Outage knocks BlackBerry users offline

Tuesday 12 February 2008 @ 5:02 pm

BlackBerry mobile data services were disrupted Monday afternoon due to a problem with Research In Motion's infrastructure, apparently affecting customers of all major North American mobile operators, an AT&T Wireless spokesman said.

RIM told AT&T the problem began at about 3:30 p.m. Eastern Time and that the Waterloo, Ontario, company was working to identify and solve the problem, said AT&T spokesman Mark Siegel. RIM officials were not immediately available for comment.

After 6 p.m. Eastern, users on a BlackBerry Internet message board began reporting that service had returned to normal.

The popular smart phones rely on both a cellular network for transport and RIM's own network for pushing e-mail to end-users. Last month, problems with AT&T's network disrupted service to some of its subscribers with BlackBerrys, as well as iPhone users.

Several users on various mobile networks reported connection problems on Monday afternoon on the message board.

BlackBerry users may not be able to send or receive messages, browse the Internet, or use the BlackBerry Internet Service Web site, according to a message from RIM that some users on the board posted. In addition, BlackBerry Enterprise Servers may not be able to connect to RIM's infrastructure, and carriers and resellers may not be able to create accounts or provision services, the notice said. The outage happened because "a component of the network infrastructure is experiencing a service interruption."

Zenprise, a maker of service management software that monitors BlackBerry service and notifies administrators of problems, detected the outage and notified customers at 3:23 p.m. Eastern, according to Ahmed Datoo, Zenprise's vice president of marketing. After running a series of tests, Zenprise determined that the root of the problem was in RIM's infrastructure. The Fremont, California, company, which counts about 100 enterprises and SMBs among its customers, has not determined the total scope of the outage. BlackBerry service for Zenprise's own customers has been going up and down during the outage, Datoo said.

Nokia integrates Google into its search application

Tuesday 12 February 2008 @ 5:02 pm

Nokia will integrate Google's search engine into its own search application on four of its latest phones unveiled at the Mobile World Congress, the companies said on Tuesday.

Google will appear on the N96, N78, 6210 Navigator, and the 6220 classic in select markets at first. Eventually, the option will be extended to other handsets in more than 100 countries, Nokia said.

Nokia has collaborated with Google before, although Google is increasingly encroaching on its partner’s turf.

In Barcelona this week, several chip manufacturers are displaying prototypes of mobile phones using Google's Android software stack. If other phone manufacturers embrace Android, it could eventually pose a challenge to Nokia's dominating share of the mobile market.

Nokia first integrated Google's search engine on its Internet tablet PCs. The company also enabled support for Google's YouTube video-sharing Web site on its popular N95 phone.

The Google search option will supplement Nokia's Search software, which is free to download and compatible with a range of the company's handsets. That search function can be used to find content on the phone as well as on the Internet.

No messages lost in BlackBerry outage, RIM says

Tuesday 12 February 2008 @ 5:02 pm

Research In Motion acknowledged an outage left users in the Americas without access to their BlackBerry e-mail service on Monday, but said no messages were lost during the incident.

The outage started at around 3:30 p.m. Eastern time and lasted for about three hours, causing "intermittent delays" for data services, RIM said in an e-mail statement released hours after normal BlackBerry service had been restored.

"No messages were lost and message queues began to be cleared after normal service levels were restored," RIM said, adding that voice and SMS services operated normally during the outage.

RIM offered an apology to users affected by the outage, but did not offer an explanation of what happened. The company only said it "continues to focus on providing industry-leading reliability in its products and services."

Monday's outage echoed a similar disruption that took place on April 17-18, 2007. RIM blamed the earlier service disruption on the introduction of a new software routine meant to optimize system cache memory. The problems caused by the introduction of the new routine were exacerbated by the poor performance of back-up systems, RIM said at the time.

After the April 2007 outage, RIM promised that aspects of its testing, monitoring, and recovery systems would be enhanced to prevent a recurrence of the incident.

Serious Cervical Cancer Stages and Treatments

Tuesday 12 February 2008 @ 4:35 pm

Serious cases of cervical cancer can be successfully treated, although it is best to catch cervical cancer early. The best way to do this is with regular, routine and periodic paps tests. In the invasive stage more drastic measures need to be taken to stop the spread of cancer and even in this case if the cancer has not moved beyond the cervics there is nearly a 90% rate of survival. Forty years ago we couldn’t say that, so things have come along way. By getting paps tests abnormal cells are found early and removed or treated very easily.

