 Always ask your naturopath or physician about which herbs or supplements may work best with your particular health circumstances. Avoid processed hospital junk food and eat fresh, healthy foods that are rich in natural plant fats, full-spectrum nutrients and trace minerals. (Buy organic.) Olive oil is excellent for easing inflammation following surgery.
Stay positive and relaxed, and let nature run its course. Remember: Your body is a self-healing system. It knows how to repair itself. All you have to do is give it the proper nutrition, relaxation and good circulation. |

 EPA and DHA are essential fatty acids that the body cannot make so we must obtain them in our diet, which is very hard to do, or by supplements," said Locke. "An imbalance of omega-6 and omega-3 can result in an overall inflammatory response and related disorders such as depression, cardiac disease, cancer, dementia, asthma and rheumatoid arthritis."
Locke concluded, "Over the next five years, we will see Omega-3 fatty acids become a foundation of health."
ADHD is a fictitious disease invented by the pharmaceutical industry to sell amphetamine drugs to children. |
| The study demonstrated that supplements reduced the participating children's Young Mania Rating Scale scores (YMRS) -- the standard rating scale for children with bipolar disorder -- by 30 percent. The same research team conducted a similar study with risperidone or olanzapine, the two most commonly prescribed drugs for the disorder. The pharmaceuticals treated the children's disorders but led to side effects including diabetes.
Other commonly prescribed drugs such as lithium, divalproex and carbamazepine are only minimally effective or fraught with adverse effects, the researchers noted. |

 Tell them you support open access to vitamins, herbs, and supplements, and you do not want CAM to be regulated by the FDA.
3. Send this story to everyone you know. Spread the word. Raise the alarm. With enough public support, the FDA will be forced to back off this insane proposal.

| If you decide to take anti-inflammatory supplements following surgery, however, remember that inflammation is not always a bad thing. In fact, inflammation is your body's way of bringing blood and nutrients to the area that needs healing. Conventional doctors tend to take the view that all inflammation is bad, but that's an outmoded, limited view of the body's adaptive response to trauma. |

| Inflammation actually serves an important healing purpose, so don't go crazy trying to eliminate it with drugs or supplements unless there is a strong medical reason for doing so (check with your doctor to determine what's right for you).
A great rainforest herbal product that eases inflammation is Recovazon offered by the Amazon Herb Company. It eases inflammation and speeds injury recovery. I've personally used it to heal from sprains and bruises earned during gymnastics and martial arts. |

 Garlic halts the growth of cancer tumors, but don't you dare say it on your web page, or the FDA will consider you a criminal and seize your garlic supplements.
If you think this is criminal behavior on the part of the FDA, you are right! The FDA is, indeed, run by unindicted criminals who are currently engaged in heinous crimes against humanity. |

 And since 1/3 of the study participants self-reported failing to take the supplements, it is almost certain that more than 1/3 actually failed to take the supplements since people always tend to over-report their compliance. So we may have a study where 50% or more of the "participants" didn't actually participate. At that level of non-compliance, you can hardly call them study "participants. |

 Adams: These would be oral supplements?
Dr. Holick: These would be, not supplements, but oral drugs.
Adams: OK, so these would be by prescription only. But they're molecularly identical to the activated vitamin D in your body?
Dr. Holick: Exactly, but would be more potent than the activated vitamin D.
Adams: Do you have a practice where people can visit you long distance? I mean, they can come visit you?
Dr. Holick: Yeah, I have a lot of people from around the globe that will make an appointment and see me. And I'm certainly happy to do that.
Adams: What city are you located in?

| The doses of supplements used were not therapeutic
This is one of the oldest tricks in the book: if you want to "prove" that supplements are useless, just run a clinical trial using very low doses. In this particular case, calcium was supplemented at 1000mg, and vitamin D and 800 IU per day. While these doses aren't ridiculously low (like we've seen in some vitamin E studies), they are nowhere near the levels that would be used therapeutically. A good compounding pharmacist might recommend double that dose of calcium, at least for a time. |

 Aged garlic supplements for cholesterol
On the supplements side, there are a lot of things you can do. You can take garlic supplements, or just eat a lot of whole garlic. One of the things I like to do is take garlic cloves and just bake them. You can eat them baked, put them in pastas or put them on a healthy pizza made with soy cheese and organic crust. Baked garlic cloves are delicious and they're outstanding for your health. They don’t have the bite of raw garlic cloves.
Garlic supplements are also good, and the best company out there is Kyolic. Buy their aged garlic supplements. |

| But if you could find another way to reduce fractures in the control group, then you could effectively make the supplements in the study group appear useless. This was accomplished by giving the control group information on improving their diet and reducing the risk of bone fractures.
So it could very well be that both groups had a reduced risk of bone fractures, but since that reduction was the same in both groups, the study declares that supplements are useless. The key here is in recognizing that the control group wasn't really a control group. |

