VITAMINS AGAINST DISEASE
Most of what we do to our bodies, for better of worse, we do every
day by the nutritional and other lifestyle choices we make. Even the
effects of Down Syndrome, often seen as a prime example of an
utterly and exclusively genetic affliction, can to a surprisingly
large extent be overcome with huge doses of supplements
(http://www.doctoryourself.com/learning.html)
Failed disease-care systems pale and fade when examined under the
light of nutrition research and clinical proof. We do not
need "further study" on mineral and vitamin therapy. The work has
already been done, the results are in print, and the public is
cheerfully but unhealthfully ignorant. How did we miss it?
If there is one truth about clinical nutrition research, it is that
it is certainly not self evident. Frederick Robert Klenner (1949,
1971), William J. McCormick (1946, 1947, 1952, 1953, 1954, 1957,
1962), Irwin Stone (1972), and later Linus Pauling (1976, 1986) all
reviewed the literature on vitamin C, came to the same conclusions
about its importance as a therapeutic agent, and were summarily
ignored. (All references are posted at
http://www.doctoryourself.com/bibliography.html) I have often said
to both practitioners and students that if established medical and
nutritional authority won't listen to their own, they certainly
won't jump to hear you.
Considering the paucity of interest (and funding) from the medical
establishment, it is quite remarkable how much good nutrition
research has been done, and how almost all of it points to three
embarrassingly simple conclusions:
1. The average American's diet is truly awful, being superabundant in
chemicals, calories and protein and very deficient in fiber and
diverse vitamins and minerals.
2. Even modest dietary revision, plus increases in vitamin and
mineralintake, regularly result in both disease prevention and
clinical cure.
3. Most citizens, and their doctors, are vaguely aware of item 1,
dispute item 2, and are not concerned enough to act on either.
Don't be one of them. Check into your options. Research and read for
yourself. The Internet is our personal portal into world's archives.
It is mostly a matter of putting in the time, and from what I've
seen of this fall's TV schedule, you should have plenty of that.
Books were Johannes Gutenberg's Internet.
(http://prodigi.bl.uk/gutenbg/file1.htm#theman) When the Latin of the
medieval scholars was finally translated into the language of the
people, and then mass marketed, everyone with the desire to do so
could crack a book and decide matters for themselves. This is true
today.
I've always told my students that the toughest part of any homework
assignment is the act of actually sitting down and opening the
textbook. For you it's even easier.
For there you are, already sitting down at your computer, and it's
already on and all fired up, as you should be.
Question authority. See for yourself. Change your life today!

What a powerful message! But I still conclude that those modest diet revisions will still be resisted with the "I could get hit by a truck tomorrow" excuse. And the older they are the more resistant they are.

Thats what my man says when I ask him to consider change. "I might get hit by a bus tomorrow". I say you might. But at least if I get hit by a bus tomorrow I will have been well and happy until that point. You can be miserable and in pain until that happens if you want. I would prefer the best quallity of life I can have, until it happens.

Not everyone listens to reason, like we do, Fran, lol. I totally agree with you. If someone told me I had to eat a cupful of spinach every day of my life to live forever, I would gladly do it even if I hated the stuff. It's everyone's own choice however.

Yeah, Sally (& Fran).
SIGH!
