Fish Oil Linked to Lower Breast Cancer Risk

Study Shows Fish Oil Supplements May Cut Risk of Invasive Ductal Breast Cancer

By Denise Mann

Posted by Dr. Troy M Dreiling  www.absolutelife,com

July 8, 2010 -- Taking fish oil supplements may help reduce breast cancer risk, shows a preliminary study in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention.

In the study of 35,016 older women with no history of breast cancer, those who reported currently taking fish oil supplements on a regular basis had a 32% reduced risk for developing invasive ductal breast cancer, compared with women who did not take fish oil supplements.

"There is some limited evidence from my study and others that fish oil may be good for preventing breast cancer, but there is not sufficient evidence to make a public health recommendation right now," cautions study researcher Emily White, PhD, an epidemiologist at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle. "If you are taking fish oil now for other reasons, this is reassuring that it may have beneficial effects beside what you are taking it for," she says. Many people currently take fish oil supplements to decrease their risk for heart disease.

In the study, 880 women developed breast cancer during six years of follow-up. The use of fish oil was linked to lower risk of invasive ductal breast cancer. Ductal breast cancer is the most common type of breast cancer and forms in the milk ducts. Lobular breast cancer forms in the milk glands. Researchers did not have information on the doses of fish oil that were taken by women in the study.

Exactly how fish oil may affect breast cancer risk is not fully understood, but it may be related to its strong anti-inflammatory properties. Some research suggests that inflammation plays a role in the development of breast and other cancers. Other studies have not found a link between eating more fatty fish and breast cancer risk, but it may be that the amount of omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil supplements is much higher than what is typically found in the diet.

Other supplements were not linked to breast cancer risk in the new study, including black cohosh, dong quai, soy, and St. John's wort, which are often taken to relieve some of the symptoms of menopause.

The new research is part of the Vitamins and Lifestyle (VITAL) study, which included data from women 50 to 76 years old from Washington state.

Second Opinion

"This study is one of the largest studies that have come out showing that there may be role for fish oil in the prevention of cancer, specifically breast cancer," says Lorenzo Cohen, MD, director of the Integrative Medicine Program and chief of the section of integrative medicine in the department of general oncology at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston.

"It is most likely useful for cardiovascular risks, and the jury is still out on whether it helps in the prevention of breast cancer, but it's not going to hurt," he says.

Second Opinion continued...

It's buyer beware when it comes to choosing fish oil supplements, he says.

"Some products may be contaminated with heavy metals," he says. "If you are not going to get fish oil from the fish itself, do appropriate homework to make sure you choose a reputable product," he says.

Peiying Yang, PhD, an assistant professor of integrative medicine at M.D. Anderson, recently received a grant to study how fish oil supplements affect lung cancer risk. "Fish oil, in general, is a very good anti-inflammatory agent, and inflammation plays a role in cancer development," she says.

The new findings are "interesting and provocative," says Bette Caan, DrPh, a senior research scientist at the Kaiser Permanente Northern California Division of Research in Oakland. "I would not recommend that people start taking fish oil specifically to prevent breast cancer because the data is just not there yet, but if they are taking it for other reasons, they should continue."

Could adrenal fatigue be causing your weight problem?

by Dr. Troy M. Dreiling

•    Do you feel bone tired during the day, only to perk up at night?
•    Do you tend to nod off at the movies, at meetings, or while reading during the daytime?
•    Do you love to snack in the evening and frequently stay up late into the night?
•    Do you feel hungry, confused, or shaky when under pressure during the day?
•    Do you habitually rely on caffeine and high-carb snacks to boost your flagging energy?
•    Have you noticed a “spare tire” growing larger and larger around your waist each year?
•    Are you eating modestly and exercising, but still not losing weight?

If you answered to yes to two or more of the above, adrenal fatigue could lie at the core of your weight gain.

These patients are always surprised when I ask them about the stress in their lives, and they want to know, What does stress have to do with weight gain?

With years of chronic stress the adrenal glands — which govern our stress response, help balance a woman’s blood sugar, and regulate many other of our body’s processes — can become imbalanced, leading to cortisol dominance or deficiency, insulin resistance, and unwanted weight gain. When this happens, it doesn’t matter how many calories you cut from your diet. The body is in crisis mode and is preparing for a famine. To do this, it clings to every calorie and packs it away in case the need arises.

Many women with adrenal imbalance feel like exhaustion is just their natural state of being. Some depend on caffeine and high-carb snacks to get through the day. Others can barely get out of bed. Our adrenal glands are fundamental to our health, and when they are out of balance, the body prepares for disaster the best way it knows how — by storing calories. Genetically, some of us are more predisposed to this than others. But the good news is that if we heal the adrenals, stubborn pounds often fall away without too much effort, and our energy returns.

