HEALTH CONCEPTS - HEALTHY DIET

Health Benefits of a Healthv Diet

Weight lossDecreased risk of diabetesDecreased risk of hearth diseaseDecreased risk of almost all cancersDecreased risk of high blood pressureLower cholesterol levelsEnhanced immune systemlncreased sensitivity to insulinlncreased energy and ability to concentrate

What we eat has an enormous affect on our overall health. Thousands of studies support the ideathat diet is highly conelated with the risk of developing various chronic degenerative diseases. Foodis our greatest drug. lt can either be used incorrectly and cause g.eat problems or when usedconectly, will protect our health.

Recent Studies have shown that by eating a healthy diet and exercising moderately lve cansignificantly reduce the risk of developing diabetes, hearth disease, cancer, and host of otherchronic degenerative diseases. When you add cellular nutrition to this healthy diet and modestexercise program, you give yourself the absolute best chance of protecting your health or regainingyour health lf you have already Iost it. The diet I recommend will take into consideration all oi th6ediseases. lf you already are suffering from one of these chronia degenerative diseases, it will offeryou the best of hope or regalning your health.

CARBOHYDRATESCarbohydrates are simply long chains of gugars that are released at various rates in our bodies.These include food like fruits, vegetablF, grains and sugars. lt has been assumed for the pasl onehundred years that the more simple the sugar, i.e. table sugar, candy or soda pop one consumes,the faster the sugar is absorbed into the blood stream and the quicker one's blood sugar rises. Thishas given rise to the concept of simple sugars versus complex sugars (having long sugar chains).Medical research has since shown us that this theory was totally wrong. ln the past 20 years,medical evidence now suggests the most important consideration is the glycemic index. Few of usrealize that highly processed carbohydrates like white bread, white flour, rice and pasta also releasetheir sugars faster that table sugar. These foods are considered high-glycemic carbohydrates,because they release their sugars very quickly into our blood stream.

On the other hand, carbohydrates such as; cauliflower, beans, asparagus, apples, oranges, andgrapes release their sugars more slowly, thus keeping blood sugars from spiking. These areconsidered low-glycemic carbohydrates. These carbohydrates also contain high amounts of fiber-the indigestible portion of our food.

FiberFiber passes through the gastrointestinal tract without being absorbed, allowing not only ournutrients to be absorbed at a much slower pace, but also helping to eliminate toxins as it cleansesthe colon. An incteased amount of fib€r is very important in our overall diet and can be found infruits, vegetables and whole gralns.

I recommend between 35 & 50 grams of fiber each day. Most Americans only consume I to 10grams of fiber each day and if we have a bowel movement every other day, we feel like heroes. Our.paradigm is limited. Perhaps a broader worldview would prove enlightening.

Dr. Burkitt, a surgeon, famous for the disease, "Burkitt's Lymphoma, ' practice in Africa for over 20years. While in Africa, he did not see a single case of colon canaer, diverticulitis, hemorrhoids, gallbladder disease, or even appendicitis among the native population. He attributed this remarkablefinding to the fact that his native African patients consumed 60 to 70 grams of fiber per day and

typically had three to live bowel movements every day. When Dr. Burkitt returned to the unitedStates, he spent most of histime promoting the health benefits oi a high fiber diet.

Constipation is a $3 billion business in the |Jnited States alone. Patients in the u.S. lhink they areheroes when they have a bowel movement every other day. When I refer a patient to thegastroenterologist, I can count on the fact ihat he or she will rccommend my patient to eat morefiber. The fiber in low-glycemic carbohydrates provid6 most ofthis necEsary fiber, however, manyof us need to supplement our diet with additional fiber in order to obtain the 35 to 50 grams neededeach day. I guaranlee the tremendous health benefits reaped by making this intentional effort willprove worthwhile.

SuoarsGlucose (the basic sugar that is used by the body and that all carbohydrates eventually become inthe body) is extremely easy for the body to absorb and in turn raises blood sugar rapidly The rate atwhich the blood sugar increas6 (the glycemic index) is rated at 100. Fructose (which is found in

fruit and honey), on the other hand, is more difficult for the body to absorb and is thereforeconsidered low-glycernic with an idCex of 23. White table sugar has a glycemic index of 65 becauseit is a disacchaiide (made up of two molecules: on molecule of glucose and one molecule offructose).

