Francois de La Rochefoucauld said: "We should manage our fortunes as we do our health - enjoy it when good, be patient when it is bad, and never apply violent remedies except in an extreme necessity." 4. You breathe in about 7 quarts of air every minute! Good thing it's free! 5. Hairs in the nose help to clean the air we breathe as well as warming it. 6. Sodium Lauryl Sulfate a common ingredient in cosmetics and shampoos can form a carcinogenic nitrate and dioxin, all of which enter the circulatory system and can be retained in the organs for several years. 7. Every month you grow a brand new outer layer of skin..."a new you"? 8. During the Civil War, more soldiers died of disease than they did from gunshots and fighting. 9. The tomato was put "on trial" on September 25, 1820 in Salem, New Jersey. In front of a courthouse, Robert Johnson ate a basket of tomatoes to prove they were not poisonous. The crowd waited for him to keel over dead. He never did. 10. Americans on the average eat 18 acres of pizza every day. LATEST RESEARCH - Methylcobalamin What is the difference between Cyanocobalamin and Methylcobalamin? Methylcobalamin is the active form of vitamin B-12 that is better absorbed than many of the other forms like cyanocobalamin. Actually, Vitamin B12 comes in several kinds including hydroxy-, cyano-, and adenosyl-, but only the methyl form is used in the central nervous system. Here are some of the many uses and benefits of Methylcobalin The methyl form of B-12 especially protects nerve tissue and brain cells, and promotes healthy sleep. Methylcobalamin is important because it is delivered more efficiently to nerve tissues than regular B-12. Because of this, Methylcobalamin should be considered in the treatment of all neurological diseases. Based on its mechanism of action, it can be effective in slowing the progression of hard to treat neurological diseases like ALS, Multiple Sclerosis and Parkinson's Disease. Published studies show that high doses can help regenerate neurons and the myelin sheath that protects axons and peripheral nerves. Theraputic doses of Methylcobalamin have also been known to prevent and reverse numbness from nerve damage. Among the conditions which have responded favorably to Methylcobalamin are, ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease,) Alzheimer's disease, Bell's Palsy, Parkinson's disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Brain Aging, Insomnia, Immune dysfunction, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia, Schizophrenia, Diabetes, Impotence and Herpes Zoster (Shingles.) In one study of Alzheimer's patients given Methylcobalamin, the subjects improved their memory, emotions, and ability to communicate. In Alzheimer's or suspected Mercury amalgam related diseases (e.g. MS,) a hidden Vitamin B-12 deficiency has been found, even though the usual blood tests are normal. In one study of patients with chronic, progressive Multiple Sclerosis, 60 mg of Methylcobalamin resulted in clinical improvement in visual and auditory function, but not motor disability. Methylcobalamin may help prevent Parkinson's disease and slow the progression in those who are already afflicted. Parkinson's is caused by a destruction of brain cells that produce dopamine. Dopamine is produced from the amino acid, L-Dopa. Anyone taking any form of L-Dopa should also take from 5 to 20 mg of Methylcobalamin to enjoy the benefits of L-Dopa for much longer. For best results, it should be taken with Alpha Lipoic Acid. In a sleep study it was shown that Methylcobalamin reduced the amount of time the subjects slept, but the sleep quality was better and subjects awakened refreshed with better alertness and concentration. Methylcobalamin at 6mg per day for 16 weeks also improved sperm count by 37.5 percent. In other studies it was found that Methylcobalamin enhances and modulates lymphocytes (white blood cells) by increasing T-Cell (and especially T-helper cells) activity. In mice, several different kinds of cancerous tumors were suppressed by administration of Methylcobalamin for seven days. These included liver, lung and other tumors. In a study of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) patients, all given high dose (25 mg per day) Methylcobalamin showed increases in muscle strength. Methylcobalamin also slows the progression to AIDS in HIV + patients and helps prevent neurological problems. Methylcobalamin also balances the sympathetic/parasympathetic nervous system (calming when overexcited and stimulating when too calm). A therapeutic dose for conditions requiring Methylcobalamin would be a minimum of 1500 mcg and a maximum of 6000 mcg per day. No significant therapeutic advantage appears to occur from dosages exceeding this maximum dose; however, it is likely that beneficial physiological effects occur at dosages as low as 100 mcg per day, especially if this dose is given repetitively over time. Methylcobalamin is usually administered