The opinions
of the experts are constantly changing. The correct treatment this
year is often the wrong treatment next year. When choosing an approach,
treatment, or therapy, try to pick the one that poses the smallest
risk of harm. When your done mulling it over in your mind, listen
to your heart before making your decision, because “woman’s
intuition” is invaluable. Always remember, doctors cause more
deaths every year than traffic accidents, so choose carefully.

Article #1
Atrium Issues First Major Vitamin Price Increase
In Ten Years I was surprised when I received the new price increases from the pharmaceutical company that manufactures for me under my private label. Some of our prices virtually doubled and my first reaction wasn’t good. After a trip to the local Health Food Store for a price comparison I was pleased to find that the new pricing was still competitive with most of the cheaper and poorer quality products available, and still considerably less expensive than the better quality products posted retail prices. I think the pharmaceutical company should have been incrementally raising prices over the last ten years (many products have held price for over fifteen years) as most other similar businesses have. Unfortunately, with the increased cost of many basic nutrients over the last two years, and the tremendous increase in the cost of plastic bottles since the beginning of the Iraq war, the disparity became all too clear and these major price changes followed. I know this is going to affect both patients and
customers who are on a fixed income, and I apologize. If you do
the research as I have, I know you will find that the products are
still priced competitively, and of course, still of the highest
quality. |

ADHD (Attention Deficit/Hyperactive Disorder) Drugs Linked To Child Psychosis Page A2 in the K.C. Star on March 22nd, the preceding headline caught my eye. An advisory panel is about to recommend that the FDA put stricter labels on Ritalin and its generic forms, because they cause psychotic hallucination in some children at what is considered normal dosage levels. Review of 90 studies and numerous reports from physicians and parents have led to these frightening conclusions. Cardiovascular issues such as heart attack, stroke, and hypertension were also considered to be a problematical side effect of this drug. I think it’s sad that it took decades to accumulate this data, that should have been obvious long ago. It’s another example of how the FDA is more concerned with protecting Big Pharma than protecting our children. Does it make sense to drug ADHD children when most of the underlying cause of this condition in the majority of cases is allergy/sensitivity? Ritalin and its generic form are selling billions of dollars worth of these drugs annually, and the drugs only address a symptom of a physiological mis-reaction (allergy/sensitivity) to the child’s environment. NAET, combined with supportive nutritional therapy is a much better choice. ADHD is on the mild end of what are termed the Autistic Spectrum Disorders, with frank Autism on the more serious end of that spectrum. A major study is proceeding from the NAET research foundation because of the results of a preliminary study. This preliminary study was started in October of 2004 and ended in November of 2005. The treatment group was comprised of 30 non-verbalizing, non communicative autistic children, and another 30 in a control group. Children in the treatment group received 50 NAET treatments in 12 months and the treatment they were receiving before NAET began. Children in the control group continued receiving the treatments they were receiving prior to the start of the study. At the end of the 12 months, all 30 in the NAET group had made significant improvement in verbal and non verbal communication skills. Twenty three had begun attending regular schools and their autism labels had been removed. There were no significant changes in the control g roup. With these kinds of results possible from a non invasive, painless, and side effect free treatment, NAET, why would we want to put a child on a dangerous drug? |

Article #3 Have I Told You About Diet Soda? The artificial sugar used in diet soda is aspartame. Aspartame converts to 11% methanol, or wood alcohol. I recently had a patient who consumed 6 cans of diet coke a day. That amounts to over 120mg of methanol which his body quickly turns to formaldehyde, which is 18 times the 1999 EPA safety limit for formaldehyde in drinking water. Formaldehyde is what causes a “hangover.” Research has shown that formaldehyde causes cancer. Additionally, it interferes with fertility and pregnancy, causing spontaneous abortion and birth defects. As a potent neurotoxin it causes irritability, restlessness, insomnia, poor memory, vertigo, seizures, and addiction. Most heavy diet pop drinkers notice remarkable improvement within two or three weeks of switching to a healthier beverage, although some go through a withdrawal. A decade of research also demonstrates that diet soda doesn’t help weight loss, but actually promotes weight gain… so what’s the point? |

Article #4 Israeli Health Ministry Issues Soy Warning I just found this information that was released last August, where “the Israeli Health Ministry strongly recommended that consumption of soy foods be limited for young children and adults and that soy formula be avoided altogether by infants.” A 13 member committee of nutritionists, oncologists, pediatricians, and other specialists spent more than a year examining the evidence before arriving at their recommendations. Although the British Dietetic Association and the United Kingdom’s Chief Medical Officer, as well as the New Zealand Health Ministry have issued warnings regarding the side effects of soy, no country has come close to telling its citizens that the possible benefits of soy are far outweighed by proven risks. Remember, you heard about the dangers of soy here first. Don’t keep this news to yourself. |

Improving Circulation Do you want to reduce your risk to a heart attack? Improve your circulation. Heart muscles quit when they are deprived of life giving circulation by restricted blood vessels and clots. Do you want to reduce your risk to cancer? Improve your circulation. One of the interesting things about cancers is that they prefer an oxygen free environment, and even produce their energy in the absence of oxygen, and it’s the circulation that brings the oxygen. Do you want to reduce the risks to the most debilitating effects of blood sugar disease, from insulin resistance (hypoglycemia) to diabetes? Improve your circulation. The most debilitating effects of blood sugar disease, both early and late stage, come about because of reduced circulation. Do you want to reduce the risk of dementia? Improve your circulation. I think you’re getting the idea. Probably the most important thing you can do to improve your circulation is an intelligently designed and guided exercise program. Additionally, there are substances like DMG and enzyme therapy which I will cover in future newsletters. For this article I’d like to share some information with you about an herbal product that eastern healers have recommended for centuries, Ginkgo Biloba. This is a time when our environment has been badly abused and toxic. It is a time of increased senility among our ever increasing elderly population, and a time of a frightening epidemic called Alzheimer’s dementia. Anything that helps, is inexpensive, and that is practically free of side effects is worth knowing about. The major uses of Ginkgo have been thoroughly subjected to scientific scrutiny. It has been shown in numerous studies to restore health in the following areas:
Many studies have been performed to determine the nature of any side effects that Ginkgo may have. The results have been excellent. It appears that about one half of one percent of the people who try Ginkgo experience mild stomach upset which subsides when the herb is discontinued. Treatment Protocol |
