Thanks

Answer: Bronek,

Our whey protein powder (1 scoop/day) is mandatory (Whey protein fact sheet). Next, I would add (5,000IU’s/day) vitamin D, probiotic (1-2 caps/day) and vitamin C (1-2 caps/day). FYI: below is from a newsletter I recently sent to my patients.

“I just wanted to remind everyone that I have put together a natural “preventative” protocol for kids and adults, against colds/flu. Now is the time to get going on this!

I have been using this protocol for the past ten years w/my patients and the ones who follow it haven’t been effected by the flu, or if they did, it was very mild. The products are all natural and the possibility of side-effects is practically zero. The combo is vitamin D liquid, a special probiotic and vitamin C (w/rutin). This may seem very basic and you may ask, “how can this work?” At therapeutic doses, this combination actually moves the body from a weak, straw house; to a slightly-stronger, stick house; to a ultra-strong, brick house. Brick house people don’t get sick or if they do, the symptoms are much milder, and/or the overall duration of symptoms is far less.”

The sooner you can get going on this protocol, the faster you can start boosting you immune system!

I’m an avid bike racer and have been using the CAH liquid multivitamin for some time now.  Great product. I had the misfortune of tearing up my labrum on the right shoulder and jut returned from surgery, which went well.  I’d like to know what supplements or nutritional items could be helpful in speeding and ensuring a full and strong recovery. Would you be able to make some recommendations or point me to a few things tat may be helpful?

Many thanks!

Ben

Answer: Ben,

I’ve had two shoulder surgeries and one knee surgery due to motocross injuries – I have become quite informed about what it takes to heal back to pre-injury status . The key to recovery, nutritionally speaking is: whey protein @ 1 scoop, tons of vitamin C & rutin (I love our formula – Power – C @ 4 per day), and if you are taking our Liquid Power, double-up for a few weeks. A product that will also be very beneficial is MSM @ 2 grams per day.

As soon as you are able to move your arm, get a Theraband and use it everyday. Here is a great exercise instruction sheet.

Good luck,

“Vitamin C had an effect on the [bone density of] hips in men, but it didn’t have an effect on women,” says Katherine L. Tucker, PhD, a senior scientist at the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University and senior author of the study. It is published in the Journal of Nutrition.

Dr. James Watson won a Nobel Prize for determining the shape of DNA. During the 1970′s, he served two years on the National Cancer Advisory Board. In 1975, he was asked about the National Cancer Program. He declared,
“It’s a bunch of shit.”

“Everyone should know that the ‘war on cancer’ is largely a fraud.” Two Time Nobel Prize Winner Linus Pauling, author of several books on Vitamin C and cancer

This is not from a Nobel Laureate  but it fits

“What she (Dr. Johanna Budwig) has demonstrated to my initial disbelief but lately, to my complete satisfaction in my practice is: CANCER IS EASILY CURABLE, the treatment is dietary/lifestyle, the response is immediate; the cancer cell is weak and vulnerable; the precise biochemical breakdown point was identified by her in 1951 and is specifically correctable, in vitro (test tube) as well as in vivo (real)…” Dr. Dan C. Roehm M.D. FACP (oncologist & former cardiologist) in “Townsend Letter for Doctors”, July 1990

PETER BARRY CHOWKA: Dr. Pauling, could you summarize the role that vitamin C plays in human health and its importance to the health of the nation as a whole?

LINUS PAULING, PhD: Vitamin C–ascorbic acid or sodium ascorbate or calcium ascorbate–is involved in a great number of biochemical reactions in the human body. Two of its major interactions are in potentiating the immune system and aiding the synthesis of the protein collagen, which is a very important substance that holds together the human body. Collagen strengthens the blood vessels, the skin, the muscles and the bones. You can’t make collagen without using up vitamin C.

One piece of evidence that made quite an impression on me 20 years ago was when Irwin Stone, PhD, pointed out that most animals, except humans, monkeys and apes, manufacture vitamin C.2 They don’t rely on vitamin pills or on foods–they make vitamin C in their liver in amounts proportional to body weight. For an adult man the proportion turns out to be on the average about 10 or 12 grams (12,000 mg) a day. That’s 200 times the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA)–200 times the amount people get in an ordinary diet! This is why I think we should be getting 200 times the amount of vitamin C that the Food and Nutrition Board recommends. The RDA, 60 mg, is far too small and indicates the importance of taking vitamin C supplements.

Dr. Pauling was almost as well known to the American public as he was to the world’s scientific community. He is the only person ever to receive two unshared Nobel Prizes — for Chemistry (1954) and for Peace
(1962).

Linus Pauling Institute – Tons of great information!!!

First, what I take is based on almost 20 years of personal research, trial and luckily no error. My program has changed over the years based on what my current health goals are.  My long term health goal toady consists of going to bed at 98 with a smile on my face, never having set foot in a doctor’s office, and not waking up the next day. (There was a time when people past-on from natural causes) My program is in no way a recommendation to you the reader.

Second, my program:

7:00 am -  1-scoop Whey Protein Isolate Powder, 1 Tbsp. Liquid Flax Seed Oil, 1 Tbsp. (CAOH) Power Multi-V (multi-vitamin/mineral), 1 fl oz (CAOH) Organic Goji Juice, 1 fl oz (CAOH) Mangosteen Elixir, 1 Tbsp (CAOH) Ultra Supreme Greens, 2 Tbsp. (CAOH) Lecithin Granules, Trader Joe’s organic cherries, and blue berries, all mixed with 8oz. of purified water. Blended into a yummy shake. (I make my 19 month old daughter, Maile, a smaller one. She l-o-v-e-s the goji and mangosteen juice)* I have also tried acai, pomegranate, elderberry and noni in the shakes. I just dig the way the goji, mangosteen, cherries and blue berries mix together.

10:00am – 3 oz. protein with some almonds, 12 oz seltzer water. (CAOH) Power C (buffered vitamin C w/ bioflavonoids and rutin), (CAOH) Power E Complex (Vitamin E w/ mixed tocopherols) and (CAOH) CoQ10.*

12:30pm – 3 0z fish, or a salad, or sushi, or a big bowl of soup with 2 cups green tea.*

6:00pm – Dinner (5 nights a week it’s very low glycemic index – low carbohydrate) (2 nights it’s whatever we want)*

10:00pm – GABA, (CAOH) Calm (magnesium caps), (CAOH) Liquid Complete B Complex.*

*All of my meals and supplements are taken with (CAOH) Super Power Digestive Enzymes.
I also take other supplements as needed and plant based enzymes with large meals.

Yours in good health,
