best supplements

This question has been has been tormenting parents all over the world. Yet
there are no easy answers to it. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP)says that "a diet based on the Food Guide Pyramid provides adequate amounts of all the vitamins a child needs." But then
there are a lot of other factors that decide whether your child is getting adequate amounts of vitamins
such as the child's eating habits
composition and quality of the diets
etc.

One important thing to note here is that the quality of most foods available now has declined. The only good ones available now are organically grown food. Just look at these figures: the amount of calcium in broccoli has fallen by a whopping 50 per cent
the iron content in watercress is down by a steep 88 per cent
the vitamin C in cauliflower has fallen by a huge 40 per cent... You may not be giving your child the usual fare of refined food spiked with sugar and fat and carbohydrates. Yet
there is no guarantee that he or she is getting her required daily dose of children's vitamins.

Still experts disagree much on this subject of children's vitamins. The AAP advises giving your child a vitamin supplement only if your pediatrician recommends it. That is because most of the daily foods are fortified. However
the AAP acknowledges that a daily dose of children's vitamins won't hurt your child unless it exceeds the recommended daily allowance for any vitamin or mineral. Also
such a daily dose of children's vitamins help fill in any gaps in a child's nutrition
and also helps children who are sensitive to certain foods. What is to be borne in mind here is that children's vitamins cannot replace good food. They can only supplement your child's food. If your child is not eating well
you should not only give him children's vitamin supplements but also take steps to improve his eating habits and his diet.

Oh yes
there is one more reason why you should be giving your children a proper diet. Recent research says diet and behavior are interlinked. The Appleton Central Alternative High School replaced vending machines with water coolers and started offering fresh vegetables
fruits
whole-grain bread and a salad bar in place of the hamburgers and french fries. The result: No longer does a police officer patrol the school's hallways
there is no vandalism
there is no litter.

Go for food-based children's vitamins

Now comes the important question. What kind of children's vitamin should you give your child? You should start with a food-based vitamin. No questions about that. Synthetic vitamins are out. Scientists and doctors now prefer to use natural vitamins. This is where glyconutritionals come in. They are foods and nutritional supplements that provide saccharides along with other glycoforms essential to the body. Glyconutritional blends are made from fruits and vegetables and contain the essential vitamins
minerals
and other vital nutrients
and provide support for the body's immune system.

The saccharides in glyconutritionals are necessary for proper 'cell-to-cell' communication and helps keep the body's glands and organs functioning well. They also help the immune system and the endocrine system in top order
and the body in optimal health.

Worried about how you will make your child swallow all those pills? Well
children's vitamins and nutritional supplements now come as delicious
multicolored
flavored
chewable tablets. Your children will eat them up just as they eat up the junk foods and candies!

You know
it's not everyday a fellow like me gets to announce a major paradigm shift
much less concerning diabetes …or any other medical condition.

You don't know what a paradigm shift is? Well
if I mentioned events and names like: Gutenberg
Copernicus
Isaac Newton
Albert Einstein
Louis Pasteur
and Werner von Braun …you would probably guess a paradigm shift is major shift in thinking…and you would be right.

Back in the 1960's
Thomas Kuhn wrote a famous book
The Structure of Scientific Revolutions. In it
he destroyed the common misconception so many of us have about science.

We tend to think scientific progress is ushered in by a slow
line upon line
piece by piece development of thought over time.

Thomas Kuhn showed that
historically
scientific progress occurs in leaps …and is always confronted by a struggle with an "old guard." The old scientific theorists hold tenaciously to their (usually tenured or profitable) positions and array themselves against the new discovery
attempting to drive it away.

But
the new guard - the new discoverers
inventors
explorers- takes the new discoveries and advances it over the thinking of the old establishment. Rarely is the old guard converted to the new patterns of thinking (new discovery). They just die off. The new position wins by attrition …truth…and perseverance.

Diabetes: The $132 billion dollar pandemic

Diabetes is on the front edge of such a paradigm shift.

Diabetes now afflicts over 18 million Americans. That is double the number of people with diabetes just since 1991 alone.