Let’s take a closer look at the adrenal glands, then talk about solutions for healing yours — and finally getting rid of that stubborn weight.

Make sure you are at the “Sleep/Adrenal/Thyroid talk”.

The Benefits of Alkalizing

by Dr. Troy Dreiling

In combination with the right exercise and hydration, alkalizing can give a boost to your health, whether you are looking to lose weight, gain energy or even conquer allergies.

As a kid your energy never seemed to quit.  You remember what it was like.  Anxious to start the day early.  Running full speed the rest of the day. Only taking a nap because Mom made you, not because you felt you needed it.  So what happened?

Many of our problems today are caused by the typical lifestyle in America. For years, our foods have become more and more processed.  They are further and further away from the way nature intended them to be eaten. Add a sedentary lifestyle and the recipe for ill-health is there!

So how do we make up for our lack of nutrients?  Vitamin supplements of every kind can be found from grocery stores to home based businesses. But even these don't completely solve the problem. Vitamin pills, too, are far removed from a nutrient's natural source of energy. They've been chemically formulated, processed, and compressed into hard, white tablets that contain virtually no electrical charge whatsoever. Most dietitians believe that as little as 3%—and only as much as 15%—of a typical supplement's nutrients are absorbed before they pass out of the body.

Overweight, underweight, allergies and fatigue have all been related to an acidic body environment.  This can be helped by a diet rich in alkalizing foods: 
* Good fats – avocados, coconuts, fresh fish rich in omega-3’s
* Green vegetables – broccoli, spinach, sprouts
* Fruits – lemons, limes, grapefruit, tomatoes
* Salt – Real Salt or kosher sea salt

Foods to Avoid

Meat, Eggs, Sugar, Dairy, Peanuts, Corn, Alcohol, Caffeine, Coffee, Soft Drinks, Mushrooms

Keys to Making it Work

The right type of exercise – 12 minutes of burst training a week is the most contemporary aerobics.  SURGE Training is high intensity, short duration exercise that causes the body to respond with increased hormones and physiology needed to burn fat and produce muscle even after you’ve completed your workout. It’s minimum time with maximum results!

Hydration – Drink alkaline water (pH 9.5 or above) or buy distilled water.  1 liter of water for every 30 pounds you weigh, i.e., 150 pound person needs 5 liters

Eat right – 60 % of your meals should consist on green vegetables, avoiding those foods listed above. Low glycemic berries can we consumed as well as lemons, limes, grapefruit and tomatoes.  Avoid processed meats.

Drink, drink and drink some more!  Green Powder, such as Essante Earth Greens, mixed with water and consumed daily will help with hydration and get the concentrated greens needed to offset foods choices or increase green vegetable and fruit intake.

The Power of Antioxidants for Staying Young

by Dr. Troy M. Dreiling - Maximized Living Mentor

Everyone wants to grow old gracefully.  Some go under the knife to get that youthful look while others opt for a more natural way to maintain that healthful glow.  The way to make peace with age can be found in the types of foods that we eat and the miracle ingredient they contain.

This hidden “miracle” is called antioxidants.  They have graced the pages of magazines, medical journals and every product from hand cream to supplement pills.  But what are antioxidants and what can they do to keep you looking your best?

Antioxidants are substances that fight the aging process that goes on in your body.  They are not produced by the body so to get the benefit of these power-packed substances you must ingest them.  A variety of foods contain antioxidants.

Let’s go back to the beginning.  The body continually replenishes its cells.  Through a process called cellular metabolism, the body produces energy, more cells and repairs any damage.  One by-product of cellular metabolism is unstable molecules called free radicals.

Free radicals are molecules that damage your body.  They are unstable because they are missing an electron.  To get another one and become stable, free radicals will steal electrons from cells.  That theft damages the cells in a variety of ways. 

The results are visible and invisible changes to our bodies.  The development of diseases like cancer, diabetes, arthritis and neurological deficiencies may begin to affect you as you age.  Also, thinner skin wrinkles and brittle bones are a problem.  Free radicals enter our body from outside sources as well: cigarette smoke, radiation and the sun’s UV rays.  The more free radicals we encounter, the greater the damage that can be done.

Antioxidants have been shown to be of great help in the free radical problem.  Antioxidant substances combine with free radicals and neutralize them.  Once they are neutralized, they can no longer do any damage.  Scientists don’t have any idea of a recommended daily dose of antioxidants to correct free radical damage and the diseases that come with age, but they do know that eating foods rich in antioxidants makes a huge difference in how we live.

