Vitamin E Increases Cancer Risk?

ChiroACCESS Editorial Staff

Numerous studies have investigated the possible role of vitamin E in cancer prevention. Early studies cast a favorable light on preventing prostate as well as other forms of cancer. However, the most recent report provided in the October 2011 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association provides unexpected and somewhat astounding findings.

Research Status of Resveratrol

Dwain M. Daniel, D.C.

Prior to the year 2000 only 180 articles on resveratrol had been indexed in PubMed. Since 2000 an additional 4080+ articles have been indexed. Why the major surge in interest? It could be because preliminary evidence suggests resveratrol may be an effective intervention in the prevention or treatment of Alzheimer’s disease, cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, back pain and the aging process.

The Role of Nutrition in Breast Cancer Prevention and Survival

ChiroACCESS Editorial Staff

About 12% of women in the U.S. will develop invasive breast cancer at some point in their life and experts project that about 40,000 women will die in 2011 from breast cancer. There is a strong association between some vitamins and the ability to prevent breast cancer. In addition to prevention, there is also a strong association between nutrition and vitamin intake and the survival rates for those with cancer.

ChiroACCESS Editorial Staff

Most recognize the adverse effects of carbonated and non-carbonated sweetened drinks but few recognize the extent to which these beverages contribute to ill health and early death.

The Primary Prevention of Breast Cancer

ChiroACCESS Editorial Staff

Primary prevention of cancers is a serious challenge but there are numerous studies that provide a reason for optimism. Although factors outside our control like genetics can play a role as a breast cancer risk, women as well as men can actively engage in behaviors that have been demonstrated to be extremely important in preventing breast and other cancers.

“A new era in medical science has dawned with the realization of the critical role of the ‘forgotten organ’, the enteric microbiota, in generating a variety of functions which sustain health and, when disrupted, lead to disease.” These helpful microbes, or probiotics, that cohabitate in the human gut are getting a lot of recent attention from the research community.

Prevention and Treatment of Common Conditions with the Mediterranean Diet

ChiroACCESS Editorial Staff

A review of the scientific literature since January 2010 reveals a contribution of over 100 new studies supporting the value of the Mediterranean Diet (MD). The evidence is so compelling for the primary and secondary prevention of a host of common conditions that recommending MD or a similar diet should be considered with all patients as part of a chiropractic “wellness” program.

A Cornucopia of Slings and Arrows: Straw Men on Parade

Anthony L. Rosner, Ph.D., LL.D.[Hon.], LLC

Preventing the Common Cold

ChiroACCESS Editorial Staff

Cold prevention research was the emphasis of several studies in 2009. This work included both new clinical trials and additional reviews of past literature. The status of Vitamin C remains the same. It may decrease the duration of common colds but the evidence does not support a role in prevention.

As the chiropractic profession moves into the 21st century a renewed emphasis is being placed on the concept of the wellness practice.

The "D" Debate

Dwain M. Daniel, D.C.

The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for vitamin D is set at 200 IU per day for individuals up to age 50 in the United States. These recommendations were developed in the 1940’s and were based on levels necessary to prevent rickets. No consideration was given at that time to the possible long term effects that dosing at a low level may produce over a lifetime.
