Point to Ponder #1 - Chemo & Nutritional Supplements Dr. Julian Whitaker's Health & Healing, Sept 2006, Vol. 16, No. 9 (www.drwhitaker.com) According to Julian Whittaker, MD, the question about whether chemotherapy patients can have nutritional supplements and especially antioxidants should always be answered with a resounding YES. "The widespread belief that vitamin and mineral supplements are detrimental to patients undergoing chemotherapy should have been laid to rest years ago. In his landmark book Cancer and Nutrition, written in the early 1990's, oncologist Charles Simone, MD, blows away this misconception. Citing numerous references, he states, 'All studies show that vitamins and minerals do not interfere with the anti-tumor effects of chemotherapy or radiation therapy. In fact, on the contrary, some vitamins and minerals used in conjunction with chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy have been shown to protect normal tissue and potentiate the destruction of cancer cells'. Yet, conventional physicians continue to spread this harmful, ignorant myth. It stems in part from an entrenched bias against nutritional supplements. But is also arises from the common belief that chemotherapeutic drugs kill cancer cells by inflicting oxidative, or free radical, damage. However, according to Jeanne Drisko, MD, a researcher and faculty member at the University of Kansas School of Medicine, the latest research shows that chemo actually works in a different way. Cancer cells override the signals that control normal growth. As a result, they reproduce uncontrollably, fail to differentiate or mature into specialized cells, and refuse to self-destruct when they are diseased or damaged (a process called aptosis). Chemotherapy drugs simply activate the self-signaling systems that promote aptosis, causing cancer cells to 'commit suicide'. Dr. Drisko has tested the concurrent use of one of the most popular antioxidants, vitamin C, with virtually every chemotherapeutic agent out there, and it did not reduce the effectiveness of the drugs in a single case. There is no downside to taking supplements while undergoing chemotherapy, but there is a tremendous upside. The immune systems of cancer patients are highly compromised, and a majority of them suffer with malnutrition. Antioxidants and other vitamins and minerals restore deficiencies in essential nutrients and stimulate the production of activity of T cells, natural killer cells, and other key players in immunity. Furthermore, they have direct anti-tumor effects and protect against the toxic effects of conventional cancer treatment. This is another example of how medical beliefs and practices are often generated out of plain ignorance. " ......I had a client once who had esophageal cancer and decided to go ahead with the chemo and radiation. She too had been told to avoid all supplementation and wanted to know what she could do to avoid debilitating side-effects. I suggested she try taking Dynamite Catalyst Water every day since it has the ability to aid the body in maintaining a balanced pH. Turns out she sailed through her treatment with NO side-effects whatsoever! However, the news above could certainly aid many even more, especially if you add plenty of Hiscorbadyne to your Dynamite basics. The added nutrients actually protect against most cancers anyway. For another approach to cancer treatment, you might just check out my testimonial in our June 2006 Newsletter, too. Point to Ponder #2 - Aspartame for Ants http://www.mercola. com/2006/sep/5/got_an_ant_problem_use_aspartame.htm For all the dire health problems associated with aspartame -- the worst of them being cancer -- the original "anything-but-sugar" substitute may have an ideal purpose to exist, not as a food additive, but as an ant poison Already aware of aspartame's origins as a toxic chemical, a health-conscious consumer with an ant problem emptied one packet of aspartame in the corner of each of her bathrooms two years ago. The "sweet" solution worked brilliantly, as she's seen no signs of carpenter ants crawling around for the past year. Aspartame may be just the thing for getting rid of fire ants (impervious to many poisons) too, although this solution takes a bit more effort. Initially, fire ants ignored their aspartame treat until a light rain moistened it. After the rain, however, the fire ants came back with a vengeance, taking the aspartame back to the mound by the hundreds. Within two days, any evidence that fire ants existed at all, save for an empty mound, vanished. No mystery aspartame works like a pesticide, as the asparctic acid contained in this toxic product is a well-documented excitotoxin that causes specific brain cells to become excessively excited to the point they quickly die, just as both kinds of ants did. Makes you wonder if aspartame is a far safer, better alternative to getting rid of lawn and home pests than the average toxic pesticides found at your neighborhood hardware store ... If you ever wanted a painless way to find out all the dangers of aspartame you will certainly want to view Sweet Misery. If you are a natural health care practitioner you might want to consider showing this in your reception area. Idaho Observer June 2006 ...... is this REALLY want you and your kids to be drinking in those "diet" sodas or eating in a misplaced effort to diet?

