16. Give a bottle to a friend or loved one that you know has aches, pains, or headaches!

Pain pHree Is Amazing!

This amazing blend of essential oils affects pain in two ways. Most topical pain relievers contain camphor, which can be dangerous over time and offers only an analgesic property, numbing pain. Pain pHree does have a powerful analgesic to ease pain that is safer than camphor. It also has other qualities to enhance its pain relieving effects. Pain pHree addresses pain from stiffness with analgesic oil that increases circulation and stimulates healing. It also addresses pain in a unique way that most topical pain products miss: by reducing inflammation and spasms. One cause of pain is inflammation due to over-acidity of the blood and tissues, which can be caused by various factors, including overuse, repetitive motion, structural or functional imbalances, or acid build up in the tissues from lifestyle and diet. Pain is also often present when there are muscle spasms, or trigger point spasms. Relief from inflammation or spasms will often completely eliminate the pain that they cause locally. Pain pHree contains powerful anti-inflammatory and anti-spasmodic oil which addresses pain caused by these factors. The use of both pain relieving components makes Pain pHree a superior topical pain relieving product!

Pregnant women should avoid this product due to the Clary Sage content which has been shown to stimulate labor.

Pain pHree comes in a 10ml dropper bottle for $19.95. One bottle contains approximately 200 uses. We want to encourage you to use Pain pHree in as many ways as possible by offering a special discount because we are sure you will love it as much as we do. This special offer is for a limited time only!

On Dr. Robert O. Young and Blood Microscopy

Time is a vampire that flies in the night
like Bela Lugosi, in full flight, with Hungarian
accent, phonetically speaking English,
and oh! with so much feeling!

How the undead can relish delight
when succulent pleasure comes in sight!
The senses flourish, hormones pumping
*seemingly*, without a heart that’s thumping,
coursing blood to all the cells,
drinking water from deeper wells
to keep the land fresh, and irrigated.

You think that he’d feel *irritated*
to be lacking all of that,
But no! like the Cat in the Hat,
he comes back and back and back and back,
smacking his lips on my TV screen
for blood; nearly ready to cream.
It’s definitely a sexual thing –
at least in the sense of satisfying
longing like an itch that scratches
but *way deeper* than sullen patches
of mere desire. No … deeper still,
where hunger joins with fired will
to stoke the furnace, lick the flame,
begin in earnest to try again
to taste the flavor of deeper feeling:
blood that lives, all un-congealing.
How fantasy can be so revealing!
On *many* levels, the *least* of which
is the purely physical .

This Friday, we’ll go to hear and see
a master of live blood microscopy, Dr. Robert O. Young.
He draws some living, vital stuff
then takes a peek, and that’s enough
to tell you what you have been eating,
and therefore how your body’s treating
you like you’ve been treating it:
giving gold for gold and shit for shit!

Right away, he can settle the case –
if your cells are acidic or truly base.
If alkaline, as they should be,
your body functions harmoniously.
If acid, then there’s trouble brewing,
disease and cancers all accruing
there, along with inflammation
at the cellular level. Such degradation
*need not be*; it just reflects
the degree of our ignorant self-neglect.

Create the right environment
internally and life will thrive
harmoniously, to keep alive
what *should* be living,
and fail to support the rest.

“It’s all in the blood”, he says.
And it does indeed seem true:
In the state of perfect balance,
Life Becomes New.--

Gratitude and Appreciation For Life Changing Science

The following is an unsolicited testimony from Tammy Copenhaver. Tammy shares her ten year experience with The pH Miracle Lifestyle, Diet, Supplements, and Dr. Young.

December 24 at 7:28pm

Dear Dr. Young,

I love your Christmas gift suggestions! My gift to you my mentor and friend, is gratitude and appreciation.I had no idea 10 years ago when I listened to Tony Robbins "Get the Edge" and he mentioned a "green drink" that I would someday be so indebted to the man who made that drink.

Thank you for the guidance to help my husband through cancer 9 years ago and inspiring me to further my nursing education to become a Doctor of Naturopathy so that I can empower others as you empowered me. I just finished my final practicum and my educational video will be the first one Clayton College ever used on their website from a student! In it I talk to my 10 year old about swine flu and we begin where I always do with the most important thing to remember, "It's not the germ, it's the terrain".

I have had many wonderful courses but I remain steadfast and committed to spreading your research and knowledge of alkalizing the body. Thank you for all the incredible products you have created that I use and recommend to every client. I have personally seen them help myself, my family, and friends. Liquid Chlorophyll is my current favorite, but I also love pHour salts, the oxygen spray mist, the clay, the Liquid Sliver, Biolight, Metabolean, PH-D3,Etc!

My children have been completely healthy since we started alkalizing and have overcome all the issues they used to struggle with like allergies, ear infections, irritable bowel, and warts. I have been waiting for a long time to meet you in person and tell you how much I appreciate you and how grateful I am to have been blessed with your friendship. Hopefully 2010 will be that year.
Until then, I wish you love, laughter, and all the joy your heart can hold. You are simply the best!

With Love and Respect,

Tammy Copenhaver

Eating Nuts May Prevent Cancerous Lungs and Prostate

The appended article below indicates that nuts, particularly pistashio nuts, will help prevent Lung Cancer and Prostate Cancer, etc., etc. I have long recommended that a healthy alkaline diet should contain a wide array of nuts and nut milks, including almond, hazel, pecan, macadamea, and pine nut, just to name a few. I have also suggested for years that nuts be sprouted and also juiced before ingested because they are so hard if not impossible to digest.

The following article is just more evidence of the efficacy of my adivice.

In love and light,

Dr. Robert O. Young

Daily Dose of Nuts Reduces Cancer Risk
December 10, 2009

(Ivanhoe Newswire) -- A diet that incorporates a daily dose of pistachios may help reduce the risk of lung and other cancers.

"It is known that vitamin E provides a degree of protection against certain forms of cancer,” Ladia M. Hernandez, M.S., R.D., L.D., senior research dietitian in the Department of Epidemiology at the University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center, was quoted as saying. Higher intakes of gamma-tocopherol, a form of vitamin E, may reduce the risk of lung cancer.

"Pistachios are a good source of gamma-tocopherol,” said Hernandez. “Eating them increases intake of gamma-tocopherol so pistachios may help to decrease lung cancer risk."

Pistachios are known to be heart-healthy. They have a cholesterol-lowering effect and provide the antioxidants typically found in food products of plant origin. Hernandez and colleagues conducted a six-week, controlled clinical trial to determine whether the consumption of pistachios would increase serum levels of gamma-tocopherol.

"Because epidemiologic studies suggest gamma-tocopherol is protective against prostate cancer, pistachio intake may help," she said. "Other food sources that are a rich source of gamma-tocopherol include nuts such as peanuts, pecans, walnuts, soybean and corn oils."

The study, conducted at Texas Woman's University -- Houston Center, included 36 healthy participants who were randomized into either a control group or the intervention group, which ate a pistachio diet. After an initial baseline period, the intervention group was given about 2 ounces of pistachios per day. The control group continued with their normal diet.

Hernandez and colleagues found a significant increase in energy-adjusted dietary intake of gamma-tocopherol at weeks three and four in those on the pistachio diet. For those on the pistachio diet, cholesterol-adjusted serum gamma-tocopherol was significantly higher at the end of the intervention period. "Pistachios are one of those 'good-for-you' nuts, and 2 ounces per day could be incorporated into dietary strategies designed to reduce the risk of lung cancer without significant changes in body mass index," said Hernandez.

Drinking Beer Will Make You Fat, Sterile and Feminized

The appended article below intends to support the thesis that Hops in beer, etc., helps to decrease the effects of testosterone on promoting the growth of prostate tumors. What the article does not say, is the way hops achieves that effect is by either mimicking an estrogen or deactivating testosterone or other androgens. This so-called science is VERY alarming to me, given the propensity of adolescents to drink copious quantities of beer! The effects would be "feminizing" to males and hyper-feminization in young women, and leading to a host of reproductive disorders, including fertility problems.

It may be that the syndrome referred to as "beer belly" or "acid gut" is even more malignant than just contributing to obesity. Large quantities of beer being consumed at frat parties, etc., may be causing young males not only to become obese, but also to develop breasts, lose libido, and cause the feminization of males
and the hyper-feminization of females.

Hops may Prevent Prostate Cancer

December 9, 2009

(Ivanhoe Newswire) -- The natural compound xanthohumol, which is derived from hops, blocks the effects of the male hormone testosterone, aiding in the prevention of prostate cancer.

"We hope that one day we can demonstrate that xanthohumol prevents prostate cancer development, first in animal models and then in humans, but we are just at the beginning," Clarissa Gerhauser, Ph.D., group leader of cancer chemoprevention in the Division of Epigenomics and Cancer Risk Factors at the German Cancer Research Center in Heidelberg, Germany, was quoted as saying.

