Yes, MonaVie! Excellent product for antioxidants. It’s loaded with them, and antioxidants are of major importance to our health and longevity! I have many friends that are top producers in the marketing company for the product, and they are doing very well in it. Being the health fanatic that I am (most of the time), I seemed an ideal fit for this product in their eyes. When I was initially approached to market it to my growing network of health enthusiasts, I took a good look at it. I…

Tomatoes and Avocados Extraordinary Marriage

November 15, 2012October 18, 2013 David Ward

One of my favorite snack meals is that of eating tomatoes and avocados together. Whether on Ezekiel bread, with whole grain pita bread, or by itself with a big scoop of fresh raw hummus. I just love the combination. It’s not just because it tastes good though. The nutritional value of the combination far exceeds the nutritional value of the two when eaten separately. Here are the reasons why. Tomatoes are rich in lycopene. Lycopene is an antioxidant known as a carotenoid. This carotenoid reduces cancer risk and cardiovascular…

October 17, 2012November 1, 2012 David WardAMA, Ann Wigmore, Cancer, Prostate

We have all heard that there are natural cures for cancer, and information abounds on the subject now with the Internet in full swing, but most do not know where to start in finding it. This article is for that purpose. Most of those who know my story about my street fight with cancer, know that I completely avoided traditional methods after my diagnosis of Stage three prostate cancer, i.e. initially stage two, then through a process of procrastination, a year later, stage three. Needless to say, my oncologist…

Dangers of Coca Cola and Similar Soft Drinks

It does not take a rocket scientist to figure this one out. If you know anyone that drinks any sort of sweetened carbonated beverage, they all have similar results to these as tested using Coca Cola (r). The same pretty much happens with any other soft drink so don’t run out and buy some other sort of carbonated, sugar sweetened soft drink. The same can be said about anything with high fructose corn syrup. But, today, I just want to focus on Coca Cola. When somebody drinks a 16 oz.…
