Saturday Special Event 18% Off Sale

Dr. Dave’s Best 36 Hour 18% Off Sale
Offer expires Sunday, August 1, 2010 at 12:00 Noon EST
By the time you read this there is a very good chance that I will be somewhere in the midst of an almost 80 mile run through the Canadian Rockies called aptly “The Canadian Death Race”
 
Billed as North America’s toughest race this run has humbled more than a few people in the past including me although I did mange to finish it in 2008.
 
In the past we created a complicated donation structure rewarding people according to how much they donated.
 
This got very cumbersome and left some people who did not want to donate out in the cold.
 
So this year I am doing it differently and much simpler
 
I am simply having a 36 hours 18% off everything we make sale event. ( Note this does not include products made by other people or companies and sold on our site!)
 
When it’s done I will donate as much as I can from the proceeds to our charity http://www.theraceagainstdeath.org/ and then from there onto the IM ABLE foundation.
 
So it’s up to you to help me.
 
I am out there putting this body heart and soul on the lien to raise awareness of a couple of things:
1)  Anyone can help and make a difference
 
2) Keeping people moving even disabled kids and others is very worthwhile and impacts their life in a hugely positive way
 
3) At over 50 years of age I do not consider myself old.  As a matter of fact because of what I make and do for myself and you, we are both growing younger.  I am out to prove it and help people in the process. In other words I am putting my money where my mouth is in a big way! Lets see the other docs on the internet try this!!!
 
When you buy something on sale in the next 36 hours (Sale ends Sunday August 1 at 12 noon EST) a portion of the proceeds will go to the above charity.
 
I am willing to stand up for what I believe and help people.  Please help me do that and help yourself to some huge savings in the process.  I will make sure I get a pic of me giving a check to the IM ABLE folks so you know your donation got where it’s supposed to.
 
I am not trying to save the world just make it younger and healthier.  Please help and stock up on what you need!
 
Doc
 
PS some things will be out of stock before the sale ends so its first come first served and if we get too low on stock I reserve the right to end the sale early although its going to be pretty hard from a mountain top in Western Canada!

Teen Obesity – Rosie Is Not A Fat Slob!

You see, Rosie really does not stand a chance; at least that is what behavioral psychologists say.

Her main weapons are that she represent the underdog. Rosie actually is not a slob, she has complete and free access to TV and other media, and is not poor by any stretch of the imagination.

And she is fat.
Sorry, but that is the big bottomed line in human behavioral approach terms.

People cannot look at a fat person and feel the same respect they do for a thinner person, no matter how wonderful the fat person is.

Hey, gluttony is one of the 7 deadly sins, right?

Then again, so is greed but you can’t really see greed. You can see fat. Just look to your left and look to your right.

If you were to honestly poll and I mean honestly, poll a million people who knew nothing about either of these people and said they were feuding, and ask them to pick a side, guess whose side they’d be on.

My TV Made Me Fat

Well I am at it again to answer a real and important question. Does TV watching really make you fat?

It turns out that there is a direct correlation between body fat and TV watching. As you might guess there are also less direct correlations with diabetes and other illnesses.

Still since we have the choice to hit the “off” button, we can’t really blame the TV.

What can be said for those of you who like conspiracy theories is that the “powers that be” are hard at work figuring out how to manipulate human behavior.

Examples include increased “food and eating” programming among commercials during peak TV hours. And on a more sinister note, a huge (at least 50% increases) in what most of us would call junk food-based commercials aimed directly at young children. There has also been a big increase in the general programming aimed at young children.

How To Increase Your Calorie Burn By Twenty Percent

A few months ago I took a little run through the Canadian Rockies. I ran 78 miles to be exact and when I crossed the finish line of this race known as the Canadian Death Race (because if you finish you probably cheated death) I had achieved something that only 35% of the people who started as solo runners did.

I finished the race!

Now there were many factors in this. As a matter of fact, I am in the process of writing a book about the experience but I can distill it down to a few biggies.

And it’s one of those biggies I want to tell you about now.

Trekking poles.

After attempting to come down one of the mountain sides in practice I realized there is no way my quads and my legs are going to survive such a race. Enter “Dr. Death” also known as Dale, the originator of the Death Race. After a 5 minute session on trekking pole use, I was set and I found them to be one of the major keys to completing such a long, hard race over such difficult terrain.

They especially helped me literally fly down the mountain sides without breaking my neck. This helped make up for my less than stellar speed on the climbing side of things.

So when I got back from the Death Race I decided that just about any run on any trail I would take would see my trusty trekking poles by my side.

Thus when I showed up at some shorter races in my local area I got a bunch of funny looks and a few comments about “the dude with the ski poles”.

Most had never even seen them let alone seen anyone using them.

What my running friends didn’t know is that trekking polls stand poised to be “the next big thing” along with band training in the fitness industry.