Xanthohumol belongs to the group of flavonoids that are found in many plants, fruit, vegetables and spices, especially in hops. Studies to date have shown that xanthohumol blocks the action of estrogen by binding to its receptor, which may lead to prevention of breast cancer. Since testosterone receptors behave similarly to estrogen receptors, the researchers sought to determine whether xanthohumol might not only block the effects of estrogen, but also of the male hormone androgen.

Dr. Gerhauser and colleagues stimulated hormone-dependent prostate cancer cells with testosterone, which led to a massive secretion of prostate specific antigen (PSA), an early indicator of prostate cancer in men. Cells were then treated with testosterone and xanthohumol. "Xanthohumol prevented the receptor from translocating to the cell nucleus, thus inhibiting its potential to stimulate the secretion of PSA and other hormone-dependent effects," Dr. Gerhauser said.

When researchers measured the anti-androgenic potential of xanthohumol in a rat model, they found that although xanthohumol was not able to prevent an increase in prostate weight after testosterone treatment, it could reduce testosterone-increased seminal vesicle weight.

Dr. Gerhauser said, "Although the prostate weights were not changed, xanthohumol still reduced the effects of hormone signaling, such as gene expression, measured in the prostate tissue."

CT Scans Cause Death and Cancer

Radiation from CT scans done in 2007 will cause 29,000 cancers and kill nearly 15,000 Americans, researchers said on Monday.

The findings, published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, add to mounting evidence that Americans are overexposed to radiation from diagnostic tests, especially from a specialized kind of X-ray called a computed tomography, or CT, scan.

"What we learned is there is a significant amount of radiation with these CT scans, more than what we thought, and there is a significant number of cancers," said Dr. Rita Redberg, editor of the Archives of Internal Medicine, where the studies were published.

"It's estimated that just from the CT scans done in one year, just in 2007, there will be 15,000 excess deaths," Redberg said in a telephone interview.

"We're doing millions of CT scans every year and the numbers are increasing. That is a lot of excess deaths."

CT scans give doctors a view inside the body, often eliminating the need for exploratory surgery. But CT scans involve much higher radiation dose than conventional X-rays. A chest CT scan exposes the patient to more than 100 times the radiation dose of a chest X-ray.

About 70 million CT scans were done on Americans in 2007, up from 3 million in 1980. Amy Berrington de Gonzalez of the National Cancer Institute and colleagues developed a computer model to estimate the impact of so many scans.

They estimated the scans done in 2007 will cause 29,000 cancers. A third of the projected cancers will occur in people who were ages 35 to 54 when they got their CT, two-thirds will occur in women and 15 percent will arise from scans done in children or teens.

The researchers estimated there will be an extra 2,000 excess breast cancers just from CT scans done in 2007.

UNNEEDED TESTS

Redberg, who wrote a commentary on the studies, said U.S. doctors' enthusiasm for the tests has led to an explosion in their use that is putting patients at risk.

"While certainly some of the scans are incredibly important and life saving, it is also certain that some of them were not necessary," Redberg said.

In a separate study, Dr. Rebecca Smith-Bindman of the University of California, San Francisco, and colleagues analyzed data from 1,119 patients undergoing the 11 most common types of diagnostic CT scans at four institutions in 2008.

They found radiation dosage varied widely between different types of CT studies, from a median or midpoint of 2 millisieverts for a routine head CT scan to 31 millisieverts for a scan of the abdomen and pelvis, which often involves taking multiple images of the same organ.

By comparison, the average American is exposed to about 3 millisieverts of radiation a year from ground radon or flying in an airplane -- a level not considered a risk to health.

The researchers said efforts need to be taken to minimize CT radiation exposure, including reducing the number of unnecessary tests, cutting the dose per study, and standardizing the doses across facilities.

Imaging equipment makers such as GE Healthcare, Siemens, Philips and Toshiba Medical Systems are working to develop low-dose CT scanners.

Autism Is ON The Rise

Almost one percent of American children had an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in a large CDC surveillance study whose lead author called the condition a "significant public health issue."

Across 11 sites in the U.S., ASD prevalence in 2006 ranged from about one out of 80 children to one out of every 240 children, with an overall prevalence of one in 111 youngsters, according to a report by investigators from the CDC's Autism and Developmental Disorders Monitoring (ADDM) Network.

They reported their findings in the Dec. 18 Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.

"These new numbers are concerning and indicate that even more individuals, families, and communities are struggling to find answers," said lead author Catherine Rice, PhD, of the National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities, during a conference call with reporters.

The overall estimate is slightly lower than that from a study using data from the 2007 National Survey of Children's Health -- one in every 91 children -- that was published in October. (See Wider Net Catches More Cases of Autism Disorders)

However, among 10 ADDM sites that reported data in both 2002 and 2006, there was an average 57% increase in ASD prevalence. No single factor could explain the rise, researchers said.

Overall ASD prevalence was 4.5 times higher in boys than in girls: about one in every 70 boys and one in every 315 girls.

From 2002 to 2006, prevalence increased 60% in boys and 48% in girls (P<0.001 for both).

"Some of the increases are due to better detection, particularly among children who may not have come to attention in the past, including girls, Hispanic children, and children without cognitive impairment," Rice said.

"However, a simple explanation is not apparent and a true increase in risk cannot be ruled out."

Janet Farmer, PhD, of the Thompson Center for Autism and Neuro-developmental Disorders at the University of Missouri in Columbia, said that, taken together, the current findings and those presented in October" add substantially to the body of evidence that the prevalence of autism is increasing."

The American Academy of Pediatrics has recommended that all children be screened for autism when they are 18 and 24 months old.

These findings should reinforce that guidance, according to Shlomo Shinnar, MD, PhD, of Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York.

This is "especially important, as early recognition and treatment improves outcomes," he wrote in an e-mail.

In a statement on its Web site, the advocacy group Autism Speaks placed the burden of dealing with ASDs on the federal government, calling for enhanced efforts and increased funding.

"Now that the government has confirmed that one percent of American children have autism, the question becomes what it will take to get our elected leaders to wake up and take on this crisis in an appropriate way," said Bob Wright, co-founder of the organization.

"We need meaningful action now that acknowledges the scope of this problem and allocates the resources necessary to take the fight against autism to a new level," he said.

In a teleconference reporting the October findings, Tom Insel, MD, director of the National Institute of Mental Health, said President Barack Obama has proposed an increase in funding for autism research from $42 million this year to $48 million next year.

In 2006, the ADDM Network collected data from 11 areas of the U.S., including parts of Alabama, Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, Missouri, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Wisconsin.

Health and education records were retrospectively reviewed to identify children with ASD, including autistic disorder, pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified, and Asperger disorder. Only 8-year-olds were analyzed because previous studies have shown most children have been diagnosed by this age.

In 2006, ASD prevalence ranged from 4.2 per 1,000 children in Florida to 12.1 per 1,000 children in Arizona and Missouri.

All sites but Florida contributed data to the 2002 assessment. Among these sites, all but Colorado reported a significant increase in ASD prevalence ranging from 34% to 95% (P<0.01).

ASD diagnosis was made at a slightly younger age in 2006 than in 2002, but it was still delayed to an average age of 53 months. That was so despite the fact that anywhere from 70% to 95% of children had developmental concerns noted in their records before age 3.

ASD was more prevalent among non-Hispanic whites (9.9 per 1,000) than among non-Hispanic blacks (7.2) and Hispanics (5.9) (P<0.001).

Susan Hyman, MD, an expert in developmental disabilities at the University of Rochester in New York, said these are "important data for public health officials examining etiologic associations, educational services planning to meet the needs of the students they serve, and social service organizations who need to plan for adolescents and adults who will ultimately transition out of the educational system."

Responding to the report, Lisa Ackerman, executive director of the advocacy group Talk About Curing Autism (TACA), said in a statement that the group "strongly believes that we have a national epidemic on our hands that is not being adequately addressed."

The rapidity of the increase, the organization said, points to an environmental cause for the disorders.

"Therefore," the statement read, "we need to explore and research the environmental triggers that are affecting our children at approximately the same time in their lives -- regardless of race and ethnicity."

Rice said, "The CDC considers ASDs to be a significant public health issue. Increased concern in communities, continued demand for services, and increasing estimates of ASD prevalence underscore the need for a coordinated and strong response to improve the lives of people with ASDs"

According to Dr. Robert O. Young, Director of Research at the pH Miracle Living Center, "ASD is the result of many different acidic contributors, including vaccinations, antibiotics and acidic foods and drinks. I have found great success in the prevention and reversal of ASD's with an alkaline lifestyle and diet. When children with ASD clear their bowels their brains clear as well. I have also found in all children with ASD low sodium levels and congestion and/or damage to the small and large intestine. The focal point of reversing ASD must be a holistic approach with a focus on healing the small bowel which in turn will calm the brain."

