Daniel K Conners Race to Cure Cancer and One Mans Vision of Bio-Technology.

By Daniel K Conners

He could never have guessed the impact his work would have on the world of cancer treatment when Daniel K Conners started his humble bio-technology company from his home in the 1990s.

The entirely new cancer treatment envisioned by Conners so long ago is still being tested in the clinic, but the initial results are attracting serious attention from leading oncologists and pharmaceutical firms. This targeted immunotherapy drug works synergistically with monoclonal antibodies to take on innate immune cells with the goal of killing cancer.

Excited about the possibility of the technology to significantly advance the outcomes for cancer patients, researchers such as Daniel K Conners feel that Biothera is on the forefront of carbohydrate biotechnology and its relevance for a cancer cure.

In addition to developing cancer drugs, Biothera (led by Conners) has an immune health ingredient business based on the same technology platform. It manufactures and markets food-grade (non-pharmaceutical) ingredients for foods, beverages, dietary supplements, cosmetics and animal nutrition. This is a growing business with tremendous opportunities to deliver our immune-enhancing technologies in every day products, said Conners.

Biotheras intellectual property includes more than 40 U.S. patents and patents pending, plus additional patent filings in more than 20 other countries. Currently, with Conners at the helm, the company has more than 50 employees, with over half focused on the research and development of the companys technology platform in the companys labs at its headquarters in Eagan, Minnesota.

Biopolymer Engineering, Inc was founded by Daniel K Conners in 1997 and later renamed Biothera. Biothera now focuses on the manufacturing and improvement of innate complex carbohydrates. Bioploymer Engineering was recognized as a principal in the purification, characterization and production of a variety of carbohydrates. However, Biotheras platform technology carbohydrate predates the company.

According to Conners, researchers at various universities for decades have studied certain carbohydrates in fungi, cereals and bacteria and have identified a link between these polysaccharides and immune activity. But prior to Biothera, no one had successfully delineated the specific mechanism of action these carbohydrates use to effect immune function. - 17269

Vegetarianism and Bruising, What Can You Tell Me That I Need to Know?

By Carolyn Cooper

Whether you are already a vegetarian or you are thinking about becoming one, you may be a little concerned about the effect that vegetarianism can have on your body, with some special attention on easy bruising. The truth of the matter is that while there is an urban legend that says that people who are vegetarians are prone to bruising, there is no reason that a little careful attention to your diet can eliminate it.

Right off the bat, we need to determine why the theory of vegetarians having a tendency for bruising exists to begin with. Normally, if a vegetarian, especially a younger one, is afflicted with bruising, this is seen as as indication of a deficiency for some vitamin. This can, and in some situations does, happen, but if you exercise strict attention to your diet and be certain that you are obtaining all of the foods and nutrients that your body requires, you shouldn't have a problem. There are a wide variety of problems that can take place if you are not getting the vitamins and minerals that you need, but there is no more likelihood that a vegetarian diet will promote bruising any more than any other diet.

If you are employing a vegetarian diet, and you have found that you have a tendency toward increased bruising, you'll find that primary thing that you might want to examine is the amount of iron contained in your diet. Iron is a necessary mineral when you are trying to supplement your immune system and enhance better circulatory health. Iron is found much more readily in animal products than it is in vegetables, though it is certainly available, just in lesser quantities.

If you are following a vegan diet, are you aware of the best ways to increase iron in your diet? Start off by looking for dark green vegetables that are available at a local produce stand or farmers' market. Vegetables that include spinach and broccoli are going to be heavy in iron, as will soy products, molasses, prunes and any cereals and breads that have been fortified with iron. Another clever way to be assured that you are going to increase iron in your diet is to start cooking with cast iron pots and pans.

Increasing your intake of vitamin C is another important way to increase the rate of iron absorption into your body. Vitamin C is really important in host of different aspects, so there are a multitude of reasons to raise your daily intake. Fruits are the most common source of vitamin C, of course, but more dinner and meal oriented vegetables, like sweet potatoes also provide added vitamin C.

