Dr. Patrick Maguire, The Cancer MD, Makes Prostate Cancer And Breast Cancer Guides Available For $.99 In Honor Of National Prostate Cancer Month And National Breast Cancer Month

When cancer hits home and the diagnosis is prostate cancer or breast cancer, patients naturally experience fear. Dr. Patrick Maguire hopes to alleviate some of those fears and offers important information in his recently published guides, 'Empowered Against Prostate Cancer' and 'Empowered Against Breast Cancer'. Both cancer guides will be available for a limited time for $.99 at Dr. Maguire's website

In the minds of many people, a diagnosis of prostate cancer or breast cancer equals a death sentence. But these widely held beliefs are fallacies, as Dr. Patrick Maguire demonstrates in his recently published guides, 'Empowered Against Prostate Cancer' and 'Empowered Against Breast Cancer'.

"People are hearing conflicting information about testing and various treatment options for prostate and breast cancer," stated Dr. Patrick Maguire. "There are lots of weapons against these types of cancers, but an informed patient is the greatest of them all."

Dr. Maguire has been caring for people with cancer for over 15 years in North Carolina. In 'Empowered Against Prostate Cancer: Treatment Guide With Patient Stories', Dr. Maguire uses patient stories to describe the full spectrum of prostate cancer. Readers will learn:

* How to avoid the TOP 5 MISTAKES men make after a prostate cancer diagnosis
* Why you must know your “risk group”
* Which men should consider no treatment at all
* The real deal about prostate seeds and robotic prostatectomy
* Which new technologies and medicines are improving men’s lives
* The different side effects of these treatments based on real data
* The 10 CRITICAL QUESTIONS to ask your cancer doctor(s)

'Empowered Against Prostate Cancer' was reviewed by national prostate cancer experts from Johns Hopkins and Emory University Hospitals.

In 'Empowered Against Breast Cancer: Treatment Guide With Patient Stories', Dr. Maguire uses seven unique patient stories to describe the spectrum of breast cancer. These include patients with DCIS, early stage invasive, advanced and metastatic (incurable) breast cancers, as well as a man and a very young woman with aggressive disease. In this book, readers will learn:

* How to avoid the TOP 5 MISTAKES patients make after a breast cancer diagnosis
* Which patients are usually able to keep their breast and who needs a mastectomy
* The differences between chemotherapy and the many other systemic treatments
* Who needs radiation therapy and why
* Which new technologies and medicines are dramatically improving patient’s lives
* What breast cancer survivors need to know
* The 10 CRITICAL QUESTIONS to ask your cancer doctor(s)

'Empowered Against Breast Cancer: Treatment Guide with Patient Stories' was reviewed by national breast cancer experts from USC, UCSF, and the Memorial Sloan Kettering Hospitals.

Annette Langer, Author Of 'Healing Through Humor', Chosen As Spotlighted Volunteer By Pleasanton CA Police Department

April is National Volunteer Month. Annette Langer was recently chosen as the first police volunteer to be spotlighted by the Pleasanton CA Police Department. Ms. Langer is a breast cancer survivor, a brain injury survivor, and the author of ‘Healing through Humor: Change Your Focus, Change Your Life’ and ‘A Funny Thing Happened on My Way to the World.’

April is National Volunteer month. Author Annette Langer was recently selected by the Pleasanton CA Police Department, profiling her duties as a police volunteer. Langer is the author of 'Healing through Humor: Change Your Focus, Change Your Life' and 'A Funny Thing Happened on My Way to the World: Diary of A Fearless Travel Agent'. Ms. Langer will combine her work as a police volunteer and her writing skills in her forthcoming book about her experiences of the last seven years as a police volunteer.

“I was so honored to be selected as the first of our twenty-five VIPS (Volunteers in Police Service) to be spotlighted each month. This new project of recognition will assist newer police officers and those who don’t work closely with us to learn more about us and our varied backgrounds,” Langer says. The notice hangs in a prominent spot on the police bulletin board beginning April, National Volunteer Month.

In May 2005, Annette became a volunteer for the Pleasanton Police Department and currently serves on patrol and in the Investigations Division.  She performs administrative duties in the Crime Prevention Unit and assists the Criminal Investigations Unit with the Juvenile Diversion program and with research for complex financial crime cases. She received a Special Recognition award from the Chief of Police in 2006 and was named Police Volunteer of the Year in 2008.

As an author, Langer initially wrote just for herself to create a personal record of all the medical experiences she's had, from brain injury to breast cancer. She thought others might benefit from her positive outlook in order to help overcome their own challenges. As a result, 'Healing through Humor: Change Your Focus, Change Your Life' was born. Published in 2005, the book has become an important catalyst in helping others focus on matters other than the physical obstacles they may be facing. Through her lectures at various hospitals, assisted living centers, community venues, and bookstores, she readily demonstrates her philosophy on life: The world is your oyster—go make a pearl. Her personal stories encompass humor and inspire others to create their own life treasures by developing their ability to recognize their own resilience through the power of positive thinking.

