UB expands in Medical Corridor

The University of Buffalo is expanding its presence in the Medical Corridor and one of the new buildings being erected is the UB Educational Opportunity Center which is on the corner of Ellicott and Goodell in Buffalo. This is being built right next to the M. Wyle Building on that corner. Here are some pics I took of the construction...

UB Homecoming

The UB Bulls dominated the play and the clock, especially in the first half. However, all they could muster after 4 trips into the redzone were 3 points. The Bulls defense kept them in the game, and except for two long receptions and runs by UConn receiver Nick Williams, the Huskies couldn't muster anything against Buffalo.


The end result of the redzone blues was a 17-3 loss by UB. Now they have only 1 win in 4 games and next travel to Tennessee, for an even tougher foe.

I went to the game and took a few pics.

Much more vitamin D needed than originally thought

I've been taking vitamin D3 for the past 2 years as I learned it was a very important ingredient that we lack in our diets. We get vitamin D mainly from the sun, but food also may possess it. I learned from Roswell Park Cancer Institute here in Buffalo that they were doing studies involving vitamin D to see if it helped reduce cancers. Seems that the studies are in and they indeed do help prevent and repress certain cancers.

Now they are saying that we need from 4,000 to 8,000 IUs of vitamin D to prevent cancer. I have been taking 2,000 a day.

There are so many ailments that are attributed to the lack of vitamin D, that it appears we need much more that origianlly thought to stay healthy, especially in the norhtern hemisphere.

8000 IUs of vitamin D daily necessary to raise blood levels of "miracle" anti-cancer nutrient, declares groundbreaking new research

by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
Editor of NaturalNews.com

(NaturalNews) The reign of censorship and suppression against vitamin D is now coming to an end. Even though the Institute of Medicine (IOM) and many institutions leading the cancer industry (including the ACS) have intentionally tried to downplay the ability of vitamin D to prevent cancer, a new study appearing in the journal Anticancer Research lays out the simple, powerful truth about vitamin D that we've been teaching at NaturalNews for years: A typical adults needs 4,000 - 8,000 IUs of vitamin D each day to prevent cancer, MS and type-1 diabetes, not the ridiculously low 400 - 800 IUs recommended by the U.S. government.

Where's the beef? Taco Bell's beef least of our problems!

I have to admit that I have gone to Taco Bell on occasion. Also McDonalds, Burger King and Wendy's. When you eat those fast foods, you are literally poisoning your system. They are full of ingredients that sound more like weed killer than hamburger helper. Not only that, but by eating them you increase your chances for diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and cancer. But they taste great!

Mike Adams examines the current law suit against Taco Bell that the beef in their tacos is more like 35% beef, not the 70%beef required by federal standards. To Adams, that's a moot point. What is scary is the fact that most of these fast food places sell food that is even worse than Taco Bell. Same with the processed foods you buy at your local grocery store.

Check this out and remember this next time you are thinking about McDonalds for lunch...


Taco Bell beef faked? No more than the rest of the FDA-approved toxic food supply

by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
Saturday, January 29, 2011

NaturalNews- The word spread like wildfire across the internet: An Alabama law firm had filed a class action lawsuit against Taco Bell in California, saying its meat fails to meet the definition of beef set forth by the U.S. government (and even that's a pretty low hurdle, if you ask me). The lawsuit claims Taco Bell's meat cannot be honestly advertised as "beef" because it claims tests showed the meat was only 35% beef, not the 70% beef required by federal standards.

If you're eating at Taco Bell, there's not something wrong with their meat... there's something wrong with your head.

Stinging Nettle for allergies, cancer, inflammation

My allergies have been their absolute worst these past 6 weeks. I have had to use my Advair more than I wanted to for my asthma, and my eyes have been itching and watering for weeks. I have a limited supply of Allegra, which I used to get an now cannot as my insurance doesn't cover it. I have used that, but tried an over the counter brand, Zyrtec, and that really made me drowsy and had the feeling of when you take those cold medicines the night after. I didn't feel better for over 24 hours. It was worse than experiencing the allergies.

I had been searching for a natural cure for allergies and came across Stinging Nettle. It was supposedly a natural source of antihistimes. I got my shipment of Stinging Nettle and have tried it for a week now. It does seem to help, however I have still had some allegy problems like sneezing and stuffy nose, along with itchy eyes. But it has helped some and doesn't have any side effects.

