Get clearance from your doctor, of course, and get supervision when you start by hiring a qualified trainer. Details of program I use are in my book. I started a regular exercise program I've become "hooked" on when I was 60. What's your excuse? Age? Physical condition? Hey -- just do it!

SUPPLEMENTS

Just take "One-A-Day" vitamins and you're home free. NOT!!

The so-called "Recommended Daily Allowances" (RDA) of vitamins and minerals are woefully below optimum level you need to maintain vibrant health. There is no real excuse for this. There are thousands of studies of effect of supplements and best daily dosage. Unfortunately, if you try to follow these guidelines with individual supplements like Vitamin C, beta carotene, CoQ10, colloidal silver, selenium, astralagus, etc., etc. you will soon go broke.

Better to find one of formulas put together by knowledgeable health professionals. I mention one I have used for about 15 years in my book. I am 73 and in perfect health. It is Dr. David Williams' Daily Advantage. It costs about $44 a month, but it has kept me healthy ever since I started taking it (and exercising regularly). You can get more information at Dr. Williams' web site: http://www.DrDavidWilliams.com/

or by calling Mountain Home Nutritionals in Ranson, West Virginia at (800) 888-1415.

I get no compensation of any kind from any of products I recommend. My conviction that this is best, however, was reinforced recently when I read a book called "Comparative Guide to Nutritional Supplements," by Lyle MacWilliam, BSc, MSc, FP. The author had compiled charts which compared 500 "nutritionals" supplements. Daily Advantage was not one of them. However, when I compared its ingredients with "top 5" in book using his "blended standard," it was better than any of them.

Your age now is immaterial. Whatever age you are, whatever your current health condition is, starting a sound supplement program is essential. I started getting this right when I was 58.

THE FOUR-LEGGED STOOL

The above three "vitals" -- diet, exercise and supplements -- form what many have called a "three-legged stool of health." The idea is that if you neglect any one of legs, "stool" (your health) collapses.

Others have suggested that "stool" has a fourth leg, which is spiritual faith. I don't try to cover it in my book, but there is evidence that it has a strong role in maintaining or regaining your health.

I'll be back soon with an article on specific recommendations for overcoming cancer. I am just a "reporter," not a medical professional. Any changes in your health regiman should be discussed with your doctor.

* Cancer-fighting diet. Read Patrick Quillin's book "Beating Cancer With Nutrition" and use his recipes. This is best cancer nutrition book I have read. It's available at amazon.com or in bookstores. Cost: $0.00. [Probably less than your current diet.]

* Dr. Williams' Daily Advantage. I mentioned this in one of earlier articles. It is best vitamin, mineral, amino acid, antioxidant, essential fatty acid, superfood combination I have found. Cost: $1.46 a day.

Total cost of this regimen, including immune system stimulants I mentioned in previous article is about $4.68 for maintenance dose. For first 6 weeks or so, cost is about $8.88 per day. So for an initial cost of $266 a month and a continuing cost of $140 a month, you can be cancer-free. This is a lot less than most of us spend on a car payment.

The complete ordering information on all these products plus many others like Protocel, Paw Paw, Onconat I, Artemisinin, Crystal Calcium, Exercise With Oxygen Therapy, PC Essentials, Red Raspberry tablets and lots more is in my "Cancer-Free" book.

THE SWIMMING POOL ANALOGY

Let me close this "short course" with a mental picture I'd like you to take away. In my life, I have owned two swimming pools. No more. Too much maintenance. But one thing you learn early on about swimming pools is that algae formation in water must be controlled. Once it begins to take over, sides of pool become coated with this "green mung" and recovery becomes difficult, but not impossible.

Today's conventional cancer treatment doctors (oncologists, radiologists, surgeons, etc.) remind me of SCUBA divers diving into pool (your body) and blasting away at algae in an attempt to kill it off and stop its growth. If you've ever tried to overcome algae in a pool, you know only way is to correct chemical composition (alkalinity, chlorine level, etc.) of water. At that point, pool becomes sparklng and attractive again. The algae dies off and is disposed of with a vacuum.

The above regimen ("The Weapons") describes a way to bring "chemistry" of your body back into sparkling, attractive health by correcting normal balance of pool's water (your body). That's my mission, folks. To convince people like you to learn procedure and substances necessary to restore that balance. That's what I mean by "taking charge of your own health care."

The dead algae (cancer cells) are disposed of by your body's normal "vacuuming" system. Too rapid a "die-off" of cancer cells can cause problems with this cleansing system. That's one reason you need "assistance." The above "Weapons" are gentle enough that they can be taken "until doctor comes."
