Those who declare that denatured, refined and "ashless" foods are all right because the growing child, the young mother, the athletic youth and working adult obtain a great variety of "offsetting" foods which balance-up these denatured foods, are greatly in error.
The great bulk of their diet is made up of white sugar, white bread, white rice, denatured breakfast foods (cereals), glucose table syrups, glucose candies, ginger-snaps, and other cakes and pies, doughnuts, soda crackers, corn meal mush, tapioca, pearled barley, ice cream, pasteurized or boiled milk, meats, oleomargarine, lard and cooking compounds. Canned fruits and vegetables, cooked foods, etc., are not offsetting foods. These foods all need to be offset and no man, woman or child can eat sufficient fruits and vegetables to offset the deficiencies of such a diet. None of these foods will nourish the body. None of them build bones and nerves. None of them build normal blood. On any or all of them animals die.
Dr. Seale Harris, of Birmingham, Alabama, in an address before the American Medical Association, said: "The sugar-fed child is one of the saddest sights in the world. Many sugar-saturated vitamin-starved Americans, that is, those who live largely on white flour bread, white potatoes, white rice, lean meats, sugar-saturated coffee, and sugar-laden desserts, with candy and soft drinks between meals, would seem to be susceptible to ulcer and other abdominal diseases in which infection plays a part."
We may concede that such a diet is lacking in vitamins--we know that it is lacking in calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese, sulphur, phosphorus, iodine, sodium, silicon and other minerals. Children and adults fed on such a diet are certainly mineral-starved. Sugar is not merely vitamin-free, it is also mineral free. Children fed as above are suffering from a dyscrasia, which has its origin in a lack of the above named elements.
How absurd the prevailing notion that a diet such as that described by Dr. Harris, may be rendered adequate by the addition of nauseous cod-liver oil, or by adding a few cakes of yeast to the diet.
McCann says: "When the phosphorus goes the iron goes. When the iron goes, the calcium goes. When the calcium goes, the potassium goes. When these substances go the vitamins go with them, leaving the starches and the gluten behind. Starches and gluten do not themselves sustain life, do not protect health.
"The food factory cannot remove any element from whole wheat or from any other cereal without also removing all the other elements. These elements are so intimately bound up with each other that when one departs all follow."
The practice of peeling certain foods and throwing away the parings is wasteful and harmful. In the indigestible woody fiber and branny cellulose of beans, peas, cereals, fresh corn and nuts, and in the skins of the cucumber, squash, tomato and similar foods, and the seeds of berries, are many solubles (mineral salts) which are yielded up to the body during their passage through the digestive tract. The salts are needed by the body and to throw them away is folly.
In the animal body the various chemical elements are distributed in varying proportions in the different tissues--the muscles are rich in proteins, the bones are rich in calcium and phosphorus, the nerves are rich in phosphorus, the blood is rich in iron and sodium. So, also, in plants, the chemical elements are variously distributed in their different structures.
In a general way potassium, sodium, calcium, iron and sulphur pass into the stems, leaves, and fruits of the plants, while potassium, phosphorus and magnesium predominate in the seeds and roots. Green leafy tops are rich in lime and other needed minerals.
In the lower portions of all vegetables is located the greatest amount of starch and the least amount of minerals and vitamins. The upper green tips of the cabbage are the seats of the greater quantity of minerals and these diminish as we move down to the thick stems. In a general way it is estimated that there are five times as much minerals and vitamins in the green, leafy tops of radishes, onions, beets, turnips, carrots, spinach, lettuce, celery, etc., as in the lower or root portions.
In seeds there is an accumulation of calcium, sodium magnesium, sulphur, fluorine and silica in the outer layers, while potassium and sulphur predominate in the inner parts. The vitamins in potatoes are in their eyes and the minerals are under the skin. In grains the vitamins are chiefly in the germ and the minerals are in the outer layers.
All the elements are necessary to sustain life and no portion of the plant should be thrown away. If the grains are ground up and their midlings, bran and germ are thrown away all the vitamins and nearly all the minerals are discarded. If we dig out the eyes of the potato and peel the potato we lose practically all the minerals and vitamins.
There are very few conditions in which we must omit the coarser of these substances and for most patients and all normal individuals they should be a part of the diet. The human digestive tract is as well adapted to handling these things and can take care of them as well as can the digestive tract of the ape or the deer. Nature has not designed man for a diet of mush and does not confine him to such a diet. Indeed a mush diet proves his undoing.
Freezing breaks down food both chemically and physically and impairs its food value. Rabbits and chickens will not eat frozen lettuce or cabbage. Freezing breaks down these foods to so great an extent that it is plainly visible to the eye. Ice cream, ices, sherberts, frozen fruits, etc., cannot be recommended. Iced drinks are also bad for the reason that they impair digestion.
The natural affinity existing between the needs of the cells of man's body and the nutritional elements of fruits, nuts and vegetables, is sure guarantee that the eating of natural, that is, unprocessed foods, is thoroughly safe and constructive and that it is in closest harmony with the physiological or biological requirements of the body. Vitamins, calories and other necessary food elements will be supplied as needed by such a plan, and any method of processing our foods and all attempts to reinforce their unfoldment and effects within the body must result in a disturbance of the functions and processes of life.
Dr. Gibson lists, as Life threatening foods, "Ice cream, malted milk, preparations of cocoa and chocolates, alcoholic preparations, any preparation of bran, if separated from the grain itself, any form of bottled beverages, any form of pastry containing sugar, melted butter or lard, patent-sifted flour, cream, or fruit extracts, all kinds of factory preserves, every food stuff that kitchen chemistry has changed from a healthy natural product of vegetative evolution, into a haphazard output of unscientific digestion-and-nutrition-defying food camouflage."
All processed foods should be eschewed. Any treatment of foods which alters their chemistry, or that extracts some of their essential elements, offers nothing but devitalized husks to the consumer.
Sterilizing, predigesting, malting, dextrinizing, glutenizing, pasteurizing, refining, pickling, preserving, denaturing, extracting, concentrating, diluting, emulsifying, concocting, separating, isolating, demineralizing, frying, boiling, baking, hashing, "fruiting" and "crinking" processes are injurious, both to the nutritive value of foods and to the vitality of the consumer. The doctor, the cook, the chemist and the food manufacturer should be required to keep their hands off the food outputs of nature.
The factories, refineries, mills, canneries, bake shops, cooks, etc., have seen to it that we get but little natural foods. Not only have they been very busy subtracting, from them their valuable mineral elements, but they have also learned to add to them many irritating, injurious and poisonous chemicals, dye stuffs, preservatives, etc., until thousands are yearly killed and many are weakened in body and mind. We are fast becoming a race of glass yes, bald heads, false teeth and wooden legs as a result. As one well known Hygienist has so truthfully remarked: "We wake ourselves with caffeine, move our bowels with cathartics, coax an appetite with condiments, seek rest in nicotine, go to sleep with an opiate, and die just when we should begin to live."
(From the book "The Hygienic System: Orthotrophy", by Herbert M. Shelton.)

