<p><em>Below I have reprinted the contents of a newsletter that I receive from health educator Danny Vierra. The principles that he has outlined below are excellent and  if followed you will certainly benefit health wise in the upcoming  year.</em></p>
<p>Here are some wonderful health guidelines for you to practice in 2011.  We are closer to Christ&#8217;s coming then ever before, and we need to get in  the best shape as possible so we can share the health message with the  world and the church. There is no better way of convincing people of  God&#8217;s health program then by living out the principles in your own life.  As people notice your health and energy and see the glow of health on  your face, they will want to know what you are doing. Here are the  guidelines for 2011 that you can share with them.</p>
<p><strong>1.</strong> <strong>Eat a whole plant food diet with lots of organic fruits and vegetables from the garden</strong>. I always say, &#8220;<strong>Eat rainbows</strong>.&#8221;   Remember that even the color of the plants have healing power. Such as   the red pigment in tomatoes known as lycopene can help preventing   prostate cancer. My advice for men is to eat many red fruits and  vegetables to avoid prostate problems and cancer. Also a plant-based  diet is highly alkaline. Acid foods like meat, dairy, and sugar will  make you more vulnerable to disease and cancer.</p>
<p><strong>2. Get 60 to 80 percent of your diet from living or live food such as fresh organic fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds.</strong> There are many great raw cookbooks available with delicious recipes.   Another easy way to get plenty of healthy raw food is to start the day  with the following  <strong>Super Energy Breakfast Drink</strong>: Start  with a good  blender or Vita-Mix. Add 1 apple, 1 banana, a handful of  grapes, 1 kiwi,  or whatever fruit you like, 3 tablespoons of Organic  Flaxseed Oil, 2  Scoops of <strong>SuperManna, </strong>add   a few ice cubes or use frozen fruit to give it a little chill but not   too cold. I also may add a tablespoon of pumpkin, flax, and sunflower   seeds  and perhaps 10 almonds. Add all of the above to 24 ounces of   organic apple juice and blend for 30 seconds to one minute. This will   make four or five servings. You will get amazing amounts of energy from   the 14 Super Foods and the four or five servings of fresh live   fruits seeds and nuts first thing in the morning, right when you need   it. The Super Energy Breakfast Drink contains all the protein, essential   fatty acids, and healthy carbohydrates you need for the a great start   for the day. In addition to the breakfast drink, have a big green salad   for lunch or dinner with all your favorite vegetables containing even   more fiber and protein, vitamins, and minerals. If you will eat 8   servings of fresh organic produce every day you will protect yourself   against cancer, heart disease and other major diseases. Eat a high  alkaline diet of fresh fruits and vegetables.</p>
<p><strong>3.</strong> <strong>Try growing some of your own food and plant some fruit trees</strong>.   Citrus trees are beautiful in landscaping the yard and they are   evergreen. Teach your children how to plant seeds and make a garden   together. Make it fun. I just started a new garden method called the  Square Foot Garden. You use less water, spend less time weeding, and get  more produce with less time and energy. I bought 15 raised garden beds  and am so excited on teaching this method at BellaVita and our coming  Medical Missionary School &#8212; R I S E N!</p>
<p><strong>4.</strong> <strong>Avoid eating animal foods</strong>.   Animal food is high in protein and fat that increases one&#8217;s  chance of  getting cancer and other chronic diseases like heart disease and  diabetes. Animal food is void  of all fiber making it a major cause of  colorectal cancer. It is also  high in cholesterol and therefore a  contributor of heart disease.  Cultures that eat the highest amounts of  animal foods have the highest  amounts of cancer, heart disease,  diabetes, stroke and other diseases.  Eating the flesh of animals is not  necessary, and in fact contributes to  an early grave. Global obesity  is plaguing the world and animal foods are a major cause of the increase  in overweight people. Obesity is a major cause of disease and diabetes.</p>
<p><strong>5.</strong> <strong>Avoid all dairy products</strong>.   Dairy is liquid meat, and any disease in the animal is most likely  also  in its secretions. Milk is the number-one cause of childhood  anemia and  allergy. I remember the late Dr. Vigil Hulse once told me  that as a  Milk and Dairy inspector for 13 years in California, he found  80% of the  herds had cows with leukemia and 50% of the herds had cows  with Bovine  AIDS. This was in the county in which I live. Milk Does A  Body  Good? Instead, drink water or fresh juices when thirsty. The FDA  allows 750 million pus cells per liter of milk.</p>
<p><strong>6.</strong> <strong>Avoid refined white sugar, white flour, and ordinary salt or sea salt. Use</strong> Sugar is acid forming and weakens the immune system. It contributes to  diabetes and obesity. When using salt, use Celtic Salt or Real Salt  instead for they contain all the minerals from  the ocean instead of  just sodium and chloride.  Regular table salt is a poison to your cells.  Learn to eat foods as close to God&#8217;s original design as possible.<br />