According to the CDC
one in every three Americans will develop diabetes in their lifetime. Let that sink in…one in every three Americans will develop diabetes in their lifetime.

It is estimated over 40 million Americans can be classified as "pre-diabetes" meaning they have blood sugar levels higher than normal but still below the type 2 diagnosis level which helps to define diabetes.

By anyone's standard that is pandemic (goes far beyond epidemic proportions). The cost for this carnage is over $132 BILLION DOLLARS. So much expense
grief and sorrow…and unnecessary.

Diabetes: A reflection of our culture.

We are a fast food
sedentary
get-our-fix-now
generation. More than one in every two Americans are overweight. We don't exercise as we should. All of which affects glucose levels. Diabetes is a lifestyle disease…and we've got the lifestyle.

Diabetes: The important announcement

That said
diabetes is a condition which CAN be turned around. Glyconutrition is the new discovery shaking the medical and scientific worlds. There are four Nobel Prizes and MIT testifying to the fact that glycobiology is one of the 10 technologies/discoveries which will shape our world.

Glyconutrition is more than just a promising new treatment for diabetes. Many are starting to whisper "VICTORY" over diabetes in their approach to disease.

Whether that is the case
time will tell.

Oh no… The problem is not a failure of glyconutrition. It is the building block VITAL to healthy cellular function and it is extremely vital to the proper functioning of the IMMUNE system. Those are known facts.

Diabetes is an auto-immune disease meaning
your body's immune system gets misguided messages. Thus
it starts attacking the islet cells in the pancreas which produces insulin. Voila...diabetes!

But
the problem is NOT whether glyconutrition really works. Anecdotal evidence (market buzz!) is already overwhelming in favor of glyconutritional therapy for diabetes. As is the professional research.

No…the actual science is NOT the problem. The problem is the old guard again. Thomas Kuhn's book is almost prophetic. The old guard
the medical and pharmaceutical establishment
just can't accept the findings of (their own) research… "What! A nutrient… to treat diabetes?" "Hogwash
one can almost hear them say.

Actually, I wish they were saying that out loud. The reality is, they just ignore the issue. You see, too much is at stake. Like billions of dollars…uh…a $132 billion dollars. All of that money (read,
business") disappears if glyconutrition continues to "pan out" the way the research shows us. But
for now
the only thing "panning out" is a diabetes pandemic.

Yet
glyconutrition gets shunned as an official diabetes treatment approach.

A study published in the 1997 issue of the Proceedings of the Fisher Institute for Medical Research showed that people with type 1 diabetes who were given glyconutrients "…reported a dramatic improvement in their health
including a decrease in vision problems
better wound healing
less infections
and lower blood pressure." (Miracle Sugars
by Rita Elkins
M.H.
Woodland Publishing
p. 26)

"Glycobiology has achieved critical breakthroughs in the medical field
primarily by addressing what could be the greatest plague in health care today -- auto-immune diseases. Multiple sclerosis
arthritis
diabetes
Crohn's disease and colitis are just a few of these diseases." - Dr. Neecie Moore
Ph.D. (cf. Rita Elkins
M.H.
Miracle Sugars
Woodland Publishing
p. 18.)

Also
mannose (one glyconutrient) can stimulate the pancreas to produce more insulin "…thus lowering the amount of insulin needed to control this disease." (Miracle Sugars
p. 27).

Reality Check: The lives of 1 out of every 3 Americans are affected directly by diabetes and there is a $132 billion dollar diabetes pandemic running amuck in our midst. So
I sure hope this paradigm shift - glyconutrition - gets less opposition from the "powers that be" (the "old guard")
and is given its rightful place in the sun…soon.

But
with the money being made by the pharmaceuticals and their drugs
and the astoundingly simplistic view of disease treatment ("Blast that disease with technology and drugs!") it is doubtful if Thomas Kuhn's "paradigm shift" will work out any differently for diabetes across the land.