If you are a practicing vegan, it is essential that you make certain that you will be able to maintain a balanced diet, and your easy bruising can be an indication that you need to pay more attention to your diet. Keep in mind what your body is trying to show you, and make sure that you are eating properly so that you will stay healthy. - 17269

Weight Loss And Apples And Pears What

By Diana A Alexander

Obesity and being overweight is reaching prevalent proportions these days. Many people need to lose weight. Some people want to lose weight for visual reasons, so that they can look fine in a bikini but other people need to lose weight so that they can preserve their health.

We all carry our additional body fat a little differently. One individual may have thunder thighs with a generous butt and a slighter upper body so she is shaped like a pear, while the next individual will carry it all around the middle, in the abdominal region so that she is shaped more like an apple on a stick. The way we hold our body fat contributes greatly to our good health.

Women who are pear-shaped and hold all of their additional weight in their butt and thighs have a health advantage over the women who are apple shaped. They may strive more with finding the clothes that fit and they may still have body image issues but they do not have the health problems that bother the apple-shaped women. The fat that accumulates on your butt and your thighs is not necessarily a health problem.

The fat that accumulates around the belly region puts the person at hazard for things like heart disease and cardiovascular problems, diabetes and other health risks. The problem is that the fat in the belly section collects around the internal organs. This prevents the organs from performing optimally. If you are pear-shaped you escape this difficulty because there are no internal organs in your butt and thighs.

In order to find out is you are an apple or a pear shape you need to figure your waist-hip ratio. Divide your waist measurement in inches by your hip measurement in inches. If the result is 0.8 or less you are shaped like a pear and if it is more than 0.8 then you are an apple shape. For example, you can take a 28-inch waist and divide it by a 38-inch hip and the result is 0.73 or a pear shape while that same hip of 38 inch with a 32-inch waist computes out to a 0.84 or an apple shape.

A pear may have body image issues and she may fight with her body type but she is not really facing significant health risks, which is not the case for an apple-shaped individual. If you are apple-shaped it is much more crucial that you drop the weight. Try increasing your cardio exercises and concentrate on consuming a fiber-rich diet with more fruits, vegetables, beans and legumes and lean protein sources such as fish and skinless chicken.

If you are an apple shape on the other hand, you do have an benefit in the weight loss department. Excess fat around your center region tends to come off much quicker and easier than the fat in the butt and thighs. Butt and thigh fat is much more obstinate and it takes much more resolution to get it to finally come off.

You cannot manage the type of body that you have and how you hold surplus fat but you can do whatever is possible to prevent the excess fat in the first place or lose it if you already have it. - 17269

Why Not Take Advantage of Supplements to Get Trim Naturally?

By Thong M. Dao

We must not understate the role of physical exertion to our health and fitness, but we can also enjoy the health and physical fitness benefits by taking supplements. Not all supplements are produced equal, therefore picking out the correct ones goes a long way to aid our bodies stay healthy.

Let's look at a couple of the things that we can pick out which can help us in this way. You might be astounded to discover that this will work for you also.

There are supplements that will arouse your metabolism naturally and lead to weight reduction. You could also consume some food that will result in the lowering of your appetite in a natural way.

Green tea extract or tea bags will do a lot for your metabolism and help you burn fat on a consistent basis. Growing in the desert areas of Africa are cacti known as Hoodia Gordonii. Basically working as an appetite suppressant, this plant will deceive your brain into believing that you are full and no longer hungry.

You may also find that employing supplements will help to balance out your body. All of us are dealing with vitamin deficiencies unless we have been taking supplements for a while.

Make sure that you're having plenty of vitamin C and vitamin B in your daily regime. These will assist you to get your fitness goals and help keep your body in check. You ought to take vitamin supplements your whole life to ward off a vitamin imbalance.

Another way in which supplements can help you is to clean your body of free radicals. These free radicals are in our body as a consequence of bad eating options as well as our exposure to outside environment.

Our body can be pushed out of balance and cell damage can be induced by this. Employing strong antioxidants, for example, green tea, will aid in making the body physically fit and well. - 17269

Review of the Sanyo SR1000 Massage Chair

By James Knolan

Sanyo has a full range of massage chairs in their product line. We are going to take an in depth view of the entry level model for Sanyo. The model SR 1000K is the subject of this product review. Our reviews are systematic and we judge any massage chair is five critical areas. We give a point rating of up to twenty points per area for a total possible score of 100. This is the SR-1000K massage chair recliner by Sanyo.