Surprising to many, lvheat and white bread actually have a very high glycemic index (even higherthan tabl; sugar) because of its physical structure. The fine particle size and the exploded skuctlrecaused by th; leavening action ofthe yeast makes the surface of wheat starch extremely accessible

to digestive enzymes. They actually are worse for our bodies than table sugar because of howquickly their absorption rais6 blood sugar. Rice cak6, one of our favo te diet foods, have one ofthe highest glycemic indexes of any food.

The average dietitian does not utilize that glycemic index, which was introduced in the early 80'showever, a recent study in lhe Joumal ol Ameican Medical Associalion points out the potential

serious outcomes of America's and the industrialized nation's tremendous use of high-glycemiafoods. Problems like hypertension, obesity, elevated cholesterol and triglycerides, heart attacks,

strokes, and diabetes are primarily related to our diet.

Dr. Walterwillet, head of nutrition and preventive medicine at Harvard, in his book, Eat, Dink, andbe Hea,fry (Simon and Schuster, 2001) believes white bread, white flours, pasta, rice , and potatoes

should be placed at the top of the food pyramid with sweets and snacks. ln turn, I encourage mypatients to eat less bread (or to choose heavy multigrain, stone-ground brands) and morecarbohydrates high in flber. By simply eating more whole foods. fruits and vegetables, you are notonly going to get the good fiber but also these foods are primarily low glycemic. Please read thediscussion on glycemic index to better understand this concept and learn why glycemic load is alsgimportant.

Low - glycemic carbohyd.ates need to be balanced with good proteins and fats. When protein andfat are combined with low{lycemic carbohydrates during a meal, the absorption of sugar is slowedand the release of glucagons (his hormone is the opposite of insulin) is stimulated. All of ihe badmetabolic changes that occur wiih elevated blood levels of insulin (high blood pressure elevat€dtriglycerides, lower HDL cholesterol, central obesity) are actually reversed by increasing the levelsof glucagons.

ProteinProtein has been malbned over the years due to the tremendous focus on low-fat diets. Since mostofthe'bad" fats are contained in proteins, we have thrown the protein out with the fat. People havebeen led to believe that a high-carbohydrate, low-fat diet is the healthiest diet we can eat. Howeyer,amino acids only found in p.oteins are essential for all of our body's functions, especially ourimmune system. We must choose good protein sources.

3

V€getable proteins are the very best proteins we can eat; the greatest advantage of plant proteinbeing in the fact that it contains less environmental toxins and chemicals than animal protein.Because of the highly commercialized productlon of animal protein, it now contains significan ygreater amounts of hormones, antibiotics and toxins.

Our bodies require 10 essential amino acids, and vegetable protein is sometimes criticized for notbling complete. I don't find any problem with this because you can easily mix and combine manydifferent plant Proteins. Some examples are soy protein, nuts, legumes, and certain whole grains.

Cold-water fish offers the next best source of protein. Cold-water fish, like salmon, mackerel,sardin6, and tuna not only gives you a good source of protein but also a needed sources ofomega-3 essential fatty acids, v,/rich I will discuss more under fats. Again, be alyare of toxins thesefish may contain because of industrial pollution of our waters. Mercury poisoning as well as manyother toxins are increasing in all flsh species. Shellfish and larger saltwater fish are the worsa.Knowing the source of lhe fish is helpfur.

Fowl are the next best source of protein. Chicken and turkey are the be€t because the fataccumulates on the outside of the meat rather than on the inside. Since most toxins found in th6eanimals accumulate in the fat. You can easily avoid them by removing lhe skin and fat from themeat leaving an excellent source of protein. Organically grown fowl is a great choice if you have itavailable.

Animal products are less desirable sources of protein due to high levels of saturated fat marbledinside red meat. I encourage my patients to keep their consumption of red meat to a minimum,knowing that some of us simply like to have a good steak once in a lrhile. I recommend for thosepatients who eat red meat to choose the leanest cut they can get. Remember, no one needs to eatthe z4-ounce cut. Eat small, fine cuts of steak along with tasty low-glycemic vegetabtes. you doneed to avoid meats like bacon, hot dogs, salami, and iunchm€ats. Organ meats (liver, brain andkidney) should also be avoided due to high toxin concentrations.

