Prostate Cancer Research Institute Recommends Pharmanex' Tegreen By Name As Preventative (March, 2002):
"We have suggested that Tegreen be used at a dose of one capsule 3 times a day in patients with active prostate cancer and perhaps once a day as a prevention against prostate cancer."

Even the government-funded (NIH) National Cancer Institute admits supplements (no companies are mentioned) can prevent prostate cancer!
"Several studies are under way to explore how prostate cancer might be prevented. These include the use of dietary supplements, such as vitamin E and selenium. In addition, recent studies suggest that a diet that regularly includes tomato-based foods may help protect men from prostate cancer."

Lycopene.com:
"Recent studies conducted by a Harvard professor indicate that Lycopene, the red pigment of the tomato, which is a powerful caroteniod, seems to be one of the most potent antioxidants that works for prostate cancer prevention. There is mounting evidence that caroteniods prevent damage to DNA and help keep cancer from forming."

American Association for Cancer Research, April 7, 2002:
"Green Tea Shows Protective Effect Against Gastric and Esophageal Cancers: The first biomarker-based prospective study of green tea and cancers of the stomach and esophagus demonstrates a strong protective effect: subjects demonstrating the presence of tea polyphenols in their single-void urine specimens exhibit a lower risk for both cancers. Tea polyphenols are antioxidants that have been shown to have chemoprotective benefits for cancers at these and other sites."

Dr. Andrew Weil (drweil.com), Dec. 7, 2001:
"My husband, 33, has non-Hodgkins lymphoma but is not on chemotherapy. What are your thoughts on taking immune-stimulating supplements and antioxidants? I'm concerned about aggravating the lymphoma."
"I can't think of any reason for a cancer patient to avoid using antioxidant supplements (unless they're undergoing radiation therapy or chemotherapy), immune-stimulating mushrooms, and green tea. They're all highly cancer protective. I have had cancer patients on these regimens and have found that they can be quite helpful."
"... selenium has shown to help prevent the occurence of new cancers in those with a history of skin cancer."

Dr. Andrew Weil (drweil.com):
"What can I do about breast cancer?"
"Take a multivitamin with folic acid, vitamin D and antioxidants -- All these nutrients have been shown to be related to risk of breast cancer. Although the diet should be the key source of most of these, a good daily supplement can provide insurance that your intake is adequate."

U.S. National Eye Institute (NEI):
"AMD is a serious and currently untreatable disease that is the number one cause of vision impairment and acquired blindness among aging Americans."
"... high levels of antioxidant vitamins and zinc significantly reduce the risk of developing advanced age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and its associated vision loss."

NewsRx.com, Dec. 7, 2001:
"Cataracts, which affect more than half of all Americans age 65 and older, are the clouding of the lens that can ultimately result in blindness. The Roche European American Cataract Trial (REACT) found that supplements containing vitamins C and E slowed the progression of cataracts."

Johanna M. Seddon, MD, Director of the Epidemiology unit at the Massachusetts Eye & Ear Infirmary:
"The high levels of nutrients that were evaluated in the [Age-Related Eye Disease Study] are very difficult to achieve from diet alone. This discovery is very exciting because these dietary supplements are the first effective treatment to slow the progression of the disease ..."

Nutrition Research Newsletter, April, 1999; author Barbara J. Lyle:
"Antioxidants have been proven to have a protective effect on cataract formation, as observed in studies conducted on animals. Carotenoids and vitamin E have the ability to scavenge free radicals, so may play a role in the prevention of this disease process in humans."

Natural Health, Oct-Nov, 2001; author Julia Tolliver Maranan:
"Astaxanthin: this antioxidant shows promise in fighting macular degeneration and boosting immune function. This fat-soluble carotenoid is found in the red yeast Phaffia rhodozyma, used in Asian cooking. It's also produced by the algae Haematococcus and accumulates in the muscles of salmon, shrimp, trout, and other pink seafood when they eat this algae, which is what gives them their pink hue. Astaxanthin kills free radicals in your body, staving off age-related diseases like macular degeneration by preventing these unstable molecules from damaging your cells, according to Timothy Maher, Ph.D., astaxanthin researcher and pharmaceutical sciences professor at the Mass. College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences in Boston. Astaxanthin also boosts the functioning of your immune system by increasing the number and activity of T cells and macrophages, two kinds of protective cells that fight infection and cancer. Astaxanthin is available in pill form. Take up to 2 mg per day to prevent macular degeneration or cancer, recommends James McMillan, M.D., an eye physician and surgeon in Bellevue, Wash."

Dr. Andrew Weil (drweil.com):
"What can I do to prevent age-related macular degeneration?"
"Try to choose foods (or take supplements) that contain vitamin C, vitamin E and lutein."

Bruce N. Ames, Ph.D., Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Univ. of California at Berkeley, 1998:
"Common micronutrient deficiencies are likely to damage DNA by the same mechanism as radiation and many chemicals, appear to be orders of magnitude more important, and should be compared for perspective. Remedying micronutrient deficiencies is likely to lead to a major improvement in health and an increase in longevity at low cost."

Jack Pfeifer, M.D., October, 2000:
"LifePak continues to be the preeminent antioxidant, multi-vitamin system in the world. It is the only product with prospective, randomized, double blind clinical trials, which proves that it actually functions as an antioxidant in the body. This means that it will actually give us protection from free radical damage."
