"Heart disease [cancer, diabetes, poor circulation, male pattern balding, stinky feet, schizophrenia] runs in our family." "I come from a long line of men [women] who live into their 90s."
We have been conditioned by "experts" in medicine and the media to ascribe our physical attributes (strengths and weaknesses) to genetics. Surely we inherit many traits from our parents, but where do inherited genes end and inherited habits begin?
Organized medicine prefers that we believe our health is genetically predetermined. If we believe we are powerless to correct health problems on our own, organized medicine can sell us drugs and surgeries to allegedly overcome our presumed genetic weaknesses.
At ASH, we have seen how altering lifelong eating and drinking habits, incorporating exercise into daily activities and developing a more positive attitude toward life can dramatically improve conditions presumed to be genetically "hard wired" into our bodies.

Guinea pigs, apes, fruit bats and humans
What do guinea pigs, apes, some fruit bats and humans have in common? They all share the inability to produce their own ascorbic acid (vitamin C). All other animals produce vitamin C endogenously, or inside their own bodies.
Scientists believe they have evidence suggesting that humans used to produce their own ascorbic acid from an enzyme produced in the liver. But something happened and humans now depend on dietary sources of vitamin C.
Guinea pigs, apes, some fruit bats and humans share another trait: The tendency to develop coronary heart disease. The development of heart disease only occurs in animals and humans that lack adequate intake of ascorbates through dietary sources.
It has also been observed that zoo animals, such as gorillas fed processed "gorilla chow" readily develop heart disease unless they are supplied with adequate amounts of ascorbates.
By comparing the amount of vitamin C produced endogenously in animals that do not develop heart disease, we can get a good idea of how much vitamin C is essential to maintain cardiovascular health in humans.
Goats, cows, dogs, cats, squirrels and rabbits manufacture ascorbic acid at a rate of about 10 g per 70 kg (154 pounds) of body weight. In other words, to achieve the levels of ascorbic acid produced by animals that do not develop coronary heart disease, a 154-pound human would need to ingest 10 g of dietary or supplemental vitamin C daily.
Noting that 1,000 mg = 1 g, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has established the U.S. Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for vitamin C at 35 mg for infants; 45-50 mg for children and 60 mg for adults.
According to the FDA, humans require about 200 times less vitamin C than animals to maintain optimal health.
The late Dr. Fred Klenner was one of the world's foremost authorities on vitamin C. He believed that the government's concept of daily minimal intakes should be abolished because, "The physiological requirements [for ascorbic acid] in man are no different than other mammals capable of carrying out this synthesis."
Judging from the numbers of people being stricken by and succumbing to heart disease in the U.S., it would appear that Dr. Klenner (and doctors Pauling, Irwin Stone, Glenn Dettman and Archie Kalokerinos) are correct about the levels of ascorbic acid necessary to maintain optimal cardiovascular health.

Perfect Balance and Applied Logic
Perfect Balance and Applied Logic
Perfect balance and applied logic
In the beginning, the earth's atmosphere was 37% oxygen and humans manufactured their own supply of ascorbates. Now the atmosphere is 20% oxygen and, through a genetic fluke sometime in history, humans quit producing ascorbates.
Ascorbates introduce oxygen into the body which increases its alkalinity.
Oxygen is essential to metabolize food and create high energy; it is also impossible for cancer to exist in an alkaline, oxygen-rich environment.
Ascorbates are essential to keep the skin smooth and pliable. Similarly, ascorbates keep the artery walls smooth and pliable making it nearly impossible for heart disease to develop.
Scientists have simply shown us how to:
1) Supply the body with natural buffered mineral ascorbates to prevent and reverse cardiovascular disease.
2) Raise the body's alkalinity level to increase oxygen at the cellular level and eliminate cancer.
3) Correct hormonal imbalances to regulate blood sugar levels and reverse diabetes. As a result, energy and stamina are restored and weight loss becomes effortless.
As more people learn how to apply these three elemental principles to their daily healthcare regimens, chronic autoimmune diseases such as cancer, heart disease, MS, lupus and Parkinsons will no longer plague our society. Orthomolecular nutrition is the logical and safe way of returning the body to its original state of health-no cutting, no burning, no radiation and no drugs.

Basics of Diabetes
| The basics of diabetes |
 When a person's pancreas ceases to produce adequate amounts of the hormone/enzyme insulin, which regulates the levels of sugar in the blood, we call this condition diabetes. Though the chemistry of diabetes is extremely complex, it is not difficult to explain in practical terms. Type-I diabetes, or "juvenile-onset diabetes," is diagnosed in children and young adults who are unable to produce insulin and are, therefore, incapable of regulating blood/sugar levels internally.The common belief is that type-I diabetics were born with an irreversible pancreatic disorder and are, therefore, incurably dependent on insulin injections until they die. A Type-I diabetes diagnosis is not necessarily incurable. Often pancreatic tissues become damaged by a class of parasites called "flukes." After eliminating the parasites, orthomolecular protocols discussed in this guide may be employed to heal damaged pancreatic tissues. Once the organ itself heals, its proper functions may be restored and normal insulin production may begin or resume. Young children have a tendency to readily regenerate damaged tissue-that includes damaged pancreatic tissue. Type-II diabetes, often referred to as "adult-onset diabetes," is epidemic among American adults. In recent years, increasing numbers of children and young people are being diagnosed with type-II diabetes. Type-II diabetics, however, are considered "curable" because their blood sugar aberrations have developed over time through poor eating, drinking and smoking habits combined with sedentary lifestyles. It is estimated that 90 percent of type-II diabetes cases can be prevented/reversed if people refrain from eating, drinking and smoking substances identified with the development of diabetes-and get more exercise. In both types of diabetes, insulin production is not sufficient to properly oxidize carbohydrates (sugars). This leads to improper carbohydrate utilization by the body which leads to abnormalities in the metabolism of fats and proteins. Ultimately, the end products of fat metabolism accumulate in the blood. Unfortunately, the most commonly prescribed treatments for diabetes make no attempt to correct the foundational problem: The inability of the pancreas to produce insulin. This oversight insures that diabetics will eventually experience strokes, both ischaemic and haemorrhagic heart failure, obesity, atherosclerosis, elevated blood pressure, elevated cholesterol, elevated triglycerides, impotence, retinopathy, renal failure, liver failure, polycystic ovary syndrome (if you are a woman), elevated blood sugar, systemic candida, impaired carbohydrate metabolism, poor wound healing, impaired fat metabolism, peripheral neuropathy, diabetic coma and death. Type-I and type-II diabetics have reported that they have been able to reverse their symptoms with diet, exercise, MoRE or No Fool i, Master Formula II and RAANOW |
