Wow! Life Can Be So Challenging When Both Your Mom and Dad Are Suffering Catastrophic Illness!

This is just a quick note to keep you updated as to the challenges we are now facing.

Mom had congestive heart failure so bad we had to take her to the emergency ward on Sunday.
She did so much better after they removed the excess water. She was home that day. Janet and I found out she was not taking her meds every day. That is why she almost died. Now we make sure she takes her medications. Unfortunately, when she takes her medications, she cannot sleep, because she has to go to the bathroom every hour. She is totally exhausted in the morning without a deep sleep. It is a Catch 22...no rest and staying alive. Wow! What a horrible choice between the quality of life and death. Janet and I agonize over the challenges facing us.

Dad is coming home tomorrow.
All of our Sin Jin Jyutsu is paying off. The only problem is we have to reconfigure the entire house. We had to tear out all the carpet. There are hardwood floors. I had to pull up all the staples and clean the hall and room where dad will be staying. We had to move out all the furniture before the carpet was removed.

It was an incredible amount of work removing all the furniture and carpet.
I cannot tell you how much work was involved. If your parents are in this zone...GET PREPARED! MAKE SURE THEY HAVE MEDICARE AND THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF SECONDARY INSURANCE. You will not be sorry.

I had no idea as to how much work it will be to take care of him at home.
Don't let your parents get into this situation if you can help it. It is unbelievable...the amount of stress on everyone. We spent the last two days learning how to take care of dad. It has blown my mind. Am I ready to change diapers, do physical therapy, do all the cooking and cleaning?

Am I man enough to step up to the plate to take care of mom and dad?
Would it be easier to take care of them when they were not experiencing crises at the same time? I don't know because the you know what is hitting the fan all at the same time. If only they had listened and chosen optimal health. Hindsight is 20-20. You have to accept the situation you are in.

Janet and I love my mom and dad, but what a challenge for 24 hour home health care.
Are we up to the challenge? I don't know at this time. We will keep you updated. Janet is working like a madwoman to transcribe my interview with Doctor Garry Gordon, MD, one of the most brilliant people I have ever met.

Interview of Doctor Jonathan Wright, MD of Tahoma Clinic Was A Alternative Health Pioneer

Ralph Zuranski: “Dr. Wright, could you introduce yourself?”
Jonathan Wright, MD: to “Hi, I am Jonathan Wright. I grew up in Ohio and from there went to Harvard University and then the University of Michigan Medical School.”

Ralph Zuranski: “How long have you wanted to be a doctor?”
Jonathan Wright, MD: “My folks tell me that I was telling them I wanted to be a doctor since I was eight years old…at least that is the first they heard of it.”

Ralph Zuranski: “Where did you go to medical school and complete your residency?” 
Jonathan Wright, M.D.: “I made it through college and medical school. I wanted to be family doc so after that I went off into a residency, as it’s called after medical school, into family medicine and that was in Seattle.”

Ralph Zuranski: “How did you get involved in alternative medicine?”
Jonathan Wright, M.D.: “Well, I was about done with that residency and I ran into a couple of folks that had problems. They just were not getting better with all the conventional means. One of those ladies, brought in a book and said “It says right here that vitamin E will get rid of my problem.”

Ralph Zuranski: “It is pretty amazing you were open to listening to suggestions from your patients.”
Jonathan Wright, M.D.: “She tried every single drug she could think of. In fact, one of them was making her ears ring and barely controlling her symptoms. So, I asked her why she was asking me about vitamin E when she could just go down to the health food store and buy the stuff. She said,  “I want to make sure that vitamin E won’t kill me, because it’s a fat soluble vitamin and those government agencies are telling us we are going to kill ourselves with fat soluble vitamins”.

Ralph Zuranski: “What was your perspective on vitamins at that time?”
Jonathan Wright, M.D.: “I told her one thing I knew about vitamin E was that it never killed anybody. That is about all they told us in medical school.”  She said, ‘Thank you!’ Then she went off and got her vitamin E.”

Ralph: “did you ever hear back from the patient that told you about vitamin E?”
Jonathan Wright, M.D.: “Well, she called back about six weeks later and said she was all better and she had the problem for 7, 8 or 9 years. She also flushed all her medication down the toilet.”

Ralph Zuranski: “How did you feel when she told you about her beneficial results?”
Jonathan Wright, M.D.: “I thought that was kind of interesting because remember, the University of Michigan Medical School told us all about drugs, surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. They only gave us one hour on vitamins and minerals.”

Ralph Zuranski: “Did doctors think that was kind of strange to only receive only one hour of training on vitamins and minerals?”
Jonathan Wright, M.D.:  “We did not even think about it. Doctors followed their training without question in those days.”

Ralph Zuranski: “Well, what did you do when the drugs didn’t work on the patients?” 
Jonathan Wright, M.D.: “The next time somebody came in and had a problem that hadn’t been handled by the various drugs and so forth, that we had all been educated in, at least we thought we were,  I didn’t have any answer for it.”

Ralph Zuranski: “How, did you finally become educated bout vitamins and minerals?”
Jonathan Wright, M.D.: “I thought, ‘Gee, why don’t I get a copy of that book that had the vitamin E in it.’ I did and it said Vitamin B6 would do the job, so I passed that along to the person I was working with. ‘Dog gone, if Vitamin B6 did not do the job!”

Ralph Zuranski: “Did you at that time realize there was a problem with your education?”
Jonathan Wright, M.D.: “Oh, I figured there was a problem with my education. I got the book and fortunately, there were all the footnotes at the bottom where they got the information. For those who are interested that was Adelle Davis’ book. Some of you may remember Adelle Davis.”

Ralph Zuranski: “I do remember Adele Davis.  Her book was the first book on nutrition that I read. I think I was about 13 years old when I have the opportunity to find it at the bookstore. Did you look for information in the other places?”
Jonathan Wright M.D.: “I took off and went to the medical library. I found that there was all kinds of information right in the medical library that nobody had ever bothered to teach us about.”

Ralph Zuranski: “When did you really get interested in vitamins and mineral research?”
Jonathan Wright M.D.: “That was about 1972. At that time, I started collecting photo-copied articles from medical journals, scientific journals, chemical journals, agriculture journals and any kind of journals that had to do with human physiology, including information about diet, vitamins, minerals, natural hormones, biochemistry, botanicals and all that. I started collecting those articles, putting them in file cabinets; cross-referencing them and yes, I also read them.”

Ralph Zuranski: “Did that material become the foundation of your exhaustive database on health, vitamins, minerals, hormones, cancer, AIDS, heart disease, strokes, and other topics?
Jonathan Wright, M.D.: “Yes, that started my database. I collected all the scientific literature that focused on what is now called Alternative Medicine and eventually will be called Real Medicine.”

Ralph Zuranski: “Were you one of the first people to start studying natural healing methods?”
Jonathan Wright M.D.: “I think I was the very first one that started into a very extensive collection. It started in 1972. I kept that going through the 70’s and was joined in that effort in 1978 by Dr. Allen Gabbie, MD. The two of us have now put together a collection of photo- copied things from medical journals that runs to 40,000 or 50,000 articles."

Ralph Zuranski: “Did you in Dr. Gabby read all those articles?”
Jonathan Wright, M.D.: “Either Dr. Gabbie or myself have read the information. We put a title on them. They we either published it or filed it away. We have used that information as a large part of the basis of what we do in our medical practices. We can look up diabetes, what does vitamin B3 do, or we can go the other way and look up what vitamin A is good for in this file.”

Ralph Zuranski: “When did you decide to go into practice on your own?”
Jonathan Wright, M.D.: “We collected enough data and by 1973, I thought we could do a whole lot for medical care without using all the drugs and chemotherapy and so forth. Therefore, I left the clinic where I was and started the Tacoma Clinic in 1973 and here it is the year 2004 and its still going.”

Ralph Zuranski: “How many people work at your clinic today?”
Jonathan Wright M.D.: “There is a fairly large number of practitioners, nurses and technicians. Also, there’s a laboratory and a dispensary. All together we have about 80 folks working on site…trying to help folks get better and prevent disease.”

Ralph Zuranski: “How long did Dr. Gabbie work with you?”
Jonathan Wright M.D.: “After I collected all that information, Dr. Allen Gabbie joined me in 1978. He stayed with us until 1981. Then, he  moved back east. By the way, we are in Seattle in a little town called Renton, Washington.”

Ralph Zuranski: “When did you start teaching courses to other doctors and health professionals?”
Jonathan Wright M.D.: “We started teaching a course. I think we called it Clinical Applications of Nutritional Biochemistry in 1983. We taught that course 13 or 14 times between 1983 and the present. The first time we had 65 doctors attend. They thought we knew something. We were happy!”

Ralph Zuranski: “Did you continue to do seminars?”
Jonathan Wright M.D.: “Yes, we put it on again. Then, we continued to collect all the information available from the literature and compiled it into different databases. For diabetes you can do this and you can use Vitamin C this way and so forth.

Jonathan Wright M.D.: “The last time the course was taught was in 1998. We had 460 doctors there all wanting to learn about the nutritional medicine. Without bragging too much, that course, has been the number one course teaching doctors how to do this in the field.”

Ralph Zuranski: “Did you write any books during this time?”
Jonathan Wright M.D.: “Dr. Gabie and I have some books out. In 1976, I got a call from Prevention Magazine and I started writing a monthly health column for them. I continued from 1976 to 1986. From 1986 to 1996, I wrote a health column for Let’s Live magazine.”

Jonathan Wright M.D.: “In addition for working with folks in the office, one of the things I have tried to do was get the information out there, both in the courses Dr. Gabbie gave and in books and magazine articles.  We wanted to make the information available for anybody who wants to read them and prevent disease and for their families and themselves.”

Jonathan Wright M.D.: “I started writing for them in 1976 and I think by the time I got finished with those magazines I had written about 250 articles or so, one a month.”