Dietary and Metabolic Acids Can Make You Sick, Tried and Depressed

Although more men may be saved from dying of prostate cancer due to advances in screening and treatment, a new study suggests that emotional stress (which causes an increase of metabolic acid in the blood and then tissues) from being diagnosed with the disease carries deadly risks. A study of more than four million Swedish men over the age of 30 found that the diagnosis of prostate cancer, which occurred in more than 168,000 of them during the study period, amplified the risk of fatal heart problems and suicide.

In men who were diagnosed before 1987, the risk of a fatal heart attack during the week following diagnosis increased 11-fold, and the risk of suicide increased 800 percent. After 1987, the risks of suffering a non-fatal heart attack during the first week of diagnosis fell to 300 percent. But the risk of suicide, although small, held steady. During the year following diagnosis, the risk of both heart attacks and suicide diminished but did not disappear.

"The risks are highest during the first week after diagnosis and young men seem to be most vulnerable," the authors said in a statement, noting that men 54 years of age and under were the most vulnerable. "These unrecognized consequences of a prostate cancer diagnosis deserve the attention of health professionals to the increasing number of men that are diagnosed with this disease."

"Stress can be an important trigger for physiologic reactions, including increased risk of cardiovascular disease," Dr. Meir Stampfer, professor of nutrition and epidemiology at the Harvard School of Public Health, told ABC News. "The diagnosis of cancer also can cause high enough stress to see a noticeable increase in both heart disease and suicide."

According to Dr. Robert O. Young, Director of the pH Miracle Center, "emotional stress requires energy and the consumption of energy leaves acidic residues that can make you sick, tired, and depressed."

One in six American men will develop a cancerous prostate at some point during his lifetime.

According to Dr. Robert O. Young, "a cancerous prostate is not only preventable with an alkalizing lifestyle and diet but is also reversible with the same pH Miracle Plan. Once you understand that cancer is caused by dietary and/or metabolic acid then you can prevent a cancerous condition by maintaining the alkaline design of the body."

The pH Miracle for Reversing Stuttering

An unsolicited testimony from Angie Johnson Roach on The pH Miracle

My son began stuttering when he was 4 years old. We did every kind of therapy possible when in school and professionally and he seem to struggle more. In his early teens I started to Question his food choices. We tried him on more of a diabetic type diet, and saw improvement. Then we where introduced to the idea of Dr. Youngs alkaliaztion and "... See MoreSuper Greens". His fluency went from 35% to 100% with staying power in just a short time. If he eats cold cereal for breakfast, to many carbs and sweets. It's out the window. This has been almost 8-9 years ago. He's in College now and doing great. Stuttering is so rare, Good food choices, good Vitamins, especially B's and the good Omega Oils, both help with stress. I hope this can help someone today! Thanks to the Youngs we can make better choices. God bless you and Merry christmas!

Reversing Autism With The pH Miracle Lifestyle and Diet

The following is another unsolicited pH Miracle Testimony on reversing Autism from Tony Paterniti:

Our 21-year-old, severely autistic daughter (low-functioning) met Dr. Young last night. He spent some time connecting with her, looked at her blood, and sorted out the extreme crisis she had been going through for the past week - thrashing wildly about in apparent pain, with loud vocalizations and no sleep for a full week.

We applied his immediate suggestions, and by the time we got home at around 10 p.m. (the meeting was some distance from our home), she was quiet and still. Heading up to bed an hour later, we could see the exhaustion of the past week finally descending upon her, looking for rejuvenation - and knowing she would find it.

Elena slept peacefully through the night. By morning, it was clear that the serious gut issues Dr. Young had tuned in on had been cleared - at least for the moment. Clearly, we are now on a path with Elena that can only lead to more good, more health and greater well-being.

And for this, we feel extremely grateful and happy.

Blessings on you and on your assistants, Dr. Young - Especially during Elena's time of extreme crisis, you were - and are - a godsend.

Our Doctor Told Us There Was No Cure For Autism!

The following is an unsolicited pH Miracle testimony for Autism. I hope you will share this incredible story with everyone you know, love and care about.


In love and healing,
Dr. Robert O. Young

================================================================

Dear Dr. Robert Young

We would like to share a pH Miracle with you.

We have a son born 06.06.06. Until he got his first vaccination, about three months old, he was a very happy, peaceful boy ,who smiled a lot and slept thewhole night from the day he was born.
From the moment of vaccination his life changed in a dramatic way. Ten minutes later he had very high fever and thenthe game was on. He got ear infection right away, and they started to give him penicillin. The next 2 years, he was always sick. A runny nose and a high fever all the time. Some days were without fever, but always a runny nose. We decided as parents not to give him any more vaccinations after the first ones. Around that time we start to noticed that he was slow to develop, and he did not start to walk until he was 16 months old. He was always weak in his upper body and powerless in his arms. He had diarrhea many times.

About three months ago he was diagnosed with Autism. And the doctor told us, that there was very little we could do. Perhaps with a lot of practice and speech therapy we would be able to make his life more easy for him. He said there is no cure for Autism.

At this time our son could not say a single word. He had a lackof understanding when we talked to him. He did not follow instructions. For example, he did not mind staying alone in a dark room (by his own choosing). He did not mind other children, and did not participate in games with other children.He seemed to be alone inside him self.

We did not want to believe that there was nothing that we could do to heal him.

So than we started to search for information about Autism, in any way we could, on the Internet, by books etc.

We had some knowledge and interest about nutrition and physical condition. The pH of food was one of the things we had been looking in to.
We made a decision that it would probably be best to start him on a pH Miracle Diet. His Mother, Helga, made the decision to start to change her diet two weeks prior, sothat she could be able to guide the rest of the family through cravings and those things that include changing the diet of the whole family.
We took a roll of garbage bags and took every acidic food and drink from the kitchen that would be harmful to our body's. We took foods that included gluten, sugar, yeast, allprocessed food, bad oils and fats, dairy products, and fermented soy products. As you can imagine, there was almost nothing left, and Hlynur (the husband) began to worry, and said,"we were going to starve to death :-)."

Today, Helga, is giving our son alkalizing vegetables, and is using many methods and to do that. We love our new super alkalizing pH Miracle food.
After three weeks, on the new pH Miracle diet, our autistic son was able to assemble 2-3 words in a sentence. He started to follow instructions and he started to understand what wewere talking about. The diarrhea also stopped.

Today, 2 1/2 months later, he tries to say everything that we ask him to say. He participates in games with other children and he seeks for them to play with him. He goes to sleep by himself and says goodnight. He has started to try tosing along with songs. He looks into our eyes and finally he is present.

There are so many things that we could share about our son's pH miracle transformation.
People in kindergarten, friends and family are amazed of our son's pH Miracle changes he has shown for this short period of time. Last but not least, Helga has lost over 20 pounds in the same time :-)

We have attached two photos of our son. The one with the dolphin was shot before the transformation, and the other was shot today eating a cucumber.

Best regards,


Helga and Hlynur

Exercise May Prevent or Reverse Cancer

There is an increasing body of research evidence to suggest that many cases of cancer can be prevented through an alkaline lifestyle and diet. Indeed, even conservative estimates suggest that more than 60 percent of new cancer cases could be prevented simply by abstaining from unhealthy acidic lifestyle and dietary habits.

(I have suggested that 98 percent of all cancerous conditions are preventable with rigorous alkaline lifestyle and diet changes.)

Given that, in the best case, modern cancer treatments result in the long-term survival of only about 10 percent of all cancer patients, and that the survival rate for many of the most lethal cancers still remains far more dismal, an ounce of cancer prevention is certainly worth much more than a pound of so-called cancer cure. (This simple yet profound realization is the central theme of The pH Miracle for Cancer CD's.

http://www.phmiracleliving.com/p-253-the-ph-miracle-for-cancer.aspx

While not every case of cancer can be reversed through and alkaline lifestyle and diet regime, many of the terrible, and ultimately fatal, cancer cases might have been prevented with reasonably moderate alkaline alterations in the way that people choose to live their daily lives.

Prostate cancer is the most common non-skin cancer that occurs in men, and the second most common cause of cancer death in men. In 2009, an estimated 192,000 new cases of prostate cancer will be diagnosed, and approximately 27,000 men will die of this acidic dis-ease. Prostate cancer currently afflicts 1 out of every 6 American men, and accounts for 25 percent of all cancer diagnoses in men (similar, I might add, to the percentage of breast cancer cases among all cancer cases diagnosed in women). Most prostate cancers are stimulated by the hormone acids testosterone and other androgens produced by the testes, and by other tissues in the body.

The relationship between prostate cancer risk and exercise has not been entirely clear, thus far, as various clinical studies have produced contradictory findings. Some of these studies have suggested that high levels of daily physical activity may reduce the risk of prostate cancer, while other studies have not confirmed a link between prostate cancer risk and physical activity levels.

A new prospective public health study, just published in the British Journal of Cancer, adds further important evidence that increased levels of physical activity may indeed reduce the risk of developing prostate cancer. In this newly published study, nearly 46,000 men between the ages of 45 and 70 years were prospectively followed between 1998 and 2007. All of these male volunteers completed extensive questionnaires regarding their daily levels of physical activities at 30 years of age and at 50 years of age, as well as at the time or their entry into this clinical study.

