 Such evidence is further supported by evaluation of the results of 59 industry or industry-sponsored trials recently reported in two supplements of the Journal of Dairy Science (Volume 70, Supplement 1, 1987, and Volume 71, Supplement 1, 1988). Reproductive data were cited in six of these 59 trials—only two of which involved second lactations—all of which uniformly demonstrated significant adverse reproductive effects (9). The overall conception or pregnancy rates of controls in these six trials were 89 percent versus 59 percent in injected cows. |

 The general research suggests that even among non-vegetarians, B]2 can be insufficient in infants, and that perhaps all breast-feeding mothers should consider B n supplements for themselves and their infants during the time of breastfeeding. This lack of BJ2 in the mother's diet during pregnancy has been associated with a lack of myelin production.29 A B[2 deficiency in a baby takes somewhere between one to twelve months to develop. It often manifests as failure to thrive and slow developmental progression. |
| Those who swallowed it without chewing, raised it from an average of 123 to 139. Bi2 supplements made of cyanocobalamin are damaged by prolonged light exposure.57 Because of vulnerability of smokers to cyanocobalamin, oral supplementation with methylcobalamin (diben-cozide) and adeosyl cobalamin (coenzyme Bi2) can be used. Hydroxy cobalamin is also a good form of supplement but is primarily in the injectible form. The Tree of Life uses this form for injection. Research shows that it is retained in the body more than cyanocobalamin. |

 HDL comes up with exercise, and natural supplements like this one. You get a 23 percent increase in HDL when you take this product. Certain drugs can do it, like Niaspan, which is Niacin but in a higher dose.
There is some niacin in here but a very, very low dose of it. One of the problems with niacin is when you take it in high doses, and even in lower doses for some people, you get flush. That makes it difficult to tolerate. We work very hard as doctors to say, "The flushing is not dangerous. Try to take it. |
| Not just the supplements but also the whole complements of different options for patients. That would include the meditation, the yoga, and the non-touch therapy.
A lot of centers now are developing integrative medicine clinics. They have one at Scripps Clinic, where I hope to be doing some work, where a patient comes in and they try to look at the whole patient. They offer this whole array of different ways that we can take care of the body. Not just the body physically, but the mind and soul, too. |
| They'd show me all of these supplements. These are just the ones that we're honest about. I knew there were a whole lot that they weren't even telling me.
Mike: You got curious then?
Goodman: They'd ask me these questions, and eventually I said, "It's time for me to learn about it." I did a whole lot of research, and as I started to research I found that there really is something to so many of these naturopathic or natural ingredients. Why not make my own formula?
Mike: This is a very curious point, because again you're from the world of conventional medicine. Invasive cardiology. |

 How dare you think about supporting your immune system with nutritional therapies and life-saving supplements! You will interfere with the chemotherapy!" The patient says, "Oh, I'm sorry for trying to make a choice to support my own health outcome. Please shoot me up with that chemo before I get any more strange ideas about health." The oncologist will happily oblige.
Organized medicine, or what I like to call Dark Ages medicine, doesn't like you to be informed, because if you are, you might make the choice to go somewhere else. As we are seeing today, people are going somewhere else. |

 After reviewing literally hundreds of these foods, vitamins, minerals, and herbal supplements, I have narrowed the list to a short selection of the most powerful supplements and antiviral products that can be used to survive the next global pandemic. These will be covered in detail in the book. One of the best foods you can eat, by the way, for its antiviral properties, is garlic. Research also suggest that if you consume shiitake mushrooms, ginger and garlic on a daily basis, your immune system function will be strongly enhanced, dramatically boosting your defense against any flu. |

 Below you will find a seven-day menu plan, which includes suggested times at which to take your supplements. This is a practical guide designed to make the whole program as easy as possible.
Proteins
You should eat at least 12 ounces (300 grams) of the following meats (preferably organic) or high-protein foods every day. Remove all visible
The Dirty Dozen
In my last book, The Body Restoration Plan, using nationally published and publicly available U.S. data, I calculated which foods were most contaminated with metabolism-blocking chemicals. |

 Mike: Okay, so this is great for people who want the nutrition and who are tired of swallowing 12 different supplements a day.
Supkoff: Exactly. That becomes key with our product line.
Mike: I see. I usually take a very large gel cap of aloe.
Supkoff: You'll realize that conventional manufacturers are going to use either a large tablet or a capsule. Of course, in a conventional tablet, you've got a lot of binders and things like that. In capsules, you tend to have a lot of fillers because of the active ingredients, particularly chromium and selenium. |

 I may give the same diet with the same supplements and the same prescription drugs to one person that I already gave to 10 others, and the last 10 people I gave it to may be fine, but the 11th person may not be fine with it. I encourage people to be aware of themselves and what they are experiencing. When you do a detox program, it is because you want to make a change from feeling and living one way to feeling better. People must take their life apart and put it back together.