If she were to have a second philosophy on life, it would be simply: Life goes on. Langer's positive outlook is grounded once again in her second book, 'A Funny Thing Happened on My Way to the World, Diary of a Fearless Travel Agent', published in 2010. Her stories detail many comical, unusual and, at times, sobering situations in which she's found herself during her travels to all seven continents. She balances her tales of adventure with a multitude of funny anecdotes, displaying her characteristic positive outlook when facing challenges.

Her forthcoming book to be released in late 2012 details her activities as a volunteer for her local police department. "Eyes and Ears”—Police Volunteers will recount many of the humorous as well as somber experiences she and her volunteer partners have had over the years while performing their duties. An excerpt titled 'Crime Fighter' can be found in the August 23, 2011, issue of 'Chicken Soup for the Soul: Inspiration for the Young at Heart'.

Langer is also a frequent contributor to anthologies, online magazines, and blogs. Her most recent offering titled 'A Long and Bumpy Road to Relief' will appear in the May 22, 2012, issue of 'Chicken Soup for the Soul: Say Goodbye to Back Pain'.

“Being a police volunteer is so rewarding,” says Langer. “I want to share my experiences with people who may be unaware of how far-reaching and gratifying it can be to give back to the community in an unexpected way. Whether working inside the police station or patrolling the city in a police car with a volunteer partner, this experience is both gratifying and exhilarating.”

Annette Langer is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below, or by email at alanger2@gmail.com. 'Healing through Humor: Change Your Focus, Change Your Life' and 'A Funny Thing Happened on My Way to the World' are available in both print and e-book formats at Amazon.com, Smashwords.com and major book retailers. Personally autographed first-edition copies of her books are available through her website.

BioLight Group Offers Information Detailing Why Many Diseases May Share A Major Pathology Factor

According to the Vitamin D Council, current research has also implicated sunlight and vitamin D deficiency as a major factor in the pathology of at least 17 varieties of cancer as well as heart disease, stroke, hypertension, autoimmune diseases, diabetes, depression, chronic pain, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, muscle weakness, muscle wasting, birth defects, periodontal disease, and much more.

For many years, the American public has been told that direct sunlight is counterproductive to good health. Many people have come to believe it necessary to avoid direct sunlight. However, as real science clearly demonstrates, all humans are absolutely dependent on the absorption of vital solar radiation.

”Without light there simply is no health,” states Ken Ceder, CEO of bioLight Group. “We are human photocells whose ultimate biological nutrient is sunlight. Every metabolic process, from enzyme reactions to muscular movements to the digestion of food and the burning of fat, is an electro-chemical biological process regulated and augmented by sunlight energy. A reduction of natural light energy causes a slowdown in these processes leading to decreased metabolism, reduced burning of fat, reduced vitality and compromised immunity.”

Now more than ever millions of people have unwittingly become ‘contemporary cave-dwellers’ living and working indoors. This dramatic reduction of natural light exposure — light that human DNA is programmed to assimilate — and its’ associated disturbance to vital circadian rhythms, has contributed to many health related issues. The late Dr. John Ott, renowned photo biologist and father of full-spectrum light, had coined this adverse health phenomenon "Mal-illumination."

“Like malnutrition,” continued Mr. Ceder, “mal-illumination deprives one of a level of nutrients and rhythmic stimulation that is essential for living as healthy humans. Everyone knows the sun rises and sets every day — this essential cycle sets the basic rhythm of all life. Unknowingly, or perhaps as the result of disinformation, millions of people are out of rhythm with nature and suffer from chronic mal-illumination…a root cause of poor health and disease. Slick marketing campaigns and misinformation have literally scared the daylight out of us.”

According to the Vitamin D Council, current research has implicated sunlight and vitamin D deficiency as a major factor in the pathology of at least 17 varieties of cancer as well as heart disease, stroke, hypertension, autoimmune diseases, diabetes, depression, chronic pain, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, muscle weakness, muscle wasting, birth defects, periodontal disease, and more. The September 2009 issue of The American Journal of Medicine (Volume 122, Issue 9) has an extensive review of the research on the benefits of vitamin D and points to fascinating 'life extension' potential. The Journal notes that all cause mortality is decreased by at least 7% in a meta-analysis of 18 randomized trials of vitamin D supplementation.

"What can be perceived as many different health problems," stated Mr. Ceder, " may instead be one 'root' problem that shows itself in a variety of ways or symptoms (or exacerbates existing problems without being the only contributing factor) that are labeled as individual diseases...much like a white light splitting into many colors when passing through a prism. That root problem is malillumination."

Further information, including a no charge e-book, is available from The BioLight group at the company’s website at http://www.Malillumination.org. Mr. Ceder is available for interview and can be reached using the information below or by email at research@malillumination.org.
