 My senior dog needed a lot more vitamin C. My adult dog needed 1,000 milligrams less a day than the puppies and the senior dog. You can address the individual needs of the pet and bring a total supplement that is going to help that animal more than one bag of dog food will.
We don't have puppy formula or senior formula for that reason. Most companies that have a senior or puppy food are only cleaning up their meat source from what they put in their adult formula. For instance, a puppy can't eat as much crap as an adult dog can, and the senior dog can't process as much crap as an adult dog can. |
| You can be in an office full of sick people and never get sick if you are taking your vitamin C and garlic. In medicine today, we still blame the virus or bacteria.
Mike: It's the germ theory. It still dominates. I still have to ask about some more ingredients, but this is so fascinating that I have to ask you about some other things. I hear this all the time about people food, and I'm sure the same is true for pet food. People complain about the cost. They say, "Oh, I can't afford to spend another 50 cents a meal on my dog." For my last dog, I spent $1,000 in the emergency room in one day. |

 It's true we have used vitamin C for the same reasons. So, I thought I was doing everything I could possibly do for this dog. I had her dipped several times, so she wouldn't get fleas or ticks. Well, at 9 months old, she developed Parvo and died. I was floored. First of all, she had all her Parvo shots, so why should she get Parvo? Second, why did the Parvo ravage her digestive tract? Well, I was in a nutrition class and she would come with me to that class. When I came in without her, everyone wanted to know were she was. I told everyone I lost her to Parvo. |
| I brought a vitamin C product out and a yucca product out. These were the two supplements I used the most. From there, I just started to develop more and more products. I got very frustrated with the pet food situation. Then we developed pet foods. As hard as it was, I'm very glad that I did it, because we are still the only company that is truly doing it.
Mike: Are you finding a lot of acceptance for your product line?
Newman: Yes I am. It grows through word-of-mouth. The retailers who bring it in become very loyal to us, because their customers are very loyal to them. |

 As you may know, camu is very high in antioxidants and contains an extremely high level of vitamin C. If you put this serum on your skin, there's no question about it: These nutrients will be absorbed into the skin and provide external nutritional.
The efficacy of external medicine
Many herbs and medicines throughout the centuries have been used externally. For example, you can chew up comfrey leaves, make a paste, apply that paste to a broken bone, and it will help that bone heal more quickly. Herbs do get absorbed through the skin.
Lots of things get absorbed through the skin. |

 If the options in (2) are not available at the moment, taking a vegan-quality vitamin B12 supplement daily may be appropriate, especially when one is under stress, pregnant, nursing and/or cultivating increased neurological health.
4 If you feel your intestinal flora and food absorption are not excellent, consider regularly including supplemental enzymes and probiotics in your diet. Supplemental enzymes increase digestive efficiency. Probiotic colonies help synthesize nutrients, they counteract pathogenic microbes, and they improve the overall internal environment. |

 Rickets, by the way, is due to a lack of vitamin D or sunshine rather than lack of calcium.) "My sister-in-law is a dietitian and she says your children won't grow properly." (After discontinuing dairy products for years, all three of my girls are in the top 10 percent for their height.)

Lovejoy: You can also find it at GNC stores and Ralph's Markets grocery stores in California. We actually broke into the supermarket. They really like it, which is good. They don't know where to put us, as we're a whole food product and we're all-natural. We're thinking maybe in the vegetable section.
Mike: Are you working on maybe Wild Oats or Whole Foods?
Lovejoy: Absolutely. We are definitely working on Wild Oats and Whole Foods. They're huge.
Mike: Hopefully, it'll be available in those stores at some point. |

 They were smaller, and people suffered diseases of malnutrition -- things like rickets, lack of vitamin D and so on. So the message from the USDA at that time was very much aligned with the message of all the food producers. The grain farmers were happy because the USDA said, "Eat more corn and wheat and rice." The beef industry was happy because it said, "Eat more beef." And, of course, the milk industry was happy because everybody said, "Eat more butter, drink more milk." The message basically was, open your mouth and stuff as much as you can down that throat. |

 You don't have to be a victim
Regardless of what the next outbreak looks like, there will be millions of people whose lives are protected because they are able to get the right herb, the right mineral, the right vitamin, the right strategy for surviving those viral epidemics. Flu shots won't save you. In fact, as you'll see here, flu shots may harm you by weakening your defense against the bird flu. It's a contentious idea, and hotly debated by the medical community. |

 One company offers you a chicken casserole recipe for $2, another company offers you chicken casserole with superfood elements and extra vitamin and mineral content, including phytonutrients and perhaps some anticancer compounds, for only $2.05. Which one would you go with? Well, I'd pay the extra nickel and get the health benefits. If we can create an environment in which we have that kind of competition, then perhaps this won't be such a long-term concern, because chances are that creating food in the FoodFab is going to be much cheaper than going out and buying it or growing it yourself. |
| Given the way that patent laws are written today, it probably wouldn't be very difficult for them to claim a patent on vitamin D if it were used in the food fabrication device, because they could claim a patent on not just the molecule itself, but also the process of assembling the molecule at the nano scale. All of a sudden, you've got a situation where people who can afford to be healthy, and who can afford to pay for nutrition through these various royalties, are going to get that nutrition and be healthy. |

 However, the vitamin D being there is half the reason it is as effective as it is, in regards to brain health and [other areas].
Mike: Heavy metals are not a concern with the distillation process you use?
Benoit: No. We use a molecular distillation process for our cod liver oil, but we keep the integrity of the oil and the naturally occurring levels of EPA -- which is the eicosapentaenoic acid that helps with inflammation -- and the DHA -- which is the docosahexaenoic acid that helps nervous system, brain health and synaptic firing. At their natural levels, they will be the most effective. |

 If this rule is allowed to stand, it represents the end of health justice, the end of the power of Congress, and the surrender of absolute power to an agency of such arrogance and evil that it has conducted armed raids on vitamin clinics, organized the raid of a church, and even ordered the destruction of recipe books it didn't want to see published. (Supporting documents are available for all of these statements).

