HOW TO DESTROY CONFIDENCE IN VITAMINS WHEN YOU DO NOT HAVE THE FACTS

 

by Andrew W. Saul

 

Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to this year's annual meeting of the

World Headquarters of Pharmaceutical Politicians, Educators, and

Reporters (WHOPPER).

 

Let us get right to the point. Many of our members and affiliates have

complained about what is, for us, an alarming and dangerous segment of

health care: so-called orthomolecular medicine. We want to assure you

that, although this therapeutic approach is, unfortunately, very

effective in preventing and treating disease, that we will make sure

the public will never learn of it.

 

We can say this with considerable confidence, since for over 50 years

we have managed to keep virtually all psychiatrists from using niacin

to treat schizophrenia; we have kept cardiologists from prescribing

vitamin E; and we have kept general practitioners from prescribing

vitamin C for viral illnesses.

 

Yes, it's really been a triumphant half-century. How did we do it, you

may ask. It is really quite easy. Here is a summary for those of you

that may have missed the last WHOPPER meeting.

 

Our guiding principle is, keep the public afraid. Any fear will do,

but we have been especially pleased with, and therefore recommend

instilling, the fear of new strains of flu viruses; the fear of

vaccine shortages; and most especially, the fear of vitamin toxicity.

 

Our success with this last one has been nothing short of spectacular.

 

Of course, you know that decades of poison control center statistics

show that there have been virtually no deaths from vitamins. You also

know that properly prescribed drugs, taken as directed, kill at least

100,000 Americans annually. Clearly, the last thing we want is for the

public to actually figure out that vitamin therapy is tens of

thousands of times safer than drug therapy.

 

Therefore, we endorse the following tactics:

 

1) Always demand 100% safety and 100% efficacy from nutritional

therapy. This is particularly effective when you, at the very same

time, continually remind the public that they have to expect and

accept a reasonable amount of dangerous, even fatal, side effects with

drug therapy. And, if one drug does not work, there is always another,

still more expensive drug that might.

 

2) Always give priority to publishing research that shows that

vitamins are ineffective, or outright harmful. Select the low-dose

vitamin study; ignore the high-dose study. Pick the one negative

vitamin study; ignore the hundreds of positive vitamin studies. If a

positive megavitamin study is submitted to your department, medical

society or journal, reject it on a technicality, and take a year or

two to do so. Better still, make the authors publish in the Journal of

Orthomolecular Medicine. After all, whatever is published there will

not be indexed by the National Library of Medicine. Therefore, the

public's annual 700 million MEDLINE searches will utterly fail to find

it. You cannot read what cannot be located.

 

3) Obfuscation works. Cloud and confuse the issue. Never let the truth

stand in the way of a good press release. This we learned from the

tobacco industry: If you cannot wow 'em with wisdom, baffle them with

baloney. Remember, with vitamins, always highlight the negative;

ignore the positive.

 

4) Never let the facts get in the way of as good argument. A good

argument is one that you win. It's about politics, not health.

Remember that, ladies and gentlemen. Don't worry about accuracy. Here

is a perfect model for you:

 

" Dietary supplements cannot make up for poor food choices. They have

not been proven to boost energy or prevent or cure diseases. " (The

American Dietetic Association. Dietary Supplements: Do You Know All

the Facts? March 24, 2004.

 

http://www.eatright.org/Public/NutritionInformation/index_19201.cfm

 

Take heed of what behaviorist B.F. Skinner said: Education is a very

large number of very small steps. The secret is to keep plugging away,

every chance we get. Every time we tell a WHOPPER in the news media,

it is one additional, accumulative step towards washing the public's

mind clean as a whistle, and stamping out nutritional medicine for good.

 

Remember, half of America takes vitamins, but fewer than 1% of

physicians practice orthomolecular medicine. How hard can it be to

shut the rest of them up? After all, look what we did to Linus

Pauling. When he spoke out for vitamin C, we got the entire medical

world to openly snicker at the only person in history to win two

unshared Nobel prizes. Talk about a WHOPPER!

