The Miracle of Life…Bottled

Can You Really Get Your Body to Become Your Doctor?

At a time such as right now, with seemingly every other person suffering some kind of disease, is this just wishful thinking?

I know it works, as I went through this myself fighting terminal cancer 30 years ago, traveling around the world to find a way to heal myself, when doctors couldn’t. I was the guinea pig to find out what the body needs, every minute to overcome disease.

Back then, I wasn’t into alternative medicine at all. I was an analyst working for major corporations, solving complex problems when I suddenly came down with cancer and given just six months to live. Even the doctors said that chemo and radiation would not work.

I literally turned my life upside down and decided to spend this last six months they gave me and search for an answer. I had nothing else to do!

Obviously, I did indeed find an answer.

Like a dogged detective, I followed very hint and clue to overcoming the cancer. I went to India, Pakistan and Hunza, Bhutan and Tibet, South Korea and China. Peru, Ecuador and Brazil. Places where they follow centuries old philosophies and herbal remedies that lift people up high above disease, to a place where they find Health Beyond Disease.

I sought out places where people lived long, long lives, disease free, believing they must know something that could possibly help me.

All along this road to recovery, I unearthed truly amazing things, incredible facts about how to trigger the body to overcome anything and defeat any disease.

I Kept Asking Myself, “Why Don’t Doctors Tell Us This”?

Along this long (and at times lonely road) I had incredible learning experiences and developed friendships with amazing healing masters, who shared their wisdom and knowledge with me.

I found what I think is the answer to all health and healing and happiness. I learned how to literally trigger the body to become The Doctor of Our Own Body.

You can get off dangerous pharmaceutical drugs and return to the abundant health of your birth, your youth at the very first fresh new day that you arrived, with everything working a maximum potential.

The Body As Doctor philosophy is a profound change of attitude in generating a life force, free of disease and infirmity.

This knowledge, these things, these gifts from the Universe that I was given, are in all our formulas, and are the very core of our Miracle of Life nutraceutical formula. And that is this philosophy that every single person on this planet needs to understand.

The most fabled place I went to was to the Okinawan islands in the Sea of Japan. These people do live seemingly forever! And it’s been chronicled in a landmark research study, The Okinawa Program. Everyone should read this book.

In Okinawa, the occurrence of heart disease is one fifth that of America. The rate of breast, ovarian and prostate cancers is less than a quarter of American levels. And the number of centenarians is six times that of the United States!

Most important, Okinawans have the world’s longest disability-free life expectancy.

If Americans lived more like the Okinawans, 80 percent of the nation’s coronary care units, a third of the cancer clinics and a vast majority of nursing homes would go out of business.

What Do They Do, That We Don’t?

They use the Body As Doctor philosophy every single day. The common denominator of all the places I went to where longevity was commonplace and accepted, the people consumed continual amounts of amazing compounds in their drink and their food.

These compounds, I subsequently found, were the basis for all life. By consuming them daily, the body was able to achieve its true genetic potential.

In Hunzaland, in Okinawa, in the Vilcabamba of Ecuador, in the Caucasian mountains of Georgia, everyone consumes large quantities of Trace Minerals. In Hunzaland they call it Glacier Milk or the Milk of Mother Earth.

What I found through my studies was that the body is made up of organs that are miniature factories, orchestrating the operation of every cell in our body. In every instance, the foreman of each factory, of each organ, is one or more minerals. Without the foreman (the mineral) being there, the factory workers – the vitamins, amino acids, proteins, carbohydrates, enzymes – don’t know what to do.

The lack of trace minerals is where disease gets its start!

Imagine a Life without Disease

For many years, I have wanted to create a nutritional formula integrating all of the wisdom the ancient healers shared with me.

The idea for it came from a period of deep contemplation and Eastern meditation using principles and techniques I learned while in the high mountain village of Shimla in northern India and at the Drum Mountain Monastery outside of Shanghai, China.

