Effective Ways to Reduce Breast Cancer Risks – OHR #440

Effective ways to reduce breast cancer risks - ohr #440

Did you know that hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) can halt the build-up of plaque on the brain —a key characteristic of Alzheimer’s disease, in a mice model, as per a novel study.

The study, by scientists at Tel Aviv University in Israel, showed that breathing pure oxygen for some time in a pressurized —or hyperbaric—chamber can boost the functioning of the human brain. In animals, the therapy helped fight the build-up of brain plaque.

“I don’t think this can ‘cure’ Alzheimer’s in humans, but it may be able to significantly slow its progression and severity.”

With the data showing that an average 28 year old is already suffering from memory loss wouldn’t it be smart to take care of your brain now?  After heart disease and cancer, Alzheimer’s disease is the 3rd leading cause of death.

My wife and I are now doing HBOT to help our brains and I recommend it for you too. Start with 40 sessions – 3-5 times a week. It takes about an hour and 20 minutes and is very relaxing as you can work on your computer or take a nap while you do the “dive.”

We have felt an increase in energy, and faster recovery after our workouts.

And it can increase your telomeres so that you can live longer and healthier.

Try it! Just call and schedule.

Have a great week.

About Dr. David Minkoff, Medical Director

Dr. David Minkoff graduated from the University of Wisconsin Medical School in 1974 and was elected to the “Phi Beta Kappa” of medical schools, the prestigious Alpha Omega Alpha Honors Medical Fraternity for very high academic achievement. He then completed both a Pediatric Residency and a Fellowship in Infectious Disease at the University of California at San Diego. He worked at the University of California and Children’s Hospitals in San Diego as an attending physician in infectious disease while conducting original research on Ribaviron, a broad spectrum anti-viral agent to fight disease. He also co-directed a neo-natal intensive care unit and worked in emergency medicine. In 1992, Dr. Minkoff’s wife Sue, a Registered Nurse, became interested in nutrition and health and began to go to lectures from some of the experts in the field. At the time, Dr. Minkoff was pretty fixed in his view of traditional medicine and it took a lot of convincing to get him to come to one of these lectures. After hearing Dr. Jeffrey Bland speak, Dr. Minkoff had a eureka moment and began pursuing the alternative field with a vengeance. Based on this new knowledge Dr. Minkoff and his wife set up a small clinic in 1997 to help some friends with their medical problems. What began as an experiment blossomed into Lifeworks Wellness Center, one of the most successful clinics for complementary medicine in the United States. In the process, he gained expertise in Biological medicine, integrative oncology, heavy metal detoxification, anti-aging medicine, hormone replacement therapy, functional medicine, energy medicine, neural and prolotherapy, homeopathy, and optimum nutrition. He studied under the masters in each of these disciplines until he became an expert in his own right. Dr. Minkoff is one of the most in-demand speakers in the field and wrote an Amazon best-selling book called The Search For The Perfect Protein. The demand for the products and protocols he discovered became a catalyst for founding BodyHealth.Com, a nutrition company that now manufactures and distributes cutting-edge nutritional solutions for the many health problems of today. Dr. Minkoff writes two free online newsletters, “The Optimum Health Report” and ”The BodyHealth Fitness Newsletter”, to help others learn about optimum health and fitness. Dr. Minkoff is an avid athlete himself and has completed 43 Ironman Triathlons. To keep his fitness maximal, he lives the lifestyle he teaches to others and tries to set an example for others, so they can enjoy a life free of pain and full of energy.