There are many ways used to treat later stage cervical cancer. Hysterectomy surgery in the invasive stages is one of the more popular ways to treat cervical cancer and is used often inn younger women, because it preserve the ovaries. Hysterectomy removes the uterus and cervix thus removing the cancer in the process. Hysterectomies in more serious cases include removing part of the vagina, cervix, uterus as well as any lumph nodes in the region.

Radical trachelectomy can be another method used to preserve fertility, this would remove the cervix and lower part of the uterus, but the rest of the uterus is left for bearing the fetus. Lymph nodes are also removed in the pelvis and there is further surveillance to see if cancer has spread. Chemotherapy anti cancer drugs can also be used to enter the patients bloodstream which can increase the effects of radiation to treat cervical cancer. Radiation treatment is also possible to shrink the tumors killing the cancer cells. This prevents the cancer cells from reproducing.

The less serious cases are treated with a simple hysterectomy or radical trachelectomy, which would first choice in invasive stages. Sometimes in later stages a combination of any of these will be used. If you have periodic paps tests you can prevent this level of treatment and even if you have to go through any of these levels of treatment you most likely will end up a cancer survivor like Lance Armstrong. So talk with your doctor, stay informed, do your own research and think on this.

Cancer Curing Brain Theory Concept, Part II

Tuesday 12 February 2008 @ 4:17 pm

Before we further this article, remember I am not a physician or bio-researcher. I believe what I propose will work from my observations and experience, but do not wish to be sued because I do not have a PhD in this field of endeavor. Continuing now with Part II.

Conscientiously going into a theta state of mind, like during the half asleep, half awake dreaming state, with the body on auto pilot and proper oxygen to brain and stimulus to build up the electrical energy to let’s say 100 watts might be the additional boost needed. Above 1.5 volts might be a good point. Although the brain experts would know better a possible better number this is my guess. For those patients who are listed as terminal there are other issues. Stress of dying takes away all the vitamins of the brain and makes people’s bodies work less well. Similarly the mass media hysteria has hurt the average citizen and reduced good decision making which is obvious by simple observation and increased use of Prozac by soccer moms and mid 30’s clients. This is why insomniacs and people worried about international terrorist acts from mass media can allow all their hard fought freedoms of the past be taken away willingly, Patriot Act, without a large amount of public scrutiny.

People can also be stimulated by energy. The Military has been working on secret weapons in this realm able to introduce to subjects thoughts and ideas that they would never think or do normally by ELF; making them angry, hungry, horny, content by radio waves. The Russians did this to their people, KGB mind control, which taught it to the CIA and British Intelligence communities in WWII when the Russian spy was running things in England.

My experiment to cure cancer will build upon that knowledge without in any way questioning the past or commenting on its military mind control uses. The fact is it works and it is available and if so we should use it in cancer research. The Marines and Navy did test on personnel in classrooms and within 5 minutes they had changed their behavior to an alarming rate, nearly 100% of them. The Pentagon is also working on a way to calm down combatants or protestors; actually we are using it now. Source; Aviation Week, MIT Technology Review, and Popular Science.

These technologies maybe an added bonus to my experiment techniques. I wish to use as many known sciences to make sure we can win in the battle against cancer. We know that when we put human beings under stress, they cannot think as to what is really going on. This is why college students choke on tests and athletes screw up under pressure. They are not really in control at all, this maybe why constant training is needed in many sports, so it becomes a reflex. I used these theories to beat people in competition and in sports as a younger man in competitive athletics.

You can create a stressful situation for your opponent whether it is a team sport or man VS man sport, but others can use these facts to beat the odds in a disease or terminal illness. You need to be stronger than all of that, but few really are, and as the society moves forward perhaps even fewer in the future. We know many cannot handle pain and people are wimps under torture techniques. So why not use these techniques to teach the patient to take over them selves since people cannot think on their own in such a way to be able to do this generally? We need another approach to fighting cancer otherwise no one will be able to use my methods and that means they will die or succumb to cancer or have to rely on chemo.

