Increase your vitamin C, lower your risk of
heart failure.
It's as simple as that.
In a recent study, researchers found that subjects with the lowest blood levels of vitamin C had the highest risk of heart failure. Subjects with the highest C had the lowest heart failure risk.
Researchers at Orthomolecular Medicine took those results one step further. They crunched the numbers with CDC heart failure data. Their estimate: Well over 200,000 deaths could be prevented each year if everyone in the U.S. would take steps to get sufficient C intake every day.
Imagine saving enough lives to fill a couple of football stadiums!
And here's the most remarkable part. No mega-doses of vitamin C are necessary. The OM team estimates that just 500 mg daily is all that would be required.

Kill
any bacteria or viruses high dose IVC
Written
by Jenny Thompson at Health Science Institute
"An
unfolding catastrophe."
"Approaching a point of no return."
Those are the warnings from England about antibiotic resistance. The Chief Medical Officer says we are in danger of falling back into the pre-antibiotic era of the 19th century.
But others quoted in the British Medical Journal say the situation is even worse.
Antibiotics, they note, completely changed the way doctors practice medicine. Without antibiotics, a wide range of procedures we take for granted would no longer be possible.
For instance, hip surgery would simply be too dangerous. Believe it or not, they estimate that one in three hip surgery patients would die without antibiotic drugs.
But they're overlooking (or worse, ignoring) one critical opportunity...
You see, they're focused solely on fighting bacteria with drugs. What they're ignoring is that there is a highly effective non-drug antibiotic. In fact, it's 100% effective. It even kills the superbugs that antibiotic resistance created.
This medical marvel is intravenous vitamin C (IVC).
When I talked to Dr. Spreen about this, he offered a brief master class on bacteria control...
"Klenner, Cathcart, and others have shown (decades ago) that there are no bacteria or viruses that can stand up to a high dose IVC. It kills ALL invading bacteria if the dose is high enough. That dose can be reached by any competent practitioner."
And IVC isn't our only alternative. Dr. Spreen notes that colloidal silver, grapefruit seed extract, and olive leaf extract are first-rate antibiotics. But high dose IVC is superior because it reaches infection sites most effectively.
Of course, for most of us, IVC isn't as practical as taking a round of pills. But that's not necessarily the case for hospitalized patients. And hospitals are the front line of the worst superbugs.
But it's not like IVC is a standard option in most hospitals (or in any). So if you have a procedure planned that requires antibiotics, discuss using IVC with your doctor.
To be honest, that won't be as easy as it sounds. He probably won't respond by breaking open the Vitamin C storage and setting up the IV line. Some doctors don't even know what IVC is. So we need a plan.
To start, you can find a checklist for getting IVC in the hospital at DoctorYourself.Com (doctoryourself.com/strategies.html). With many useful tips, the list guides you through the whole process.
Also, you might find it helpful to have a doctor with IVC experience on your side. On the HSI website, you can search to see if any doctors near you administer IVC. Just use this link for our "Find a Doc" feature.

Pharmaceutical Drugs are 62,000 Times More
Likely to Kill You than Supplements
According
to the Council for Responsible Nutrition1, 69 percent of American adults take supplements. But are
supplements dangerous? The UK-based, international campaign group, the Alliance
for Natural Health International (ANH-Intl) recently revealed data showing that
compared to supplements, an individual is:
- Around 900 times more likely to die from food poisoning
- Nearly 300,000 times more likely to die from a
preventable medical injury during a UK hospital stay, which is comparable
to the individual risk of dying that active military face in Iraq or
Afghanistan
- 62,000 times more likely to kill you than food
supplements
- 7,750 times more likely to kill you than herbal
remedies
Maximized
Living: A group of natural health doctors lead our Olympic athletes
(NaturalNews) A huge movement for
natural health is underway and it is impacting the largest of all athletic
events. Several USA National governing bodies that represent Olympic groups and
have traditionally been dominated by conventional medicine and government based
nutritional recommendations have embraced a group of natural health doctors.
Maximized Living is showing the rest of the world on the greatest stage that
natural healthcare is the wave of the future.
Orlando-based Maximized Living sent more than 100 of their top chiropractors in North America to help members of USA Judo, Weightlifting, Wrestling and Sitting Volleyball to go for gold in London. This represents the first time that a large group of natural health doctors have traveled with Olympic bodies to represent the country at the games.
In an unprecedented showing, Maximized Living sent the largest contingent of elite chiropractors to London to support and care for USA's elite athletes. Since 2009, the Maximized Living Sports Council has worked closely with several National Governing Bodies to deliver a holistic, whole-athlete approach to wellness that incorporates chiropractic principles, balanced nutrition, mental preparedness and fitness programs designed to build strength, endurance and enhanced performance.

