Re: BANDLET HAMLET fight 40 diff cancer lines

Wow. Thinking of the expression, " Information is your best friend " , it looks

like we have a crowd here.

However, while it is good to research and follow-up on new information, it does

need to be put in its proper perspective and not necessarily something to jump

right into. For example, the piece on EPA (Fish Oil and Cognitive benefits),

the piece states:

" Dangour and his team randomly assigned 748 men and women in their 70s - none of

whom had any dementia or other impairment of mental function - to take 200

milligrams of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) plus 300 mg docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)

every day for two years or a placebo capsule containing olive oil. EPA and DHA

are the two main omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil. " It went on to say,

neither group had a significant change in cognitive function. Oh? There was

nothing wrong with them to begin with according to the study so what change

would one expect?

The Prescription Fish Oil Capsules found in my house, which my wife takes, has

in each capsule: 465 mgs EPA and 375 mgs DHA and if one were taking two a day

they would be getting a lot more than what the 'study' was involved with. She

is using a prescription form to help assure purity which has recently surfaced

as an issue we need to be concerned with. I say 'help' because I have no lab

facilities to test them myself.

L. Stoll, M.D., Director Psychopharmacology Research Laboratory, McLean

Hospital Faculty, Harvard Medical School uses EPA/DHA extensively in his effort

at helping people with various brain issues.

This is why studies can be problematic if one is going to rely upon them for

their own care and yet we can take advantage of the various studies provided we

research more than relying on one report for the basis of our own care. This

particular post had a lot of links and can provide one with a lot of areas to

research. However one can learn a lot if we have an 'open mind' but not so

open our brains fall out. We often hear that for every study, a broad

generalization, there is a contradictory study. Many of the so-called studies

are nothing more than lab work showing cancer-cells might be killed by such and

such. Additionally we read about something today and never hear of it again.

Use the " information is your best friend " approach but don't stop when you read

something promising. Promises promises.
