I knew that a thorough understanding of nutrition could enable the healing of even the most serious problems. “It is very difficult to get a man to understand something when his Stearates found in supplements are hydrogenated fats such as magnesium stearate and stearic acid. They are made by hydrogenating cottonseed or palm oil and are used throughout the supplements industry as lubricants; they are added to the raw materials so that machinery will run at maximum speeds. Stearates coat every particle of the nutrients, so the particles will flow rapidly. This ensures that production schedules will meet profit targets. These substances decrease the absorption of nutrients; in a study published in Pharmaceutical Technology, the percent dissolution for capsules after 20 minutes in solution went from 90% without stearates to 25% with stearates. Individuals with impaired digestion may have particular difficulty absorbing nutrients coated with stearates. According to Udo Erasmus, in his book Fats and Oils, cottonseed oil has the highest content of pesticide residues of all commercial oils. In the hydrogenation process, the oil is subjected to high heat and pressure in the presence of a metal catalyst for several hours. The resultant stearates contain undesirable altered molecules. The metal catalyst may also contaminate the stearates produced. salary depends on not understanding it.” TRY THIS TEST YOURSELF AND SEE THE ULTRA-PURE DIFFERENCE — Upton Sinclair Brand X With Stearates Brand X will not dissolve Empty capsule into water Stir vigorously Dr. Ron’s dissolves easily Dr. Ron’s Ultra-Pure™ Without Stearates How Much Hydrogenated Lubricant Oil Are You Getting With Your Supplements?

That’s 250 a month – or 6,250 mg of this hydrogenated oil, nearly one-quarter ounce. That works out to as much as 3 ounces of hydrogenated oil a year, from just 8 pills a day. Most supplements contain a variety of other additives as well. 100% Additive-Free Supplements. The sole purpose of using these oils is to make the machines run faster.

Dr. Price traveled the world in the 1930s studying the relationships between food and health in hunter-gatherer and other native cultures. He wrote often about the central role of organs and glands in traditional diets. Native Americans emphasized eating raw organs and glands, especially the adrenals and the liver. The Kikuyu tribe in Africa thought the liver was the seat of the soul and consumed large quantities. Eskimos ate the organs of large sea mammals. The Swiss of the Loetschental Valley made stews with meat, organs and bones. would have none of that, but I found out that my nana was right – steak and liver and other organs from healthy, grass fed animals were wonderful foods! ridiculed.

Vision Quest™ supplies optimal daily doses of critical nutrients. I Maintaining good vision is possible with optimal nutrition. Macular degeneration (MD) is the leading cause of blindness. MD develops after a lifetime of damage to the macula, the delicate center of the retina where the most detailed vision occurs. Free radical damage and nutritional deficiencies contribute to MD. I Carotenoids (lutein, lycopene, zeaxanthin) form the “yellow spot” that indicates a healthy macula, and help nutrients to pass from the blood vessels under the retina to the cone cells. Flavonoids such as bilberry and eyebright are powerful antioxidants that improve night vision and help retard deterioration of eyesight. Taurine and selenium are found in high levels in the eye. I Vision Quest™ is the only formula to supply ideal daily doses of these nutrients that are essential in preserving sight. Vision Quest™ complements healthy diets with liberal amounts of key carotenoids, flavonoids, antioxidants, herbs, and other nutrients central in maintaining healthy eyes.

In one study discussed, published in the journal Nature in the fall of 2006, resveratrol increased the life expectancy of lab animals by over 40%, even when the mice were eating so much food that they got fat! Resveratrol is thought to be a key nutrient in understanding the aging process. people of Vilcabamba, Georgian Russia and Hunza. A common thread was the presence in their diets of many of the nutrient dense foods Dr. Price found in his Resveratrol, Red Wine and Bluberries: Resveratrol is a special polyphenol molecule found in only a few plants, including red grapes and blueberries. Thus red wine is a source, but only in very small amounts when drunk in moderation. Blueberries, rich in other key nutrients as well, are the best food source of resveratrol. studies during the 1930s of indigenous cultures throughout the world. An Exciting Supplement. Resveratrol extracts have taken the anti-aging research community by storm, and may be the most important new supplement in years. Resveratrol is a potent antioxidant. The journal Cell recently published a study from the Institute of Genetics and Molecular and Cellular Biology in Illkirch, France, which reported that resveratrol doubled the athletic endurance of of mice and controlled weight gain. We have combined resveratrol with two other key anti-aging nutrients to provide a practical, potent and affordable new cutting edge anti-aging formula. Ongoing studies are documenting the multiple benefits of CoQ10. (For more on CoQ10, please see the next page.) Dimethylglycine is another completely safe, critical anti-aging nutrient we produce less of as we grow older. DMG improves circulation, modulates the immune system and helps control blood sugar and triglyceride levels.