Ralph Zuranski: “Did any of your books become best sellers?”
About 1979, I wrote a book called Book of Nutritional Therapy and I think, I am not sure, but I think it was the first very big seller in its’ field. By the time it ran its course, it sold nearly 500,000 copies. We followed that up in 1984 with another one called A Guide To Healing With Nutrition and that sold another couple of hundred thousand copies.”

Ralph Zuranski: “Do you think it is important to educate the public?”
Yes, we are just trying to get the information out in addition to working with folks one at a time, one by one in my clinic.”

Ralph Zuranski: “Did you come up with any new programs?”
Jonathan Wright M.D.: “Yes, in the 1970’s, I had read enough of this medical literature that I was able to put together a treatment for kids with asthma. It is an alternative medicine therapy program that is still the mainstay for a kids with asthma.”

Ralph Zuranski: “How effective was your asthma program?”
Jonathan Wright M.D.: “In fact, if a child with wheezing comes into my office or into another office of a doctor who does vitamins and mineral therapy, and we apply this treatment, about half those kids don’t have a wheezing problem anymore in a month. About another 30% or more have a major improvement.”

Ralph Zuranski: “How long ago was that?”
Jonathan Wright M.D.: “That was in the 1970’s. You may not have heard of this, and that is a little bit sad. Many drugs are given to kids with asthma. More and more kids are dying of asthma every year.”

Ralph Zuranski: “What was the basis of the therapy?”
Jonathan Wright M.D.: “This treatment is so simple. It does not cure the allergies, but it takes the wheezing away. That is what people die from.”

Ralph Zuranski: “Do people need to take other precautions?”
Jonathan Wright M.D.: “People still have to pay attention to their allergies and not eat the wrong foods. However, the treatment that takes the wheezing away, and I had to piece it together from this article and that article, had to do with vitamin B12.

Ralph Zuranski: “Did the Vitamin B12 injections make the difference?”
Jonathan Wright M.D.: “Yes, to this day, if we give a little one a Vitamin B12 injection, they experience many benefits. Yes, it is an injection and that’s a little hard on the kids. It does not work too well if we do not inject it. If they swallow the B12, it sometimes works and sometimes does not.”

Ralph Zuranski: “How often do they have to get the injections?”
Jonathan Wright M.D.: “If we give them an injection every day for about a month, then ½ the kids aren’t wheezing anymore. Then we can just taper down.

Ralph Zuranski: “What happens to the other half of the kids?”
Jonathan Wright M.D.: “With the other half, there is still some wheezing, but, another 30% are much, much better. Maybe another 20% are not affected too much.”

Ralph Zuranski: “Why isn’t this treatment used more often?”
Jonathan Wright M.D.: “This treatment would make big in roads with the little ones we have with asthma, if we could just spread the word. Maybe you can tell someone that has a child with asthma.”

Ralph Zuranski: “Have you worked much with hormones?”
Jonathan Wright M.D: “In the early 80’s, I had a woman come into my office. She said she wanted a prescription for some hormones. She was going through menopause. So, I got out the prescription pad and started to write the prescription. I guess luckily she could read upside down because she looked over and said ‘But, I want natural hormones.’ This was 1982. I said, Well at the University of Michigan they told me these are natural. This is Premarin and it comes from horses and horses are natural.” 

Jonathan Wright M.D: “She pointed out something that I should have noticed. She said ‘I’m not a horse! I want hormones for people!!! Those hormones over there are for horses and you know horses are this big and they have four legs and everything.’”

Jonathan Wright M.D: “I said, Well, I hadn’t thought of that, but your right. These are not exactly the same hormones women have in their bodies prior to menopause. She said, ‘I want some of the natural ones.’”

Ralph Zuranski: “Wow, she sounded like she really knew what she wanted.”
Jonathan Wright M.D: “I am probably paraphrasing her. She was probably more polite. I told her they were not available because big drug companies did not want to make them. They were not patentable and therefore not profitable.  We could not get them anywhere. She was an awfully confident lady and she got up and said, ‘I’m sure you can find them and I’ll be back in 2 or 3 months.’”

Ralph Zuranski: “Where did you finally find some.”
Jonathan Wright M.D: “I worked with a compounding pharmacist. We were able to get the formulation together. That is where the first prescription of Triple Estrogen came from. That formula is now available in 2000 compounding pharmacies in the United States. The woman that did not want to be a horse or did not want horse hormones in any form was responsible for this breakthrough.”

Ralph Zuranski: “Does that mean you are trying to provide natural sources for all your hormone supplementation?”
Jonathan Wright M.D: “Since that time I have been prescribing the hormones that are identical to natural. We are calling them Bio-identical Hormones.”

Ralph Zuranski: “Are you responsible for creating natural hormone supplements?”
Jonathan Wright M.D: “I cannot say I invented it. All I did was copy what is in women’s bodies. So, I can say I was the first good copycat.”

Ralph Zuranski: “Is it difficult to create natural hormone supplements?”
Jonathan Wright M.D: “Incidentally, natural medicine is not all that hard. All we have to do is observe exactly the way our bodies work bio-chemically and bio-energetically. We need to follow the way we fit in with nature. There are many things out there, in nature, that folks can use beneficially. All we have to do is copy that original blue print as closely as we can.”

Ralph Zuranski: “What do you see is the primary problem with conventional medical educations?”
Jonathan Wright M.D: “The whole problem with the way I was educated, if you can call it that, is that most of the doctors learned all about anatomy and physiology and bio-chemistry. When it comes to doing something, we learn to give drugs that have never been found in human bodies before.”

Ralph Zuranski: “How did you work through this problem?”
Jonathan Wright M.D: “What I’ve tried to do since 1972 is to work with things that belong in the body. We try to give the body what it is accustomed to…the essential nutrients, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, essential fatty acids, natural hormones and botanicals. We only use the drugs we absolutely have to when there isn’t any better alternative.”

Ralph Zuranski: “Were you one of the first to write articles about the benefits of DHEA?”
Jonathan Wright M.D: “In 1982, in one of the articles in one of the books I wrote, I think I was the first to put out there the idea of the use of DHEA. I certainly did not make up DHEA. Remember, it is in all our bodies. I also did not do the basic research. It was done by the universities.”

Ralph Zuranski: “Were you the first to use bio-identical estrogens?”
Jonathan Wright M.D: “As for putting it into general everyday practice, well that was a good year 1982. We created a process to produce bio-identical estrogens. We created DHEA in a natural form.

Ralph Zuranski: “Was there anyone else working in the same field?”
Jonathan Wright M.D: “I’m sure you all know that Dr. John Lee, at the same time, was working on natural Progesterone. He had a program that studied and produced identical natural estrogen, progesterone and DHEA. Also, they created a natural testosterone that we have been working with at our clinic, the Tacoma Clinic, since 1982.”

Ralph Zuranski: “Did you write any books on hormones?”
Jonathan Wright M.D: “A long about 1997, it seemed about time to write a book on that subject. With co-author, Mr. Morgan Thaylor, we wrote a book called Natural Hormone Replacement for Women Over 45. I am happy to say that some 200,000 copies have been sold. We have made that information available so that people can be better informed about not taking horse hormones or synthetic hormones, or other things that don’t belong in the body.”

Ralph Zuranski: “Did you write any books on testosterone?”
Jonathan Wright M.D: “We followed up on that book with Dr. Leonard. We wrote a book on testosterone replacement as well as the vitamins and minerals and botanicals everyone can use. That one came out in 1999. It has not quite sold 200,000 copies yet. That’s probably not important, but getting the information out is.”

Ralph Zuranski: “Did work with people who were in danger of death from super microbes created by the overuse of antibiotics?”
Jonathan Wright M.D: “Yes, another thing that occurred in our practice in the mid-1980’s had to do with a child, probably four or five years old. Her parents brought her in because of multiple kidney infections. She was told at her local university hospitals they were running out of anti-biotics that were effective. They told the parents she would probably be going into kidney failure and needed a kidney transplant.”

Jonathan Wright M.D: “When her parents brought her in they wondered if there was anything that could be done with natural medicine. Fortunately, the mom had kept a big scrapbook of all the things her daughter had to go through, including all the doctors she had seen. She had all the reports on the infections. They all turned out to be the most common bladder infections caused by the bacteria called E-Coli.”

Jonathan Wright M.D: “That is not the same as the E-Coli, called OH-157, we all hear about these days. It gets into meat and contaminates it. Unfortunately, food processing is not quite clean enough. People eat that contaminated meat and end up in the hospital with kidney failure and they die.”

Jonathan Wright M.D: “That is a mutant E-Coli. I am talking about the ‘normal’ E-Coli that lives in all mammals and people. It is found in the intestines and helps to digest food and make vitamins and other things. Basically, it’s called one of the normal internal micro-flora that we are all told by research scientists that we couldn’t exist without. they probably could not exist without us either, so we all get along.”

Ralph Zuranski: “Do these E-Coli migrate to other places in the body, outside of the intestines?”
Jonathan Wright M.D: “Yes, these E-Coli, as women unfortunately know more than men, have a bad habit of crawling around in the wrong place and creating infections. It is that kind of E-Coli…not the absolutely deadly ones that infected this little girl.”

Ralph Zuranski: “How did you overcome the infection?”
Jonathan Wright M.D: “She had so many infections of this E-Coli it was very difficult. What we did was find a simple sugar called Demanos.” This simple sugar has the very fortunate effect of attaching itself to the E-Coli bacteria like Teflon. The bacteria can no longer stick to the walls of the bladder or the urinary tract. Each time the person urinates, the bacteria are excreted.  

Ralph Zuranski: “Is it an antibiotic?”
Jonathan Wright M.D: “It is not an anti-biotic. It does not kill the bacteria. It just makes it simply impossible for them to stick in the bladder.”

Ralph Zuranski: “What impact does Demanos have on the cells?”
Jonathan Wright M.D: “It is also a simple sugar that is not metabolized by our bodies. It is extremely safe. No one ever was hurt with this stuff. A little bit is metabolized, less than 5%. 95% or more just gets into the system. It circulates in the blood stream and is eliminated through the kidneys. If there happens to be any E-Coli in there, it just rinses it away.”

