only become more resistant to colds, flu, allergies and disease but our quality of life improves.


Research has shown that supplementing the immune system can help us resist some illnesses.

If you are currently feeling the effects of a weakened immune system, no matter what the cause, we have a natural solution. Zuf Globus laboratories in Israel, has gone beyond the call of duty in helping people improve the quality of their lives. Thirty years of research with an all natural approach of feeding special nectars to bees, thereby producing different types of honey, led to this development of clinically tested LifeMel Chemo Support.

Life Mel Immune Support was developed to work specifically on the immune system. For those who have completed chemotherapy treatments and no longer use Chemo Support, yet wish to continue with a an immune support regime, LifeMel Immune Support is your answer. Having less natural ingredients than Life Mel Chemo Support it is less potent and costs less. Yet it does what you are looking for—supports your immune system.

Long term usage of LifeMel Immune (one teaspoon in the morning and one teaspoon in the evening) can result in an improvement in the functionality of the immune system and in the body’s ability to resist infections and disease.

-Assist the body in recuperation and convalescence
-Support the natural ability of the immune system to maintain energy levels and fight fatigue
-An immune system boost
-100% natural
-Easy to take

LifeMel Honey Offers a Health Solution for Thousands of African Americans

Word is out that groundbreaking LifeMel honey can be a of great advantage for the many number of cancer patients in the African American community.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) January 31, 2008 -- Word is out that groundbreaking LifeMel honey can be a of great advantage for the many number of cancer patients in the African American community. As many people know, the rate of African American men affected by cancer is 15% higher than white men and the death rate is 38% higher. So what do these sufferers have to gain from a little bit of honey?

Developed in Israel and now being distributed in the USA, LifeMel Honey has had a positive impact on chemotherapy patients. While accomplishing its primary task of killing fast-growing cancer cells, chemotherapy treatment can harm healthy cells. When the healthy cells are affected or harmed, there are unpleasant side effects, including low blood cell levels. If the blood levels drop too low, cancer patients are unable to continue chemotherapy. Without being able to continue the chemotherapy treatments they risk the cancer taking over and an uncertain future.

In a clinical trial published last year in the Journal of Oncology, 64 percent of patients showed a decrease in anemia and the incidence of severe neutropenia (an abnormally low white cell count). In addition, the honey was found to lower the incidence of potentially fatal thrombocytopenia (low platelets). "The patients taking part in this trial were the kind who had no other solution," says Yaron Shmueli a spokesman for the American distributor New Horizon, LLC. "They had already taken shots to boost their immune system and these had failed." Shmueli said that further testimonials and the clinical trials as well as other information on LifeMel honey were available on the USA website, www.lifemelusa.com

LifeMel Honey could be the solution they are looking for. Lifemel keeps their blood levels up and keeps them healthy enough to finish their chemotherapy treatments. "This is a fantastic story about how bees can help treat cancer patients," says Shmueli. "People who have to undergo chemothera-py don't have too many alternatives. We are trying to help them."

Now, although the number of cancer patients is so high for African Americans, there is a solution to help alleviate some of the concerns these patients face on a daily basis. They have so much to deal with already without the fear that they may not be able to continue with their chemotherapy treatment due to low blood cell levels.

Introducing an Israeli Honey that Offers Hope to Cancer Patients

Shmueli had tried desperately to find some kind of therapy - holistic, natural or conventional - for his father-in-law, who was suffering from carcinoma of the digestive system. Nothing worked and his father-in-law died. LifeMel Honey, Shmueli realized, could have been an answer. He was galvanized into action, and today he and his US partner Moshe Begim have founded New Horizon, to exclusively distribute the honey in the United States.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) -- Yaron Shmueli was on his way home on an airplane when he first read an article on LifeMel Honey, a new natural immune system treatment developed in Israel for cancer patients. It touched a nerve. Years earlier Shmueli had tried desperately to find some kind of therapy - holistic, natural or conventional - for his father-in-law, who was suffering from carcinoma of the digestive system. Nothing worked and his father-in-law died.

LifeMel Honey, Shmueli realized, could have been an answer. He was galvanized into action, and today he and his US partner Moshe Begim have founded New Horizon, to exclusively distribute the honey in the United States.

It took 30 years of research to develop LifeMel Honey. Produced by bees fed on a special nectar derived from 40 therapeutic herbs including Siberian ginseng, Echinacea, uncaria tomentosa, and other natural ingredients such as iron, protein and vitamins, the honey has been shown in a clinical trial to be effective in decreasing the incidence of anemia in cancer patients undergoing chemothera-py.

In the trial on 30 patients, carried out at Sieff Hospital in Tzvat by Prof. Jamal Ziden, Dr. Moshe Stein of Rambam Hospital and Prof. Eitan Friedman of Sheba Medical Center, 64 percent of the patients showed a decrease in anemia and the incidence of severe neutropenia. In addition, the honey was found to lower the incidence of potentially fatal thrombocytopenia (low platelets).

"The patients taking part in this trial were the kind who had no other solution," says Shmueli. "They had already taken shots to boost their immune system and these had failed."

The honey has no side effects and is completely natural - other than collecting the honey from the hive and packing it, the honey is not artificially treated in any way. Patients are recommended to eat two teaspoons a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. The benefits, according to Shmueli, can be felt in as little as six or seven days.

Many think of the honey as a lifesaver and there are numerous testimonials affirming just that. Apart from celebrities such as Sienna Miller and Kylie Minogue who are said to be huge fans, many ordi-nary people suffering cancer have reported enormous benefits to their health and quality of life.

Dr. Heime Geffen, a 76-year-old Canadian claims he made a remarkable recovery from leukaemia, after taking the honey. Diagnosed with the illness in October 2006 after radiation therapy for another form of cancer, his doctors abandoned chemotherapy in February of this year because his blood counts were too low.

"I had deteriorated physically to the point where I was virtually bedridden," says Geffen, a former family doctor. "I couldn't eat, I had sores in my mouth and I felt dreadful."

In April he began taking the honey twice a day on the recommendation of his son-in-law who had heard about it from an oncologist in Israel. Within a week, he said he began feeling stronger and his blood counts began to improve. By mid May they were virtually normal. Within months he was back on the golf course.

The company is also researching new potential honey treatments including one for AIDS sufferers, and another for treating women going through menopause. Clinical trials are now taking place on both these new honeys, and should be completed within the next few months.

How do bees produce the Unique LifeMel honey?

"Zuf Globus Laboratories Ltd." prepares an all natural mixture for controlled feeding of bees based on natural honey and adding extracts of various edible plants [therapeutic herbs] to produce this unique natural honey. The mixture of natural honey together with the edible plants' extract, substitutes the pollen that is available to bees in nature and, from it the bees produce a new type of honey, with therapeutic properties, respective to the types of therapeutic herbs that were incorporated into the feed mixture.

This method enables Zuf Globus to control the precise doses of desired food types with which to feed the bees and, ultimately, produce honeys, whose properties are predesigned yet improved through the synergetic effect of being formed in the bee's body.
