On taking nutritional supplements

1
On taking nutritional supplements

• why, what, when how

2
Why do I need nutritional supplements?

• My doctor says all I have to do is to eat a
  well-balanced diet and I will get all the
  nutrition I need !!
• I dont believe in supplements
• I exercise, I eat well, I sleep sound
• and I feel fine.

3
Why This might shock you

• According to a 1936 U.S. Senate Document 264 -
  74th US Congress regarding nutrients depletion
• millions of acres of land that no longer
  contains enough mineral...
• laboratory tests proved that fruits,
  vegetables, grains, eggs, milk and meat today
  arent what they were before. We cant eat enough
  fruits and vegetables to supply our bodies with
  the nutrients we require for perfect health,
  because our stomachs arent big enough to hold
  them.

4
Why Bet you dont eat like this

• According to the National Cancer Institute
• People are urged to eat 9 servings of fruits
  and vegetables a day to reduce risk of chronic
  disease.
• US Dept. of Agriculture surveyed 21,000 people
  and found NOT ONE had the recommended daily
  allowance of 9 servings of fruits and vegetables.

5
Why Think about this one

• According to 2000 US Dietary Guideline
  recommended 5 servings of fruits and vegetables.
• In 2005, the same Dietary Guideline increased its
  recommendation to 9 servings in order to meet the
  goal of obtaining the 10 major nutrients.
• Why the increase?

6
Why Do you know

• According to the Earth Summit report 1992, on
  nutrient content of soils around the world showed
  a depletion of nutrients (???? )
• - Africa 74 depletion
• - Australia 55
• - Asia 76
• - Europe 72
• - North America 85
• - South America 76

7
Why And you think you can eat right, eh?

• According to Medicine Today Journal, 2002
• - Sick soils Sick people
• - Iron in spinach dropped 60 the last 50 years
• - Broccoli and carrots lost 75 of magnesium
• - Watercress lost 93 of copper
• - One must eat 14 oranges to get 1,000 mg of
• vitamin C

8
Why Absorption is everything

• According to Journal of Chiropractic Economics
• .about 250,000 pounds of indigested tablets
  and pills are pulled out of Seattle sewage
  filters every 6 weeksmany of them with the brand
  names still readable March/April, Volume 40,
  Number 6.

9
Why Are you taking in all these?

• The National Science Foundation finds animal
  requires at least
• 45 minerals,
• 12 essential amino acids
• 16 vitamins
• 3 essential fatty acids
• Dr. Gary Price Todd M.D. the human body
  requires all of the above for optimal health.
  But less than half are available in any kind
  quantity in most food we eat today.

10
Why Believe it or not

• Shocking farming methods
• - use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides and
  waste
• contaminants.
• - harvest immaturely and artificially ripened,
• - sprayed, processed, radiated and coated with
  toxic
• chemicals to improve colors and prolong shelf
  life.
• Most cooking methods (over 118º) will destroy 50
  - 90 of nutrients.

11
What are the reasons for nutrition deficiency?

• Crop Nutrition Loss Environmental
  Factors/Pollutants
• Over-cooking pH Imbalance
• (high protein, sugar, stress, processed
  food)
• Food Omission Stress
• Poor Lifestyle/Habits Food Selection
• Poor Digestion Antibiotics/Drugs
• Fast/Processed Food Lack of Exercise/Sleep

12
What? You mean my doctor lied?

• Understand your MD is in the sick business, NOT
  health care.
• Most MDs are not trained in nutritional
  supplements.
• - they dont know enough to recommend,
• - they dont want to recommend.
• Pharmaceutical companies are in the drug
  business.
• Nutritional supplements are not patentable.
• If we dont get sick and die, many industries
  will suffer
• - government pension will run out,
• - less business for MDs, hospitals, nurses,
  ambulance services,
• funeral homes, cemeteries, drug stores, labs,
  bio-tech
• and pharmaceutical companies..