Ralph Zuranski: “Was the treatment totally effective?”
Jonathan Wright M.D: “This little girl was five at the time. Now, she’ is nearly 20. She started taking quantities of Demanos. Remember, it is a sugar and tastes good. Can you imagine that a medicine that works and actually tastes good?”

Ralph Zuranski: “How was the sugar administered?”
Jonathan Wright M.D: “The mom just stirred it into her daughter’s water every 3 or 4 hours. She had to do that all day. But, from that time until now, and that was 1985 or 1986, she has had only one bladder infection. That was the time they went on vacation and forgot to take the Demanos with them.”

Ralph Zuranski: “Did the Demanos work for your other patients?”
Jonathan Wright M.D: “We have used that therapy at the clinic now for many years. Even though it is not in all those scientific papers, I told you about for this particular use. Since it has worked well for over ten years, I thought I could tell people about it even though there wasn’t scientific references I like to have when I tell people about therapies that work.”

Ralph Zuranski: “Is Demanos available in most stores?”
Jonathan Wright M.D: “Yes, now you can find Demanos in most natural food stores and many of the compounding pharmacies. Since this E-Coli causes more that 90% of all bladder infections, we actually need only 1/10th or less the number of antibiotics that are currently being used for urinary tract infections. You can actually get by with a simple sugar.”

Ralph Zuranski: “Are there other natural solutions to many of the health problems people suffer from?”
Jonathan Wright M.D: “The reason I brought this up is to illustrate that there are a whole lot of things we can use in nature that solve problems which still aren’t being solved.”

Ralph Zuranski: “Wasn’t your clinic raided by the FDA in the early part of the 1990’s.”
Jonathan Wright M.D: “Let’s do a little politics. Sometimes that is fun! Well, in 1992 we were having an average day at the Tacoma Clinic. Just before we were about to unlock our doors for the day, there was a ‘big ole banging on the doors’ and somebody kicked in the front doors.

Ralph Zuranski: “Wasn’t that kind of frightening?”
Jonathan Wright M.D: “They came running in through the side doors and the back door. These fellows were holding guns and were yelling “Raid! Raid! Raid!” And, it wasn’t an insecticide commercial! It was like one of those cop’s episodes!”

Ralph Zuranski: “What did your staff do?”
Jonathan Wright M.D: “You know that would have been funny except those were real guns! I am a 2nd amendment supporter so I’m happy that most of them had them pointed towards the ceiling. But, they did point one at our receptionist and said, ‘Hands up!!!’ So she put her hands up and said, ‘If you want an appointment, you don’t have to come in with a gun.’”

Ralph Zuranski: “Did the agents threaten you and your employees?”
Jonathan Wright M.D: “They told her to shut up! Actually, if it hadn’t been for real and gotten everybody’s adrenaline going, it would have been funny. They had a search warrant and we read the warrant.”

Ralph Zuranski: “What were the federal agents looking for?”
Jonathan Wright M.D: “They were there to arrest our B vitamins. No, I’m not kidding. They were there to arrest our vitamin B-Complex and our Vitamin B-12, some vitamin C and herbal extracts. And, all of these by the way were injectibles. They wanted them because they had the misfortune of being made in Germany, even though we bought them here in the United States.”
Jonathan Wright M.D: “The only reason I’m bringing this up is at that time, one of our favorite federal agencies, the FDA was before the congress asking for more and more power to regulate vitamins and minerals and botanicals. I guess they were demonstrating how much power they didn’t have with their guns-loaded-raid.”

Ralph Zuranski: “How did the media respond?”
Jonathan Wright M.D: “Very fortunately, some of the people that come to our clinic arrived for their appointment and were turned away. They started calling up the local radio, television and newspapers. It actually turned into a fairly big deal.”

Jonathan Wright M.D: “We are told by some White House officials that they had to install a special fax line at the White House. Before they were done, they received 25,000 faxes and who knows how many phone calls about this raid.”

Jonathan Wright M.D: “There was a cute letter to the editor of the newspaper. The writer said, “Here, I was sitting a McDonalds eating a Big Mac, drinking my coffee, smoking a cigarette and watching a cocaine deal go down across the street. When I saw the news flash about the B vitamin raid, I’m sure happy the government was protecting me against those B vitamins!!! "

Ralph Zuranski: “What do you feel were the long term consequences?”
Jonathan Wright M.D: “That is the kind of attention I received. The congressional hearing that was being held about giving the FDA more power was halted. We think by sitting there and getting ourselves raided by the FDA, we may have contributed to the turn around in the United States. It still needs more turning around. Please help us on that folks.”

Jonathan Wright M.D: “We contributed to the turn around that led to the changing the law allowing for vitamins, minerals, botanicals and so forth to be used more openly and freely. The big improvement was now people can put things on the market that are natural without having to get all this permission, as long as they are safe and natural.”

Ralph Zuranski: “What also needs to be done?”
Jonathan Wright M.D: “We still have one more step. We still can’t tell you what to do with them!! What do I mean by that? Ever pick up a bottle of Vitamin E and look at the label? It says Vitamin E 400 units. What’s it for? We are not supposed to tell anybody what it’s for, but at least we can put it on the market now. We couldn’t provide near the range of natural substances before the change in the law that happened in 1994. This new law was partly a result of that B vitamin raid on our clinic in 1992.”

Ralph Zuranski: “What was the final outcome of the raid?”
Jonathan Wright M.D: “In case you were ever wondering what the outcome of that raid was, that agency went through two grand juries. No indictments were handed down. Who knows, maybe the grand jurors were taking their B vitamins and they didn’t mind. After 3 years and $350,000 in legal defense funds, that agency just dropped the charges without telling us. We read about it in the newspapers that the case was dropped. And, for those of you who contributed to our legal defense fund, thank you, thank you very much, we wouldn’t have made it, our clinic couldn’t have afforded it.”

Ralph Zuranski: “Are you happy to be a part of the solution rather than the problem?”
Jonathan Wright M.D: “We are happy that the case was dropped. We are grateful we could contribute in some way to what we think is the political progress in this field. Well, the politics were fun and entertaining in retrospect, but what’s more important is continuing to look at that basic research.”

Ralph Zuranski: “Are you grateful more universities and research institutions are studying vitamins, minerals, herbs and hormones?”
Jonathan Wright M.D: “We are very happy now to see that many more universities are now researching and inventing more natural medicines. For example, researchers are studying what vitamin C and vitamin B will do. And, we are just happy and smile because we knew it all along, but why tell them? They just have to discover the truth for themselves.”

Ralph Zuranski: “What do you think about so many people taking credit for the vitamin and mineral revolution?”
Jonathan Wright M.D: “Let anyone who wants to take the credit do so. It is important that the information is out there so folks can take care of themselves with the help of their doctors, when they need it, in a more sound, natural, safe and effective manner.”

Ralph Zuranski: “What is your perspective on the pharmaceutical industry?”
Jonathan Wright M.D.: “Hopefully, the use of those things we call pharmaceuticals will decrease. We really should call them patented medicines because that is what they really are. The use of chemotherapy and radiation will decline as we do more research. Ultimately, we are a scientific community. When researchers do basic research in natural medicine and vitamins and minerals and herbs, the truth will become obvious to everyone.”

Ralph Zuranski: “Are you continuing with your research?”
Jonathan Wright M.D.: “Yes! I keep collecting all that scientific literature and putting it into effect. So do all the other doctors in our clinic.”

Ralph Zuranski: “Is there any way readers can help in defending our freedom to receive natural therapies and supplements?”
Jonathan Wright M.D.: “Those of you that are interested in this can help out in this effort by joining what we like to call the Movement for Healthcare Freedom. We are doing basic research that comes from looking at all that old medical literature and putting the therapies to good use.”

Jonathan Wright M.D: “In the AMA Journal from 1944, a doctor from the Mayo Clinic talked about the use of intravenous histamine for Multiple Sclerosis. He said better than 60% of the 100 patients he’d worked with had a major improvement, not a cure, but a major improvement in their MS by the use of this natural substance called histamine. Histamine was used from the 1940’s to the early 50’s. Then, it died out. In this decade, a nurse who has MS herself, Eileen Delac, figured out that it could be used in a transdermal patch rather than an IV solution. We are finishing up a double blind, placebo controlled research project on this material and it looks like its really helping folks.”

Ralph Zuranski: “Thanks for being a pioneer in alternative medicine and a health freedom fighter.”
Jonathan Wright M.D: “Thanks for listening. I hope everyone does a lot more watching and reading in this field to be able to take care of themselves and their families. Talk to everyone you know about their health. Thank you.”

A Book About the Harmful Effects Of Flouride Recently by Author Christopher Bryson Is Filled With Good Research and Information

Veteran investigative journalist Christopher Bryson’s new book on the highly
controversial subject of fluoride could not come at a more important time.
There has long been a question whether flouride is harmful or beneficial.
Christopher Bryson’s has definitely completed his research on this important topic.
If you have questions about flouride, his book appears to have some very though provoking answers.

In August 2003, the EPA requested that the National Research Council, the
research arm of the National Academy of Sciences, review recent scientific
literature to reevaluate our water fluoride safety standards. In the last review in 1993 there were found to be major gaps in research. Several studies of fluoride
toxicity since then strongly suggest that the current standard used by the EPA
may have to be dramatically revised downward and the almost sixty-year-old
practice of artificial water fluoridation abandoned.


Bryson’s book begins by relating how one of those recent pieces of research,
conducted by the Harvard toxicologist Phyllis Mullenix during the 1990‚s,
showed that fluoride in water produces symptoms in rats strongly resembling
attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). (Between 3 and 6 percent of
all US schoolchildren suffer this illness.) Just days before her research was
accepted for publication, Mullenix was fired as the head of toxicology at the
Forsyth Dental Center in Boston.

In a society where asbestos, lead, silica, beryllium and many other carcinogens
have found their way into the marketplace and then been recalled, one has to
wonder why fluoride, so toxic it is used as a rat poison and pesticide, is
embraced so thoroughly and so blindly.