 

Now go back to your word-processors and get to work. Wade through

those nutrition studies and latch onto the negative ones. The news

media are waiting to hear from you.

 

OK: my story of WHOPPER may be (slightly) fictitious, but the problem

is real enough: Negative stories about vitamins indeed have been

front-page leads, yet vitamin cures have rarely made the evening news.

 

This is changing rapidly. The media are now regularly hearing from

orthomolecular medicine. One way is through the Orthomolecular

Medicine News Service (OMNS), a project of particular interest to the

late, great Dr. High Riordan. OMNS began full operation on March 23,

2005; today, OMNS press releases go out to over 3,000 media outlets,

including newspapers, radio and TV stations worldwide.

 

OMNS asserts and reasserts the positive messages:

 

1) Orthomolecular medicine saves lives.

 

2) The number one side effect of vitamins is failure to take enough of

them.

 

3) Vitamins are not the problem; they are the solution.

 

Additionally, OMNS press releases are peer reviewed. The editorial

board consists of Abram Hoffer, M.D., Ph.D.; Harold Foster, Ph.D.;

Bradford Weeks, M.D.; Eric Paterson, M.D., Carolyn Dean, M.D., N.D.;

and Thomas Levy, M.D., J.D.

 

Dr. Hugh Riordan wanted to promote " an awareness of orthomolecular, "

saying often that he wanted orthomolecular medicine to be a household

word. OMNS intends to accomplish precisely that. Today.

And now, in fairness, let's point out some really important

mega-nutrition news that the news media DID finally pick up:

 

HIGH DOSES OF INTRAVENOUS VITAMIN C FIGHT CANCER

 

Kathleen Doheny, The New York Times, Tues, Sept.13, 2005

 

" High doses of vitamin C administered intravenously can fight cancer

-- at least in the laboratory, researchers report.

 

" (The study) examined the body's absorption of the nutrient and found

that while oral intake does reach a saturation point, when you give

doses intravenously they go through the roof in the blood and then

they are cleared, said lead researcher Dr. Mark Levine (chief of the

molecular and clinical nutrition section and senior staff physician,

National Institute of Diabetes & Digestive & Kidney Diseases).

According to Levine, a 10 gram dose (10,000 milligrams) of vitamin C

given intravenously produces bloodstream concentrations more than

25-fold higher than concentrations achieved from the same oral dose.

 

" Some antibiotics are poorly absorbed when given orally but fight

infections effectively when given intravenously, and Levine and his

team thought that might be the case with vitamin C and cancer. Working

with cell lines in the laboratory, they used high doses of vitamin C

that could only be achieved by IV administration.

 

At the highest concentration of ascorbic acid, if given intravenously,

they don't touch normal cells and they kill lots of cancer cells. We

don't know why, Levine said. "

 

(Editor's note: Yes, this is certainly good news, although it is not

really " news " to most Doctor Yourself Newsletter readers. It is rather

an official confirmation, one that has, finally, gotten the attention

of the media. Even FOX news picked it up. As Gomer Pyle said, " Goll-y! " )

 

WHY THE DELAY?

 

Commentary by Bill Sardi

 

" With a growing body of evidence mounting, National Institutes of

Health (NIH) researchers recently conceded that intravenous vitamin C

may be an effective treatment for cancer. Last year the same

researchers reported a similar study but the news media failed to

publish it.

 

" The latest study, published in the Proceedings of the National

Academy of Sciences, confirms the work of Nobel-Prize winner Linus

Pauling who conducted cancer research in the 1970s with vitamin C. Dr.

Pauling's studies were discredited at the time by poorly conducted

research studies at the Mayo Clinic.

