 Make sure you get adequate amounts of cancer-fighting vitamin D through exposure to sunlight -- about 10 to 15 minutes each day if you have fair skin, or ten times as long if you have dark skin pigmentation. Stay well hydrated to ensure that your body rids itself of toxins. Avoid smoking and don't use conventional fragrance, cosmetics and personal care products -- virtually all of them contain cancer-causing chemicals.
Preventing cancer is actually quite straightforward. |

 This unlikely-sounding candidate combines ideal amounts of vitamin E, magnesium, niacin, potassium and zinc—all required for optimum sex.
And it gets even better. Celery contains arginine, a natural amino acid that expands blood vessels much like Viagra. Yet, unlike Viagra, arginine also increases blood flow to the clitoris and makes female genitals more responsive.
Furthermore, the actual aroma of celery contains two steroids called androsterone and androstenol. The research showed that the subtle odor of these two chemicals travels through the nose and attracts the opposite sex. |
| Magnesium and potassium work together to help decrease high blood pressure, while folate and vitamin B6 help convert the potentially dangerous protein molecule homocysteine into other, benign molecules. Homocysteine can directly damage blood vessel walls if not promptly converted; high levels are associated with a significantly increased risk of heart attack and stroke.
The iron content in green beans is twice as high as in spinach. This useful plant iron comes in ionic, organic form, unlike the toxic rust (iron oxide) contained in food supplements and breakfast cereals. |
| Except for a tiny amount that is actually used by the body, the rest would be excreted in the gut and urine. vitamin C is not as harmless as many believe it is, especially in its synthetic and isolated form.
Uric acid crystals make up another type of kidney stone. Uric acid is a waste product that is formed from purines in food. |
| As shown later, these are deaths that are easily preventable through the vitamin D produced by the body in response to regular sun exposure.
Unfortunately, it is the ultraviolet portion of sunlight that is the most easily eliminated by windows, houses, spectacles, sunglasses, sun lotions, and clothing. Before antibiotic drugs were discovered in the 1930s—penicillin having been the first one—the healing power of sunlight was favored by the medical community, at least in Europe. |

| By the way, don't you find it interesting that the cancer industry seems to have no interest whatsoever in urging people to avoid eating sodium nitrite, or to stop using cancer-causing skin care products, or to get more sunlight on their skin so they can prevent cancer with vitamin D? As you'll read in many other articles I've written here, it is my firm belief that the cancer industry has no interest whatsoever in preventing cancer, and it primarily interested in treating cancer for profit. This view is generally agreed upon by noted cancer experts such as Dr. Samuel Epstein and Dr. |

 There's no money in recommending sunlight, even though the creation of vitamin D through sunlight actually drops breast cancer rates by nearly fifty percent.
With good nutrition and avoidance of cancer-causing chemicals, we could eliminate around 90 percent of the cancer in modern nations. Doctors are not taught nutrition in medical school. They actually graduate from medical school as nutritionally ignorant practitioners of medicine. How can you claim to practice medicine when you don't understand the relationship between food and health? |

CURRENT PRACTICAL USES of its vitamin content; for this reason, most commercially-produced acerola is harvested while still green.
Acerola also provides twice as much magnesium, pantothenic acid, and potassium as oranges. It also contains vitamin A (4,300 to 12,500 IU/100 g, compared to approximately 11,000 IU for raw carrots) and thiamine, riboflavin, and niacin in concentrations comparable to those in other fruits.
Thus far, 150 other constituents have been identified in acerola. |

 They are rich in vitamins, particularly thiamine, riboflavin and vitamin C, enough to make the Amerindian Inca ingestion of about two ounces of chewed leaves significant in terms of daily requirements. Chewing the leaves, say the Indians, promotes longevity and maintains teeth and gums in attractive health. This may be because the alkaloids in coca contain a substance congenial to dental health, or the act of chewing releases some matter unknown to dental experts but productive of good oral hygiene. |

 Imagine a nation where Whole Foods stores are stripped of all herbs and supplements, where vitamin shops are emptied and abandoned, where books that promote herbs are bulldozed into large piles and burned, where natural healers are rounded up and "disappeared" into incarceration centers. This is the future that will become reality if the FDA has its way. The plan has been explained to us in plain language. Any agency that openly states "vegetable juice will be regulated as a drug" has quite simply lost its marbles. We're are now clearly being regulated by clinically insane bureaucrats. |

 With the turn of the millennium, several clinical trials began to report no relationship between vitamin E, usually at a dose of 400 IU, and either cancer or heart disease. One of those with negative findings was the HOPE (Heart Outcomes Prevention Evaluation) study, a double-blind, placebo-controlled international trial of patients between ages 50 and 75 with vascular disease or diabetes, reported on patients that had been followed for five years.5 In 2003, after reviewing that study and others, the U.S. |

| If a doctor or inventor/entrepreneur finds a vitamin or a therapeutic treatment that alleviates or cures a chronic disease, he will be unable to advance his work without approved and costly human trials. Anecdotal evidence is never given consideration by the FDA, and few individuals have the resources to compete with large pharmaceuticals in seeking FDA approval. Some individuals have tried to comply with FDA requirements to advance a promising cure/treatment, only to find themselves hamstrung by FDA paperwork. |