Effects Of Denatured Foods. Pt 4
McCarrison showed definitely that foods and combinations of foods which are inadequate and unsatisfactory in feeding animals, are equally as inadequate and unsatisfactory in feeding man. If our foods do not contain enough of the right kinds of mineral salts, we simply starve to death. It does not matter how much "good nourishing food," as this is commonly understood, that we consume, if these salts are not present in sufficient quantities, we suffer from slow starvation, with glandular imbalance or disfunction, lowered "resistance to disease" and other evidences of decay.
In 1914, 4,000 men, engaged in the building of the Medina-Mamora Railway in South America, were killed by acidosis, beri-beri and tuberculosis, induced by an acid-forming diet of meats, white flour, degerminated corn meal, polished rice, tapioca, corn starch, farina, cakes, jellies, jams, glucose, sugar, syrups, lard and canned goods. The project had to be abandoned.
All around the workers in the woods, the monkeys subsisted on the fruits and nuts that grew in abundance. These were strong and healthy and free from the ailments from which the men were dying. The men, however, spurned the monkey food, just as the man in civilization refuses to eat celery, lettuce, etc., and refers to them as grass and fodder. The only members of the above crew of men who remained to tell the story were saved by a diet of acid fruits.
In 1925, twelve convicts in a Mississippi penitentiary volunteered as subjects for a dietetic test. Dr. Goldberger, who made the test, wanted to prove that pellagra is caused by carbohydrate foods. These twelve men were fed on demineralized and degerminated corn products, with the result that they all developed the disease and underwent intense suffering. Some of them even attempted suicide. They were placed on a normal diet with the result that their usual health was soon re-established.
It should be carefully noted that these men were fed on denatured and not natural carbohydrates. It is extremely doubtful if such results would have been obtained if natural carbohydrate foods had been used. Certain it is that it would have required much longer time to have brought about these results. Natural, whole corn is not a perfect food. As an exclusive diet it would in time produce a "deficiency disease."
Twenty to forty days on a white flour and water diet are enough to produce death in a man, from scurvy, after days of torture, bleeding gums, swollen joints, pains and other symptoms. It may be objected that we do not confine ourselves to diets of white flour or of corn and corn products, but eat a variety of foods. Mere variety is not sufficient, as was seen in the foregoing account of the Medina-Marmora railway workers. Another very striking case, which proves that even a varied diet of denatured foods will produce the same effects as those observed to follow a denatured mono-diet occured during the world holocaust of 1914-18.
The German raider, the Crown Prince Wilhelm, after having been upon the high-seas for 255 days and sinking 14 French and British merchantmen, was forced to put into port, at Newport News, because 110 of her crew were stricken with beri-beri. The crew was dropping at the rate of about two a day. The men presented symptoms of weakness, irritability, muscular atrophy, paralysis, dilatation of the heart and pain upon pressure. Their diet had been very similar to that eaten in the average American household. It consisted of fresh meat, white flour products, canned vegetables, potatoes, sweet biscuits, cheese, oleomargarine, tea, coffee and champagne. Much fresh fruit and vegetables and whole wheat had been captured by the raider from the French and English merchantmen, but these had either been sent down to the bottom of the sea or eaten by the officers. Only the "staple" foods were retained for use by the crew. None of the officers developed the condition.
The ships physicians were unable to deal with the situation. So were the American physicians. They did not know the cause of the suffering of these men, nor what to do for them. Except for Alfred W. McCann, all or most of them probably would have perished. He prescribed for them a diet very rich in basic salts, with the result that improvement was immediate and rapid. All protein, sugar, fat and white flour was excluded from the diet. In two weeks the most severe cases were up and the men rapidly regained their health. No drugs were given. How true is Berg's remarks that, "This warship was conquered by the food preserving industry."
It will be asked: Why does not the average individual, eating a diet so similar to that eaten by the Medina-Marmora railway workers and the crew of the German raider, suffer in the same way? The answer is: He does, but not to the same extent, due to the fact that he consumes enough alkaline foods--fresh fruits, fresh vegetables, etc.--to protect him to a great extent. The steady death rate from tuberculosis, the rapid increase in nervous afflictions and degenerative diseases and our constantly lowered resistance to epidemic influences, reveal that we habitually consume too many denatured and acid-forming foods.
It is not enough that we consume even large amounts of the "protective" foods with our denatured acid-formers. This is too much like taking an antidote with the poison. We should cease taking the poison. If we offset the denatured foods with large quantities of base-forming foods, this entails a hardship upon the organs of digestion and elimination.
The lesson is plain. If we desire health, we must cease eating denatured foods. The examples given may be extreme, but conditions all around us prove them not to be exceptional. Almost everyone shows signs of the effects of denatured foods.
"Orthodox" food scientists tell us that we can eat white flour, white sugar, polished rice, etc., and "offset" the deficiencies in these by eating green vegetables and fruits. Leaving out of consideration the evident folly and waste of denaturing these foods and, then, trying to offset their factory-made deficiencies; we are still left with a big problem on our hands--that of finding room in our stomachs to put the necessary amounts of "offsetting" foods to make up the deficiencies; and also that of finding the money with which to buy these foods.
If we ate but small amounts of denatured foods, we might accomplish this. But when we take white flour, white sugar, lard, polished rice, denatured cereal products, pasteurized milk, etc., all of which are denatured, they do not balance, or offset each other. They are all lacking in the same elements. One would have to eat a tub of spinach or cabbage to "offset" the ordinary meal. Even if our diet is half denatured and half natural, the excess in the natural foods will not be sufficient to compensate for the deficiencies in the denatured half. McCann estimated that it would require the expenditure of $40,000,000,000 for "offsetting" foods, to compensate for the losses which our $2,000,000,000 wheat crop of 1919 sustained in converting it into white flour. There is not money enough in the world to buy sufficient offsetting foods, even if we had capacity to consume enough of them. There can be no sensible defense of the denaturing practice.

