The Scientist :: MicroRNA controls insulin

The Scientist :: MicroRNA controls insulin: "The microRNA miR-375 regulates myotrophin, a protein involved in the final stages of insulin secretion from pancreatic islet cells, according to a publication in Nature this week.
The results suggest miR-375 as a possible new avenue for diabetes treatment, according to lead author Markus Stoffel, from Rockefeller University in New York. Of possibly greater immediate significance is a growing belief that microRNAs play other important roles in the pancreas, he said.
'We took an unbiased approach and cloned all of the microRNAs from a pancreatic beta cell line,' Stoffel told The Scientist. His group found more than 60, including novel ones that are highly specific to beta cells, some of which had only previously been described in the central nervous system."

Quantun Brain MOdel v6 Feb 1995

arXiv:quant-ph/9502006 v1 6 Feb 1995: "Finally, according to the original quantum brain model, the recall processis described as the excitation of dwq modes under an external stimulus whichis �essentially a replication signal�[9] of the one responsible for memory print-ing. When dwq are excited the brain �consciously feels�[9] the presence of thecondensate pattern in the corresponding coded vacuum. The replication signalthus acts as a probe by which the brain �reads� the printed information.In this connection we observe that the dwq may acquire an effective nonzeromass due to the effects of the system finite size[12]. Such an effective mass willthen introduce a threshold in the excitation energy of dwq so that, in order totrigger the recall process an energy supply equal or greater than such a thresholdis required. Non sufficient energy supply may be experienced as a �difficultyin recalling�. At the same time, however, the threshold may positively act asa �protection� against unwanted perturbations (including thermalization) andcooperate to the memory state stability. In the opposite case of zero thresholdany replication signal could excite the recalling and the brain would fall in astate of �continuous flow of memories"

Symmetry breaking and genetic assimilation
How do evolutionary novelties arise? The conventional explanation is that the first step is the chance formation of a genetic mutation, which results in a new phenotype, which, if it is favored by selection, may be fixed in a population. No one sensible can seriously argue with this idea�it happens. I�m not going to argue with it at all.
However, there are also additional mechanisms for generating novelties, mechanisms that extend the power of evolutionary biology without contradicting our conventional understanding of it. A paper by A. Richard Palmer in Science describes the evidence for an alternative mode of evolution, genetic assimilation, that can be easily read as a radical, non-Darwinian, and even Lamarckian pattern of evolution (Sennoma at Malice Aforethought has expressed concern about this), but it is nothing of the kind; there is no hocus-pocus, no violation of the Weissmann barrier, no sudden, unexplained leaps of cause-and-effect. Comprehending it only requires a proper appreciation of the importance of environmental influences on development and an understanding that the genome does not constitute a descriptive program of the organism."

The definition of statistical approaches for studying genetic variation has evolved at a frightening speed. Such technologies are applied in population studies to investigate divergence and modifications over time.

The proposed research will utilize these techniques on a very refined sample to demonstrate how easily the consciousness of humans can change their own DNA. This direct application will open the door for more direct control and development of specific techniques for creating desired genetic modifications.

Brigham and Women's Division of Genetics - Sunyaev Lab: "Lab: Research Interests
We are a computational biology laboratory. We develop and apply computational methods to pursue various problems in fields of genetics, genomics and proteomics. Our main interest is to analyse the population genetic variation and the genome divergence between species with the major focus on the protein coding regions. The effect of amino acid substitutions on function and structure of proteins can be frequently understood and even predicted via comparative sequence analysis and analysis of the protein structure. We relate the above functional studies to the evolutionary process of natural selection in order to track the evolution of proteins at the molecular level. Large-scale statistical approaches are suitable to study the way new mutations, genetic drift and natural selection shape the population genetic variation and how this variation once becomes a species divergence. The results of structural and evolutionary studies can be further applied to the data on human genetic polymorphisms with the goal to understand the complex mechanisms of inheritance and most importantly the genetic basis of human multifactorial diseases.
Our future effort will be directed towards the development of methods to extract knowledge on functionality and evolution from the novel massive data on closely related genomes and population genetic variants. We are hoping to reveal epistatic interactions between allelic variants and understand their molecular basis, thus getting closer to the understanding of the interplay of genetic variants to give rise to phenotypes. We are planning to utilise the knowledge gained to study the data on genotypes of patients suffering from common complex disorders through the established collaborations with groups involved in large medical genetics research projects.

