| DYNAMITE TESTIMONIALS MIRACULOUS IZMINE HOOVES AND SUNBURN FREE -- My quarter/appendix had very brittle hooves that were so bad that every year when it dries out, they would crack and chip. Winter was different but still very thin walls and brittle. I just thought it was the way he was. My farrier and I are amazed at how thick they have become. I have done nothing at all different, other than the Dynamite & Izmine. My farrier appointments have always been 8 weeks apart but this last time the farrier and I just looked at his hooves all the way around and couldn't believe how thick they were. I told him immediately "it's the Dynamite products!"
started using the izmine 4 scoops a day; eventually he was brought down to 2 scoops a day. He is much stronger and needs less sunscreen. I was putting 45block on his entire face, heavy on the nose, include nostrils, his part in his mane and on his back. Poor guy. the block on his back or mane. I am not sure what causes this to help sunburning but Izmine has really helped him. He also had cancer and has been through much surgery. was that he was able to go home the same day - I did not have to pay the overnight fees which saved me a bundle but also made me feel confident that his diet is a major contributing factor to his recovery in all of this and I must be doing the right thing. All around, feed is even less. I have healthy, meaty horses who are very happy! Katherine Gorman DYNAMITE TTO - A LITERAL LIFE-SAVER -- In March 2006, my Fell Pony mare Newfarm Valencia sustained a puncture wound in her buttock. The wound was 8” deep, parallel to the rectum, and we were fortunate to be in close proximity to the best veterinary hospital in the state. Val was 8 months pregnant, and I was concerned both about Val’s health and the health of the foal. Val was put on antibiotics immediately, and for the first three weeks of hospitalization, she held her own. I made sure she had her basic Dynamite supplements, plus a number of immune system boosters and supplements to treat the side effects of anti-inflammatory drugs. The veterinarians flushed the wound regularly with a dilute betadyne solution, and they ultrasounded the area every few days to assess the progress of healing. As I was nearly four hours away, I got daily phone updates regarding Val’s vital signs, and visited once to twice a week. The vets found Val to be an ideal patient, cooperative and definitely appreciative of all the attention. They found the ultrasound regime particularly amusing, as they were probing rectally to the lip of the pelvis, and Val’s foal would push their hand out of the pelvic canal, as if to say, “there isn’t room in here for both of us!” I found these stories good news, of course, as it told me the foal was not only alive but energetic. At three weeks, Val took a sudden and noticeable turn for the worse. She went septic and began to founder. Her temperature rose, and she was visibly a very sick pony. She was put back on intravenous antibiotics, and the veterinarian’s suggested the wound be cultured to make sure the treatment was appropriate to the infection. I heartily agreed, and after the veterinarians delayed a few days, I finally got them to culture the wound. The results came back a few days later still, showing that the infection was antibiotic resistant. Her prognosis was only a 50% chance of survival. After consulting with my up-line Rowan Emrys, I took a step that is very unusual for me. I demanded that the veterinarians stop what they were doing and implement a different protocol for puncture wound treatment using Dynamite Tea Tree Oil for flushing the wound instead of Betadyne. I was extremely uncomfortable interfering with the veterinarians, but they appeared to be stymied, and Val’s life and that of her foal were on the line. With the help of regular pep talks from Rowan, I pushed for what I wanted. I had to sign a release before the new protocol was started. Tea Tree Oil (Melaleuca alternifolia) is a natural antiseptic and anti-fungal oil. Dynamite’ s Tea Tree Oil (TTO) is extracted from grafted trees that ensure a consistent and pure product with an ideal terpinen:cineol ratio. I can smell the difference between Dynamite’s TTO and other brands that I have purchased. Within three days of the first flush using TTO, Val’s vital signs indicated improvement. When I next saw her, I could tell she was back on the road to recovery. Unfortunately, the veterinarian in charge of her case decided that the protocol should be stopped since Val was showing signs of recovery. I was completely flabbergasted that the vet would quit a protocol that was working. After three tense days between the vet and me, I checked Val out of the hospital against the vet’s advice, another difficult step for me. I began the flushing protocol at home. To keep the rest of this story short, I’ll summarize: I kept up the daily flushes until Val told me to quit. She gave birth to a healthy foal in June. Last week, six months after she was wounded, a different vet examined her. The wound has healed completely, and the lameness that I had noticed in one hind leg has resolved. I consider Dynamite’s Tea Tree Oil to have saved Val’s life and that of her foal and enabled a full recovery. For all of that, I am truly thankful.

