<HTML> DAlexan451: I did read the excerpts. DTRCN: great then we will start with the Validity of Articles DTRCN: had you heard of Dr Wallach DAlexan451: I don't think so. Is he ever on TV shows? DTRCN: I really don't know though I recd three of his tapes. DTRCN: from various friends wanting to know what I thought about him DTRCN: . DAlexan451: Are his tapes the "Dead people don't lie"? DTRCN: If you read the article what did you summarize from it and yes it is. DAlexan451: If what he says is true, we don't recognize malnutritions as a major health problem that is DAlexan451: responsible for deaths. DTRCN: I know what he says but what we want to focus on is the major points in the paragraph DTRCN: can you summarize it for me as 1, 2, 3, etc DTRCN: in what you gleaned from it. DAlexan451: I may have not gotten all of the e-mail. Was there more than your 3 line summery? DTRCN: all it was was a paragraph from the email I had rec'd and that is what we want to DTRCN: analyize DTRCN: so from what you read what points do you remember? DAlexan451: OK 1. Dr. Wallace preformed 17000 autopsies DTRCN: good DAlexan451: 2. He is a Nobel Prize winner in medicine. DAlexan451: 2. Alot of death from natural causes are not, according to him DAlexan451: 4. He feels it is because of a lack of earth minerals. DAlexan451: 5. The organs are starved causing death. DTRCN: ok now let us apply the 5 w's from school to this I am sure you remember those..lol DTRCN: . DAlexan451: who, what where, when why?? DAlexan451: Who-Dr. Wallace, Nobel Prize/Medicine DTRCN: ok let us look at this..........what type of Dr is he? DTRCN: do you know? DAlexan451: The prize was in Medicine-an MD?? DTRCN: he is a Vet DTRCN: what did he win? DAlexan451: Wolf/Wolf! DTRCN: lol DAlexan451: Nobel Prize in Medicine, but was it for this study or something else? DTRCN: actually in a statement from the Nobel committee, he did not win anything DTRCN: and it only says he was nominated but those names are never published per them only the DTRCN: winners. DTRCN: so they may have sent a letter saying he should be nominated I do not know DTRCN: but according to them he was not. So that leaves another question? DTRCN: What bodies did he autopsy DAlexan451: Now that I know that he is a Vet, I would guess it was animals DTRCN: the acutal fact is of the 17,000 only 3,000 were on humans and those where while he was DTRCN: in Africa DTRCN: so the when and where become very important. DTRCN: but the best is for last WHY...........he has something to sell. DTRCN: they are colloidal minerals in a bottle and very expensive. DTRCN: . DAlexan451: My husbands barber, whe sells all this diet junk, gave his tapy to my husband. DAlexan451: We listened, told him to get rid of it,mainly because of the sell. DTRCN: of course, but what grieves me is that by this hype and not telling the truth again the DTRCN: supplement industry is considered quackery. DAlexan451: It's very profitable! DTRCN: if he really wanted to help the people who are in need they wouldn't sell for $17 and up DTRCN: so any credibility for me went down the tubes. DAlexan451: Because the tape came from Joe the barber, it lost credibility DTRCN: Who, What, When, Where and Why are very important when trying to sort hype from good reliable information. . DTRCN: I have a complete email I will be sending you about this. DTRCN: On the other hand the vital statistics article is pretty straight forward. DTRCN: Who = Vital statistics bk, Why = to see what is causing death in the US DTRCN: What = list the disease and %, When = it is dated, Where = in the US. . DTRCN: any questions comments DAlexan451: Surprized tha diabetes isn't higher..What do you think the future is? DAlexan451: for diabetes? DTRCN: with they way children are eating today........I just saw an article