 It erects huge barriers to the introduction of new supplements to the market by forcing manufacturers to spend millions of dollars on compliance, even for substances that have been safely consumed by humans as medicine for thousands of years.
9. It sets a legal foundation from which other nutrients can be outlawed. Each year, watch for the ratchet to be tightened as a growing list of supplements get banned.
10. It allows natural health critics to use circular logic to attack the industry. They'll say, "If these vitamins weren't dangerous, then they wouldn't have been outlawed, would they? |
| It establishes a legal precedent of control over not just supplements, but food. This sets the stage for the future banning of nutritious foods that prevent disease such as blueberries, broccoli and garlic.
6. It allows for the arrest and incrimination of key proponents of natural health (vitamin manufacturers, retailers and consumers), removing them from the public stage so that they no longer have a voice.
7. It discredits the entire nutritional supplements industry, creating fear, uncertainty and doubt (FUD) in the minds of consumers who aren't aware of the real motivations behind the law. |

 And, yes, I take vitamin E supplements as part of my everyday supplementation. If vitamin E were bad for me, it would be impossible for my blood chemistry to show these positive numbers, which have been verified by a laboratory and published online, right here on this web site, for everyone to see. Naturally, I'm taking natural vitamin E supplements and not synthetic vitamin E.

 And then she was told that when she gives birth, that she should solely breastfeed her infant, and that the infant should not receive any extra outside nutrition or supplements. And she followed the physician's advice.

Dr. Holick: By this age, the child had severe bowing of the legs, and that's severe rickets.

| D supplements are useless. Faced with this information, what should consumers do now? Take more drugs, no doubt. Drugs which, by the way, are typically only "proven" through the construction of carefully distorted, selective studies that exaggerate their benefits and minimize their risks.
To think that calcium and vitamin D don't enhance bone health is, all by itself, rather astounding. Dozens of previous (and better designed) studies have looked at this issue and have shown a clear 30% - 40% reduction in bone fractures due to wise supplementation with calcium and vitamin D. |
| It could mean that education is a very good strategy -- just as good as supplements. They could be equally effective at preventing bone fractures.
Again, not one of the mainstream press stories that reported this bothered to examine the facts on this study. I haven't found a single journalist covering this study who actually looked at the structure of the study with any degree of skepticism. |

 In addition, language contained in the Durbin amendment modifies the definition of supplement contained in 201ff of the FFDCA so that supplements will not be considered foods for the purpose of the new adulterated foods registry. This in no way would alter the time-honored conclusion of the Congress that supplements are to be considered foods. On the contrary, all it would do is exempt supplements from the registry. |

 Fish oil supplements are best taken at or near the beginning of a meal to avoid any fishy afterraste—some people burp up a little of the oil if they take it at the end of the meal on a full stomach.
Final Comments
Type 2 diabetes is a progressive disease, but it can be stopped and even reversed. That should be obvious to you. Seize the opportunity for health while you still can. Diabetes, like most diseases, is easiest to reverse in the early stages. And, like most diseases, it is easier to prevent than it is to treat. The human body is one of the most remarkable creations in the world. |
| Limit your intake of swordfish, shark, and warm-water tuna to very occasional only and all freshwater fish to no more than once a week (women of childbearing age who might get pregnant and children should avoid all of these fish these completely); and eat most of your fish baked or steamed and avoid fried, grilled, or barbecued fish.
Key supplements to Prevent Type 2 Diabetes
In this age of processed foods and fast-paced, stressful lifestyles, it can be very hard—if not actually impossible—for you to nourish your body completely through diet alone. |
| Although we encourage everyone to eat a high-fiber diet, supplements can be taken to achieve even greater effects in lowering the glycemic index. PGX? a mixture of highly soluble polysaccharide fibers based on research at the University of Toronto, is the most effective way to lower the glycemic index of foods. If taken prior to meals, PGX?curbs the appetite and slows the absorption of sugars.
Some warning is necessary if you are not used to eating a high-fiber diet. You can have too much of a good thing. |