Point to Ponder #1 - C is for Chocolate by Ralph Moss, Ph.D. The Moss Report http://cancerdecisions.com The Aztec King Tezozomoc of Azoapotzalco regarded chocolate as a divine substance: he offered distinguished guests cocoa in a tortoise shell that was highly polished and ornamented with gold arabesques. Early on, chocolate developed a reputation as an aphrodisiac. Montezuma is said to have drunk chocolate before entering his harem. The famous botanist Carl Linnaeus got to name the plant and with great perspicacity called it Theobroma cacao, food for the gods. Most of us like chocolate, but some of us (especially women) crave it so much that they are virtually addicted. There may be a biological basis for this. First let's get our terms straight. The plant is called cacao, a word derived from the Aztec word "cacahuatl." This is an evergreen tropical American tree that bears leathery ten-ribbed fruits on the trunk and older branches. Cocoa powder is made from cacao seeds, which have been fermented, roasted, shelled, ground and freed of most of its fat. Cocoa is also the name of the beverage made by mixing this powder with hot water or milk. In North America and Europe, we always mix this powder with a sweetener, usually sugar. But the word cacahuatl meant "bitter water" (from xococ, bitter + atl, water). One can gradually cultivate a taste for less sweet forms of chocolate. Even today, Mexicans prize chocolate as an unsweetened food and use it in their famous chicken dish, mole poblano. Most people assume that anything that tastes so darn good just has to be bad for you. But according to Karon Harder, a clinical dietitian at Northwest Texas Health Care System, "chocolate can be healthy when it's part of a varied diet. It's not that chocolate is bad for you," she says. "But what's added to chocolate isn't that good." A report in January of 2002 from France showed that certain substances in cocoa powder inhibit 70 percent of cancer cells during a critical phase of their growth cycle. Japanese researchers have shown that tiny amounts of a cacao bean extract (called polycaphenol) are more toxic to human tumor cells than to normal cells. In some regards polycaphenol was even more effective than vitamin C. Pretreatment of mice with polycaphenol also protected them from lethal E. coli infections. In 2001, the eminent food researcher John Weisburger, PhD, concluded: "The cocoa bean, and tasty products derived from the cocoa bean such as chocolate, and the beverage cocoa, popular with many people world-wide, is rich in specific antioxidants." The regular intake of such products, he continued, would increase the level of antioxidants, prevent the oxidation of "bad" LDL cholesterol, and probably prevent heart disease. "It would seem reasonable to suggest inhibition of the several phases of the complex processes leading to cancer," Weisburger said. The darker the chocolate, the better it is for you, according to Prof. Joe Vinson of the University of Scranton. Weight for weight, he said, milk chocolate has twice as many antioxidants as blueberries and dark chocolate has five times as many. And cocoa powder contains twice as much antioxidants as dark chocolate and is almost devoid of fat. Chocolate may also be good for your heart and digestion. In 2001 a number of researchers at the University of California, Davis found that chocolate inhibits the clumping of platelets. "Cocoa consumption had an aspirin-like effect," they wrote. Cocoa butter is mainly stearic triglyceride, which is less well absorbed than other fats, and is excreted. Thus, cocoa butter has a minimal effect on serum cholesterol. I am not advocating an unrelenting diet of chocolate bars, which contain nine grams of fat per ounce and also sugar, cream, saturated fats and other less desirable things. There is a way to avoid the bad stuff by making your own cocoa drink. Start with organic cocoa powder and mix it with hot water to make a paste. Then add more hot water or low-fat milk and sweeten with a little honey. The resulting drink is quite delicious. It also might fight cancer and heart disease -- not a bad combination for a substance that not long ago was relegated to the "junk food" category. Chocolate is very complex. It contains phenylethylamine, an amphetamine- like substance that selectively elevates some brain chemicals that are associated with pleasure. Other chemicals in chocolate have the ability to bind to cannabinoid receptors in the brain, mimicking the effects of marijuana. There may be something to the old folk tale that chocolate is an aphrodisiac. Chocolate may also have some negative effects, particularly in migraine