Point to Ponder #3 - GM Foods http://www.mercola. com/2006/sep/5/secrets_in_your_food.htm Most Americans are already eating genetically modified food, even though they may have no idea that they are doing so. Despite continuing criticism from those concerned about the possible health effects, 75 percent of all processed food in the United States now contains ingredients from genetically modified crops. Anti-genetic food protesters have argued that the food industry is "serving up new and inadequately tested combinations of DNA never before eaten by human beings," and questioning why, if the food is completely safe, it isn't labeled. Polls have shown that most Americans want genetically modified food to be labeled, but the grocery industry worries that this might scare away customers. Some facts about genetically modified food: * The majority of corn and soy products are genetically modified. * There are no genetically modified meat, poultry, or dairy products currently on the market. A biotech salmon is being developed but hasn't been approved yet. * Genetically modified rice intended for animals has found its way into the human food supply. ABC News August 21, 2006 Dr. Mercola's Comment: Even if some Americans are getting wiser about GM foods, they're certainly having a tougher time avoiding them at their neighborhood grocery store. When 75 percent of all processed foods manufactured in America have ingredients originating from GM crops, and those foods are not labeled as such, avoiding GM foods becomes a tricky business indeed. The fact of the matter is, GM crops have not been proven safe, no matter what their proponents say. The regulatory framework governing them was designed to expedite product approval at the expense of safety considerations. The regulations use a principal called 'substantial equivalence,' which is intentionally vague and ill-defined. It essentially gives companies complete license to claim that transgenic products are 'substantially equivalent' to non-transgenic products, and hence 'safe.' There have been very few credible studies on GM food safety. And what findings there are already give cause for concern. In one of the few systematic investigations on GM food ever carried out, 'growth factor-like' effects were found in the stomach and small intestine of young rats that ate GM plants. And there have been other studies that also raised serious safety concerns. GM foods are basically a non-voluntary experiment on the earth's biosphere and the whole of the human race. If, like me, you don't particularly want to find out what the effects may be on your body, here's a list of quick tips to help you steer clear of GM products for good: * Examine produce stickers on the fruits and vegetables you buy. The PLU code for conventionally grown fruit consists of four numbers, organically grown fruit has five numbers prefaced by the number nine, and GM fruit has five numbers prefaced by the number eight. * Buy organic produce as often as you can. By definition, food that is certified organic must be free from all GM organisms. * Don't be concerned whole foods are more expensive than processed foods, because they aren't. * Stay away from processed foods. ...... and for those who can, grow your own foods from organic or heirloom seed and fertilize only with your own compost and Dynamite fertilizers.

God is sitting in Heaven when a scientist says to Him, "Lord, we don't need you anymore. Science has finally figured out a way to create life out of nothing. In other words, we can now do what you did in the 'beginning'." "Oh, is that so? Tell me..." replies God. "Well", says the scientist, "we can take dirt and form it into the likeness of you and breathe life into it, thus creating man." "Well, that's interesting. Show Me." So the scientist bends down to the earth and starts to mold the soil. "Oh no, no, no..." interrupts God, "Get your own dirt." Words of Wisdom 2 - A Pittance of Time (Thanks, Gabi!) Please click here to link to a website ( that contains one of the most powerful songs and videos I have heard or seen. It is called "A Pittance of Time" and it sent chills through me! The story of how the song came about is right there on the Home Page. To listen to the song or watch the video, simply click on the appropriate button on the left side menu. Please have a little patience as it does take the video a few minutes to download but believe me, it is well worth the "pittance of time!"