<strong><br />
7.</strong> <strong>Avoid artificial sweeteners</strong> like Nutrasweet that causes lesions in the brain, MS symptoms,   diabetes, and painful joints to name a few. Learn to eat food as God   gave it in the garden like fresh fruit which I call &#8220;God&#8217;s candies.&#8221;  Artificial sweeteners are associated with increase disease and cancers.</p>
<p><strong>8.</strong> <strong>Exercise at least four or five days a week</strong>.   We need all the oxygen we can get. My favorite exercises are  racquetball and weightlifting. This gives me the combination of  aerobic  exercise like racquetball for my heart and circulation and  anaerobic  exercise like weightlifting for building bone density,  strength, and  toning the muscles. Both forms of exercise are good and  necessary for  eliminating toxins through the lymph system. Exercise is  wondeful for  fighting depression and increasing longevity.  Perfect health comes with  perfect circulation.</p>
<p><strong>9.</strong> <strong>Increase your consumption of pure water </strong>and   drink 6 to 8 glasses a day or more depending on your size and weight.   One rule is a half-ounce for every pound of body weight. Avoid chlorine   and fluoride. They can cause cancer, hypothyroidism, and other   complications. Use a water filter if necessary.</p>
<p><strong>10.</strong> <strong>Start drinking fresh organic juices</strong> everyday if possible. A combination of carrot, apple, celery, chard and   parsley is a great immune-building formula that is high in potassium   and phytochemicals. I make a green smoothie in the morning by adding  green leafy vegetables like kale to my fruit smoothie. The leafy  vegetables with the fruits do not cause indigestion.</p>
<p><strong>11.</strong> <strong>Cleanse your elimination organs on a seasonal basis</strong>.   Cleanse the colon, liver, kidney, lung, blood, lymph and skin using   organic herbal formulas, saunas, skin brushing, etc. And do not be   afraid of cleansing. Remember the old saying: &#8220;Death begins in the   colon.&#8221; I recommend doing a 10-day cleanse like Modern Manna&#8217;s Super  Cleanse. Many people come to BellaVita for a fabulous cleansing and  detoxifying experience like no others. We constantly witness healing  miracles at our programs.</p>
<p><strong>12.</strong> <strong>Have a positive attitude</strong> and get moving if you feel depressed. Doing something for someone else   that has a need will help heal your own discouragement. My #1  recommendation for depression is exercise! Memorize Scripture promises  and claim them when you are assailed with negative thoughts. I recite  Isaiah 26:3, 4: &#8220;Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind  is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. Trust ye in the LORD for  ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength:</p>
<p><strong>13.</strong> <strong>Breathe deeply</strong> several times a day of fresh air. Take a walk in the open air. Walking   outside or through a forest is always nice and refreshing. Exercise in  the open air is a blessing.</p>
<p><strong>14.</strong> <strong>Get 30 minutes of sunshine every day</strong> on your front and back if possible, but do not burn. The best times are before 11 AM or after 4 PM.</p>
<p><strong>15: Exercise self control and practice temperance. </strong>Temperance  is a Bible doctrine. It means to abstain entirely from things that are  harmful and use judiciously the things that are good. In other words do  not overeat or be a glutton. Some Bible verses to review on temperance  are: Acts 24:24-26; 1 Cor. 9: 24-27; Galatians 5:22-25; Titus 2:1, 2; 2  Peter 1:6. Try to avoid eating between meals or before bed. Eat at  regular intervals so digestion will be thorough and complete.</p>
<p><strong>16.</strong> <strong>Trust in God, spend time in prayer, and study your Bible every day</strong>. Prayer  is the key in the hand of faith that unlocks Heaven&#8217;s storehouse. Ask  for fresh supplies of grace everyday. Make time for morning prayer,  devotion and have family worship everyday. I have made family worship a  priority and have seen the difference in my children.</p>
<p><strong>17.</strong> <strong>Love your enemies and forgive</strong> those that have wronged you. Remember, Forgiveness is the key to freedom. Don&#8217;t delay since Christ is coming soon!</p>
<p>Please forward  email to your friends and family or anyone else who may benefit   from it. May God richly bless you as you begin a new year!</p>