in divided doses three times daily. For every day prevention take 1 mg daily under the tongue. Dr. Edward F. Group III NUTRITION NEWS: Ultimate DETOX ! Powdered Ozone POWDERED OZONE There is only one true way to clean the digestive tract. This is through an oxidation/reduction reaction. As we age we accumulate toxic substances in our digestive tract. The Pancreas, the organ which produces the necessary enzymes to break down the food we eat has a limited capacity. At birth our pancreas has a limited supply of enzymes. We only have enough enzymes to breakdown 1 cooked meal daily for 120 years. This means 80% of our diet should be raw fruits and vegetables. With the poor diet we have in the United States, people are eating 2-4 cooked meals daily, which the body cannot utilize. Life equals Life, which means the body can only utilize live foods. Anything that is cooked, microwaved, pasteurized, homogenized, boxed, canned or dead is a toxin to the body. Most of us put tremendous strain on our Pancreas and run out of enzymes by the time we are 30-40 years old. It can take the body up to 8 hours to break down protein, and up to 48-72 hours to digest fats and carbohydrates. So now you see that you constantly have undigested food particles in the intestinal tract. If you were to take a hamburger and French fries, put them in a zip lock bag and let them sit in the 95-degree sunlight for 3 days and then open the bag you would find putrefied protein, rancid fats and fermented carbohydrates. This is exactly what happens in our digestive tract when it becomes compacted. The average person by the age of 40 has between 10-20 pounds of hard compacted fecal matter lodged in their intestinal tract. Our intestinal tract is 30-35 feet in length and if you cut it open and spread it out, the surface area is the size of a tennis court. In order to clean the digestive tract you must turn that solid compaction into a liquid. This is what the powdered ozone will do. By using powdered ozone you can melt away or oxidize the compaction from the small intestine, large intestine and colon, safe and effectively. This is important because a clean intestinal tract is the beginning of obtaining optimal health. We recommend starting with a teaspoon of powdered ozone in the morning mixed in about 4 ounces of distilled water when you awaken and a teaspoon before bed. Powdered ozone should be taken on an empty stomach. Do not eat or drink anything for 30 minutes after ingestion. If you have low levels of HCL (stomach acid) we suggest taking 1-500mg capsule of Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) or ½ ounce of lemon juice with each dose. Powdered ozone will cause watery, gaseous stools. This is not diarrhea; this is the by-product of oxidation. Remember we are turning a solid into a liquid. It is advised to drink at least 6-8 glasses of distilled water daily while taking the powdered ozone even though there has never been a documented case of dehydration or electrolyte imbalances. Powdered ozone is also harmless to the good bacteria in the intestinal tract. When the intestinal tract is fully cleansed the urine will become cloudy and the stools will become semi-solid. When this occurs we recommend staying with a maintenance dose of ½ teaspoon daily in the morning. This will provide oxygen directly into the bloodstream. Guess what? Everyone on this planet is oxygen deficient. The amount of available oxygen in the air is declining at a rapid rate. There are only four sources of oxygen today; the plankton of the ocean which supplies 70% of the Earths oxygen is being destroyed by oil spills and the dumping of toxic chemicals in our oceans. Second, the trees and vegetation are being destroyed and cut down to make room for our growing population. Third, fruits and vegetables are being genetically engineered and full of pesticides and insecticides. And the last source of oxygen is through lightening which produces ozone, but our sky is filled with fossil fuels, hydrocarbons, fluorocarbons, and millions of other toxic chemicals. This leaves us all oxygen deficient. By taking powdered ozone on a daily basis, you keep your intestinal tract clean, and provide your body with much needed oxygen. What about Colonic Irrigation? Colonics are a form of irrigation using tubes, which force water into the colon to clean and rinse the internal lining. Let me explain why colonics are a temporary fix. First they rinse the colon destroying the good bacteria, Second they increase the risk of infection by introducing bacteria into the large intestine; the body is not made for liquid to be forced into the rectum. Third, colonics will not oxidize, or melt away the hard compaction in the small and large intestine. Fourth, your nutrients are absorbed in your small intestine so this is the area of concern because if your nutrients are not being absorbed, transported, and utilized at the cellular level this could create more problems.