about more adult onset DTRCN: in children. DTRCN: so I think it is not good unless major changes are made in our diets. DAlexan451: I was told it is rapidly increasing-obesity and lack of activity DTRCN: did you know that some of the schools still consider ketchup a vegetable. DAlexan451: ala Ronald Regan DTRCN: well, if keep encouraging sitting at a computer and TV plus eating fast food I think DAlexan451: Florida is considering opening soda machines all day instead of after school $$$$$ DTRCN: we may see a turnaround in lower age of death. . DAlexan451: What do you think of sugar substitutes--Equil? DTRCN: considering that most of the body gets its beginning of good health when we are young we are in deep trouble as a nation. . DTRCN: personally, I won't touch them. I really hate seeing parents giving diet drinks to kids. DTRCN: the studies are too inconclusive about children and sugar subs. DAlexan451: I agree-can't stand it. My husband, type 2 diabetes, uses it. I wish he wouldn't. DAlexan451: He doesn't have much in a day--1 soda, a sprinkle on cereal DTRCN: well, I don't know what to tell you. There is not good way to deal with a sweet tooth with diabetes. DTRCN: that is not bad some do a 6pk a day. DTRCN: . DTRCN: Ok ready to start with minerals . DTRCN: Sulfur, Chromium, Manganese, Molybdenum DTRCN: MOLYBDENUM = Mo (mol - yb- den- um) DTRCN: PROPERTIES: Mo is a silvery-gray metal that looks like lead. It DTRCN: s mined almost exclusively from one large deposit in Colorado. Mo is found in ALL tissues in the body. The average adult body contains about 9mg of Mo with the highest concentrations being in the liver, kidneys, bone and skin. DTRCN: FUNCTIONS: DTRCN: 1) Mo is a component of uric acid, a nitrogen waste productof protein metabolism DTRCN: 2) Mo is also necessary for Iron utilization DTRCN: 3) it helps with alcohol and sulfite detoxification DTRCN: 4) they now believe Mo can act as an antioxidant DTRCN: 5) Mo has been shown to be important in normal sexual function in men. . DTRCN: ABSORPTION: as much as 88-93% of dietary intake is DTRCN: absorbed. Excretion is mainly through urine. Excretion of Mo DTRCN: increases as dietary levels rise. This prevents toxicity from occurring DTRCN: DEFICIENCY: Mo deficiency is rare yet it has been seen with DTRCN: patients on long term tube feedings, or people with a genetic defect DTRCN: causing the body's inability to utilize Mo. . DTRCN: MARGINAL Mo deficiency has been associated with esophageal DTRCN: cancer also Low Mo levels are linked to an increased allergic reaction DTRCN: to sulfite additives. DTRCN: SOURCES: milk, beans, bread, liver and cereals. The DTRCN: Molybdenum content in plants depends entirely on the soil where they DTRCN: are grown. . DTRCN: OHA & RDA = none....a safe intake is considered 250 mcg DTRCN: TOXICITY: is rare but can happen. Symptoms include: weight DTRCN: loss, slow growth, anemia, diarrhea, high blood levels of uric acid, DTRCN: swelling in the joints. These may occur with intakes of 10-15 "mcg"NOT "mg." DTRCN: Mo can be and has been used to detoxify copper toxicity. Mo DTRCN: competes with Copper/Cu at absorption sites, therefore, the body will take up the Mo not the Cu. . DTRCN: Mo works in conjunction with B2/Riboflavin in the conversion of foodto energy. . DTRCN: NOTE: Mo destroys nitrosamines (a byproduct of nitrates used to DTRCN: preserve meats) which have been found to cause cancer. DTRCN: and questions on Molybdenum? DAlexan451: No, but it must be busy with all the lunch meats (subs) everyone is eating. DTRCN: yep.. :) . DTRCN: MANGANESE = Mn . DTRCN: HISTORY: Mn is what makes possible splitting water into oxygen DTRCN: by using sun energy and that was 2 1/2 billion yrs ago. DTRCN: . DTRCN: ABSORPTION: Only 3-5% of dietary Mn is absorbed and after DTRCN: absorption it goes to the liver. Antacids decrease Mn absorption as DTRCN: can laxatives, tannins in teas and phytates a chemical in vegetables. DTRCN: NOTE: High intake of Mg(Magnesium), Ca(Calcium), Fe(Iron) and DTRCN: P(Phosphorus) may also decrease Mn absorption. DTRCN: FUNCTIONS: . DTRCN: Mn seems to be involved in many enzyme systems but many of its DTRCN: functions are not understood. DTRCN: 1) it acts as a cofactor for energy production enzymes DTRCN: 2) Mn is involved in glucose metabolism DTRCN: 3) it is necessary for synthesis of RNA & DNA DTRCN: 4) Mn is necessary for growth and nervous system maintenance DTRCN: 5) it helps with blood clotting DTRCN: 6) Mn assist with female sex hormone function and thyroid hormone function . DTRCN: NOTE: Most Mn is found in the bones and glands DTRCN: They think the "Main Function" is to assist as an antioxidant which helps against free radical damage. . DTRCN: Free radicals are basically cells which are missing some DTRCN: information so they mutate. Usually our body can destroy these cells DTRCN: but when we are ill these cells can and will bond with other mutant cells and can eventually become cancer..............however antioxidants rob the radicals of the oxygen they need to feed and they are destroyed. in very simple terms. That is why with the air pollution, smoking, etc antioxidants can help. . DTRCN: SOURCES: cereals, spinach, whole meal bread, nuts, fruits, liver, DTRCN: root & dk grn veggies. Alkaline soil has Low levels of Mn DTRCN: Marginal Mn deficiency can be caused by high use of processed or DTRCN: refined foods. This can cause loss of Ca from the bone. Diabetics DTRCN: often have low Mn levels. DTRCN: NOTE: As much as 86% of Mn is lost when flour is refined and DTRCN: 89% when sugar is refined. DTRCN: If a person is hypoglycemic could they also have low levels of Mn? DTRCN: Diabetes and Hypoglycemia are at different points in the insulin chain. DTRCN: However, Drs feel that hypoglycemics have a higher chance of becoming diabetics so it might be reasonable that Mn could also be low for hypoglycemics DTRCN: BUT I have not seen any research stating that as a conclusion. DTRCN: Dietary Mn is usually non-toxic BUT there is Manganese intoxication = breathing in dust with high Mn count, Symptoms include: unaccountable laughter impulsiveness, inability to sleep violent acts, delusions, and hallucinations. DTRCN: NOTE: All tumors examined to date exhibit diminished amounts of DTRCN: Mn-SOD enzyme (superoxide dismutase) They conclude from this that DTRCN: Mn may play a role in aging as the low levels might quicken the degenerative process. DTRCN: NOTE: Researchers think that if Mn is deficient in the body that Mg DTRCN: (Magnesium) will substitute for it. DTRCN: . DTRCN: RDA = None Dr. Hendler suggest 10mg daily as safe DTRCN: . DTRCN: any questions. DTRCN: . DAlexan451: No-- DTRCN: ok now we are going to do Chromium which has to do with insulin usage produced in the body. DTRCN: so this might be of special interest to you. DTRCN: CHROMIUM = Cr DTRCN: PROPERTIES: Cr levels have been found to decrease as people age. DTRCN: Cr by itself shows a 2% absorption rate but if you add GTF (glucose tolerant factor) DTRCN: 25% is absorbed. GTF was discovered in the DTRCN: 1960's. It was found to improve glucose tolerance in adults. DTRCN: The Dept of Ag Vit & Min Nutrition lab recently concluded that "most American diets are too LOW in Cr and " long term" Cr deficiency is associated with adult diabetes and cardiovascular disease. DTRCN: GTF was analyzed as containing-dietary chromium complexed from Niacin and glutathione. DTRCN: OHA & RDA ranges from 50 mcg to 200 mcg DTRCN: SOURCES: brewers yeast, beef, whole wheat bread, and wheat bran DTRCN: FUNCTIONS: DTRCN: 1) Cr is critical to carbohydrate