 Out of every 100 women who might get breast cancer, 50 of them can avoid breast cancer by simply getting adequate levels of vitamin D in their body, and that’s available free of charge through sensible exposure to natural sunlight, which produces vitamin D. This vitamin, all by itself, reduces relative cancer risk by 50 percent, which is better than any prescription drug that has ever been invented by any drug company in the world.
Combine that with green tea, and your prevention of breast cancer gets even stronger. |

 If they can regulate natural medicine out of existence, even just one herb or vitamin at a time, they can eventually win their war without firing a single shot and attracting too much public attention. (Hence the actions against ephedra, kava kava, etc.).
To my knowledge, the FDA has not raided any vitamin shops in recent years, but they've sure cranked up the threatening legal tactics. The legal assault on Lane Labs is a perfect example of the new tactics the FDA seems to now prefer: Put companies out of business legally and financially rather than at gunpoint. |

 In truth, researchers weren't even using vitamin E, they were using a synthetic chemical with a molecular structure that isn't the same as vitamin E from plants.)
Residents of the United States like to think they live in a nation based on solid science. Although there is plenty of rigorous science taking place within the United States, much of the most important science produced today is based entirely on creating the illusion that something sold by a corporation is good, or that new regulations that require businesses to conduct themselves with environmental responsibility are not necessary. |

 Vitamin D, whether from food or inexpensive supplements, also plays a part. Getting the right amounts of sunlight every day so that the liver can make the needed amounts of this essential vitamin may turn out to be vital to boosting the body's ability to fend off pollution. Finding ways to reduce attacks on our bodies from tiny amounts of combined pollutants in the air and water from our homes and workplaces is obviously important. |

 Covering what was essential for the diet and what needed to be added to the diet, the term "vitamin supplement" was coined. As public demand for these products increased, manufacturers expanded the product base, which ultimately led to the term currently used, "dietary supplements." There is a significant progression of how dietary supplements have been regulated, monitored and controlled.
A revolution in the supplement industry occurred in 1940 when the "once-a-day vitamin supplement" was introduced.2 The simplicity and marketing of this product was genius. |
| When the first vitamin, Thiamin, was isolated in 1913, few imagined that this simple discovery would forge the path for a multibillion dollar industry. Today, vitamins are defined as a group of natural substances found in plants and animal tissue essential in small amounts for metabolic processes. The key word here is essential, which means the human body must have it. Conversely, the definition of a supplement is something added to complete a thing or to make up for a deficiency. |

 Simply selling dried broccoli sprouts as being "good anti-cancer foods" may land you in prison, and running a vitamin shop could result in you being arrested for "practicing medicine."
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. |

 Some dietary antioxidants, such as vitamin E, vitamin C, and carotenoids like P-carotene, have been known for a long time to be important diet components with several functions, but their role as antioxidants has only been appreciated more recently. Other dietary antioxidants, such as the flavonoids and related phenolic compounds, have only recently been recognized for their important role.32 In fact, the evidence suggests that the flavonoids are more important antioxidants than vitamins C or E, or p-carotene. |

 Eat foods high in natural vitamin C, a nutrient that deters the conversion of nitrite into nitrosamine and promotes healthy immune function. 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. |

 You may also wish to consider taking beta carotene, which is a precursor to vitamin A and has none of the overdose concerns of vitamin A.
Avoid toxic skin care products
Proper nutrition is vital for the maintenance of youthful, smooth, healthy skin. Though lotions, washes, and creams can sometimes help treat certain skin ailments, most skin problems stem from an internal nutritional deficiency easily remedied by altering the diet to include specific nutrients. Before you spend a fortune on expensive skin care products, try addressing the problem from the inside out. |

 Vitamin D}. Those over 50 should take 1,000 IU (International Units of vitamin D3) a day.
5. Omega-3 fatty acids. You can fulfill your daily requirement by consuming one tablespoon of flaxseed meal each day—perhaps sprinkling it over cereal. Be sure to refrigerate ground flaxseed.
6. Cholesterol-lowering drugs. These must be taken under a physician's supervision. My own preference is one of the statin cholesterol-lowering drugs, which should be started when you begin the nutrition program. |

 By the way, most people with gum disease are also chronically deficient in vitamin D, so if you boost your vitamin D intake while treating your gums with aloe vera gel, your results will be greatly accelerated!)
Aloe vera heals burns, cuts and scrapes
When used externally, aloe is the best wound dressing ever discovered, far exceeding the capability of even the most advanced emergency room wound dressings. It works by simultaneously sealing the wound while attracting an increased flow of blood to the wound, acclerating wound healing. |