The body needs 76 minerals and trace minerals. This is the genetic code of all life and I recommend everyone to take a teaspoon of our super-concentrated Life Transfusion Liquid Mineral Complex every day.

But that’s just the start. I wanted a formula that would leverage the power of trace minerals to support every single cell in the body, from enhancing memory and concentration to boosting the body’s own immune system response, detoxifying cells and deliverying all-day energy. I wanted to share the ultimate Longevity formula.

Miracle of Life – the Name Says It All!

Miracle of Life is the crystallization of all my work in promoting Contagious Health these past 30 years.

Electronically charged, ionic trace minerals are the foundation for all true health and longevity. They dramatically increase the cellular absorption of the natural compounds in Miracle of Life.

The ingredients list reads like a Who’s Who of revered chinese and ayurvedic herbs like Ashwagandha, Holy Basil, Ginkgo Biloba, Ginseng, Green Tea, Chlorella, Resveratrol and much more.

1000 Year-Old Japanese Blood Pressure Secret‏

More than 20 years ago, I learned about the amazing powers of a Japanese food called Natto, that looks and tastes like cheese. It’s made by adding spores of the beneficial bacteria Bacillus natto to boiled soybeans.

The Japanese have been eating Natto for at least 1,000 years. The average per capita annual consumption in Japan is nearly 4.5 pounds. That’s a lot!

This natural food works like a Roto Rooter to unclog arteries, clearing out the plaque buildup in arterial walls, improving blood circulation and lowering blood pressure, as the arteries regain flexibility.

There’s a specialized enzyme in Natto, called Nattokinase, and it is this enzyme that’s emerging as one of the most dramatic breakthroughs for supporting healthy circulation and lowering blood pressure. Read my article, What is Nattokinase?, if you want to know more about the discovery and science behind this amazing nutrient.

I have been using it with heart patients for over 20 years. The very first one was Carl Crawford. His wife Annette called me as Carl was experiencing chest pains when working outside and tired all the time. His doctor found that all three arteries supplying blood to the heart had clogged up!

We developed a program to reverse Carl’s clogged arteries, naturally, without surgery or dangerous drugs! I think you’ll enjoy reading their story.

Nattokinase Helped Carl Bypass a Bypass

My husband Carl had 100% blockage in two main arteries and the other was 60% blocked! Carl started to have chest pains when working in the yard or out in the cold and he was very tired all the time.

The doctor ordered a heart catheterization and found that all three arteries had clogged up, two were 100% totally clogged, and the other had over 60% blockage. Carl’s cholesterol level was over 600. (no, this is not a misprint) and his triglycerides were 1,233! (again, not a misprint.)

Carl had a triple by-pass operation 13 years before and wasn’t about to go through it all over again, as the pain nearly killed him the first time. So, the doctor put a stent into the one artery with only 60% blockage and said that was all he could do for Carl.

We were both desperate to do something more. That’s when it hit me – call Wayne Garland. He had done so much for us and others over the years with his formulas.

I dug up his number and called him out of the blue. He said he had a program for Carl that would de-clog his arteries, get his cholesterol down and also shed the pounds of extra weight, so his heart would work easier. And get this, with NO DRUGS OR SURGERY!

Wayne’s program was simple, but it completely changed Carl’s diet:

No Meat, Big Macs or Fried Chicken or pizza

No Dairy of any kind – No milk, cheese, butter or ice cream

No white sugar or white, bleached flour

The foods we ate were fresh, a wide variety and all vegetarian; we had lots of salads, lightly steamed vegetables with virgin Olive oil and lemon dressing and soups. Wayne’s Miracle Potassium Broth soup was eaten nearly every day with Flax seed oil stirred into it.

Carl also started taking Wayne’s Life Transfusion Liquid Minerals with high Magnesium to help Carl’s heart beat easier and to dissolve the Calcium in the arteries and the Cholesteine formula to bring down his cholesterol levels.