Abstract:
I discuss two probabilistic modeling problems arising in metazoan genomic analysis: identifying motifs and cis-regulatory modules (CRMs) from transcriptional regulatory DNA sequences, and inferring haplotypes from genotypes of single nucleotide polymorphisms. Motif and CRM identification is important for understanding the gene regulatory network underlying metazoan development and functioning. I discuss a modular Bayesian model that captures rich structural characteristics of the transcriptional regulatory sequences and supports a variety of tasks such as learning motif representations, model-based motif and CRM prediction, and de novo motif detection. Haplotype inference is essential for the understanding of genetic variation within and among populations, with important applications to the genetic analysis of disease propensities and other complex traits. I discuss a Bayesian model based on a prior constructed from a Chinese restaurant process -- a nonparametric prior which provides control over the size of the unknown pool of population haplotypes, and on a likelihood that allows statistical errors in the haplotype/genotype relationship. Our models use the 'probabilistic graphical model' formalism, a formalism that exploits the conjoined talents of graph theory and probability theory to build complex models out of simpler pieces. I discuss the mathematical underpinnings for the models, how they formally incorporate biological prior knowledge about the data, and the related computational issues.

Innovative Funding

Article - Fishing for Answers: "When businessman and longtime philanthropist Ralph C. Wilson Jr.
decided to begin supporting biomedical research, he convened experts from six of the country's top medical institutions to suggest the most effective way he could help. Together, the institutions - including the University of Michigan - identified a problem in research funding: because so many scientists are competing for limited grant dollars, most grants go to 'safe' research projects, where success is almost certain. Researchers who come with creative ideas and new ways of thinking often have trouble finding support.

So Wilson established his Ralph C. Wilson Sr. and Ralph C. Wilson Jr. Medical Foundation with a mission of funding innovative research by the nation's top biomedical scientists.

Though they have only been in existence since 2001, Wilson Foundation grants carry enormous weight and prestige. Only six institutions are even eligible to apply, with the U-M among this select group. What's more, only the top researchers and most creative projects at those institutions pass the rigorous peer review process. At each institution, only one to three projects receive funding annually.



One of the U-M's four researchers receiving funding is Dr. Daniel Goldman, a professor of biological chemistry and senior research professor, who is 'almost bursting' with excitement over his Wilson-funded research. Dr. Daniel Goldman works with zebrafish in his lab.Dr. Goldman explores new ways of repairing damage to the central nervous system, such as from strokes or spinal cord injuries. Fish, unlike humans, can recover from similar injuries and regenerate their nervous systems. Studying a lab full of zebrafish, Dr. Goldman hopes he is on the trail of information that could revolutionize treatments for stroke, pa"

Metabolic Engineering Working Group

Metabolic Engineering Working Group: "Metabolic Engineering is a new approach to understanding and using metabolic processes. As the name implies, ME is the targeted and purposeful alteration of metabolic pathways found in an organism in order to better understand and use cellular pathways for chemical transformation, energy transduction, and supramolecular assembly. Knowledge acquired from this research will benefit society in a number of ways, including the ability to modify biological pathways to produce biological substitutes for less desirable chemical processes; allowing greater agricultural production, permitting more efficient and safer energy production, and; providing better understanding of the metabolic basis for some medical conditions that could assist in the development of new cures."