These questionnaires specifically included questions regarding walking or bicycling; current waist, hip and height measurements; education level; cigarette smoking; alcohol consumption; diabetes; family history of prostate cancer; and other lifestyle factors. Six predefined activity levels for occupational activity (from “mostly sitting down” to “heavy manual labor”), and additional predefined categories for time spent on different activities, were specifically included in the questionnaire, such as walking or bicycling (“hardly ever” to “more than 90 min per day”), home or household work (“less than 1 hour per day” to “more than 8 hours per day”), inactive leisure time (“from 2 hours per day or less” to “5 hours per day or more”), and active leisure-time exercising (“from less than 1 hour per week” to “more than 5 hours per week”). The patient volunteers were also queried regarding the average number of hours per day they spent sleeping.

When the men who engaged in physical activity at the highest levels were compared with those at the lowest levels, some very important differences in prostate cancer risk emerged. Overall, very high levels of physical activity were associated with a 16 percent reduction in the risk of developing prostate cancer.

Why? Because exercise removes dietary and/or metabolic acids out of the tissues. And, keep in mind that acid is the cause for all cancerous conditions.

Additionally, among the men who spent at least half of their work days being physically active, the risk of prostate cancer was 20 percent lower when compared to men who spent most of their work day sitting down. Specifically, and very importantly, there appeared to be a linear and progressive decrease in prostate cancer risk with each additional 30 minutes of walking or bicycling per day over the course of the adult lifetimes of these men (this linear relationship was noted within a range of 30 to 120 minutes of walking or bicycling per day). Additionally, the risk of developing advanced prostate cancer appeared to be further lessened by regular daily physical activity which once again removes the acid that will cause cancer.

Cardiovascular disease remains the most common cause of premature death in most societies. Cancer is the No. 2 cause of premature death when including people of all ages, and the No. 1 cause of premature death below the age of 80 in the United States. Regular exercise, including relatively moderate activities such as brisk walking or bicycling, have been shown to significantly reduce the risk of death due to cardiovascular disease, as well as, increasingly, the risk of developing or dying from multiple different types of cancer. Based upon the results of this well-designed and well-executed prospective clinical research study, it would appear that prostate cancer can be added to the list of life-threatening illnesses for which the risk can be decreased through regular and frequent physical activity (and both at work and at home).

May The pHorce Be With You!

 src=
pH Miracle® Alka-pHorce™
Portable Alkalizing pHorce

When your life takes you on the road, away from your pH Miracle® Mark I Ionizer, you can now take the pHorce with you!

This high quality stainless steel cartridge contains a selection of alkalizing minerals that will raise the pH of your water and various other liquids. Simply insert the Alka-pHorce into a your water container and let it alkalize the liquid for you. And it's safe to leave the Alka-pHorce submerged indefinitely. Below are some of the popular uses and advantages.


The pH Miracle® Alka-pHorce:

Is narrow enough to fit in narrow-neck bottled water containers for when you're on the go and need to alkalize a bottle of filtered water.

Will maintain the O.R.P. of water dispensed from your ionizer for the entire day or even return the O.R.P. of your ionized water bottled earlier that day. This is the perfect solution for those forced to "brown bag" their ionized bottled water to work.

Raises the pH of most filtered water to 9.5. It only takes a few minutes to alkalize a 12-32oz container; 15 minutes for a one gallon container

Can be strategically placed in automatic water systems for animals to alkalize their drinking water.

Can be used in hot water to improve alkalinity of teas and even coffee.

Has been tested to continue alkalizing for a full year!

Is small in size. Approximately 4.5 inches long and less than 3/4 inches in diameter.

Weight: 1/10 of a pound

While this cartridge does have the ability to raise the pH of water, it cannot possibly raise the O.R.P., like the pH Miracle® Mark I. It is, therefore, not a replacement for ionizers and cannot be expected to produce similar results. It furthermore does not filter your water or kill microbial life forms. For best results place the Alka-pHorce™ in suitable filtered water when an ionizer is not available.

Price: $89.95

A Diet Loaded With Alkaline Buffers or Phytonutrients Will Keep Your Body Healthy and Strong

(NaturaqlNews) If you ever feel tempted to go for a cheeseburger, fries and a soft drink, consider this: along with the fast food, you are ordering up an increased risk of heart disease, diabetes and obesity. But the opposite is true, too. According to a new University of Florida (UF) study, if you stay away from processed and fast foods and instead eat a lot of veggies, nuts and fruit, you will actively be helping to prevent or reverse harmful metabolic processes in your body. The result? Better health and a slimmer body.

An important advantage to having plant-based foods as an abundant part of your daily diet appears to result from the phytochemicals they contain. As noted in the UF findings recently published in the Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics, these natural substances prevent oxidative stress -- a process linked to being overweight and to the onset of diseases including heart disease and diabetes. Phytochemicals include lycopene from tomatoes, isoflavones from soy, beta carotene from carrots, anthocyanins from blueberries, allicin from garlic, and many more.

"Without enough phytochemicals and antioxidants or anti-acids to counteract oxidative or fermenting stress, damaging dietary and/or metabolic acids will cause inflammation and other toxic problems in the body, states Dr. Robert O. Young, research scientist at The pH Miracle Living Center.

"In overweight people, excess acidic waste is stored in the connective and fatty tissues, making you sick, tired and fat," states Dr. Young.

The research team, headed by Heather K. Vincent, Ph.D., studied a group of 54 young adults divided into a normal weight and an overweight or obese group, analyzing their dietary patterns over several days. Surprisingly, the people in both groups took in about the same amount of calories. However, the overweight and obese young people were found to be eating fewer plant-based foods. That means those who were carrying around excess pounds were consuming fewer protective trace minerals and phytochemicals or better said, alkaline buffers and consuming far more saturated fats. In addition, those eating less plant-based foods were found to have higher levels of oxidative stress or over-acid and inflammation in their bodies than their normal-weight counterparts. This is a crucial finding because oxidative stress or over-acidity and inflammation are processes clearly associated with the onset of obesity, heart disease, diabetes and joint disease. According to Dr. Young, "you cannot have inflammation that leads to ovesity, heart disease, diabetes and joint disease without dietary and/or metabolic acid."

"Diets low in plant-based foods affect health over the course of a long period of time," Dr. Vincent explained in a statement to the press. "This is related to annual weight gain, inflammation and oxidative stress. Those are the onset processes of disease that debilitate people later in life."

"People who are obese need more fruit, vegetables, legumes and wholesome unrefined grains," she said. "In comparison to a normal-weight person, an obese person is always going to be behind the eight ball because there are so many adverse metabolic processes going on.

"In order to get enough protective phytochemicals daily, the UF researchers concluded that people should try to consume plant-based foods such as leafy greens, fruits, vegetables, nuts and legumes at the start of each meal.

As a way to encourage people to get enough phytochemicals from meals and snacks, Dr. Vincent also called for use of a phytochemical index, which compares the number of calories consumed from plant-based, nutrient-rich foods with the overall number of calories taken in each day.

"Fill your plate with colorful, low-calorie, varied-texture foods derived from plants first. By slowly eating phytochemical-rich foods such as salads with olive oil or fresh-cut fruit before the actual meal, you will likely reduce the overall portion size, fat content and energy intake. In this way, you're ensuring that you get the variety of protective, disease-fighting phytochemicals you need and controlling caloric intake," said Vincent, an assistant professor in the UF Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine Institute, in the media statement.

"The key to a healthy and strong body is eating liberal amounts of alkaline green fruit and vegetables. Green fruit and vegetables are not only loaded with alkaline buffers or phytonutrients but also loaded with chlorophyll that will help build healthy red blood cells and in turn healthy body cells," states Dr. Young.

My Hope and Prayer This Thanksgiving and Christmas Holiday

This Thanksgiving and Christmas Holiday we now find ourselves as a nation and as a planet, in quite a bit of political, economic, health and enviornmental disarray. We are all looking for ways to make ends meet and cut down on the stress in our lives. So I will address these issues.

My guess is that many of you feel some sort of concern about financial issues whether it is the daily budget, dwindling savings, credit card bills, money for college bills, mileage and gas prices for the aging family automobiles, and so on. Its the same at the Young homestead here at Rancho Del Sol. Every year I pray for more rain and try to figure out how to save money on the expensive California water we need for thousands of avocado and grapefruit trees. I am always trying to figure out where to save money so I can use that money to reach more people around the world with a pH Miracle message of health and well-being.

If you read my email letters on a regular basis, you will know that I am quite positive that following a healthy, organic, alkaline diet with many raw, green vegetables will save you money over time.