Warranty Coverage & Customer Service: First let us get the driest part of the review out of the way first-the warranty coverage. OK, we all know that warranty coverage is important in complicated machines like massage chairs. But what kind of coverage do you get from Sanyo? Sanyo provides the same warranty for all its chairs. The good news is that it adds up to good coverage for an entry level chair. You get 3 years of warranty for the roller mechanism, 1 year parts and labor, and 1 year in home service. There is also a call center for issues, should they arise. We give the SR1000 a 19 for its warranty.

Comfort & Ergonomics: The science of ergonomics is the study of things can be designed to fit the human body. In other words, we have natural ranges of motion and buttons, controls, etc. need to be within those ranges. The buttons on the remote are a decent size for most fingers. The main power is located on the side of the chair which is ergonomic but you still have to remember. The leg rest has a foot extension that needs to be flipped by your feet. Sanyo could work these things out a little better in our opinion. We give it a 17 overall.

Ease of Use: This is perhaps a category because it is a pet peeve of ours. Let's face it our world is getting more complex and so are the devices in it. It is the responsibility of the maker of these items to keep it simple. We found the remote to have too many steps to get what you want compared to other massage chairs. This was surprising given that it was a Sanyo. But nevertheless, it is what it is. We rate the SR-1000 a 16 for ease of use.

Key Features: This massage chair comes with the Sanyo stiffness detector. The stiffness detector uses technology borrowed from lie detectors. The stiffness detector in the SR 1000 can sense tightness in the muscles of the body and other points of stress. The user holds the side of the remote and the chair can detect these areas of stiffness. The chair will then target these areas for relief. The other interesting feature is the shape sensor. The shape sensor takes a measurement of the position of the shoulders. The chair then identifies where the shoulders are at and adjusts the massage accordingly. The rollers width will then become less when it gets to your shoulders and for your neck area. These are some advanced electronic features that are unique to Sanyo. We give a rating of 18 for key features.

Massage Therapy: This is the most important category, since this is what a massage chair is all about. The SR 1000K comes with the following manual massage techniques: massage, tapping, combination, stretch 1 and stretch 2. The massages can be used in combination with the stretch 1 and stretch 2 functions. There are 2 automatic programs which are Relax and Recovery. First you choose the massage and then you can select the region of the body to target. You can select neck/shoulder, upper body, or waist. The SR1000K also comes with a calf and foot massager. The leg rest can be used directly for the calves. You must flip the foot massager out to use the foot massager. The leg rest allows you to target the following regions: calves, back of the knees, soles of the feet and the Achilles tendon/heal. The leg rest roller mechanism provides effective massage to the calves and the back of the knees. We rate the massage therapy of the SR-1000 a 17.

So how does the Sanyo SR1000K rate overall? In our review it gets an 87/100 points. We like the warranty and that gives you confidence that it will last. The electronic features are interesting, but they seem to be at the expense of more massage treatments. There are only 2 automatic programs, which seem a bit light compared to other massage chairs. The look of the chair is a little different, because the main power is located on the side. The aesthetics are nice otherwise. This is an interesting massage chair and is worth checking out. - 17269

Extra Acai Berry Diet Advice

By Pamela Baker

One of the world's best "superfoods" is a small, little berry that is grown only in the rainforests of Brazil. The acai berry (pronounced ah-sigh-ee) berry has been touted as a miracle food for anti-aging, weight loss, disease prevention and more.

Lots of of these claims are probably highly exaggerated since there are many, many highly nutritious "superfoods" found in nature and there is no single "miracle" food that can cure all that ails you. The acai berry is just another in a long line of nutritious foods.

The acai berry does boast some of the highest antioxidant qualities found on the planet. It has twice as many antioxidants as blueberries and even 10 times as many as red grapes. Not only that but it also has a good supply of monounsaturated fats and essential fatty acids in the forms of oleic acid and Omega 3, 6 and 9. It is also loaded with healthy dietary fiber and phytosterols.

All in all the acai berry is an extremely healthy and nutritious food loaded with antioxidants and many of the other nutrients that our bodies long for and require to function at an optimal level. But this berry and the products made from this berry are not the miracle answer to your anti-aging, fat fighting, and disease prevention quest for great health.

