In the last month I have had two patients comment on energy and CoQ10. One lady was one of my recovered breast cancer patients and the other was a patient that carries a familial risk in that area. They were both on physiological doses of CoQ10, when for various reasons they discontinued it for a period of a few months. In retrospect, they both said that they had noticeably more fatigue in that time frame, and when they restarted their CoQ10 supplementation they noticed revitalization, a very noticeable improvement in overall energy.

Research Confirms A Connection

These patient experiences are important, and in keeping with findings by the Karolinska Institute in breast cancer research. Many years ago they found that when physiological doses of CoQ10 were added to a comprehensive supplemental program for terminal breast cancer patients, an unexpected number of them went into sustained remission, and in the remainder, the cancer progression was appreciably reduced. So now let me tie the two together so it makes sense. Later we can talk about CoQ10′s role in the areas of increased energy, heart health, anti-oxidant activity, skin health, dosage, and some meds that interfere with CoQ10 production.

CoQ10, Cancer Physiology And Energy Production

Healthy cells fulfill their energy requirements via oxidative Phosphorylation, or the use of oxygen. CoQ10, as an electron donor, plays a major role in the process. When cells can’t make sufficient energy using oxygen, they switch to making energy by ‘burning’ sugar. It’s called glycolysis. If a cell makes its energy via glycolysis for a protracted period, that cell becomes confused and begins to function disharmoniously with the surrounding cells. If that continues long enough, the risk of genetic aberration and cancer increases exponentially. This was first published in the early part of the last century by Otto Warburg, M.D., Ph.D., so it isn’t new information. What is new information is the research by Professor Brian Peskin (google Brian Peskin and prepare to get excited) explaining why cells most commonly switch from oxidative energy production to the burning of sugar (glycolysis). Obviously, we want to keep our cells using oxygen, and CoQ10 helps the body do that.

President Nixon’s “War on Cancer” was lost a long time ago, which is why you don’t hear about it any more. With cancer, the obvious approach to reduced the numbers has to be prevention, and anything that reduces cells switching their energy production to glycolysis is a big step in the right direction.

How Do You Know If You Need It?

As we age we make less CoQ10. It starts to decline in our twenties, and many people are functioning at critically low levels by the time they are in their 50′s. I take a bottle of CoQ10 (100mg per pill) every year to see if I can notice an increase in energy, and I haven’t yet. The original research suggested that you should be able to tell the difference if you took a 30 mg pill of CoQ10 a day for a month, but the latest research suggests that the proper test dosage is 100mg a day. The lay literature is suggesting everyone over 30 needs to supplement with CoQ10, but I don’t support that position. I have numerous patients in their 30′s and 40′s who notice energy increases when they take 100mg of CoQ10 every day, but I also have numerous patients who are in their 50′s and 60′s who test themselves regularly and appear to not need it yet, myself included. Of course, as the body ages, needs change, so eventually we will all benefit from supplementing CoQ10, but why spend money supplementing CoQ10 if you don’t need it yet?

Let’s Not Forget CoQ10 And The Heart

Initially, CoQ10 was lauded for its role in cellular respiration, and because the heart uses more energy than other organs the thrust of research was in the cardiovascular direction with emphasis on increased energy production. Use of CoQ10 in heart disease, especially congestive heart failure, has been routine in Japan for over a decade. Most of the CoQ10 research has been done overseas, and American M.D.’s tend to overlook it because it wasn’t done here, however, that seems to be changing with time. My dearest friend, who recently passed away, couldn’t walk from a restaurant to the car without stressing his heart, but after taking CoQ10 he could walk around the block with no problems at all. For those with congestive heart failure it can be a miracle pill.

The Most Recent Findings

The latest truly important research with CoQ10 is the discovery of its neuro-protective role in Parkinson’s Disease, Huntington’s, Alzheimer’s, Freidreich’s ataxia, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Lou Gehrig’s Disease). A lesser discovery is CoQ10′s ability to protect skin from oxidative damage, and it is now found in many natural skin care products such as wrinkle defense creams and skin toners.