Whether you have 50 more years to live or 25, most medical expenses have traditionally occurred in the later years of life. And those expenses can be a thing of the past. Once your body is alkaline, and once you have rebuilt your blood with my C.O.W.S. program, and once the pH of your urine is around 7.4 on a consistent basis, you are well on your way to permanently increased health and vigor as well as great financial savings.

Remember, the #1 reason for bankruptcy in America for many years has been medical bills. That will not happen to you. I hear from people all the time that pretty much the only reason they visit the doctor anymore is to gloat a bit, to follow-up on some old ailment now in the rear-view mirror, to lecture the poor old besieged doc on the importance of nutrition in health, or to give him a copy of The pH Miracle book. By the way, if you write to me and tell me that you really did get your doctor to read The pH Miracle book that Shelley and I wrote, I'll send you a free copy to replace the one you gave to your physician. I will also be fascinated to hear your story. In fact, I may share it with everybody in one of these emails.

Many people who have been following a balanced pH 80/20 alkaline/acid diet for many years tell us about all the different ways they save money. Some people have replaced their health insurance with a combination of self-insurance, accident insurance, a hospital indemnity policy, and disability programs. Some people on Medicare have not purchased the supplemental insurance because they have not visited the former family physician for several years and are hoping not to for the rest of their lives. Besides, they tell me, they aren't likely to go the drug route anyway now that they know the cucumber and avocado route.

Many have told us that they have saved money because they no longer have doctor visits, co-pays, pharmaceutical drugs, deductibles, tests, clinic and lab fees, medical gadgets, lost time and sick days, and so on. Not to mention the increased energy, creativity, and productivity.

Now lets talk about stress. About two years ago, I emailed you an article about Mother Theresa whose level of consciousness allowed her to function in love, joy, peace and enlightenment. Many of you said that you enjoyed that article. Such states of mind--whether they are linked to experiences that are primarily sensory, emotional, psychological, intellectual or spiritual--can only be accompanied by an absence of stress at the physiological or body level.

If you read my emails with any consistency, then you know that there is a solid scientific link between the mind and the body, the psychosomatic or the "somatopsychic." It goes both ways. We started hearing the world psychosomatic at least 40 or 50 years ago. The mind can cause the body to suffer and the body can cause the mind to suffer. Therefore, it makes good sense to take care of both.

I have discussed from time to time the importance of minimizing stress in our lives. When our minds are filled with thoughts and feelings that include the negative perceptions and experiences of fear, anger and sadness, we are vulnerable to the creation of excessive bodily acid. Toxic acids are actually secreted from various parts of the body directly into the bloodstream when we are in a negative emotional state.

On the other hand, leading a life that includes more experiences in what we might call the love zone can be a challenge. I forget who coined the word love zone, but this state of being includes feelings of affection, joy, compassion, empathy, kindness, happiness and bliss. But living in this zone--you may have noticed--is easier said than done. The world seems so often to pull mightily at the most vulnerable areas of our lives. Our preoccupation with the outer world and things over which we have no control can keep us from entering into those precious moments or hours in the stress-free love zone.

There is one thing in particular that we can do to help us frequent this zone as much as possible. And I will back into this concept with a little story which I enjoy. I call this the 1,000 avocados for God story. It goes like this:

A plantation owner, somewhat foolishly accustomed to bartering with God, prayed for a good harvest. He pleaded thusly: "Dear God, if You would please bring me a great avocado harvest, as a service I will give You 1,000 avocados from the harvest."God granted him a great harvest.

Thus, the plantation owner loaded up a thousand avocados in his wagon and had his foreman deliver them to the temple. Along the way, the foreman was pestered by two little beggar boys who pleaded for an avocado to ward off their hunger. "Shoo, shoo, go away," said the foreman, knowing that the plantation owner had loaded exactly 1,000 avocados.

The hungry little boys ran alongside the wagon and continued to beg. Finally, the hired hand relented and gave each of them an avocado. He thought to himself, who would count all these avocados and know that two are missing from a thousand?

But the plantation owner had warned the chief overseer of the temple to count the avocados to make sure that the foreman had not sold some along the way. He found out that two were missing and had been given to beggars and the plantation owner fired the foreman. That night the plantation owner had a dream. In his dream, God came to him and said, I have granted your prayer for a great harvest, but you have not kept your agreement.

The plantation owner pleaded his case, But God, I took the avocados to you just as I said. God replied, Well, I am sorry that you are in error my friend, because so far, I have received only two. I think you can see why I enjoy this story. And it has many implications far beyond the simple notion that Divine Providence and charity are related. In fact, we might say that Divine Providence resonates to charity.

There is a great deal of emerging evidence and a wonderful new area of study which says that there is a human field of energy which is very subtle, yet powerful, pervasive and immortal.

There is a field of energy which connects every one of us to every one of us. Some refer to this energy as levels of consciousness--and the study of this energy focuses especially on various states of higher consciousness.Regardless of our personal level of consciousness, we are not only connected to this field of energy, but we are influencing it just as it influences us in return. There is emerging evidence, both experiential and research, that says that as our level of consciousness rises, our body has an increasing ability or tendency to heal itself. There are increasing numbers of prayer studies that show that healing is affected by prayer.

In Dr. David Hawkins book, Power Vs. Force, he designates and describes our levels of consciousness from low to high levels. In the pathological area, he lists (low to high) shame, guilt, apathy, grief, fear, desire, anger, and false pride. The ascending corresponding emotions at those lower levels are humiliation, blame, despair, regret, anxiety, craving, hate, and scorn. As we pass from pathological states into higher states of health and well-being, Hawkins designates and defines (low to high) courage, neutrality, willingness, acceptance, reason, love, joy, peace, and enlightenment. The ascending corresponding emotions at these higher levels are affirmation, trust, optimism, forgiveness, understanding, reverence, serenity, bliss and ineffable.

By contemplating upon these two hierarchies of human levels of consciousness and corresponding emotions, you can easily see the beauty that unfolds as we achieve higher and higher levels of consciousness. Higher levels mean less stress, or course, which means less acid in your body. The simple question then becomes, what is it that I can do to help myself achieve an increasing degree of health, happiness and serenity in my own life? As I have written before, a healthy and peaceful lifestyle includes choosing an alkaline and nutritional diet, exercise, rest and relaxation, good company, doing work which we enjoy, body massage, meditation, sincere gratitude, a reverence for all life, and so on.

Some will argue that these conditions are difficult to achieve in a world of economic disarray.

Just viewing the problems of hunger and homelessness in the world is frightening. In America, we are told that more than a million people are now losing or have lost their homes due to mortgage default. And so, how can we ascend to levels of peace in such a world with so much apparent negativity? What else is it that we can do to ascend our own levels of consciousness and somehow feel a greater sense of love, the absence of fear, and more acceptance of so many people with whom we seem to have nothing in common, little understanding, a different set of values, and with whom we perceive ourselves to operate from a completely different belief system about the world?

How do we come to a sense of peace and diminish our reflexive stress--the same stress that causes acidic reactions in our body--to the many seemingly unacceptable political, economic, unhappy human elements that surround us?

I believe that science will soon confirm what some have known over the millennia. Virtually all Holy Scripture from all the major religions are in accordance with the idea that the highest devotion to God--man's greatest gift to the energy field of the world in which we are all encompassed--is SERVICE TO MANKIND. Research into higher consciousness tells us that the energy of loving service is recorded in the universe on into infinity.

Thus, this Thanksgiving Day and as Christmas approaches in the problematic year of 2009, one of the greatest stress-releasing gifts we can give to ourselves is to give the gift of service to others. And nothing fosters charitable feelings like charitable actions. Nothing fosters more the acceptance of other people than lending a helping hand. Nothing will bring forth the peace and wisdom that we need to create within ourselves more than providing service to the poor, the needy, the uneducated, the downtrodden, and the afflicted.

Look for service projects in your area and take your family into the world to help others. And over time, nothing will help you to diminish the stress inside your own body more than helping to diminish the stress in those around us. What goes round comes round, and to whatever degree your load of avocados means abundant energy, creativity, intelligence, leadership, money, or time for everyone in the world, I know that you can figure out how to deliver more than two.

In love and innerlight,


Dr. Robert O. Young

I Ate Too Much

Holiday Season lifestyleand dietary conditions (called diseases by allopathicmedicine) for which I have given new names:

1) "Traveler's Acidic Consequence" is a result of thesum total consumption and behaviors of a travelerduring their more unusual or somewhat differentfrom normal lifestyle than when they were not traveling. A typical traveler's day will upset one's normalmetabolism and digestive habits. They eat anddrink different foods at different times and differentvolumes than usual, which creates an over-acidic stateand a need for more alkaline buffers (bicarbonates likepHour salts) leading to indigestion, nausea, acid reflux,heartburn, belching, flatulence, vomiting, constipation,dehydration and further problems of acidity,depending on the degree of irregularity.