 

" NIH researchers made no mention of their earlier study in 2004 which

showed that oral-dose vitamin C can achieve three times greater blood

concentration than previously thought possible, a fact which negates

the current Recommended Dietary Allowance for vitamin C. NIH

researchers refuse to issue a retraction of their earlier flawed

research which mistakenly claimed humans cannot benefit from high-dose

oral vitamin C supplements. "

give plausibility to i.v. ascorbic acid in cancer treatment... "

 

FLU VACCINATION AND TREATMENT FALL FAR SHORT

 

Excerpted from the article by Elisabeth Rosenthal, International

Herald Tribune, September 22, 2005

 

" Two new surprising Lancet research papers have found flu treatments

are far less effective

 

than previously thought. . . In one paper, international researchers

analyzed all the data from patient studies on the flu vaccine

performed worldwide in the last 37 years and discovered that vaccines

showed at best a " modest " ability to prevent influenza or its

complications in elderly people.

 

" " The runaway 100 percent effectiveness that's touted by proponents

was nowhere to be seen, " said Dr. Tom Jefferson, a researcher in Rome

with the Cochrane Vaccine Fields project, an international consortium

of scientists who perform systematic reviews of research data. " There

is a wild overestimation of the impact of these vaccines in the

community, " he said.

 

" In the second paper, researchers from the Centers for Disease Control

and Prevention in Atlanta found " a dramatic increase in drug

resistance in circulating human influenza viruses in recent years, "

said Dr. Rick Bright of the disease control centers. "

 

" The research demonstrates how quickly and unexpectedly flu viruses

can become impervious to medicines once they are put into common use,

as they would be in the case of a pandemic. Also, at their best,

antiviral medicines do not cure influenza. "

 

" " What you see is that marketing rules the response to influenza, and

scientific evidence comes fourth or fifth, " Dr. Jefferson said.

" Vaccines may have a role, but they appear to have a modest effect.

The best strategy to prevent the illness is to wash your hands. " "

 

(Editor's note: I like clean hands as much as the next person, but

there is SO much

READERS SAY:

 

MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY

 

Frank Rosenberger writes:

 

" I was diagnosed with the FSHD form of muscular dystrophy some years

ago and given the typical there is no known cure comment from the

muscle specialist, neurosurgeon and my personal doctor. I accepted the

situation, but continued to hope for some development in the disease.

I was doing a search on the internet one day and came across the

Doctor Yourself website, and read the article on M.D

(http://www.doctoryourself.com/dystrophy.html ). For the first time in

years I felt encouraged and began to try a combination of the items

listed in the article. That was approximately two months ago. I

noticed an immediate increase in my energy level, which felt good in

itself, but the amazing happened just recently when both my wife and I

noticed a increase in the size of my left leg's calf muscle (this is

without exercising). It was very obvious. I am continuing with the

vitamins and supplements with an eager, though cautious one day at a

time , expectation of further results.

 

" I just wanted to say THANK YOU for being bold enough to have a

website that is not afraid to stand against conventional medicine, and

to give both hope and results to someone looking for such. "

 

POISON IVY

 

Robert McClain writes:

 

" Corvus, our 6 year old, unknowingly played in a poison ivy patch,

along with a friend of his. Once I knew what I was dealing with, I

mixed a paste of calcium ascorbate, then gently rubbed it onto the

rash and made him rest for 15 minutes with the paste in full contact.

I then slowly dissolved the paste onto his skin by misting him with

distilled water. After that, I misted his skin with a solution of

calcium ascorbate several times a day, while making him eat 2 grams an

hour, to bowel tolerance.

 

" He was free of any evidence of poison ivy in less than three days.

His buddy David was a mess for almost two weeks and has the scars to

prove it. David also took some kind of steroid which didn't help him

too much. David's Mom would not heed my advice, because I'm the

" vitamin quack " in our circle of friends. Needless to say, Corvus now

has a poster with 18 pictures of poison ivy so that he knows what to

look for, and a Dad who knows just what to do if he grabs the wrong

vegetation in the woods.

 

" I would never have believed it if I hadn't tried it myself. "

CAFFEINE BLUES

 

by Stephen Cherniske (Warner Books, 1998. 464 pages. ISBN: 0446673919.)