Intelligent design - Wikipedia

Intelligent design - Wikipedia: "Intelligent design (ID) is the phrase coined for the argument that life and living things show signs of having been designed by an intelligent agent, and that therefore abiogenesis must be a false hypothesis. Specifically, the conjecture focuses on the 'what' of the origin of life on Earth, i.e. saying that it is not possible for 'non-living' matter to become 'living' matter (with the level of organization that is observed today) without intervention, and that life itself shows signs of design. The 'Who, why, when, where and how' are theoretically excluded from the debate, although the idea is more often than not identified with religious arguments, with inevitable extension into those other domains. Religious proponents of ID use the argument from design to argue for the existence of a god, usually � in the context of Christianity � God.
Opponents of ID, who include the overwhelming majority of the scientific community, claim that this argument is deceptive and has no standing as a scientific hypothesis, i.e. it is considered pseudoscience. They say that ID does not present falsifiable hypotheses, and violates the principle of naturalism within scientific philosophy. They also point to examples of seemingly poor design within biology."

Symbiosis - Wikipedia

"The biologist Lynn Margulis, contends that symbiosis is a major driving force behind evolution. She considers Darwin's notion of evolution, driven by competition, as incomplete, and claims evolution is strongly based on co-operation, interaction, and mutual dependence among organisms. According to Margulis and Sagan (1986), 'Life did not take over the globe by combat, but by networking'. As in humans, organisms that cooperate with others of their own or different species can sometimes outcompete those that don't."

evolution-change-in-genetic

Definitions:

1. EVOLUTION: Change in the genetic composition of a population during successive generations, as a result of natural selection acting on the genetic variation among individuals, and resulting in the development of new species.
2. PHYLOGENY: a theory that the various types of animals and plants have their origin in other preexisting types and that the distinguishable differences are due to modifications in successive generations.
3. DEVELOPMENT: The natural progression from a previous, simpler, or embryonic stage to a later, more complex, or adult stage ; gradual advancement or growth through a series of progressive changes; the doctrine that animals and plants possess the power of passing by slow and successive stages from a lower to a higher state of organization.
4. DNA CONSIOUSNESS THEORY

Several features of human consciousness persistently elude scientific explanation.
Hypothesis:

• Consciousness represents the most advanced natural process of the Earth.
• The DNA Spiral represents the evolution of consciousness. The single level of consciousness of this Earth is called evolution, and the growth of life.
• The Helix of DNA is the record of the evolution cycle for the creation of man.
• Consciousness is all connected.
• We share this conscious form with creation.

Theory:

• As my consciousness evolves, this is represented in my DNA.
• The DNA in my body can be controlled by my thoughts.
• My thought can change my DNA.
• Evolution I’ve created will appear in all the new babies born.
• Creation has evolved to bring me to know this.
• The Knowing this is Creating it.
  
  

Tests:

The test is to take a picture of my DNA now, determine some neat fix for some disease not in there yet, and explain it to me!

1. Take general sample, define existing DNA standards
2. Identify a measurable change
3. Create a graphic representation
4. Learn the change
5. Take new general sample.... verify changes.

Identify the changes done already and check the children who all have it and your own DNA that doesn’t have it.

1. Take sample of DNA
2. Compare to peers sample
3. Compare the children’s samples.... current sample will more closely match children’s instead of peers

Y0ur Health - Y0ur Resp0nsib!l!ty

Your Health - Your Responsibility
(Responsibility)

I don’t really expect this article to be very popular. It seems as if the subject of Responsibility has the ability to stir up emotions and a great deal of debate. Launching the subject is as fashionable as inviting a skunk to a tea party.

And yet, Responsibility is probably the greatest issue that needs to be faced when it comes to attaining a state of excellent health and doing well in life. It seems to me there is no getting around it or running away from it.

Way too often, people are willing to be victims and are overly agreeable when it comes to leaving their physical, mental and even spiritual health up to others. For some reason they are awfully eager to place the well being of themselves and their families in the hands of the Government, the Medicos, the Gurus, and the Psychs. In my books, this is a good way of becoming a slave. It is the runway to sickness and disease.