After one week, we went back to check the stent with the heart doctor and Carl’s cholesterol dropped nearly 400 points to 221! (not a misprint) His triglycerides were now 504. In just one week!

The doctor couldn’t believe it. We were thrilled to say the least.

The program meant lots of walking too, slowly at first but Carl quickly got up to the target of 45 minutes a day.

We checked his blood pressure and pulse continually and these came down too, like magic. His blood pressure fell from 145 to 105 and his cholesterol kept falling like a stone. It is now down to 154 and the triglycerides are down to 235.

Carl’s doctor just kept shaking his head and saying, “whatever it is that you’re doing, keep it up, it’s working.”

Wayne also put him on an incredible soybean paste with honey called Nattokinase that they use in Japan for all artery blockages.

Carl’s weight dropped fast. Pounds just came off, to the point that I had to take-in all his clothes as they just hung on him like a scarecrow. He’s out doing yard-work again, on his treadmill every day and full of energy. It’s just amazing to see the difference in him.

We thank God for Wayne’s guidance and caring enough to show us the true way to a healthier life, free of disease.

p.s. Two of our friends are on the program too and seeing the same drastic changes in their cholesterol, weight and blood pressure.

Our Blood is the River of Life

Healthy blood flow affects your circulation, blood pressure, and entire body. Our blood delivers nutrients and oxygen to every cell in your body, carries antibodies where needed, sends the heat in your body out to your skin, and excretes waste products from your body. You cannot be healthy without a healthy blood flow.

Unfortunately as we age, the enzymes our body needs decline, including those that facilitate healthy blood flow by supporting normal clotting. That’s why Nattokinase, with its ability to help promote healthy circulation, is such a miracle breakthrough.

It works in your blood vessels to support normal blood flow. And unlike taking drugs and blood thinners, Nattokinase is working to address the problem, not treat the symptoms.

Get yourself a bottle today!

CAUTION: Do not take this product if you are taking blood-thinning drugs like Coumadin (Warfarin.) If you are pregnant or lactating, consult your health care professional before taking this product.

If you know someone with high cholesterol or has been diagnosed with clogged arteries, download my eBook, Kill Cholesterol Before Cholesterol Kills You, that has saved many people’s lives without drugs or surgery – it might just save yours too!

Annette Knocked OUT Her Arthritis Pain

For years I have had increasingly severe arthritis pain in my fingers. It had gotten so bad that I could not straighten them. I also was experiencing neuropathy in my feet with severe burning. This led to me taking more and more pain killers, which just wasn’t working!

I talked to Wayne Garland, and he advised the Structural Lubrication and the Ageless Anti-Inflammatory formulas, in addition to the Life Transfusion, which I was already taking.

I cannot believe how I have improved in such a short time! My fingers are limber again and I can walk without pain.

Thank you Wayne Garland, for the wonderful care you give all of us!

Give Arthritis Pain the Slip!

Do you know there are over 300 “types” of arthritic pain? It’s an epidemic, with one out of two people experiencing severe arthritis pain in their lifetime.

More than twenty years ago now, while studying Arthritis in all its various forms, I heard about the work of a doctor at a clinic in California by the name of Dr. Robert Bingham, who felt that all forms of arthritis started with poor nutrition.

It was Dr. Bingham who first sold me on the power of magnesium to the body. He felt that the medical world and the media were overselling calcium, when magnesium was the mineral the body really needed more of. He was also the first to passionately advocate high levels of daily sunshine for vitamin D production in the body.

Oh, how times have changed! Magnesium is now at the forefront of all bone science and vitamin D is being hailed as the “Miracle Sunshine Vitamin”, as nearly all chronic diseases are associated with vitamin D deficiency.

Imagine if you had all of this Arthritis wisdom available to you every second of every day? Without having to leave your home or desk? Imagine no more, we have it.

Read on to discover how you can rid yourself of arthritic pain once and for all.

How Do We Get Arthritis?

