Confusing and conflicted data dominate the nutritional supplement landscape concerning the scientifically proven benefits of vitamin D. Many books claim vitamin D supplements are "miracles" or "wonder pills." But, such is far from the scientific reality of failed and disappointing studies conducted on so-called vitamin D products. All studies presented in this book are well referenced and articles are duly credited. This book is the leader in presenting scientifically accurate data and serves to debunk the sea of lies facing the general public regarding a plethora of so-called vitamin D...

Exercise is a well known means to lower the risk of many common diseases, including cancer, heart disease, strokes, diabetes and arthritis. There is a considerable scientific data to support this view. It appears that prolonged sitting is now considered to have the damaging equivalence of smoking. The hallmark of exercise is a 10-20% increase in oxygen consumption, which is rapidly metabolically converted to electronically modified oxygen derivatives, EMODs (EMODs, formerly called reactive oxygen species, ROS). Exercise deficiency disease is equivalent to an EMOD insufficiency disease. EMOD...

Decades of research resulted in my appreciation of the many benefits of exercise in reducing the risks of acquiring a wide spectrum of common diseases and in an incredible rodent known as the naked mole rat (NMR) or the "sand puppy." The NMR has the highest level of oxidative stress of all rodents and it lives eight times as long as other rodents, with a superb healthspan and it has never had a case of cancer reported in this species....ever What does the naked mole rat and exercise have in common that could revolutionize our thinking about oxygen, electronically modified oxygen derivatives...

The bedrock scientific facts supporting HBOT are in this companion book relating to its clinical application. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) has been used to varying degrees of effectiveness to treat a wide spectrum of diseases but HBOT has not established itself as a mainstay in overall medical practice. However, I find it exciting that another prooxidant therapy has established itself in the general field of medical science. As with all medical science topics, experiments range from low quality to those that are conducted carefully for wound healing, wounds in diabetics, radiation tissue...

Many foods, such as pomegranate, broccoli and turmeric, have claimed to possess magical antioxidant properties and capabilities which assert to cure a wide spectrum of human diseases and increase one's lifespan. Yet, I have collected well over 500 studies showing the ineffectiveness and the potential harm of these very same supplemental antioxidants. Many of the articles concerning antioxidants are "awash with adjustments, nonsignificant results and unfamiliar statistical methods," and convincing conclusions or "plausibility" are hard to come by, particularly as it relates to cause and effect...