It may seem completely unreasonable to claim that you are absolutely 100% responsible for the condition you are in, but it has been my experience that any other way of looking at this leads to failure, illness and death.

Oh, I’ve heard the arguments to the contrary. “What about babies born with a disorder or a deformity?” people always ask. “Surely!” they say, “These children didn’t “choose” to be ill or deformed.” Well, even in these examples of the very young, research is finding and confirming that such is the case. One of the most famous published cases on record that proves this out was that of ole Doc Christopher himself, who discovered that he had learned “to hate” at the very young age of 14 months old, after his birth mother and father had left him in an orphanage. He discovered that this “hate” had been the “mental cause” of his childhood Thyroid difficulties and his Thyroid cancer in later years. Additionally, there are many cases and confirmed reports of “pre-natal” decisions being made that have physically affected the person afterwards. The real proof of the pudding here is that those who adopt a “full responsibility / no excuses” attitude get better and do very well in life. Doc Christopher and his contributions to mankind is one of the best examples I can think of. His ability to LOVE and care was legendary.

But don’t just take my word for it. The key here is to LOOK and DECIDE for your self. You have to decide what works for you.

How can one be responsible when there is so much conflicting information regarding health and healing? What an area of confusion!

This is where you have to try things and filter out the untruths as they apply to you and your family. When my friends and clients are spinning around looking for answers, I like to ask them what they were doing when they felt the best. More often than not they tell me they were eating well, exercising, and liked what they were doing in their lives. Well? What does this tell you? When they again do those things that were successful, get even more educated and do some serious cleansing - wow!! Then they really see RESULTS! And believe me if these people are ever told by a Medico that they have a serious disease, they already know what they plan to do to handle it. Many wouldn’t dream of letting a Doctor touch them or a family member.

And this brings me to my next important point. Get the knowledge you need to be healthy NOW! This information will serve you well, should you, a friend, or a family member be told they have a serious, incurable disease. When you are under the stress of such news, it is not the easiest time to start learning about the body, how it works and what would be the best thing to do. However, if you are already grooved in, you know exactly what you need to do and can immediately get started on those actions you believe are best for you or your loved ones. In this way you are prepared and have the best “life insurance” policy available. There is no substitute for personal knowledge.

Many people complain to me that organic foods are expensive. I think getting sick, going to the Medico for expensive tests, and ignorance are way more costly. So, I recommend spending your money on education, organic food, cleansing and exercising instead of health and life insurance. This allows you to be in a position of responsibility and full cause over your life. It is the best investment you can make toward living a long, healthy and productive life. You owe it to yourself and your loved ones.

In health and love,

Ian “Doc” Shillington N.D.

The Dwindling Spiral of Disease

I've been meaning to write this article for a number of months now, and JC's post has inspired me to do it NOW. Bear with me, as this is all "off the cuff" and straight out of the ole brain with no editing for subtlety and finesse. These are cold hard facts straight from the hip. This article is not for you hard core herbalists, nutritionists, and Naturopaths as I'm not into preaching to the choir ;o) This is for those of you who have come here looking for some answers. In a few places, I'll be blowing my own horn (LOL), and I hope you don't mind, as I worked hard for these answers.

First, let's take a look at a few questions here which are very appropriate.

Why is it that, as time goes by our medications from the Medico (the Medical Doctor, which emphatically includes Psychiatrists and Psychologists) get stronger and more potent? Why is it that, as time goes by we seem to get sicker and sicker even though we are going to the Medico regularly and in some cases, even more frequently? Why is it that, as time goes by our diseases seem to get more serious even though we are taking more medications than ever before? Why is it that, when we get a headache, and the Medico recommends an aspirin (or something stronger), the headache then goes away??? And does this mean that our body has an aspirin deficiency??? ;o) Why in the hell do we get sick in the first place??? Is being sick and diseased NORMAL??? Is getting sick the NORMAL condition of human life??? Why in hell do I always feel so bad???????????????????

