Vitamins and Teenagers: A Personal Statement
by Stephen H. Brown, PhD

(OMNS, Jan 26, 2010) In our house, vitamin supplements sit on the counter in open bowls like nuts, dried fruits, or jelly beans.

Colds, respiratory illnesses, intestinal viruses, mono, and other infectious diseases are constantly present in American schools.

There can be no question that Vitamin D deficiency is a major factor that must be addressed whenever children are failing to thrive!
Do not fail to read Dr. Cannell’s comments about this case report at the bottom of this report - this is NOT JUST ABOUT AUTISM – this applies to everyone. How much Vitamin D do we need to get levels up in the ideal range?

Dear Reader,

You don’t hear much about multiple sclerosis — mostly because it’s a disease that continues to stump doctors and researchers. While there are a handful of treatments that can alleviate some of the symptoms, there’s no cure for it. But last month, researchers from the UK and Canada did even better. They made a discovery that may prevent it from occurring in the first place. Continued

What do we have to lose?
Read the letters and reports below and decide for yourselves.

You can now keep up to date on H1N1 from the leading
science publications. They are free and you can download the articles.

Be the expert on all this and know the facts, as we educate our patients about the facts, which will not be popular with many so called experts who are out to push their own agenda. Go to this link and check again every 2 weeks, as it will be constantly updated. http://www.thelancet.com/H1N1-flu

vaccines they have purchased sight unseen!!