The old guard will attack and ignore the discovery - arguably
the greatest in medical history in over a hundred years - and
a la Kuhn
they will simply go the way of the Dodo Bird and diabetes treatment will receive its due.

First
we must settle one of two issues before you continue reading this article. The first issue is straight forward
a "direct-punch-to-the-nose" kind of a question:


Do you believe cancer is "beatable?"
I don't mean
Sometime in the future...

I think everyone believes "some day"
somewhere
someone
will discover the cure.


Nor do I mean anything like
Is cancer treatable where people temporarily overcome the disease through the burning of radiation, the surgeon's knife or the necessarily toxic effects of chemotherapy?

That we all know is possible....


No
my question is far more specific:
In your opinion
is Cancer... Curable...Stoppable ...Conquerable... Whatever synonym you supply
the question remains...Is it or isn't it defeatable?
Yes or no. Can we whip this thing?


...Because if
in your heart of hearts
you believe Cancer is NOT 'defeatable'... there's no sense in continuing this letter.
However
if you're like me
you believe it's certainly defeatable. Now the only question that remains:


Is Cancer NOW facing REAL defeat?

Since we all have a healthy fear of being "sold" the next bottle of snake oil
we need to establish that the claims being made are credible and reliable. Incidentally
I am NOT selling you anything in this letter. I believe you should consider a product or two...but not here.


So
let's deal with cancer:

" According to the American Cancer Society
cancer is a group of diseases characterized by uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells. If the spread is not controlled, it can result in death.

" Cancers tend to metastasize (spread) over time
causing destruction of healthy tissue and damage to bodily functions...
" If left unchecked
cancers can cause death. However
even the treatments for cancer can be destructive to healthy tissues and can do severe damage to bodily functions (side effects)...
" Over the past 100 years
cancers have grown into epidemic proportions without any scientific explanation for the sudden surge in their appearance. Remember
cancer was once comparatively RARE.
" BUT
scientists have now concluded cancer is fundamentally a breakdown of the immune system. As the immune system goes
so goes the cancer. That fact is the new approach ...and it has a whole world of scientific evidence behind it.


Consider carefully:


Changing Cancer Cells' Surface Sugars Can Inhibit Tumor Growth

"According to the research of scientists
as published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
altering the sugar coats of cancer cells can control cancer."
( published in the Scientific American
Jan. 22
2002



In other words
sugar
is a BIG issue in the medical
alternative
and complementary health world. The words "Glycomics" and "Glyconutrition" have sprung up in the vocabulary of health authorities around the world. (Glyco is the Greek word for "sugar."). These sciences refer to the study of biological sugars. What makes these "sugars" so important is among the over 200 known sugars around the world
there are 8 sugars which medical research has isolated as VITAL to human immune system functioning.


The 1999 Nobel Prize for Medicine was awarded to Dr. Gunter Blobel for his work in the science of Glycobiology. Out of the last eight Nobel Prizes awarded in medicine
four Nobel Prizes have been awarded for discoveries made in ONE field…Glycobiology. This is the field that affects CANCER directly. Why? Because
8
sugars have been isolated that strengthen the immune system and cell communication. Human life cannot be supported without them.


The field is glyconutrition. Glyconutrients are NOT vitamins
amino acids or minerals. Scientifically
glyconutrients are a class all by themselves. The field is revolutionizing the medical world. For the first time in a long time
many authorities in both the conventional medical world and those of the alternative world are in agreement. Powerful glyconutrients have already been included in the Physicians Desk Reference (post 2002)
the "Bible" of physicians everywhere throughout the country.


Why? Consider…
Four Ways Glyconutrients Fight Cancers*
1. Macrophage and Immune killer cells are stimulated by glyconutritional supplementation to destroy malignancies.
2. Glyconutrional research shows that glyconutrients increase the production of substances in the body that target cancer cells for destruction
such as interferon.
3. Glyconutrients activate T-cells to recognize and destroy invasive and abnormal cells.
4. Glyconutrients help regulate the process of apoptosis- the natural "dying off" process in cellular systems.


