A powerful winning team
In your body, the "robots" are known as T cells — the killer cells of your immune system. When a foreign pathogen enters, T cells activate a vitamin D receptor. All that's needed now is a sufficient level of vitamin D in the blood stream.
When T cells find their D, they power up, go to work, and the good guys win.
For years, scientists have known that vitamin D plays an indispensable role in controlling disease. And for years they've been asking: How does D do it?
Researchers from Copenhagen University, in Denmark, believe they've found the answer, as described above.
I honestly don't know if the Copenhagen researchers are actually the first to discover this brilliant collaboration of vitamin D and T cells. But if they really are, my hat is off to them. Thanks, guys, for helping us better understand the nature of this vitamin that's one of the primary lynchpins of good health.
Another recent D study found that a low blood level of the vitamin appears to be linked to lower muscle strength. The problem: When D is insufficient, fat accumulates in muscle tissue.
That's good to know, and we'll add it to the rapidly growing list of vitamin D benefits. But one interesting — and disturbing — detail stood out in this study.
Researchers recruited 90 subjects. In each subject, blood levels of vitamin D were measured, along with muscle mass, muscle fat percentage, and body fat. And here's the kicker: All the subjects were US females, from sunny California, between the ages of 16 and 22. But 60 per cent of them had low D levels, and one-in-four had levels that qualified as deficient.
Yikes! If young women in California aren't getting enough sun exposure to maintain a sufficient D level, what chance do the rest of us have?
This detail underlines one of the most important results we've seen in other studies: In general, the US tends to be a D-insufficient nation in a D-insufficient world. So let's review the best ways to keep D levels high:
* Whenever possible, get just a few minutes of direct sunlight exposure every day
* Eat good quality "fatty" fish (tuna, salmon, mackerel) three or more times each week.

New Mushroom Remedy Shows Promise Against Breast Cancer
Dear Reader,
Ayon sa ating kaalaman ang mushroom noon paman ay ginawang pang ulam lalo na ang nasa naninirahan sa bundok, Ito ay pampalakas ng katawan o resestance,
Kaya noong sinure ang mushroom ay may malaking pakinabang ito sa ating katawan.
Traditional Asian medicine is often way ahead of Western medicine…and that’s glaringly obvious in the fight against cancer. Now, one ancient remedy has been married with today’s technology, creating a formula so powerful that it is able to target breast cancer cells before they grow and multiply – helping to stop the disease in its tracks.
East meets west to create a powerful anti-breast cancer formula
When the research and development team of a US-based company which harnesses the medicinal powers of mushrooms, learned about a medicinal mushroom extract – used by Japanese doctors with remarkable results - they knew it would become the centrepiece of their new breast cancer formula.
They became interested in the medicinal mushroom extract after hearing about the work of a scientist called Dr. Daniel Silva. After 10 years of research on medicinal mushrooms, Dr. Sliva found undeniable evidence in the lab that a certain mushroom extract has a four-fold anti-breast- cancer effect.
1. It inhibits cell adhesion, meaning it keeps breast cancer cells from joining together to form tumours.
2. It restricts cell migration, so breast cancer cells can’t move to other areas of the body (known as metastases).
3. It curbs cell invasion, meaning the PL extract doesn’t let breast cancer cells take over healthy cells.
4. It suppresses angiogenesis, which is the formation of new blood vessels – something tumours can’t live without.