"Traveler's Acidic Consequence" is commonly blamed byallopathic medical science on a particular site onthe traveler's path as if he/she caught something. This current medical ideology is based onPasteur's germ theory and is a scientific myth/illusion.
The true cause of this condition is the result of thetraveler's acidic dietary choices and the lack ofalkaline hydration, nutrition and hygiene that canresult in this over-acidic condition. All the abovesymptoms is the body in preservation mode trying itsbest to reestablish the alkaline pH of the internalenvironment at 7.365 to 7.4.

2) Holiday Season - "I Ate and Drank Too Much "S!!!"Dis-Ease" is a result of the sum total consumptionand behaviors of a person during the Holiday seasoneating and drinking everything in site from "swine towine." This over indulgence may cause belching andflatulence and eventual heart burn, acid reflux,nausea, constipation and even brain, breast, lung,liver and bowel parasites for which medical sciencewill often prescribe the purple pill. This HolidaySeason condition may then lead to the third HolidaySeason consequence -

3) "Holiday Season Food Drunk" is a result of over-eatingand over-drinking acidic foods and liquids and then fallinginto a drunken state on the sofa or bed for several hours oreven days to sleep off all the acidity. Falling asleepafter a heavy Holiday meal is a common occurrence foracid over-eaters and acid drinkers.

4) "Holiday Season Influenza" (The Flu) is a result of thesum total consumption and behaviors of a person duringa so-called Holiday acidic feasting. A person will consumeacidic foods and drinks that they may not know or knowthat are not healthy or alkalizing, i.e., more sugar orsugar substitutes than normal, alcohol, meats (especiallythe tape and flukd worm favorites such as pork, beef,turkey, chicken and fish (especially raw fish) and muchof this at greater volumes than normal. This person becomesdetrimentally influenced physically and emotionallyby Holiday acidic foods and drinks.

According to medical savants, "Holiday Season Influenza"is commonly blamed on a particular virus contracted fromanother person(s) and not from acidic lifestyle anddietary choices of that person. Like the acidic traveler,a person chooses to consume on their own as many acidicfoods and drinks during the Holiday Season and as a resultare suffering from the consequences of their poor dietaryacidic choices -- not from some phantom (does not exist)flu virus! The flu is nothing more than the bodyincreasing body temperature to improve circulation toremove excess acidity through perspiration, respiration, defecation and urination.

Also, please keep in mind it doesn't take eithertraveling or Holidays for someone to express thesymptoms of "Traveler's Acidic Consequence,"and/or "I Ate and Drank Too Much S!!! Disease,"and/or "Holiday Season Food Drunk," and/or "HolidaySeason Influenza." All you need to do is consumeexcessive amounts of acidic meats (especially pork,turkey and chicken), chocolate, ice cream, cake,alcohol or other acidic mind boggling thrillers. Any of these four non-contagious lifestyle anddietary conditions can happen anytime during theyear. But,the Holiday Season seems to be thetime when most people over-indulge in highly acidiclifestyles and diets!

This coming Holiday Season may you resolve not tosuccumb to the acidic choices that lead to "Traveler'sAcidic Consequence," or "I Ate and Drank Too MuchS!!! Dis-ease," "Holiday Season Food Drunk" and/or"Holiday Season Influenza."

In love and healing alkaline light,

Dr. Robert O. Young

PS This year before sitting down to a highlyacidic Holiday Season meal, watch the followingyoutube video. You cannot kill parasites withheat. All you can do is put them to sleep and riskthem waking up inside your body. Also, watchingthis video might change your mind about eating thatleft-over Thanksgiving ham or even urine laced turkey. It is by no coincidence that turkey and chicken arereferred to as "foul." Birds like turkey andchicken have no urinary tract system and aretherefore more likely to adsorb their own urine intotheir tissues. But, that's what makes them so juicy.

PSS I hope we can all learn to take responsibility forour own lifestyle and dietary choices and theconsequences we may experience rather then blaming it ortransferring personal responsibility to a phantom orharmless virus - like the Swine Flu virus, Ebola virus,HIV virus, HPV virus, West Nile virus, Bird flu virus,and the list goes on and on and on! So-called viruses DONOT cause sickness or disease - our acidic lifestyle and dietchoices do! You do health by making healthy choices oryou can do sickness and disease by making unhealthy lifestyleand dietary choices. Making acidic lifestyle and dietarychoices the last 3 months of the year can take 10 yearsoff your life at age 40 and 20 years off your life atthe age 80. You can live a healthy and fit life to 100 ifyou will make better alkaline lifestyle and dietarychoices NOW!

The First Alkalizing Young pHorever pHace Make-Up Line Released Today - Check It Out!

I am happy to announce the release of the first alkalizing cosmetic/make-up line in the world. Check it out! There is nothing out there like these products. The best news is this make-up line is good for the skin.

http://www.phmiracleliving.com/c-32-phace-mineral-make-up.aspx

Do you know what acidic chemicals you may be putting on your skin or hair?

Chances are, you don't. If you wear make-up, moisturizing creams, or use store bought shampoo or conditions there is a high probability that you are putting things on your skin or hair that are not only acidic to your skin and/or hair, but may be harmful.

The following ingredients are commonly found in many cosmetics, moisturizers, shampoos, conditioners, and toners - even the ones
that claim to be natural, or mineral based:

Lanolin

This is often advertised as a good thing. It technically is natural, but highly undesirable. Lanolin is a yellow, greasy substance derived from the sebaceous glands, generally from sheep. Not something you want on my skin.

Formaldehyde

A common ingredient used as a preservative in cosmetics.

Whale Wax

Obtained from what digestive juices, or essentially vomit is often found in fragrances in cosmetics, shampoos, and conditioners.

Parabens

In a recent Canadian study, 19 out of 20 breast tumors examined had high amounts of parabens in them. If breast cancer doesn't turn you off parabens, what if you knew that parabens affect your hypothalamus, your ovaries, your thyroid, and virtually every single organ system in your body. Parabens also influence
development of malignant melanoma, and can also affect the male reproductive system when newborns are exposed to butylparaben. Remember those science labs where we were told to dissect animals? Think about the putrid formaldehyde used to preserve their bodies. Parabens are just as irritating as this acidic harmful chemical. Would you want to put something with an equivalence to formaldehyde on your face or hair, twice a day, 365 days in a year? Skin and hair absorbs everything, and
everything your skin and hair absorbs goes directly to your blood stream.

Urea

Urea is excreted from aquatic organisms, reptiles, mammals, and now often synthetically made in large chemical reactors. Urea is also used as a common anti-bacterial in cosmetics.

Mineral Oil and Paraffin

Not only are these petroleum by-products, they clog the pores of the skin.

Last year Americans spent 17 billion dollars on makeup, shampoos, conditioners, cleaners, and creams, and other cosmetic products. Unfortunately, parabens come into the picture with the gross majority of these products. Read the label on the back of all your products, and take every precaution you can.

The pH Miracle of Vitamin D3

A clinical observation published in April 2000 in the Archives of Internal Medicine caught my attention. Dr. Anu Prabhala and his colleagues reported on the treatment of five patients confined to wheelchairs with severe weakness and fatigue. Blood tests revealed that all suffered from severe vitamin D deficiency. The patients received 50,000 IU vitamin D per week and all became mobile within six weeks.1

Dr. Prabhala's research sparked my interest and led to a search for current information on vitamin D, how it works, how much we really need and how we get it. The following is a small part of the important information that I found.

Any discussion of vitamin D must begin with the discoveries of the Canadian-born dentist Weston A. Price. In his masterpiece Nutrition and Physical Degeneration, Dr. Price noted that the diet of isolated, so-called "primitive" peoples contained "at least ten times" the amount of "fat-soluble vitamins" as the standard American diet of his day.2 Dr. Price determined that it was the presence of plentiful amounts of fat-soluble vitamins A and D in the diet, along with calcium, phosphorus and other minerals, that conferred such high immunity to tooth decay and resistance to disease in nonindustrialized population groups.

Today another Canadian researcher, Dr. Reinhold Vieth, argues convincingly that current vitamin D recommendations are woefully inadequate. The recommended dose of 200-400 international units (IU) will prevent rickets in children but does not come close to the optimum amount necessary for vibrant health.3 According to Dr. Vieth, the minimal daily requirement of vitamin D should be in the range of 4,000 IU from all sources, rather than the 200-400 currently suggested, or ten times the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA). Dr. Vieth's research perfectly matches Dr. Price's observations of sixty years ago!

Vitamin D From Sunlight

Pick up any popular book on vitamins and you will read that ten minutes of daily exposure of the arms and legs to sunlight will supply us with all the vitamin D that we need. Humans do indeed manufacture vitamin D from cholesterol by the action of sunlight on the skin but it is actually very difficult to obtain even a minimal amount of vitamin D with a brief foray into the sunlight.4,5

Ultraviolet (UV) light is divided into 3 bands or wavelength ranges, which are referred to as UV-C, UV-B and UV-A.6 UV-C is the most energetic and shortest of the UV bands. It will burn human skin rapidly in extremely small doses. Fortunately, it is completely absorbed by the ozone layer. However, UV-C is present in some lights. For this reason, fluorescent and halogen and other specialty lights may contribute to skin cancer.