And with good reason, they help you burn more fat.

I could go on and on about why I use trekking poles for my trail runs, but the main reason I want to bring them to your attention is that recent studies in the Journal of Strength Conditioning Research have shown that they increase the calorie burn without increasing the perceived exertion of the exercise.

So whether you walk or run, you burn more calories and you don’t feel more tired.

It has been estimated that you actually burn about 20% more calories using the poles because they engage your upper body and core.

So if you are looking for a way to improve your walking/running efficiency in terms of calorie burning this is a great way to do it.

And if like me you live in areas of ice and snow in the winter, the poles behave like extra legs so now you have 4 legs instead of 2!

Get out, move and enjoy!

How Bad Are Cell Phones For Your Health?

They are absolutely horrible for your health but not for the reasons you might think. But before we get to that, let’s look at some background info to set this up.

There are certain controversies that ultimately develop a life of their own and are unrelated to any facts. Examples are things like artificial sweeteners, which are universally touted as evil, wicked, mean and nasty no matter what their source or chemical makeup. Facts like people who work with NutraSweet need Tyvec suits and respirators (so do people who work with giant sand piles) and NutraSweet is the most complained about food substance (guess what came before it; saccharin!) ever to grace the FDA’s books.

Stevia, which was never tested until recently, however, got cart blanche among the cyber public.

My position on sweeteners is very clear from years of emails and blogs in the past. I will simply say the following: refined sugar caused widespread slavery, tooth decay, obesity, diabetes and every time someone makes a fortune panning artificial sweeteners (wait until the next one comes out!) the sugar lobby is laughing all the way to the bank.
None of this apparently offsets the handful of people whose testimonials fuel the fortunes of writers, bloggers and others who cop to the popular opinion without so much as a thought. Yes, your crappy life decisions and bad luck could indeed be due to artificial sweeteners, cell phones and government conspiracies but in truth they might just be bad decisions coupled with bad luck.

Now cell phones have not yet reached the proportion of artificial sweeteners in that no one has made a fortune and a career badmouthing them but I am sure someone will succeed. After all, the tumor in my head must be from cell phone use, right? I mean it has to be from something that someone else caused!

But in point of fact, so far, the only studies we have on cell phone usage are mice studies and they suggest that when you expose mice to the electromagnetic frequencies emitted by cell phones it actually reverses their dementia.

Yep, that’s right; cell phones make demented mice better! Now mice aren’t people and we always need to be careful about associations but the brain is an electromagnetic organ and as MRI’s have shown magnetic resonance has at least some imaging benefits so it’s not too far a stretch to think we might want to figure out some resonant frequency therapy for Alzheimer’s and the like.

How ironic would it be if cell phones protected us from this kind of dementia? Our kids would undoubtedly live Alzheimer’s-free lives!

There is a problem, however, as I alluded to in my opening sentence. Cell phones do indeed cause cancer and dementia.

No one has a name for this phenomenon so I have decided I shall be the first and the name I chose for this disease is T.H.U.D.

That stands for Telephonic Heterodynamic Ultra Dementia. A loose definition is: the stupidity of people who share vapid, meaningless conversations with an uncaring world by talking way too loud about stupid crap on their cell phones and try to carry on multiple conversations and tasks while talking.

In addition to auto accidents, this kind of moronic usage also causes people to forget that there are other people around and to blindly walk into them on the streets of New York and other major cities as I can testify. Since when did spatial and situational awareness become an option?

I am waiting for the first recorded cell phone mugging which might go like this:

Mugger: gimme yo money.

His cell phone rings: I tole you not ta call me on this phone bixxx!

Victim: Please, sir, don’t hurt me.

Victims’ phone rings: hold on, honey, I am being mugged… what’s that? Don’t forget the ketchup. Uh, OK. What kind do we buy?

At which point mugger and victim wander off forgetting what and why they were even talking to each other.

And that, my friend, is the cancer. It is a social cancer. A cancer of yet another barrier of communication between people under the guise of connectivity.

What’s worse is I promise you the human brain was never ever meant to have 24/7/365 connectivity no matter what Verizon and AT&T say.

Not ever! It is mental illness to think so and even crazier to fall into this trap. I see people who have not learned they can turn off their TV and they do not have to answer any phone. Guess what? You can elect to answer calls later at YOUR convenience.

Failure to do so will inevitably result in T.H.U.D. and a global kind of ADD that will undoubtedly require Big Pharma to create yet another toxic drug that makes billions!

Where are the FDA and FTC when you need them!?

What You Are Reading About Exercise And Longevity Is Only Half True

I am going to go out on a limb here and tell you that the stuff you are reading on exercise and longevity is only half true. So to begin we’ll briefly look at what is out there.