It has been proven by science that while it is possible to get antioxidants and other nutrients from supplements it is by far healthier to obtain your nutrients from the consumption of a wholesome diet. Every single one of the nutrients that we need as well as the outstanding nutrients that are found in the acai berry work at their optimal levels when combined with other nutrients. In nutrition the synergy of the whole beats a single nutrient every time.

Thus if you want to get the highest benefit from the acai berry you need to include it as part of a balanced, highly nutritious diet that includes many other high antioxidant foods including blueberries, pomegranates, pumpkin, kale, spinach, sweet potatoes and the list goes on and on. And of course, the best advice for diet and for the consumption of all foods including highly nutritious foods is "all things in moderation".

A healthy, balanced and nutritious diet plan can benefit from the addition of acai berries and the related products. The excellent nutritional value and the high antioxidant qualities can aid your body in reducing the effects of aging, losing weight and the prevention of disease but not by working alone and only as an integral part of a complete healthy diet.

Because when it comes to nutrition the synergy of the whole range of nutrients is by far more successful than the singularity of just one food no matter how nutritious that food may be and moderation is always the key. - 17269

How to lose weight fast

By Kelly Williams

There are some strategies you can follow for safe, quick and effective weight loss, but first, let's go over a few common-sense rules. These rules may have been mentioned in tons of other places but the fact remains that they do work.

Those who don't already exercise can benefit tremendously from starting a fitness program. If possible you should work out five days a week, but no fewer than three. Beginners can start by walking briskly.

If you get fewer than seven hours of sleep nightly, you should make more of an effort to get enough rest. Proper sleeping habits will give you increased energy, as well as keeping your metabolism elevated.

Adequate rest will allow you to keep your metabolism fired up, and it will also give you the energy for those weekly workouts. Aim for no less than seven hours of sleep per night.

Eat your veggies, and fruits too. A lot of diet plans say the same thing- because it's time-tested advice that works. Switch to whole grain foods. Why? Fiber is an essential part of any low-calorie diet.If your diet is rich in whole grains, you'll enjoy steady blood sugar and energy levels throughout the day. They also keep you full longer, and they are relatively low calorie.

There are some foods that boost metabolism naturally. Oatmeal, spicy foods, and green tea will all raise your body's natural calorie-burning abilities. Incorporate them into your diet for a natural calorie-burning boost.

When you've done these basic things, it will be much easier for you to naturally lose weight quickly. While this plan isn't a "cure all", it will provide steady weight loss if you stick with it. - 17269

Use Eternal RezV To Lose Weight Fast

By Dennis Winn

In the media as well as the news, resveratrol has been making a huge splash.

Television shows like Oprah have even gone as far as to recommend viewers to take this amazing supplement because of its great proven benefits.

60 Minutes, the popular television program, first investigated red wine 17 years ago. They were particularly interested in why the French were so thin despite a diet high in such foods like cheese. Red wine, as we know now, is a drink that is full of resveratrol. We now know that resveratrol was very important to staying healthy.

Scientific studies also have proved this. For example, in one study, two mice were raised with the same high carb diet except one was given a resveratrol supplement while the other one did not receive such supplement.

After time had passed, they were both weighed and it was found that the mouse that had received the resveratrol supplement was 30% thinner than the other mouse that had had the same life and diet except for the resveratrol supplement.

About 40-50% of the nutrients in food is asorbed by our bodies when we eat. The excess is stored in fat cells for example. This often results in toxins being present in our bodies.

Resveratrol is an anti-oxidant and so it is able to get rid of these toxins in our bodies and make us healthy and thin again. Even after only a short time of use, resveratrol can have these great effects.

If you are interested in getting positive effects from resveratrol, you should consider a resveratrol supplement like Eternal RezV. At the time of this writing, Eternal RezV is even being offered as a free trial so you can give it a shot and see the results before having to spend a dime on it! - 17269

Great Bodybuilding Routines

By Wakelin Smith

Proper bodybuilding routines must possess some important characteristics, namely; right duration, enough rest, proper reps, and variation.This means that bodybuilding is not a hit and miss affair. A bodybuilder only needs to have a correct undestanding of proper bodybuilding routines. With this knowledge plus the right determination to carry out the right workout, any bodybuilder will surely have a worry-free time in building muscle mass while at the gym.

