always positioned our company as what
we call a
“

”

don

it may be cost effective, but
it

Stanley Plogue (Plogue Research): About
a fourth of the people said they have not let

And

Sandy Hale (Pacific

what

what

costs, they are looking
for
ways
to
become

Original data:
1. The
worl
d’s leading transplant surgeon, Dr
Christopher Bernard, has carried
out
one of the most difficult brain tissue transplants
yet attempted. The South African
surgeon has succeeded in transplanting
tissues into the human brain in what is thought
to
be
the
first
operation
of
its
kind.
The
surgery
was
performed
a
week
ago
on
a
patient
suffering
from
Parkinson’s
disease.
A
portion
of
the
patient’s
adrenal
gland
was
implanted
into
a
part
of
the
patient’s
brain,
an
operation
which
has
previously
been performed
only on rats and monkeys.
2.
Approximately a third of all people develop cancer
at one point in their lives.
Chemotherapy has its limitations, but
it is one of the major treatment options. Some
American
scientists
have
discovered
they
can
increase
the
effectiveness
of
chemotherapy by
inhibiting a natural defense mechanism employed by
cancer cells.
3.
Glaucoma
is
responsible
for
blindness
in
an
estimated
67
million
people
around
the
world.
Until
now,
treatments
have
focused
exclusively
on
the
eyes.
But
that may change in the
next few year, following the discovery that
glaucoma involves
the death of brain
cells.
4.
New
research
shows
that
the
simple
act
of
writing
down
thoughts
about
a
stressful
event can help people with chronic illnesses
improve their health. This is the
first
study
to
show
that
writing
can
result
in
clinically
meaningful
outcomes
for
chronically-ill patients. The study
adds to the growing amount of scientific
literature
suggesting
that
meeting
patient’s
psychological
needs
produces
physical
heal
th
benefits.
5.
Traditional
Chinese
medicine
says
that
good
health
is
associated
with
the
balance of
Qi. Qi can be hindered or helped by yang and yin.
According to traditional
theory, the
goal of acupuncture is to promote the flow of qi
by keeping yin and yang
in balance ----
and this is done by inserting needles at various
points along primary
channels
and
meridians
that
crisscross
the
body.
One
of
the
key
benefits
of
acupuncture is that it has few, if any,
side-effects; and that when used with standard
drug treatment --- in anesthesia, for
example ---
it allows physicians to cut
back on
medication, delivering the same
level of benefit with fewer negative effects.

Tape listening:
Listen to
the CD from the computer first and then check the
answers.
In North Beach in
San
Francisco, where some
pretty super food
gets
served
every night.
“
Absolutely
very super food!
” “
and I really like the taste of
it”
But
we’re
not
just
talking
about
taste.
Research
now
shows
that
some
foods,
including
tomatoes,
onions,
garlic
,
and
olive
oil
----
are
among
the
super
foods.
Super foods are
packed with
powerful
chemicals
that may
offer your body great
protection
against
chronic disease
--
“Including cancer, obesity,
heart disease. Vibrantly colored red, yellow,
orange
and green
all giving
you different types of phytochemicals.”
Natalie Ledsma is a
registered dietician at U. C. S. F. (University of
California,
San Francisco: one of the
world's leading centers of health sciences
research, patient
care,
and
education.).
She
says
compounds
found
in
super
foods
---
called
phytochemicals
----
can
reduce
the
risk
of
cancer,
boost
the
immune
system,
and
protect
the
heart.
She
showed
us
what
everyone
should
try
to
eat
each
week
for
optimal
health
.
On
her shoppinglist?
Herbs!
“Dark green ones (herbs),
like rosemary and thyme, and
any
intensely colored
spice
（香料，调料）
,
like
turmeric
(
姜黄
)
or red pepper.
”
“Both of those have
anti
-inflammatory properties(
性能
)
.”
Turmeric may reduce the
risk of leukemia(
白血病
),
skin, and liver
cancers. Hot
peppers may reduce the risk of colon
(
结肠
),
stomach
(
胃
), and rectal
(
直肠
) cancers.
Also on the list: green
veggies(
绿色蔬菜
). But not just
any green veggy.
“Brussels
sprouts
(
球芽甘蓝
) are part of the
cruciferous
vegetable family
that
has significant anti-cancer
properties, and that family also has a very
favorable effect
on
hormone
metabolism (
激素代谢）
.
”
Other
cruciferous veggies include
cabbage
, broccoli, and
cauliflower
. And don’t
forget the
tomato
.
“it
is
probably
the
best
source
of
lycope
ne
(
番茄红素
),
which
is
one
of
the
phytochemi
cals(
植物素
)
that
has
shown
significant
anticancer
properties,
especially
with prostate and
potentially
lung
and breast cancer as well.”
As
for
fruit
,
citrus
contains
Vitamins
C,
limonoids,
and
phenols,
which
inactivate
cancer
cells
and
strengthen
the
immune
system.
Cantaloupes
(
香瓜
),
mangos
and
carrots
contain
cancer-fighting
carotenoids.
And
berries
(
草莓
)
are
bursting
with
flavonoids
(
类黄酮
)
and
ellagic
acid
(
鞣花酸
)
----
antioxidants
that
protect against cancer,
ulcers, and
viruses
. Natalie
recommends organic.
“
Organic
fruits
and
vegetables
have
shown
not
only
to
have
lower
pesticide
toxicities
and lower
pesticide levels, but
also
now have been shown to
have
higher
phytochemical content.”
Don’t forget the
fatt
y fish or
flaxseed
---- both are
excellent source of Omega 3
fatty acids
that
inhibit
the growth of
cancer cells and
boost
the
immune system,
olive
oil,
which may reduce breast, prostate, or
colon cancer, and soy.
“soy has
protective effects for
heart
disease
as well as
osteoporosis(
骨质疏松症
),
potentially.”
And
finally
onions, garlic
, and
shallots. They may protect the
heart
，
fight
cancer,
and help
with
asthma.

Original
data
：
Salt is
crucial to our health, but too much of it can put
human at risk from high
blood
pressure,
heart
disease
and
stroke.
Many
reports,
researchers
at
Harvard
Medical School
say the
significant reduction in salt intake can cut the
chances of heart
disease and strokes by
a quarter. Here is our health correspondent, Adam
Brimelow.
It’s long been known that
cutting salt can reduce blood pressure. But there
has
been much less evidence of what it
means for cardiovascular disease, including heart
attacks and strokes. The Harvard team
followed up people with borderline high blood
pressure, who had taken in part in two
salt reduction studies, typically cutting intake
from
10 to 7
gram
s a day. The risk of developing
cardiovascular disease over the next
decade or so was cut by a quarter
compared with those who did not reduce their salt
intake.
And
their
chances
of
dying
from
cardiovascular
disease
fell
by
1/5.
In
developed
countries such as the United States and the UK,
the average adult daily salt
intake
is
about
10
grams.
Much
of
this
is
already
in
the
food
that
people
buy,
including processed foods and bread.
Many experts say no one should have more than
3 grams. They say the best way to cut
salt, is to
get away from fast food,
check labels
and have plenty of fresh
fruit and vegetable.