But before we do let me say this: I have come to terms with the fact that at this moment in my life I am a runner. I am now training for my second 125 km Canadian Death Race and most of what I do centers around long slow distance endurance training. The very kind of training I tell you NOT to focus on.

Let me explain.

I do not do this stuff for the “physical goodness” of it. I do it for the mental moving meditation, the ability to still do it while my body can still tolerate the abuse and yes, it is abusive.

And this year I am doing it for charity. My website theraceagainstdeath.org should be up in 4 to 6 weeks for those of you who want to get involved.

While I don’t think I am losing years of my life for doing this, I sure don’t expect to live any longer because of it. After all it is called the “Death Race” for a reason!

Now let’s look at what is printed in the lay and other exercise press. Run run run. Runners live longer, runners aren’t injured any more than non-runners — maybe actually less — and runners are healthier.

Now I haven’t examined this data all that closely but I suspect that the info comes from very long studies. Normally I would tell you that a 20 year study is very powerful. But if you keep only the people who are still running at the end of a twenty year period you have really selected out a ton of people and left only those genetically gifted for the sport who may indeed already have the genetics for longevity as well!.

And then there is the fact that most of these guys doing the research are distance runners and especially distance cyclists.

I would love to see some power guys get into research in the same fashion.

But you look at the other side of the fence and you’ll find some articles on longevity and power generation. Interestingly enough you’ll see an almost direct correlation of longevity to things like explosive or one-rep leg strength and grip strength as well.

Now if you combine the new information on higher intensity short distance training, including running, with the fact that this leads to power generation, you get two great benefits.

First is longevity.

Second is this kind of strength and power training will make you more accident proof.

And actually there is a third benefit! Fat loss since high intensity training done right is the best way to lose fat.

So from a guy who runs 80 mile races I am still telling you, “Do as I say, not as I do!”

Next year will be the 10th anniversary of the Canadian Death Race. I will be running it but this time in a relay. I plan on doing lots of power training and high intensity cycling for my cardio. By then it will be time to give these feet and legs a break.

One final observation for you athletes out there. You do not need to do only Olympic weight lifting for triple extension (which is one of the key movements to real power!).

Check out the 4th circuit on my Fabulous Fat Burning for Everyone DVD by JC Santana and Rhadi Fergusson. You’ll see real raw power as Rhadi prepares for the Judo nationals!

The Truth About Pharmaceutical Grade Fish Oil It’s All About Purity

What is Pharmaceutical Grade Fish Oil?

The doctor’s reply: “Well it’s the only type I will use for myself, my patients and my fish oil customers but it depends on who you talk to. Critics of fish oil slammed the term as pure marketing hype. Ironically, if the oil is treated to the processing needed to make it as pure as possible, it removes most of the PCB’s, meets all FDA standards, has no detectable levels of lead or mercury and is consistently close to what is claimed on the label much like a drug. In short, if the FDA makes fish oil a drug, which is now much closer to reality as it is with all supplements, a real Pharmaceutical Grade fish oil would pass muster.”

What do you think of alternative sources of EPA and DHA like krill?

Woynarowski states, “I still use only fish oil supplements. There are over 10,000 independent (not manufacturer sponsored) studies on fish oil dating back decades and more come out every day practically. Krill lost credibility with me when some of the manufactures claimed it was “better than fish oil”. They were told to stop those ads, which they soon did because that is a very broad sweeping statement with no proof. Krill has only been studied by manufacturer studies to my knowledge. It is part of a sensitive ecosystem just like fish. And just like fish it is subject to extensive farming and pollutants as well, in this case OPC’s (organochlorine pesticides). I haven’t seen anyone testing krill. Just saying it’s clean doesn’t cut it with me. I do think the perfect solution to keeping our fish stocks well fed with Omega 3’s in their food chain is to use the krill added to standard fish meal to feed the farmed fish. That would solve a lot of sustainability issues but krill is rather expensive for the amounts of Omega 3 you get. And fish can convert other fatty acids to Omega 3 in a fashion human beings can’t so the sustainability issues can be solved with a little work and conscientious behavior. By the way, no human population ever lived on krill so there will never be any population based studies!”

Finally, he added, “For the first time in history a supplement has been so robust and scientifically grounded that even traditional medical doctors are using it extensively. I think the future is very bright for fish oil and it remains the gold standard of Omega 3’s for scientific studies and human supplementation for the foreseeable future.

What All The Fuss About Vitamin D?

It’s a question of hard science and hard marketing. The science of Vitamin D was truly “lost” for a long time. Vitamin D is actually a steroid hormone and as such is involved in so many critical issues of human health including: cancer, heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, osteoporosis, auto immune diseases like lupus, M.S., depression and thyroid illness to name a few!

The role of Vitamin D in these illnesses has become apparent as the levels of Vitamin D that seem to improve and in some cases “cure those maladies” is found to be way higher than most people currently have in their blood stream.