With the narrative punch of Jonathan Harr’s A Civil Action and the commitment
to environmental truth-telling of Erin Brockovich, The Fluoride Deception (Seven
Stories Press, May 3, 2004) documents a powerful connection between big
corporations, the US military and the historic reassurances of fluoride safety
provided by the nation’s public health establishment.

For example, the book reveals how the leading scientific promoter of water
fluoridation during the cold war, Dr. Harold C. Hodge, had been the senior
toxicologist for the US Army Manhattan Project, where he had helped
orchestrate medical experiments in which patients were, unbeknownst to them,
injected with plutonium and uranium to determine the toxic effects of those
chemicals. Hodge had similarly been charged by the Manhattan Project with
investigating fluoride toxicity, (fluoride is a key chemical used to enrich
uranium). So, while Dr. Hodge was reassuring Congress of the safety of water
fluoridation, he was covertly shaping one of the nation’s first public water
fluoridation experiments in Newburgh, New York, secretly studying biological
samples from Newburgh citizens at his US Army laboratory at the University of
Rochester. Newburgh’s trumpeted verdict that fluoride was safe in low doses
was profoundly helpful for the US military who feared lawsuits for fluoride injury
from workers in nuclear plants.

The Fluoride Deception shows that fluoride pollution was one of the biggest
legal worries facing additional key US industrial sectors during the cold war.
And the book documents how a hitherto-secret group of corporate attorneys,
known as the Fluorine Lawyers Committee, whose members included U.S.
Steel, Alcoa, Kaiser Aluminum, Reynolds Metals, commissioned research at the
Kettering Laboratory at the University of Cincinnati to "provide ammunition" to
those corporations who were then fighting a tidal wave of citizen claims for
fluoride injury. The research was directed by Dr. Robert A. Kehoe, more famous
for his lifetime defense of the safety of leaded gasoline. When the half million
dollar medical study showed that fluoride poisoned lungs and lymph nodes in
laboratory animals, the research was buried, until Bryson dug up a copy during
research for his book. One leading scientist who reviewed the 40 year old
Kettering study suggested that its non-publication might have been responsible
for an epidemic of emphysema among key sector of the industrial workforce.
(Bryson has sent a copy to the NRC panel for review.)

Also consider:

— The legendary father of public relations, Edward L. Bernays, until now more
famous for his role persuading women to smoke cigarettes, took a leading role
in promoting water fluoridation in the United States, the book reveals, advising
both the United States Public Health Service and the New York City Health
Department;

— The book documents how the Fluorine Lawyers Committee and their medical
ambassadors were in personal and frequent contact with the senior officials of
the federal National Institute for Dental Research, discussing how safety studies
ostensibly conducted to prove water fluoridation safe, could also help industry;

— The burial of the Kettering study means that there are today no published
animal studies on fluoride dust inhalation to cite for the current occupational
standard;

— One of the worst air pollution disasters in the US—which jump-started the US
environmental movement—occurred in Donora, PA, during Halloween 1948, in
which twenty people were killed and thousands injured when industrial
pollution was released from a U.S. Steel plant. Industry and the Public Health
Service blamed bad weather and U.S. Steel never admitted responsibility. But
secret medical studies performed by industry and uncovered by Bryson reveal
extraordinarily high fluoride levels in victims’ blood;

— Although fluoride is up to 50 times more toxic than better known air pollutants
such as sulfur dioxide, and although thousand of pounds are belched out of the
nation’s coal burning electric power stations, fluoride is not regulated as a bad-
boy "criteria" air pollutant by the federal Clean Air Act;

— Most of Western Europe does not fluoridate their water, and yet their
improved dental records over the last 50 years mirrors the same increases seen
in the US.

Christopher Bryson has reported science news stories for media outlets such as
the BBC and the Christian Science Monitor, and for the Discovery Channel
through NBC and ABC News Productions. He was part of an investigative team
at Public Television that won a George Polk Award for “The Kwitny Report.” The
book has an introduction by Theo Colborn, co-author of Our Stolen Future
(1996), which was the subject of a PBS Frontline documentary, and a postscript
by the 2000 Nobel Prize winner for Medicine, Dr. Arvid Carlsson.

The Fluoride Deception reads like a thriller, but one supported by 200 pages of
source notes, years of investigative reporting, scores of scientist interviews, and
archival research in places such as the newly opened files of the Manhattan
Project and the Atomic Energy Commission. The book is nothing less than an
exhumation of one of the great secret narratives of the industrial era; how a grim
workplace poison and the most damaging environmental pollutant of the cold
war was added to our drinking water and toothpaste.

ADVANCE PRAISE FOR CHRISTOPHER BRYSON’S
THE FLUORIDE DECEPTION

“The addition of fluoride to water supplies violates modern pharmacological
principles…In addition, this measure is ethically questionable and
unnecessarily expensive…It is my sincere hope that Christopher Bryson’s
apparently thorough and comprehensive perusal of the scientific literature on
the biological actions of fluoride and the ensuing debates through the years will
receive the attention it deserves and that its implications will be seriously
considered.”
—Dr. Arvid Carlsson, 2000 Nobel Prize Laureate for Medicine

“In much the same way biologist Rachel Carson warned us over forty years ago
in Silent Spring about the havoc and harm being caused by the misuse of
persistent pesticides, journalist Christopher Bryson here lays bare the secret
story and hidden dangers of the introduction of fluoride chemicals from the Cold
War era into our drinking water. The irrefutable evidence of duplicity and cover-
up presented in this book is hair-raising. The Fluoride Deception presents a
scorching indictment of how researchers and health care officials working
closely with government agencies, big industry, and their attorneys have
allowed themselves to surrender their responsibility for the medical wellbeing of
their fellow citizens.”
—Dr. Albert W. Burgstahler, The International Society for Fluoride Research

"Bryson is right on in his emphasis on the ineffectiveness of fluoridation of water
with industrial wastes, and its risks of nerve and brain damage, and cancer,
coupled with the long standing industrial conspiracy to suppress this
information."
—Dr. Sam Epstein, Chairman of the Cancer Prevention Coalition

“THE FLUORIDE DECEPTION compellingly and inescapably exposes the
murderous fraud that heads of state and industry have for decades perpetrated
on an innocent public. Extremely well written and tightly researched, THE
FLUORIDE DECEPTION is sure to become the "must read" book in this
important and burgeoning field.”
—Derrick Jensen, author of The Culture of Make Believe and A Language Older
than Words

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Christopher Bryson is a veteran investigative reporter
for the BBC and the Christian Science Monitor, Project Censored Award winner,
and part of the investigative team that won a George Polk Award for The Kwitny

HealthyDoctors Health Program Outline Expanded with More Alternative, Natural and Holistic Health Information! Part 2

Day Three: Earth (Land & Minerals).
And God said, let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. Genesis 1: 9 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters he called Seas: and God saw that it was good. Genesis 1: 10 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth, and it was so. Genesis 1: 11

Earth: Importance Of Minerals.
Our bodies are composed of and need daily the major, trace & ultra-trace minerals. There are over 86 different minerals that our bodies need in some form or another.

The land is polluted because of toxic waste from chemical and human sources.
The pH of soil is out of balance because of bad farming techniques & chemical fertilizers.   Vegetables, fruits & grains appear normal but lack the balance of necessary minerals. In the Bible it was predicted that the earth would become like iron. In many faming communities this is already a fact.  

Unnatural farming techniques using harsh chemical fertilizers have killed the micro-organisms like earthworms and bugs in the soil that create the correct amount of nitrogen and other things the plant needs.
They allow the minerals to be absorbed by the plant. Over planting and not letting the ground rest every seventh year has depleted most of the valuable nutrients. 

Earth: Food Provides Building Blocks
Too much highly processed food consumed on a daily basis is damaging to our cells. High cooking heat make fats & oils rancid. They contain dangerous free radicals that damage and destroy your cells.

Earth: Eating Is A Fine Art
Dark leafy vegetables containing chlorophyll are essential for correct digestion. Poor food combinations adversely affect digestion, absorption & elimination. Mixing proteins hinders digestion. Proper food comining is a definite strategy that optimizes your health.

Eating unclean animals defined in the bible has a negative impact on health. 
The bible warns us about eating blood or the meat of animals that are not kosher.
Eating specific foods at specific times during the day really improves your health.

Protein digests between 12 noon and 2 PM.
Certain environments & activities while eating improve the body’s digestion. Soft music like Mozart is beneficial. Beautiful scenery also aids digestion. God has given us everything we need to have abundant health here on earth.

Earth: Aromas Are Key To Eating Enjoyment & Good Digestion
The aroma of food contributes greatly to the pleasure of eating & digestion effectiveness. When you see and smell food, you anticipate eating and actually start salivating.

Chewing is what sets up our bio-computer in our brain to take the food that we are eating and activate the different stages of digestion.
There are specific phases where certain digestive enzymes and pHs are required throughout the entire digestive system. Studies were done showing that people that had a feeding tube in their stomach due to having an illness were dying at an unprecedented rate.  They received a mixture of high nutrient food that should have caused the patients to be healthy.

Unfortunately, they continued to get sicker and sicker.
The study went on for 6 years. Finally, a researcher discovered that it was extremely important that the person manually chew some of the mixture in their mouth while it was being pumped into their stomachs. Digestion first begins in the mind and in the mouth when the food mixes with the saliva. It activates the whole digestive process.

How many people have you come in contact with that have a particular body odor that offends?
Have you ever wondered why you smell the way that you do? I’m sure you’ve noticed after you eat a certain type of diet that all of a sudden your body odor completely changes.

The foods we eat have a major impact on our own personal aroma.
What we eat determines what we smell like. This odor either attracts or repels others.

It’s not so much what we eat but what we absorb, that is the crucial factor.
It has a lot to do with what you put into your system. Aromas have a major impact on our emotions and reactions to our environment.

Nutritious Water, Air & Food Nutrients Are Necessary For Life
Oxygen is the most important nutrient for health and vitality. Pure water is critical for life.
Minerals, essential fats, protein, fruits and vegetables are the building blocks of all cells.