 Few people have heard about this special variation of vitamin Bj, which has been shown to prevent nerve and blood vessel damage—and the resulting complications—that are caused by glycation. Many experimental studies show that benfotiamine relieves pain due to the nerve and inflammatory damage wrought by glycation, helps alleviate oxidative damage, and prevents glycation-induced damage to the all-important endothelium in blood vessels. |

 But what was surprising was that even after adjusting for levels of dietary fiber, vitamin E, folic acid, phytic acid, iron, zinc, magnesium, and manganese in the diet (all the good things we know are in whole grains), they found an additional health benefit to eating whole grains that none of the nutrients alone or even together could explain. That is, subjects getting the same amounts of these nutrients from other sources were not as healthy as the whole-grain eaters. "This analysis suggests that something else in the whole grain protects against death. |

 Needed supplements: vitamin B2 (25 mg daily), CoQ10 (30-100 mg daily).
MONOAMINE OXIDASE INHIBITORS (MAOIS): isocarboxazid (Marplan), phenelzine (Nardil), and tranylcypromine (Parnate)
These are seldom used, and only when others have failed.
Actions: They work by inhibiting or reducing the levels of the enzyme monoamine oxidase (MAO) that breaks down neurotransmitters in the brain. MAOIs also can cause blood pressure to rise.
Side effects: They can cause dangerously high blood pressure if taken with decongestants, antihistamines, or foods containing tyramine, such as cheese or red wine. |

 It will not do anything in the generation of vitamin D -- the production of vitamin D. What it will do, though, is it will affect your serotonin level in your brain. Serotonin is the feel-good neurotransmitter in the brain that Prozac, and that whole class of antidepressants, is meant to elevate -- they're the SSRI drugs.
Mike: Right.
Pederson: Sunlight also elevates serotonin, right?
Mike: Yes.
Pederson: That feeling you get on a nice sunny day when you're out there -- and you get that feeling in the sun that's actually a serotonergic response caused by the sunlight, right? |

| Works with vitamin E to prevent oxidation of fats throughout the body, providing improved protection against premature aging and chronic disease.
CoQ10 is found in many foods, mostly meats, vegetable oils (including soybean), fish, nuts, and some vegetables, but the daily intake of the average person through diet is below 5 mg—a fraction of the amount usually taken in supplement form (30 to 300 mg). It's estimated that only about 25 percent of the CoQ10 in your body is supplied through diet. |

| Despite this unexpected finding, the authors of the Women's Health Study do "not support recommending vitamin E supplementation for [the prevention of heart disease] or cancer among healthy women." Rather they promote "therapeutic lifestyle changes including a healthy diet" as the best form of primary prevention.10
How do we explain these disappointing and unexpected results? We might think that supplementary pills cannot substitute for nutrients in natural foods. Common sense would support the notion that taking a pill is not the same as eating. |
| In this latter category are biofeedback, hypnosis, guided imagery, relaxation techniques, "lifestyle diet," and vitamin therapy, which, together accounted for less than 10% of total visits to alternative medical practitioners.
Four in ten of these treatments were disclosed to physicians (though we are as always skeptical of such self-reported data), a rate which did not change from 1990. Extrapolation to the U.S. population suggests that there were 629 million visits to alternative medical practitioners, compared with 427 million in 1990. |
| It seems apparent that vitamin E is not effective in the secondary prevention of heart disease or cancer, or in the primary prevention of cancer. It is possible that the supplement is helpful in the primary prevention of heart disease, particularly in protecting against sudden heart failure.
A SKEPTICAL ADDENDUM
Alas, were that the only disappointing finding. Other widely touted antioxidants have not been shown to prevent disease. At the turn of the millennium, one of the most touted supplement was omega-3 fatty acids, found in high concentrations in fish oil. |

 TAKE 400 IU OF vitamin E PER DAY.
Calcium-Magnesium Combo
Most women and men find it difficult to get the recommended 1,200-1,500 mg of calcium per day from their diet. Calcium intake should therefore be supplemented with a calcium-magnesium combination supplement. The right kind of fat is necessary for calcium availability in the soft tissues and to promote calcium elevation in the bloodstream so that muscles contract properly and maintain their tone, nerves function smoothly, blood clots when needed, and bones and teeth remain strong and healthy. |

| In that book, I documented the FDA ordered book burnings, the raids on vitamin shops, the kidnapping of natural health practitioners, the threats, intimidation and oppression tactics that have been used to suppress natural medicine for nearly a hundred years now. And now, with this CAM Products Regulation effort, the FDA is about to deal a final, fatal blow to the alternative medicine industry, outlawing nutritional supplements, functional foods, homeopathy and natural therapies all at once.
