Senility is not a certainty of old age. You can do things to help prevent the
onslaught of dementia. Many people make a special effort to eat properly and
exercise physically. However, they leave out a very crucial element; deliberate
mental exercise. Your brain can be exercised.

I’m 50 years old  and live alone.  I was diagnosed with leukemia  (CML)
6 months
ago.  I have a doner ,but, am told  it’s
doutful  I’ll  get  the marrow transplant
because there is  no funding available to
provide a caretaker durning the 100 day
minimum hospital stay. Their  attitude is
it"s not our fault your not married !
There has to be some type of funding
and/or program available somewhere.
I find it hard to believe I’m the only                    one thats ever
been in this position.
I will be very grateful for any information.

                                 Thank You & God Bless

Are you going to do any thing special because of the y2k issue?

Rate your doctor or hospital with the Ritz Survey and let the public
know what patients have actually experienced with your health
providers.  Help us give a voice to the patient population.

You can also win a chance for a new computer by submitting a survey.
Thank you for your assistance in making the first Ritz Survey an
accurate guide which will let people take better care
of their most precious resource, their health.

Have you heard about the “ACCESS” sports bar?

The world’s only patented sports performance bar and / or fat burning bar

The “ACCESS” bar is better than any other sports energy bar in the world.
These are the reasons why:

A) It is scientifically researched. There are 36 scientific journals open
for review about this unique product. There are none for any other product
on the market including the 25 or so other ones sold in stores or health
clubs.

B)  It is scientifically innovative. It is the only bar in the world with
patents. It is not a “me-too” product. The formula and results are the
reasons patents were granted to this product.

C) It has scientific functional predictability. There is no proof in
science. You can only disprove things. A scientific truth means that
something is predictable 99 out of 100 times.

The functional truths with the “ACCESS” bar are:

It suppresses the burning of short-term glucose and enables fat conversion
(fat burning) instead. This is the only patented “fat burning bar” in the
world.

The “ACCESS” bar gives longer sustained energy, up to 2 hours per bar, much
more than anything else available.

The “ACCESS”  bar virtually eliminates the build-up of lactic acid.
Therefore there are no sore muscles after a workout.

The “ACCESS” bar reduces fatigue.

The “ACCESS” bar increases endurance.

There are 18 years of scientific research and development invested into this
exclusive product.

Discover the scientifically proven results of the “ACCESS” bar for yourself
or your sports players.

Someone asked for proof of the scientific journals because they did not
believe that there is only one patented “fat-burning / sports performance
bar” in the world.
I pass on information to people. I do not sell the “ACCESS” bar. I have
found it to be effective, and I have found all information about it to be
truthful. Every other product I have seen does not work. Based on the
background and research is there something in it for you?
Who knows?
This products works. Trying it yourself is the test.

The inventor of the “ACCESS” bar is Doctor Lawrence C.H. Wang, Ph.D., His
training is in animal and human physiology, biochemistry and pharmacology.
He is currently a professor of Physiology at the University of Alberta,
Canada in the Department of Biological Sciences.

Dr. Wang’s current research interests involve energy metabolism and
temperature regulation and include exercise physiology, the enhancement of
cold tolerance in man, hibernation and hypothermia, aging, exercise and
obesity. His publications include four patents, five books, and over 140
original scientific research papers in international journals. His research
has received support from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Council,
Medical Research Council, Canadian Heart and Stroke Foundation, Muttart
Foundation, Alberta Heritage Foundation for Medical Research.
Doctor Wang is currently the North American Editor of the Journal of
Comparative Physiology B, a prestigious international scientific journal. He
is also a member of the editorial boards of the American Journal of
Physiology, Cryobiology, USSR Cryomedicine, and the Journal of Chinese
Medicine.
Doctor Wang has presented scientific lectures in Canada, the United States,
England, France, Germany, Sweden, Belgium, Netherlands, USSR, Taiwan, and
China. He has also presented more than 80 popular lectures to lay audiences.
Doctor Wang is an elected Fellow of the Academy of Sciences of the Royal
Society of Canada (1993), the highest honor recognized by his peers. He has
been the recipient of the Alberta Science and Technology Leadership Award
for Innovation in Technology(1992) (the ACCESS bar) ; the Gordon Royal
Maybee Award from the Canadian Institute of Food Science and Technology
(1992) (the ACCESS bar) ; the Prominent Immigrant Award in Research and
Development from Employment and Immigration Canada and Alberta Career
Development and Employment (1992); the Killam Annual Professorship for
excellence in research, teaching, and community services from the University
of Alberta (1991-92); the Professor in Residence Award from the Alberta
Heritage foundation for Medical Research (1984-85); and the McCalla
Professorship in Science from the University of Alberta (1983-84). Doctor
Wang holds visiting and Honorary Professorships in several prestigious
Chinese universities: Peking Union Medical College, Jinan Medical College,
Qingdao Medical College, and Xinjiang Medical College. Since 1995 Doctor
Wang has been appointed as Presidential Advisor, International Affairs at
the University of Alberta.

Can you find any science behind any other weight loss / sports performance
bar? I can’t.

A lot of Doctor Wang studies have been associated to hibernation of animals
and the study of how animals can live off their stored body fat during
hibernation. Understanding how that process works and how humans can utilize
their own stored fat for heat (therefore energy) is how the “ACCESS” bar
came into existence. The name of the product is also a hint. It utilizes or
“access”es body fat instead of using short-term glucose during activities.
Body heat comes from body fat. You shiver to get warm. This muscle action
(shivering) draws on body fat to produce internal heat. Therefore fat is
utilized. The same happens when animals hibernate and how they survive off
their body stored fat for up to 8 months without dying. A byproduct of fat
utilization is water. That is why animals in hibernation can live without
drinking as well. They wake up occasionally, shiver to produce heat (and
water) and then go back into hibernation and lower their body temperature
again for another few days. They slowly use up the extra stored body fat and
emerge in the spring healthy. Understanding how our body can be encouraged
to use stored body fat is how the “ACCESS” bar came into being.
Every other “bar” only provides calorific value from the bar content itself
and no body fat is utilized.

I’m 73 and overweight. I have to go on a trip in the New Year that will
require considerable walking and stamina. Would anyone care to suggest
the type or types of exercise that would condition me over the
next couple of months for the planned trip. I do realize that two months
won’t make me into a candidate for the Mr. America contest but I’m
willing to consider anything that might help me better withstand the
expected demands of the trip. Thank you and best. Marc