Effects Of Denatured Foods Pt 1
By denatured foods is meant foods that have been so altered and impaired in the processes of manufacturing, bleaching, canning, cooking, preserving, pickling, etc., that they are no longer as well fitted to meet the needs of the body as they were in the state Nature prepared them.
Every trophologist knows that the old "balanced ration" was what McCarrison called it, a "deficiency ration." It was composed of four items--proteins, carbohydrates, fats and water. Numerous animal experiments have shown that, while proteins, carbohydrates and fats are food elements, they are not in and by themselves food, either when taken alone or when artificially mixed.
In the Museum of Natural History (New York), is an exhibit showing the effects of soil deficiency on plant life. These plants, all of the same kind, were reared in soils lacking some element. The exhibit has to be seen to be fully appreciated. The plants range in size from about three inches to about eighteen inches in height. Their color ranges from pale yellow to dark green. The leaves of some are broad, of others narrow. Some of the leaves are kinky. All of the plants except one is defective both in size, color and features and all except that one were raised in soil lacking some food element. For example, one was raised in a soil lacking iron, (the plant has "anemia"), another in a soil lacking potassium, another in a soil lacking nitrogen, etc.
Food is the "soil" of animals. The digestive tract represents their roots. If essential food elements are lacking in their soil (foods), they, like the plants in the experiments, fail and die. Ride along the highway with an experienced farmer and he will point out to you, as he passes swiftly by in a car, fertile soil and poor soil, by the vegetation growing thereon; but the same farmer fails to recognize that sickly and stunted children are the result of poor soil (food).
Experiments revealed that animals fed on a diet composed of purified proteins, purified starches, purified fats and inorganic salts, although they may live on these for a time, do not grow and in a short time develop various pathological conditions as a result of such a "diet." If whey, or fruit juice, or vegetables are then added to the diet, the symptoms improve and the animals thrive better.
One physician sums up these results in these words: "What has been established is that a diet that contains enough nourishment, by all the recognized chemical standards, still fails to support normal growth and physiologic normality, if it lacks some unknown substances present in a variety of animal and plant tissues. A very little of these substances needs to be present, but there is an irreducible minimum."
Children and adults, alike, regularly consume breakfasts such as this one: Stewed prunes, a denatured cereal with white sugar and pasteurized cream, toast (white), pasteurized milk and, perhaps, bacon and eggs. Every article in this breakfast is denatured and altered chemically to a great extent. It is a predominantly acid forming breakfast and yet, the vitamin faddist will tell us only that it is lacking vitamin C or D. He will advise adding a little orange juice and cod-liver oil to make this a good breakfast. Our vitamin knowledge, where it is permitted to obscure all else, as is usually the case, certainly blinds so-called dietitians to some of the most important facts and principles of food science--trophology.
Except for the fresh fruits and vegetables you eat, practically everything you have on your table has had something done to it. Your milk is pasteurized, condensed, evaporated, boiled; your eggs are from hens that lay two or three hundred eggs a year and are fed on "rich" fare that produces disease in them. Your sugar is the crystallized, refined and bleached sap of cane or beet that has had all the minerals and vitamins removed from it. Your cereals are cracked, rolled, hammered, frittered, curled, flaked, ironed and even "shot from cannon," they are roasted, twice roasted, boiled, and in other ways rendered foodless. Wheat is milled, its minerals and vitamins removed, the flour is bleached and chemicalized. Its most important food elements are removed in the milling process. Your flesh foods are embalmed, smoked, pickled, salted, canned, corned, sausaged, fried, baked, broiled, refrigerated, cold-storaged and kept for long periods before being eaten. They are often drugged to give them color or flavor. Perhaps they come from sick animals. Your dried fruits are heated in drying, bleached with sulphur dioxide, stored for long periods of time and, finally, stewed and mixed with white sugar before being eaten.
The refining, preserving and cooking processes to which our foods are subjected destroy extraordinarily delicate and tender vital food factors. The refining and cooking processes rob foods of so much of their values that we add salt, sugar, spices, pepper and various other condiments and seasonings to them to make them palatable. Without the additions of such things they are dull, flat, insipid. Not so natural foods. Nature has placed delicate flavors and aromas in her foods that appeal to the senses of taste and smell.
A nation whose diet is made up almost wholly of such foodless foods cannot possibly be well nourished. Why go to great lengths and much trouble to build up our soils and then take everything out of the foods that the improved soils have put into them? When physicians prescribe such foods for infants and young children, for pregnant and nursing mothers and for patients they display both a lamentable ignorance of food values and a callous indifference to the welfare of children, mothers and patients. When they eat such foods themselves and feed them to their own children, they reveal that ignorance is their most prominent characteristic.
Over eighty years ago, Dr. Magendie, of Paris, starved one full pen of dogs to death by feeding them a diet of white flour and water, while another pen thrived on whole wheat flour and water. He fed another pen of dogs all the beef tea they could consume, and gave the dogs of another pen only water. The beef tea fed dogs all starved to death. The water fed dogs had lost considerable weight and would have starved also if the experiment had been continued; however, they were alive after those fed on beef tea were all dead. They were fed and all recovered.
Dogs fed on albumen, fibrine, or gelatine--the constituents of muscle--died in about a month. They can live longer than this on water alone. Dogs fed on the constituents of muscle artificially mixed, died in about the same time. Dogs fed on oil, gum or sugar died in four to five weeks. Dogs fed on fine (white) flour bread lived but fifty days.
A goose fed on egg white died in twenty-six days. A duck fed on butter died in three weeks, with the butter exuding from every part of its body, its feathers being saturated with fat. A goose fed on gum died in sixteen days; one fed on sugar in twenty-one days; two fed on starch died in twenty-four and twenty-seven days.

