Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You

Andreas Moritz
See book keywords and concepts
It would be very simplistic to assume that a few vitamin pills, a new wonder drug, an operation, or even an alternative medical treatment could, in the spur of a moment, undo the effects of many years of neglect. The body may have had to endure much strain from not receiving proper nourishment or sufficient sleep and exercise for years on end. Timeless Secrets of Health and Rejuvenation is about setting the preconditions for the body to do what it knows best—creating and maintaining balance—regardless of age and previous health problems.

I'll hear from people, and they'll say, "You know, I've tried vitamin pills. I would take that one pill, and I would never feel the difference." Mike: Right. Kunin: Each one of these packets is replacing roughly a dozen vitamin pills, and most people are just not willing to comply. Compliance is always an issue. Mike: Right. It's a lot to swallow. Kunin: With this we find that people feel the difference almost immediately. They're willing to integrate this into their daily life. And they get to point where they realize, "Gosh, I don't know how I lived without it.

Product Review: New natural health products

I like this spray because it avoid all the fillers and excipients used in vitamin pills and capsules, meaning it gets digested almost instantly (there's no bulk or fiber to have to break apart). The same company also has a product called New Focus that I also recommend. Loaded with zeaxanthin, bilberry and ginkgo, it's a super nervous system protector and enhancer. (It also happens to put antioxidants into your skin that help protect you from sunburn.) It's outstanding for eye health and has numerous other benefits. Juvo raw meal now available in 21 oz.

Accordingly, we spend billions of dollars on vitamin pills each year to fight off every kind of ill from the common cold to cancer. Nowadays, artificial vitamins are added to almost every processed food—not because they are so good for you, but because foods that are "enriched" sell better. Cereals, bread, milk, yoghurt, boiled sweets (hard candy), even dog food with added vitamins leave the supermarket shelves much faster than foods without them.
Just pop in a couple of those colorful vitamin pills a day and your health is taken care of, or so the ad slogans tell you. But if you don't pay heed to this "common-sense" advice, doctors tell you that you may become vitamin deficient and put your health at risk. And so we act obediently, out of fear of risking our lives. If you feel tired or suffer from lack of concentration (which could be due to lack of sleep or overeating), you may be prescribed vitamin B pills. Then there is vitamin C if you catch a cold (which could result from stress, working too hard or eating too much junk food).

You Don't Have to be Afraid of Cancer Anymore

Dietary supplements Surveys show about 80% of women at risk for breast cancer recurrence take vitamin pills. [Journal American Dietetic Assn 98: 285-92, 1998] A study was conducted by researchers at the University of Victoria in British Columbia, Canada, to ascertain whether a dietary supplement regimen would improve survival times for women with non-spreading breast cancer in one breast. The women took what was identified as a mega dose formula of beta carotene, vitamin C, niacin, selenium and CoQIO.
Some doctors have had the gall to tell their patients to take Flintstones children's vitamins if they want to take vitamin pills. The position of the American Cancer Society, to take dietary supplements that don't exceed 100% of the Daily Value, because of the potential for side effects, is mistaken advice because side effects don't begin until five times greater dosage than the Safe Upper Limit is consumed. Furthermore, the Daily Value and Recommended Daily Allowance are intended for totally healthy adults, not for patients at risk for or battling cancer.
Millions of Americans who have greater need for vitamin C (growing children, pregnant females, smokers, diabetics, the elderly, and those who take vitamin C-deplet-ing medications such as aspirin, steroids, birth control pills and estrogen) are all likely to be in a state of semi-scurvy and falsely believe their diet or low-dose vitamin pills provide sufficient amounts of vitamin C. This is due to the misinformation distributed by the National Institutes of Health. New research Recent studies conducted 28 years after Drs.
His family members mistakenly associate the vitamin pills with these diseases. They think Mike's melanoma was caused by taking vitamins. So many people hear TV reports or read articles in newspapers that high-dose vitamin C causes cancer, and even though these reports are later found to be in error, they leave an indelible impression upon the people who first heard them. So few Americans realize how many negative reports about nutritional therapy are planted in the news media.
Researchers at the University of California San Diego caught the cancer industry by surprise with their stunning review of 63 published papers, revealing cancer rates can be dramatically reduced by raising blood levels of vitamin D beyond dietary levels with the use of vitamin pills. Large portions of human populations, especially in northern latitudes and people with darkly-pigmented skin, have very low circulating levels of vitamin D.
Public health authorities have such a dim view of vitamin pills that they don't emphasize the importance of supplementing the diet. Folic acid has been fortified in foods, but only in moderate amounts, and it is subject to spoilage during processing and cooking. Furthermore, folic acid in foods is not nearly as well absorbed and bioavailable as folic acid from dietary supplements. [British Journal Nutrition 95:181-7, 2006] Should everyone supplement with folic acid to prevent cancer? A large body of data indicates this.

