Taking Multivitamins May Help You Live Longer

clinicalnutrition Research published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that the cells of multivitamin users may have a younger blood cell age than the cells of non-users.

The researchers examined the length of women’s telomeres, which are located at the end of each cell. Each time the cell reproduces, the telomere shortens and when it’s totally gone, the cell dies.

The researchers analyzed the multivitamin use, nutrient intake and telomere length in 586 women. The daily multivitamin users’ telomeres were on average 5.1% longer. This result means that taking a multivitamin may be one of the easiest things you can do to increase your cells’ longevity.

Treating Cancer SUCCESSFULY

Dr. Julian Whitaker is a firm advocate for a cure for cancer Burzynski2 developed by Dr. Stanislaw Burzynski. Dr. Burzynski has had great success treating thousands of patients who had dozens of types of cancer.

Dr. Whitaker was excited to announce in the April 2009 issue of his Health and Healing newsletter that the FDA has granted Dr. Burzynski permission to proceed with phase III clinical trials on the most deadly of all cancers – diffuse brainstem glioma (DBSG).
The two year survival rate for this particular cancer using conventional treatments is 7%; the five year survival rate is zero.

However, patients treated at the Burzynski Clinic have a two year survival rate of 38% and a five year survival rate of 19%!

When you separate out the group that did not receive any conventional treatments (surgery, chemo, radiation) and only received the Burzynski treatment, the survival rate for two years jumped to 49% and the five year rate increased to 31%!

When you consider that the conventional rate for five years is 0% and the Burzynski five year rate is 31%, you are looking at a major, MAJOR, breakthrough in cancer treatment.

Other cancers that have been successfully treated at his clinic include - pancreatic cancer, liver cancer, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, prostate, breast and ovary cancer.

You can contact the clinic at (713) 335-5697 and you can go to these websites: www.burzynskiclinic.com and www.burzynskipatientgroup.org.