If these processes are restrained - due to a variety of factors such as chemotherapy
radiation therapy
poor glyconutritional dietary habits
etc.
the body will fail to prevent the onset of cancer.

Note How the Scientific World is Successfully Combating Cancer with the New Discoveries in Glycoscience


The revolutionary "glyconutrition" discoveries found over the past decade have stunned the scientific world. If that sounds "more hype than hope" you might want to take just a few moments to consider just a few developments:
In 1985
an issue of Cancer Research reported the formation of cancer cells in the colon and in the stomach was directly and UNMISTAKENLY related to the absence of glyconutrition or the presence of deformed sugar molecules. Since then
scientists at the University of South Florida believe confirmation of the glyconutritional linkage to cancer inhibition and its spread is profound. For example
according to the 1997 issue of Anticancer Research science periodical
glyconutrition decreases the number of liver tumors.


In addition

"Dr. Ronald Klatz reported in the now incredibly famous medical research study nicknamed "Norman's Rats"
40
of the animals that had no defense whatsoever against cancer and were injected with just ONE of the eight essential glyconutritionals
showed "tumor regression and complete recovery."


- Advances in Anti-Aging Medicine
Vol. 1
1996
by Dr. Ronald Klatz.
Obviously
YOU and I must find out about Glyconutrition…for the sake of our health and for those we love.

It is for that reason
and that reason alone
I have written this open letter…

Avian Flu: The bad news first

Well
it's flu season again. Only this time
we hear everyone talking about avian flu…the Super flu which is expected to wreck havoc across our land in the not so distant months.

So what is avian flu? Avian flu is bird flu. Yes
you read that right
Avian flu is bird flu.
And why might that be such bad news?

If you pursue the news much
you will read that the deadliest disease in history is widely regarded as the Spanish Flu epidemic which killed 40 million people in just months. Scientists now believe the epidemic was an avian flu pandemic. In other words
the virus came from birds - it is believed - and a virus similar to this one -called the "H5N1" (a form of avian flu virus). Its origins? Most scientists agree it originated in Asia
as this one.

Flu comes every season. It comes in one of two forms
Type A or Type B influenza. Type A is the more potent of these kinds of flu
and avian flu is Type A. These strains kill.

The current avian flu bug is infecting and spreading throughout the poultry industry in Asia. Why so often in Asia? Simply put…and here is a key to understanding how to deal with avian flu - poultry farms are absolutely filthy. The stench from such farms
especially those throughout Asia
can be detected a mile away. Those farms are packed with animals which are weak with compromised
weakened
immune systems.

Let these two phrases sink in together: avian flu and weakened immune systems. Whether we are dealing with the aftermath of the horrible conditions and weakened immune systems of millions who survived World War I or the horrible conditions of Asian and European poultry farms and their millions of animals with weakened immune systems
the key to this potential pandemic is "weakened immune systems and avian flu".

Because of the rapid spread and highly dangerous nature of the avian flu to birds
millions of flocks have been destroyed throughout the afflicted countries. However
that is simply not working because migratory birds are carrying the avian flu to distant lands
thus spreading its contagion. Interestingly
the migratory birds are not dying like the chickens. Why? Because their immune systems are much stronger
we are told by scientists.

Let that one sink in too: avian flu is not killing those animals so readily which have strong immune systems. Hum…avian flu and immune systems…Could be we have something here.

Incidentally
there have been only about a hundred deaths from avian flu worldwide. It is almost impossible for avian flu to make the transition from bird to human easily.

Avian Flu: Now for the really bad news

Of course
as soon as there is the slightest danger -avian flu or otherwise -our government jumps into high gear to infect every one of us
if possible
with its antiviral drug program against the slightest hint of avian flu. To date
everyone of the influenza drugs have proven worthless…or worse
against avian flu or any other kind of flu.

Note this statement from the former Chief Vaccine Control at the Federal Food and Drug Administration:

There is no evidence that any influenza vaccine thus far
developed is effective in preventing or mitigating any attack
of influenza. The producers of these vaccines know that they
are worthless
but they go on selling them anyway.
--Dr. J. Anthony Morris

I wonder if this will apply to the alleged avian flu "antidote". Note: The last few decades have seen a dramatic shift in fatalities from seasonal flu (some of which are avian flu).