Impaired Production

A big problem with CoQ10 is that its production is hampered by certain medications, most notably the Statin drugs used for lowering cholesterol. It is imperative that everyone taking Statins must additionally supplement CoQ10. A number of cardiologists have written books on this subject but mainline cardiologists have been slow to respond. Birth control pills can also block the production of CoQ10, so young women taking those pills and experiencing fatigue should try supplementing with CoQ10 to see if it makes a difference.

Quality CoQ10

As more supplements are made in Asia, quality becomes a question that should be on every purchasers mind. There is no good cheap CoQ10. That’s unfortunate, but true. Preventics professional quality CoQ10, 100mg, normally sells for $66.00 for 30 capsules. We discount them to $33.00 a bottle to make them more affordable.

Bones as Warehouses

We all know minerals are important to health. In fact they are more important than vitamins. Research on stress and its relationship to disease shows that when a body is under stress, it moves minerals from its mineral warehouses (the bones) and sends them via the circulation to the areas in need.

Minerals are needed in extra abundance when stressful situations call for additional muscular and/or neurological activity, and when a lot of extra energy is required. The body is careful to store the minerals it needs in balance, which results in the maintenance of bone strength and normal bone physiology. In fact, when minerals are being re-incorporated into bone, if all the minerals previously withdrawn are not present in balance, adequate re-mineralization (repair) does not take place, and the minerals are placed in secondary storage areas.

About every ten years we discover another mineral that bones must have in order to re-mineralize, that we previously did not know about. Manganese and Silicates are the last two minerals discovered that bones must have to rebuild. It seems as if there will always be a new mineral that we discover bones need. Obviously, this can make treatment difficult… unless you know the simple, natural, answer in this newsletter.

The Osteoarthritis and Arteriosclerosis Connection

Therefore, if the research is accurate, when bones de-mineralize, they tend to do that in balance as well. The unused minerals that contribute to bone structure are hoarded by a body that considers them precious. Unable to get back into bones, because of being out of balance, these unused minerals are stored in the body’s secondary storage sites, soft lining tissue. Lining tissue is a major secondary storage site for minerals, and is supposed to be used as a temporary storage area. When minerals are stored in lining tissue for a protracted period of time, the lining tissue becomes susceptible to hardening (sclerosis). Lining tissue makes up the linings of the arteries, joints, respiratory system, digestive system, urogenital system, and skin.

For example, there isn’t a mature woman alive that hasn’t noticed that her skin is less soft than it was when she was a girl. This is the result of the hardening phenomenon we are talking about, and it takes place in all of the body’s lining tissues as it is taking place in the skin.

This phenomenon of aging, tissue mineralization, has been recognized in the medical literature on stress for a long time. The scenario occurs like this: stressful situations create a need for specific minerals, minerals are liberated from bones (in balance), the needed ones are used, and the remainder are stored in lining tissue until the minerals that were utilized are again supplied in the diet, at which time minerals are withdrawn from lining tissue and replaced in the bones, always within a range of balance. That way, bones remain strong, and able to perform their other physiological duties.

Theoretically then, Osteoporosis (bone de-mineralization), Osteoarthritis (joint mineralization), and Arteriosclerosis (vascular mineralization), although different named diseases, are all part of a common physiological process. Therefore, it follows that if the underlying common physiological process is the focus of treatment, instead of the diseases, all three diseases should get better together. That, in fact, is what happens.

Implications on Aging

If we understand that all lining tissue is compromised when mineralization/demineralization occurs improperly due to a nutritional mineral deficiency, then we have a partial explanation of how other compromised lining tissue areas contribute to the aging process. For example, vital nutrients will pass less effectively through the lining of the gut, and oxygen exchange will occur less effectively through the lungs when these areas succumb to sub-clinical mineralization, both common occurrences in the elderly; therefore, adequate mineral supplementation is critical to retard the aging process. This becomes even more important given that United States Department of Agriculture studies show the mineral content of our foods has declined by twenty to fifty percent since World War I, and the advent of Agribusiness and the demise of the small independent farmer.

Home Testing for Osteoporosis

In order to effectively treat something, it is most advantageous to have a tool to measure progress, or lack of it. Specialize X-rays called bone densitometry studies, or bone scans, are most commonly used, but of course they have the negative cumulative side effects that all x-rays have. The measuring tool I learned about that day in the library was the big toenails (great toe only). Apparently the only toenail to reflect bone imbalance is the big one, and when lining tissue is getting thicker and harder, so is this toenail. Elderly people with severe Osteoporosis have great toenails that are thick, hard and difficult to cut. Toenails can also become hard, thick and disfigured by fungal infection under the nail, which has become common in the last half century due to the overuse of antibiotics and other drugs, and it is important to differentiate between the two.