He fed another pen of dogs all the beef tea they could consume, and gave the dogs of another pen only water. The beef tea fed dogs all starved to death. The water fed dogs had lost considerable weight and would have starved also if the experiment had been continued; however, they were alive after those fed on beef tea were all dead. They were fed and all recovered.
Dogs fed on albumen, fibrine, or gelatine--the constituents of muscle--died in about a month. They can live longer than this on water alone. Dogs fed on the constituents of muscle artificially mixed, died in about the same time. Dogs fed on oil, gum or sugar died in four to five weeks. Dogs fed on fine (white) flour bread lived but fifty days.
A goose fed on egg white died in twenty-six days. A duck fed on butter died in three weeks, with the butter exuding from every part of its body, its feathers being saturated with fat. A goose fed on gum died in sixteen days; one fed on sugar in twenty-one days; two fed on starch died in twenty-four and twenty-seven days.

Effects Of Denatured Foods.Pt 2
Uncritically referring all the evils that flow from a preponderantly denatured diet to a lack of vitamins is rank folly. Many food factors besides vitamins are lacking in these diets. Various minerals are lacking. Often essential amino acids are not present. The fats are commonly cooked and renderd useless. In the same way, referring all the improvement that follows the addition of fruit or vegetable juices to the inadequate diets to vitamins is folly. These juices contain much other food material besides their vitamins--materials that are often greatly lacking in the various denatured diets consumed by people everywhere.
Nerves and brain are rich in phosphorus. Polished rice, the classic "cause" of beri-beri is practically free of soluble phosphorus. Indeed, Berg says: "Chamberlain, Bloombergh and Kilbourne pointed out that all the nutriments known to cause beri-beri are poor in phosphorus and potassium." Schaumann has shown that directly upon the beginning of an experimental diet, the balance of nitrogen ash, and above all phosphorus and calcium, becomes markedly negative, and grows continually more unfavorable as the "disease" progresses.
"Scala," says Berg, "reproaches physiologists who are experimenting as to the causation of deficiency diseases with uncritically referring all the manifestations to the account of the complettins (vitamins) and with forgetting that the organic extracts they use in their experiments contain in addition comparatively large quantities of inorganic substances (mineral salts) which likewise exercise a powerful influence." Orange juice is given to complement pasteurized milk. It is supposed to supply vitamin C, destroyed in the milk by pasteurization. But orange juice contains several salts and organic acids, and pasteurized milk has some of its salts spoiled for use. Does the orange juice supply salts or vitamins?
Merely by adding an excess of starch or starch and fats to otherwise natural food, rich in so-called vitamins, McCarrison was able to produce in monkeys, to which he fed this food, diarrhea, dysentery, dyspepsia and gastric dilatation, gastric and duodenal ulcer, intussuception, colitis, and failure of colonic function. Starch poisoning thus caused conditions commonly attributed to avitaminosis, despite the presence of what is supposed to be an abundant supply of vitamins. If the mere addition of small amounts of vitamins to a deficient diet is enough to do all the experimenters claim it will do, these results should not have followed such feeding.
McCarrison also showed that "one cannot in practice dissociate the effects of deficient and ill-balanced foods from those of bacterial or protozoal agencies whose ravages have been made possible by faulty food." This is equivalent to saying that the deficiencies and the toxemies are so inextricably bound up that they cannot be separated.
Berg says: "Above all we have to remember that when an extract is made from uncoagulated material (uncooked foods), chiefly the bases (alkaline salts) pass into solution; whereas when the extract is made from material in which the protein has been coagulated by heat (cooked), acids predominate in the solution, This fact may in part explain the reported behaviour of the ther-moliable complettins." In other words, when we are told that heat destroys vitamins, we are to understand that solutions extracted from cooked foods are rich in acids.
Many of the evidences of deficiency could easily result from a leaching of the body of its alkalies by an excess of acids, such as the loss of calcium by the bones and the failure of calcification in the growing bones.
Aulde observed that when there is either a lack of calcium or an excess of acid in the food, vitamin A has no effect. McCollum, Ewald Abderhalden, Miller and Hart have all shown that avitominosis (failure to utilize vitamins) is produced by an excess of acid in the food. Peckham found that minerals and vitamins are valuable only in the presence of each other. Aulde claims that calcium is usable only in the presence of vitamin A. Similar facts are observed by numerous investigators with regard to vitamin B and other vitamins. (Many investigators consider B and D to be identical). Some of the pathological features of scurvy especially the bone disorders, edema, tissue fragility and the liability to hemorrhage, indicate the presence of a strong acidosis. The scurvy producing diet is unquestionably deficient in bases while the antiscorbutic diet is rich in bases. It is also claimed that the salts are not assimilated in the absence of the vitamins; but this amounts merely to the fact that inorganic salts spoiled by cooking are not assimilated.
Experiments recounted by Sylvester Graham showed that the addition of wood shavings, blotting paper and other forms of foodless roughage to the diet of an animal fed certain defective diets was enough to overcome pathological conditions and restore health. Graham attributed the evils of such a diet to poisoning from gastrointestinal decomposition. This is certainly present in most, if not all cases of avitaminosis.
The multiplicity of factors in nutrition render it difficult for the laboratory research worker to assess the practical value of his findings, while his limited view is likely to cause him to over-estimate the importance of the aspect of nutrition upon which he is working. "Vitamin deficiency" may be almost anything.
Animals confined to mineral-free diets become weak, dull, listless, have fits and die. They reach a point where they refuse to eat. If they are now force-fed on the same diet, they die quicker than animals not fed at all. In these experiments the nervous system suffers most. A dog so fed showed sudden fits of madness, became weak and uncertain in his movements, trembled and showed signs of nervousness, and grew weaker and weaker until he could scarcely crawl.
A man will starve to death with just as much certainty and just as speedily, and in most cases more speedily, if he attempts to live upon foods containing only one or two elements of nutrition, as if he were totally abstaining from food. A diet of white flour and water, or white sugar and water will result in death much sooner than a diet of water only. This is due to the fact that if no food is eaten the body feeds upon its own balanced foods reserves; whereas, it has no adequate provision for meeting the exigencies created by prolonged subsistence on one-sided diets.
Milk of cows or mothers may actually be dangerous to calves or children. Cows fed on commercial feeds produce milk which causes calves to become blind, have fits and die. Hens fed in the same manner produce eggs with pale or colorless yolks, lacking in iron and other minerals, which either will not hatch at all, or will produce a chicken which will not be able to live. Cubs born of the circus lioness, fed on meat alone, are born with cleft palates, due to lack of lime.

