| Mike: And the LEF was only guilty of selling nutritional supplements that help people heal.
John: They were guilty of selling very high-quality dietary supplements; some of the best on the market and some of the most innovative. They were guilty of providing people with truthful information about these wonderful, life-giving substances. I was happy to help them, because my own life was saved through a suppressed alternative treatment mode, orthomolecular medicine. |

 By working with a team of top nutritionists, he has already improved his diet by eliminating foods and beverages that promote diabetes (like sodas, sugary cookies and white bread) while focusing on eating the foods that prevent diabetes and regulate healthy blood sugar metabolism: fresh produce, raw nuts, whole grains, healthy plant-based fats and targeted nutritional supplements that boost insulin sensitivity. (See part one of this story.)
This week, Santa is focusing on boosting his exercise to accelerate his progress. |
| Frequent cardiovascular exercise is absolutely essential for reversing type-2 diabetes," said Mike Adams, also known as, the Health Ranger, who overcame his own prediabetic condition through the use of exercise, dietary improvements and nutritional supplements. "Exercise boosts insulin sensitivity, making the insulin produced by your pancreas more effective and reversing the downward spiral of insulin insensitivity commonly experienced by diabetics who fail to exercise."
Although Santa is hitting the treadmill twice daily, rapid weight loss is not the immediate goal. |

 Departing from the typical plastic bottles used for most nutritional supplements, the Liquizon line of products is packaged in eco-friendly recycled paper boxes that are both stylish and convenient. Inside, ten individual envelopes each contain three capsules, making thirty capsules total per box. The Amazon Herb Company has been working on the new liquid encapsulating technology and product packaging for well over a year.
NewsTarget has no financial relationships with the Amazon Herb Company, and none of our writers are distributors for the organization. |

 REPPED: I am an outspoken critic of hoodia gordonii scams and con artists, but a supporter of honest nutritional supplements and herbal medicine in general. I've followed this story for almost two years now, and was the first to reveal the "Pure Hoodia" scam. As a consumer health advocate, I speak out on anything that I see as ripping people off, whether it's drug companies, disease mongering psychiatrists, or counterfeit diet pills. |

 The FDA's position now comes down to simply this: Everyone needs to be protected from herbs and nutritional supplements, but no one needs to be protected from prescription drugs.
And this now completes the full reversal of the FDA. The agency now has both feet squarely in Bizarro world.
In doing this, I wonder if the FDA realizes it has made itself irrelevant. If the agency is now merely going to pass through drug safety decisions to doctors and patients, then why do we need the FDA at all? The agency is no longer a gatekeeper. |

 Primarily, there's an utter lack of nutrition, both in our national food supply and in our avoidance of sunlight and nutritional supplements. Secondly, the American people's minds and bodies are being poisoned by prescription drugs, food additives, metabolic disruptors, artificial light, toxic chemicals in personal care products, household cleaners, and so on.
We have a degenerate society here right now, and actually, if you're the king of this society, it's kind of handy to have a bunch of people who don't think too much. |

 However, that doesn't mean I'm not willing to stand up and point out a company in the nutritional supplements industry that is ripping off customers. I'm not going to stand by idly or just walk away from an issue like that if I become aware of it, and I'm convinced the hoodia company I've covered before is not only ripping people off, but may possibly be harming folks, because who knows what's really in those capsules that are being sold to customers? I don't know what was in the capsules I received. |

 They say that you are wasting your money if you take vitamins or nutritional supplements. They say forget about eating raw foods and fresh plants. "That is not proven," they say. They say that the healing value of human touch has no scientific proof whatsoever. Just stick with the pharmaceuticals, they say. But why would they say these things?
Organized medicine won't make any money if you choose methods other than drugs to treat your disease or enhance your health. Every patient that gets healthy is another lost customer to organized medicine. |
| Or, at the very least, we can say that the consumption of prescription drugs is strongly correlated with states of disease, while the consumption of health food store products (natural groceries, organic produce and nutritional supplements) is strongly correlated with the absence of disease. And this observation holds true through many levels: physical health, emotional health, mental health and spiritual health.
Speaking of experiments, we have a grand experiment going on right now across the population. |

| Supporting the immune system involves a health-promoting lifestyle, stress management, exercise, diet, and the appropriate use of nutritional supplements and herbal medicines.
Signs and Symptoms
If you answer "yes" to any of the following questions, it is a sign that your immune system may need support:
Do you catch colds easily? Do you get more than two colds a year? Are you suffering from any chronic infection?
Do you get frequent cold sores or have recurrent genital herpes?
Are your lymph glands sore and swollen at times?
Do you have now or have you ever had cancer? |

 Mike: You always hear in the press about some new study showing that, "These herbs, or these nutritional supplements, are interfering with the drugs." Isn't it the drugs that are interfering with the herbs?
Barron: You're absolutely right. The key thing is what they're saying. It's not that they are interfering, but they say they are dangerous. It's amplifying the side effect of the drug. The real question is, is it St. John's wort that is dangerous or is it the drug?
There are times that drugs are needed, and there are times that doctors are needed. I am not naïve in this regard. |

 So eat lots of blueberries, superfoods and nutritional supplements. Get the garbage out of your diet (refined sugars, refined grains, fried foods, etc.) and you'll be able to experience the health benefits of sensible UV light exposure.
Vitamin D works better than prescription drugs
Did you know that most prescription drugs don't even work on most people? This was admitted by one of the top executives of a leading drug company. He said that most drugs simply don't work on most people and he gave actual numbers, such as Alzheimer's drugs only working on about a third of patients. |