 

A review by Doctor Yourself volunteer Vivian Unger

 

Did you know that:

 

* The lift you get from a cup of coffee is caused by the release of

stress hormones?

 

* Caffeine promotes the loss of calcium and other vitamins and

minerals through the urine?

 

* Caffeine can disrupt sleep patterns, even if you only drink it in

the morning?

 

* It can take up to 12 hours for the body to detoxify a single cup of

coffee?

 

* Many over-the-counter drugs contain caffeine, a fact which is not

disclosed on the labels?

 

This is just a sampling of the information Stephen Cherniske reveals

in Caffeine Blues. When I first came across this book, I had only just

figured out why I kept getting headaches that started on Saturday

morning and lasted until Sunday evening, spoiling my whole weekend.

This phenomenon had me mystified for some time, until I discovered

that a cup of coffee would banish the headache, as if by magic.

Mystery solved I was clearly physically addicted to coffee, and

experiencing withdrawal. The puzzling thing was that I kept hearing

that coffee was not physically addictive, merely " habit-forming. "

 

Cherniske debunks this myth and others, including the notion that

caffeine boosts mental performance (it actually lowers it). The book

lists a startling array of conditions caused or exacerbated by

caffeine: allergies, asthma, diabetes, fibromyalgia, osteoporosis...

the list goes on. Many people have accused Cherniske of being

overzealous in his attack on the drug, but no one can deny he has done

his homework. Every single claim he makes is backed up by medical

studies listed in forty pages of endnotes.

 

The chapter on women's health discloses that women are more sensitive

to caffeine than men. Caffeine can cause breast lumps, lower

fertility, and harm the fetus if taken during pregnancy. I appreciate

that Cherniske devotes a separate chapter to women's issues. Since

most studies are done on men, this subject is often overlooked.

 

Cherniske also touches on issues that are not normally mentioned in

conjunction with coffee and caffeine, such as pesticides and

deforestation. He notes that coffee often contains a raft of pesticide

residues and other contaminants, and that some of them, such as DDT,

are outlawed in North America. He also connects coffee cultivation

with the loss of rain forest. Coffee was once grown in shade, allowing

forest canopies to be left in place. Then in the 80's, a new hybrid

coffee was introduced that grew in full sun, leading to an increase in

yields, and a decrease in rain forest.

 

In addition to careful, thorough research, this helpful book provides

a test you can take to determine your degree of addiction, and a

program for getting off the bean. The latter includes a list of

supplements that boost your energy levels until your body heals from

the damage done to it by caffeine. Having quit coffee myself, with the

help of this book, I can testify to the fact that

 

it's no picnic. It took a month before I started to feel normal again.

When you go off coffee after using it for years, you need all the help

you can get.

 

As if all this isn't enough, Cherniske throws in 50 proven stress

reducers, a list of resources, and Your Off-the-Bean Journal that

readers can use to chart their progress and compare the state of their

health before and after quitting. Indeed, if you are anything like me,

you will be surprised at just how many symptoms you didn't even

connect to caffeine will disappear once you get through the

detoxification process.

 

The only thing I can find to criticize in Caffeine Blues is

Cherniske's assertion that of all the thousands of research papers

that have been published on caffeine, none have concluded that

caffeine is good for you. In fact, I have seen references in

newspapers and magazines to studies that purport to have found health

benefits. Perhaps these studies came out after the book. In any case,

this is a minor flaw. As Cherniske makes clear, the damage caused by

caffeine outweighs any supposed health benefits. Caffeine Blues has so

much to offer, that I doubt there is a better buy out there for anyone

who is tired of being a slave to their morning cup of coffee.

SUPERNUTRITION as a Strategy for the Control of Disease

 

by Roger J. Williams, PhD.[1]

 

Summary and comments by Doctor Yourself volunteer Robert Sarver

 

Aside from the frank starvation there are three levels of nutrition

that human beings have experienced: Poor, fair and good.

" Supernutrition " (total nutrition in the most sophisticated sense) is

above and beyond all these. It is concerned with the quality of

nutrition, and is antithetical to caloric overnutrition.