There are 3 “types” of Arthritis that are typically experienced by most people:

1. Osteoarthritis – a progressive disease that comes with aging. It can begin at the sight of previous injury. In some cases, arthritis, known as “Reactive Arthritis” can be brought on by other causes, including:

Bladder Infections
Sexually Transmitted Diseases
Severe Illness (such as a viral or bacterial infection)
Vaccines

2. Rheumatoid Arthritis – (RA) is the second most common type of arthritis. It is in fact a type of autoimmune disease in which the body attacks tissues in the joints.

If you have another autoimmune disease, such as Lupus, Hashimoto’s disease, or Multiple Sclerosis, you are at a high risk to develop RA.

Autoimmune disorders cause a response in immune cells to attack connective tissues, even in the major organs of the body. This attacks the lining of the joints, which leads to Rheumatoid Arthritis. Nearly 1.5 million people now have RA.

3. Gout – The third most common type of arthritis is gout, a condition caused by uric acid deposits in the joints. This crystallization makes it difficult for bones to move, and is extremely painful, even for the affected area to be touched!

The Arthritis Foundation estimates that four percent of American adults develop gout, primarily in their middle ages. Gout is attributed to an increase of uric acid in the blood often contributed by dietary factors. Obesity-related conditions can also increase your risk for high uric acid and gout. Signs of gout start in the toes, but may spread to other joints in the body.

Foods to Eat to Beat Inflammation

What you eat – or don’t eat – can make a difference. Here are some foods to think twice about, as they could provoke inflammation, while others could help relieve arthritis pain. Click Here for the 14 Best Foods for Rheumatoid Arthritis Relief!

Foods that Increase Inflammation:

Red Meat
Sugar/Refined Flour
Fried Foods
Gluten
Alcohol
Processed Foods

Foods that Decrease Inflammation & Arthritis Pain:

Kale
Carrots
Salmon
Sweet Potatoes
Flax Seeds
Green Tea

Blueberry Muesli

Serves 4

I don’t know anyone who doesn’t love blueberries! If you can find them growing wild in the forest, even better! This recipe is more like granola, as Muesli is traditionally soaked in liquid (milk or water) overnight.

Ingredients
1 1/2 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
1/2 cup dried apples, chopped
2 tsp. ground cinnamon
2 cups blueberries (preferably wild)
3 Tbsp. pure maple syrup
Apple juice or water, to serve

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 325°F.
2. Mix oats, maple syrup, and cinnamon in a bowl.
3. Spread mixture evenly onto a non-stick baking tray.
4. Toast oat mixture in preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Watch mixture very closely when toasting to not burn.
5. Remove from oven and let cool. Pour into a large bowl and stir in chopped walnuts and dried apples.
6. Divide mixture into serving bowls and top with blueberries. Serve with apple juice.

Did you know?
Eating blueberries with dairy milk has been shown to block their antioxidant capacity, which is why this is served with apple juice or water instead of milk. (Although you could substitute any plant-based milk like almond, flax, hemp, soy, coconut, etc.)

In a recent study, volunteers were given 200 grams (7 ounces) of blueberries with either 200 ml (0.8 cups) of water or 200 ml cow’s milk. Those who consumed blueberries with water had a significant increase in their plasma antioxidant capacity. Interestingly, this effect was not found in those volunteers who ingested blueberries with milk. The study authors believe that the ability of milk to impair the antioxidant powers of blueberries may be a result of the affinity of blueberries for milk protein.

Give Arthritis the Slip – Literally!

For over 20 years now, we have been helping people fight all forms of Arthritis, including associated conditions such as Multiple Sclerosis and Lupus. We get exceptional results, particularly with the use of powerful ionic mineral compounds and anti-inflammatory herbs.

Diet and exercise changes are crucial. Total elimination of all dairy is a must. Did you know countries with the highest consumption of milk, cheese, ice cream and butter also have the highest levels of osteoporosis and arthritis?