 And Amazon John has seen my vitamin shelf in person, and he will confirm it is, indeed, an entire cabinet of nutritional supplements. What I did, actually, is I bought seven large CD storage towers, then modified them to hold vitamin bottles and herbal tincture bottles. 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. |

 However, the individual antioxidants of these foods studied in clinical trials, including ^-carotene, vitamin C, and vitamin E, do not appear to have consistent preventive effects comparable to the observed health benefits of diets rich in fruits and vegetables (Omennetal, 1996).
It has been reported that fresh apples have potent antioxidant activity; and whole apple extracts inhibit the growth of colon and liver cancer cells in vitro in a dose-dependent manner (Eberhardt et al, 2000), suggesting that natural phytochemicals in fresh fruits could be more effective than a dietary supplement. |

 Some 44% of all cardiologists routinely used antioxidants, principally vitamin E, fot primary prevention.4
Alas, it was too good to be true.
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. |
| At the same time, studies of vitamin A failed to show any efficacy in cancer reduction; indeed, unexpectedly, various studies seemed to show that supplements caused some increase in cancer.
There were two possible problems with the HOPE study. First, it was claimed that the time span of the study, 5 years, was too short. By 2005, the HOPE-TOO (On-Going Outcomes), had followed patients for an additional five years, a total of ten years. Their conclusion: vitamin E did not prevent cancer; nor did it prevent heart disease. |

 Mike: I'd like you to talk about this interesting lens here a minute, but first your comment about sunlight -- yes, people are recognizing now that some sunlight is very beneficial for the formation of vitamin D.
Pederson: Yes, absolutely.
Mike: But, just to be clear, this device doesn't emit ultraviolet light, correct?
Pederson: Correct. 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. |

| For example, evidence is accumulating that higher levels of vitamin C, mixed vitamin E, and Beta-carotene can prevent disease. A University of South Florida researcher found that preventative diets of blueberries, spinach, and algae (specifically Spirulina) improved recovery after a stroke.5
Why aren't there more studies on how nutrition affects the body? Why hasn't the medical profession insisted on knowing more about the human body through basic research? Why are people so trusting that their chronic disease is going to be "cured" by the drugs of the pharmaceuticals? |

 Such raids include the "B vitamin" raid on the clinic of Dr. Jonathan Wright, the "CoQ10" raid on Highland Laboratories, the El Cajon pet food store raid (the owner committed the "crime" of saying that vitamins were good for pets) and multiple, armed "terror-style" raids against the Life Extension Foundation, among many others. 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. |

| Recent research shows that vitamin D supplements (or sunlight exposure, which produces vitamin D), slash cancer risk by an astonishing 77% in women (and that includes ALL cancers).
There will never be a chemical cure for cancer, because cancer is not a disease based on germs, an infection, parasite or virus. There is no chemical that can cure cancer, but there are many natural remedies and prevention strategies that very effectively eliminate cancer. Scientists aren't looking for those, however. They're steeped in the world of synthetic chemical medicine.

 Get your vitamin C from nutritional supplements or superfoods made from plants. Good sources are rose hips and Pure Camu -- a product from the Amazon Herb Company that's made from camu camu berries (the highest natural source of vitamin C in the world). (See http://amazondreams.amazonherb.net/Pure_Camu_Solo.aspx )
The Amazon Herb Company also makes a high-grade Camu C Serum product that's excellent for wound care. It's positioned as a high-end skin care product, but many people use it directly on wounds to speed healing. See: http://amazondreams.amazonherb.net/Lluvia_CamuSerum. |

Mike: What about the yucca extract?
Newman: Yucca is a wonderful herb. It helps the digestive tract and keeps the animal's joints free of inflammation. It helps the circulation in the body. Yucca is also a stool deodorizer. That originally was what it was used for in the pet industry, to help control the odor of stool.
Mike: What about potassium iodide?
Newman: It is a source of sodium. We do have inter-vitamin mineral mix, because it is very expensive to put just the propionates in there. |

 For example, vitamin C works the same today as it did 100 years ago. So if a patient needs vitamin C, it doesn't matter whether there's a drug company around or not -- I just give them vitamin C. And the same thing with all the nutrients. There are about 150 nutrients now known to have physiological effects on the human body, and that doesn't change. We may better understand how those nutrients work, but they don't change.
Mike: Oh, okay. |
