How To Destroy Confidence In Vitamins When You Do Not Have The Facts

(OMNS, January 11, 2010) “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 wish to assure you, 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 co enzyme Q10 for heart disease; and we have kept general practitioners from prescribing vitamin C for viral illnesses.

“Yes, it has really been a triumphant half-century. How did we do it? It is really quite easy. Here is a summary for those of you that may have missed the last WHOPPER meeting.

Clinical practice guidelines are increasing in number. Unfortunately,
when scientific evidence is uncertain, limited, or evolving, as is often
the case, conflict often arises between guideline committees and
practicing physicians, who bear the direct responsibility for the care of
individual patients. The 2006 Infectious Diseases Society of America
guidelines for Lyme disease, which have limited scientific support,
could, if implemented, limit the clinical discretion of treating physicians
and the treatment options available to patients

Introduction

Clinical practice guidelines are now ubiquitous throughout the
United States. The National Guidelines Clearing House, under the
category “diseases,” currently lists 2,126 separate guidelines on its
web site. Clinical guidelines are intended to assist physicians in
patient care by clearly communicating the results of the guideline
committees’ evaluation of available therapeutic options. However,
the processes by which individual guidelines are constructed may be
less clear, leading to disagreements between the issuing committee
and the physicians who treat patients-physicians who may well be
as experienced and knowledgeable as the guideline committee. Continued

Linda’s Comment:  It amazes me that in the following publications do we find any suggestions about reducing our total body burden of pathogens and toxins.  It is a MUST that Lymies begin to reduce their total body burden of pathogens and toxins in order to begin addressing Lyme, Lyme Arthritis, Arthritis, and other chronic illness we see with Lyme patients.  Some people choose antibiotics…..I personally never went near antibiotics.  My whole detox and healing program was using anti-microbials, alternative medicine, alternative modalities, NO GMO foods, NO sugars, NO fast foods, NO soda’s, NO caffeine, NO coffee and I ate and still do eat organic foods.  I also have used a PhotonGenie since 2001 and use it daily.  I like it better than Rife, as I don’t have to worry about settings, I just turn it on and go.  I even sleep in mine.  The critters we Lymies fight LOVE heavy metals and especially GMO foods.  
 
There are also some foods that you don’t want to eat if you are having symptoms of Arthritis, however, it is more important to get rid of the GMO, sugars, coffee and soda’s to reduce the inflammation and pain.  The great thing about the fight program is you are dissolving biofilms and reducing inflammation on a daily basis.  So much of our pain comes from inflammation. 
 
I of course use many more things with my lifelong daily detox protocol.  If you can get IV chelation and do weekly colonics you can move things along faster.  However, you can start the program one step at a time and move at your own pace.  This is one protocol that must be done as suggested to get the full benefit of wellness.  The first three months are your toughest, but after that it is a breeze.  Yes, ever so often you have a day or two like you did when you first started, but I tell folks, it is like peeling an onion.  As you reach a new level you will have a couple of days where you keep your bathroom close.  At the end of 60 to 90 days and you begin to feel your life coming back to you, you will be very pleased that you began this journey.  Feel free to ask questions and I will share my journey with you.  Just remember JUST SAY NO TO GMO!!

Linda’s comment:  FINALLY, they are acknowledging that Almonds may boost your immune function and reduce inflammation.  The alternative arena has known this for years.  Almond milk is delicious.  Buddy Butter, which is an Almond butter that tastes like Jiff peanut butter.