Wellllllllll, you know, ain't it funny that if you ask the right questions, the right way, the answers will sometimes jump out at you and slap you aside the head with the impact of a 2 by 4. Many times it's just a matter of asking the RIGHT question(s) :o)

Do you see where we're heading here?

Now, I'm going to give you some basic answers here which I can empirically prove beyond any shadow of a doubt, but to place those proofs in a short article like this one would be impossible with the time and space allowed, so for the moment you're just going to have to take my word for the veracity of these answers. Of course you're always welcome to do your own research to find out for yourself whether I lie or tell the truth, and I do encourage this ;o)

#1. THE MENTAL BASIC COMMON DENOMINATOR OF ALL DISEASE IS STRESS!!! The word "Stress" can be used synonymously with the word "Suppression". There are NO exceptions to this. Wherever you find disease, you will find "Stress" as a major factor prior to the acquisition of the disease 100% of the time.

#2. THE PHYSICAL BASIC COMMON DENOMINATOR OF ALL DISEASE IS STOPPAGE!!! For many years, I'd bought and accepted the answer from Doc Schulze who got it from Doc Chrisopher that this common denominator was "Blockage". As I started my journey into the realm of health, this seemed to be true, but in my own research I kept running into circumstances where there was NO "Blockage", and yet a condition of disease existed. It baffled me for a while until I realized that "Blockage" was the wrong answer and that I had to research further. Why? Because "Blockage" did not answer the problem of Diabetes and the non functioning Islets of Langerhans that goes with that condition. It did not solve the problem of exhausted adrenal glands in the (20 pots of coffee a day) patient, as there was NO "Blockage" to be removed. I had to throw out this stable datum and develop another one which was workable 100% of the time. After much research, I finally managed to fine-tune this and came up with "Stoppage" as the final answer. Wherever you find "Blockage", you'll always find "Stoppage" to a greater or lesser degree. But, you don't always find "Blockage" where there is a "Stoppage". Sometimes a condition exists whereby a gland or organ has simply ceased to function. This is "Stoppage". The biggest question I had to ask and prove was, "Did this stable datum I had discovered, lead to a resolution of ALL disease?". The answer so far is, "YES!". I haven't found an exception to date, and believe me, I've looked. One time only, I thought I'd found an exception in a patient until I realized that, "ALL DISEASE IS CURABLE! BUT NOT ALL PATIENTS ARE! THERE ARE THOSE WHO ARE DETERMINED TO BE VICTIMS AND WHO ARE ACTUALLY TRYING TO SUCCUMB!". I could go on for reams and reams with this to show you the proofs, but as I said earlier, space and time will simply not allow it here with this post. I also challenge anyone to disprove the above and I mean this seriously. I've challenged it myself many times just to ensure that it is workable. And workability has always been my guideline. Does a therapy, treatment, or remedy work? That is the proof!

Where does this all fit into the original questions above?

Wellllll, it answers the question "WHY?", and it leads to a resolution of all of the above, but let's look further into this nefarious dwindling spiral of disease.

When you were 2 yrs of age, some family member, family "friend", or neighborhood bully decided to add a little stress to your life (Mom or Dad might not have thought it was stress, but you certainly did), and shortly thereafter you got sick and came down with your first serious cold and fever (a major detox by the way). Now if you were lucky, Mom only freaked out enough to give you a Children's Aspirin, or a Children's Tylenol and you came through it kinda OK. If you weren't quite so lucky, Mom really freaked and took you to the Medico who gave you something stronger (and worse), and usually gave you an antibiotic to boot. Now the apparency is that the symptoms went away and that you were 'cured'. What actually happened was that the symptoms were suppressed (looks like they went away), but that damage was done to your liver and other vital organs which were debilitated by the drugs the Medico gave you. There was a greater threat to your vital organs and the cold (the body's detox) was stopped in order to handle the greater threat of the Medico drugs to the vital organs. Don't believe me? The next time you get a sliver, or a bruise from a bang, or even a cold, hit yourself hard on the big toe with a sledge hammer. I guarantee you, that you'll forget all about the sliver, the bruise and yes even the cold, as your body now has a much more serious situation to handle. Aspirin causes bleeding in the stomach which is a bigger threat to the body than a headache (usually brought about by stoppage in the bowel by the way). The next time you're not feeling too well, go and deliberately pick a fight with your spouse and watch how soon you forget about how bad you're feeling. Of course you may feel even worse tomorrow having created a bad effect on your loved one. But you get the point. You don't need a pristine laboratory with stainless steel test tubes to bear this out. At little testing, observation of life (even remembering) on your own part will verify this.