sufferers and among women with severe PMS. It may increase kidney stone formation in those who are prone to that painful disease. Recently, two Arizona researchers wrote a paper asking whether chocolate was a food or a drug. So who knows? Perhaps sometime soon the FDA will reclassify this substance and you will have to apply for an Investigative New Drug (IND) number just to get a chocolate bar. ...... for all those who consider chocolate to be an essential nutrient, you might consider checking out the new Dagoba Apothecary line of 74% cacao chocolate bars and elixirs that add a variety of "beneficial botanicals" to the organic chocolate. They advise 1 oz per day of the bar and 3 drops/3x daily of the elixirs! http://www.dagobachocolate.com Point to Ponder #2 - Stay Younger: Skip the Coffee & Use Raw Apple Cider Vinegar by Victoria at www.DayZines.com All of us know that stress ages us quickly. And for those of you that still think you need caffeine to keep going, in time, stress and caffeine contribute to adrenal exhaustion. When this happens, important hormones are depleted and you will end up highly fatigued. Caffeine accelerates aging by impairing immunity, which occurs through the elevation of stress hormones, nutrition depletion, and depression of DHEA. According to Stephen Chernisek, author of "Caffeine Blues," caffeine also does the following in the body:
insulin 2. Raises fatty acid levels in the blood 3. Raises homocysteine levels, which greatly increases the diabetic's risk for cardiovascular disease 4. Causes vascular resistance (circulation is reduced) 5. And caffeine raises stress hormone levels which is a primary risk factor for diabetes Get rid of caffeine if you are serious about preserving your youth and having long term health. Apple cider vinegar has been highly regarded throughout history. In 400 B.C. the great Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine used it for it's cleansing, healing, nurturing and energizing qualities. Raw apple cider vinegar is a naturally occurring antibiotic and antiseptic and fights germs and bacteria. * The claims that many make about apple cider vinegar are that it will give you a stronger, longer, healthier life. * Other miraculous claims about apple cider vinegar... * Helps maintain a youthful and vibrant body * Helps fight germs and bacteria naturally * Helps retard the onset of old age in humans, pets and farm animals * Helps regulate calcium metabolism * Helps keep blood the right consistency * Helps regulate women's menstruation * Helps normalize the urine, thus counteracting the frequent urge to urinate * Helps digestion and assimilation * Helps relieve sore throats, laryngitis and throat tickles and cleans out toxins * Helps sinus, asthma and flu sufferers to breathe easier and more naturally * Helps maintain healthy skin, soothes sunburn * Helps prevent itching scalp, dry hair and baldness, and banishes dandruff * Helps fight arthritis and removes toxins and crystals from joints, tissues and organs * Helps control and normalize weight (if used in conjunction with a healthy eating plan) When using apple cider vinegar, make sure to get raw organic vinegar, with the mother still in it. Vinegar that has been pasteurized does not produce the same results. . . . Most people take 1/2 to 1 teaspoons per day, either straight or in 8 oz of pure water . . . an individual take an apple cider vinegar "cocktail" three times a day for maximum results: 1 to 2 teaspoons of organic raw apple cider vinegar mixed with 1 to 2 teaspoons of raw honey in a glass of distilled water. It is said that Helen of Troy bathed regularly in vinegar. You can give your beautiful body the same treatment by adding apple cider vinegar to your bath. Vinegar should not be used directly on the skin, but when properly diluted will make an excellent "sour bath" that removes dry flaky skin and restores skin's natural acid balance. Add a cup of vinegar to your bathwater and see how your skin glows. ....... we have long suggested more alkaline diets as the base of good health, and coffee is about as ACID as you can get! Rather than coffee and soft drinks, why not start substituting fresh veggie juice? Freeze it into ice cubes (or the new tube) trays and add to your daily water. For hot beverages, offer yourself herbal teas (no, not Morning Thunder!), miso or even some organic chicken broth that comes handily boxed? Raw Apple Cider Vinegar is also a great alkalizer. One of the finest available is Dynamite Super ACV. Point to Ponder #3 - Heart Attacks and Women from the internet - thanks Nancy! Women should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting.
