What's for dinner – Antibiotics!

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) admitted last month during Congressional testimony that the overuse of antibiotics in cows, chickens, pigs and other animals is leading to new strains of antibiotic-resistant “super bugs”.

“(The) USDA believes that it is likely that the use of antibiotics in animal agriculture does lead to some cases of antibacterial resistance among humans and in the animals themselves and it is important that these medically important antibiotics be used judiciously,”

said Dr. John Clifford, USDA Deputy Administrator for Veterinary Services, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, in written testimony before the House Committee on Energy and Commerce’s Subcommittee on Health Hearing on Antibiotic Use in Animal Agriculture.

We’ve reached the tipping point and antibiotics are now in our food supply, on your table for tonight’s meal most likely, or in that hamburger you grabbed for a quick lunch break.

According to a new study from the Union for Concerned Scientists, meat producers feed some 25 million pounds of antibiotics to chickens, pigs and cows for non-therapeutic purposes each year.

Stated another way, the amount of antibiotics fed to healthy animals is eight times greater than the amount given to sick people, which is 3 million pounds per year.

Eight Times More!

Famous newscaster killed by Calcium supplement?

Tim Russert’s death two years ago, June 2008, at just 58 years of age was deeply unsettling to many people who, like him, had been earnestly following their doctors’ advice on drugs, diet, nutrition and exercise in hopes of avoiding a heart attack.

I don’t know about you but I’m pretty sure you find Sunday mornings and “Meet the Press” just aren’t quite the same without his beaming face bringing us the inside stories of what is “really happening” in the corridors of power in Washington.

Just this month, a major research report came out that chillingly echoed the autopsy results into Tim Russert’s death.

If you’re taking a calcium supplement or know someone who is, read and forward today’s important Health Alert.

Excess Calcium could be Killing You

What killed Mr. Russert was a “plaque” rupture. A fatty, pimple-like lesion of plaque composed of fats, cholesterol and CALCIUM, residing in a coronary artery. The lesion burst and as the body attempted to repair it, a blood clot formed which blocked circulation to part of his heart muscle, causing a heart attack.

Unfortunately heart attacks happen all the time in the United States, impacting 1.2 million American’s each year, killing nearly one-half at of all sufferers.

In Mr. Russert’s case, the heart attack led to a second catastrophe, an abnormal heart rhythm that caused cardiac arrest and quickly killed him. An electric shock from a defibrillator might have restarted his heart if it had been given promptly when he collapsed at his desk. But it was apparently, tragically delayed.

A new meta-analysis research study published in the British Medical Journal on July 29th (just last week) proves that when calcium is taken alone, without it’s “partner” biofactors, the calcium accumulates in your arteries, increasing your risk of heart attack!

A CT scan of Mr Russert’s coronary arteries showed a dangerously high calcium score of 210, indicating artery disease. Healthy arteries do not have calcium deposits! Instead, the calcium is inside the bone marrow factory, where it should be, busy making strong bones, teeth, tendons, ligaments and muscles.

Major Study: 30% Greater Risk of Heart Attack

The new study, led by Professor Ian Reid at the University of Auckland, is a meta-analysis of 15 randomized trials on calcium supplements conducted in the last twenty years, with the aim to investigate the links between calcium supplementation and cardiovascular events.

From analyzing the data on 12,000 people involved in the 15 trials, the researchers found that calcium supplements actually increased the risk of myocardial infarctions (heart attacks) by 30 percent!

No wonder heart disease is our number one killer – we are killing ourselves when we think we’re saving ourselves!

Macular Degeneration – or Macular Re-Generation?

Ninety (90%) percent of what we learn in our lifetime comes from what we see through our eyes.

Losing one’s eyesight is a frightening possibility for over 60% of the population. With more and more “baby boomers” moving into the retirement stage of life, this problem is alarming in its proportions and its implications.

If a friend or a loved one has Macular Degeneration or is at risk of losing their eyesight, please share today’s article and video with them.

There is hope for this tragic disease.

Nearly 18 Million Will Have Macular Degeneration by 2050

A photo of an eye exam with an older womanIn a study funded by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, researchers report that as many as 9.1 million people will have age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in 2010, and nearly double this number at 17.8 million people, will have the potentially blinding eye disease by 2050.

“What we found is that due to aging, the number of cases of early and advanced AMD will increase dramatically no matter what,” said study author David Rein, PhD, senior research economist from RTI International in Research Triangle Park, N.C. “In 2050, we project there will be 1.57 million cases of blindness [caused by AMD] with no treatment. But, with vigorous treatment, that number’s just about 1 million.”

Age-related macular degeneration is a serious eye disease that causes the breakdown of the macula, which is located in the retina. The macula gives you clear central vision, which is essential for reading and driving, even for just seeing people’s faces. AMD is a leading cause of vision loss in people over 65, according to the American Academy of Ophthalmologists (AAO).

Nutritional therapy can benefit sufferers of Macular Degeneration

Macular Degeneration is caused by “exploding cells” within the retina. Cells that are literally falling apart from free radical damage. Drugs can’t fight this cellular breakdown, but Superfoods and Antioxidants can!

This science of fighting free radicals is something we specialize in, as it is the core of all our cancer protocols, because cellular breakdown is the initial cause of all forms of cancer.

The lead researchers stated that if people would take these simple antioxidants and minerals, it could prevent vision loss in 300,000 people over the next five years.

So what we did is take this knowledge and then take all the free-radical fighting Superfood Antioxidant compounds we knew of that were specifically targeted to the eyes, and put them into a special Macular Degeneration Formula called appropriately enough Vision Support.

"This stuff is dynamite!" – Amy Wolfe

An image of Age-Less Rx anti-inflammatory nutritional supplement bottle
Retail: $38.95
Preferred: $26.97

Last month we introduced an extraordinary new formula called Age-Less Rx, that we think has the capability to “turn back the hands of time,” by lowering inflammation at the cellular level.

Our news report Inflammation: The Secret Killer, shares an in-depth analysis about chronic inflammation and how it may be the engine that drives many of the most feared illnesses of middle and old age. If you missed the article, I urge you click on the link above and take a few minutes right now to read it.

In last Friday’s newsletter, “Dr. Adaptogenics will see you now” we introduced you to the lead ingredient in Age-Less Rx, Holy Basil, revered throughout India, the East and Ayurvedic medicine for its extensive adaptogenic powers.

We are so excited about what this formula can do, that when Amy’s email came in, we just had to share it with everyone!

Dear Dr. Garland,

I’ve been taking your new Age-Less formula for 3 weeks now and it is dynamite! The Miracle of Life formula is out of stock and Age-Less has picked up right where Miracle has left off — well almost anyway.

A photo of Amy WolfeFirst off, I’m an active person and all of your products work extremely well, however, Age-Less has given me an unbelievable recovery from workouts. I enjoy running the soccer fields and then lifting weights. I’m bench pressing 10 more pounds than last week and am not sore at all – I expected to be a little sore the next day, but that is not the case. I’m running faster and once again, expecting to feel discomfort and it’s not there.

Age-Less not only helps to preserve your body from the inside out, but another fantastic benefit I’ve experienced is more energy for sex. I’m motivated, it’s on my mind, and makes me happy.

I love this product! I can’t wait until Miracle of Life is back in stock – these two products together will be amazing.

Dr. Garland you are brilliant! Keep on amazing us… you do it well!

Try it for yourself, as Amy says so well, “this stuff is dynamite in a bottle!”