I have done more research on Stinging Nettle and have found that it has a wide range of benefits. It could help reduce prostate cancer and other cancers, help reduce inflammation and other ailments.

Here's a good article about it...

Nettle Benefits

Nettle has been used for centuries to treat allergy symptoms, particularly hayfever which is the most common allergy problem. It contains biologically active compounds that reduce inflammation. Dr. Andrew Wiel M.D. author of Natural Health/ Natural Medicine says he knows of nothing more effective than nettle for allergy relief. And his statement is backed up by studies at the National College of Naturopathic Medicine in Portland, Oregon.

Decongestants, antihistamines, allergy shots and even prescription medications such as Allegra and Claritin treat only the symptoms of allergies and tend to lose effectiveness over a period of time. They can also cause drowsiness, dry sinuses, insomnia and high blood pressure. Nettle has none of these side effects. It can be used on a regular basis and has an impressive number of other benefits most notably as a treatment for prostate enlargement.

Are you absorbing your vitamins and nutrients?

Anyone who takes supplements for vitamins and nutrients sometimes wonders if these are being absorbed at all or "going right down the toilet."

I did a search to find about how the body absorbs nutrients and what one must do to make sure that his money isn't going "down the drain."

Since I have a lot of money tied up in vitamins, nutrients and minerals in the form of supplements, the past two days I have been intensely searching for ways in which to better absorb these supplements. From what I have recently discovered, the supplements are attacked by the acids in our stomach and are mostly neutralized or destroyed. In other words, the money spent on these supplements is literally going down the drain.

I have found two ways in which to have the supplements be absorbed better by our digestive systems. One is to find supplements of vitamins and nutrients that are Enteric Coated which all the supplements to withstand the attack by the acids in the stomach and pass intact into the intestines where they eventually dissolve and are incorporated into our systems.

The other way is to make sure we get the proper healthy fats, which then help the essential vitamins like A, Bs, C, K & E get into our system. While I now feel that the Enteric Coated tablets is the best way to go in which to get the highest percentage of the supplement into our system, using a healthy fat, such as Omega 3 fish oil, may be the best alternative until I can find a reasonably priced vitamin or nutrient which has the Enteric Coated cover.

I found that there are healthy fats that are important in the absorbing of vitamins and nutrients. Here is an article written by Mike Adams of Natural News about the subject...


Dietary fat is necessary for absorption of vitamins, nutrients and phytochemicals from fruits and vegetables

by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger

A fascinating new study published by the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition shows that dietary fat is necessary for the absorption of nutrients from fruits and vegetables. In the study, people who consumed salads with fat-free salad dressing absorbed far less of the helpful phytonutrients and vitamins from spinach, lettuce, tomatoes and carrots than those who consumed their salads with a salad dressing containing fat. This is interesting research, but not necessarily all that surprising. We've known for a long time that healthy fats are a critical part of a healthy diet, and that avoiding fats actually causes chronic disease. The key is in choosing the right kind of fats for your diet and making sure you don't overdo the fats, because fats have a very high caloric density and can add far more calories to your meal than you might expect.

Here's another article about how healthy fats are essential, not only for the absorbing of our vitamins, but to help maintain our health...


What are the different types of healthy fats and oils?

Fats and oils are made up of basic units called fatty acids. Each type of fat or oil is a mixture of different fatty acids. Monounsaturated Fatty Acids (MUFA) are found mainly in vegetable oils, nuts, seeds, olives and avocadoes. They are liquid at room temperature.

Statin drugs cause more harm than good

No matter how much I complain to my doctor, he still wants me to stick with statins and possibly go to a stronger one! He wants me to get my cholestrol down to around 150, but from what I read, the whole cholestrol thing is just hyped up by the medical profession.My older brother had muscle damage to his legs because of taking statins so long. Now he can't walk too far or play golf. A friend of mine ended up in the hosptial with intense pains because of taking statins.

Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, has more disturbing news about statins and their side effects that are worse than the benefits of using them...

Big Pharma lies about statin drugs finally exposed in British Medical Journal

To hear Big Pharma tell it, statin drugs are "miracle" medicines that have prevented millions of heart attacks and strokes. But a recent study published in the British Medical Journal tells a completely different story: For every heart attack prevented by the drug, two or more people suffered liver damage, kidney failure, cataracts or extreme muscle weakness as a result of taking the drug. Statin drugs, in other words, harm far more people than they help.