	We start with our best selling Structural Lubrication formula. One of the first signs of aging is painful joints, knees, hips or lower back pain. None of this need happen. Our body is designed to handle aging, BUT it needs the resources to do this. As we age, we need to keep our skeletal system “lubricated’ so bone on bone degradation does not occur. This amazing formula triggers the body to increase production of vital “Synovial Fluid” the body’s own lubricating fluid and thus stop bone and joint degradation.
	Inflammation is normally a good thing, enabling our bodies to ward off disease-causing bacteria and viruses, such as when we catch a cold or the flu, or get a splinter in our finger. However an overactive inflammatory response may contribute to a number medical disorders, including the symptoms of aging. Age-Less Anti-Inflammatory contains a potent blend of herbs like Holy Basil and Turmeric as well as anti-aging compounds to promote a healthy inflammatory response in the body. Age-Less can be used daily for the support of vascular and general health, or occasionally to alleviate aches and pains.
	Our Ultra D3 formula is without a doubt the most powerful and synergistic Vitamin D formulation available, combining high potency vitamin D with vitamin K, along with co-factors Magnesium, Boron, Zinc, Trace Minerals and Beta Carotene, the precursor to vitamin A, to deliver incredible synergistic benefits ranging from building strong bones, improving cardiovascular health and antioxidant protection. Vitamin D is what “turns on” the switch so that calcium becomes usable by the bones. For those with Rheumatoid Arthritis, which is an autoimmune disease, the D3 also “turns on” the t-cells in our body – the front-line soldiers in our “Immune System Army”.
	No matter how well you eat, you simply cannot get the minerals your body needs. Minerals run every organ in the body. They make your heart beat, your brain think, your lungs pump, your pancreas function, they make bones and new hair, skin, nails. Minerals build the immune system, control insulin and much, much more. Minerals come in many forms; colloidal, coral, chelated and finally ionic minerals. Only ionic minerals conduct electricity, and Life Transfusion Ionic Liquid Mineral Complex comes from a special ionic-form, purified sea water source, containing 76 minerals, identical to the chemical composition of pure blood.

Dynamic Duo to fight Arthritis Pain!

George Burns, the famous comedian, was once asked by Larry King in an interview if he had ever had arthritis? “Oh, yes, I was the first to get it,” Burns replied.

A funny joke, but in actual fact, Arthritis is possibly the world’s oldest disease. It has a myriad of forms and all are deadly, even fatal such as Rheumatoid Arthritis.

The Arthritis Foundation tells us that over 100 million Americans of all ages, even young children, suffer from Arthritis. That’s one out of every two people!

For over 20 years now, we have been helping people with joint pain and discomfort associated with arthritis, including related inflammatory conditions like Multiple Sclerosis and Lupus.

We see exceptional results starting with simple dietary changes, powerful ionic trace minerals, all-natural anti-inflammatory herbs and daily exercise. Eliminating dairy is an easy first step. Did you know countries with the highest consumption of milk, cheese, ice cream and butter also have the highest levels of osteoporosis and arthritis? Visit www.NotMilk.com to learn more.

Recently we uncovered research on an all-natural compound called Celadrin® that promises to rewrite the history books in the fight against all forms of Arthritis. Without dangerous drug side-effects. I won’t bore you with the scientific details behind this amazing compound here, but if you want to know more, read the article, How Celadrin Works.

So of course we added Celadin to our best selling Structural Lubrication formulation.

Give Arthritis the Slip – Literally!

The name says it all! Structural Lubrication is a lubricant for joints! Like a rusty machine that gets some needed oil, everything starts working – exactly as it was intended. Structural Lubrication includes Celadrin and many more amazing natural compounds, supporting the body in making the lubricant our bones and joints need.

“I dislocated my hip when I was 10 years old. The doctors told me I would get bursitis and then arthritis. They were right.

By the time I was 38, I was in constant pain. 15 years ago, I started taking Structural Lubrication and Bone Density. Within 3 months I was PAIN FREE! I went back to the doctor and they said the bursitis was GONE – all without using pharmaceutical drugs!”