The Problem with Garlic
I use garlic in much of my cooking. I find that a little garlic enhances the flavors of the food I eat. Too much garlic is overpowering, but it often my secret ingredient.
I also use garlic as an antiseptic. I find that it works better than salt for certain applications.
The problem I have with garlic is it is difficult to know whether the garlic I purchase is always the same quality. Much depends of the soil. For instance, garlic is said to be a source of selenium. If garlic is grown in soil that contains no selenium, then it cannot be a source of selenium.
While I am a great advocate of garlic and its benefits, one of the problems I have with people who tend to promote natural remedies is found in the following statements I found on Bob Anderson’s web site extolling garlic. www.gourmetgarlicgardens.com/
When something is declared to be "beyond any reasonable doubt" and then is discredited by a degree of uncertainty with statements such as "may help" or "probably has", you are begin to doubt the benefits yourself.
However, Bob reflects upon the reason why more is not done to promote garlic, rather than drugs and their side effects, and concludes that
Many people swear by garlic. Yet garlic is not a panacea for everything. This is why I ensure I am getting optimum nutrition and have garlic every day as well as enjoying the benefits of Reliv.

Studies by competent multi-degreed scientists have shown beyond any reasonable doubt that consuming garlic generally has the following physical effects:
• Garlic may help to remove heavy metals such as lead and mercury from the body.
• Garlic probably has other benefits as well.

Perhaps the over-riding consideration may be that fresh garlic is a living thing that continuously changes and is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to quantify.

Natures Wonder Food...
Whenever people reach a hundred, they are often asked what it is that has enabled them to reach the magic age. Some people reach it and they might be as good as dead. Oddly enough, most of the people that I have seen who have reached a hundred years of age also seem to have some life in their wrinkled bodies.
Many centenarians put their longevity down to living a good simple life. The one thing I remember the most is the number of men who have said they put down their good health throughout the years to having their porridge ever morning. They are not talking about that instant porridge that tastes like the baby food Farex. As you would expect, the porridge these studs eat is the rolled oat variety that takes a little time to cook.
Discussions I have had in the past have resulted in me being told there is real long-life benefit in porridge. There is no magic formula. However, there is also something else which many of these long living people often forget to tell you. Not only do they eat porridge, but they often put brewer’s yeast on top to give it some flavor. "A couple of table spoons of brewers does wonders for the porridge", an energetic seventy-five year old Scotchman told me once.
Brewer’s yeast might be the secret to a healthy long life. This is because brewer’s yeast has a massive amount of goodness in it. Not all brewer’s yeast is exactly the same but you will find that by have a couple of tablespoons of brewer’s yeast every day on your porridge, you will be putting a lot of goodness in your bodies. Some people even call it natures wonder food.
Typically, you will be providing yourself with the following vitamins and minerals Thiamine, Riboflavin, Niacin, Pantothenic Acid, pyridoxine, Biotin, Folic Acid, Calcium, Iron, Phosphorus, Magnesium, Zinc, Copper, Manganese, Chromium, Sodium, Potassium, as well as these amino acids: Alanine, Arginine, Aspartic, Glutamic, Glycine, Histidine, Isoleucine, Cystine, Leucine, Lysine, Methionine, Phenylalanine, Proline, Threonine, Serine, Tryptophan, Tyrosine, Valine.
Brewer’s yeast is not called natures wonder food for nothing. People take calcium for their bones and wonder why their bones still get worse. Modern medicine has caught up with nature and medical scientists now realize that without magnesium, calcium does not go into the bone, but is more likely to form kidney stones. Brewer’s yeast contains both calcium and magnesium.
Vegans can help themselves by having a couple of tablespoons of brewer’s yeast every day. Most vegans lack sufficient protein in their diet. Brewer’s yeast has not only the eight essential proteins, but also arginine that is required for the young and histidine which some people are known to be unable to synthesize in their bodies.
Another great feature about brewer’s yeast is it contains vitamins B1, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9. These all work together and are even provided in varying proportions in breakfast cereals to promote a healthier diet. But there is nothing like what comes in brewer’s yeast on top of porridge, if you like the taste.
There is one very important mineral in brewer’s yeast that is considered critical for excellent health. This is chromium. Insufficient chromium and you will end up with diabetes. Chromium is the key that opens the door and lets glucose into the cells. This is probably why brewer’s yeast is regarded by some people as a wonder food.
However, too much brewer’s yeast may contribute to yeast related issues such as allergies, thrush, skin rash, ringworm, tinea, jockey itch, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome and other debilitating issues said to be associated with yeast. But much of this may depend on the type of yeast that people are consuming.
While it may be that some brewer’s yeast may contain all the properties that has been mentioned above, there is no guarantee that every batch of brewer’s yeast is of the same quality.
If you are not getting optimum nutrition then you should begin getting the right products to help you. I have seen some remarkable results take place in people who have decided they no longer want to suffer from their ill health.