Researchers now know the increase in the population does NOT account for the doubling of the seasonal average death toll from flu (avian flu or otherwise). Less than 20
0
were dying per year for decades. But
since the advent of the flu shot
averages of over 40
0
people per year have been dying.

Why?

One suggestion is a combination of two factors: the continued impairment of the immune system of the average American as witnessed by the multitude of epidemic diseases among us (not present in appreciable amounts in previous decades). The second factor follows below… (like the second Horseman of the Apocalypse).

Let's see…one thing we do know about flu vaccines. They are not proven to work… No
two things we know…Yes
yes. They can kill. Just as surely as the avian flu can kill.

Many authorities believe the flu shot actually weakens the immune system…ah
there it is again…the immune system weakened.

Why is that? Let's see. The ingredients in the flu vaccine (remember this when dealing with the avian flu) include:

" Formaldehyde
you know…embalming fluid known to cause cancer.

" Aluminum
the very metal related to Alzheimer's disease
cancers of numerous types and traumatic seizures.

" Carbolic Acid: a terribly caustic poison.

" Ethylene Glycol: You will definitely need this fluid this winter
but please only use it as anti-freeze for your car
as it was designed to be used originally.

" Mercury: This is present in the vaccine ingredient called thimerosol. This is a known medical crippler and killer. It kills brain cells and immune cells and is linked to childhood brain and nervous diseases because of its use in VACCINES.

" Vaccines for use in avian flu are grown on virus strains developed from pus-laden animal tissue mixed with the above mentioned deadly chemicals.
(Bulleted items: Special Report
Bird Flu, H5N1
Dr. Richard Schulze
November 2005
p. 12. Great "avian flu" resource.)

Is it any wonder the drug companies involved sought to be legally protected from law suits by those who might use these drugs against avian flu?

Forgive my skepticism
but I have seen from the inside of the medical/drug establishment
the fanatical zeal to make money as a first priority… Been there
opposed that. Avian flu treatment will not be any different.

Don't count on the Hippocratic Oath to protect you from avian flu. There is big money in these drugs. Billions. And it is always suspicious when a drug company seeks lawsuit immunity (hum
appropriate wording here) BEFORE THE FACT (before its use against avian flu!)

Avian Flu: Now for the good news (finally).

Avian flu was not in view when this following statement was made. However
read it carefully with avian flu in mind.

In Congressional testimony concerning the potential of bio-terrorism attack upon the United States
Dr. H. Reginald McDaniel stated


In instances of unusual
epidemic
or virulent infectious agent exposure

glyconutrient supplementation has been found effective for enhancing
general immune functions and defense. When supplied at higher levels
than available in nature
sugars needed for cellular synthesis can take
innate defense systems to a much higher level that are effective against
infectious agents.

In other words
if we were attacked by an enemy with bio weapons -such as avian flu- we could find protection with glyconutrition. This is a powerful
non-prescriptive antidote possibility against avian flu.

Glyconutrition enhances the immune system's natural defenses so powerfully that cancers
flu
and other UNDER ACTIVE IMMUNE DISORDERS can be stopped. The evidence is already in place. There is no guesswork here. Avian flu is flu
Type A
precisely the kind of flu glyconutrition is designed to offset.

Glyconutrition is effective - presumably against avian flu too - and has no side effects. It is a food substance
proven to be vital for human survival. There are no less than four Nobel Prizes to substantiate the presence and human need for glyconutrition.

There is an abundance of evidence showing its effectiveness against all kinds of disease
including flu. It doesn't attack the flu directly. It strengthens the immune defenses - killer T cells and others - and they kill the tumors
flu
herpes simplex
shingles
strep
TB
bacterial infections
cancers
parasitic diseases… Quite a list of killers thus killed.

So…

Guess what I am going to take to protect my family this year against avian flu…if it develops?
