Guest guest Posted June 22, 2003 Report Share Posted June 22, 2003 Yo Ducan, Great web site and great infomercial on the stuff that you are peddling. I would stress that the antioxidant vitamins should be natural, not synthetic, that the glutathione be reduced, and the whey be whole whey, not an isolate. More importantly, addressing the problem of a shortage of glutathione, which can be corrected by going to a whole food diet and staying away from the processed foods that cause much of the free radicals in the first place (which uses up what glutathione you have). I believe that it is more important to concentrate on lifestyle, and to find the CAUSES of health problems, rather than randomly take magic pills to mask the real problem (which is usually lifestyle related). Taking vitamins, minerals, cofactors, food supplements, etc. can help accelerate the healing process, but should not replace a healing lifestyle. -- Donald E.

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2003 Report Share Posted June 23, 2003 What is inulin? Terry Petty Duncan Crow [duncancrow] Sunday, June 22, 2003 9:05 AM Re: Re: anti-inflamatory Laura; If you want to adress the cause rather than the inflammation, a clogging in the inner ear and eustachian tube is most often infection; a fungal infection, usually candida albicans. It can be cleared with two methods. 1) ozone insufflation in the ears 2) a little acidophilus in a slurry introduced to each ear. Perhaps you should reduce your toxin load and reduce the allergic response. Do you do liver/gallbladder flushes? A very good and simple one is here: http://zeek.ca/4u/article.php?op=Print & sid=38 Because you have an ear problem that may be candida, and also allergic responses, there's a good chance you have too much of it in your bowel too. Allergic responses are seriously aggravated or even caused by bowel dysbiosis, including candida. The way to correct that is by introducing inulin into your diet and eliminating sugar and starch. Inulin feeds only the correct bowel bacteria so the numbers of them improve and the numbers of the bad ones are reduced. Suppressing allergic responses with herbs and drugs is not removing the cause of the responses. Duncan Crow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 27, 2003 Report Share Posted June 27, 2003 Hi Donald; > > I would stress that the antioxidant vitamins should be natural, not > synthetic, that the glutathione be reduced, and the whey be whole whey, > not an isolate.

I agree with the cold-processed whole whey concentrate in concept, but in practice, people often react to the lactose and fat in it but they can tolerate the cold-processed whey isolate OK. Although there's a whey on my website, it's not the one I normally reach for because of the sugar in it; I buy my whey isolate from the store. As you say, there are glutathione precursors in whole foods, but they are not plentiful enough to be curative. According to a list from the USDA, nothing measures up. Because you need 20-30 grams of whey isolate to bring up glutathione enough for a " cure " , you're looking at about 3 kilos of strong glutathione precursors in their natural form. As an example, raw egg whites are a good source; it takes 1 kilo of raw egg whites to equal 10 grams of whey isolate. You could argue that the whole foods tend to produce enough glutathione to get one by if you're fairly young and not at all ill or infected, but that argument does not address natural glutathione shortfall due to aging. That still leaves me leaning towards the anti-aging therapies for optimal health and that means arresting, not tolerating, a certain amount of free radical damage. There are a couple of other supplements that make people look and feel younger, grow hair back etc, such as HGH increase, Gerovital H7, and another that escapes me... can you reverse the aging process with whole foods? If you can I'm interested in mentioning it in my next workshop. Let's start another thread on HGH and a separate one for Inulin. > > I believe that it is more important to concentrate on lifestyle, and to > find the CAUSES of health problems, rather than randomly take magic pills > to mask the real problem (which is usually lifestyle related).

Jacobs Registered Massage Therapist Macrobiotic Counselor Reiki > Practitioner Professional Speaker > I second your belief that nearly everything is lifestyle caused. Detoxification, nutrition, hormonal balance, and antioxidants play a large role, and sleep and mental balance, although that often falls into line when you address the first four. I don't go with random supplementation either, but I do suggest a basic minimum program to about half of my clients. What I do is get clients to accelerate healing plus undertake lifestyle changes. Most of the time they will only do about half of several lifestyle changes, but they're pretty good about taking a couple of supplements. I think an advantage my approach has over a strictly dietary model is that while I'm waiting for the supplements and lifestyle changes to kick in, the ozone therapy, colloidal silver, electromedicine, can save lives and limbs.

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2003 Report Share Posted July 1, 2003 Well, kinda sorta. Smile. I got eli lilly gh from a pharmacy in mexico. I did have to have a prescription for it, but it was so much cheaper than eli lilly in the US. For the benefits of hgh you can do colostrum, pure colostrum that is. In addition to igf-l it has transforming growth factor which restore joints and epithelial growth factor which restores skin and many others. My mom did both and so did I and we both preferred the colostrum. Costs alot less and doesn't stress the body like the injections do and worked better in general. Immune Tree is what we used. It is pure and organic. I also tried deer antler velvet and it works, but it reminds me of the injections. It is limited compared to the multifaceted colostrum.

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2003 Report Share Posted July 1, 2003 As far as I know HGH is by prescription in the US as it is in Canada. Doctors, anti-aging specialists, prefer to use an amino acids blend that induces your own levels to rise naturally, and within your body's control mechanism rather than overpowering it. Shots are their second choice anyway. The amino acids method is available to all. Oral/sublingual HGH doesn't do anything; in fact, the specialists found in lab tests that no HGH- sounding product was effective in 100 products they tested, except the amino acids. If you want to know about the HGH increaser they use, contact me and I'll point you to it.

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2003 Report Share Posted July 7, 2003 Duncan, What tests do you have done to determine nutrient deficiencies and what levels of supplementation is needed? How do you determine the causes of the deficiencies, or do you just recommend that they stay on supplements for life? What lifestyle changes do you recommend? Based on your posts to this group, I assume that you stress supplementation more than lifestyle. The " people would rather take pills than change their lifestyle " mantra is what the medical community keeps telling us, to justify there over usage. Is that what we should be doing with supplements? -- Donald E.