I More international trials have been conducted on Coenzyme Q10 than on any cardiovascular drug. The result has been overwhelming support for supplementation with Coenzyme Q10. I Ongoing studies are documenting the use of doses of 300 to 400 mg per day of Coenzyme Q10. Supplementation has also been found to significantly decrease fasting blood sugar.

Probiotic supplements are a relatively recent phenomenon, but many traditional foods are rich in probiotic microbes. Doc’s Friendly Flora™ has a profound effect on your body’s ecology. By colonizing the system with these helpful microbes, the entire body benefits as they multiply and provide benefits far beyond the gastrointestinal tract. The GI benefits may be marked bowel movements often improve as the stools are bulked up by the proliferation of good bacteria in the gut – but people also report better skin, enhanced immunity, and increased energy. Because our microbial species literally feed on toxins and waste products, Doc’s Friendly Flora™ has a marked detoxification effect, which helps explain its wide range of benefits. But the truth is that we don’t know every detail of how natural foods like raw milk, cod liver oil, and probiotic microorganisms influence our health. The proof is in the pudding. Give our probiotic a try, and you may find that Doc’s Friendly Flora™ is near the top of your list of uniquely beneficial special foods. “Conventional medicine gives little recognition to the role foods play in gastrointestinal diseases.

Could it have been their native diet, rich in animal fats and nutrients now known to support brain function and mood? Ingredients: “Disturbances of the mind must ultimately have a biochemical explanation, though we may be unable to provide it. Nutrients profoundly affect some mentally disturbed states.” — From Traditional Foods Are Your Best Medicine Phosphatidyl Serine (PS) is a key component of the fatty cell membranes in brain tissue, which tend to lose PS in the aging process. Even the FDA has given “qualified health claim” status to PS, stating “Consumption may reduce the risk of dementia.” Acetyl-L-Carnitine (ALC) is a form of the amino acid L-carnitine. Supplementation has been shown to protect brain cells and reverse symptoms associated with mental decline. Ginkgo Biloba is an ancient herb that markedly improves blood flow, exerting a protective action. Scores of scientific studies have validated Ginkgo’s effects, often dramatic, and the herb has been shown to significantly improve mental clarity and short-term memory. L-Carnitine is an amino acid with actions similar to those of Acetyl-L-Carnitine. Vinpocetine, derived from vincamine, an extract of the periwinkle plant, is reported to enhance blood flow to the brain. It has been widely used in Europe for age-related memory loss.

The importance of grass feeding for healthy animal source foods became apparent to me. Freeze-drying is the best way to preserve the nutrients in these foods, many considered sacred in traditional societies. Until now, these special foods have not been available as pure, 100% additive-free supplements. We prepare them by freeze-drying freshly harvested organs and glands, preserving the unaltered proteins, enzymes and fat-soluble activators so important in traditional and healing diets – about an ounce of fresh tissue goes into making each six capsules. The tissues we use are taken only from grassfed, inspected animals, raised without the use of pesticides, hormones or antibiotics in New Zealand – where mad cow disease has never occurred. All products are of bovine source, except pancreas which is porcine and thymus which is lamb. As with all Dr. Ron’s Ultra-Pure™ products, we use no stearates or other lubricants, binders, fillers, coatings, flowing agents or other added ingredients of any kind in our organ and gland supplements. Because we use only pure nutrients, our supplements achieve maximum absorption, and are truly hypoallergenic. “Prostate surgery left me with pain in the area and frequency and urgency of urination.