However, there never really was good evidence that vitamin pills provided helpful antioxidants in the first place. And we don't really know what it is about fruits and vegetables that is good for you, since manufactured vitamins represent only one small element of the multitude of compounds (including multiple forms of the same vitamins) present in fruits and vegetables.

Taking vitamin pills, which don't contain much Life Force Energy, also known as Chi or Prana), does not substitute regular intake of healthy, fresh food. Vitamins that have been removed from their natural environment, i.e., fruits, vegetables, etc. can in fact upset both AGNI and the delicate balance of minerals and vitamins in the body. This especially applies to multivitamin preparations.

I'll have dozens of bottles of vitamin pills!" Mack exclaimed. "Not really. Unless your tests show particularly bad deficiencies, only vitamins C and E and flaxseed oil are separate. All the others—B6, folic acid, Bi2> all the minerals . . . can be found in several different high-potency multiple vitamin-mineral formulas. I'll write the name of one of them. ..." "Four supplement bottles. That's not so bad, Mack," Cindy said. "I guess not. But I don't know about giving up those doughnuts ... just kidding, but we still have a lot of diet changes to make.

In one passage, after making unsubstantiated claims about the efficacy of antioxidant supplements that contradict recent studies,53 he writes, "Add to the [antioxidants] the vita-nutrients known to be useful for each of the myriad medical problems my patients face, and you'll see why many of them take over thirty vitamin pills a day."56 Thirty pills a day?

So many kids are winding up getting these vitamin pills that they have to chew that destroy the teeth. They don't provide a lot of nutrient support. Again, my dad has done a lot of work, especially in the arena of ADD, ADHD and autism, and getting nutrient support in the children is a struggle. So we produced a line that is providing key ingredients very similar to what you'll find in the energy product, but we've removed the coenzyme Q10 -- which, in large measure, is lost on kids -- and also made it more affordable at the same time.
Kunin: Each one of these packets is replacing roughly a dozen vitamin pills, and most people are just not willing to comply. Compliance is always an issue. Mike: Right. It's a lot to swallow. Kunin: With this we find that people feel the difference almost immediately. They're willing to integrate this into their daily life. And they get to point where they realize, "Gosh, I don't know how I lived without it." Mike: Now, let's start with the basics here for those who are maybe new to the product. You take a package and empty the powder into a glass of water.
If they can't eat, most people aren't going to rush out and take a handful of vitamin pills when they're feeling a little light-headed. Mike: Right. Kunin: You can do that with Ola Loa. Mike: You know, what else is really interesting about your product, Greg, is that the nutrients in here are almost pure nutrients, whereas if you take a typical capsule, sometimes as much as 50 percent of the mass of that capsule is just filler. Kunin: Absolutely. Mike: And people don't realize that you take a zinc pill, and the actual zinc is microscopic. Kunin: A very small amount. Mike: Yes.

They ignored our cautionary message distinguishing foods from pills and began advertising vitamin pills as products that could prevent cancer, arrogantly citing our report as justification. This was a great opening to a vast new market—commercial vitamin supplements. General Nutrition, Inc., the company with thousands of General Nutrition Centers, started selling a product called "Healthy Greens," a multivitamin supplement of vitamins A, C and E, beta-carotene, selenium and a miniscule half-gram of dehydrated vegetables.