3 Little Known Critical Facts About Nutritional Supplements
Most people waste their money buying supplements. This is because when they swallow them they are not fully absorbed.
Another problem is that which is absorbed does not function as well as it should because the other required nutrients are insufficient or missing altogether.
A further concern is taking recommended daily amounts of nutrition are merely recommendations to avoid dying before your time, not to live a healthy life.
In order for you to be truly healthy, you need to consume optimum nutrients that are synergistically balanced and possess bioavailability.
Bioavailability
When people take nutrients that are in pill form or capsule form these do not readily break down and often pass through the intestines, with the remains being found in sewerage traps. Many tons of partially consumed tablets and capsules are found in sewerage traps every month. This is because only around 15% to 30% of the nutrients in capsule or tablet form are used to benefit the person who swallows them.
Bioavailability is a reference to how much a nutrient is absorbed through the intestine walls of the gut and made available to the cells that require the nutrient.
The best means of delivery is to have the nutrients broken down and suspended in water so they can be consumed as a drink. Instead of 70% or more of the nutrients being wasted, as in the case of capsules and tablets, when nutrients are swallowed as a drink, nearly 100% is absorbed into the blood stream.
Synergism
Taking vitamins and minerals is one thing, ensuring that they do their job is another thing.
For nutrients to work as they should, you need to have present the appropriate amounts required by every cell of your body. This means that every one of the vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, proteins, phytonutrients and carbohydrates need to be working together as required by your body for your physiological functions to perform as they should. More often than not people are like an eight cylinder car that is running on four cylinders rather than all eight, and tasks that should be effortless become hard work.
Synergism refers to all the nutrients working together so your body hums along and can perform at its best when required.
The benefits of synergism are nearly beyond belief and are as follows:
• Your immune system is able to defend itself against disease more easily.
• Bacteria and microbial infections find it difficult to infect your body.
• Viruses are challenged at the doorway of the cells they try to enter.
• Your lymph system is able to fight off cancer.
• Your immune system does not malfunction and start attacking your own body.
Optimum Nutrition vs. RDA
Optimum nutrition enables your body to function at its best. This does not happen if you are only getting the recommended daily dose, otherwise known as RDA (Recommended Dietary Allowance).
Your body can be compared to an automobile engine and the nutrition you consume to the octane levels of the engine fuel.
For example, a journalist took three cars exactly the same to test their fuel economy. The aim was to demonstrate paying the price of high octane fuels was a waste of money when low octane economy fuel would perform just as well.
The result amazed the journalist.
The most expensive highest octane fuel not only outperformed the mileage of the other two cheaper fuels, but proved to be more economical.
It is well known by professionals that higher octane fuels not only obtain greater mileage per gallon, but also burn cleaner and help prevent wear and tear within the engine.
Economy fuels struggle to perform and produce more wear and tear. You can call this an inherited predisposition or an inherent fault, but the truth is when an engine is built to function at its best with high octane fuels but instead is supplied low octane fuels, you cannot expect much more. Your body is no different. Most people are walking around with their organs and body systems functioning below par because they supply them with inadequate nutrition.
Optimum nutrition means that you will not be subject to illnesses the same as those on RDAs and neither will your body’s cells, tissues, organs and systems breakdown so easily from wear and tear.
Optimum nutrition means that your body’s ability to manufacture the hundreds of proteins from the daily consumption of the required eight basic proteins will not be impaired.
Optimum nutrition means that the “use it or lose it” process of dying will take longer to happen for you, because your body has the fuel to function as it should, and therefore you will live a longer healthier life.
You can begin to enjoy the advantages of having nutrition that works for you.

Another problem is that which is absorbed does not function as well as it should because the other required nutrients are insufficient or missing altogether.
A further concern is taking recommended daily amounts of nutrition are merely recommendations to avoid dying before your time, not to live a healthy life.
In order for you to be truly healthy, you need to consume optimum nutrients that are synergistically balanced and possess bioavailability.
Bioavailability
When people take nutrients that are in pill form or capsule form these do not readily break down and often pass through the intestines, with the remains being found in sewerage traps. Many tons of partially consumed tablets and capsules are found in sewerage traps every month. This is because only around 15% to 30% of the nutrients in capsule or tablet form are used to benefit the person who swallows them.
Bioavailability is a reference to how much a nutrient is absorbed through the intestine walls of the gut and made available to the cells that require the nutrient.
The best means of delivery is to have the nutrients broken down and suspended in water so they can be consumed as a drink. Instead of 70% or more of the nutrients being wasted, as in the case of capsules and tablets, when nutrients are swallowed as a drink, nearly 100% is absorbed into the blood stream.
Synergism
Taking vitamins and minerals is one thing, ensuring that they do their job is another thing.
For nutrients to work as they should, you need to have present the appropriate amounts required by every cell of your body. This means that every one of the vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, proteins, phytonutrients and carbohydrates need to be working together as required by your body for your physiological functions to perform as they should.