In order to confirm this information I purchased a micrometer, a tool used for measuring very small changes in thickness, and started measuring great toenail thickness on my patients. I found that the older you get, the more likely the chance of your great toenails getting thick and hard. It seems to be part of the natural aging process. With further research I learned that the thickness was due to more Calcium accumulation in the nail, and the hardness factor was due more to the build-up of Magnesium.

I also learned that under proper treatment, great toenails will most often revert back to the thickness and hardness that was characteristic of them in young adulthood. When this happens, people’s symptoms of cold hands and feet, caused by Arteriosclerosis, and joint pain, caused by Osteoarthritis, seem to miraculously improve. The best part of this measuring tool is that you don’t need a doctor to monitor your progress or subject yourself to regular bone scans (x-rays) and their accompanying cumulative side effects.

Popular Approach

I attempted many things to help my patients with this physiological condition. I tried Calcium supplementation, then Calcium and Magnesium supplementation, and on and on with little or no results. This should come as no surprise, because to this day we still do not have an accepted medical treatment that is safe and effective for Osteoporosis, Osteoarthritis, or Arteriosclerosis.

The initial approach was to supplement with Calcium. Most women who participated in this form of therapy began to experience symptoms of Calcium/Magnesium imbalance within four to ten years. The first symptom was usually foot and leg cramps, followed in a year or two by rapid heart beat, and eventually myocardial infarction (heart attack). Magnesium was eventually added to the approach and the deadly side effects were almost completely eliminated. Calcium and Magnesium are usually found balanced in nature, and supplementing in this manner solved the side effect problem; however, decades of testing have shown that this approach has produced virtually no results in stopping or reversing Osteoporosis. That’s because bones aren’t made of Calcium and Magnesium. Although Calcium and Magnesium are important, all the minerals need to be present… and bones are made of many different minerals.

The pharmaceutical industry then discovered the Biphoshphonates. Fosamax was the first, followed by Actonel, Didronel, Boniva, and Reclast. As usual, these drugs were heralded as a great breakthrough in the battle against Osteoporosis. This is an area of serious concern for any woman needing to make a decision about future drug therapy, and as a result I have written a separate newsletter article — Are Biphosphonate Medications (Fosamax, Actonel, Didronel, Bonive, and Reclast) Really Helping Or Hurting Our Elderly?. The side effects from these drugs are frightening, and downplayed by the medical/pharmaceutical industrial complex that promotes them. It is in your best interest to know this information before using these medications.

What Works

In my search for an effective treatment, mineral balance was the key. I found that the perfect product existed that contained all the minerals bones need, and in perfect balance. This product even contains the minerals that science has yet to discover are necessary for proper bone re-mineralization. This incredible product is Glandular bone. This bone supplement comes from the bones of Argentinian calves specifically raised for the harvest of their tissues for the production of Glandular supplements. The tissue is then processed at body temperature (low heat) to keep it functionally intact. Recently, a sub-fraction of Glandular bone has become popular as Microcrystaline Hydroxyappetite. Preventics sells the original complete Glandular form as Bone 350 Plus, and Preventics price is half the normal retail price.

It usually takes between a year and a year and a half for a noticeable difference to be seen in the great toenails because they grow so slowly. Standard Bone Scan examinations correlate well with the changes in great toenail thickness.

How to Supplement

If you have been diagnosed with any of the above diseases, double the recommended amount of Bone 350 Plus on the Preventics Basic Self Help Vitamin Program. If that dosage is not sufficient to produce the desired results, call the Health Help Hotline for individual help. I answer this line, 800-888-4866 or 816-753-4866, on Tues., Wed., and Thurs. mornings between 10 and 12, Central time. It’s a free call.

In pre-med, everyone ate in the cafeteria, and the food was similar to what is served in most University cafeterias today, mostly junk. The classes prepared me to memorize enormous amounts of scientific information in preparation for my future as a physician, but certainly not to think for myself. I suppose it was assumed that students were supposed to learn how to think in High School, before arriving at colleges’ doorstep. In retrospect, that concept is laughable.