"I was a painkiller junkie"

“It was my first day at the Peachford rehab clinic for addiction to the prescription painkiller tramadol. I wound up spending 72 hours detoxing in a sparse room where everything but a Bible was bolted to the floor. The blinds were drawn tight against the sun — which, along with just about everything else, inexplicably offended me to the point of tears.”
Kim, prescription painkiller addict

A staggering 15 million Americans are dependent upon and/or abusing painkillers, especially Oxycontin, the #1 prescribed painkiller (often referred to as “Hillybilly Heroin”.)

This is MORE than the number of all people reported to be abusing cocaine, hallucinogens, inhalants and heroin combined!

In 2009, prescription painkillers were responsible for more than 15,500 drug overdose deaths.
Source: CDC Vital Signs

Michael Jackson was so addicted to prescription pain medication that he was unable to sleep without something stronger – and his doctor finally gave in and administered propofol – a drug used as general anesthesia for people who are undergoing surgery for goodness sakes!

The unfortunate reality is that at some point, your body builds up a resistance to the painkillers and they stop working, forcing you to take more or get something stronger, creating a vicious and dangerous cycle of addiction.

Of course Mother Nature can help you break this cycle.

We’re in a Nationwide Prescription Painkiller Crisis
Every single day, prescription pain medication overdoses account for more than 100 deaths in the United States.

This has to stop!

The misuse and abuse of prescription painkillers was responsible for more than 475,000 emergency room visits in 2009, nearly double in just five years.

Things are so out of control Dr. Oz devoted an entire TV episode about a small town in Ohio where, since the late 1990’s, an epidemic of prescription drug abuse has become so rampant, Hepatitis C, drug related deaths, robberies, murder and drug-addicted babies have become the norm!

Found – The Keys to a Longer Life

Transform your life with ENZYMES!

Researchers estimate that up to 30% of Americans suffer from an affliction known as Leaky Gut Syndrome (just the phrase causes my stomach to turn a little), and as much as 90% of all chronic symptoms and chronic conditions are linked to it.

Leaky Gut almost always goes undiagnosed. Ailments like arthritis, diabetes, asthma, chronic fatigue, inability to lose weight are all related in part with poor or declining gut health.

Could this be happening inside of you without you even knowing about it?

There is simple remedy for Leaky Gut and the myriad of ailments it causes. Read on for the closest thing we’ve found to the discovery of the Fountain of Youth, that could just possibly heal your entire digestive tract!

Enzymes are the Building Blocks of Life

Enzymes are the building blocks of life itself. They help us to see, hear, feel, move, digest, think and heal. Enzymes assist the body in breaking down food, providing the body with life-giving fuel.

Secreted by the pancreas, production of these vital enzymes decline as we age, diminishing the ability of our digestive tract to break down and extract nutrients from the food we eat.

Traditional Chinese Medicine teaches that lack of stomach chi (energy), leads to increased disease, fatigue and aging. Without enzymes, a person’s stomach chi becomes dangerously low.

As you might suspect, processed foods are devoid of life-giving enzymes. This is one of the reasons why I rail against the Standard American Diet of fast-food and sugary sodas! Adding enzymes to your diet every day allows you to nourish your digestive system and avoid chronic conditions associated with leaky gut.

Dr. Edward Howell pioneered the use of plant-based enzymes to prevent disease, teaching science that all disease (including the dreaded Leaky Gut Syndrome) is nothing more than the lack or imbalance of enzymes.

"God calls me friend"

Nearly thirty years ago now (but a heartbeat away in real time), I asked God in a prayer that if he would give me a second chance at life and help me beat cancer, I would do anything for Him whenever he ever asked.

I got “the call” when I met one of his tireless, inexhaustible angels in Ellason Castiglione. She came into my life through her non-denominational ministry called “Clean Heart Ministries” where she helps anyone who crosses her path.