Regarding power needed; here is a quote found on the Internet and if true maybe another form of human energy to use in fighting the cancer:

“Mr. Wenger’s assumption that “nearly all the power emitted by the brain in order to raise the pencil goes, in fact, to raising the pencil” is not correct. In the article I stated that the laser-like energy beam had a “modest dispersion.” I did not specify this in my article (which perhaps I should have) but my research indicated that the geometry of the human head precludes a tightly focused beam. Therefore, a 100 Watt beam would be needed to apply the 1 Watt of power required to lift the pen. This calculation was provided for me by physicist, Lawrence Krauss.”

“Regarding the issue of tachycardia and tachypnea, my article compared the energy output (100 Watts) to moderate exercise. Obviously, one second of exercise is not enough to raise the heart rate or cause shortness of breath. A sustained telekinetic effort, however, should have the same results as moderate exercise.”

I would say if you stayed within the body that 30-100 watts of brain power focused towards the central nervous system to the point needed for five to ten seconds at a time every minute for 2-3 hours a day would work. All the participant needs to know is where to focus the energy. Think if people did this all the time they could repair them selves working on a section at a time as they reached old age. While drinking oxygenated mineral water or sugar water. No chemo, it will not work that way because you are killing the blood supply and oxygen to the brain.

Medical Intuitive Looks at Cancer - Part 4 - Intimacy and Immunity

Tuesday 12 February 2008 @ 4:13 pm

Persons who have an intimate connection with another live longer,
have less pain and recover faster. Their immune system operates
at a higher level then those without the intimacy and connection.
Relationship may be the central issue in all healing: male and
female, old and young, straight and gay. This has been shown to
me again and again in my medical intuitive and clairvoyant work
with clients.

There is an abundance of medical literature linking immune
response to supportive relationships, and would convince the most
ardent doubting Thomas to gather good friends and a significant
other. We need both intimacy and community to boost our immune
systems.

The idea is that intimacy-sensual, sexual intimacy (connecting to
someone on all levels) is a healing act. I believe all illness is
related in some degree to disconnection. In the body, illness
arises from cells that are disconnected. When you experience a
connection with someone, your immune system will function in a
more balanced way. When someone you care about lays their hands
upon you, the immune system functions more efficiently. We even
know through research, that the immune system of two people
living together for a long time begins to fall into synch.

Good relationships can communicate even non-locally. You can be
in New York and your partner can be in Los Angeles, and you can
connect. You can sense when it’s time to call that person. You
know when something needs to be done. That isn’t weird. It’s not
parapsychology; it’s para-intimacy.

Stanislav Grof, in Beyond the Brain, speaks of this as being
“characterized by extreme peace, tranquility, serenity, and
radiant joy. The individual involved experiences a blissful,
tension-free state, a loss of ego boundaries and an absolute
sense of oneness with nature, with the cosmic order, and with
God. A deep intuitive understanding of existence and a flood of
various specific insights of cosmic relevance are characteristic
for this condition.”

With this quality of communication our sexual relationships can
become greater vehicles for intimacy, self-knowledge, and
spiritual evolution. As you make love, look deeply into the eyes
of your beloved, and you’ll open to the most sublime experience
of intimacy.

Serious illness can be isolating and cause a loss of intimacy.
What do we need to do to be intimately connected to ourselves?

My definition of intimacy is having nothing to fear and nothing
to hide. Intimacy is being seen and known as the person you truly
are. It requires vulnerability, even at times when we don’t feel
safe. It requires attention to another person, as well as to our
own emotional well being, even when we feel that our own safety
is at risk. Intimacy requires the acknowledgment of difference,
even when we wish there were none.

Love and intimacy are at the root of what makes us sick and what
makes us well, what causes sadness and what brings happiness,
what makes us suffer and what leads us to healing.

Breast Cancer - 101

Tuesday 12 February 2008 @ 4:08 pm

The cancer is a term for diseases in which abnormal cells divide uncontrollably invading near by tissue and spreading to other parts of the body via blood stream or lymphatic system.

Similarly, in breast cancer, a single cell begins to divide and grow abnormally. This is the most common kind of cancer in women. Besides being women, age is the other important factor for developing breast cancer.
The breast is made up of lobes and ducts. Each breast has 15 to 20 sections called lobes, which have many smaller sections called lobules. Lobules end in dozens of tiny bulbs that can produce milk. The lobes, lobules, and bulbs are linked by thin tubes called ducts.