Dairy products are the least desirable protein source because they have the highest concentrationof saturated fats. Milk, eggs, cheese, butter, and buttemilk are ranked among some of theunhealthiest foods that we eat. The problem is that they make our recipes taste so good. you canmarkedly improve your diet by eating low-fat or non-fat milk and cheese. lf you eat eggs, considereating more egg whites than egg yolks. Though range fed chickens produce eggs that containhelpful omega-3-fatty acids, we will all be much healthier by keeping the total amount of saturatedfat to a minimum.

FATSProteins have been given a bad rap, but not nearly as much as fats. The consumption of fats in ourdiet has certainly been the talk of this past half-century. Still, people are as confused about fatstoday as they were a generation ago. ln fact, in many ways they are even more confused. Thebottom line is that our bodies need fat to thrive and live healthy. Fat is needed fot many aspects ofthe cell but especially in the formation of the cell memb.ane. Fat is also needed for the production ofmany of our hormones, natural anti-inflanmatory, and basic energy needs. Not only must wedecipher between good and bad fats, but also we need to know how and when to consume whatkind of fats for good health.

SATURATED FATSSaturated fats come primarily from animal fat and dairy products. These are the worst fats that wecan consume. These saturated fats increase total cholesterol and LDL or .bad' cholGterol andlower HDL or'good" cholesterol. Most Americans and people in the industrialized nations consumethe majority of their fats in the form of saturated fats. Numerous studies reveal that the actualconsumption of cholesterol does little to increase our cholesterol levels; however, the consumptionof saturated fats and high-glycemic carbohydrates play a large part in elevating cholesterol andtriglyceride levels. Most nutritionist now reatize that it is not simply the fact in our diet causing

'rproblems; but rather, the types of fats \,ve are consuming.

POLYUNSATURATED FATSIn the 1950's polyunsaturated fats became popular as a "healthy" substitute for saturated fats. Forexample, vegetable oils were made into margarine as a substitute for butter. Vegetable oils primarilycontain vvhat is known as pglyunsaturated fats. These fats do in fact lower LDL or.bad" cholesterol,but the problem is that they also lower HDL or "good' Cholesterol. polyunsaturated fats are alsovulnerable to oxidation and easily transiorm into 'trans-fatty acids', which are rancid fats. These fatsmake poor building blocks for our cell membranG and are anything but healthy. Many vegetableoils are now subjected to a process called partial hydrogenation. The reason food manufactures goto the trouble of this process is to improve taste, spread ability, pleasurable sensation in the mouth,and to extend shelf life. lt has nothing to do with making a "healthy' atternative.

To hydrogenate oils, manufactures heat the oils to high temperatures under pressure with hydrogengas. This process is stopped before it is completed or all the fals would become saturated.However, this abbreviated process provides a mixture of fats-saturated. polyunsaturated, with ahigh concentration of trans-fatty acids. When you look at food tabels you will be amazed how manyprocessed foods are made of partially hydrogenated fat. The medical evidence is growing that thesepartially hydrogenated fals or \lvhat is becoming known as rancid fats are probably the worst tats youcan eat. I recommend avoiding these kinds of fats alltogether.

MONOSATURATED FATSThese fats are found in many of out vegetablG, nuts and certain vegetable oils. These areconsidered healthy fats because they actually help lower total cholesterol and LDL Choleslerol whitemaintaining HDL Cholesterol levels. They are found in foods like cashews, almonds, avocados,olive oil, and pistachio nuts. Virgin olive oil is a very good source ol these types of fats. Canota andpeanul oils are also high in these types of fat. Even though these fats do not contain the essentialfatty acids, they appear to be much healthier and in some ways protective against hearth disease.You must however be careful not to heat these oils because they can become rancid fats veryeasily. lf you do use them in your cooking, you need to use very low heat and use a high qualityvirgin olive oil.

Essential Fats: Omeoa-3 and Omeqa -6 Essential Fattv AcidsThese essential fats are just that-essential. Our body cannot make them, so we need to get themfrom our diet. They are critical in the production of hormonG called progtaglandins, which controlinflammation, cell groMh and differentiation, blood clotting, and key aspects of our jmmune system.We get plenty of omega6 fatty acids in the Western diet, howeveri atnost a of us are deficient inthe omega-3 fatty acids.