In Chiropractic College we breezed through the physiology of digestion and utilization. Diet and intelligent nutritional practices were hardly discussed. Students and instructors ate poorly, although overweight seemed to be the domain of the professors. I obtained my Master of Science in Nutrition after attending Chiropractic College, and although we spent a lot of time discussing and studying nutrient actions and associated biochemistry, not much was made of relationship between the modern diet and the prevalence of modern diseases. Of course, the Masters program was supported by businesses like Kellogg’s and Monsanto, and you don’t bite the hand that feeds you.

Fortunately, I had an advantage. I had two mentors who guided me through the maze of mis-education. One was Doctor Nickolas Knutz, who in addition to his chiropractic practice attained the rank of General Officer in the army reserves. As a doctor he was interested in everything about a patient’s lifestyle that might contribute to a complaint, and he was an exceptional student of history, both military history and the taking of a patient history. He taught me to question everything.

My second mentor, C. H. Morgan, M.D., D.O., Ph.D., Ph.D., D.D.S., was the only man I ever knew with complete recall. He had committed to memory three successive versions of Gray’s Anatomy and taught gross anatomy at Cleveland Chiropractic College. Dr. Morgan instructed me to memorize enough pathology to get through my Boards, but learn as much physiology as possible, because that would determine my success as a physician. Disease, he would say, was nothing more than physiology gone wrong. He insisted that if a doctor could figure out the physiology behind an illness he stood a good chance to either correct or change the course of the illness. He emphasized that under most circumstances, given what it needs, the body would heal.

Both my mentors were very interested in the ‘diet/disease connection,’ and that is what has driven me in my practice these forty two years.

What amazes me is that it was evident even back in the sixties that most chronic disease was caused by changes in the general diet caused by food processing and chemical farming. Each decade there are hundreds of books and scientific publications describing the disintegration of public health due to the adulteration of the food supply. Doctors, who have studied physiology, don’t seem to have the time to do much more than treat symptoms with the standard and customary approach.

Dietitians/nutritionists don’t have sufficient physiology in their education, and are taught to ‘puppet’ the misinformation of the moment. An excellent example of that would be the disastrous but highly recommended Low Fat Diet that has been making us sicker and sicker over the last thirty five plus years.

It simply does not take a genius to understand that if we do not supply our physiology with genuine replacement parts (adequate protein and fat, and the essential vitamins and minerals) our machinery will falter. A good example of that is after the First World War, according to medical records of the time, about 3% of the population died from cardiovascular disease. Cardiovascular disease and cancer have been around forever, but only in the last century have they become the number one and two killers. Every decade they gain in their numbers and the reason is relatively simple.

Food processing and chemical farming have removed sufficient genuine replacement parts from our foods that they no longer are able to produce health. Agribusiness is killing us!

Consider that your body replaces itself approximately every two years. Some organs like the intestines are quicker and replace themselves about every two weeks, some slower like the brain replaces itself about every two years. If genuine replacement parts are unavailable, replacement takes place anyway, with the result being something less than what was there before. Because the body has amazing organ reserve, it often takes numerous two year cycles before the results of insufficient genuine replacement parts demonstrates itself as chronic degenerative disease.

We had healthy soil before the First World War, and foods had a short shelf life, were local, fresh, and life giving. The advent of chemical fertilization and food processing changed all that, robbing us of the genuine replacement parts we need to have healthy lives.

The experts have failed us. They have ignored science and overwhelmed us with opinion over and over again. The businesses involved have become so rich and powerful that they now control the government agencies that were established to protect you and me, the public, from their dangerous stream of misinformation. They have in fact educated us through mass advertising that what is bad for us is good for us, and our poor health is the result.

A good rule of thumb might be, if you see it advertized on TV, don’t eat it.

If what we are eating is healthy, why are most of us sick? Why are most of us fat? Why are most of us on numerous medications? Let’s get back to basics. It doesn’t cost more to buy local and organic, it pays. You can use the Referral Network Section at www.askdoctordavid.com to get information on local farmers markets and organic producers.

The first rule of sensible eating: Eat foods that are indigenous to the area in which you live, in the seasons when they are available. This is how we ate for the thousands of years before big agribusiness and the food manufacturers began to make us sick.