The Olympics are no longer dominated by the medical
community
The Olympics have typically been
dominated by medical teams that dispense drugs and steroid injections and
devalue nutrition and natural lifestyle interventions. Many over-the counter,
non-steroidal anti-inflammatories are given out during the Olympic events as
athletes will do whatever it takes within the governing body rules to perform.
For the first time ever there is a significant voice for natural health and
wellness in the Olympic circle.
Jose Rodriguez, USA Judo Executive Director, commented, "This is about making our athletes stronger, faster and sustainably successful. Our partnership with ML has given us the education, support and comprehensive principles to increase stamina, strength and perform at their pinnacle in London."
Terry Steiner, 2012 USA Women's National Coach commented, "I have seen a tremendous value in our partnership as it pertains to the performances of our Olympic team. I can further see the positive, life-long effects these doctors can have on their lives after London."
The ML Sports Council was a vision incubated from Maximized Living founder, Dr. Ben Lerner. Dr. Lerner, a former all-American wrestler and founder of Maximized Living bridged a gap in performance management by creating the first and largest certified network of chiropractors trained in whole-athlete care. Through the Maximized Living Five Essentials, Maximized Living Sports Council doctors are certified in advanced chiropractic techniques, nutrition, detoxification, exercise and mental preparedness.
"We're proud of the selfless commitment our Sports Council doctors have made in helping USA's elite compete at the highest level, achieve peak performance, recover faster, sustain fewer injuries and reach for the gold. Our Sports Council's success is a testament to the performance and recuperative aspects of chiropractic and the critical role Maximized Living doctors play in helping to unlock the full human potential," said Maximized Living CEO, Shel Hart.
Maximized Living is a healthcare delivery system now being utilized by USA's National Governing Bodies for Wrestling, Judo, Weightlifting, Sitting Volleyball, the 2010 Major League Soccer World Champions, Colorado Rapids, US Martial Arts, the International Brazilian Jujitsu Federation, many top MMA teams, and hundreds of athletes and teams at all levels. ML doctors covered more than 50 national and international events this year and traveled with athletes to London in July 2012.

(NaturalNews) The immense dangers associated with exposure to Monsanto's Roundup herbicide are becoming incontrovertible, with the latest indictment of this deadly chemical cocktail coming from a new paper published in the open access, peer-reviewed journal Entropy. A scientist from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and her colleague found that, contrary to industry claims, the active ingredient in Roundup, glyphosate, interferes with human digestion and the biosynthesis of nutrients, which can cause a host of fatal diseases.
Most of the chronic illnesses that plague Western society, in fact, are the same residual consequences that can arise due to exposure to Roundup. This stunning fact raises some serious questions about the safety of the general food supply, much of which is derived from or contains ingredients made from genetically-modified (GM) crops that are sprayed with Roundup. In other words, when the vast majority of today's most prevalent diseases can be traced to the same long-term side effects brought about by exposure to Roundup, we have a very real public health crisis on our hands.
"Glyphosate's inhibition of cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes is an overlooked component of its toxicity to mammals," write the authors in their abstract. "Residues are found in the main foods of the Western diet, comprised primarily of sugar, corn, soy and wheat ... Consequences are most of the diseases and conditions associated with a Western diet, which include gastrointestinal disorders, obesity, diabetes, heart disease, depression, autism, infertility, cancer and Alzheimer's disease."
Roundup exposure linked to brain
disorders, reproductive problems, and cancer
The discovery that glyphosate
directly inhibits CYP enzyme activity is noteworthy, as this class of enzymes
is responsible for regulating proper metabolism. When CYP enzymes are blocked
from functioning as intended, in other words, a condition known as gut
dysbiosis can result, which in turn can lead to inflammatory bowel disease and
other chronic gastrointestinal disorders. Such disorders, as you may already
know, are often linked to autism spectrum disorders and various other brain
conditions.
Beyond this, glyphosate has also been shown to directly interfere with reproductive function. A known chelator, the spraying of Roundup on crops has been shown to not only deplete nutrients from crops, but also block their absorption from soil. When ingested, glyphosate and glyphosate residues can cause similar damage in humans, as it both depletes and decreases the bioavailability of important reproductive nutrients like cholesterol sulfate and zinc. Glyphosate has also been shown to cross the placental barrier and damage developing human life in mothers' wombs.
"Contrary to the current widely-held misconception that glyphosate is relatively harmless to humans, the available evidence shows that glyphosate may rather be the most important factor in the development of multiple chronic diseases and conditions that have become prevalent in Westernized societies," explain the authors in their discussion.