Omega-6 fatty acids produce hormones (prostaglandins) that promote inflammation, cell growth,and blood clotting. Omega-3 fatty acids produce hormones (prostaglandins) with just the oppositeaffect. ln the event that you are injured, you need to have a good inflammatory response to bringabout quicker healing-the inflammatory response bings blood and immune cells to the woundeaarea. However, if you have not been hurt, an inflammatory response can damage tissue and causemajor problems, i.e. asthmas, arthritis, and hearth disease. Therefore, it ia critical that theseessential fats are consumed in a balanced fashion so that lhe hormones they prodube will alsooccur in balance. lf th6e prostaglandins are ngt kept in balance they can cause serious healthproblems such as cancet, hearlh disease, inflammatory diseases, and autoimmune diseases.

Omega-6 fatty acids are found in meats, margarines, peanuts, poultry, and many of our processedfoods. Omega3 iatty acids are found in cold-water fish, flaxseed, soybeans, org,nic eggs, walnuts,and oils made from flaxseed, vralnuts, and soybeans. lt is most beneliciaa to conaume theseessential fats in a ratio of 2 omega-6 fatty acids to I omega-3 fatty acid (2:1 ration). However,Americans cgnsume an Gtimated ratio of 20:1 and in some aases, 40:1 omega-6fatty acids toomega-3fatty acids. ls it any wonder we are in a heafth crisis?

It is imperative that you make a concerted effort to consume foods high in omega-3 fatty acids inorder to balance out these iwo essentiat fats. Eating adequate quantities ofthe omega-3 fatty

acids ryfll actually lower your total cholFterol and LDL cholesterol Most people simply need tosupplement their diet with cold-pressed flax seed, sunllower, pumpkin seed oils or flsh oil

I realize most people will eat saturated fats and at times even padially hydrogenated fats Still' it isimportant to get the maiority of your fats from essential fafty acids and monosaturated fats Manyresearchers iow argue that fat is not the problem, rather the types of fats we are consuming is themajor contributor to elevated cholesterol levels.

COMBINING CARBOHYDRATES. PROTEINS AND FATS

It is criticat that you have a portion of carbohydrate, protein, and fat with each meal or snack Every

time we eat, we need to be sure that we are taking in good nutrition and lhat we are not going to be

spiking our blood sugar. We need to eat for hormonal control and not calorie control lnsulin is our

"storagd hormone and most ofus do not want to store any more falthan we already have.

Glucagons, on the other hand, actually utilize fat as an energy source. I explain to my patients that

are ov'erweight that this lifestyle of eting actually has a side effect of fat loss lf you don't need tolose any weight, then you wonl on this diet. You simply iust feel better and become healthier'

I believed that around 40 to 50% of our calories should come from low{lycemic carbohydrates, 25

to 30% of our calories from good protein, and 25 to 30 % of our caloriG should come from good fat

ih"r" "r"

t"ny different Aios,.which will accomplish this same overall goal. Barry Sears in his

book, The Zoni, recommends the 4/30/30(z10% carbohydrates, 30% protein, and 30% fat) and

other diets recommend 500,6 carbohydrates, 30% protein, and 20% fat.

All of these diets accomplish the same desired hormonal results, which is necessary for a healthy

lifestyle. Always avoid u;healthy weight loss diets that are out of balance such as ihe Atkins' Diet

i"it piot"in "ni

t"t "itt

no carboiydrales) or Dr. omish,s Diet (alt carbohy.dratF with very little to no

iat). The desired goal is to keep insulin and glucagon levels within a healthy zone The body needs

boih to maintain h;alth and to assure that your cells are getting proper nutrients'

A good ratio is combining 20 grams of low-glycemic carbohydrate'. 10 to 12 grams of good protein'

an-d 4 to 6 grams of good fat. You can eat as rnuch as you want: however' be,sure the ratios stay

the same 14b grams of carbohydrates, 24 grams of protein, and I to 10 grams of fat)

You should eat five to six small meals each day. Eat breaKast within one hour of awakening and a

meal or snack every four hours throughout the day to keep your metabolism going and blood sugars

stable. I find weighiilg food is not necessary, although reading nutritional labels is essential'

I teach my patients to not get caught up in anything too complicaied like weighing foods simply use

your hand is a guide. Tht palm of the hand (circumference and thickness) = I protein serving (red

;neat-use % th; palm of ybw hand). 1 fist (1 % cups) = fruit serving (carbohydrate) 2lists (2-4

cups) = vegetable serving (carbohydrate) Tip otthe thumb (1tsp ) = 1 fat serving

A typical meal should contain tv',/o serving of carbohydrates, one serving of protein, and one serving

ot iit. lt your body frame is large, you may need double this amount' still the balance of

carbohydrites, fats and proteins must be maintained The actual amount that you consume will

depend' on your body size and whether this is a main meal or snack. Remember the key is to keep

portions balanced even when eating snacks.

