 B12. It's also an excellent source of heme iron and zinc.
6. Olive oil: Olive oil contains primarily monounsaturated fat and is a staple in the diet of individuals living in the Mediterranean region who demonstrate very low rates of chronic disease. When olive oil is the predominant source of lipids, fat intakes greater than 40 percent of total energy are compatible with good health and are associated with no adverse effects.
7. Water: Water is second to oxygen in maintaining life. Even minimal changes in body water can impair performance.

 Every time you choose to exercise instead of sitting on the couch, or choose to get some natural healthy sunlight instead of avoiding it (causing vitamin D deficiency in your body), you cause momentum in one direction or another. If you do this year after year, you can go in the direction of disease or in the direction of health and longevity.
If you have been heading down the path of chronic disease, you can change that momentum. First, you have to slow the momentum and create a vector moving in the direction of health. That will not make you healthy overnight. |

 Procyanidins act syn-ergistically with vitamin C and potentiate the activity of that vitamin in wound healing and in the elimination of excess cholesterol. The polyphenolics of green tea, particularly the relatively potent (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg), have been found to possess antitumor properties. These combined activities, all related directly or indirectly to the antioxidative properties of procyanidins, account for much of their therapeutic utility, including protection against pathologies such as cancer and atherosclerosis, normally associated with the aging process. |

 The white sugar addict becomes liable to obesity, tooth problems, and malnutrition; the last leads in extreme cases to the kind of "crowding out" which can cause vitamin and mineral deficiency problems and probably even cancer of the intestine. Because of the speed with which white sugar becomes available to the metabolism, the addict's blood-sugar level rises and falls very rapidly as the pancreas works excessively hard to deal with high inputs of sucrose to the stomach. |

| Even though you are taking that one vitamin, you are probably still poisoning your body with cancer-causing foods found in the national food supply. It's going to take shifting many habits and daily health choices to reverse decades of disease-promoting activity.
Perhaps because that task seems daunting, the promise of pharmaceuticals is quite seductive. They promise that you can change your health without changing anything else. Unfortunately, many people believe this. |

 This means that more than half our readers are going to be healthier because of their exposure to sunlight, and their vitamin D deficiencies will be helped or even completely eliminated. They will likely give birth to healthier infants if they are currently expecting, and if they have darker skin, they will experience phenomenal health benefits as a result of increasing their exposure to ultraviolet radiation, so that's a very encouraging number.
Similarly, 58.2 percent have increased their consumption of nutritional supplements and more than two-thirds, 67. |

 The single most powerful cancer prevention drug in the world is vitamin D, which you can create for free by exposing your skin to natural sunlight.
High-fructose corn syrup, the sweetener found in soft drinks, really does cause obesity and diabetes.
Drug companies routinely engage in outrageous "disease mongering" to invent and market new diseases (like Road Rage Disorder) so they can sell more drugs to people who don't need them.
Most non-profit disease groups (cancer, diabetes, heart, etc. |

 No one could stop your skin from creating vitamin D. No one can charge you a royalty on sunlight, and even the most adamant white-fisted FDA bureaucrats and drug company execs won't be able to censor the truth about this remedy.
The FDA, you see, has no jurisdiction over sunlight, unless you sell it along with health claims, in which case the FDA would say that your "claims" about sunlight turn it into a drug. |

 New miracle breast cancer drug discovered! vitamin E may kill you! Sunlight is deadly! Don't trust Canadians (or their pharmacists)! Deadly, dangerous Chinese herbs may have possibly killed someone somewhere! Drug companies need billions of dollars in drug profits to find the cure for cancer! Evidence-based medicine is credible! These are the type of headlines constructed by news repeaters.

| Until doctors start prescribing sunlight to patients who are deficient in vitamin D rather than treating the symptoms of diseases caused by those deficiencies, they have zero credibility.
This is the litmus test of the industry: Will organized medicine openly embrace things that work even if it didn't think of them first? Or will it continue to meddle with the biochemistry of patients, using dangerous pharmaceuticals in an effort to override normal human physiology for the purpose of claiming a chemical victory over a symptom that's easily preventable with sunlight in the first place? |

 Camu camu is the highest natural source of vitamin C in the world. And it's not just one isolated chemical (ascorbic acid), it's the full symphony of protective antioxidants. My research on this herb, based in part of the works of Dr. James Duke, leads me to the conclusion that camu camu crosses the blood-brain barrier and offers extraordinary protection to the nervous system. |
| I personally own more nutritional supplements than you see at many vitamin shops... odd, but true. Some people collect lift tickets, I collect nutritional supplements.
Continuing with the product recommendations, I'm a huge fan of Recovazon, a product I consider to be a miracle healing medicine. I've used it to speed recovery after sports injuries and heavy training sessions. I also use it any time I feel I'm fighting a cold or flu. The taste is wicked at first, but this is no candy-flavored junk medicine. This is real medicine provided by nature, right from the Amazon. |

| Sunlight is discredited by people who don't know any better
People who are willing to tell the truth about sunlight and vitamin D are routinely attacked and discredited by critics who happen to have a lot of letters after their names, but who actually know almost nothing about the basics of human health. In their minds, sunlight is just some evil, destructive, cancer-causing radiation demon in the sky. They don't bother to question if that myth is actually true or false. They just accept it as fact because that's what was taught to them. |

Parents: How to protect yourself from conventional medicine's tyranny
It is now clear that that only way for parents to exercise their health freedom and choose the treatments they believe are best suited for their children is to avoid taking your children to conventional medical doctors and seek naturopathic physicians instead.