 We're talking about diet of course, and we're talking about supplements. Hygiene is another category we're trying to really introduce, with the concept of advanced hygiene and preventing germs from causing disease. There's the right way to exercise and the need for getting sunlight, rest and sleep – "body therapies," as we call them. There is the area of reducing stress, reducing toxins in your environment -- in the water you drink and bathe in, the air you breathe and the things you put on your skin, your hair or that you brush your teeth with. |
| You can make somebody a meal, and they'll be healthy for half a day, but if you teach somebody how to prepare food, how to purchase food and what foods to eat, and if you share with somebody how to choose the right supplements, then you've empowered somebody to be healthy for a lifetime, so it's exciting to give information that I think does make a difference.
Mike: This is part of your book, The Maker's Diet -- giving people the knowledge and wisdom to make these healthy choices day in, day out, right? |

 You can also extend the effect of this by taking appetite suppressant supplements. Hoodia gordonii is one I've reviewed quite extensively, and it is currently increasing in popularity. My own experience is that hoodia tincture can help, but even hoodia doesn't shut off appetite completely.
Also, you don't want to starve yourself by eating these 100-calorie meals all day long. Remember, starvation is the fastest way to train your body to hold on to body fat. These are just items to get you past a difficult time when your appetite is unbearably intense. |

 The only thing that really worked long term was to just completely reform my lifestyle: avoid all unhealthy processed foods, get outstanding nutrition through supplements, engage in all sorts of strength training, flexibility training, and modalities like Pilates and Yoga, which today I just absolutely swear by in terms of their effectiveness at enhancing core strength and eliminating chronic back pain.
So I did these things and I educated myself about the true causes of health. |

 Alternative cancer treatments are even more involved -- using nutrition supplements, antioxidants and particular herbs. There may be 10 things in the protocol. What the medical people like to do is pull them out one at a time and test them individually.
When they test, they have criteria that determine if something is a placebo. It needs to be effective more than 30 percent of the time. Interestingly enough, using chemotherapy for lung cancer is beneficial less than 1 percent of the time, which would make it one of the biggest placebos in history. |

Step 2. Seven-Day Desludge Diet step 2 requires more attention and will be an ongoing process, as it will take time to change your shopping habits and lifestyle accordingly. Be realistic about what you can achieve here. While it is very hard to eat and drink healthily all the time, the greater the proportion of beneficial foods in your diet, the better. |

 Companies should not be allowed to sell supplements or herbal remedies that simply don't work. But I also believe that the same logic should be applied to all of medicine. If prescription drugs don't work, shouldn't the consumers get their money back as well? And what about surgical procedures? If a surgeon offers you some procedure to eliminate back pain by fusing your vertebra, and afterwards your back pain is still present, why is it that you don't get your money back from that surgeon? |

Diet
Other general ways in which to boost hormonal health include cutting down on the levels of toxins consumed by following the Seven-Day Desludge Diet; reducing the levels of stimulants in your diet, such as coffee, cigarettes, and tea; and cutting down on refined sugar. In addition to diet, increase the amount of regular exercise you take. Get at least thirty minutes of exercise, three times a week. |

| Newman: Yes, we have supplements. You can't make a bag of dog food that is going to fit every dog's need -- and the same with the cat foods that we make. What we recommend you do is follow the holistic care animal lifestyle, which is having a good clean food as your basis, so that the food is giving you the basis that you need for basic protein, fats and so on. Then, you supplement according to the animal's own needs. This is how you're going to get the best out of both.
For instance, when I had three different dogs in my household, they didn't all get the same level of vitamin C. |

 Astaxanthin supplements, for one, greatly ease arthritis pain. So do whole food concentrates made from cherries, blackberries and other fruits. There are dozens of other natural health strategies that ease pain as well.
To pull off this public charade of a serious meeting about COX-2 inhibitors, meeting organizers paraded a line of pain victims in front of FDA panelists and got them to beg for the availability of COX-2 inhibitors. The implied message was, "If we can't have Vioxx, we'll suffer! |

 You cannot allow Trim Spa or any nutritional supplement to give you the right to go out and eat junk food all day long and avoid physical exercise, and far too many people view these supplements in that way. You will not lose weight on Trim Spa if you continue to eat junk foods, fried foods, fast foods, and other garbage that packs on the pounds through high caloric density foods.
Also, you will not lose weight on Trim Spa if you don't engage in physical exercise. So, it can really only be effective if you combine it with these other strategies that are proven to work. |

 Mike: Okay, so they get on these supplements or they change their lifestyle, what kind of results then do you see?
Lucille: I see phenomenal results. And mostly it is in the empowering. It's in them understanding and learning, and it's in them making the changes and taking responsibility, and also knowing that they have the education and they're armed now for their years ahead. That's the other thing about our health care, "We're living longer. Woohoo!" No, because we're living longer, and we're getting sicker. Who wants to be 112 and a debilitated mess?
Mike: Right. Sustainable disease. |

 You probably know people who regularly use herbal supplements, and you may have used them yourself.
If you have picked up this book and read this far, you are probably the kind of person who has, at one time or another, wondered exactly how drinking an herbal tea can help prevent cancer, or how taking Echinacea capsules can help you beat a cold. |

| There are vegan Bi2 supplements, which allow us to be fully successful vegan, live-food practitioners.
The author's general recommendation is that, if you have symptoms of B12 deficiency, start with a 1,000-mcg injection once per week for one to two months or an oral administration of 1,000 meg per day for four to eight weeks. After about two months of the oral, the dose can be cut in half. One month later, one can even cut that in half again. |

| If insurance covered vitamins, therapeutic touch, disease-fighting nutritional therapies, anti-cancer foods and supplements, therapies to reverse nervous disorders, acupuncture, Chinese medicine, Reiki and energy healing, then virtually everyone would switch over and start using natural therapies. Why? Because they work. You don't have to spend the rest of your life in a hospital, wired to a feeding tube, paying $10,000 a day, with pain and suffering until your dying day, trapped in a system of medicine that looks at you as nothing more than a profit generating machine. |

 They have never allowed manufacturers of nutritional supplements to make true statements about what those supplements can do for your health. In fact, the FDA battled vigorously against the DSHEA Act in 1994 that finally allowed nutritional supplement manufacturers to make qualified statements on their products, as long as such statements were followed with the quote, "This statement has not been endorsed by the FDA."
We should allow supplement manufacturers to tell the truth about what their products do when it is based on available clinical evidence. |