Your Health Is Affected By Your Ability To Process Food
Proper digestion of food is crucial to good health and high vitality. The nutrients you absorb determine your how you look and feel. The ability to eliminate toxins and food by-products is very important.

US Senate Document #264 (1936)
The importance of minerals in food is so new that the textbooks on nutritional dietetics contain very little about it. Nevertheless, it is something that concerns all of us, and the further we delve into it the more startling it becomes. We know that vitamins are complex chemical substances, which are indispensable to nutrition, and that each of them is of importance for the normal function of some special structure in the body. It is not commonly realized vitamins control the body’s appropriation of minerals, and in the absence of minerals they have no function to perform.

99% of the American people are deficient in minerals. A marked deficiency in any one of the more important minerals actually results in disease. Our physical well-being is more directly dependent on minerals we take into our systems than on calories, vitamins, or the precise proportions of starch, protein or carbohydrates we consume.
 
This discovery is one of the latest and most important contributions of science to the problem of human health. Most of us today are suffering from certain dangerous deficiencies.
These deficiencies cannot be remedied until the depleted soils from which our foods come are brought into proper mineral balance.

The alarming fact is that the foods—fruits, vegetables and grain, now being raised on millions of acres of land that no longer contains enough of certain needed minerals, are starving us—no matter how much of them we eat!

Heavy Metals, Insecticides and Pesticides Poison Our Bodies
The fillings in many teeth may be poisoning all your cells. Most fruits and vegetables have been sprayed with chemicals. Poisons and chemicals in water, soil and air are killing us slowly.

Day Four: Light (Sun & Moon)
And God said, let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years. Genesis 1: 14  And God made two great lights; the greater to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, and to rule over the day and over the night… Genesis 1: 16-18

Light: Sun Critical For Good Health
Sunlight is extremely important to health. Most people have the mistaken belief that the sun causes skin cancer. People minimize exposure with multiple layers of clothing and sunscreens. Sunglasses prevent beneficial energies from improving our daily functioning & well-being. Sunlight is most valuable during the early morning and later afternoon.

Light: Sun Critical For Good Health
Sunlight necessary for Vitamin D formation. Vitamin D assists in utilization of calcium.  Sunlight carries trace minerals from the sea. Morning sunlight energizes the brain & central nervous system (7 colors of rainbow). The morning sun also stimulates pituitary gland. Evening sunlight calms and relaxes the body & prepares brain for sleep.

Light: Moon Reflects Sunlight
The moon lights the darkness of night and produces a calming effect. The moon controls the tides. The emotions seem to be related to the gravitational effect of the moon. Women’s monthly period closely follows the moon’s cycle.

Earth: Colors Impact Your Life 
Colors affect your emotions and attitude. People’s first impressions depend on the colors and combinations you wear. Colors have a powerful ability to activate healing processes & help maintain health. Changing colors often provides a variety and spice to life.

Day Five: Physical Life (Air & Sea)
And God said; Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. Genesis 1: 20  And God created great whales and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw it was good. Genesis 1: 21

Sounds Have Physiological Effects
Birds are God’s living instruments that delight and inspire. Sound is a crucial part of communication between most land, air and sea creatures. Water sounds that come from running brooks and streams and ocean and sea waves soothe and calm. Weather sounds like wind, rain and thunder can alter our moods.

Day Six: Physical Life On The Earth
And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and everything that creeps upon the earth after his kind: and God saw it was good Genesis 1: 25 And God said, let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth. Genesis 1: 26 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, be fruitful and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air and over every living thing… Genesis 1: 27-28

When You Fight Or Run Your Body Changes Dramatically
Blood pressure increases. Blood surges to the brain, heart, lungs, legs and arms. Hands and feet became cold and clammy as the blood flooded the large muscles used for running and fighting.

Constant Stimulation Of The “Fight/Flight Response” Is Bad.
Family problems are never ending. Job pressures stay with us 24 hr a day. Incessant noise and environmental pollution stress our minds and bodies. Fighting others or running away is not often an acceptable option. Political correctness is damaging.

Constant Stress Is Dangerous and May Kill You Prematurely.
Scientists now realize constant stress causes your body to produce too much adrenaline and cortisol. These powerful hormones cannot constantly be produced 24 hours a day. Over production of cortisol causes the adrenals to increase in size. A steady flood of adrenaline and cortisol causes potentially dangerous and life-threatening problems.

Stress Without Relief Creates Hormonal System Breakdown.
The adrenals become exhausted. Cortisol levels are depleted. The body goes into forced recuperation. Sex hormones such as testosterone and progesterone are converted directly into adrenaline and cortisol.

The List Of Symptoms Of Adrenal Malfunctioning Is Scary.
Severe Depression
Fibromyalgia
Heart arrhythmia
Increased urine flow
Profuse sweating
Night sweats
Muscle spasms
Migraine headaches
Memory lapses
Stiff neck and shoulders
Asthma
Irritable bowel
Herpes outbreak
Psoriasis
Eczema
Lower back pain and syndrome
Sciatica
Erectile dysfunction
Amenorrhea (No menstrual cycle)
Hot flashes
Hypertension
Skin blotching, rashes and acne

Serious Disease Symptoms Are Related To Adrenal Abuse.
The immune system stops working. The reproductive system shuts down as the desire for sex disappears. Growth and cellular repair functions cease to operate correctly. Recovery time from illness is slowed. The digestive system freezes up.  The large intestine becomes paralyzed.
The anal sphincter locks closed so wastes are trapped in the colon. The body’s ability to control inflammation decreases.

Serious Disease Symptoms Are Related To Adrenal Exhaustion
Allergic reactions result in the swelling of the intestines. Celiac Disease and Malabsorption Syndrome become possible. Parasites viruses, bacteria, yeast and other harmful microorganisms flourish. Increase calcium mobilization causing osteoporosis or loss of bone density.

The First Stage of Adrenal Failure Is “Adrenal Adaptation.”
Menstrual problems
Sleep disturbances
Diarrhea
Decrease in sexual arousal
Digestive problems
Inability to calm down
Increased serum cholesterol
Severe weight gain or loss
Prostatitis

The Second Stage of Adrenal Failure Is “Adrenal Maladaption.”
Male or female hair loss
Bone density decrease
More frequent urination
Lower back pain
Sciatica
Chronic fatigue
Loss of libido
Impotence
Bloating and fluid retention
Constipation

The Third Stage of Adrenal Failure Is “Adrenal Exhaustion.”
Fibromyalgia
Chronic non-specific pain
Heart arrhythmia
Severe constipation
Panic attacks or severe anxiety
Bile reflux and digestive problems
Depression and mental frustrations
Memory loss and inability to think
Hypersensitivity to smells, lights and sounds
Difficulty breathing
Inflammation and joint pain

Day Six: Physical Life On The Earth
And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. Genesis 1: 29

Food You Are Eating Is Killing You or Making You Healthy.
When you eat the same foods every day, they become toxic. Toxic foods will poison and inflame your intestines. Allergic foods destroy your health and are a major cause of stress.
 
Food Toxicity Is The Result of Eating the Same Foods Every Day and Improper Food Combinations.
Proper combinations & eating good quality food causes many of these toxic food symptoms to disappear.

A Healthy Colon Is Critical For Optimal Health.
Antibiotics are devastating to the healthy bacteria in your colon. Antibiotics kill all the friendly and dangerous bacteria in the body. When the bacteria die in the colon, the yeast has an open field. The Candida yeast displaces the bacteria and turn into a fungus form.

Leaky Gut Syndrome Is Very Traumatic To All Cells
Nutrients are not absorbed correctly leading to fatigue and bloating. Large food particles are absorbed causing food sensitivities that cause lung and joint inflammation. Proteins are damaged that carry minerals throughout the body causing deficiencies.

Leaky Gut Syndrome Is Very Traumatic To All Cells
Gut’s detoxification ability suffers leading to more sensitivities and a potential overload on the liver. Immune system is compromised so microorganisms flourish. Yeast and bacteria escape into the blood stream causing severe infections.  Arthritis, lupus, MS etc. begin to appear.

Common Causes of the Leaky Gut Syndrome Are Addictive
Foods high is sugar feed the yeast. Caffeine from soft drinks and coffee can poison the cells.
Food additives and chemicals have an adverse affect on the cells. Intolerance to wheat, dairy and eggs can devastate the intestines.

Constipation Found In Sigmoid & Descending Colon Is A Problem.
Colon cancer kills more people than breast or prostate cancer.  About 60,000 Americans die from colon-rectal cancer each year. America has the highest incidence of colon cancer in the world.

Constipation Is The Result Of Poor Diets And No Roughage
Average Americans store between 6-10 pounds of fecal waste. One cubic inch of Grade A beef has over 1,000-parasite larva. Fish are the worst with parasites as big as earthworms.

2-3 Regular Bowel Movements A Day Keep Parasites Away
If you are irregular and go only a few times a week, parasites hatch. They hook onto your colon wall and eat backed up fecal waste. Some even start eating the tissue of the colon wall.

Colon Diseases and Problems Have Increased Dramatically
Diverticulosis, herniated bowel pockets caused by constipation, has increased, is dangerous. After age 40, most people have some form of bowel disease. Up to 50% have polyps.

What Determines If Your Bowel Movements Are Healthy
Healthy people have bowel movements 20-30 minutes after each meal. Elimination time is 1 minute or less. No squeezing, straining, grunting, screaming, meditation or prayer required.
There are 2-4 movements daily with a soft unformed peanut butter texture.

Natural Ways To Get Your Colon Working Correctly
Exercising regularly excites the muscular contractions in your colon. Reduce stress and eliminate negative emotions like fear, anger and hate. Every four months complete an intensive colon-cleansing program to get rid of parasites and fecal material stuck on the colon wall. 

Natural Ways To Get Your Colon Working Correctly
Drink more pure water, herb teas, diluted fruit and vegetable juices. Eat more fiber that is found in non-animal food sources. Eat natural foods like apples, prunes, bananas, figs and dates.

Average Americans Are Very Constipated For Life
The average for Americans is 2-3 bowel movements a week. This is about 70,000 short during a lifetime of bowel problems. Coffee drinkers suffer greater constipation when they stop coffee.