As a minister and motivational speaker, Ellason spends a lot of time on her feet, but as far back as she can remember, she has suffered from chronic pain and a lack of energy. When we first met, she was having injections into her knees to relieve the pain due to lost cartilage.

Now, not quite a year later, Ellason is pain-free and with more energy than she can ever remember having. Click play on the video below and allow Ellason tell you how it happened.

My name is Ellason Castiglione

For many years, I suffered with joint pain, chronic fatigue, and fibromyalgia. In my younger years, I was never as energetic as the other kids on my block. I have fought fatigue since I can remember. In addition, I have no cartilage in my knees and had to have injections to enable me to walk without severe pain. Three years ago, I had my foot operated on and the bones never healed. I could hardly walk at times and I was frantic because I am a motivational speaker and must stand for hours to deliver my message.

Milk does NOT do a Body Good!

Did you know milk and arthritis pain are directly associated?
How about milk and fibromyalgia?

Today’s Health Alert comes to us from Dr. Sunny Kierstyn, a Chiropractic Physician and founder of the Fibromyalgia Care Center in Eugene, OR. Dr. Kierstyn has documented a 70% decrease in PAIN in her patients within a few weeks of eliminating dairy.

If you have any doubt at all that milk and dairy products can really be linked to pain in your body, take Dr. Kierstyn’s No Dairy Challenge (instructions below) and document your experience. I have no doubt you will be amazed at the results!

Please forward today’s Health Alert to anyone you know who still consumes dairy (especially whey protein powders) and urge them to switch to delicious and healthy plant-based alternatives.

Milk Does NOT Do a Body Good!
by Dr. Sunny Kierstyn
Fibromyalgia Care Center of Oregon
Reprinted with permission from Robert Cohen’s NOTMILK column, March 8, 2011.

America has had a love affair with the juices from a cow since the wagon trains came west. When mom died, Dad could feed the munchkin cow’s milk and the child would appear to thrive. Today, a hundred and fifty years later, Americans consume milk and dairy products in record numbers – in a dozen+ varieties, upwards of a half a dozen times or more a day – for decades through their lives.

During my years as a Chiropractic Physician, at the second visit of each patient, I have been collecting food surveys designed to seek out the overt and covert ways people consume dairy containing foods. Ten years worth of these surveys have shown us that, on the average, Americans put some form of dairy foods in their body three to eight times a day! That’s a lot of cow juice.

So what is so wrong with that? Research about cow’s milk shows that it is designed to grow a 600 pound, breedable animal within fifteen months of time. That’s A LOT of calories and hormones and proteins.

So what is wrong with that? What’s wrong with that is that humans were never meant to drink the milk of another species and certainly not for prolonged times, such as decades! What’s wrong with it is that we are finding out that those proteins cause disease.

What diseases?
Numerous diseases are known to stem from and/or be seriously (negatively) influenced by dairy consumption: acne, ADD (plus a variety of other behavioral problems), arthritis, PAIN (any PAIN problem), asthma, allergies, Alzheimer’s, anemia, bed wetting, bone disease, PAIN, bowel function, breast cancer, brucellosis, cholesterol and liver problems, colic, colds, congestive conditions, Crohn’s disease, PAIN, Diabetes (both juvenile and adult), depression, dioxin poisoning, early maturity, fibroids, fibromyalgia, PAIN, endometriosis, hormonal imbalances, headaches, heartburn, infertility, kidney stones, lymphoma, lactose intolerances, leukemia, lungworms, ALS (any autoimmune disease), PAIN, mucus problems, migraines, mood swings, MS, nasal dysfunctions, obesity, osteoporosis, ovarian cysts, PAIN, prostate problems (both enlargement and cancer), PAIN, rheumatoid arthritis, salmonella, sinus conditions, skin conditions, stroke, PAIN, stomach aches, SIDS, tuberculosis, the terrible twos, uterine cancer, colon cancer, PAIN, ovarian cancer, etc., etc., etc.
