"Autistic
Boy" With Higher IQ Than Einstein Discovers His Gift After Removal
From State-Run Therapy
In
yet another example of how an out-of-control Goliath state system can
cause more harm than good, a teenage boy who was diagnosed with autism
at a young age has risen to stellar heights after quitting the special
ed system with the help of his concerned mother.

Boy Story
Why
are foods and supplements that are made for Children Packed with
Hazardous Chemicals, Hidden Aspartame and GMOs?
The
documentary Killer at Large investigates the topic of obesity, a problem
of truly epic proportions where misinformation is a major driver of its
skyward trend
Conventional
diet and health recommendations are grossly flawed. Obesity and related
health problems are directly attributable to improper diet—a diet too
high in carbs and poor-quality proteins, and too low in healthy fats
Calorie
counting has been firmly debunked by science. It is FAR more important
to look at the source of the calories than counting them. You get fat
because you eat the wrong kind of calories
First
and foremost, a healthy diet is based on fresh whole, preferably organic
foods, and foods that have been minimally processed

Myths and Legends - Are your vitamins doing you any good?
There are many myths and misconceptions that have been floating around
for years and years. People
unknowingly spread this false information because they’ve heard others
saying the same thing. They
have heard it in commercials and in other advertisements. It really get
confusing because sometimes the so-called authorities are the ones
spreading these untruths. McVitamins
is issuing a health issue “Health Myths and Legends” to help you
understand.
Let’s
clean up the myths.
Myth
#1 – Synthetic Vitamins will make you healthy
In
an effort to protect themselves and their families from frightening and
serious health problems, people are changing their diets and are taking
herbs and supplements. Why
do they need vitamin supplements? Due
to the depletion and demineralization of topsoil, the contaminations of
produce from pesticides, herbicides and fungicides, the over processing,
enriching and preservation – foods just don’t have the same
nutritional value they once had. To
get the same amount of iron that was available to Popeye in one can of
spinach, today he would have to consume 65 cans. An
orange that once contained 50 mg of natural Vitamin C complex in 1950,
now contains 5 mg.
We’ve
all have gotten used to reading literature proclaiming the benefits of
vitamins, deciding what is wrong with us and heading to the health food
store to buy what we’ve decided we need We
often end up buying all kinds of supplements - but are we any healthier? People
are still fatigued, still overweight, still fighting the cholesterol
battle, etc. etc. etc.
The
body runs on vitamins, minerals, nutrients and oxygen just like your car
runs on gas, water and oxygen. But what happens if you
put the wrong gas, or worse some other liquid, into your car? Not
only will it not work, it may damage the engine. The
same thing can happen when you put the wrong vitamins in your body.
We
can get healthier if we understand what most vitamins today really are
– they’re synthetic. Let’s
talk about synthetic vitamins
What
are synthetic vitamins made of? Let’s
define some words:
Natural: These
are vitamins not tapered with and are the way they are in nature, not
tapered with in any way that might change their molecular structure or
biochemical actions. This
can also be called whole food supplements.
Crystalline –
these are vitamins originally from food but treated with heat, caustic,
high-powered solvents (such a s benzene or toluene) chemicals, and
distillations to reduce them to a specific vitamin.
Synthetic –
These are vitamins made in a laboratory that are chemically
reconstructed versions of the crystalline vitamins from other known
sources. Thiamine mononitrate (a synthetic vitamin labeled as B1), is
made from coal. It’s
not “organic” just because it has carbon in its molecular structure.
One
of the most perilous deceptions is the passing off of these phony,
synthetic vitamins and saying that the body does not know the
difference. In
the long run, we will compound our health problems by taking them.
Keep
in mind that synthetic vitamins are not the vitamin available in foods,
but synthesized (made in a laboratory) fractions (parts) of a vitamin
complex, The analogy here is essentially the same as an automobile
salesman handing you a wheel from a car and telling you the wheel is an
automobile.
In
an example we look at vitamin C. You
can buy “vitamin C” that is called
”Ascorbic Acid”. Ascorbic
acid is only one small part of the vitamin C complex. Vitamin
C has enzymes, co-enzymes, antioxidants, trace elements, activators, and
other unknown factors that enable the vitamin to go into the biochemical
operation.
In
turn, the human physiology cannot properly utilize these synthetic
fractions in the way that natural complexes work in the body and are
essential to tissue repair and the sustenance of life.
