Via the “Orthomolecular Medicine News Service,” one pharmacist’s reflections on mainstream medicine’s stance toward nutritional aspects of healing

I’m a registered pharmacist. I am having a difficult time with my job. I sell people drugs that are supposed to correct their various health complaints. Some medicines work like they’re supposed to, but many don’t. Some categories of drugs work better than others. My concern is that the outcomes of treatment I observe are so unpredictable that I would often call the entire treatment a failure in too many situations.

No one understands the complexity of a human body more than a health care doctor. Early in professional school, eight of us dissected a human cadaver. I had my first remarkable epiphany about the human body in anatomy class. In words it went something like this, "How did all these moving parts fit into such a small space?"

We also studied how things work that only a microscope or an electron microscope could visualize. One subject touched on, with authority, was neurology. It's mostly about communication lines called nerves. In the spinal cord there are strings of fibers called "tracts" and at the ends of tiny nerve fibers there are various kinds of "receptors" that pick up different kinds of stimuli such as touch, pressure, hot and cold, taste, smell and numerous other physical sensations. What is only lightly touched on are reflexes.

We have all heard of reflexes. The best way to define a reflex is "a neurological phenomenon". When a doctor hits below your knee with a little rubber tomahawk and your lower leg jumps, that is a particular kind of reflex. You can't pick up a reflex and examine it. It is a phenomenon.

When you are born a doctor strokes the bottom of your foot to see if there is a jerk response in the foot. This is called the Babinski reflex.

There is a whole subject called reflexology. This mainly deals with the feet and ears. How effective it is, I can't tell you. I can tell you that the adjustment of a bone in the bottom of a foot can be a life changer for a hobbling person.

Chiropractors discovered thirty-four reflexes around the body that function like circuit breakers. Since chiropractors are on the fringes of orthodox medicine, you don't hear much about these reflexes from orthodox doctors or even from very many chiropractors.

These "circuit breakers" can affect many body functions directly. I have lowered people's high blood pressure twenty points in the space of a visit. Stressed people regularly leave the office feeling relaxed. Any organ can be helped, if the reflex is switched off, by turning the appropriate reflex on again. Muscle balance, by turning on improved detoxification, is reestablished by turning these reflexes back on.

Because we are adjusting the senior most powerful system of the body, the nervous system, remarkable change can occur fast. Muscle strength can be rejuvenated in single muscles in a few minutes. If an area needs nutrition or joint adjustment or "critter" elimination, these are different treatments. However, if a reflex is turned off no matter how much of this other treatment a person gets, he will never fully recover until this senior system is rehabilitated.

Now, what I have told you may be a bit beyond your creditability tolerance level, and that is fine.

Yes, I am sure you have at least one in need of being found.

There has been a lot of attention given lately to this vitamin and many people are starting to take high dosages and doctors are recommending routine testing for blood levels. Are these justified or are some people putting their health in danger by taking very high amounts and wasting money on blood testing? Is there a risk that high dosages will lead to calcification of various tissues in the body, including brain tissue? This article provides you with my honest and balanced opinion. Make sure you read at least half way down the page where I review the potential dangers of excessive dosage that many doctors may not be aware of.

A deficiency is basically a nutrient that your body does not have enough of to function properly.

What if you forgot to put enough oil in you car? Despite the fact that it was getting the air, gas, functioning spark plugs and good combustion, the car wouldn’t work properly. Sure the piston would go up and down and the car would move forward – just like normal. But soon the engine might run a little hot. Down in the engine different things might start happening. The rings around the piston that stopped oil from getting up into the combustion area might be giving way. The normal straight camshaft might start to bend a little. The engine just won’t work right. Perhaps the car will need a small repair, or maybe a major overhaul – or ignored the engine will just seize up and “die”.

It’s the same with your body – except that you can’t just buy another engine and repairs made to a damaged body might not put things back together again.

Let’s look at some of the many varied things that can happen when you don’t put the needed nutrients into the body, and wind up with a deficiency.

Gingivitis is created when plague (sticky deposits of bacteria, mucus and food particles) adheres to the teeth, hardens and irritates the gum. The accumulation causes the gums to become infected and swollen. As the gums swell, pockets form between the gums and the teeth and act as a trap for more plague. Irritated gums bleed and eventually start to recede.

This irritation can be fought by introducing Vitamin C, which fights the formation of plaque. Now gingivitis, untreated, can progress to periodontal disease, which means loose teeth and false teeth. Seems like it would be easier just to get enough C. C would have fought the formation of plaque to begin with.

Does that sound too easy? Remember in the fast food lifestyle that we live in, we need a Vitamin C to fight the many problems in that lifestyle – processed foods, polluted air, etc. You need enough so that your gums get enough.

Vitamin B12 comes from meat, eggs, fish and milk, but not everyone eats these and they do not eat enough to fight the depletion that happens from day to day living. Alcohol, coffee, tobacco to name a few can also deplete the body of vitamin B12.

What happens when you have a deficiency of Vitamin B12? It can bring about nerve degeneration. Vitamin B12 supports the sheathing that protects nerve cells. Damage to the nerve sheathing can produce numbness, tingling and the pain. It’s called neuropathy. Neuropathy can be a side effect of cancer treatments, certain medications, toxins, diabetes, and many other things. And the funny part about it is that all reasons one can get neuropathy could have been prevented in the first place with the proper nutrients.

We have all heard the problems from someone smoking, but even if you smoke, you can still take vitamins to compensate for the depletion of vitamins that it causes.

There are a lot of problems that deficiency causes. One of the reasons for the website is to help you understand those deficiencies and allow you to fix nutritional deficiencies and build good health.

Remember when you build good health, disease tends to fade away.

Millions of people suffer from sleeplessness on a regular basis. Tossing and turning without getting a restful night's sleep, can be very hard on a person.

*************************

"For the last several years, I have had trouble falling asleep and not only that I would toss and turn many times. I required about 7-8 hours to function and I was only getting maybe a broken 5 hours.

"I have a high metabolism so many nights I could not fall asleep until about 2am. I would end up watching a movie, browsing the TV channels or the Internet just to pass the time until my body would go to sleep.

"This caused me to be considerably tired during the week and I would end up drinking at least 2 cups of coffee during the day so that I could function.

"When I saw your sleep product, I decided to give it a try.

"The first time I took it, I was asleep in 35 minutes. The second time, I was asleep in 30 minutes and the third time, about 25 minutes. I have now take it a dozen times in the last month and each time, I fall asleep in under 35 minutes. I have also not woken up as much during the night.

"Thank you for the excellent product!"