Peskin caused many in the alternative medical community to rethink their position on cancer treatment, and especially prevention, with the aforementioned book. The work he did on Omega 6/Omega 3 ratios I thought was groundbreaking, and I suggest this book to anyone with a family history of cancer.

His latest research, with David Sim, M.D., and interventional cardiologist, demonstrates that the Omega 6/Omega 3 balance in the Yes parent essential oil supplement is also amazingly beneficial for cardiovascular health. The cardiovascular health of the subjects in the study improved significantly over the course of ninety months. In fact, the overall mean age of the subjects’ arteries, as determined by flexibility, was 8.82 years less than chronological (actual) age. I’m excited about the prospect of my arteries getting younger as I get older.

The Yes supplement is one of the most expensive that I carry, but I take it myself and consider it the best on the market. It is the only product available that has Peskin’s seal of approval. You will find it under Preventics on the website, Ask Doctor David, listed under Essential Oils & Fatty Acids as Parent Essential Fatty Acids.

Since then I have had 39 chelation treatments. I also paid to have a CTA scan of my heart which revealed only one occlusion of a branch artery of the LAD. My main arteries were okay. I believe Dr. Doom at the hospital was just trying to scare me into a procedure to make him a few bucks and lessen the quality of my life, just like Dr. Sherry Rogers warned.

Another health concern I’ve had the last 30 plus years is chronic heartburn and acid reflux. I tried to control it with antacids of all kind: Tums, Rolaids, Alka Seltzer, baking soda. When Zantac became an over the counter drug, I was all over it. It turns out that all those antacids did for me was give me leaky gut syndrome. They also ruined my stomach lining. My girlfriend, Elizabeth, had been telling me all along to stop taking antacids, but I didn’t listen. I didn’t know what to do until a friend gave me a brochure about a doctor that treated people with leaky gut and allergies by using a treatment called NAET. Elizabeth and I made an appointment to see Dr. David Beaulieu. That was October, 2008.

At that time, I was still experiencing frequent intermittent chest pains, Angina. Dr. David performed a muscle resistance test (MRT) to determine what foods, chemicals or other things I might be sensitive to. It turns out it was a lot of things. I started NAET treatments right away. After a few months of doing NAET I was still having problems with my digestion and frequent Angina. I was consistently having diarrhea soon after eating meals and Angina after exertion. Dr. David and his nurse, Betsy, were concerned that I was not responding to the NAET treatments like I should. I was given a more extensive MRT by Dr. David and it was determined that I had mercury poisoning in my heart. I needed to get my amalgam fillings removed immediately as they were interfering with my recovery.

I had the fillings removed by March, 2009. When I started NAET treatments again things started getting better. Dr. David has shown Elizabeth and me how to do MRT on ourselves. I’ve discovered that I have a lot of different allergies/sensitivities. I am sensitive to different combinations like certain carbohydrates with proteins, my laptop only when I attach headphones, and certain vitamins and supplements cause a reaction when taken together. I also had a reaction to toothpicks, and paper towels. I can eat corn chips and salsa and beer if I drink only certain types of beer.

My heart symptoms and digestive symptoms have improved tremendously but they still occur occasionally, associated with various allergies/sensitivities. We find the culprit, NAET fixes it, and the heart pattern is better until the next culprit shows up. As it turns out, the heart problem was mostly due to mercury toxicity and allergies. I’m certainly glad I didn’t agree to bypass surgery or any other invasive procedure. I have learned a lot about my body and health thanks to Dr. David. I am now taking the vitamins, enzymes and other supplements I need plus eating a more healthful diet.

I don’t know if I will ever fully recover from my health problems because some of the damage is probably permanent, but I know I have a much better chance doing so this way as opposed to conventional medicine. I’m doing just fine without hardware in my arteries and life threatening drugs in my system.

The Omega 3s

These products are the stars of the media circus around the essential fatty acids (EFAs). It seems like everyone is selling a superior fish oil these days. Although these EFAs are especially important in growing children for healthy brain development through the formative years, they are much less important in the adult. If we keep in mind that the brain is 60% fat by weight, having adequate EFAs for brain development is obvious. In infants and children, the brain is in a state of rapid growth and development, whereas in adults, the need for these Omega 3 EFAs decreases enormously. Although all our organs and tissues need the Omega 3 EFAs, compared to the requirements for brain healing and development, the need is small.