UV-A, known as the "tanning ray," is primarily responsible for darkening the pigment in our skin. Most tanning bulbs have a high UV-A output, with a small percentage of UV-B. UV-A is less energetic than UV-B, so exposure to UV-A will not result in a burn, unless the skin is photosensitive or excessive doses are used. UV-A penetrates more deeply into the skin than UV-B, due to its longer wavelength. Until recently, UV-A was not blocked by sunscreens. It is now considered to be a major contributor to the high incidence of non-melanoma skin cancers.7 Seventy-eight percent of UV-A penetrates glass so windows do not offer protection.

The ultraviolet wavelength that stimulates our bodies to produce vitamin D is UV-B. It is sometimes called the "burning ray" because it is the primary cause of sunburn (erythema).

However, UV-B initiates beneficial responses, stimulating the production of vitamin D that the body uses in many important processes. Although UV-B causes sunburn, it also causes special skin cells called melanocytes to produce melanin, which is protective. UV-B also stimulates the production of Melanocyte

Stimulating Hormone (MSH), an important hormone in weight loss and energy production.8

The reason it is difficult to get adequate vitamin D from sunlight is that while UV-A is present throughout the day, the amount of UV-B present has to do with the angle of the sun's rays. Thus, UV-B is present only during midday hours at higher latitudes, and only with significant intensity in temperate or tropical latitudes. Only 5 percent of the UV-B light range goes through glass and it does not penetrate clouds, smog or fog.
Sun exposure at higher latitudes before 10 am or after 2 pm will cause burning from UV-A before it will supply adequate vitamin D from UV-B. This finding may surprise you, as it did the researchers. It means that sunning must occur between the hours we have been told to avoid. Only sunning between 10 am and 2 pm during summer months (or winter months in southern latitudes) for 20-120 minutes, depending on skin type and color, will form adequate vitamin D before burning occurs.9

It takes about 24 hours for UV-B-stimulated vitamin D to show up as maximum levels of vitamin D in the blood. Cholesterol-containing body oils are critical to this absorption process.10

Because the body needs 30-60 minutes to absorb these vitamin-D-containing oils, it is best to delay showering or bathing for one hour after exposure. The skin oils in which vitamin D is produced can also be removed by chlorine in swimming pools.
The current suggested exposure of hands, face and arms for 10-20 minutes, three times a week, provides only 200-400 IU of vitamin D each time or an average of 100-200 IU per day during the summer months. In order to achieve optimal levels of vitamin D, 85 percent of body surface needs exposure to prime midday sun. (About 100-200 IU of vitamin D is produced for each 5 percent of body surface exposed, we want 4,000 iu.) Light skinned people need 10-20 minutes of exposure while dark skinned people need 90-120 minutes.11

Latitude and altitude determine the intensity of UV light. UV-B is stronger at higher altitudes. Latitudes higher than 30° (both north and south) have insufficient UV-B sunlight two to six months of the year, even at midday.12 Latitudes higher than 40° have insufficient sunlight to achieve optimum levels of D during six to eight months of the year. In much of the US, which is between 30° and 45° latitude, six months or more during each year have insufficient UV-B sunlight to produce optimal D levels. In far northern or southern locations, latitudes 45° and higher, even summer sun is too weak to provide optimum levels of vitamin D.13-15 A simple meter is available to determine UV-B levels where you live.

Vitamin D From Food

What the research on vitamin D tells us is that unless you are a fisherman, farmer, or otherwise outdoors and exposed regularly to sunlight, living in your ancestral latitude (more on this later), you are unlikely to obtain adequate amounts of vitamin D from the sun. Historically the balance of one's daily need was provided by food. Primitive peoples instinctively chose vitamin-D-rich foods including the intestines, organ meats, skin and fat from certain land animals, as well as shellfish, oily fish and insects. Many of these foods are unacceptable to the modern palate and are highly acidic.

For food sources to provide us with D the source must be sunlight exposed. With exposure to UV-B sunlight, vitamin D is produced from fat in the fur, feathers, and skin of animals, birds and reptiles. Carnivores get additional D from the tissues and organs of their prey. Lichen contains vitamin D and may provide a source of vitamin D in the UV-B sunlight-poor northern latitudes.16 Vitamin D content will vary in the organs and tissues of animals, pigs, cows, and sheep, depending on the amount of time spent in UV-B containing sunlight and/or how much D is given as a supplement. Poultry and eggs contain varying amounts of vitamin D obtained from insects, fishmeal, and sunlight containing UV-B or supplements. Fish, unlike mammals, birds and reptiles, do not respond to sunlight and rely on vitamin D found in phytoplankton and other fish. Salmon must feed on phytoplankton and fish in order to obtain and store significant vitamin D in their fat, flesh, skin, and organs. Thus, modern farm-raised salmon, unless artificially supplemented, may be a poor source of this essential nutrient.
Modern diets usually do not provide adequate amounts of vitamin D;17 partly because of the trend to low fat foods and partly because we no longer eat vitamin-D-rich foods like naturally reared poultry and fatty fish such as kippers, and herring.

Often we are advised to consume the egg white while the D is in the yolk or we eat the flesh of the fish avoiding the D containing skin, organs and fat.

Sun avoidance combined with reduction in food sources contribute to escalating D deficiencies. Vegetarian and vegan diets are exceptionally poor or completely lacking in vitamin D predisposing to an absolute need for UV-B sunlight. Using food as one's primary source of D is difficult to impossible.

Vitamin D pH Miracles

Sunlight and vitamin D are critical to all life forms. Standard textbooks state that the principal function of vitamin D is to promote calcium absorption in the gut and calcium transfer across cell membranes, thus contributing to strong bones and a calm, contented nervous system. It is also well recognized that vitamin D aids in the absorption of magnesium, iron and zinc, as well as calcium.

Actually, vitamin D does not in itself promote healthy bone. Vitamin D controls the levels of calcium in the blood. If there is not enough calcium in the diet, then it will be drawn from the bone to help maintain the alkalinity of the blood.

Receptors for vitamin D are found in most of the cells in the body and research during the 1980s suggested that vitamin D contributed to a healthy immune system, promoted muscle strength, regulated the maturation process and contributed to hormone production.

During the last ten years, researchers have made a number of exciting discoveries about vitamin D. They have ascertained, for example, that vitamin D is an antioxidant that is a more effective antioxidant than vitamin E in reducing lipid peroxidation and increasing enzymes that protect against oxidation.19;20

Vitamin D deficiency decreases biosynthesis and release of insulin.21 Glucose intolerance has been inversely associated with the concentration of vitamin D in the blood. Thus, vitamin D may protect against both Type I and Type II diabetes.22

The risk of senile cataract is reduced in persons with optimal levels of D and carotenoids.23

PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) has been corrected by supplementation of D and calcium.24

Vitamin D plays a role in regulation of both the "infectious" immune system and the "inflammatory" immune system.25

Low vitamin D is associated with several autoimmune diseases including multiple sclerosis, Sjogren's Syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, thyroiditis and Crohn's disease.26;27

Osteoporosis is strongly associated with low vitamin D. Postmenopausal women with osteoporosis respond favorably (and rapidly) to higher levels of D plus calcium and magnesium.28

D deficiency has been mistaken for fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue or peripheral neuropathy.1;28-30

Infertility is associated with low vitamin D.31 Vitamin D supports production of estrogen in men and women.32 PMS has been completely reversed by addition of calcium, magnesium and vitamin D.33 Menstrual migraine is associated with low levels of vitamin D and calcium.81

Breast, prostate, skin and colon cancer have a strong association with low levels of D and lack of sunlight.34-38

Activated vitamin D in the adrenal gland regulates tyrosine hydroxylase, the rate limiting enzyme necessary for the production of dopamine, epinephrine and norepinephrine. Low D may contribute to chronic fatigue and depression.39

Seasonal Affective Disorder has been treated successfully with vitamin D. In a recent study covering 30 days of treatment comparing vitamin D supplementation with two-hour daily use of light boxes, depression completely resolved in the D group but not in the light box group.40

High stress may increase the need for vitamin D or UV-B sunlight and calcium.41

People with Parkinsons and Alzheimers have been found to have lower levels of vitamin D.42;43

Low levels of D, and perhaps calcium, in a pregnant mother and later in the child may be the contributing cause of "crooked teeth" and myopia. When these conditions are found in succeeding generations it means the genetics require higher levels of one or both nutrients to optimize health.44-47

Behavior and learning disorders respond well to D and/or calcium combined with an adequate diet and trace minerals.48;49

Vitamin D and Heart Disease

Research suggests that low levels of vitamin D may contribute to or be a cause of syndrome X with associated hypertension, obesity, diabetes and heart disease.50 Vitamin D regulates vitamin-D-binding proteins and some calcium-binding proteins, which are responsible for carrying calcium to the "right location" and protecting cells from damage by free calcium.51