IF YOU'RE ALONE: Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack, without help, the person whose heart is beating improperly and who begins to feel faint, has only about 10 seconds left before losing consciousness. However, such individuals can help themselves by coughing repeatedly and very vigorously. A deep breath should be taken before each cough, and the cough must be deep and prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep inside the chest. A breath and a cough must be repeated about every two seconds without let- up until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating normally again. Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing movements squeeze the heart and keep the blood circulating The squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it regain normal rhythm. In this way, heart attack victims can get to a hospital. ..... it's best to guard against heart attacks in the first place by eating a more alkalised diet, consuming plenty of Omega 3 fatty acids while avoiding over-use of Omega 6 such as found in vegetable oils, and taking the Dynamite foundational products of Elixir, Dynamite or Plus and TriMins. Point to Ponder #4 - Heartburn Medications & the Fluoride Connection Plus the Possible Role of Fluoride in Equine Laminitis This is an email from a woman named Cathy Justus in reply to my January Newsletter. Cathy lost 5 top Quarter Horses to fluorosis before it was diagnosed and has since made it her life's work to bring awareness of the dangers of fluoride to others. If you have further questions, please contact her at her email address below. Dear Rowan, Great newsletter. I read with interest all articles. I do, however, have something to add to the article on depression and osteoporosis. Fluoxetine (Prozac) is made with fluoride. That is where the fluo in the beginning of the name comes from. It has been proven for many years that fluoride increases bone density and amount. In fact it makes bones harder and crystalline and that is why it also increases pressure fractures and cracking and chipping of teeth. That is also why it increases osteoporosis or as Dr. Krook from Cornell University, that diagnosed all my horses as having "chronic fluoride poisoning", calls mosaic bone. You can see the increase in bone mass in the peer reviewed manuscript in the Jan/Feb 2006 issue of the Quarterly Journal of the International Society for Fluoride Research. www.fluorideresearch.org then go to back issues, then go to the Jan/March 2006 issue, then go to the manuscript by Dr. Lennart Krook/Cathy Justus and see the actual x-rays. I also, in the 17 page autopsy report from Dr. Krook, have a photo of one of Baby Doe's cannon bone split down the center that shows how fluoride- apetite (that has replace the calcium apatite in the bone) is taking over the bone marrow (decreasing the immune system) inside the bone and increasing bone mass on the outside of the bone. Another point to make with fluoride is that Baby Doe (Perfectlydun Bonanza), the first mare of mine to be positively diagnosed with "chronic fluoride poisoning" was diagnosed with laminitis after death in her autopsy by Dr. Krook at Cornell University. She had never had a shoe on and had regular natural barefoot maintenance all her life. In the autopsy Dr. Krook made mention of fluoride "possibly" being the culprit in the amount of laminitis in horses these days. The second horse in Pagosa Springs that was autopsied by Dr. Krook at Cornell also had laminitis despite not yet showing lameness. This second horse was not mine. The third horse diagnosed, not mine, also had laminitis although not lame yet but had severe back problems. The fourth horse autopsied was my horse. She had gone far past laminitis to the point that the hoof almost wasn't recognizable and turned up like elf's shoes. This was described years ago in cattle with fluoride poisoning by Dr. Krook. Referring to the above paragraph telling how fluoride makes the bones and teeth more crystalline, this mare's hooves were so hard they couldn't be trimmed with nippers. They had to be filed some everyday with very good files to be able to get even minute amounts of hoof off. Just thought you may want to hear more of the story behind what is normally reported. Thanks again for the newsletter. Knowledge is Power! Sincerely, Cathy justusoriginals@pagosa.net ....... for those of you wanting to remove fluoride from your drinking water, the only filtration/cleansing process that can accomplish this is a reverse osmosis device. Distilled water such as produced by RO, is extremely advantageous for short-term detoxing, but for long-term regular consumption, it is extremely wise to replace beneficial minerals expunged from such water by adding a daily dose of Dynamite Elixir to your water. Point to Ponder #5 - Beware Of Polyvinyl Chloride, A Highly Toxic Plastic Found In Many Household Products By Dr. Ben Kim http://drbenkim.com/pvc-plastic-dangers.html Polyvinyl chloride, also known as PVC or vinyl, is arguably one of the most toxic types of plastic in our lives. One reason why PVC is so toxic is that it is often mixed with softening chemicals called plasticizers, the most well known variety being phalates. Exposure to PVC and the plasticizers that often come with it have been strongly associated with an increased risk of developing the following conditions:
Furthermore, the processes of manufacturing PVC and burning waste PVC are known to create dioxins. Even at very low levels of exposure, dioxins have been linked to:
Dioxin production of any amount is a threat to the entire world because dioxins can travel long distances and persist in the environment. Due to the number of concerns that surround the use of PVC, some governments around the world officially discourage its use:
If the health and environmental risks associated with PVC are so well documented, why does it continue to be a major part of the global economy? Because it is relatively inexpensive to manufacture and can be adapted for so many everyday uses. Simply put, PVC is one of the premier cash cows of the chemical industry. How can you identify products that are made with PVC? Most are marked with its resin identification code, as shown here. For products that are not marked with a resin identification code, the only way to find out whether it is made with PVC or not is to ask the manufacturer directly. Another way to identify the presence of PVC is to look out for soft, malleable plastic. Packaging (including some varieties of cling-wrap), toys, clothing, and bed linens are common products that can come with PVC-laden malleable plastic. Other common products that are usually made with PVC include:
For parents who are concerned with PVC in children's toys, it is best to use toys that are manufactured by the following brands that refuse to incorporate PVC into their products:
Discovery Toys and Manhattan Baby also provide a variety of toys that are free of PVC; they also have some toys that are made with PVC, so it is wise to do a thorough check before purchasing these brands. Another safe option for toys is to choose varieties that are made with certified sustainable wood or organic cotton. Companies that specialize in such toys are:
Clearly, it is extremely difficult to live without any plastic products in our homes and workplaces. What follows are some sensible guidelines* that can help to reduce our exposure to plastic, particularly those that are made with PVC:
Ultimately, one fact is clear: our generation is being exposed to many dangerous chemicals that previous generations were not burdened with. A study that was recently released by Environmental Defence, a Canadian advocacy group, indicates that Canadian children have higher levels of 68 chemicals found in consumer products in their bodies than their parents do. Making the effort to incorporate some of the guidelines listed above into our daily lives is undoubtedly a wise investment of our time and resources. *Guidelines on how to reduce our exposure to plastic are from www.cbc.ca. ....... Please remember that PVC is just ONE of the literally thousands of chemicals to which our bodies are daily exposed. Because of this, we DO suggest using chemical-free cleansing products in your home such as the EcoSense with which I am extremely pleased. To help rid your body, and the bodies of your extended family including pets, do consider daily use, in addition to quarterly cleansing rounds, of Natural Cellular Defense - it just may be life-saving! DYNAMITE 2007 SPRING CONFERENCE! - March 16-18 ... Come celebrate Dynamite Marketing's 25th Anniversary! - To learn more, go to WWW.DYNAMITEMARKETING.COM Menu of the Month - A Heart Healthy Meal The best thing you can do for heart health is to decrease those vegetable oils so high in Omega 6 fatty acids and eat more Omega 3's found mainly in fatty fish, high Omega eggs and grass-fed meats. That's along with a diet high in phytochemicals, of course! Here's a special Heart Healthy Meal to make for your loved one.

I ran into a stranger as he passed by, "Oh excuse me please" was my reply. He said, "Please excuse me too; I wasn't watching for you." We were very polite, this stranger and I. We went on our way and we said goodbye. But at home a different story is told, How we treat our loved ones, young and old. Later that day, cooking the evening meal, My son stood beside me very still. When I turned, I nearly knocked him down. "Move out of the way," I said with a frown. He walked away, his little heart broken. I didn't realize how harshly I'd spoken. While I lay awake in bed, God's still small voice came to me and said, "While dealing with a stranger, common courtesy you use, but the family you love, you seem to abuse. Go and look on the kitchen floor, You'll find some flowers there by the door. Those are the flowers he brought for you. He picked them himself: pink, yellow and blue. He stood very quietly not to spoil the surprise, you never saw the tears that filled his little eyes." By this time, I felt very small, And now my tears began to fall. I quietly went and knelt by his bed; "Wake up, little one, wake up," I said. "Are these the flowers you picked for me?" He smiled, "I found 'em, out by the tree. I picked 'em because they're pretty like you. I knew you'd like 'em, especially the blue." I said, "Son, I'm very sorry for the way I acted today; I shouldn't have yelled at you that way." He said, "Oh, Mom, that's okay. I love you anyway." I said, "Son, I love you too, and I do like the flowers, especially the blue." .