The breast cancer is classified into:

-Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS)
-Lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS)
-Inflammatory breast cancer
-Recurrent breast cancer

The most common type of breast cancer is ductal carcinoma, which begins in the cells of the ducts. Cancer that begins in the lobes or lobules is called lobular carcinoma and is more often found in both breasts than are other types of breast cancer. Inflammatory breast cancer is an uncommon type of breast cancer in which the breast is warm, red, and swollen. Recurrent breast cancer that has come back after it has been treated.
Early detection through regular breast self-exams and a regular program of mammogram and physical exams show excellent results in curing it. Breast self exam is the process developed by the American cancer society for women to examine the breasts monthly. This process can reveal breast problem. Any swelling or unusual lumps or hardness in the breast is the indication of breast disease and a reason to rush to your doctor.

There are various factors, which increases the chance of getting disease as a breast cancer. Like:

1) Older age
2) A mother or sister with breast cancer.
3) Drinking alcoholic beverages.
4) Being white.
5) Treatment with radiation therapy to the breast/chest.

Women who have an altered gene related to breast cancer and who have had breast cancer in one breast have an increased risk of developing breast cancer in the other breast. These women also have an increased risk of developing ovarian cancer, and may have an increased risk of developing other cancers.

Tests related to detect and diagnose breast cancer are:

1) Mammogram - In which X ray is done of the breast.

2) Biopsy - The removal of cells or tissues so they can be viewed under a microscope by a pathologist to check for signs of cancer. If a lump in the breast is found, the doctor may need to cut out a small piece of the lump.

3) Estrogen and progesterone receptor test: A test to measure the amount of estrogen and progesterone (hormones) receptors in cancer tissue. If cancer is found in the breast, tissue from the tumor is examined in the laboratory to find out whether estrogen and progesterone could affect the way cancer grows. The test results show whether hormone therapy may stop the cancer from growing.

There are different 4 types of treatment option for breast cancer patients:

1) Surgery- Most patients with breast cancer have surgery to remove the cancer from the breast.

2) Radiation therapy - Radiation therapy is a cancer treatment that uses high-energy x-rays or other types of radiation to kill cancer cells.

3) Chemotherapy -Chemotherapy is a cancer treatment that uses drugs to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping the cells from dividing.

4) Hormone therapy - Hormone therapy is a cancer treatment that removes hormones or blocks their action and stops cancer cells from growing. Hormones are substances produced by glands in the body and circulated in the bloodstream.

Cancer Curing Brain Theory Concept, Part III

Tuesday 12 February 2008 @ 4:06 pm

As I continue my theory on curing cancer I wish to further CYA my position. I am not a medical doctor, thank god actually, because the malpractice insurance would drive me nuts. Also since I am not in the medical field at all you cannot sue me for this idea, concept of mine. Now then continuing Part III.

Chemo that is directly induced where needed might work, but we have better technology now and could use specific fluid dynamic beams of energy or radiation pointed at the exact source and area or even non-evasive light. Now then here is some additional information: it is now possible to send thoughts by fax through three-dimensional spatial representation of the brain in hologram video. We have hologram faxing available and Brain Surgeons are using this to show damage in the brain. The guy who thought of it had my friend in Malibu working for his company in LA. Now they can transmit this data by fax, three-dimensional faxing, like sending a cad cam design computer, but you can now fax it with special machinery.

Now we maybe able to use this same idea to send a thought. This relates to my theory of cancer curing so follow along. Wow, eventually the devise would be very small the size of a dime or so to send and receive data or thoughts by way of this devise, this is way in the future, but it could be available to the common man in 20 years or so. Now before this technology gets this small and nano-tech achieves these seemingly impossible feats we can use the basic concept to record a thought for my cancer experiment.

Now just think about this for a second. There have been cancer survivors with very positive thought patterns and attitudes and part of the reason they lived and others died may have been just that. We must mirror these thoughts of strength, character and attitude and place these thought patterns in those who do not have them. We can look into the thought patterns of many cancer survivors and take those and average them and mimic them and place them in the patients. Duplicate them with TMS through fMRI scanning and send those impulses to those areas of the brain of the patient.

Strong patients will be best since those thought patterns can converge. All we have to do is isolate the things I have discussed before in my many articles and in my brain research with regards to the 10,000 chemicals of the brain 2000 interacting at any one time and 200 prevalent. Take the ten strongest components of the 200 and experiment with them. What we are looking for in those miraculous cases, why did they survive, what makes them different, why do some die and others live? We look at the brain areas which light up and release the cancer fighting biological components in each strong willed survivor. We find common ground and record it, then hook a machine up to stimulate those parts of the brain in the other cancer fighting folks.