Parasites, Worms, Yeast, Fungi & Bacteria Are Eating Us Alive
Flukes and worms from numerous protein sources infest our intestines. Bacteria and viruses are eating holes in our arteries.90% of all strokes and heart attacks are caused by Epstein Barr, Clamydia Pneumonia and Cytomeglia Virus eating microscopic holes in our arteries. Yeast and fungus are consuming our vital nutrients.
 
This is a documented fact that is just beginning to come out.
Let us say there is a microscopic, pinprick hole in your artery. What does the body think has happened?
 
Your body thinks it has to plug up the hole regardless of how tiny and sends a blood clot to plug the hole.
Once there the clot sees the hole is too tiny to be life threatening it causes havoc by going somewhere else in the body. There are lab tests you can do to check on the amount of inflammation and infection in your body. If you have high cholesterol that is not as big of a risk factor as the infections.

Day Six: Physical Life On The Earth
And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creeps upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so. Genesis 1: 30

Earth: Clothing Is Very Important
Cooling and warming the body is crucial. Synthetic can have an adverse effect on our biochemistry. Natural fibers are very strengthening. Combinations of natural materials and synthetic fibers have a surprising impact. They are very weakening when tested through muscle testing. Mixing animal & plant fibers is not beneficial. Loose comfortable clothing is more beneficial than tight form fitting clothes.

Day Seven: Rest From Labors
Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And, on the seventh day God ended his work, which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work, which he had made. And, God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made. Genesis 2: 1-3
 
Suggestions for health!

Our lives are so filled with activities that there is no time for people to rest.
A prolonged imbalance in any area of life will eventually manifest itself in a form of pain and or dysfunction in the physical body. Unless good food choices and correct eating combinations are added to your life, abnormal cellular biochemistry results.

We become either too acidic or too alkaline. Keeping tract of your pH is an important part of the healing process and attaining a high level of health. Everything in your body is affected if your pH is off by even a small amount.

When you wake up in the morning, 3-5  minutes of deep breathing exercises is invaluable.
This is so important because more oxygen goes to your brain. The brain works better when it has as much oxygen as possible.

Drink 4 oz. of water with a ½ of a fresh squeezed lemon.
The lemon helps cleanse and make the system. Even though a lemon seems acidic, since it has citric acid, your body burns it up it becomes an alkaline ash and gives you the minerals you need to help deal with acids naturally created by the body.
 
Walking is a great exercise. 
Go  for a short walk. This exercises the lymphatic system. When we move our muscles this activity squeezes the lymph system. It helps the body remove toxins out of the body. 

A good idea is to have a high protein snack between breakfast and lunch.
This helps the body maintain proper glucose levels in the body. When it keeps your blood glucose level up, you don’t have to use up all your cortisol to keep the blood sugar at a correct level. A mid-morning snack also helps to insure that you probably won’t overeat at lunch.

If you have a meal where you mix acid and alkaline foods together, problems occur?
The acid and alkaline foods neutralize each other.  You don’t get any digestion at all. People that eat smaller meals and more often, like 6-8 meals a day, are healthier than if they eat 3 large meals.

Try to eat supper 3 hrs. before retiring.
It’s not a good idea to go to bed with a full stomach because the body has to work harder to digest the food and heal like it’s supposed to do.

Do deep breathing exercises again before retiring.
The body needs oxygen also to repair and heal itself.

Understanding Hormonal Balance Is Critical To Everyone's Health At Any Age! Part One

Dr. Michael Borkin, ND Explains Hormonal Imbalances and Balance In an Interview With Janet Zuranski, Part One

Janet: “How do women get hormones to replace the ones that diminish during menopause?”
Dr. Borkin: “The way most women get their hormones these days is through HRT, Hormone Replacement Therapy, specifically estrogen and sometimes progesterone.”

Janet: Do you have some idea as to the right order in which to re-establish the levels of these hormones in the body? Should we look at some of the other stress factors before giving estrogen and/or progesterone?
Dr. Borkin: “When you talk about alternative medicine or naturopathic medicine you are really talking about going back to the origin of the dysfunction. If you eliminate the origin of the dysfunction, then future symptoms later in the person’s life are eliminated. When it comes to looking at something like hormonal replacement therapy, it is very important to take into consideration what the body is capable of doing itself first.”

Janet: “I have heard that the body steals some of the sex hormones and uses them to control stress, in an attempt to try to restore balance. Is that true?”
Dr. Borkin: “If you stop the conversion of sex hormones for stress purposes first then that may adequately solve the problem. The stress hormones need to deal with stress. When they are allowed to do what they were intended to do, stress is controlled. If the imbalance is treated initially, then one would not need to replace these hormones.”

Janet: “Is stress as much of a problem as most people think?”
Dr. Borkin “What was found in research is that many of these hormones, that were believed to be age variant, meaning as we get older they decrease their production, are dependent on just how much stress a person experiences over their lifetime. The more stress you endured, the lower the levels of the production of these hormones were.

Janet: “Is it possible for people in their later years to have normal hormone levels?”
Dr. Borkin: “You can find someone in their seventies and eighties with normal levels of these hormones. Yet, a child in their teens can have abnormal values. If we take that into consideration and we look at something like hormonal replacement therapy, we have to make sure first that we’ve provided the proper foundation for balance. Then we have to provide what the body really needs.”

Janet: “How is it possible to determine hormone levels accurately?”
Dr. Borkin: “In order to determine what the body really needs we have to perform certain diagnostics. Now, because of technology, we can use something like saliva as a diagnostic tool. It is very user friendly. It is collected using what’s called a salivette, which is a simple collection device that looks like a cotton swab. You chew on it until it is full of saliva. Then you put it back into the vial. Then you send it to the laboratory.”

Janet: “Does that make it easier for patients to collect enough samples for an accurate test?
Dr. Borkin: “That makes it viable for testing in whatever environment a person is involved. This means you can take it to work and test how you react to the stressors at work. They you can test how you react to the stresses on your way home. Once you are at home, you can determine your levels of stress.

Janet: “What is the difference between how you are affected during the day, night and while you sleep?”
Dr. Borkin: "When we look at these specific aspects, it gives us a very specific or clear focus as to what’s necessary as far as replacement is concerned. It is very important to look at a twenty-four hour circadian cycle.”

Janet: “Don’t most doctors just test the saliva at only one time?”
Dr. Borkin: “The standard of the industry was to test at 8:00 AM. That is the highest point of the hormonal levels. Now, with many of these hormones, they are adequately high or within normal ranges at that time. Unfortunately, two hours later they drop to sub-optimal levels.

Janet: “Doesn’t that provide wrong information on a person’s hormone levels?”
Dr. Borkin: “If they are elevated at one specific time during a 24 hr. circadian cycle, that’s the indication that your physician gets. He is going to treat for a hyper (too high) situation rather than a hypo (too low) situation. The treatment protocol many times is 180 degrees from what it should be.

Janet: “Why do doctors focus on one specific time of day to make the test?”
Dr. Borkin: There is an illusion that one specific time in the day is the golden hour or the time that is “most you.” This is used as a rule of thumb in order to determine what hormones to treat with and how much.”

Janet: “Is there a difference between natural and pharmaceutical hormones?”
Dr. Borkin: "When you start to treat utilizing pharmaceutical compounds, in many cases, the results are very different. In the case of the use of progestin, there is a completely different aspect to how a progestin affects the body verses a natural progesterone.”

Janet: “Why don’t doctors use natural substances rather than chemical substitutes?”
Dr. Borkin: “A pharmaceutical company can’t patent a naturally occurring structure or molecule. They have to alter it so they can get a patent. Unless they have a patent, they can’t make a lot of money.”

Janet: “What is the difference between Progestins and progesterone?”
Dr. Borkin: “Progestins are altered progesterone that look very similar and cause certain reactions to take place. They are not the same. They do not cause the same reactions to take place that natural progesterone does.”

Janet: “What is the story on Premarin?"
Dr. Borkin: "The source of Premarin is pregnant mare’s urine. Basically, it is concentrated horse urine. Take a Premarin tablet and put it into water. Then, let it dissolve and then smell the water. You will be amazed because it smells just like horse urine."

Janet: “Why do you think women willingly ingest horse urine?”
Dr. Borkin: “Women do not understand what they are taking. They never question their physician. Most physicians do not understand what they are prescribing. What they were taught twenty or thirty years ago in school is now invalid.”

Janet: “Does every woman get the same dosage?”
Dr. Borkin: “It’s not the levels of these hormones that is as important. The relationship or the ratio of one to the other is critical. The ratio of progesterone to estrogen is very, very important.”

Janet: “Does the imbalance in hormones cause the problem?”
Dr. Borkin: “I see more often that it is not a problem with the production of these hormones. The problem is maintaining a healthy relationship between the different hormones.”

Janet: “Why is the female menstrual cycle so difficult to balance out?”
Dr. Borkin: “The dynamics of a female menstrual cycle is unique. The first 14 days, or the first half of the menstrual cycle, is an estrogen dominant cycle. The body is preparing for the possibility of a fertile egg being implanted and nurturing that egg. After ovulation, if it is not successful and an egg is not fertilized, progesterone is responsible for breaking down these tissues and starting the cycle all over again.”

“Janet: How is the first part of the cycle different from the second?”
Dr. Borkin: “The first 2 weeks is completely chemically different in a female’s body than the second two weeks of the cycle. This is why so many women have no difficulty hormonally during the first part of the cycle. In most cases, the first two weeks are fine. It is not until the second phase of the cycle that women experience uncomfortable symptoms. The last two weeks, a woman becomes progesterone dominant. This is usually when the real dysfunction appears. It becomes worse and worse as the cycle progresses.”

Janet: “Is the problem too much or too little progesterone?”
Dr. Borkin: “In many cases, the problem is not a lack of the production of progesterone. The difficulty arises when the progesterone is converted into stress hormones, so she can deal with the stress in her life.”