To many times it appears as if we are in the midst of a “Low Vitamin D” epidemic.

As far as the marketing goes, the internet rules these days and careers are made and broken on whether or not people are looking at you and Vitamin D is certainly “the hot topic”. Someone will no doubt become famous or more famous using it as a stepping stone into the public consciousness.

Ten Reasons Why America Needs An Oil Change

The Congress has passed some historic health legislation into being. Whether it works or not depends on how much it actually costs. For starters let me tell you why Pharmaceutical Grade fish oil is essential for America.

1 – Fish oil supplements do what no prescription drug can ever do.

2 – Fish oil capsules are all natural and comparatively almost side effects free even in big does.

3 – Dr Dave Omega-3 fish oil reduces death and infirmity from several major causes of aging and death in this country including heart disease, cancer, arthritis, dementias, mood disorders, allergic disorder autoimmune disorders.

4 – Pharmaceutical grade fish oil even in doses as high as 18 grams in cancer patients, improved survival and was very well tolerated.

5 – Other fish oil benefits may make people smarter and give them better memories even if they are not having problems in those areas.

6 – Fish oil capsules help the stress response.

7 – Fish oil capsules help keep the biologic time clocks, the telomeres, longer in sick people and most likely in regular people as well.

This year’s model

Well it’s been a long, long time so I will try to keep it succinct.

Back in late March, when I had the luxury of writing about sneakers and strength training, I was doing very well with my training indeed!

I had gotten to marathon distance on the trails and was on a perfect schedule.

But like every April before this one, this April became my nemesis.

To recap, in April of 2008, I was put out of action for 4 weeks with rip-roaring bilateral Achilles and bilabials anterior tendonitis.

In other words both the front and back of my lower legs were -unctional.

Bad biomechanics!

I got past that just in time to run and finish 2008’s Canadian Death Race as you see on the pictures here on the site of me crossing the line just over 24 hours after the start.

Last April I got either Pertussis or swine flu, no one is sure but I had respiratory problems for months past the race. Race day 2009 was a disaster, which I won’t recap but suffice it to say I had no business being there and had to quit at 30 miles.

OK, now in 2010 I’m doing great, right!?

Well I instructed at Greta Blackburn’s Fitcamp in Cancun in late April.

Greta, for those of you who don’t know, is the originator of the Fitness Boot Camp concept and has been doing them for 25+ years — long before most of the current crop of instructors were even out of grade school!

This one was special and you can read about it at Fitcamp.com but the theme was anti-aging and fitness and we had top people there including yours truly, Dr Joe Mercola, Phil Campbell the godfather of modern sprint and interval training, Bill Andrews discoverer of the human telomerase (longevity gene) and Marjorie Brook AIS guru to name just some of the presenters.

Greta is also one of my co-authors of our upcoming book, “The Immortality Edge” due out in January 2011, published by Wiley and Sons.

Anyway, I did what I always do, led a pack of fit younger people on some very cool but tough “fun runs”. Only 3 miles but chock full of sprints, band work, body weight exercises; these are monster workouts and everyone loves them including me!

But it had been a while since I had done this much speed work in such a short period of time.

Superimposed on top of my distance training it led to a devastating injury in the last 10 yards of the last sprint on the last day of the camp.

It felt like I actually slipped on something with my right foot and it seemed like the right leg went far out behind me.

The ensuing pop, pop, pop in both groins and below my belly button and the immediate seizing up of my movement told me immediately I had done some serious damage.

The words are “sports hernia” but it’s not a hernia at all. As a matter of fact, it has nothing to do with the inguinal canal or the gut like a real hernia does.

My MRI said it best: torn adductors from the right hip to the pubic bone, torn rectus abdominis off the symphysis pubis (the top of the pubic bone) and more of the same on the left side.

Grade 1 is the simple groin pull.

Grade 2, which I had, is fluid inflammation and partial tears: minimum 4 weeks to heal and often months.

Grade 3 is a complete tear and surgery is usually required.

I did see a surgeon but no one in my area was interested in even coming close to operating on this as much due to their own inexperience with the problems as the actual protocol for taking care of it.

I very quickly became aware of the absolute lack of information and consistency of what was available. Everyone had different opinions on how long it would take to get better and how to treat it. I can never pick anything simple!

So I rested, hit the Airdyne, stretched and strengthened.

Long story short, I did a 40 mile run in late June and had a great CDR prep camp last week.

So in spite of my nasty injury and some residual pain I am off to Grande Cache in 2 weeks to run my third Canadian Death Race.

Wish me luck!!

P.S. Greta will be hosting another monster fitness and longevity event in November at her home base in Malibu California and again in Cancun at the beautiful Ceiba del Mar on the Mayan Riviera. I plan on being at both of them so come see us and let us teach you how not to get hurt, how to live long and healthy and to be in top shape! Fitcamp.com