OK, now you're 6 yrs old, and you've had a dozen or two colds and fevers, and even a couple of flus and everytime you got them, Momma gave you something from the doctor to handle them which further suppressed your body's organs, glands, and immune system. And then one day you really get sick, I mean really sick (temperature of 106, etc. etc.). Momma of course freaks (by the way, this is probably what her mother did which can lead to an "apparency" of "genetic" diseases) and takes you to the family Medico (one more time) and this time the doctor orders a large round of expensive "tests" to discover you have 'allergies' (and if you're really unlucky - ADD or ADHD as well). Now the "nice" doctor prescribes and puts you on another and even stronger medication (drug) to do what??? - You got it. Suppress the symtoms. Is there a 'cure' in sight? Absolutely not. Don't even dare ask. Now as the years go by, you seem to be just one of those poor souls (victim) who seems to be allergic to just about everything and your dosage of medications (and its strengths) seems to go up at the rate of about once a year.

Now your 10 to 15 yrs old, and due to the crime rate in your school (Remember Stress?), you have to stay home for a week because you're really sick one more time and are having lots of trouble breathing. Momma (she's gray by now), takes you to a different Medico (she knows instinctively that something is wrong but can't target it) to have a new battery of tests done to discover what??? Her baby has asthma. Boy, now we're on a whole new set of meds and drugs and some of these are pretty darn strong and the medicine chest is almost so full you couldn't get another thing into it. I mean, things fall out of it when you open the door. Get the picture?

Well time continues to go on (it ususally does ;o) and the meds get stronger, the doses get bigger and so on until we hit the ripe old age of 25 and what-d-ya-know? We're concerned about that little lump in the breast, and we go to the Medico one more time to discover we have the Big "C" - Cancer. Now you've hit the big one. I mean, NO and I mean NO medication / treatment gets as intense as Chemo Therapy and Radiation. Ask a person who's had these. They'll tell you they feel like they've been run over by a train. The other route you could follow if you don't get cancer is the big "H" - Heart Disease. And if you think healing by herbs is radical, you should see an open heart operation. Now that's radical, and don't be surprised if you end up with a baboon heart or something of the sort.

Now you're into operations and all other kinds of 'medical treatment' until you die at the ripe old age of 39 or so.

Some of you may think I'm exaggerating here. I'm not. Talk to a cancer patient. Talk to a heart patient. They'll tell you. There may be some discrepencies in the ages above and some people won't die from cancer till they're 40, 50 or 60. A child might not get that first cold until the age of 3 and your asthma victim might not really develop a serious case until he's 25 or so. The point I'm trying to make here is that, there is a dwindling spiral of disease and the Medical Doctor is into nothing but - DISEASE MANAGEMENT. That's all! Nothing else! And don't you dare ask how much money the Medico has made through this whole process. I'll tell you, HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS!!!! Not just from you and your insurance, but also as kickbacks (rewards, incentives, whatever you want to call them) from the big pharmaceutical companies as well.

Now, where do you think a lot of this "Stress" is coming from? You got it. From the Medicos themselves who are at the very least placing a heavy "stress" on the body by the use of all these drugs (Oh yes, you can be very easily mentally stressed by drugs). Do you want to see a Medico go berserk? Just tell him you want to get a second opinion from an alternative practitioner. Oooooooooh, I know not all of them are "Bad", and many of them are just miseducated and ignorant, but the majority are in it for only one thing = THE BUCK! And believe me, they create their patients right from the cradle.