HERE ARE SOME PRINCIPLES TO HELP YOU ENJOY FOOD AND KEEPYOU ON TRACK:

Be careful not to take in too many high-glycemic carbohydrates with any particular meal especially

when eating out. Donl eat bread, potatoes and dessert all at the same meal. ln fact, recent

rGearch reveals it would be best to avoid high-glycemic foods alllogether.

6

> Be creative with your snacks and be sure that they contain the right balance of goodcarbohydrates, good fat, and good protein.

> Always have healthy snacks readily available. lf you don'i you will eat whatever is aroundwhen you get hungry.

> Purchased lean bars, balance bars, and lean drinks, which already have the proper balanceand have them readily available.

> You will tend to have some vvithdrawal from a high carbohydrate diet. However, once youbecome consistent with this djet you will feel much better with a marked increase in energy.

HEALTH CONCEPTS.HEALTHY EXERCISE PROGRAM

Health Benefits of a Modest Exercise Proqram

> Weight loss> Lawer blood pressure> Stronger bones and decreased risk of osteoporosis> Lower cholesterol levels> Elevated levels of "good" HDL cholesterol> Decreased levels of "bad' LDL cholesterol> Decreased levels ofkiglyceridG *- the other fat in the blood> lncreased strength and coordination which ieads to decrease risk of falls> lmproved sensitivity to insulin> Enhanced immune system> Overall increased in the sense of well-being

(The Surgeon ceneral of the United States issued a statement in the early 1980,s listing all thesemajor health beneflts that result from having a mod6t exercise program)

Everyone is aware that moderate, aonsistent exercise is essential to a healthy lifestyle. But howmany Americans put this good knowledge to use?

The best type and duration of exercise is always a continual debate among exercise gurus.However, as a physician, I have a different attitude about how one should approach devetoping anexercise program.

> lt is more imporlant to exercise consistently than to worry about how to exercise. Anyexercise program is better than none.

> Choose an exercise program in which you can remain consistent. You need to enjoy as muchas possible the exercise program so you will stay with it.

> Schedule workouts instead of trying to work an exerciEe program into your existing schedule> lt is very important that you not hurt yourself when starting an exercise program. Don'toverdue it, most of us have not been in good shape for years, if ever.> Start slowly and gradually increase the length and intensity of your workouts. lt is not a race.Your strength and endurance will increase.

> lf my patients have any joint or musculoskeletal problems, I have them see a physicaltherapist who can guide their exercise program and help protect them form injury.> lf you have any risk of coronary artery disease or are over zl0, you need to see your physicianand gbtain an exercise stress test by a cardlologist before beginning any exercise program.

BENEFITS OF STRENGTH/RESISTANCE TRAINING

The benefits of aerobic exercise have been well publicized over lhe last several decades. But manypeople still react negatively to strength or resistance training, thinking only of bodybuildino oltraining just for athletes. What is not widely known is the positive fitness and health benefits ofstrength or resistance training for ordinary adults of allages.

ln a welldesigned program, resistance training can provide increased stress to the long bones ofthe upper extremities, the spine, pelvis and ribs. This can produce positive results for ihose whomay have, or who are prone to osteoporosis

Vvhen josing weight many are not concerned whether they lose muscle mass along with the fatmass; they justr,yant to '1ose weight.,' Resistance lraining can prevent the loss of muscie maqs whileaiding in your fat loss effort. Since muscle is the furnace that burns the fuel (glucose), the moremuscle mass that you have, the easier it is to maintain your optimat body weight imass).

Exercise, including strength training, helps to make the body more sensitive to its natural insulin notonly during, but following exercise s6sjons. This is a great benefit to those who have diabetismellitus or tor those who want to avoid becoming diabetic.

It w"s once believed that the loss of muscle mass, especially in the upper body, was a normal partof the aging process. This is far from the truth. Strength training not inty tretpi prevent the los; ofmuscle mass associated with aging but can actually increase muscle niass in those even in their80's and 90's. lt is a known fact, that we begin losing muscle mass after age 35 unless we areinvolved in strength training.