 

" Poor nutrition " brings about in human populations severe

underdevelopment of the young as well as deficiency diseases:

beriberi, scurvy, pellagra, rickets, kwashiorkor and all the

ill-defined combinations and variations of these afflictions.

 

" Fair nutrition " is good enough to prevent the well-recognized

deficiency diseases but is not good enough to promote positive health

and excellent development. Mediocre nutrition is unfortunately the

kind that medical practitioners have generally been taught to regard

as satisfactory. Many nutritionists have tended to accept the same

doctrine: if everyone gets the government's suggested but minimal

daily requirements of certain specified nutrients, and are free from

overt deficiency diseases, the major aims of nutrition have been achieved.

 

" Good nutrition " is best exemplified by what we often give our cats

and dogs, as well as chickens and pigs being raised for the market.

Such nutrition provides the animals not only with energy, but with an

abundance of protein of high quality, as well as a good assortment of

minerals and vitamins well above the danger line. Good nutrition is

experienced by no more than a minority of the population such as ours

in the United States; for many are satisfied if their nutrition is

fair and the physicians, who are typically ill-trained in this area,

too often concur.

 

" Supernutrition " is a strategy for promoting health and preventing

disease. It is a valid concept because there are many loopholes even

in good nutrition. If all individuals had perfect digestive systems

and about average needs in every respect, then the loopholes would be

minimal; but such individuals are probably so rare that they need not

be considered. Supernutrition is based on two biological observations

which can hardly be challenged: First, living cells, in our bodies and

everywhere, practically never encounter perfect optimal environmental

conditions; second, living cells when furnished with wholly

satisfactory environments, including the absence of pathogenic

organisms, will respond with health and vigor. If any link in the

cells' environment is weak or missing, then the cells cannot remain

healthy. The weak link may be something well recognized like oxygen,

tryptophan, thiamine or iron or it may be something more obscure like

molybdenum, folic acid or selenium. The result is the same: an

impoverished environment which leads to functional impairment.

 

COMMENTS:

 

How does the above article, written 34 years ago, apply to what we

know today about nutrition? The nutritional situation has changed

little in that time and may even be worse for the average person.

Americans consume too many processed foods, too much sugar and too

little nutrition.

 

Poor nutrition is the state of the most Americans' diets. Typical of

this nutritional level are diets high in foods containing added sugar,

processed foods, and might contain one or two servings of fresh fruit

and vegetables a day. This diet contains no vitamin or mineral

supplements.

 

Fair nutrition is the level of nutrition for those who make some

minimal effort for a better diet. This diet includes some restrictions

of highly processed foods and foods with added sugar, might contain

three or four servings of fresh fruit and vegetables a day, and

includes a low-potency multivitamin/multi-mineral supplement.

 

Good nutrition includes at least seven servings (each serving is half

a cup) of unprocessed fruits and vegetables each day, 400 IU of

vitamin E, 3,000 mg of vitamin C taken in divided doses during the

day, and a high potency multivitamin/multi-mineral.

 

Supernutrition includes those items for good nutrition and the

supplements recommended at

http://www.doctoryourself.com/news/v2n7.txt. Supernutrition also

includes added nutrients for preexisting conditions or those

predisposed to medical conditions as indicated by familial medical

history. A link to the common diseases, supplements and nutrition are

on the left side of the screen at www.doctoryourself.com.

 

The supplements recommended at Doctoryourself.com are safe, available

without a prescription and can be purchased over the Internet or at a

discount store. (Doctor Yourself does not have any financial

connection with any company, brand or manufacturer. We also decline to

recommend sources or suppliers to any reader.)

 

Can you afford supernutrition? The real question is: can you afford

not to have supernutrition? Visits to the doctor's office,

hospitalization, prescription drugs, pain and suffering, time lost

from work and away from loved ones are all reasons to give your body

supernutrition. Supernutrition will help you live a healthier,

happier, more productive and longer life.
