FEBRUARY 2010
Hello,
In response to
the numerous requests for information and an equal amount of
requests for a Healthy Living Section on our site, the
Foundation has enlisted the nutritional and lifestyle
expertise of Dr. Joel Fuhrman. On a personal note, as
Executive Vice President of the Foundation, I have read Dr.
Fuhrman's books and subscribed to his website, which
provides an online forum with Dr. Fuhrman to ask him
questions directly in real-time. I also ordered some of his
wonderful products. In fact, after just 8 weeks of following
his program, I've lost 20 pounds, experienced extraordinary
results in reducing my total cholesterol levels from 214 to
155, and I've achieved a overall nutritional balance.
After having
the pleasure of meeting with Dr. Fuhrman personally, we are
confident that he is the individual to assist the Colon
Cancer Foundation in providing to our followers the most
current information on health, nutrition, and colon cancer
prevention. Dr. Fuhrman has agreed to contribute on a
regular basis with important updates on nutrition and
health. You can view his website at www.drfuhrman.com.
Allow us to
introduce Dr. Fuhrman and his insights. Read more here.
Thank
you,
Robert A. Smith
Executive Vice President

 SUSIE'S CAUSE
AND CARMEN MARC VALVO AT SAKS PALM BEACH
The tremendous
success of the Saks 5th Avenue fashion event has enabled us
to help Susie's Cause and raise funds to continue with our
cutting-edge national education and support programs. Guests
included members of Palm Beach society, as well as many
physicians who are committed to increasing awareness of the
need for early detection of colorectal cancer. Read the full article about this inspiring
event, and see photos
of all of our important guests who made the event glow with
success.
HAVE A
HEART: GET YOUR LOVED ONES SCREENED
According to
the American Cancer Society, 1/3 of all cancer deaths this
year will be related to lifestyle, including poor eating
habits, inactivity, and obesity. Almost all of the
information you may come across urges everyone to be
screened for colon cancer at 50 years of age (45 if you are
African American). It is very important to speak with your
doctor about being screened earlier if you have a history of
colon cancer in your family. But age doesn't always matter
when it comes to diagnosis. And if you care about someone
and they are experiencing any symptoms, encourage them to
get screened. Remember the most common symptoms of colon
cancer are NO SYMPTOMS AT ALL! Visit our website to learn facts about colon
cancer screening at any age.
Then
check out these prevention tips on how you can eat healthy
and stay healthy for your loved
ones!