<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;"><em>Wisdom is</em></span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;"><em> t</em></span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;"><em>he principal thing; th</em></span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;"><em>erefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding Proverbs 4:7.&nbsp;</em></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;">After listening to the strenuous arguments surrounding the current health care debate, I have come to the conclusion that neither side, those purposing the reforms that are being characterized as a &quot;government takeover of health care&quot;, nor those that seem to want to leave the system pretty much the way that it is are really getting to the heart of the issue. </span> <span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;">Suffice it to say I have listened intently to both sides, those called the liberals as well as those that are called the conservatives. I have listened to radio talk show hosts from the conservative side like Shawn Hannity, and Michael Savage, I have also listened to and watched those more on the &quot;liberal&quot; side like Chris Matthews and Rachel Maddow from MSNBC to mention a few. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;">I have listened to president Obama; I have listened to democratic Congressmen and Senators, and Republican Congressman and Senators. </span> <span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;">While the debate rages about how to pay for the costs of health care, how to get all Americans covered, a &quot;government option&quot; etc., no one seems to be giving more than a passing consideration to asking why are the health care costs so high in the first place. To be fair I have heard the President and his administration talk about putting more emphasis on the prevention of disease&hellip;yet this should be the front and center part of the debate&#8212;this is the crucial part of the entire idea concerning health care reform. </span> <span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;">Consider the fact that the main reason so many people are losing health insurance is the cost, and another main reason so many people don&#39;t have health insurance is the cost. Medical issues are the # 1 cause of bankruptcies in the U.S.; additionally all of us pay for the uninsured when they visit the emergency room, because they can&#39;t be turned away. </span> <span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;">The main issue, and all sides seem to agree, is that the incredible costs affiliated with health care is simply unsustainable, and the cost are projected to continue to increase! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18px;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><strong>So How Much Is The Cost </strong></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;">Preventable illness makes up approximately 80% of the burden of illness and 90% of all healthcare costs, preventable illnesses account for eight of the nine leading categories of death. The United States spends more on health care than any other industrialized nation in the world and yet, in many respects, the citizens of the U.S. are not the healthiest. Our healthcare system here in the U.S. is the most expensive of systems, out costing by over half the health care expenditures of any other country. </span> <span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;"><em>A Case In Point </em></span> <span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;">I was reading through an article written by a man that works as a sales manager in the pharmaceutical industry. In his article he pointed out some of the statistics for the cost involved in treating diabetes. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;">Of course he is defending the industry that he works for, yet it is enlightening to gaze upon the referenced statistics. He writes: &quot;How is it the fault of insurance or drug companies that obesity and related conditions (diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, stroke) are at historic highs, and growing at epidemic rates? America&#39;s diet and commitment to exercise is equally weak, yet over the past century, U.S. life expectancy has nearly doubled from 47 to 78 years. This improvement is largely the result of innovations by the US healthcare industry; innovations that have continued in the face of increased government interference and reduced patient trust, compliance and cooperation.&quot; </span> <span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;">He then uses diabetes to reveal just how much this disease alone costs. He writes, &quot;Consider just one mostly avoidable disease facing Americans today&#8211;but one growing at epidemic rates: diabetes&hellip;The failure of diabetics to either modify their life styles or comply with proven treatment regimens costs the US billions of dollars. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;">Consider the following statistics from the American Diabetes Association website: </span> <span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;">&quot;The total annual economic cost of diabetes in 2007 was estimated at $174 billion. Medical expenditures totaled $116 billion comprised of $27 billion for diabetes care, $58 billion for chronic diabetes-related complications, and $31 billion for excess general medical costs. Indirect costs resulting from increased absenteeism, reduced productivity, disease-related unemployment disability, and loss of productive capacity due to early mortality totaled $58 billion. This is an increase of $42 billion since 2002. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;">The 2007 per capita annual costs of health care for people with diabetes is $11,744 a year, of which $6,649 (57 percent) is attributed to diabetes.