First we try the first experiment by placing thought of one persons brain into that of another, and yes as strange as this sounds I do believe it is totally possible and as the future marches on, very probable. This experiment to prove my hypothesis takes two people from the same mom, preferably brothers or sisters of the same mom and dad and hopefully born within a short time frame (2-3 years). Grew up and were nurtured by the same parents. Similar birth dates. Twins would also be good for this. To prove my experiment first; You separate the twins by 4000 miles but both at the same altitude preferably sea level. Similar longitude with similar magnetic pulls and similar gravity pull of the Earth; this will make sure that the oxygen level in the brain is similar and it will be a non-artificial environment, not a clean room.

Next; You then hook up a brain scanner that records a thought, a complex one, simple one first time. Then record where in the brain the energy is located in sequence during the thought. This is done all the time. It will take a controlled thought and focused thought at first. Next you send the digital thought sequences to the other coast. You could also fax that three-dimensional model to the East Coast or Pacific side or where you are, and hook up the data and the model to the brother or sister. And recreate the exact impulses where they occurred in the last person on the west coast or East Coast. Provided the diets are similar and the intake is similar, oxygen level, basic genetics are similar, you should have it. The same basic thought. Recorded transferred and sent and then duplicated, Thought transfer.

Now that would be a worthy accomplishment in itself but the possibilities for cancer fighting would be amazing indeed. Now obviously you do not reveal the thought to the other person, let them tell you what the thought is or was. A thought is recorded and therefore timeless. Thoughts can travel through time at least we can travel thoughts to the future. Just like knowledge. Or at least this has been theorized by many including Einstein. Now for my experiment once concept of thought transfer is proven: Now after this is done, you take a cancer survivors abilities of focusing in their own your body, mimic the diet and intake of that person with the patient anywhere in the world.

Is It True that Eating Broccoli Can Reduce Risk of Prostate Cancer

Tuesday 12 February 2008 @ 4:04 pm

Indeed there have been many studies and much research to determine what types of diets can prevent which types of cancers. Some of what you may have heard about which food you eat are merely folklore handed down, while others are actually based on data from actual studies. Eating lots of vegetables seems to lead one to think that there are in fact substantial benefits for all sorts of things to help us remain healthy. Eating fruits, drinking tea, proper intake of vegetables have all been among the things that are often recommended to prevent prostate cancer. It stands to reason that a healthy diet can assist you in reducing the risk of prostate cancer and there is evidence that broccoli indeed may just be one of those vegetables which can help.

One study seems to indicate the fruit intake did not substantially help in reduction of the risk of prostate cancer, but did help in reducing the risks of other cancers. Men who ate vegetables three times a day had a one-third or greater chance of not getting prostate cancer of those that did not have lots of vegetables in their diets.

Which vegetables were considered the best to eat? Well it seems brussel spouts, cabbage, cauliflower and broccoli were some of the best and could increase reduced risk by just over 40%. Orange colored vegetables also hit high on the list by other studies; carrots, sweat potatoes, squash and yams. You should be eating a wide range of to reduce your risk of cancer and different fruits and vegetables prevent different types of cancer. If you have some type of cancer which runs in your family, you ought to do a little research of your own and think on this.

Can You Reduce Your Risk of Breast Cancer

Tuesday 12 February 2008 @ 3:28 pm

We hear it all the timelose weight for your health. Few people however, realize the extent to which this is critical to their physical well-being and ultimately their life expectancy.

In January 2003, the Journal of the American Medical Association featured a study finding that obesity appears to lessen life expectancy, especially among young adults. The researchers compared Body-Mass Index (BMI) to longevity and found a correlation between premature death and higher BMIs. For example, a 20-year-old white male, 5′10″ weighing 288 pounds with a BMI of greater than 40 was estimated to lose 13 years of his life as a result of obesity.Jamie McManus, M.D., F.A.A.F.P. and author of “Your Personal Guide to Wellness” notes that while this study referenced extreme levels of obesity, there are still millions of overweight people in developed countries with a life expectancy rate that is three to five years less than their healthy-weight counterparts. She also estimates that there are 600,000 obesity related deaths each year in America.

