Vitamins Against Disease
Most of what we do to our bodies, for better of worse, we do every day by the nutritional and other lifestyle choices we make. Even the effects of Down Syndrome, often seen as a prime example of an utterly and exclusively genetic affliction, can to a surprisingly large extent be overcome with huge doses of supplements.
Failed disease-care systems pale and fade when examined under the light of nutrition research and clinical proof. We do not need "further study" on mineral and vitamin therapy. The work has already been done, the results are in print, and the public is cheerfully but unhealthfully ignorant. How did we miss it?
If there is one truth about clinical nutrition research, it is that it is certainly not self evident. Frederick Robert Klenner (1949, 1971), William J. McCormick (1946, 1947, 1952, 1953, 1954, 1957, 1962), Irwin Stone (1972), and later Linus Pauling (1976, 1986) all reviewed the literature on vitamin C, came to the same conclusions about its importance as a therapeutic agent, and were summarily ignored. I have often said to both practitioners and students that if stablished medical and nutritional authority won't listen to their own, they certainly won't jump to hear you.
Considering the paucity of interest (and funding) from the medical establishment, it is quite remarkable how much good nutrition research has been done, and how almost all of it points to three embarrassingly simple conclusions:
- The average American's diet is truly awful, being superabundant in chemicals, calories and protein and very deficient in fiber and diverse vitamins and minerals.
- Even modest dietary revision, plus increases in vitamin and mineralintake, regularly result in both disease prevention and clinical cure.
- Most citizens, and their doctors, are vaguely aware of item 1, dispute item 2, and are not concerned enough to act on either.
Don't be one of them. Check into your options. Research and read for yourself. The Internet is our personal portal into world's archives. It is mostly a matter of putting in the time, and from what I've seen of this fall's TV schedule, you should have plenty of that.