Janet: “Does that mean the body places a higher priority on dealing with stress than pregnancy?”
Dr. Borkin: “When a woman is severely stressed out, the body recognizes too much stress as a more important problem. Dealing with stress is higher on the list of priorities than fertility.”

Janet: “What is stress and why is it so dangerous?
Dr. Borkin: “Stress is different for every body. The term stress means the total input of all data within a certain time. During a waking cycle, usually 16 hours, we are up and functioning. We have certain capacities as far as the brain is concerned. When we exceed that capacity dysfunction occurs.”

Janet: “Does that mean biological rhythms are important?”
Dr. Borkin: “There are certain cycling or patterns that have to take place within a 24 hour period of time. In order to eliminate stress, we have to determine what stress is. For one person stress is one thing and to another person its something else.”

Janet: “Would people with different lifestyles experiences unique types of stress?
Dr. Borkin: “The stress on a professional fighter who is attacked by a couple of guys with knives is totally different than an average person. The professional fighter simply beats them up and keeps walking. The average individual experiences this event quite differently. For many it is a damaging life long experience.”

Janet: “How do we identify stress in our lives?”
Dr. Borkin: “What is stress to one person is completely different to another individual. We have to learn to be able to see the difference between mental and physical stress. Physiologically, three things are the primary stressors in the body.

Janet: “What are they?”
Dr. Borkin: “The most easily identifiable and widespread is glycemic control or blood sugar problems. This is the most important aspect of dealing with the secondary problems that contribute to and cause this uncontrollable ongoing threshold stress.

Janet: “Does that mean poor digestion creates greater problems than just an upset stomach or gas?”
Dr. Borkin: “Malabsorption syndrome or digestive dysfunction is at the very core of the creation of physical and mental stress. When digestion is poor, some of the food turns into chemicals that irritate the digestive tract. This creates a barrier that makes it very difficult to actually absorb and utilize what we put in our mouths.”

Janet: “Does that mean the food we eat can actually be killing us?”
Dr. Borkin: “There is no guarantee that when you put something in your mouth that it ever goes where it is intended. There are also certain genetic factors. There are certain components or molecules like the gluten molecule, found in all grain with the exception of rice and corn, milk proteins and sucrose. They are all genetically predetermined in the body as far as utilization.”

Janet: “Are most people really allergic to grain, corn, milk and sugar?”
Dr. Borkin: “Everyone is different. When somebody from one part of the world is exposed to only one type of food, they can react violently to that same food grown in another part of the world. They can have a severe allergic response. The body is programmed to digest and utilize food grown locally. The same food cultivated in strange climates and soils, may have a totally different effect. Foods that people eat every day can also cause the body to build up a tolerance and eventually respond in an allergic manner.”

Janet: “What are the optimal eating habits?”
Dr. Borkin: “The body is designed to go 6 hours between meals, with three meals a day. If that is diminished, such as it is in the presence of the symptoms of hypoglycemia or low blood sugar, then the body uses the hormone is cortisol.

Janet: “I have heard that cortisol is one of the most important hormones for survival. Is that true?”
Dr. Borkin: “Cortisol elevates the blood sugar back into normal ranges. Insulin is used to maintain blood sugar to keep it from going too high. Cortisol is at the other end of the spectrum. It keeps the blood sugar from going too low. It is also the primary stress hormone along with adrenaline. Cortisol elevates in order to maintain blood sugar. What we look at is to determine how much of this is directly related with a person’s inability to maintain reserves of energy because they are not digesting foods correctly and absorbing the nutrients adequately.”

Janet: “Does cortisol affect all the cells in the body?”
Dr. Borkin: “Every cell in the body is affected. We are not one solid unit. We are actually a community of trillions and trillions of members. It is like having the largest factory in the world or in the universe, and the most well organized. If this were a corporation, it would have trillions and trillions of workers and only eight supervisors or managers and one CEO. Those eight supervisors make up the endocrine system or hormonal system.”

Janet: “What is the order or organization in the hormonal system?”
Dr. Borkin: “In most cases any typical abuse is handled on a local level without having to go to a manager. When a manager is needed, it becomes a bigger problem. When it goes to multiple managers, higher up in the hierarchy, it becomes a monumental problem. When it goes to the CEO of the hormonal system, the person is in big trouble. The master control mechanism is called the hypothalamus.”

Janet: “How does the hypothalamus control the body?”
Dr. Borkin: “The hypothalamus is the link between the hormonal system and the autonomic nervous system. When imbalances in the body arrive at a critical point, when the body goes into a state of chaos, the hypothalamus has to take control. It is inescapable.”

Janet: “Does aging have any affect on the cortisol levels in the body?”
Dr. Borkin: “As we get older and these hormonal dysfunctions occur, it causes things like chronic fatigue and Fibromyalgia. Too much cortisol can even cause heart related symptoms.

Janet: “Are there tests for hormonal imbalances?”
Dr. Borkin: There are tests that determine if it is in fact the heart or a cardiac problem, or if in all actuality, it is simply a hormonal dysfunction. If the original problems would have been properly managed when it first started, it would never have manifested or gone that far.”

Janet: “How does mainstream medicine deal with hormonal imbalances?”
Dr. Borkin: “The mainstream thought in the scientific and medical communities is if something is low you simply elevate it. The problem with this philosophy is that if you change something on the left then something on the right changes.

Janet: “You were telling me about how the body uses the sex hormones to deal with stressful situations. Can you elaborate on that a little?”
Dr. Borkin: “When it comes to the hormone testosterone, we are dealing with a situation where we are converting the normal production of testosterone into the stress hormone cortisol. When we throw in more testosterone because the levels are low, it is like throwing lighter fluid on a raging fire. The extra testosterone fuels the abnormal functioning of the hormonal system.”

Janet: “Is it dangerous when the body starts stealing hormones from one area for another?”
Dr. Borkin: “There are increasingly severe problems if the causes of hormonal imbalance are not addressed. Even when you supplement hormones that are too low, this does not solve the original problem. Just because a level is low, it does not mean you are going to elevate that hormone if it is being converted into another hormone.”

Janet: “Is that why just supplementing testosterone without checking the other hormone levels is dangerous?”
Dr. Borkin: “This is really where the major mistakes are made by most practitioners. Testosterone is a fascinating hormone. We have been studying testosterone longer than any other steroid hormone. We know a lot about testosterone but not enough.”

Janet: “Testosterone seems to be a very important hormone. What have the studies shown?”
Dr. Borkin: “What is interesting about testosterone levels is that if we look back 50,000 years ago, testosterone levels were extremely high at that time. Testosterone is also a survival hormone. It is responsible for allowing us to go into a hostile environment and survive extremely stressful situations.”

Dr. Borkin: "Approximately 200 years ago, if you were a pioneer crossing the country on a wagon train, testosterone is the hormone that got you through. It also allowed a woman to make it in a hostile environment. If the levels of testosterone were as low as they are today, generally speaking, there is no way we would have been able to conquer that kind of environment.”

Janet: “So, does that mean testosterone is important to both men and women?”
Dr. Borkin: “Testosterone is extremely important. It also has a very powerful affect on motivation. It is also involved in many, many other processes. Not all of these processes are unrelated to sex.”

Janet: “Does testosterone have any relationship to the growth hormone?”
Dr. Borkin: “There must be a balance between testosterone and growth hormone. We have heard a lot about growth hormone. The use of growth hormone can be fabulous, if it is used in the proper manner.”

"Dr. Borkin: “I like to use the analogy with my patients that growth hormone is kind of like putting a turbo charger on your car. If you only have two tires on that car and then add a turbo charger, it is going to spin around out of control much faster than it would have before.”

Janet: “Are there different types and levels of the same hormones in the body?”
Dr. Borkin: When we look at the use of certain hormones, we want to create the proper foundation. In order to balance the specific levels of hormones in a man or a woman, we want to look at the free fractions, those levels of hormones that are accessible, that are going to be utilized.”

Janet: “Why do you test the hormone levels in the saliva?”
Dr. Borkin: “Saliva is easy to collect and shows the bioactive availability of the different hormones. Once we determine what the fluctuations are throughout a 24 hour period, we begin to understand what is really going on.

Janet: “Do hormone levels change naturally throughout the day?”
Dr. Borkin: “A man’s testosterone levels are not constant throughout the day. They change dramatically from the morning, when they are at their highest level. At midnight, they are at their lowest point.”

Dr. Borkin: “When we look at these 24-hour measurements, we are able to determine the time of the day to supplement. It is not only determining what those levels are, but this is a guideline for accurately supplementing at exactly the right time. If the hormone is high at a specific time, you do not supplement it then. You wait until it is low.”

Janet: “How do you provide additional amounts of absorbable hormones to the body?”
Dr. Borkin” When it comes to supplementation, we only have a handful of methods of getting it into the body. If you take supplements orally, there is no guarantee that when you put something in your mouth it ever gets to the target tissue, especially, if we have some kind of digestive disturbance or malabsorption.

Dr. Borkin: “If something interferes with the proper absorption or utilization of nutrients or hormones, then the oral route is not really the first choice. When it comes to the use of a hormone, there is the “First Pass Mechanism” where a hormone is utilized through the digestive tract to get it into the blood stream.”
“When we take a look at this mechanism, it relies on the digestive tract working properly. The liver must work correctly in order to obtain approximately 5% of the hormone for use in the body. That is like depositing a hundred dollars into your bank account and getting to use five dollars. So, it is not a real effective method of getting the money into the account.”

Dr. Borkin: “The same is true as far as contributing hormonally. If we wanted to get these hormones into the blood stream, in their entirety, we would use injectibles. But, that is not real user friendly. Most people would not want to do that several times a day, even if it was medically indicated.”

Dr. Borkin: “A new delivery system is “Transdermal Delivery.” I have been working with this technique for twelve years. In the last twenty years, scientists have been focusing on this type of delivery system. Transdermal delivery mechanisms, such as the Nicorette, testosterone and estrogen patches, are now treatments of choice.”

Dr. Borkin: “These are mechanisms applied to the skin. The chemicals are delivered through the skin. You get the equivalent of what you would get if it was injected directly into the body. It is no different injecting than it is to take something transdermally, if it is a true transdermal device.”

