| An avalanche of favorable studies has resulted in record numbers of Americans supplementing with vitamin D. Since it is virtually impossible to obtain adequate vitamin D from food sources, supplementation with 5,000-8,000 IU daily is required by many aging individuals. Overlooked by almost everyone (except Life Extension® members) is the critical importance of vitamin K. If one is concerned enough about their health to take higher dose vitamin D, it seems absurd to miss out on the benefits of vitamin K. For instance, vitamin D facilitates calcium absorption into the bloodstream and thus plays an important role in maintaining bone density. Less recognized is the need for vitamin K to transport calcium from the bloodstream into the bone. Vitamin K is also required by calcium-regulating proteins in the arteries. 1-5 Together these two vitamins help maintain youthful calcium skeletal distribution while promoting vascular health. 6-11 Vitamin K can be found in small amounts in the diet, but obtaining the desired higher potencies requires supplementation. Many Life Extension members obtain optimal potencies of long-acting vitamin K in the Super Booster or Super K formulations. An increasing number of new members, however, are asking for high-potency vitamin D—but are not taking any supplemental vitamin K. To directly address this problem, Life Extension® has put together a formula called Vitamins D and K with Sea-Iodine™. Like vitamins D and K, few Americans obtain optimal amounts of iodine. As people seek to limit their salt intake, this deficit is exacerbated since iodized salt is the principal source of this mineral in many diets. We expect the issue of iodine insufficiency to receive more media attention as new studies uncover the problems this creates. Sea-Iodine™ is included in this formula to provide iodine without the harmful effects of sodium. |

Basal Cell Cancer Symptoms:
This cancer typically appears as a white, waxy lump or a brown, scaly patch on sun-exposed areas, such as the face and neck.
Basal Cell Cancer Treatments:
Basal cell cancer is generally less invasive. The conventional treatment for basal cell cancer is surgery such as excisional surgery, electrosurgery, cryosurgery, laser surgery, and topical medications. For those seeking alternative therapy there are topical treatments that have been successful in basal cell cancer.
Breast Cancer Symptoms:
Symptoms of Breast Cancer include a lump in the breast, bloody discharge from the nipple, and changes in the shape or texture of the nipple or breast. The cancer markers CA 15-3 and CA 27.29 and CA-125 may be elevated in breast cancer. There is no scientific evidence in the peer-reviewed medical literature that routine, yearly mammograms in women under 70 years of age improves long-term survival or quality of life in breast cancer.
Breast Cancer Treatments:
Conventional treatments typically include surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, and hormone therapy. There is simply no scientific evidence in the peer-reviewed medical literature of improved long-term survival or quality of life.
Colon Cancer Symptoms:
Changes in bowel habits, changes in stool consistency or color, blood in stool, black tarry stools, or abdominal discomfort. Often the cancer marker Carcino-Embryonic Antigen (CEA) is elevated in colon cancer. Routine yearly colonoscopies do not improve long-term survival.
Colon Cancer Treatments:
Conventional cancer treatments usually begin with surgery and are followed by chemotherapy and, less often, by radiation. There is simply no scientific evidence in the peer-reviewed medical literature of improved long-term survival or quality of life.
Leukemia Symptoms:
Many patients with slow-growing types of leukemias don't have symptoms. Rapidly growing types of leukemia may cause symptoms that include fatigue, weight loss, frequent infections, and easy bleeding or bruising.
Leukemia Treatments:
Chemotherapy is the major form of conventional treatment for leukemia. For some types of leukemia, biological therapy can be useful to help your immune system recognize and attack leukemia cells. With the exception of certain childhood leukemia, there is simply no scientific evidence in the peer-reviewed medical literature of improved long-term survival or quality of life with chemotherapy.
Lung Cancer Symptoms:
Symptoms include cough (often with blood), chest pain, wheezing, and weight loss. These symptoms often don't appear until the cancer is advanced.
Lung Cancer Treatments:
Conventional treatments can include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted drug therapy, and immunotherapy. There is simply no scientific evidence in the peer-reviewed medical literature of improved long-term survival or quality of life.
Lymphoma Symptoms:
Symptoms include enlarged lymph nodes, fatigue, and weight loss.
