Obesity linked to leukemia risk

News flash today: The risk for acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) more than doubles in the obese elderly. The prognosis for this cancer is relatively poor. Another reason to get eating under control and keep it under control.

My best friend and his wife have had excellent weight loss and maintenance results with a low-carb diet, suppressing appetite by taking essential fatty acid capsules before a meal. They also supplement with a muliple vitamin-mineral tablet and take an herbal brew based on the anti-cancer Essiac formula, called Guardian Spirit Tea made by Frontier Herbs.