| Yet somehow, after spending billions of dollars on so-called medical research to find "cures" for various cancers, almost no one from the world of mainstream medicine has yet acknowledged the healing power of natural sunlight and vitamin D.
None of them have actually prescribed sunlight to patients, except for perhaps a handful of pioneering researchers like Dr. Michael Holick, who was attacked for speaking out about the truth of sunlight and cancer. |

| The FDA has also organized and conducted multiple armed, SWAT-style raids against health clinics, vitamin shops and even a pet food store. Once, the FDA raided a church and confiscated literally tons of church literature that helped people with mental health issues. Senior citizens returning from Canada were also detained and searched for legal drugs that they purchased at discounts across the Canadian border. Again and again, the FDA and the quack promoters of conventional medicine resort to the use of firearms (or the threat of using them) to enforce our modern system of monopoly medicine. |

 We have been told things like vitamin E will kill us, thanks to the American medical system and the researchers who are paid to drum up with these results.
Milk will prevent diabetes, and it will lower your taxes; did you know that? It may repair your car, if you pour it into your gas tank, and you will get better gas mileage because cows can run. Milk does the car good -- just pour it on in there. Milk is a great lubricant and a plant fertilizer. See, I can make claims the same way the dairy industry does, and you can come up with some of your own. Milk will do whatever you want it to do. |

| Do you realize how many hundreds of millions of people around the world could have their lives saved or improved through simple vitamin D supplementation or sensible exposure to natural sunlight? We could dramatically improve the quality and duration of life in a huge percentage of the global population. Yet, the only reason that isn't happening is because the defenders of conventional medicine continue to discredit sunlight. |

 Mike: Some of the largest vitamin and supplement companies in the world hire you to formulate their products. Is that how this works?
Barron: Actually, a lot of marketing companies have asked me to develop everything from colon correctors to detox formulas to antioxidants. Another issue you'll come up against is that oftentimes your goal is to create the best and budgetary restrictions will come up. You still try to create something that works, but you have to adapt to the cost. |

| In fact, nutritional deficiencies are so widespread that it's hard to find a person who isn't deficient in at least one vitamin or mineral. That means most people are operating at less than optimum health. It also means that they can improve their health by simply providing their body with outstanding nutrition.
Nutritional deficiencies cause scurvy, beriberi, pellagra, and other diseases
It's important to note that there is a long history of discovering relationships between nutritional deficiencies and chronic disease. |

 Most commercially available fish oils contain miniscule amounts of vitamin E, which addresses the issue of shelf life, but has no protective effect within the body. Purified antioxidant protected fish oils appear to be the only wise choice.
The body must receive a continuous supply of EFAs in proper ratios in order to ensure proper production of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are beneficial hormone-like compounds that affect virtually every system in the body. |

 So the problem isn't with taking a lot of folic acid. The problem is that folic acid can mask the symptoms of B12 deficiency. With folic acid supplementation, you'll get rid of the symptoms of B1 2 anemia, but not the nerve damage that might ensue. (This is especially important for older adults because they're at greater risk for a B12 deficiency.) The government doesn't want you walking around with B12 deficiency and thinking you're fine, so it warns against taking too much folic acid. |
| The problem isn't that there's an absence of research—it's that a great deal of this research flies under the radar screen of those whom we turn to for health advice (more on this later).
But the research exists. I've found it, you can find it, and your doctor can find it. You just have to be open to looking at it. You'll find dozens and dozens of references to published studies throughout the text of this book.
Now let me be fully frank—I wish the research were more definitive. |
| B6 can greatly reduce the recurrence rate of calcium oxalate kidney stones."
In one study, 149 patients with longstanding stones received 100 mg of a cheap form of magnesium (magnesium oxide) three times a day, equal to 180 mg per day of elemental magnesium. They also received 10 mg of B6 once a day at the same time. Would you like to know what happened?
The mean rate of stone formation dropped by 92.3 percent.
Yes, you did read that right. Without a single significant side effect, the average rate of stone formation went from 1.3 stones per patient per year, to Vio of a stone per year. |
| Atkins used to call magnesium "a natural calcium channel blocker." (Calcium channel blockers are a major class of drugs used to treat high blood pressure and abnormal heart rhythms.) It's at the top of the list of the supplements used at the Hypertension Institute in Nashville for high blood pressure.
Necessary but Neglected
Magnesium earned its place here on the proverbial desert island because so many functions that are essential to life depend on its adequate levels. |

 It is even possible that the red blood cell hemoglobin in our capillaries at the surface of the skin absorb sunlight directly, just as the chlorophyll in a plant does, and that these energized hemoglobin biomolecular structures could be directly taking this sunlight energy to the rest of our system.
"Vitamin O"
Another major source of nutrient energy is oxygen. In some modern Yoga teachings, it is said that approximately 90 percent of the energy utilized by the body is from oxygen taken in by the lung and skin systems. |
| We can live without water for a few weeks and go without food for months. "Vitamin O" is our most important nutrient. This form of energy intake is the most commonly used meaning for the word prana. It is the life force that many experience when they walk into a forest and smile as they inhale the vibrant air. In forests and unpolluted bodies of water, the energetic field of the air has been enhanced. The oxygen molecule has been resonantly excited. When we take it into our lungs, its energy is transferred to our bodies. |
| Foods produced by organic farming practices exhibit improved vitamin and mineral nutrition, as well as superior taste, shelf life, phytochemical and antioxidant content, and stronger and more organized SOEFs.
Investigations are showing that wild-crafted foods (foods harvested from wild plants) have the highest nutritional content, with organic foods next, and conventionally grown foods last. The USDA periodically publishes data on the nutritional content of food. Historically, since the 1940s, each publication of this data shows a decline in the average nutritional content of food. |