When
a person starts taking a fraction of a vitamin – and has sufficient
reserves in his body of all the other components of the vitamin to
recombine and process, the person may experience some improvement for a
time. However
when those reserves are drained, the vitamin will no longer benefit the
person. Thus,
a person may feel an increase in energy for a short period of time, but
if taken for an extended period of time, the effects will reverse.
When
vitamins were first discovered, they were discovered in foods. When
foods were studied a lot was learned. Studies
that show that vitamins work use a food source nutrient. In
studies showing that vitamins don’t work, a synthetic was always used.
Additionally,
the body actually has to recognize what you are putting into your body
as food. Like
the finicky cat, that looks at some new food offered it and says “what
is that?” You’re
body does the same thing. It
doesn’t recognize the synthetic vitamins and often just sends it right
back out of the body.
A
synthetic vitamin fraction can only be utilized for a drug or
pharmacological effect. The effect of a drug is palliative -
meaning a making or covering over of symptoms - it isn't curative.
The disease process remains unchanged or progressively gets worse for
lack of proper attention.
What
is needed is vitamins that come from whole food, which comes along with
all the co-factors present when you eat a food.
Tissue
and cell repair, or replacement, require the following to restore the
approximately 24 billion cells that break down each day in the human
body.
· A
constant, uninterrupted nerve impulse supply
· A
constant, uninterrupted blood supply
· All
of the VITAMINS in a natural, complex form.
· All
of the minerals in an organic form in most instances
· All
of the trace elements essential to metabolism
· All
of the enzymes, coenzymes, and apoenzymes
· All
of the 22 or more amino acids from protein hydrolysis
· A
discontinuance of organic or inorganic poisons either inhaled or
ingested in bad air, bad food and/or bad water.
This
doesn’t happen using fractionated vitamins.
What
is a natural vitamin or supplement? It
is a whole food supplement, made from food, not made in the laboratory.
What
to expect when taking Natural vitamins - Whole Food Vitamins
Definition:
Whole food vitamins –
vitamin supplements made from food and not synthetics made in the
laboratory.
Most
brands of supplements available today are made from synthetics These are
chemical compounds that have been manufactured in a laboratory to copy
the molecular structure of natural vitamins. Your body normally gets
nutrients from food. Thus
obtaining your vitamins from whole food supplements, (real food) will
allow the body to actually use the nutrients in the supplement.
There
are two needs for supplements. One is to take nutrients that your
body needs on a daily basis that you probably don't get in the food you
eat. With today's processed foods which often don't have the
all the nutrients you need, it is important to supplement your diet with
these nutrients so your body functions properly.
The
second use is to provide the body with the specific nutrients it needs
to repair or address the cause of a body problem. Deficiencies in
essential nutrients can create all sorts of disease.
What
to expect when you take whole food nutrients?
Will
it be like a drug that forces the body to do something, but which has
side effects because it is foreign to the body? No.
Reducing or reversing damage can take time as your body has to go
through the process of repairing the cells.
How
does that work?
You
are constantly making new cells to replace old cells. Old cells
might have been made with insufficient nutrients, well now that you give
the body the right nutrients, you will get new healthy cells.
For example, it is well known that a broken bone heals in about 6 weeks. During
that time, the area of the break will continue to hurt on and off even
as it gets better. You
may also be aware that if you give your body the nutrients it needs to
fix broken bones, the healing will be quicker and you will have less
pain.
So,
when you start taking supplements, you may not feel a difference
immediately. It takes time for the cells to rebuild and any change or
for you to relief
from your symptoms. But
it tells
you that progress is being made and it will continue to get better.
Generally, you will notice a change in the first couple of weeks, but
everyone is different.
An example of this is taking supplements for neuropathy. The
nerves are the most sensitive nerves in the body. When they
are damaged they can create a great deal of pain, numbness, and if a
motor nerve is damaged the muscles will effect a person's
coordination.. If you want to just cover up the pain, you
can take a drug or a topical cream, but if you want lasting relief, you
want to give the body the nutrients it needs to repair any damage.
It make take some time though. Each person has their own genetic
makeup and it can take different amounts of time for this problem to be
reversed.
This is important to know. I’ve known a number of people who gave up
taking needed nutrients because they didn’t get quick results thus
robbing themselves of the relief that they seek.
Any condition probably took years to create, and although it won't take
the same amount of time to fix, give your body some time before you give
up on nutritional healing.
Of
course, I've known some people who take the needed nutrients and get
very quick results. That can always be the case, but if it takes
longer, just know that you will be a healthier person by continuing to
give your body what it needs.