Janet: “How is the transdermal delivery system different than just applying lotions to your skin?”
Dr. Borkin: “This is where I need to explain the difference between a transdermal and a topical. There are many products, especially progesterone creams that claim to be transdermal but they are not. They are only topical.”

Dr. Borkin: “They call themselves transdermal because the size of the progesterone itself is so small. If apply the progesterone itself to the skin, it is small enough so it goes through the pores of the skin and winds up in the blood stream to a certain extent.”

Dr. Borkin: “Unfortunately, much of what you apply is actually stored in the skin and in the fat cells. A true transdermal delivery mechanism is the equivalent of directing it through a specific apparatus directly into the blood stream. It is similar to drinking a glass of water filled with ice. If you insert a straw, you get more of the fluids.

HealthyDoctors Health Program Outline Expanded with More Alternative, Natural and Holistic Health Information! Part 1

"Valuable Health Principles Based On The “Wisdom Found In God’s Word and the Research Of Open-Minded Scientists and Health Researchers!”

There Are Health Secrets Your Family Absolutely Must Know To Survive and Thrive In The World Today!
Every person benefits when they know the causes of disease. Intelligent individuals do everything in their power to avoid quality of life threatening diseases. People with common sense invest time and money in their health.

This health program is based on health knowledge found in God’s word and the work of many scientists and health researchers willing to test biblical health principles.
In many situations, people don’t know where to turn. Their doctors prescribe everything from drugs, diets and exercise. Still, there is not much improvement. People either stay at the same miserable place or get worse.

Does it seem possible God's wisdom about diet and exercise actually works...even today?
The changes in a person's experience of life are amazing when they know what to eat. When they prepare food correctly and follow the "Laws of Food Combining," increases in health levels is instantaneous.

When you follow God’s eating and health advice, you quickly notice a difference in how you feel.
Many people that were hopeless cases, found that checking the pH of their saliva and urine is one of the missing links. This valuable information is unique for each individual. Knowing the truth about your biochemistry is useful in unlocking the secrets of health.

pH balancing is simple, inexpensive and easy to understand.
You can purchase the pH paper at most local health food stores. It is cheap and readily available. This amazing test allows many people to achieve a more enjoyable level of health. When people begin to understand how their body processes food, they can make changes in their diet and eating habits that increase their health levels.

First we’ll talk about the importance of your environment.
The original environment created by God was pure and clean. Our environment has changed dramatically. As a result, many of us have more health challenges that are increasingly difficult to cure. Colds and the flu seem to be more severe and take longer to get rid of.

Dangerous diet changes are a result of man believing his wisdom is better than God's.
Biochemists and food scientists are always tinkering with the natural order of things. They add, subtract and change what God has created in an effort to make it conform to their goals.

Often, their primary focus is to generate greater income for their companies.
If they make food last longer in the stores before spoiling, the big food conglomerates make more money. Their motivation is purely economic. Although, there are some altruist scientists that are trying to make the world a better place.

Other changes have created more problems.
Scientists have added chlorine to the water and iodine to table salt. This causes undesirable biochemical reactions in our bodies. The reduced fat intake has affected the fat cells that shield our nerves and brain cells from harm. Now we consume ever larger amounts of sugar and starch.

The fuels we use for energy have a tremendous impact on how we feel from moment to moment.
Low fat intake equals low energy. Correct amounts of unsaturated fats are a great source of natural, long-term energy. Lots of refined sugar adversely affects the pancreas, causing high blood sugar that requires large amounts of insulin in our blood. Too much insulin causes the body to turn sugar and carbohydrates into fat.

When we consume lots of sugar, it creates a huge amount of stress on our adrenals...the stress buffering system of the body.
Increases in diabetes, both insulin dependent and non-insulin dependant in our society, can be related to our intake of excessive amounts of sugar and starches. Too much refined sugar has long been known as one of the secret poisons.

The balance between insulin and the stress hormone cortisol is crucial to good health and mental stability.
When we eat the same foods too often, our intestines can become irritated. We become allergic to specific food components. As the intestines swell, less nutrients are absorbed. There are fewer building blocks to repair the body's tissues. A lack of energy becomes a daily event. At night, the blood sugar drops so low, the adrenals have to secrete a very powerful hormone called cortisol, just to keep the blood sugar in a safe range.

When the body secretes cortisol, the "Fight or Flight Hormone" at night, the body sleeps but gets no rest.
This is a classic situation for most people who wake up tired. Their bodies are not getting enough nutrients to heal at night. Once the blood sugar level starts to drop at 1 AM- 2 AM, they wake up and cannot get back to sleep.
(Click Here to read my special Hormone Report.)

When we eat too much protein this creates more problems.
Have you heard about protein diets, like the "Atkin's Diet," where you eat a lot of protein to loose weight by minimizing the amount of insulin in their blood? The problem with too much protein is that the acidity of the body increases. The higher the acidity, the greater the opportunity for cellular malfunction. The more acid the body's fluids, the greater amount of minerals are leached out of the bones to neutralize this threat.

Day One: Water In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. Genesis 1: 1-2

Water Is Crucial For Health
Your body is over 70% water. Water cleanses and removes toxins from the cells, dissolves nutrients, lubricates all parts of body and is crucial for temperature regulation. The optimal water to drink is distilled or reverse osmosis. We do not need all the extra inorganic minerals in spring or well water. Drinking 1/2 of a lemon in warm water in morning helps the cells maintain a biochemical balance. it is wise to filter all shower & drinking water.

Drink 4 ounces every ½ hour religiously.
It takes at least 2 weeks to rehydrate your cells. Drinking more than 4 ounces of water at a time washes out vital minerals and water soluble vitamins. You should carry your water bottle with you everywhere. Constantly sipping water is one of the best things you can do for your health.

Water Is An Important Nutrient We Need Daily For Good Health.
75% of the population is chronically dehydrated. 37% have thirst mechanisms that are so weak, thirst is mistaken for hunger by body. Mild dehydration slows body's metabolism by as much as 3%. Few people know that eight ounces of water during the noght will shut down midnight hunger pangs when people are on a diet.

Water Is Critical To Every Biochemical Activity.
Lack of water is the #1 trigger for daytime fatigue. Proper hydration significantly eases back and joint pain for 80% of the people who drink enough water. A 2% drop in hydration triggers fuzzy short-term memory. Dehydrated people have problems with math. They also have difficulty focusing on a computer screen or a printed page. Drinking soft drinks is not healthy because they are too acidic for the body and contain dangerous artificial sweeteners.

Adequate Water Consumption Prevents Many Serious Diseases.
The risk of colon cancer decreases by 45%. The risk of breast cancer declines by 79%. The risk of bladder cancer drops by 50%.

Day Two: Air Crucial To Life.
And God said, let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. Genesis 1: 6 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters, which were under the firmament from the waters, which were above the firmament: and it was so. Genesis 1: 7.

In the time of Adam and Eve and before the great flood there was a mantle of water, like a sea of water, above the earth.
This massive amount of water prevented a lot of the incoming cosmic and solar radiation from penetrating down into the earth. The lack of cosmic and solar radiation radically decreased cellular mutations. Many scientists belive that was why people in those days lived a long time.

Air Is The Food We Eat Most.
Over 80% of our nutrition comes from air. Oxygen is necessary for all cleansing and correct functioning of our metabolism. Deep breathing exercises throughout the day help keep the body's cells balanced and working correctly.

Oxygen Is The Common Factor In 4 Basic Components of Life.
Nitrogen + carbon + hydrogen + oxygen = protein
Carbon + hydrogen + oxygen = carbohydrates
Hydrogen + oxygen = water
Oxygen + carbohydrates = energy

Oxygen Is The Primary Food Needed By Every Cell.
Oxygen levels since dinosaurs has decreased by almost 50%. Dinosaurs required 38% oxygen to survive and thrive. Current oxygen levels are between 19% - 21%.

Air Pollution Decreases Oxygen Levels and Poisons Your Cells.
Some large cities have oxygen levels measured at 12% - 15%. Oxygen levels below 7% will not support human life. Researchers see a direct correlation between lower oxygen levels and increases in illnesses & diseases.

Scientists Now Believe Lack Of Oxygen Is Cause Of All Disease.
Researcher, Dr. Stephen Levine, discovered low oxygen levels were common in all degenerative disease. High levels of oxygen provide a powerful natural defense against diseases and premature aging.

Doctor Warburg Believed Cancer Was Caused by Low Oxygen Levels.
Dr. Otto Warburg was awarded the Nobel Prize for his research. Cancer invaded the body when cells did not have enough oxygen. Cancer cells could not spread in an oxygen-rich environment.

Without Oxygen, Death Occurs Within A Matter Of Minutes.
The body dies somewhere around 4 minutes without oxygen because the brain cells die. Oxygen is used-up in the body and must be replaced every second. 90% of body’s life energy is dependent on oxygen levels. All cellular functions require oxygen or they won’t work. The Krebs cycle is ATP, glucose and oxygen is crucial for the energy factory inside the cell, called the mitochondria. If you don’t have enough oxygen then all the bio-chemical activity in the cell is decreased dramatically.

Oxygen Supplementation Is Now Recognized As Beneficial.
Many countries now offer oxygen booths, at bars and health clubs. There are places like Mexico and Japan where the pollution is so great, people frequent "Oxygen Bars" just to breathe pure oxygen.

What’s the fastest way to get oxygen into your system?
Breathe more and breathe deeper. It is free of charge. Air is purified by plants so surround yourself with plants. They clean the air and increase the beauty of your environment.

Air also contains trace minerals that are absorbed through our skin and lungs.
Through the action of the wind and sun, trace minerals in water become air-borne. When you go to the ocean or the sea, you absorb a lot of minerals directly into your skin. Your lungs take in the greatest quantity. The microscopic minerals are circulated through your body with the blood.

You also get beneficial ozone at the beach.
Ozone is three oxygen molecules combined together. Ozone is produced by a combination of wave action, solar heating, weather systems and strong winds. It is part of a built-in purification system in the oceans.