</span><span style="font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-family: times new roman,times,serif;"> One out of every five health care dollars is spent caring for someone with diagnosed diabetes, while one in ten health care dollars is attributed to diabetes&hellip;. The overwhelming majority (&gt;90 percent) of diabetics suffer from the acquired form of the disease, type 2&hellip; In the past, this disease struck people in their 30s and 40s. Now it is not unusual for endocrinologists to see pre-diabetes in teens. Pharmaceutical companies have spent billions in dollars and man hours developing innovations to improve diabetics&#39; ability to deal with their disease. These innovations, coupled with life-style changes, provide the opportunity for diabetics to lead nearly symptom-free lives.&quot; <em>See N.J Voices.com Guest Article By </em>Michael <em>Pestorius Sept 11.2009 </em>&nbsp;</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;"><em>For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it. Proverbs 8:11</em>&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;"><strong>The Health In Health Care </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: times new roman,times,serif;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Those who have been in natural medicine for awhile know very well that diabetes can be reversed in 30 days with the right program. Of course there have to be changes in lifestyle, and these changes have to be permanent. But consider the alternative&#8230;being on insulin permanently! Therefore the health in the health care debate should look more and more to natural health and wellness, and reduce the emphasis and dependence on so much drug medication and drug education. Health writer Mike Adams wrote a devastating article with regard to this issue, an article that could even be seen as an answer to the article by the pharmaceutical rep above, who argued later in his article that his industry provides a good service. Mike Adams in his Article, <em>If Prescription Drugs Are So Good, Where Are All the Healthy Drug Takers? </em> notes<strong>: &quot;</strong>When observing the state of modern medicine and the unprecedented influence of pharmaceuticals, an interesting paradox arises. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: times new roman,times,serif;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">The drug companies claim that pharmaceuticals can do wonders for people: lower their cholesterol, end clinical depression, reverse osteoporosis, eliminate allergies, calm your children and many other similar promises. But if prescription drugs are so good for people, <em>where are all the healthy medicated customers?</em> There aren&#39;t any to speak of. There&#39;s nobody taking twelve prescriptions who has a clean bill of health. In fact, the more prescriptions a person takes, the worse their overall health. And if you approach the healthiest people you can find in a local fitness center and ask what prescription drugs they&#39;re taking in order to be so healthy, they&#39;ll give you a rather confused look: <em>they don&#39;t take prescription drugs!</em>&quot; Adams accurately educates his readers on the reality that although a drug may be approved by the FDA after a clinical trial, notwithstanding the fact that some people may have died as a direct result of the drug in the clinical trial, if the majority of the people live, and the drug is seen to be effective for the abnormality or disease that it was created to deal with; then it is allowed on the market with the philosophy that its benefits outweighs its risks. Adams points out that &quot;During development, prescription drugs are designed to target a single measurable marker, such as cholesterol levels or bone density&hellip; Indeed, the drug may effectively impact that one marker. But here&#39;s where the problem starts: <em>every drug has a systemic effect, and these systemic effects are not accurately measured (or admitted) in clinical trials</em>. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: times new roman,times,serif;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">For example, statin drugs do, in fact, lower bad cholesterol levels. But they do this by compromising the ability of the liver to create all types of cholesterol, including the &quot;good&quot; cholesterol and important hormones that the body manufactures from cholesterol. Statins&hellip; <em>throw off the body&#39;s healthy physiology in a hundred other ways</em> such as blocking your sex drive. Clinical trials don&#39;t pay much attention to these other effects; they&#39;re just looking to prove one particular thing and get FDA approval to market the drug as a miracle cholesterol fighter&hellip; And when clinical trial participants start showing these severe effects, they are typically &quot;dismissed&quot; from the trial in order to ensure that trial results look positive. In this way, extremely toxic drugs are actually approved by the FDA as &quot;safe.