Where do you find antioxidants?  They are all around us.  Look no further than your local farmer’s market or produce aisle in the grocery store.  Fruits and vegetables contain the principle sources of antioxidants.

Examples of antioxidants include:
* Vitamin C
* Vitamin A
* Vitamin E
* Lutein
* Lycopene
* Beta-carotene

Certain minerals like zinc and selenium also function in the body.  They are not antioxidants but they boost the immune system to fight against free radical damage.

Antioxidants are also found in nuts, legumes, cold water fish, seafood and red meat.  So, eating a varied diet of fruits, vegetables and the foods just named will increase the amount of antioxidants in your system and help reduce the incidence of disease.  Eating fruits and vegetables in their natural form instead of juices brings the benefit of other nutrients found in the foods.  Juices also contain a lot of sugar that is not needed by your body.

Food does more than stave off hunger.  Natural substances found there can cause us to live longer and stay free of disease as we age.

Are you toxic?….Yes you are…..

Are you toxic?….Yes you are…..
We just held our best makeover ever. Those of you that were there saw an amazing line up of healers dedicated to making the world a better place. We started our day with two world class athletes at a wrestling clinic at Heritage High School right here in Vancouver, Washington. Coach Mac was incredible from Heritage and his track record of training and coaching Olympians is awesome. I was in AWWWW, just watching Mr. Lee Kemp, 3 time world champion, and hearing his life story was breathtaking. It was an unbelievable honor to spend the day with him. Ms. Leigh Jaynes, who is training relentlessly for the 2012 Olympic team, was a refreshing spirit. She is the true American Hero and what a great person. I know she will take Gold in 2012 in London please keep her in your thoughts and prayers.  (Makeover PICTURES)

Many of you left going WOW where do I start or what do I do? My first goal of the makeover was to get you aware that the current health model is not working. I am currently reading Dr. Weston Price’s book “Nutrition and Physical Degeneration.” An Eye opening story of the decline of human health and well being. After this weekend, it is even clearer to me that most people have no clue on what to do to get well and to stay well. 95% of all heath care dollars are spent on treating sickness and diseases. Only 5% is spent on health. That needs to change. Currently the average American spends approximately 5% on the promotion of health and wellness. This must change and is the entire focus of what we do and all the Maximized Living doctors’ main goal is to get you WELL and Keep you there for the REST of your life, not just when you have a health crisis or challenge.

I was watching CNN the other day at the gym on the treadmill and they were showing what the average American spends on health insurance each year. I was blow-away to find that it was over $15,000 per year and with the “New Proposed” plan in 2016 it will be in excess of 25,000.00. Many people are forced to get health insurance by an employer as a “benefit” but have to use the companies program. One of my patients said he is paying over $1,500 per month on a health insurance policy that he and his family rarely uses and he can’t get out of it unless he leaves his job. Paul Zan Pilsner wrote a book about what to do with insurance and I highly suggest you read it and apply the principals to your health and life.

Current trends show 30% of American obese and 60% overweight, what are we to do? With kids being sicker than ever and parents stressed more than ever, where do we start? Reducing the chemical stress burdens on your body is a great place to start. Anderson Cooper recently posted a video called, “Toxic Brew”. It is all about the chemical burdens being put on our bodies daily. You will get a glimpse of how all the “unregulated” and regulated chemicals are degenerating us at an alarming rate.

During the Maximized Living Makeover at the Vancouver, Washington Church of Christ I talked about the toxic top 10. I posted on my face book page, “Who wants to know about the toxic top ten?” Many people replied, “YES”, so here it is.

Toxic Top 10

1.    Dishwashing Detergent (Chlorine and Fluoride + PetroChem, Benzene, and Phosphates).

2.    Oven Cleaner (Lye and Ammonia).

3.    Laundry Detergent (Benzene – Causes Leukemia).

4.    Floor and Furniture Polishers (Petroleum Distillates).

5.    Air Fresheners (6 – Chemicals targeted by Gov. that hold the highest priority for neurtoxicity).

6.    Hard-surface Cleaners - especially kitchen cleaners (Petroleum Surfactants – Cancer).

7.    Antibacterial Cleaners and Soaps (Triclosan – Liver Damage).

8.    Dry Cleaning (Perc. Known Carcinogen).

9.    Carpet and Upholstery Cleaners (Perc.).

10.    Toilet Bowl Cleaners (Hydrochloric Acid – Liver and Kidney Damage).
