I have to tell you, I am appalled at the recent issues with the NCI study and its supposed link to fish oil and advanced prostate cancer. I have already ridiculed the authors, but in case it was not clear, let me restate it in the clearest way possible: I think the authors, particularly the

Surely I must be dying and this must be my last chance to write you in my physical form. Any further communications you receive from my blogs, emails, personal notes-any further stage presentations or lectures must be coming from my ghost or perhaps an evil impostor trying to steal my identity.

Stem cells are often referred to as the “parts bag” of your body. When part of your body is damaged, there are two main avenues of repair – somatic cells and stem cells. Somatic cells are cells that are already at their final stage of evolution. Examples are mature heart, skin, liver and gut cells.

We got this question through our book site. The answer, of course, is in the book reference section, but I have long ago given up on people doing anything more than wanting us to do all the work for them! “In your book, under ‘why is Co Q10 so important,’ you state, ‘some studies that