&quot;&#39; Adams, citing the Journal of the American Medical Association, points out that prescription drugs are killing an amazing 100,000 Americans each year and injuring more than two million more! </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: times new roman,times,serif;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Additionally about 40,000 or so who are killed each year by over-the-counter pain medications. Adams, in astonishment, writes, &quot;it&#39;s like having twenty-five 9/11 attacks each year, but instead of terrorists flying the airplanes, it&#39;s pharmaceutical company CEOs. There are more deaths and injuries caused each year by pharmaceuticals than in any U.S. war or conflict since World War II. And yet pharmaceuticals continue to be marketed as miracle drugs that can help people be healthy.&quot; Finally Adams points out the incredible amounts of profits that are made, which no doubt contributes to the skyrocketing health care cost. He says, &quot; It&#39;s profitable for the drug companies who mark them up as much as 500,000% over the cost of the raw ingredients, it&#39;s profitable for retailers like Walgreens who mark them up even further (and whose business relies primarily on drug profits), it&#39;s profitable for newspapers and magazines who gladly cash checks for millions of dollars in drug advertising, and it&#39;s even profitable for doctors who receive all sorts of free vacations, &quot;consulting fees,&quot; and other not-so-subtle bribes in exchange for writing prescriptions for brand-name drugs.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: times new roman,times,serif;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">&quot;The system is extremely profitable to everyone&#8230; everyone except you, that is. You suffer devastating health consequences when you participate. You get stuck with the medical debt. Your insurance rates go sky-high. And to add insult to injury, you&#39;re sicker now than before you started taking the drugs&#8230; We have an unprecedented problem on our hands that&#39;s sickening an entire generation and creating stratospheric long-term health care cost for the next round of working taxpayers unlucky enough to stumble onto all this. But don&#39;t worry: when everybody&#39;s sicker than ever, the drug companies will promise they have the next big cure. All you have to do is pop daily pills at $200 each, and all your health problems will be solved!&quot; <em>See Natural News.com Article If Prescription Drugs Are So Good, Where Are All the Healthy Drug Takers? Mike Adams </em> </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: times new roman,times,serif;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><strong>The Real Problem And A Biblical Principle </strong> </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: times new roman,times,serif;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><em>And now also the ax is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire</em>. Matthew 3:10. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: times new roman,times,serif;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">When John the Baptist came as the forerunner of Christ he was advocating reform. In this reform he understood that the system needed to be reformed at its very root. Thus he declared &quot;<strong><em>the axe is laid unto the root of the trees</em></strong>&quot;. In a similar fashion the crux of the health care problem is that the entire system of modern medicine, the way that it is practiced today, is doomed to be unsustainable and to fail&hellip;period. Medical doctors, starting in school, are not taught to heal, but rather to treat disease with drugs, or surgery. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: times new roman,times,serif;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Drugs and surgery should only be used in trauma cases, emergency cases when necessary, or as a last ditch effort, they should not however be employed as they are currently being employed, and it is evident that the current way of practicing medicine cannot be sustained. The entire system from medical education, culture, hospital treatments etc., is designed to encourage a system of medicine and treatment that on a whole is inferior when it comes to treating chronic disease when compared to natural medicine. As pointed out earlier in the diabetes example; the costs increased from 2002 to 2007 by 42 billion dollars, even in light of all of the drug &quot;advancements&quot;. This is because they are operating from a system that, at its core, cannot heal disease, but rather creates a biological terrain within the body that actually encourages disease due to the toxicity of the various drug medications&#8212;thus the various side effects.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18px;"><span style="font-family: times new roman,times,serif;"><strong>1918- Influenza And Natural Remedies </strong> </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: times new roman,times,serif;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Health writer, Kim Evans, in an outstanding article points out that, &quot;At least twenty million people died in the 1918 influenza epidemic and Eleanora McBean, Ph.D., N.D. tells us something pretty interesting about it. Drug-oriented medical doctors and hospitals, she tells us, &quot;were losing 33% of their flu cases,&quot; while &quot;non-medical hospitals such as Battle Creek, Kellogg and MacFadden&#39;s Health Restorium were getting almost 100% healings.