13
Dr. Tim OShea

• Source www.thedoctorwithin.com
• antibiotics are getting less effective.
• allergy shots never cured an allergy.
• cancer AIDS can never be cured by a drug.
• the ONLY way to recovers from any illness is
  when the immune system overcomes the problem
• the US has the highest incidence of
  degenerative diseases, UK is the 2nd
• the 1 cause of kidney failure is abuse of
  Tylenol

14
Two-times Nobel Prize winner Dr. Linus Pauling,
PhDyou can trace every sickness, every
disease, every ailment to nutritional deficiency
15
How - 2 ways to do our business

• To cure diseases
• or
• To build a strong foundation?
• "Give a man a fish, and you've given him a meal.
  Teach him to fish and he'll have food for a
  lifetime."

16
How - The Cure

• To help allergy, we recommend OPC-3
• To aid digestion, we recommend Aloe Juice
• To fight osteoporosis, we recommend Calcium Plus
• Problems
• 1. We became unlicensed-doctors
• 2. Once the ailment disappears, PCs stop buying
• 3. Constantly looking for PCs
• 4. Imbalance BVs

17
How - The Foundation

• Instead, we should recommend our nutritional
  products
• as a daily basic requirement like drinking 8
  glasses of
• water, exercising 3 times a week, sleeping 6-8
  hours a day.
• Advantages
• 1. 10-15 PCs buying monthly
• 2. Consistent BVs
• 3. More time to build our business
• 4. Less work, less headache, less risk

18
Were gardeners, think planting
SICK
1. Identify sickness 2. Treat by drugs or
surgery

• 1. Feed nourish
• 2. Cleanse detox

When our timing is right

• 65 of Americans are overweight
• 30 of us are obese
• Over 40 of us have high cholesterol...
• 50 of Americans over 65 have high blood
  pressure, and 28.7 overall
• Nearly 70 of people are unaware they have high
  blood pressure...
• 5.1 of us have type-2 diabetes, up 104 from
  1980 to 2004...
• Over 100,000,000 Americans have metabolic
  syndrome, which is one step away from having
  type-2 diabetes...
•  92 of Americans are deficient in one or more
  essential vitamins and minerals... We need to
  build a strong foundation!

• the maximum absorption of nutrients one can
  expect from oral supplementation with pills and
  tablets is 20 to 25.
• a liquid solution does not need to be
  dissolved, so approximately 98 of the elemental
  amount will be available for absorption

Facts about Calcium absorption

• Active transport site first 6 inches of small
  intestine where most absorptions take place is
  Vitamin D dependent. Insoluble form of calcium
  such as carbonate is absorbed here. Max. abs.
  450mg.
• Passive diffusion site end portion of small
  intestine, alkaline environment, absorption rate
  of calcium at these sites is 48 however only
  soluble forms of calcium such as lactate and
  citrate.
• The colon plays a small part in the absorption of
  calcium and is absorption improved with the
  presence of certain probiotics.

Final facts

• Harvard examined 91,731 women over a
  12-year period and found
• - who takes Ca supplements has less chance of
  forming kidney stones
• - Calcium binds with oxalate (???), an acid
  found in food, in the
• intestine and excreted in the stool. Oxalate
  is a major constituent
• of stones, not calcium.
• - drink plenty of water when taking Ca
  supplement.
• - kidney stones are uncommon in women.

• American Journal of Clinical Nutrition 1997

33
Important absorption co-factors

• Magnesium (?) is a key factor for bone strength.
  Sufficient amounts are required to ensure proper
  calcium absorption and utilization, thereby
  preventing calcium deposits (stones) in soft
  tissue. (Take extra Mg for better absorption.)
• Vitamin D has been added to facilitate the
  adequate absorption of calcium at the vitamin D
  dependant active transport sites (first 6 of
  small intestine).

• MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) - Glucosamine sulfate
  already has sulfate in it and with MSM (34
  sulfate) maybe taking in too much sulfate.
• Chondroitin - are composed of large molecules
  that are extremely difficult to absorb. The