metabolism DTRCN: 2) Cr assist tissues to be sensitive to insulin uptake DTRCN: NOTE: a study done in St Lukes Hospital in NY used brewers yeast (Chromium Rich) against torula yeast (chromium poor) on healthy volunteers and on pts with maturity onset diabetes. DTRCN: Each person was randomly assigned and given 9gms daily for 8 weeks. DTRCN: At the end of the study, those receiving the brewers yeast had DTRCN: improved blood sugar levels as well as lowered blood cholesterol. DTRCN: The diabetics taking the Brewers Yeast showed increased sensitivity to insulin. . DTRCN: NOTE: The refining of our foods removes almost all Cr from Cr rich foods. DTRCN: Brewers yeast if you are interested in adding it to your diet can be gotten at most health food stores and actually has many other benefits . DAlexan451: How can you use Brewers Yeast in cooking? How do you use it? DTRCN: Here is a great Smoothie recipe: 1/2 Tbl Brew Yeast, 1/2 piece fruit (your choice), 1/2 cup skim milk, ice and blend. I sometimes need 1/2 tsp sugar or honey if my fruit is not sweet. . DAlexan451: I'll try it-thanks DTRCN: You can add it to yogurt but use small amounts as it causes gas. DTRCN: You can also get supplements but the yeast is best to try first. DTRCN: If you are using this for your husband let the Dr know and make sure you watch his sugar levels to see if they change. DAlexan451: ok DTRCN: any other comments or questions Marcia? . DAlexan451: My husband wanted me to ask--hair analysis for cr deficiency? His ex DTRCN: This is one supplement that I think in the future will be used for diabetics if they keep DTRCN: researching it. DAlexan451: thought she had everything wrong with her and had this done. DTRCN: Hair analysis is good for toxic minerals such as lead but there are no real DTRCN: standards for the test and therein lies the problem. DAlexan451: Her chiropractor (sp) had it done. DTRCN: Ins does not cover it and it is about $200-400 for results that may be invalid. . DAlexan451: Ok thanks DTRCN: Do you have a Dr that will work with you and uses or at least does not disagree with taking supplements. DAlexan451: Yes DTRCN: Ok, I will send you some sites to get some current info and if you take this with your desire to try the GTF Chromium supplement maybe he will consider it. DTRCN: it is basically non-toxic . DTRCN: SULFUR = S DTRCN: Sulfur is found in every tissue of the body. It is in all protein, skin-hair-nails DTRCN: FUNCTIONS: . DTRCN: 1) S is the main component of 3 amino acids. DTRCN: Amino Acids = the breakdown of protein in the body. DTRCN: 2) S is a component of Biotin and Thiamin two B vitamins DTRCN: 3) S is part of the hormone insulin and this makes it very important to diabetics DTRCN: The complete function list of Sulfur has not been established yet. . DTRCN: DEFICIENCY: Def. would not usually occur unless a person had a protein deficiency, or did not digest protein properly and that is possible with any type of digestive disorder. It can also happen to strict vegetarians. . DTRCN: There is no known Toxicity for Sulfur and there is no OHA or RDA. . DTRCN: any questions DAlexan451: No DTRCN: as you can see Marcia the minerals play a large role in diabetes/insulin control/production DAlexan451: I want to try the Brewers Yeast. DTRCN: that sounds like a good idea. DAlexan451: Does it have much of a taste? DTRCN: the smoothie is easy and bananas work great. DTRCN: yep so you will have to get used to it.......smells too. DAlexan451: Right now I'm in love with Mangos. DTRCN: hey that would be wonderful......i like them too. DTRCN: have you heard of Dr Weil DAlexan451: Yes-have one of his books. Seen him on Oprah DTRCN: Ok I am going to send you his web site he has some good info on Cr. DTRCN: Well if you have no more questions let's call it a night. </HTML>