The Omega 6s

These EFAs are the real unheralded heros, but they are in such abundance in the diet that they get short shrift in the literature. Unfortunately for us, our FDA has allowed food manufacturers to process these Omega 6 EFAs to eliminate spoilage and increase shelf life. Many manufactured foods that contain processed EFAs can sit on a shelf for years without spoiling: the Twinky is a good example. The Omega 6 family of EFAs are the most abundant in our diet, and now we know that they are also the most important. It’s the adulteration/processing of these Omega 6 EFAs that plays such a huge role in cancer.

The Ratios Tell The Story

What really matters is the ratio of Omega 6 to Omega 3, not only in the brain and nervous system, but in all of the body organs and tissues. In the brain and nervous system, the ratio of Omega 6 to Omega 3 EFAs is one to one. In every other organ and tissue, the Omega 6′s are much more important. In muscle, which makes up about half of our adult solid weight, the necessary healthy ratio is between seven and eight to one, Omega 6 to Omega 3. In lining tissue, that would be skin, sinuses, lungs, stomach, small & large intestines, urogenital system, joints and the lining of the blood vessels, etc., the ratio is one thousand to one, Omega 6 to Omega 3. That’s correct, one thousand to one, Omega 6 to Omega 3.

Where’s The Fat?

Of course we know that fat can be found in adipose tissue, but that’s storage fat, and when was the last time you heard of a cancer in adipose tissue? Exactly! So where are the rest of these EFAs found, and what’s their job?

The cell membrane surrounds the cell and then convolutes about throughout the cell contributing to its shape and size. This cell membrane structure is made up of an outer coating of protein, a middle layer of EFAs, and an inner layer of protein. That’s kind of like a sandwich with fat in the middle and protein on the outside. Fat also plays many other important roles, but for this discussion, the EFAs that make up the middle layer of the cell wall structure are the ones of interest.

These middle layer EFAs are the cells oxygen magnets. Otto Warburg, M.D., Ph.D., researched, discovered and published his findings regarding a major underlying cause of cancer as far back as the 1950s. This work is popular in Germany where he practiced and did his research, but is just coming to the attention of the establishment in this country. Warburg demonstrated unequivocally that lining tissue cells deprived of oxygen eventually begin to create their energy by combusting more sugar than oxygen, by the process of glycolysis. In time, this leads to a cancer cell. Although this sugar-cancer connection was established over half a century ago, most oncologists are still unaware of this research. Simply put, cancer lives on sugar.

Oxygen in the lungs is drawn through the lining of the lungs, the lining of the tiny capillaries in the lungs, and into the hemoglobin molecule within the red blood cell (RBC). It’s safe to say that this hemoglobin molecule has a very powerful attraction for oxygen. When that RBC reaches the lining tissue and again is squeezing through a narrow capillary, something must have a greater attraction for that oxygen molecule than hemoglobin to pull the oxygen from the RBC and into the lining tissue cell. The something that has this tremendous attraction for oxygen is fat. The EFAs that make up the middle layer of the cell wall structure are what pull the oxygen from the RBC, and in this case we’re talking about the Omega 6 EFAs, mostly the parent oil, Linoleic Acid.

The Crux Of The Problem

Once food is processed to keep its shelf life, the fat has been changed into a different form that no longer has an attraction for oxygen. One of the processes, and the most utilized until recently, was the hydrogenation of fat, converting healthy fat into trans fatty acids that have no oxygen attracting ability. Now that the consumer is becoming aware of the damage done by trans fatty acids causing cancer and heart disease, the big food processors have devised other means to preserve shelf life. Unfortunately, anything that interferes with the oxygen attracting ability of fat will be just as dangerous as trans fatty acids/hydrogenated fats.

How Big Is The Problem?

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), eighty-five percent (85%) of the cancer found in the industrialized world is lining tissue cancer, or Adenocarcinoma. They make up the bulk of the breast, prostate, lung, sinus, mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine and colon cancers, as well as most cancers of the urogenital system. Before World War II, when consumers ate mostly fresh foods and few processed foods, cancer was a much smaller problem. In fact, before the Second World War, relatively few people died of cancer. By 1971, the government declared a war on cancer, and now cancer has surpassed heart disease as the number one killer in the USA. Obviously, medical science isn’t winning this war, so if we want to protect our families, we will have to take action for ourselves.

