ADVISORY...for Thursday Thursday: see week.  (Dec. 18)

--(BUSINESS WIRE)

TempusClinic:

To:         Print and broadcast journalists covering health, wellness,
            and fitness

What:       Secretary of State Colin Powell is only the most recent
            prominent man to undergo surgery for prostate cancer, of
            which 30,000 American men died last year, according to the
            American Cancer Society. The most common cancer among
            American men, it is not only treatable; its risk factors
            can be highly reduced through proper diet.

Who:        Dr. Mike Nichols, founder of California's TempusClinic,
            is available for comment. Dr. Nichols says, "Men perceive
            prostate cancer as the likely bane of their aging. But
            never forget that most men who have prostate cancer die,
            not from prostate cancer, but from heart disease; so keep
            prostate cancer in perspective. That said, prostate
            cancer, of all cancers, has been shown to be most closely
            linked to diet. Multiple well-done studies have
            demonstrated the protective effects of:

            --  the Omega three fatty acids from fish and other
                sources;

            --  lycopene from tomatoes; and

            --  selenium from any source.

            "In other words, a healthy diet that is rich in nuts and
            seeds and fresh vegetables, and in protein sources rich in
            the Omega threes, protects against prostate cancer as well
            as heart disease. The body wants to heal; give it a hand
            by eating right and training hard."

Background: After residency at Stanford and George Washington
            University, Dr. Mike Nichols thrived in private practice
            for 20 years before starting TempusClinic in 2002. Located
