> ARE DRUG COMPANIES DESTROYING U.S. HEALTH CARE SYSTEM?

> (Dr. W.) The U.S. government's annual bill for healthcare spending -

$3,925 per person - significantly exceeds that of all other nations. Despite

this, our current health care system is increasingly failing both patients

and medical staff, and experts warn it is in danger of collapse.

> Looking for a culprit? Consider this: Pharmaceutical company profit-taking

is so large it outstrips every other industry by far. Americans will spend

over $500 billion on drugs in this year alone. The drug companies claim that

they need large earnings ($124,835,595,000 in 1999, for example) to conduct

their research, but just one of every five dollars the drug industry

collects actually goes to drug research. Some drug companies spend twice as

much annually for marketing and advertising than they do for research and

development. From the years 1996 to 2001, pharmaceutical companies spent $3

billion on consumer advertising. Many of the advertised pharmaceuticals are

not (contrary to popular belief) FDA-approved, and the information contained

in the advertisements is often misleading and not entirely accurate.

> Pharmaceutical companies have enormous influence on physicians through

many billions of dollars of marketing resources. Drug companies in the U.S.

spend, on average, $10,000 per physician to influence their behavior,

through subsidizing studies in major journals, aggressive marketing by drug

reps, and ads and sponsorship of medical education programs for doctors and

medical residents (doctors in training). It is no wonder that 2/3 of doctor

visits result in a drug being prescribed; this is one of the major factors

contributing to the reason that physicians are the third leading cause of

death in the U.S., as they are trained to have an over-reliance on using

drugs as Band-Aids rather than seeking the cause of the problem.

> This is all the more reason why it is important that you take control of

your health destiny with education, healthy lifestyle choices, and the

practice of preventative medicine. Do not be simply a pawn of commercial

medical interests and the reactive, allopathic " drugs-and-surgery " approach

to health and healing. (Br Med J, 2003; 326:416. N Engl J Med, 2002;

346:498-505, 524-531.)

> STRETCHING FOR NOTHING

> (Dr. W.) Other than it being an easy way to " work out, " is there any other

reason to stretch before or after exercising? You would think so by the

number of people who do it and by the advice given by the experts for

decades. But other than it " seeming " like it would be a good idea to prevent

injury and increase flexibility, there is little if any evidence of its

value. It's just another one of those truths that are assumed that just

isn't so.

> Evidence shows that stretching before exercise does not necessarily result

in decreased injury when compared to not stretching. In a review of 12

studies, 3 showed an increased risk, 5 no effect and 4 showed benefit. A

wash.

> Most injuries occur during flexion of the muscle during the normal range

of motion, not during extended range. In fact, more injury can be expected

since stretching can create more unstable joints. Tightness, not looseness,

improves athletic performance in most sports. Prolonged passive force

(stretching) can also decrease voluntary muscular strength for up to an hour

after. The net result is slower muscle activation and lower contractile

force...hardly what is needed in most sports.

> Stretching is neither an exercise nor a warm-up. The best way to prepare

muscles for an activity is to mimic the movement you are going to do, low

grade, until you are literally warm. Heat is the best injury-preventer of

all.

> With this said, stretching does have its place in helping to maintain

flexibility and range of motion as we age. Done regularly, it can help that

seizing up that can occur as the years pile on. But don't let it substitute

for real aerobic exercise and weight-bearing training done with the

intensity that tells your body you mean it. (Clin J Sport Med, 1999;

9(4):221-7. Br Med J, 2002; 325(7362):468.)

> Superb Health

> Veterinarian, Wisconsin: " We have used Wysong Diets since June 1985, and I

must say I was somewhat skeptical at first. We are now using Wysong Diets on

all ages of animals and have a long enough experience with it to see the

benefits. Our clients are beginning to tell us how well their animals are

doing, especially in their hair coat, weight, and general well being. Thank

you for introducing this product to us. It has greatly helped us provide a

superior food for our patients. "

>

> Love the Philosophy, Information & Honesty

> Internet: " I thoroughly enjoy all the info found on your website.

Initially I was drawn to Wysong because I was told it was the best dog food.

Through reading your statements and approaches, as well as witnessing

thorough and honest responses to questions and controversies regarding your

approach to healthy living, I came to understand that you are not supplying

the best dog food, but more importantly, supplying the best insight on the

best way to feed one's dog. "

> PRODUCT FEATURE

> Wysong ImmulynT: The immune system operates as a powerful defense,

shielding the body from the most common cold to the most troublesome

allergies to the most deadly cancers. Every year, Americans suffer 1 billion

colds and 35-50 million cases of the flu (more than 20,000 people die).

