 I've also created a free report called "Beat the Bird Flu virus" that lists the top antiviral vitamins, minerals, nutritional supplements, medicinal herbs, amino acids and products. The report is available as a free download on www.truthpublishing.com.
So if there is an outbreak of the bird flu virus, the solution is readily available if people would just get the right information. That information should include knowledge about the antiviral properties of these medicinal herbs and supplements. But of course, the public won't ever be told that. |

 It's easy. nutritional supplements should be made available free of charge to the entire population. The government (the taxpayers, actually) should provide free vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients to the population, especially pregnant women and children, so that we can prevent birth defects and behavioral disorders early on. We would save countless dollars down the road. This is something I've supported for a long time and I will continue to promote.
But of course, nothing is free. American taxpayers would be footing the bill, but it is a wise investment. |
| Should you spend a couple of dollars a month on nutritional supplements for children and pregnant women, or should you spend $60,000 a year on each and every criminal that is created by nutritional deficiencies? Think about it.
Right now in our country, we have a system that literally gives rise to a population of emotionally imbalanced, mentally deranged criminals. And they are that way because, in part, they don't have good nutrition. They simply don't get the vitamins and minerals that their nervous systems need to fully develop and function in a healthy way.
So what's the solution here? |
| We could spend a few dollars a month on our children, and give them nutritional supplements that prevent all of this. The choice is this: spend a few dollars a month on supplementing our kids' nutrition, or let this become a full-blown problem where we have to build more prisons and spend tens of thousands of dollars every year to support them in our federal prison system. Which choice makes more sense? If you were running the country and had to decide where to spend the money, where would it make more sense? |
| If you want to get optimum health, you've got to supplement your diet through nutritional supplements, or by consuming superfoods like chlorella or spirulina, sprouts, berries and products like The Ultimate Meal or Berry Green. This is the only way you can get adequate nutrition.
As we're now realizing with this study, a huge segment of our childhood population clearly is not getting this nutrition. As a result, we are raising yet another generation of children with behavioral disorders, aggression and problems with the law. Essentially, we are raising tomorrow's criminals. |

 It's almost like you're calling for regulation of the nutritional supplements industry." That's definitely not my position. Even if there were additional regulation of the supplements industry, the FDA is the wrong body to do it. The FDA has well proven it's going to defend the financial interests of the pharmaceutical industry at all costs, it's going to discredit supplements and herbs (and especially Chinese herbs) at every opportunity and it's going to completely ignore any standards of safety for prescription drugs. |

 In fact, they are even more likely to be malnourished because they're eating less overall food and they're probably not taking nutritional supplements because they've never learned how to take care of their health.
So that’s the potential danger of a drug like Nastech's PYY Nasal Spray. What is the potential upside? Well, it's very positive. A responsible person who wants to make a lifelong change to their health habits could use this in conjunction with healthy food choice and personal responsibility. Hopefully they'll use it in combination with advice from their physician or naturopath. |

 Give up the unhealthy foods that impair nervous system function and adopt a new, healthy lifestyle with nutritional supplements, naturopathic health care, and invest in yourself.
If you think about it, when you purchase cosmetics, liposuction and these other services, you're not investing in yourself. You're investing in those surgeons or those companies that sell those cosmetics, because you have to keep using them over and over again. You might as well buy stock in Elizabeth Arden, because you're buying so much of their product. |

 Using nothing but healing foods and nutritional supplements combined with regular exercise and frequent doses of natural sunlight, I've been able to achieve a total cholesterol level of 129, with an LDL level of 67 and an HDL level of 62. If you ask any cardiologist, he or she will tell you that these are phenomenal numbers - that a person who shows this ratio of HDL to LDL cholesterol has a near-zero chance of having a heart attack or suffering from cardiovascular disease. |
| If you want to be healthy, you have to give up the standard foods available in America, such as processed and manufactured foods, and replace them with natural whole foods such as nuts and whole grains, fruits and vegetables, and then supplement your diet with nutritional supplements and superfoods. If you do that, you're going to have greatly enhanced cardiovascular health, and you're going to have normal cholesterol levels. It's basic cause and effect. This follows the laws of biochemistry: if you eat the right foods, you can't help but to have healthy cholesterol levels. |

 So, there is nothing incorrect about using the term "miraculous" to describe the healing effects of some nutritional supplements.
The question becomes: How many people are calcium deficient? That is truly the relevant question in here, because if most of the population had sufficient quantities of calcium, then the claims made by Bob Barefoot on the benefits of calcium might be considered to be exaggerated. |
| The category of nutritional supplements is definitely where you're going to find those supplemental products that enhance health rather than harming your health in the way that patent medications do. But, getting back to the question of calcium and more specifically, coral calcium, the fact is that Bob Barefoot is very much right about almost everything he says about calcium, but only for those people who are calcium deficient. |
| So, what I'm saying is that the average American must take nutritional supplements if they want to prevent chronic disease, or even meet the basic minimum requirements for nutrient intake.
If you want to exceed those requirements and actually have superior health (that is health that goes beyond just preventing disease and actually taps into the mental and physical performance potential of the human being), then you will need to supplement at very high levels. You would need to supplement with superfoods or whole food supplements. |

| Here in the United States, we can also hopefully move in the same positive direction by keeping nutrition freely available, and by making sure that DSHEA remains in place so that nutritional supplements remain legal and prescriptions are not required. Hopefully, we can get some criminal convictions for the real criminals out there: the people running these pharmaceutical companies, the decision makers at the FDA, and the people at the top of the hierarchy in American organized medicine, who are directly responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans each and every year. |