&quot;&hellip;But, do you know <em>how</em> they were achieving an almost 100% recovery rate at Battle Creek, a facility run by Dr. John Harvey Kellogg? She then points out some very simple and effective remedies as pointed out by Dr. Kellogg himself. She writes: &quot;First, the patients were doing water enemas twice a day to clean their bowels&hellip;. until all of the filth was removed. The enemas started at the beginning of the disease and continued until complete recovery. &quot;Second, the patients were drinking three or four quarts of water or fruit juice each day to promote elimination through the kidneys and skin. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: times new roman,times,serif;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">A glass was taken each half hour, when awake. Fiber, such as bran, was mixed into foods including oatmeal and rice to promote bowel movements and the elimination of the problem. &quot;Short hot baths and hot blanket packs were used to ease fevers and help with pain in the back and legs. A hot blanket pack entailed wrapping a person in a &quot;hot as they could stand,&quot; wrung-out wet blanket for twelve to fifteen minutes. A wool blanket covered the outside of the wet blanket, and heads and faces were kept cool. If the pulse was rapid, an ice pack was held over the heart. For very high fevers, the hot blanket packs were used only for four or five minutes. Cold compresses were used for headaches. For high fevers, a cold compress was used immediately after a short hot blanket pack to bring down the fever.&quot; <em>See Natural News.com Article Influenza: A Treatment That Worked; September 09, 2009 by: Kim Evans </em> How simple and effective a treatment protocol this was, and the evidence was that there was nearly a 100% percent success rate as compared to a less than 70% percent success rate in the drug oriented hospitals.&nbsp;<br />
	</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;">&#8212; </span> <span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;"><em>He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man Psalms 104:14</em> </span> <span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;">&#8212;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Free Market Solutions Or Government Solutions For Health Care</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;">Finally as I listen to the two sides debate about health care I hear one side strenuous encourage the free market solution, and yet many of the very ones that promote the free market solution don&#39;t really believe in a free market solution&hellip; here&#39;s why&hellip;because many of them have voted for are taken positions against natural practitioners and have helped create an atmosphere where natural therapies and remedies have been relegated to the level of quackery. </span> <span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;">Not only that, many of those that articulate free market solutions have encouraged or did nothing to prevent organizations like the AMA, the FDA and others to influence the states to shut down and harass natural health practitioners. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;">Very few people know that the AMA attempted to eliminate the Chiropractic profession, basically attempting to relegate them to the status of quacks. However the Chiropractors fought back and won their case in court, and today they are recognized as legitimate doctors. </span> <span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;">If they really believed in free market solutions they would not attempt to say prevent (or stand by and do nothing) an herbalist from providing his clients (he can&#39;t call them his patients) a herbal supplement and instructing them how to use it to help say regulate his blood sugar. They may talk about the need to strictly regulate the herbalist because of safety and possible side-effects of the herb; however, given the fact that over 140,000 Americans die each year from prescription and over the counter pain medications, and 2 million are injured, it seems more time needs to be spent policing the allopathic. </span> <span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;">So when I hear the talk about health care freedom, I regard it as an illusion of the grandest proportions.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;">Consider this&hellip;if an American citizen that has been diagnosed with say cancer <em>chose</em> to have it treated by a natural practitioner; be it a naturopath, herbalist, homeopath etc., he or she cannot do so without the natural practitioner being at risk of being thrown in jail. That American citizen will have to leave his country and go down to maybe Mexico where many natural practitioners have fled to start cancer clinics that practice natural methods. </span> <span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;">Additionally, even if the person sought a medical doctor who happened to also use natural remedies and that doctor used anything but radiation, chemotherapy, or surgery to treat the cancer then he risks losing his medical license. <em> </em> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;">I wonder why there is no outcry about such great restrictions on the right to <em>choose</em> here in America. Could not those who are organizing to oppose the current health care measures also push for real health care choice? </span> <span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;">Finally, with regard to government run health care, of course the less the government is involved it seems to me the better. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;">However, the same type of influence can be, has been, and is exercised by huge insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies, and medical organizations that seem to welcome government involvement with regard to restrictions and regulations when it can benefit them in an effort to corner and control an entire industry. </span> <span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;">And until this system is changed at the root, until competition from natural practitioners that use other modalities that are less expensive, less dangerous, and equally or more effective than the ones currently in use; then there is no hope for health care in America. The price, even if shifted to the government or to the tax payer will continue to rise and eventually the entire system will collapse under the weight of its on debt. </span></p>

<p><a href="http://www.phase3ministries.com/maximum_prostate_with_betasalespg.htm">Prostate Alternative? Maximum Prostate 3000 More Powerful Than Saw Palmetto!</a></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt">Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that assists the body in contesting viral infection, bacterial infections and toxicity. It protects carbohydrates, fats, proteins and nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) from damage induced by free radicals and other reactive species. Vitamin C is required for the manufacture of collagen. Just as cement holds bricks together, collagen is the glue that binds cells together. Vitamin C is required to export the procollagen molecules out of the cell. It is also an important ingredient in the repair process of epithelial tissue insult caused by various gastrointestinal conditions, such as peptic ulcers, ulcerative colitis, Crohn&#8217;s disease, and irritable bowel syndrome.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt"><strong>Foods And Vitamin C<br />
</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt">Vitamin C is found in all fruits and vegetables, especially citrus fruits, strawberries, cantaloupe, green peppers, tomatoes, broccoli, leafy greens, and potatoes. It is water-soluble (can dissolve in water).<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt"><strong>Vitamin C And Science<br />
</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt">One study published by researchers from the Boston University School of Medicine and published in the <em>Archives of Internal Medicine</em> found that a high daily intake of vitamin C may reduce the risk of gout in men.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt">In another study John Hopkins scientists found, according to a John Hopkins press release</span>,<span style="font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt"><br />
</span>&#8220;<span style="font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt">that Nearly 30 years after Nobel laureate Linus Pauling famously and controversially suggested that vitamin C supplements can prevent cancer, a team of Johns Hopkins scientists have shown that in mice at least, vitamin C &#8211; and potentially other antioxidants &#8211; can indeed inhibit the growth of some tumors….The conventional wisdom of how antioxidants such as vitamin C help prevent cancer growth is that they grab up volatile oxygen free radical molecules and prevent the damage they are known to do to our delicate DNA.&#8221; <a href="http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/Press_releases/2007/09_10_07.html"><em>John Hopkins Press Release</em></a>.<em><br />
</em></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt">Another study conducted by researchers from the Institute of Metabolic Science at Addenbrooke&#8217;s Hospital, Cambridge, England, and published in the <em>Archives of Internal Medicine</em> suggested that high levels of dietary vitamin C intake may reduce the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt"><strong>Ester C Vitamin C/ Bioflavonoids<br />
</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt">Ester-C is calcium ascorbate that is used to deliver Vitamin C. It is metabolized very easily in the body so the vitamin is absorbed into the cells of the body. It is considered the best and most effective Vitamin C. Bio-available Ester-C protects skin from free-radical damage, promotes even pigmentation and helps stimulate collagen and elastin production for firmer skin. Ester-C can also deliver advanced antioxidant protection, remaining active in the immune system for up to 24 hours!<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt">Bioflavonoids (vitamin-like molecules that are found in the peel of citrus fruits and other fruits and vegetables) enhance the activity of vitamin C and may improve the body&#8217;s ability to hold and absorb vitamin C by a whopping 35%!<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt">The God-given natural remedies, if we employ them with consistency, and bring our overall lifestyles in harmony with God&#8217;s health laws will prove to be beyond our wildest expectations.<br />