Allergies are the sixth leading cause of chronic disease in the United

States, costing the healthcare system over $18 billion annually. And despite

a multibillion dollar research and medical campaign since President Nixon's

" War on Cancer, " one out of three Americans now living will eventually get

cancer.

> Wysong ImmulynT harnesses the healing power of nature and science to

support the body's own natural defenses against these and countless other

conditions. It is a sophisticated blend of immune-stimulating mushrooms,

amino acids and other natural nutrients. If you'd like to try ImmulynT, take

advantage of our discount offer below.

> HELP US HELP YOU

> As you know, this newsletter as well as much of the Wysong educational

material is available free. But as you also might imagine, maintaining the

website, the e-Health Letter r base and doing all the question

answering, research, writing and editing takes a number of people who have

families to feed, and an enormous amount of money and time. The support can

only come from one place - those of you who purchase Wysong products. Our

goal is to continue to bring to you information and products that can make a

real difference in your life, value far beyond any cost to you. When you

think on it, what is the value of disease, pain and incapacity you never

experience, or disease reversed naturally because of applying perhaps just

one of the ideas revealed to you by Wysong? We hope it is worth your

continued allegiance and we thank you, for without your support we could not

be here.

> Wysong Introduces Two New Ferret Diets!

> Wysong has developed two new diets designed for the health of your pet

ferrets. Like all Wysong Diets, Ferret Archetypal-1T and Ferret

Archetypal-2T seek to imitate the diet your pets would eat in the wild - the

diet for which they were genetically programmed.

>

>

> NEW BOOK - THE TRUTH ABOUT PET FOODS

> Dr. Wysong's new book, The Truth About Pet Foods, is now available.

> You will find it to be, without question, the most important book ever

written on pet health and nutrition.

> Although it is scientifically documented, it is an easy and entertaining

read. 256 pages, 32 chapters, illustrated and in economical soft cover.

> This will be a provocative and controversial book because it takes a

no-holds-barred critical look at a mega-billion dollar industry, and an

institutional and professional mindset that does not want to be dislodged.

Using compelling logic and scientific proof, Dr. Wysong makes the case that

the modern approach to pet health and feeding has it all wrong.

> However, this is not just a critique, it will empower you with knowledge

and practical ideas on how you can take control of your pet's health and

avoid the epidemic of degenerative diseases plaguing both pets and humans.

> Even if you do not have a pet, the information will be equally helpful to

you and your family.

> If applied, the information in this book can do more to prevent and cure

disease, and optimize health, than the sum total of all medical measures

combined.

> If you do not agree, we'll refund every penny.

> $12.95, plus $3.50 shipping and handling.

> You can use our discount offer even if your order does not total $25, and

forget the shipping and handling charge if you are a r.

>

>

> WYSONG BREEDER AND SHELTER/ADOPTION SHOWCASES

> We will be providing two showcases of pet availability.

> If you are a shelter, rescue organization, or an individual looking for a

home for a pet, send a description - or better yet, a video - that we can

put on the website.

> If you are a breeder, or just a pet owner with young ones you wish to

sell, and you have been feeding according to Dr. Wysong's optimal health

principles, let us showcase your Wysong litter. Send a video and other

information that would be helpful to those looking for a healthy pet. Since

good health from good nutrition is actually genetically transmitted, we will

help for free if you provide details on how you have been feeding.

>

>

> FREE SAMPLE

> Free small sample of ArchetypeT with any order upon request. This is

probably the most ideal food we have yet created. If you doubt it, let your

pet decide. It is pure gustatory bliss. The health dividends are a great

bonus, too.

>

>

> FREE NEW TAPE OR CD FOR SUBSCRIBERS

> Be sure to get a copy of Dr. Wysong's new tape or CD: " How to Optimize

Your Pet's Health. " Thought provoking and provocative, to say the least.

This is the only place you will get the real goods on the 12 billion dollar

pet food scam perpetuated on the American public. You will never look at

your pet's food bowl the same, and if you put Dr. Wysong's ideas into

action, you will make your pet the healthiest it can be and save money at

the same time. We'll send you a free copy of this hour-long tape or CD with

any order from Wysong, or upon request.