 Mike: Sure, do you also cover any nutritional supplements or herbal supplements?
Simontacchi: I do. I also cover lifestyle and stress, for example. Stress actually causes the body to miss the message to shut down the inflammation, so it just keeps it going. I talk about that, and also about supplements.
Mike: In the past few months, we've seen the FDA advisory panel make some rather precarious decisions on Vioxx, and part of the apparent reasoning of the panel was that they need to keep Vioxx and other Cox-2 inhibitors legal because people don't have alternatives. |

 And since I'm a person who always recommends that people grow their own food and eat it right out of the garden as much as they can, sea kelp is certainly going to be one of the top nutritional supplements for plants that I'm going to be covering in future articles.
New aeroponic technology
Speaking of growing your own plants at home, I'm very excited about a new upcoming product announcement that I will be covering in great detail, an aeroponic growing system. This new aeroponic growing system will be sold to consumers, allowing them to grow garden vegetables with almost no hassle. |

| First, there is a whole class of foods and food ingredients you have to avoid to protect your nervous system (ingredients that I call "metabolic disruptors"), and then there is a whole other group of nutritional supplements and herbal supplements that can enhance brain function.
Let's go through these quickly. On the things to avoid list, you certainly want to avoid hydrogenated oils. Those are described as brain poison, and they're terrible for the nervous system. |

 The only way to do that is to eat superfoods, nutritional supplements, take lots of vitamins and minerals, and avoid depleting those substances by refusing to ingest foods and beverages that actually strip your body of nutrition. Those include white flour, added sugars, soft drinks, and so on.
At the same time, you have to keep in mind what level of exercise you are subjecting yourself to. There's no doubting that physical exercise can be quite strenuous on the human body. This is especially true if you engage in strength training. |

| There are far greater benefits from physical exercise and breathing therapy and other nutritional supplements. Ginkgo's great, but don't use it alone, use it in conjunction with other nutritional elements to boost your brain function.
Now, let's move on to perhaps the most important thing you can do to boost brain function and appear younger: engage in brain exercise and avoid those activities that dumb you down. So, right off the bat here we've got to mention television. If you spend a lot of time watching television, you are dumbing down your brain. There's no question about it. |

 I'm going to learn about superfoods, nutrition, nutritional supplements. I'm going to learn about dietary habits and the avoidance of metabolic disruptors in the food supply. I'm going to learn about the reduction of chronic stress. I'm going to learn about alternative therapies like homeopathy, acupuncture, traditional Chinese medicine, chiropractic care, massage therapy..."

| If I listed the number of companies out there making nutritional supplements that have pharmaceutical companies as their investors, you would fall over in shock. But it's true; these pharmaceutical companies invest money in many of the nutritional supplement companies out there, and they put people on their board of directors. The small companies that resist that kind of influence, like Dr. Bronner's Soap and the hundreds of others I talked to and saw their products at the show, are the real heart of the natural products industry.

| They can just go out and buy Earth's Promise, which is available at just about any health food store that carries popular brands of nutritional supplements.
It comes in several different flavors. I like the elderberry and kiwi strawberry flavors, and they also have peppermint flavor. By the way, just to mention for those who don't know, this is not a solicited testimonial or an infomercial; there's no payola here. I have not been paid a dime by Earth's Promise, nor did I receive any free samples other than what everyday people got at the trade show. |

 Of course, today the FDA and the pharmaceutical industry are diligently campaigning to limit access to nutritional supplements, herbs and functional foods. This is very much an attempt to separate people from nature, so that they are forced to operate under the system of controlled and "standardized" prescription drugs and medications that generate profits for pharmaceutical companies.
The future may not be so bright after all
It's a common oversight, I think, to talk about the future in rosy terms, and talk about how all of this great, new technology is going to appear. |

| Compliance is lacking with many of the potent nutritional supplements out there, from green foods to whole food concentrates. People may try a product for a little while, but if it doesn't taste the way they want it to taste, or if it's difficult for them to swallow, their compliance is going to be very poor and they won't stick with that supplement. Then it's no good, because if you're not getting it into your body, then it's doing you no good at all. It doesn't make you healthy to buy a product and have it sit on a shelf in your home or in your pantry, obviously. |

 I did that through nutrition, physical exercise and nutritional supplements. I don't take any prescription drugs whatsoever. And, hey, I'm middle-aged as well. I'm 35 years old. So this isn’t something that only works for people who are 20. You can do this at any age, even if you're 75. It all comes down to your dietary choices, nutritional supplementation, and your level of physical exercise. |

 The same treatments that I use to restore or enhance the various natures also reverse memory loss: medication, hormones, diet and nutritional supplements, exercise, lifestyle, environment, and electrical stimulation. Each of these treatment protocols is integrally linked to the four natures, because without treating brain chemical imbalances, there is no hope for anyone to improve their memory significantly. |

 Many exceptions for the sale of "nutritional supplements" have been issued to manufacturers and importers by the German Federal Ministry of Health. Meanwhile, in' May of 2000, the EU commission issued guidelines for "nutritional supplements" [6]. The APV (Ar-beitsgemeinschaft fur Pharmazeutische Verfahrenstechnik e.V.) has also published its guidelines [23]. |

 WTS Medicines
WTS Medicines are herbal and nutritional supplements designed to dovetail with WT3 therapy. Candidates for WT3 therapy who have abnormalities on the work-up can often be prepared for WT3 therapy with WTS medicines. Many patients are able to recover their health through the use of WTS medicines alone. In our experience, we have found that WTS medicines can often extend the benefits and reduce the risks of WT3 therapy.