Any bodybuilder, either a beginner or a professional, must learn to keep his weight training routine among his important priorities. With this, he must keep in mind that any desired muscle mass buildup only comes as a result of determination and patience. Desired results from weight training do not happen overnight. He must learn to stick with a program to gain the muscle size and strength he wants.

Ask any profesional weight trainer and he will tell you that there is no need to spend 3 hours a day in the gym to build muscle mass. In fact, spending that much time inside the gym while exerting the muscles will likely lead to overtraining. This means that every weight trainer must keep his workouts as efficient as possible. The really good bodybuilders know that the amount of time spent inside the gym does not guarantee muscle mass. Spending too much time inside the gym will only be counter productive. It is crucial to keep weight training workouts under an hour and a half (or better yet, and hour) and performing them 3 or 4 times a week. This way the body will get enough rest to grow bigger and stronger.

There are a few tips for a proper bodybuilding routines. One, they must be kept short. This means that it should be between 45 to 75 minutes maximum while the best should be 60 minutes being best. The reason for this is simple. Training more than 75 minutes will prevent the body from gaining muscle and losing fat fast! Also, this long training will also prevent the body from a fast recovery. This is one occasion when more is not necessarily better for huge bodybuilding gains.

Two, keep to a minimum the rest in between sets. This means that rest must be somewhere between 90 seconds or less. This rest time is ideal in improving the cardiovascular system as well as helps the body to perform a lot of work and still finish within the ideal time of 75 minutes. Also, it has also been known that this kind of training stimulates the most growth hormones outputs.

Third, the sets should be between 8 - 15 repetitions for muscle mass gains while for body sculpting purposes it must be 15-25 repetitions. Some reasons support this range in reps.

It has been shown in studies that muscle building and fat burning occur more efficiently at these repetition ranges. Another reason is that since the body is doing so many repetitions, there is less probability of injury because the lifter will be using a weight that he can control. Also, Because the best blood pump to flow into the muscle cells are within these repetition ranges then this is important since along with the blood come nutrients that nourish the muscle cells and help them recover and rebuild bigger faster.

Lastly, a weight trainer ahs to keep his training varied and cycled. It is not wise to get stuck with the same routine because this results in zero muscle growth. Therefore, proper bodybuilding routines must possess four characteristics, namely; right duration, enough rest, proper reps, and variation. - 17269

Muscle Building Made Simple - A Powerful Concept

By Josh Owen

If you're looking for an easy way to finally build muscle mass, you've found the perfect article. I'm not sure why anyone wouldn't want to build muscle. Muscle makes life so much easier. You feel better, have higher energy levels, you're stronger, and you're healthier. You can use this one simple but powerful technique to build muscle quickly.

Do you realize how important muscle is to your daily life. You use your muscles continuously throughout the day. No matter what you're doing, your muscle mass is being used to help your body perform its functions. Muscle helps your body function properly while body fat works against your body. I can guarantee that you'll feel much better with more muscle and less body fat.

If you've been looking for the secret to building muscle, you're lucky you decided to read this article. If you apply the powerful concept I'm going to tell you about in just a minute, you will begin to get very fast results. Here you go:

The first thing you've got to do is start a weight training program. The second step you must take is eat the correct foods and the proper amount of those foods. Diet and nutrition is vital, but I want to discuss a powerful method that relates to your weightlifting program.

The single most important factor in building muscle consistently throughout a weight lifting program is to start the program with light weights on every exercise. Then, increase the weight each and every workout. You don't have to go to failure every workout just to build muscle. The increase in load is enough to casue the proper muscle building stimulus. You will start with light weights and higer reps and increase the weight while decreasing the number of reps. Do this over the course of the weightlifting program.

As you increase the weight each workout, you continuously provide your body with a new muscle building stimulus. You aren't wasting your efforts in the gym any more because you're making progress each and every workout. You will begin to see increases in muscle size if you're eating enough of the proper foods.

After you use this method of increasing the weight each weight training session, you'll soon reach a point in which it's hard to increase the weight. Fight hard for a few more weeks only increasing a a small amount each workout, and then take a one week break from weight lifting. Then start over! It's that simple. That is the quickest way to gain muscle size.

You must focus on gaining weight if you want to to gain muscle mass fast. Ensure you're eating enough of the best food sources for building muscle. Focus on building 1 to 2 pounds each week while using the muscle building technique we discussed. - 17269