Thus, high dietary levels of calcium, when D is insufficient, may contribute to calcification of the arteries, joints, kidney and perhaps even the brain.52-54

Many researchers have postulated that vitamin D deficiency leads to the deposition of calcium in the arteries and hence atherosclerosis, noting that northern countries have higher levels of cardiovascular disease and that more heart attacks occur in winter months.55-56

Scottish researchers found that calcium levels in the hair inversely correlated with arterial calcium-the more calcium or plaque in the arteries, the less calcium in the hair. Ninety percent of men experiencing myocardial infarction had low hair calcium. When vitamin D was administered, the amount of calcium in the beard went up and this rise continued as long as vitamin D was consumed. Almost immediately after stopping supplementation, however, beard calcium fell to pre-supplement levels.27

Administration of dietary vitamin D or UV-B treatment has been shown to lower blood pressure, restore insulin sensitivity and lower cholesterol.58-60

The Battle of the Bulge

Did you ever wonder why some people can eat all they want and not get fat, while others are constantly battling extra pounds? The answer may have to do with vitamin D and calcium status. Sunlight, UV-B, and vitamin D normalize food intake and normalize blood sugar. Weight normalization is associated with higher levels of vitamin D and adequate calcium.61 Obesity is associated with vitamin-D deficiency.62-64 In fact, obese persons have impaired production of UV-B-stimulated D and impaired absorption of food source and supplemental D.65

When the diet lacks calcium, whether from D or calcium deficiency, there is an increase in fatty acid synthase, an enzyme that converts calories into fat. Higher levels of calcium with adequate vitamin D inhibit fatty acid synthase while diets low in calcium increase fatty acid synthase by as much as five-fold.

In one study, genetically obese rats lost 60 percent of their body fat in six weeks on a diet that had moderate calorie reduction but was high in calcium. All rats supplemented with calcium showed increased body temperature indicating a shift from calorie storage to calorie burning (thermogenesis).61

The Right Fats

The assimilation and utilization of vitamin D is influenced by the kinds of fats we consume. Increasing levels of both polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fatty acids in the diet decrease the binding of vitamin D to D-binding proteins.

Saturated fats, the kind found in butter, tallow and coconut oil, do not have this effect. Nor do the omega-3 fats.66

D-binding proteins are key to local and peripheral actions of vitamin D. This is an important consideration as Americans have dramatically increased their intake of polyunsaturated oils (from commercial vegetable oils) and monounsaturated oils (from olive oil and canola oil) and decreased their intake of saturated fats over the past 100 years.

In traditional diets, saturated fats supplied varying amounts of vitamin D. Thus, both reduction of saturated fats and increase of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats may contribute to the current widespread D deficiency.

Trans fatty acids, found in margarine and shortenings used in most commercial baked goods, should always be avoided. There is evidence that these fats can interfere with the alkaline buffering systems the body uses to convert vitamin D in the liver.80

Vitamin D Therapy

In my clinical practice, I test for vitamin-D status first. If D is needed, I try to combine sunlight exposure with vitamin D and Vitamin D3 supplementation.

Single, infrequent, intense, skin exposure to UV-B light not only causes sunburn but also suppresses the immune system. On the other hand, frequent low-level exposure normalizes immune function, enhancing NK-cell and T-cell production, reducing abnormal inflammatory responses typical of autoimmune disorders, and reducing occurrences of infectious disease.26;67;68-71

Thus it is important to sunbathe frequently for short periods of time, when UV-B is present, rather than spend long hours in the sun at infrequent intervals. Adequate UV-B exposure and vitamin-D production can be achieved in less time than it takes to cause any redness in the skin. It is never necessary to burn or tan to obtain sufficient vitamin D.

If sunlight is not available in your area because of latitude or season, sunlamps made by Sperti can be used to provide a natural balance of UV-B and UV-A. Used according to instructions, these lamps provide a safe equivalent of sunlight and will not cause burning or even heavy tanning. Tanning beds, on the other hand, are not acceptable as a means of getting your daily dose of vitamin D because they provide high levels of UV-A and very little UV-B.

If you have symptoms of vitamin-D insufficiency or are unable to spend time in the sun, due to season or lifestyle or prior skin cancer, consider adding a supplement of 50,000 IU daily.

Higher levels may be needed but should be recommended and monitored by your health care practitioner after testing serum 25(OH)D.

Supplementation of Vitamin D3 is safe as long as you diet is alkalizing and contains adequate alkalizing minerals such a sodium, calcium, magnesium and potassium.

Adequate calcium and magnesium, as well as other minerals, are critical parts of vitamin D therapy. Without calcium and magnesium in sufficient quantities, vitamin-D supplementation will withdraw calcium from the bone and will allow the uptake of toxic minerals. Do not supplement vitamin D and do not sunbathe unless you are sure you have sufficient calcium and magnesium to meet your daily needs. I suggest a minimum of 1,200-2,400 mg of calcium daily. Research suggests that 1,200-1,500 mg is adequate as a supplement for most adults, both men and women. (Magnesium intake should be half that of calcium.)

Higher amounts of calcium are important for anyone diagnosed with bone loss. Total daily calcium as a supplement may range from 1,500 mg to 2,000 mg depending on current bone status and your body size. Make the effort to split up your daily dose. Do not take all your calcium and magnesium once a day. A higher percentage of the calcium dose is absorbed if delivered in smaller, more frequent amounts.82

Patients on vitamin-D therapy report a wide range of beneficial results including increased energy and strength, resolution of hormonal problems, weight loss, an end to sugar cravings, blood sugar normalization and improvement of nervous system disorders.

A paradoxical transient and non-complicating hypercalciuria (more calcium in the urine) may occur when the program is first initiated. This resolves quickly when adequate calcium and other minerals are consumed. Two other temporary side effects may occur during the first several months of treatment. One is daytime sleepiness after calcium is taken. This usually resolves itself after about one week. The other condition is the reappearance of pain and discomfort at the site of old injuries, a sign of injury remodeling or proper healing, which may take some time to clear up.

Toxicity Issues

Doses used in clinical studies range from as little as 400 IU daily to 10,000-500,000 IU, given either as a single onetime dose or daily, weekly or monthly. Such large doses are given either as a prophylactic or because compliance is considered a problem. There seems to be some evidence that vitamin D works better, without toxicity, when given in lower, more physiologic doses of 2,000-4,000 IU daily rather than as 100,000 IU once a month. However, a single monthly dose of 100,000 IU did replete low levels of vitamin D in adolescents during winter.77

The Many Forms of Vitamin D

There are two types of vitamin D found in nature. Vitamin D2 is formed by the action of UV-B on the plant precursor ergosterol. It is found in plants and in was formerly added to irradiated cows milk. Most milk today contains D3. Vitamin D3 or cholecalciferol is found in animal foods. Both forms of vitamin D have been used successfully to treat rickets and other diseases related to vitamin D insufficiency.

Many consider D3 the preferred vitamin, having more biologic activity. Vitamin D3 as found in food or in human skin always comes with various metabolites or isomers that may have biological benefit.

When humans take in vitamin D from food or sunlight, it is converted first in the liver to the form 25(OH)D and then in the kidney to 1,25(OH)D. These active forms of vitamin D are available by prescription and are given to patients with liver or kidney failure or those with an hereditary metabolic defect in vitamin-D conversion.

Assessing Vitamin D Status

Blood Testing: Currently there are two tests available for physicians to assess vitamin-D status. One is for the somewhat biologically active precursor 25(OH)D and another for 1,25(OH)D, the most active form, which is converted in the kidney and other organs. The latter is often normal in the blood even when the precursor 25(OH)D is low or deficient. The precursor is a better marker of vitamin-D status (or reserves) than the most active 1,25(OH)D form. It is the optimum level of 25(OH)D that is most strongly associated with general good health. (The test values given in this article are for 25(OH)D.) For many years the acceptable level of 25(OH)D has been at least 9 ng/ml (23 nmol/l). Some researchers believe that 20 ng/ml (50 nmol/l) should be the lower acceptable limit72 but Dr. Vieth presents a large amount of data to support his claim that this is far from optimal.3 Optimal levels are certainly at least 32 ng/ml (80 nmol/l) and preferably closer to 40 ng/ml (100 nmol/l).

Salivary pH Testing for calcium sufficiency: A method of assessing ionized calcium levels has been used by Weston Price, DDS and Carl Reich, MD and has confirmation in current research.73 After determining your serum-D status (testing) and undertaking a program of supplementation with vitamin D3, calcium and magnesium, morning salivary pH should read 6.8-7.2. Lower values may indicate insufficient vitamin D (retest), or low levels of calcium in the diet. Look for pH paper with a range of 5.5-8.0 and increments of 0.2 on our website at www.phmiracleliving.com. pH papers with 0.5-degree increments are not sensitive enough to monitor progress.