Many commercial supplements are lifeless and overwhelm and confuse the body with too many concentrated synthetic elements (petrochemical vitamin pills, non-soluble mineral tablets, heavy colloidal mineral tinctures, animal protein powders, etc.). I only consume the highest-quality, naturally-derived supplements. I particularly enjoy MSM powder, Beauty Enzymes, Blue Mangosteen Antioxidants, angstrom minerals, fully mineralized sea or rock salts and others.

Now I understand I should stay on this good diet forever, but how long do I need to take all these vitamin pills?" "The multiple vitamin and mineral, and the vitamins C and E should be indefinite. But likely you can adjust the other things downward as time goes on." "You said get this iodide tested in case I'm allergic. What about this other stuff?" "Sensitivity to the other supplements is less likely, but not impossible. So while you're checking on the iodide, you might as well check those, too. "I'll check on everything. I've gotten real fond of not being in pain.

You could get the same by taking vitamin pills and eating a candy bar. We reviewed similar ads for "diet aids," which were nothing more than vitamin pills and protein supplements. But the ads are designed to imply that you could eat all the food you wanted. The ad showed women carrying trays of food through the kitchen for a midafternoon get-together, implying that with this aid you could eat all the food you wanted. The FDA was putting pressure on us to get us to belly up. The word came back from informants, no more ads.

In September 1972 he was nearly normal, but he did not like taking vitamin pills. By November 26,1973 he remained only on niacinamide and was not doing as well. He had trouble modulating his voice, especially when excited, but had made a B average at school. John Hoffer in July found he still had visual illusions, was forgetful and depressed. He was not on the sugar-free diet. J.H. concluded that his schizophrenic mother had difficulty coping with her son and did not supervise his treatment well. His hyperactivity score went from 75 in February 1971 to 47 July 1973.

Fresh juices are like natural vitamin pills with a very high assimilation rate that do not require the work of digestion. The juices of apples, grapes, oranges, and carrots are good cleansing juices but might be minimized for weight loss as they are high in calories. Juices more helpful for weight loss include grapefruit, lemon, cucumber, and greens such as lettuce, spinach, or parsley. Also, a variety of juices can be used in a fast, prepared fresh daily. Keep recipes of your favorite new combinations.

This process allows a yeast of any B vitamin potency desired to be produced and used to formulate vitamin pills with "B vitamins derived from yeast." Ammonia also is generally added to the growth medium of the yeast, just as it is used in chemical farming—as a nitrogen fertilizer to increase protein content in the finished product. Culinary Uses Nutritional yeast extracts have an agreeable taste, somewhat like cheese, but with a more refreshing aftertaste. For many it is an acquired taste; those who are nauseated by yeast or who find its taste disagreeable should avoid it.

To the green activists, golden rice was another technical fix being promoted as the solution to the problem of malnutrition when the world was already awash in food and vitamin pills and pharmaceuticals. The problem, they argued correctly, is that people were sick and hungry not because of global shortages but because of wars and dictators and simply because poor people could not afford to buy what was already available.

These inexpensive "vitamins" in many cases are chemically produced and are not natural. Most vitamin pills have vitamins and minerals in a proportion never found in nature. It is true that you are most assuredly deficient in vitamins and minerals. The best way to correct this deficiency is by juicing. The second best way is to take whole food supplements. These are not vitamin and mineral pills. Whole food supplements simply take organically produced vegetables and fruits and concentrate them into a convenient tablet that you can take.

Ben had forgotten he had ever seen me and did not understand why he should take vitamin pills. I explained the situation to him, and he agreed he would start again and keep taking vitamin B-3 until age 18. Later Ben married. He is raising a family and has a responsible permanent job. He meets my criteria for recovery - he is free of symptoms and signs of illness, he gets on well with his family and with the community, he is employed and pays taxes.