Studies als! indjcate that healthy, elderly individuals who are stronger are tess likely to havefrequent falls. An appropriately designed rFistance program can atso help maintain fleiibitity andbalance..Adding sketching exercises may enhance the benefits of an exercise program. A welldesigned work out can also have significant cardiovascular benefits. Resistance training plays avital role in preventing head attacks by conditioning the cardiovascular system to copL riroreefficiently with sudden changes in blood pressure and heart rate.

Needless lo say, it is important to get a balance of aerobics, resistance training and stretching intoyour exercise program. I recommend modest aerobics at least two to three times a weei andstrength kaining two to three times a week, Giving your body a chance to rest is also an essentialaspecl to health. Our bodies actually become stronger during rest. When you're tearing downmuscle and building up your aerobic capacity, you. body needs some time off to rest. you sh;uH tryto have at least one ortwo days off each week.

HEALTH CONCEPTS-NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENT PROGRAM

The Health Benefits of Nutritional Supplements

> Enhances the immune system.> Enhances the antioxidant defense system.> Decreases the risk of heart attacks, strokG and cancer.> Decreases the risk of arthritis, macular degeneration and cataracts.> Decreases the risk of asthma and hay fever.> Decreases the risk of alzheimer,s dementia, parknson's disease, and many other chronic

degenerative diseases.

The final aspect of a healthy lifestyte is nutritional supplements. For years, I told my patients theycould get eveMhing lhey need from their diet. However, after researching the medicat literature foithe past seven years on this subject, I am convinced that every man, women and child needs to betaking nutritional supplements in order to better protect their health.

our bodies are created with a complicated and sophidioated antioxidant defense systems to protectus from the devastating damage of oxidative stress. Because this generation is under greatei attackfrom the toxins in our environment, our stressfut lifestyles and poor ea{ng habits th;n any other

previous generation, we need to optimize these defense systems. Eating a healthy diet is a good astart. However, there is no way we can obtain the optimal levels of the nulrients. Our bodies needfrorn our diet alone. We must supplement our diet to best protect our heafth.

Physicians are usually negative about their patients taking any kind of supplements. However, onceyou understand that oxidative stress is the root cause of almost all of our major chronicdegenerative diseases, you will agree that supplementing your healthy diet with high qualitysupplements is essential and worth fighting for.

CELLULAR NUTRITIONI encourage my patients to take lhe ljsana essertials (Mega Antioxidant and Chelated Mineral) andActive calcium, which provide what I refer to us "Cellular Nutrition,,. Cellular nutrition is providingall of the nutrients, the cell needs to function at optimal levels (Not RDA levels), which have beensho\,vn to provide a health benefit in the medical literature. This allows the cell to decide what itneeds and does not need. You will no longer have to worry about nutritional deficiencies, since youwill replenish any nutritional deficiency and will enhance all the other nutrient tevels to their optimallevels lyithin six to nine months on this program. I encourage you to read my book, Whaf Doctol'sDont Know About Nutritional Medicine May Be Ki ing you, to fully understand these concepts ofsupplementation. Hor,vever, Usana Health Sciences has developed a fu line of nutritionalsupplements, which are pharmaceliical-grade and provide this cellular nuhition in a complete andbalanced fashion. This improves compliance and makes the goal of achieving "cellular nutrition'very easy.

ESSENTIAL FATS AND FIBERSupplementing your diet with essential fats and fiber is usually critical. 80% of the people in the USand Canada are deficient in Omega-3 Fatty Acids. Most people are also significantly deficient infiber in their diet. Even though the average American only consumes approximately I to 10 grams offiber per day, it is strongly advised that you eat a minimum 35 to 50 grams of fiber each day. (Seediscussion of fiber and Essential facts under healthy diet). This is why I strongly recornmend thateveryone add usana's fibergy and optomega or biomega-3 to the essentials and active calcium.This assures me that my patients willbe providing the cell optimal levels of all ofthese nutrients.

NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTATION FOR CHILDRENAccording to the Journal of Pediatrics, less tha 1% of the children today receive even the minimalamount (RDA'S) of the required nutrients. lt becomes very obviqus that each of our children alsoneed to be improving their diet, activity level and taking nutritional supplements. I recommend to mymothers that children from age 18 months to 4 years should take 1 usanimals daily. Children fromage 5 to I years old should be taking 2 usanimals daily. Children from age 9 to 16 years old shouldbegin taking body Rox (3 tablets daily unless they are very small children in which case 2 tabletsdaily maybe more appropriate). Mothers should also consider giving their children 1 to 2 tsps ofOptomega (depending on their age), additlonal tiber via fibergy or the fiber bar, and additionalcalcium via active calcium (which maybe crushed) or active calcium chewables. Additional calciumis critical for children prior to pubeny to increase overall bone density. These chitdren need to betaking at least 800 to '1,000 mg of supplemental calcium.