The Benefits of Fatty Foods and Oils (Raw):
• Builds better brain tissue.
• Insulates the nerves; protects the body against pollution.
• Helps reverse heart disease and atherosclerosis because the lipase enzyme present in raw plant fats (except nuts) helps metabolize the cooked fat clogging the arteries and lymph system.
• Replace trans-fatty acids which have hindered the respiration of each cell.
• They are a stabilizing factor in raw diets.
• They ground the body.

 The FDA has confiscated "dangerous" products like flaxseed oil, herbal tea, vitamin C and CoQ10, all in its quest to save the public from the terrible dangers of nutritional medicine.

MY PERSONAL DIET
Words alone cannot describe the level of health I have been privileged to attain eating a 100% raw plant-food diet. All that comes to mind is that I feel an immense gratitude. I feel incredibly fortunate to have even found or discovered the type of health information I have included in this book. I feel honored to be able to share this information with others.
When I went raw, I began to study the simple things, like my fingers and toes. |
| Dietary choices to restore hair loss should include significantly more organic alkaline fruits (papayas, figs, oranges); for vitamin C, a wide variety of organic green-leafed vegetables to reverse any acid-condition in the body; poppy and pumpkin seeds for zinc and occasional dulse or nori seaweed for trace minerals.
For excellent scalp care, use only organic, plant-based shampoos on the hair. Sometimes I simply use a dilute solution of lemon or orange juice as shampoo; I also occasionally use jojoba or sweet almond oil to maintain scalp and hair moisture and to avoid hair knots. |
| MSM lotion used alternately with a topical vitamin C cream also works wonderfully. Thyroid Imbalance
The thyroid is a large endocrine gland situated at the base of the neck. The thyroid controls the basal metabolic rate. An underactive thyroid slows the metabolic rate and increases the possibility of obesity. An overactive thyroid speeds up the metabolism often leaving one excessively thin with bulging eyes. |

As we've thought about the tradition of presenting bouquets of Rhodiola rosea root to Georgian and Siberian brides, we've realized that when a woman brews tea from the root, she likely serves it to her husband in addition to drinking a cup herself. So the herb may enhance fertility in both partners—in the man, by increasing stress resistance and reducing oxidative damage to sperm DNA. |
| Studies have shown that high dietary intakes of antioxidants such as vitamin C and vitamin E may lower Alzheimer's risk.11 Since the disease is associated with oxidative stress (damage caused by oxygen free radicals), impaired glucose metabolism, and reduced cellular energy,14 the notion that Rhodiola rosea may be of some benefit makes sense.

Benoit: Let's not forget the mother. The mother is pregnant, and she's being told, "No, don't eat fish. That tuna and swordfish is high in heavy metals and mercury, so stay away from it." She's in her third month, and she's only had fish once a month, and she is probably afraid to eat more.

| Vegetarians also should take 1,000 micrograms of vitamin B12 every day.
Aim for four or five servings of fruits and at least four servings of vegetables every day—and the more, the better. Fruits and vegetables provide the vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that prevent free radical damage to cells and support the repair mechanisms vital to cellular energy production. To get the most energy and nutrients, whenever possible choose fruits and vegetables that are grown locally, in season, and certified organic. Choose a variety of colors, too. |

| Studies of orangutans have revealed they occasionally eat insects or bird's eggs, but do so initially in their youth out of curiosity and, as adults, due to hunger or specific nutrient needs (i.e. vitamin B12).
Amongst omnivorous eating patterns of some primates we find the folivorous gorilla. No one who looks into a gorilla's eyes - intelligent, gentle, vulnerable -can remain unchanged. Gorillas are a shining example of the raw-plant diet amongst a primate in Nature.

 I'm surprised the FDA hasn't announced that vitamin D is a controlled drug, and that people are not allowed to use it without FDA approval and a prescription from their doctor. I'm surprised the FDA hasn't arrested me yet, because I am a person who, on a regular basis, doses himself with the most powerful medicine in the world: Sunlight.
Am I playing doctor with my own body? You bet I am. I'm practicing medicine on myself, with the help of nature, and the entire medical-industrial complex is powerless to stop it. Long live health freedom! |

 So does vitamin B17. If you eat apricot kernels, you get the same thing. Apricot kernels contain a medicine (laetrile) that selectively poisons cancer cells. However, that's something you should talk to your naturopath about, because it does contain a form of organic cyanide that someone could overdose on it if they ate an entire bag of apricot kernels. I eat apricot kernels every once in while just to have a little variation in my diet, and you can bet I don't have any cancer tumors.
There are many foods that target cancer cells and don't affect healthy cells. |