Group III SUPPLEMENT SPOTLIGHT: Apple Cider Vinegar-Natures Remedy Apple Cider Vinegar- Information in this article was obtained out of "Folk Medicine" books by Dr. D.C. Jarvis. Dr. Jarvis beleived that apple cider vinegar could be used for many ailments and as a good source of nutrition. Here are some of the interesting things he talks about in the book "Vermont Folk Medicine" which is out of print but I got one from Amazon.com. To replenish minerals take 2 teaspoons of honey and 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar with glass of water with each meal (3 times a day) There is no substitute for the perfect start (during pregnancy pre-natal nutrition). Take 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar in the morning and that will prevent morning sickness. During the day drink a glass of cranberry, apple or grape juice. For fertility: Give female and male apple cider vinegar. No wheat foods, but corn or oat cereals and corn or rye bread. Honey instead of white sugar. Apples, grapes, cranberries. No citrus fruit (oranges or grapefruit). Glass of water mixed with honey and vinegar and sip at each meal (increases potassium levels). people of Nordic descent should eat ten times more fish and seafood due to their genetics. They should take kelp supplements. Avoid beef, pork and lamb. High gear people should avoid citrus fruit (makes alkaline urine), avoid wheat, less meat, more fish, eat cornbread, corn and popcorn. Take 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar in water before breakfast. No cold drinks are recommended but rather warm drinks. Footbath up to over ankles for 20 minutes at bedtime. *Potassium is to soft tissue what calcium is to the hard tissue of the body. Potassium slows up the hardening process that menaces the whole blood vessel system. If there is enough potassium in each body cell it will draw moisture from the bacteria instead of bacteria taking moisture from the body cell. It is by taking care to eat foods which are a source of potassium, such as fruit, berries, edible leaves, edible roots, and honey and by the use of apple cider vinegar that the body cells are provided with the moisture attracting potassium needed to win the contest with bacteria. Potassium alone is not as effective in producing results as potassium with associated minerals, some of which must activate the potassium apple cider vinegar associates phosphorus, chlorine, sodium, magnesium, calcium, selenium, irons, fluorides, silicon and many trace minerals with potassium. ("An apple a day keeps the doctor away" is a familiar adage. Apple cider vinegar carries all the above-named minerals over from the original apple.) *If there is inflammation in the kidney called pyelitis, in which pus cells are present in the urine, generally the condition can be cleared up taking a mixture of 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water. A person who suffers from chronic fatigue syndrome should avoid eating wheat, should eat more fish and ocean food because one of the reasons for the fatigue is a need for more iodine and other minerals abundantly present in fish and other ocean food. Baked beans can be taken as many as three times a week and sip water with apple vinegar. *Folk medicine finds another application of apple cider vinegar efficacious in treating migraine headaches. It is a vaporizing method. Put equal parts of the vinegar and water in a small basin on the store allowing it to boil slowly. When fumes begin to rise from the basin, lean the head over it until the fumes are comfortably strong. Inhale them for 75 breaths. Generally you will find that the Headache stops for about half an hour. If it starts again it will be about 50% less severe. *For sore throat, gargle apple cider vinegar. Mixture is 1 teaspoon of the vinegar to a glass of water. One mouthful of the solution is gargled every hour and swallowed after gargling. HERBAL INSIGHT: Preparation Pest: Naturally eliminate the chemical toxins that go IN your SKIN! Summer is here and so are the mosquitoes. Normally, extended periods of freezing temperatures will kill off a large portion of mosquitoes and other pests; however, the weather was mild throughout this winter, which left us with an even bigger pest problem in 2000. Millions of Americans will spend their summer enjoying outdoor activities and sports only to have bugs try to spoil the fun. An easy solution to the problem would be to stop at your local drug store and buy some toxic chemicals in an aerosol can to spray all over your bodies largest organ, the skin, only to get hot, open up your pores and absorb all those chemicals directly into your bloodstream. This is a major health issue, especially if you are spraying it all over your kids. Here is a natural solution to the problem: 5 Tablespoons of organic carrier oil ( I use apricot oil ) mixed with pure organic, unadulterated, unrefined oils of : ½ cc Red Thyme ½ cc Lemongrass 1 cc Lavender ½ cc Peppermint 1 cc Citronella ¼ cc Clove Bud Oil Rub this oil over the exposed areas of the skin and you can also pour a small amount in your bath water for a wonderfully relaxing bath. If you apply the oil to the skin regularly it will increase the effectiveness. Apply to the skin about 10 minutes before going outside, and apply more as needed. This blend is totally safe and non-toxic. Jon Group, R.D.
