Live 30-60% Longer?

Whey Protein Concentrate is made from cow’s milk. Mice and hamsters fed whey protein concentrate live 30-60% longer than others fed standard diets or diets containing other protein sources. This may be due to the increased blood levels of glutathione that result from ingesting whey protein. http://www.lef.org/magazine/mag96/96jan2.htm?GO.X=11\&GO.Y=15

Alternative Cancer Therapy

Tom — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 21:52:54 +0000

This site discusses the treatment by Dr Warburg. “Over seventy-five years ago Dr. Otto Warburg published a Nobel Prize winning paper describing the environment of the cancer cell. A normal cell undergoes an adverse change when it can no longer take up oxygen to convert glucose into energy by oxidation. In the absence of oxygen the cell reverts to a primitive nutritional program to sustain itself, converting glucose, by fermentation. The lactic acid produced by fermentation lowers the cell pH (acid/alkaline balance) and destroys the ability of DNA and RNA to control cell division… the cancer cells begin to multiply unchecked. The lactic acid simultaneously causes intense local pain and destroys cell enzymes. Therefore, cancer appears as a rapidly growing outer cell mass with a core of dead cells.” http://cancertutor.com/Cancer/Alkaline.html