I'm going to give you a few new concepts here.

GOOD VITAL HEALTH IS 'NORMAL'! Think about it. Doesn't this instinctively make sense to you?

THE BODY CAN ACTUALLY HEAL ITSELF! IT WAS DESIGNED TO DO SO! Hey! You break a leg and when the Medico puts it into a cast (one of the few things he's good at), the bones grow back together again don't they? (and not at the direction of the doctor either) Then what makes you think that the body can't heal all the other things that is wrong with it?

DISEASE IS NOT NORMAL! YOU HAVE TO WORK FOR IT AND EARN IT! You may or may not believe me here. But you did everything that was necessary to earn your disease. Oh, you had help from others, no doubt about that, but you were the one who made the decision to keep doing the same old bad habits. You were the one who as an adult continued going to the Medico for your monthly dose of drugs.

Where does the buck stop??? Well, actually the buck stops with the Medical Doctor, but the responsibility is ultimately yours.

Some people tell me they are looking for a good doctor. I tell people that I'm looking for good patients.

And what is my definition of a good patient? Someone who realizes that they are fully responsible for the condition they are in - good or bad. They realize that they are the "Causative" factor in their own lives and refuse to be victims. They know that their 'healing' is their own responsibility. Only they can effect their own 'CURE'.

The original definition of "Doctor" meant "Teacher" and that's what I'm all about. I can supply the tools and the knowledge for you to achieve a marvelous healing. But it is you who'll avail yourself of this knowledge and then take the first step to your own recovery and reverse this dwindling spiral of disease. And there'll be no whining or snivelling while you're doing it.

You can do it if you truly want to. You really can.

I believe in you.

Won't you?

Love,
Doc

VITAMIN C
(Top Secret!!!!)

OK, OK, OK!!! So you just found out that almost all of the Vitamin Boys are making their Vitamin-C from Genetically Engineered Corn. What you are about to read, the giant pharmaceutical companies do not want you to see. Even the "Health Food Stores" do not want you to know this all important data.

What! You exclaim. How am I supposed to get enough Vitamin C into my family if I don't buy supplements???

Answer: You make your own!

This secret, even the Health Food Stores don't want you know, but you can make your very own Vitamin C supplement that is 10 times better than anything you could buy in a store at NO EXTRA COST TO YOU! YES! IT'S FREE!!!

Does it have a 1,000 Mg of Vitamin C per dosage? NOPE! Does it have the US RDA amount per dosage? No way Jose! Has it been approved by the FDA? Absolutely Not! Well - what does it have then Doc???

It has live enzymes that allow the Vitamin C to be 100% assimilated into your body. It has its own natural source of Rutin, Hesperidin, and Bioflavonoids. It's easily acquired and easy to make and even tastes great!!!

C'mon Doc! Knock off the suspense and tell one and all what this miracle source is!
------------------------------
It's ORANGE PEELS!!!

That's right. Just plain ordinary orange peels left over from the ORGANIC Oranges you usually buy at the store. Save your peels after you eat the inside of the fruit and cut them into thin strips. Place on muslin or cheese cloth on your dining room table and let dry at room temperature for a couple of days until dry and crisp. Break up into smaller pieces and mix with your favorite tea (makes the tea taste awesome, but this approach will destroy the enzymes because of the heat). Better yet, place the peel strips into your coffee grinder and grind into a powder (won't hurt the enzymes) and use to mix with your early morning drink. One rounded teaspoon will supply you with more organic Vitamin-C Complex, Rutin, Hesperidin, & Bioflavonoids than your body needs for the day regardless of your size. A rounded teaspoon of fresh homemade orange peel powder mixed in your blender with some fresh organic apple juice tastes awesome. Get even more creative and add more of your favorite fruit to the mixture.

Yours in Health and Love,