Just how does obesity shorten our lifespan? The answer to this question is complex, yet there is a clear link between obesity and the development of cancer. An extensive study conducted by the American Cancer Institute involving 750,000 people showed that obesity significantly increased the risk of cancer developing in the following organs: breast, colon, ovaries, uterus, pancreas, kidneys and gallbladder.

Michael Thun, MD, vice-president of epidemiology and surveillance research for the American Cancer Society (ACS) says one reason obesity may raise cancer risk is because fat cells produce a form of estrogen called estradiol that promotes rapid division of cells, increasing chances of a random genetic error while cells are replicating, which can lead to cancer. In addition, fat centered around the abdomen may increase insulin and insulin-like growth factors in the blood, which may increase cancer risk.

“Women who are obese after menopause have a 50% higher relative risk of breast cancer,” notes Thun, “and obese men have a 40% higher relative risk of colon cancer. Gallbladder and endometrial cancer risks are five times higher for obese individuals”.There is evidence that cancer rates in developed countries are increasing at 5 to 15 times faster than developing countries. A major contributor to this alarming reality has proven to be diet. In populations where the diet consists mostly of fresh fruit and vegetables and whole grains - in contrast to the typical Western diet of fatty meats, refined flours, oils and sugars - the risk of cancer is much lower.

The interaction of diet and the development of cancer is an active field of research and Dr David Heber, M.D., Ph.D. and author of “What Color is Your Diet”, says “It appears that diet has its most significant effects after the cancer has already formed, acting to inhibit or stimulate the growth of that cancer”. At the risk of oversimplifying a complex set of interactions, the typical Western diet that leads to obesity may actually act to stimulate the growth of cancer cells.It is never too late to improve your health through healthful eating and adopting a more health-giving lifestyle. Here are simple steps to follow which can make an immediate improvement to your health and vitality.

1. Check your Body Mass Index (BMI) to determine if weight has become health risk. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 60% of Americans are overweight, defined as having a BMI (a ratio of height to weight) over 25. Of those, nearly half (27%) qualify as obese, with a body mass index of 30 or more. In 1980, just 15% of Americans were considered obese. You can check your BMI at the website below.

2. Match your diet to your body’s requirements. If you eat and drink more calories than your body requires you will put on weight. Learn to control calories and portion sizes, make recipes leaner, and eat infrequently from fast food restaurants. Also learn how to snack with healthful choices.

3. Color your diet with a large variety of colorful, cancer-fighting fruit and vegetables. There are seven different color ranges of both fruit and vegetables and by choosing between 5 to 9 daily serves from a wide range of fruit and vegetables, we are extending our consumption of cancer (and other disease) fighting nutrients.

4. Eat lean protein with every meal. Protein provides a powerful signal to the brain providing a longer sense of fullness. The right source of protein is essential to controlling your hunger with fewer calories and necessary to maintain your lean muscle mass. Choices of protein should be flavored soy shakes with fruit; the white meat of chicken and turkey, seafood such as shrimps, prawns scallops and lobster and ocean fish or vegetarians may prefer soy based meat substitutes.

5. Rev up your metabolism with activity. If you want to enjoy a lifetime of well-being, exercise is a key ingredient. Colleen Doyle, MS, RD, director of nutrition and physical activity for the American Cancer Society (ACS), says adults should do something for 30 minutes each day that takes as much effort as a brisk walk. Children should be active for an hour each day. We are more likely to develop habits around things we enjoy, so seek activities which you enjoy doing. It is also helpful to build physical activity into your daily routine: use the stairs instead of the escalator or lift at work, park your car in the parking bay furthest from the super marketing and don’t use the remote control to change TV channels.

6. Get support to ensure you develop a healthful eating plan and reach your goal weight. Whilst a small percentage of people possess the discipline to lose weight, many obese people have developed strong thoughts and habits concerning the food they eat. In order to establish new habits, most people respond well to some form of consistent encouragement and coaching. A study, “Effects of Internet Behavioral Counseling on Weight Loss in Adults at Risk of Type 2 Diabetes” shows that participants who had the support of weight loss coaching lost more weight than those who didn’t. The study concluded that the support of a weight loss coach can significantly improve weight loss results.

Being overweight or obese has been identified next to smoking, as the most preventable major risk to developing cancer. Even small weight losses have been shown to have beneficial health effects. So it’s never to late to start and you can never be too young or too old to be concerned about your health and do something about achieving a more healthy weight.