Your Amazing Body and RELIV
The human body is an amazing biological computerized manufacturing unit. There are so many functions that are performed by your body that you are unaware actually happening, it takes major textbooks and years of study to understand the many processes that exist to keep you alive and healthy.
The good news is you can grasp how your body functions without having to have a degree in anatomy and physiology and biochemistry. All you need to understand is that by providing your body with optimum nutrition, you can have a healthy and disease free live.
Children require optimum nutrition if they are maximize their growth potential. Adults need optimum nutrition if they are to resist illness and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
The reason you eat and drink is to provide nutrients and fluid for the body to function.
Essentially, your body has seven basic requirements for optimum health. These are proteins, vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, carbohydrates, water and oxygen. Each has to be available in proportionate levels that are required by your body to be able to produce the many other biochemical compounds essential for optimum health. If you lack sufficient of any of these requirements, your body will function but not in the way it has been designed for to live in optimum health.
Most adults live more of a living death rather than an energized vibrant life. This is because when insufficient daily intake of any of the seven abovementioned daily bodily requirements occurs, the body has no option but to function at a reduced level of activity. This is so, even if you are sitting down resting or competing to set world records in any physically demanding activity like conquering the highest mountain or swimming from England to France.
Your energy levels may be high because you consume carbohydrates, but your ability to use that energy effectively will be restricted if you have not got optimum levels of proteins, vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, water and oxygen getting into every cell of your body.
Diabetes is an example of people having high carbohydrate intake but insufficient amounts of other nutrients for their cells to burn the “carbs”. Carbohydrate is broken down into sugar. This is why diabetics often get unexpected surges of sugar in their blood, even though they claim they keep watch on their sugar intake.
When runners hit the wall in marathons is another example of insufficient nutrients. Insufficient minerals (known as electrolytes) are the reason why runners hit the wall and suffer cramps. But protein and fatty acids are also important as well as having sufficient water and good lungs to separate the oxygen from polluted air.
Your body begins to self-destruct as a result of not having sufficient nutrients to perform at a level that maintains optimum health and prevent dysfunction and early cell death. Autoimmune diseases are the result of poor nutrition or insufficient nutrition; so is the inability of your body to produce blood cells at optimum levels. Both these problems are supposedly the result of old age. The truth is thinning blood and diseases associated with old age are really the consequence of insufficient nutrition.
You can prevent dying from so-called natural causes before your time and enjoy a long and healthy life. You can prevent the onset of autoimmune disease and thinning of your blood and keep yourself free of viruses and harmful bacteria by ensuring you are consuming the right nutrition.
Reliv provides not only the balance of nutrition your body requires but ensures that the vitamins, minerals, proteins, and critical phytonutrients and detoxifying herbs actually go through your liver and into your blood rather than going through your colon and down the toilet.
Your blood cells take 120 days to renew, so by taking a four month trial, you genuinely prove how much better your body will feel with renewed blood cells and optimum nutrition.
You can enjoy a healthier body and more energy by taking Reliv NOW and Ennergize and, if need be, Arth-Affect by contacting Reliv in your country. You can begin your four month trial by telephoning the Reliv Office in your country. To order Reliv you will need a sponsor’s I.D. no. My Independent Distributor No. is AURIC001954.

Autoimmune Disease Review
According to some medical sources, "An autoimmune disorder occurs when a person's immune system mistakenly attacks their own body tissues. "
According to the Australian Society of Clinical Immunology and Allergy (ASCIA), "The causes of autoimmune diseases are not yet known."
What is known is that when the body's own immune system begins to attack its own organs or tissues or cells, this results in soreness from inflammation and damage to the cell structures.
Autoimmune diseases range from skin damage to colon inflammation to thyroid disfunction to liver malfunction to nerve damage to diabetes.
While medical practitioners like to blame heredity for people having these diseases of the autoimmune system, they do not consider that the real reason people may suffer from their immune system attacking their bodies is probably poor diet.
Nutrition is the most important aspect of our lives. Without food (that is, nutrition) we do not grow, but become ill and die.
Beriberi is the result of poor diet. People who do not have sufficient vitamin B1 get beriberi and suffer
• Loss of feeling (sensation) in hands and feet
• Loss of muscle function or paralysis of the lower legs
• Mental confusion/speech difficulties
• Pain
• Strange eye movements (nystagmus)
• Tingling
• Vomiting
• Awakening at night short of breath
• Increased heart rate
• Shortness of breath with activity
• Swelling of the lower legs
• Have difficulty walking.
If you consider some of the symptoms of beriberi, you might be mistaken for thinking that anyone with beriberi had some form of autoimmune disease, when in fact all they were suffering from is a deficient diet.
It is easy to have a deficient diet. All you have to do is eat food that does not contain the appropriate amounts of vitamins and minerals and fatty acids and carbohydrates and phytonutrients that your body requires on a daily basis to function as it is designed to do.
Can you honestly say that you are getting the following vitamins and minerals and phytonutrients in your daily diet? If you are not, then it will be impossible for you to have a healthy body and an immune system that is functioning as it should, to protect your body rather than target it for destruction.

