I'm a supporterof the Arnold Sports Festival in Columbus, OH - which this year ran over the weekend of March 3-6.

We had more than 200,000 attendees from over 70 nations converging for this growing sports & fitness celebration.

I've long been a supporter of Arnold's initiative in establishing the festival. This year I hosted the induction ceremony for the Hall of Fame.

I present a Lifetime Award to Arnold Schwarzenegger

This year, in attendance were many of the world’s top professionals in bodybuilding, fitness, figure, strongman and other sports; 18,000 athletes; 40 sports and events at 10 premier venues; and sporting enthusiasts from around the world.

From its 1989 beginning as The Arnold Classic - a one-day professional men’s bodybuilding competition, the Arnold Sports Festival has expanded into the world’s largest multi-sport fitness weekend.....

The exceptional trailblazer, Jack LaLanne has just passed away, aged 96. If other world-class athletes are in awe of somebody, that person must be something special.

On his 70th birthday, Jack swam from the Queen's Way Bridge in Long Beach Harbor to the Queen Mary, a mile and a half. Did I mention that he did that septuagenarian swim while: handcuffed, shackled, fighting strong winds and currents and also towing 70 boats with 70 people?

Five years earlier, on his 65th birthday, Jack swam pulling 65 boats filled with 6,500 pounds of wood pulp in Lake Ashi, near Tokyo. At 60 he swam from Alcatraz Island to Fisherman’s Wharf handcuffed, shackled and towing a 1,000-pound boat.......

I have always been fascinated with how powerful the mind can make us feel and how far the inner self can be pushed.

The mind is so closely linked to the body that you really can think yourself fat, thin, sick, healthy, poor, rich, a loser, or a winner.

Having competed for many years on the world level as a strength athlete, and having studied the martial arts since my teens, I have long experienced the Super Powers of the Mind.

When I set world records, I did not accomplish that goal with body or muscle power but with the power of my mind.

When I performed karate board or brick breaks, it was my mind and inner chi that allowed my hand to pass so easily through those barriers

The more I challenged my body and mind, the more respect I gained for this intricately tuned synergy the Greeks spoke of centuries ago.

The mind-body link is a reality, and I wanted to learn every technique of how to meld the two, and so increase my brainpower; boost memory, and concentration; sharpen focus, and enhance imagination, and creativity.

That was the impetus for writing this book, putting together a "user's manual" for building Super Mind Power.

When I was a teenager, I marveled at the astounding concentration of martial arts masters.

Though slight of build, they could exert enormous power and literally propel much larger, heavier opponents across the room with a single stroke. It was not their physical strength but Super Mind Power that enabled them to complete these feats........

When a colleague tells me it may now be possible to halt and even reverse tumor growth in late-stage cancer -without chemotherapy- then he's got my attention.

Dr. Mark Rosenberg is a fellow member of the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine. He's the Medical Director of the Institute for Healthy Aging and Director of the Integrative Cancer Therapies Fellowship.

He just announced preliminary findings of an exciting new technique for treating glucose-loving, advanced-stage cancers. To my initial surprise it involves giving the cancer copious amounts of glucose!

Most cancers love glucose, and a great deal of research has gone into finding was to deprive the cancer of glucose --not feed it glucose.

There must be some trick, you say. Well, not so much a trick as an inspiration.

Here's his novel insight : cells which consume glucose must eliminate waste lactic acid or die. So, ' what if ' we prevent cancer cells from effluxing lactic acid?

Based on Dr. Rosenberg’s in-vitro study at University of Miami, he developed an oral protocol he calls, “Cancer pH Manipulation Therapy,” which blocks three mechanisms that cancer cells use to efflux lactic acid.

With the acid pumps blocked, he literally feeds the cancer cells by infusing high dose glucose.

As the cancer cells feed, they create lactic acid that is unable to be pumped out of the cells. In Dr. Rosenberg’s words, “the more they eat the faster they die.”

With this protocol Dr. Rosenberg was able to completely normalize tumor markers in four weeks in a patient with metastatic endometrial carcinoma without the use of chemotherapy.

With a second patient, diagnosed with stage IIIC primary peritoneal carcinoma, Dr. Rosenberg’s protocol achieved a 40% reduction in tumor markers in just two weeks.

Dr. Rosenberg will be sharing his findings at the
Fellowship in Integrative Cancer Therapies, taking place March 10-13, 2011 in Boca Raton, FL.

The writing's been on the wall. Private practice has resembled a battlefield ER for many years. It could only get worse. And it has.

Late last year a Physicians Foundation survey of 2,400 doctors, found that four in ten were not prepared to continue practicing. Many of those planned to retire, work part-time, or get out of clinical work entirely.

Now a new Thomson Reuters survey of a similar physician cohort has confirmed the dismal trend of the earlier poll.

Two thirds of the doctors believed quality of care would deteriorate over the next five years. Less than one in five thought it would improve.

And a world-weary 74 percent of doctors polled believe the proposed health care changes will result in them personally being.... well, frankly.... 'screwed' by the system.

David Shrier, chief executive officer of HCPlexus, who conducted the survey, said: " The message they've taken from healthcare reform appears to be 'Do more with less.' "

" Doctors are telling us they feel disenfranchised and overburdened," aded Shrier.

Join the club. You and us also.

US Pharmaceutical companies likely handed out in excess of $500 million in payments to doctors last year.

The half-dozen top-earning doctors pocketed over a quarter of a million dollars apiece. Not all Pharma companies disclose these payments, but here's the payouts from the seven who do:



The potential for abuse is huge and real. For example, federal prosecutors allege that Botox maker Allergan used faux advisory boards: “to reward hundreds of its top injectors.” Allergan hired an oceanfront resort in Newport Beach, Calif., and paid more than 200 doctors $1,500 to listen to presentations.

A host of federal and ex-employee whistleblower legal cases have tainted household names in pharmaceuticals and resulted in penalties of $7Billion over the last three years.

However, doctors are under other pressures. Many employed by hospitals are under 'influence' from administrators to modify patient protocols and stay duration.

It's a mess. We can't even ensure the rights of the doctor in this situation, let alone place the patient at the center of health care. The reforms we need should be at the core of whatever health care 'solution' comes out of Washington.

In anti-aging medicine, our clinical ethos is the prevention, by early detection, of suboptimal health states, and their reversal. That approach doesn't just save and enhance lives, it saves money too.

As the gerentological Boomer wave bears down on us, we are rearranging the regulatory and financial deck chairs of the good ship Health Titanic. Let's get more of the real issues on the table.