What’s The Solution?

Well, there isn’t just one solution to reducing cancer risk, but a big contributor is reducing the processed fat we get in our diets. Given time and a good supplemental dosage of the parent essential oils the body will replace the damaged fat that has been incorporated into our lining tissue cell walls with healthy Omega 6 EFAs that have oxygen attracting capacity. This can take many months but is worth the effort. This is, very possibly, the biggest nutritional breakthrough since I started studying and practicing nutrition over forty years ago.

What’s The Test?

Obviously, we need a test to let us know we have accomplished our goal. Most medical tests are expensive, this one isn’t. Just pay attention to your poop. That’s right, if your stools float, it means a little bit of fat is getting through your gut and therefore not being absorbed. I usually suggest starting at four YES parent essential oil capsules a day for three months. If your stools haven’t begun to float, you increase the dosage to five capsules per day for another month. If they still don’t float you increase the dosage to six capsules per day for another month, etc. Once you get floating stools, you stay at that dosage for a month before cutting the dosage back by one capsule per day for a month. If after a month, your stools are still floating you cut back another capsule per day for another month. If your stools start sinking again, you simply add back one YES parent essential oil capsule until you once again have floaters. This way each person is adjusting his/her dosage to individual need.

Who’s Responsible?

Most of this work is the result of impeccable research by Professor Brian Peskin. Brian Peskin can be Googled. His books are the talk of the alternative/complimentary medical community and can be comprehended by most people with a solid high school education.

Availability

YES parent essential oils are available through Preventics and can be found on our price list, the order order blank and on the online order form – listed as Parent Essential Fatty Acids under Essential Oils & Fatty Acids. This product is still patent protected, so unfortunately Preventics is unable to have it made at a considerable discount. The YES parent essential oil supplement supplies 120 capsules (725 mg each), for $49.95. Hopefully, in time, our purchases will become large enough to get a significant discount from the manufacturer, which we will then be able to pass on to you.

The biggest push for soy consumption comes in regard to its reputed ability to protect against various cancers, breast cancer among them. However, there is no evidence that unfermented soy offers any protection whatsoever, and in fact, the facts point in just the opposite direction. Scientific studies very specifically show that unfermented soy increases cancer risk. In fact, unfermented soy is also linked to heart disease, reproductive disorders, digestive problems, malnutrition, thyroid dysfunction and cognitive decline. Soy is particularly damaging when used in infant formulas.

The powerful companies behind soy have bought and paid for our congressmen with their lobbying dollars and have managed to get some of their employee’s promoted into top positions with the FDA. That is how they have managed to keep the research that is negative to soy from the public, which is exactly how they did it with Aspartame, the artificial sweetener that’s more dangerous than sugar.

When you age, you generally decrease your physical activity and metabolism. Unless caloric intake is also decreased, the end result is obesity, which in itself increases the risk to cancer, cardiovascular disease, arthritis, diabetes, etc. With reduced caloric intake, supplementation is vital in order for you to get adequate amounts of vitamins and minerals with the decreased amount of food. This becomes even more important when, according to the latest scientific literature, you can’t get the recommended daily amounts (RDAs) of many essential nutrients at normal caloric intake levels.

To address these problems, I have established a basic vitamin and mineral supplemental program that I feel offers optimal support for various age groups based on what is known about decreased metabolism and increased micro-nutrient needs. Some people with increased vitamin and mineral needs brought about by chronic illness require additional amounts of very specific nutrients added to this basic program. However, people of average health do very well on a good basic supplemental program, with emphasis on anti-oxidants (anti-aging vitamins) like Vitamin C and Vitamin E, such as that found in the Basic Self-Help Supplement Program chart.

The scientific literature is emphasizing that as we get older, we need continually increasing amounts of virtually all of the essential micronutrients. This area of research is now called anti-aging medicine. It is getting a lot of attention because so much can be done inexpensively to produce remarkable results, and you the public, are demanding it.

Every person, all the events of your life are there because you have drawn them there. What you choose to do with them is up to you.