The Truth About RELIV
Your body is a powerful biological entity. It has the power to manufacture many substances from the nutrients provided in your daily intake of vitamins, minerals, proteins, fatty acids and carbohydrates.
You can argue that your genes determine the quality of your life and how long you will live regardless of what you eat, drink or inhale. Yet you know this is untrue. People who eat, drink and inhale toxins become ill, and illness leads to death.
Sewage, sanitation and clean water contribute to people being able to live longer than ever before. No sewage, poor sanitation and dirty water lead to disease that produces illness, which leads to death.
Your immune system has the ability to fight off any bacteria, microbe or virus that might invade your body. Yet your immune system will not work if it has not been supplied with the appropriate energy and number of blood cells required to sustain a strong immune system. This has nothing to do with genes, but a lot to do with nutrition.
Inadequate nutrition is the reason why people get ill. Inadequate nutrition is the reason why people die from a body that is not able to continue to function optimally.
Commonsense tells us that in order for us to live a healthy and productive life, we need to function at optimum levels. It is impossible to function at optimal levels if we are unable to produce energy at the cellular level. More to the point, unless every cell in our body is functioning at its optimal level, then it is impossible for us to do so.
How can you best energize every one of the cells in your body to function at its optimum level?
You can do this by ensuring you have the optimal levels of what every cell requires to be a powerhouse of goodness for your benefit. This means you will daily take sufficient vitamins, minerals, proteins, fatty acids, carbohydrates and phytonutrients required by your body to synthesize the many proteins and hormones and endorphins your body needs to overcome lethargy, illness and disease and prevent aging.
Myself, I have tried a number of different products to maintain health and prevent aging. The one that has come up with being the most effective and beneficial and true value for money has been Reliv.
Every day I consume Reliv Now, one scoop in the evening and one scoop in the morning.
For five years I also took Reliv Arth-Affect. As a consequence of this my cartilage in my knees repaired and they no longer make loud cracks when bending them. But, better still, I had a bone density check done when I was fifty-two years old and the practitioner doing the test was astounded to find that my bone density was that expected of a 20yr old.
At the gym the people who are my age look about twenty years older than me. They do not seem to have the same level of energy either. I put this down to taking optimum nutrition the easy way with two shakes a day.
When I was introduced to Reliv NOW, the pharmacist who introduced me told me to allow 120 days to test the product, because this is how long the blood cells take to renew. He told me that the synergistically balanced nutrition of Reliv NOW will ensure superior blood cells are created by the body and this will enhance my immune system. I checked out his claim about the blood cycle and found him to be correct, so I decided to give the product a four month trial. To my delight, I found this to be the one of the best decisions I have made.

RELIV Review
Happy Riches said...
Reliv is an outstanding company. Unfortunately, the products work so well that there are many people trying to discredit the products.
I take RELIV and I know of many people who take the products who have had spectacular health turnarounds.
The issue about soy is largely unproven, and besides there are many other factors that have to be taken into account when making various claims about a food like soy which is used by many people as part of their staple diet.
People do not understand how their body works and people who are full of toxins and are getting ill are not taking RELIV. Nobody who takes Reliv product correctly suffers from illness.
What happens to many people who take the products is they experience some natural responses by the body as their immune system begins to force out all the toxins.
One man I know suffering from severe rheumatoid arthritis suffered the symptoms of severe influenza for two weeks, until his body was purged.
Six months later the only evidence of him having had rheumatoid arthritis was from tell tale signs of his joints, but he was no longer in pain or agony when moving too quickly.
Unfortunately, for him once he was free of all the pain he decided he no longer needed the products and his body relapsed because his diet did not provide the optimum nutrients and detoxifying herbs that Reliv products provided. Then some doctor told him he had a better treatment and now he is back to being in agony.
I have remarkable evidence in photos and video of how effective the product is in getting the body to heal itself.
Personally, I would love to get a dozen people who had severe rheumatoid arthritis and put them on Reliv NOW or Classic and Arth-Affect and put the product to scrutiny.
Unfortunately, the company prohibits anyone doing this.
The other issue which tarnishes Reliv is when people join up only with the idea of making money who are relatively healthy. These people do not appreciate the health benefits and suffer later anyhow.
I take Reliv products and extol their benefits. In fact, I have been taking them for years and am probably older than Dr Mercola, but look a lot younger.
People say that soy is supposed to lower your sex drive. Well that is absolute rubbish.
All in all, RELIV is no. 1 in my book, and I haven't seen any product on the market that can beat it.
If the World Health Organisation were really about helping people, Reliv would have been given to all the people in poor countries years ago and many of the health problems that exist among the poor would have been eradicated because they would be getting the nutrition every body needs.

Reliv is an outstanding company. Unfortunately, the products work so well that there are many people trying to discredit the products.
I take RELIV and I know of many people who take the products who have had spectacular health turnarounds.
The issue about soy is largely unproven, and besides there are many other factors that have to be taken into account when making various claims about a food like soy which is used by many people as part of their staple diet.
People do not understand how their body works and people who are full of toxins and are getting ill are not taking RELIV. Nobody who takes Reliv product correctly suffers from illness.
What happens to many people who take the products is they experience some natural responses by the body as their immune system begins to force out all the toxins.
One man I know suffering from severe rheumatoid arthritis suffered the symptoms of severe influenza for two weeks, until his body was purged.
Six months later the only evidence of him having had rheumatoid arthritis was from tell tale signs of his joints, but he was no longer in pain or agony when moving too quickly.
Unfortunately, for him once he was free of all the pain he decided he no longer needed the products and his body relapsed because his diet did not provide the optimum nutrients and detoxifying herbs that Reliv products provided. Then some doctor told him he had a better treatment and now he is back to being in agony.
I have remarkable evidence in photos and video of how effective the product is in getting the body to heal itself.
Personally, I would love to get a dozen people who had severe rheumatoid arthritis and put them on Reliv NOW or Classic and Arth-Affect and put the product to scrutiny.
Unfortunately, the company prohibits anyone doing this.