 For example, you can tell people how good these healthy oils are for them, and you can name superfoods, berries, nutritional supplements and nuts and seeds, and people can intellectually understand this information, but when it comes time to decide what to actually do -- when it comes time to translate that model into action -- there's a great disconnect. People tend to go with the action that feels most comfortable to them. In the case of foods and beverages, it comes down to their habitual foods. Let's face it, a sugar donut is pretty tasty to most people. |

 It's not about selling products (we sell no nutritional supplements or health products whatsoever), and it's not about promoting any commercial interests (we have no affiliations with any companies, and our reporting is 100 percent independent).
It's about telling the truth on topics that matter like health and wellness, renewable energy, drug companies and the continued pollution of our air, water and oceans by irresponsible corporations.
It's about sharing information that people can put to use in their own lives to improve their lives. |

| I am a strong advocate of plant-based nutrition and various nutritional supplements. Nature is not the problem here; the con artists are the problem. They're selling so-called "hoodia diet pills" that actually contain no detectable levels of hoodia whatsoever, and that conclusion is based on High Performance Thin-Layer Chomatography (HPTLC) testing, digital microscopy and other lab tests.
Based on my conversation with Alkemist Pharmaceuticals, the top hoodia testing lab in the U.S. |

 They take out your gallbladder and fail to warn you to take nutritional supplements to compensate for the loss your body has sustained.
Society has been distorted by the food industry, which is why artificial foods are "normal" and vegetables are "extreme"
We have a very strange culture in America today. People think that processed, manufactured, artificial foods -- the foods with cancer-causing chemicals -- are completely normal. Yet, at the same time, they think that foods from nature, for which your body has a built-in blueprint of compatibility, are completely abnormal. |

 The FDA not only routinely approves and defends dangerous prescription drugs (much to the delight of drug companies), it also goes out of its way to discredit and outlaw nutritional supplements, herbal medicine and anything tied to alternative medicine (also much to the delight of drug companies). Rather than regulating Big Pharma, the FDA has now become its greatest promoter.
The FDA's power is based on censorship and intimidation, not education and empowerment. On numerous occasions, the agency has attempted to censor and / or intimidate its own scientists, including Dr. |

 Some people collect lift tickets, I collect nutritional supplements.
Continuing with the product recommendations, I'm a huge fan of Recovazon, a product I consider to be a miracle healing medicine. I've used it to speed recovery after sports injuries and heavy training sessions. I also use it any time I feel I'm fighting a cold or flu. The taste is wicked at first, but this is no candy-flavored junk medicine. This is real medicine provided by nature, right from the Amazon. If it tastes like roots, vines and sap, that's because that's what's in it! |

 In terms of nutritional supplements, the best "cleaning" supplements that can reduce your body odor are chlorella and parsley. The culinary spice cilantro also does a great job. Chlorophyll works wonders for cleaning your blood of toxins. But none of these can completely counteract the metabolic byproducts of consuming animal products.
I've even found that whey protein, including the clean, organic whey proteins, still result in "dirty" metabolic processes that produce odor. Brown rice protein, however, is clean. (I recommend the Nutribiotic brand. |

| But with herbs and nutritional supplements, no such decision is extended to patients. The FDA merely bans whatever natural substances it wishes, usually based on reports of very small numbers of people being harmed be extremely rare overdoses (such as with ephedra). In those cases, the FDA proudly proclaims it is, "Protecting everyone from a dangerous herb!"
In other words, the FDA now sees its job as protecting the public from "dangerous" herbs while shirking safety responsibilities on truly dangerous prescription drugs. |

 To survive most viral infections, all you really need are certain nutritional supplements and powerful medicinal herbs. As Dr. Russell Blaylock explains, "With nutritional supplementation, the elderly can avoid flu vaccination altogether. In my own clinical experience, supplementation dramatically reduces the incidence of ALL viral infection. And should that person become infected with a particularly virulent strain, the severity of the illness is dramatically reduced. This protection also includes such diseases as smallpox and anthrax. |

 Therefore, fish oils, with their ability to enhance glucose utilization, are one of the many unique nutritional supplements that can have a significant impact on returning natural and normal energy balance to a person who is otherwise stuck in an extremely bad rut.

 In fact, they're distortions that seem to be designed to discredit all nutritional supplements. True health comes from eating whole foods, superfoods and foods with high nutrient density, including foods with plenty of vitamin E. It also comes from taking nutritional supplements in their natural food forms, not as synthetic chemicals. |

 Senior, a veteran FDA expert on the subject, put it recently, "People are taking more and more drugs, both under prescription and by personal choice of OTC remedies, in addition to dietary or nutritional supplements . . . Perhaps as a consequence, drug-induced liver injury has become the leading cause for removal of approved drugs from the market, and for acute liver failure in patients evaluated at liver transplant centers in the United States."
Neil Kaplowitz, the coeditor of the most recent, comprehensive medical textbook, Drug-Induced Liver Disease, has even more fun news. |

| Go to a clinic that uses no drugs and surgery, and you can be treated with homeopathics, herbs, nutritional supplements, DMSO, hydrogen peroxide, and things of this nature that have been found to be very effective at treating Lyme.