Lymphoma Treatments:
Conventional lymphoma treatment may involve chemotherapy, immunotherapy medications, radiation therapy, a bone marrow transplant, or some combination of these. With the exception of Hodgkin's Lymphoma (1), there is simply no scientific evidence in the peer-reviewed medical literature of improved long-term survival or quality of life, in most forms of lymphoma after conventional treatment. The 5-year survival rate for all people with Hodgkin lymphoma is 87%.
Melanoma Symptoms:
Symptoms might include a new, unusual growth or a change in an existing mole. Melanomas can occur anywhere on the body.
Melanoma Treatments:
Conventional treatments include surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, immunotherapy. There is simply no scientific evidence in the peer-reviewed medical literature of improved long-term survival or quality of life after conventional melanoma treatments.
Pancreatic Cancer Symptoms:
Symptoms of pancreatic cancer include abdominal pain (70%), weight loss, jaundice, indigestion, nausea and vomiting, bowel problems, blood clots, diabetes, fatigue, depression, and enlarged gall bladder. Often the tumor marker CA19-9 is elevated in pancreatic cancer.
Pancreatic Cancer Treatments:
Unfortunately, pancreatic cancer is most often diagnosed in an advanced stage when it is largely fatal. During the early stages, when it may be more treatable, there are generally no signs of symptoms. Conventional treatments include surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. There is simply no scientific evidence in the peer-reviewed medical literature of improved long-term survival or quality of life with conventional treatment.
Prostate Cancer Symptoms:
Symptoms include difficulty with urination, but often there are no symptoms at all. Therefore, the cancer marker Prostatic Specific Antigen (PSA) blood test is an important, and often only, diagnostic option men for over 60 years old.
Prostate Cancer Treatments:
Conventional treatment for prostate cancer include surgery, radiation, hormone therapy (chemical castration), and chemotherapy. There is simply no scientific evidence in the peer-reviewed medical literature of improved long-term survival or quality of life.

Surgery:
Surgery can help us fight a smaller, weaker, and wounded enemy.
Chemotherapy is a common treatment for many types of cancer. Most patients will experience mild to severe side effects. Side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, hair loss, and fatigue, damage to the bone marrow, damage to the immune system, heart damage, and, in rare instances, death. There is simply no scientific evidence in the peer-reviewed medical literature of improved long-term survival or quality of life in up to 92% of people with cancer. Chemotherapy can cause cancer.
Radiation Therapy:
Radiation is a common treatment for many types of cancer. There is simply no scientific evidence in the peer-reviewed medical literature of improved long-term survival or quality of life. Radiation can cause cancer. Diagnostic radiation may be a major cause of human cancer.
Bone Marrow Transplant:
A bone marrow transplant is when bone marrow stem cells are taken from a donor so you can eliminate cancer infected bone marrow. There is simply no scientific evidence in the peer-reviewed medical literature of improved long-term survival or quality of life.
Immunotherapy:
Immunotherapy is a promising new form of approach to fight cancer by enhancing, stimulating, augmenting, and releasing the immune system to recognize and attack cancer. However, as of yet, There is simply no scientific evidence in the peer-reviewed medical literature of improved long-term survival or quality of life, in any type of cancer.
Hormone Therapy:
By giving hormones, or blocking hormones, or their effects, we may slow the growth of cancer cells in certain hormonally sensitive cancers like breast cancer, prostate cancer, and pancreatic cancer. There is simply no scientific evidence in the peer-reviewed medical literature of improved long-term survival or quality of life.
Targeted Drug Therapy:
Targeted drug therapy or individualized drug therapy exploits the difference between cancer cells and normal cells. While promising, currently There is simply no scientific evidence in the peer-reviewed medical literature of improved long-term survival or quality of life in any type of cancer.
Cryoablation:
Cryoablation is a treatment that kills cancer cells by freezing a tumor. While less invasive than some other types of treatment, there is simply no scientific evidence in the peer-reviewed medical literature that cryoablation improves long-term survival or quality of life.
Radio-Frequency Ablation:
Electrical energy is used to heat cancer cells in order to kill them. Similar to Cryoablation, a thin needle is inserted into the cancer tissue to heat it and kill nearby cells. There is simply no scientific evidence in the peer-reviewed medical literature of improved long-term survival or quality of life.
Clinical Trials:
Clinical trials are designed for drug approval. Most clinical trials are fixated on drug approval alone and are hopelessly biased.