RECOMMENDED DAILY ALLOWANCE (RDA)Research studiG reveal standards of recommended daily allowance (RDA,S) have absolutelynothing to do with chronic degenerative diseases. RDA'S were developed to avold what are knownas acute deficiency diseases like scarvy (deficiency of Vitamin C), rickets (deficiency of Vitamin D),and pellagra (deficiercy of niacin). ln other words, if you consume the RDA'S for vitamin C, MtaminD and Niacin you wouH not develop any ofthese illnesses.

Admittedly, the RDA'S have done their job-how many people do you know suffer from thesediseasesa? RDA'S firsl develop in the 1920's and 1930's. the least of the nutrients included in theRDA'S grew over the next two decadF and in the earty 1950's, the definition of RDA,S expanded toinclude the amount of nutrients needed for normal growth and development. Despite the fact thatRDA'S have proved usetul most physicians and laypeople tend to assign more meaning to RDA,stlandard than they should.

Afrer rFearching m€dical literature on the topic of oxidative stress and the amount of nutrientsneeded tq prevent it, lfound the optimai levels of nutrients known to provide health beneflts aresignificantly-$eater lio6€ suggested by RDA levels. For example, the optimal level of Vit_E is 4OOlU. The RDA is only 30 lU. That being the case, you may consider eating 4oO lU of Mt-E. you wouldonly need to eat 33 heads of spinach, or 27 pounds of butter; BO avocados will do or an altemative 5pound ofwheat germ each and everyday to obtain that level of vitamin E.

Similarly, the optimal level of Mtamin C is approximately 1,200 to 2000 mg daity, while the RDA isonly,6tmg. To eat the optimal levets of vitamin would need to consume 18;ranges, or 17 kiwi fruit,or 160.apples. Put in this perspective, it becomes clear that the onty way to obtain these levels ofnutrients is to supplement our diet. And this requires more than a generic multiple vitamln.One-aday multiple vjtamins are primarily based on RDA levels, thus providing no measurablehealth benefits. Significantly more potent supptement are needed each day to pr;vide the optimallevels to provide celtular nutrition. This booklet wilt explain why I person; y believed the Usananutritional.supplements offe6 my patients the mo6t complete and balanced ;s welt as the highestquality cellular nutrition on the market today.

THE "MAGIC BULLET" APPROACHMost scientific studies done on nutritionat supptements are approached in the traditional way oftesting drugs-hoping to discover a "magic bullet". A disease is isolated and targeted by one spe;ificdrug- The pharmaceutical resultg oithat drug are then measured.

Researah trials have been similarly conducted for nuhitional supplements. For example, calciumand vitamin D have been tested for their effects on oGteoporosis; vitamin E for heart disease,magnesium for inegular heartbeats or selenium to reduce the risk oi cancer.

One problem remains, however: Vitamins such as C, D and E are not drugs. They are naturalnutrients lhat our bodies get irom our foods. The various antioxidants and suptorting nutrjents workon different typ6 of free radicals and in different parts of the body. Vitamin E is the best antioxidantwithin the cell membrane. Vitamin C ls most effective within the plasma. Glutathione wo*s mostefficiently within the cell itsell Literally dozens of antioxidants are at work in variols parts of lhebody and are effective against particular types of free radicats. They work together-syneigistically{ocontrol oxidative stress. This means that 1 plus 1 does not equal 2, bd 8 or 10. M;dic;l resedrchseparates th6e nutrients out and tries to study their individual efiect. The amazing fact remains thatte overwhelming majority of studies actually does show a health benefit with even an individualnutrient, however, since oxidative stress is the underlying problem we rnust concern ourselves with,it is important to realize that all of these nutrients work together-synergy-

Vitamin C actually replenishes Vitamin E and lntracellular glutathione so it can be used over andover again, Alpha Lipoic Acid also regeneraies Vitamin E and glutathione. tn addition, theseantioxidants need optimal levels of the B Vitamins-Folic acid, Vttamin 81, 82, 86 and B,l2-ln orderto perform at optimal levels. They also need the so called antioxidants minerals such as selenium,manganese, copper and zinc to do their job right. lf you have all the glutathione in the worldavailable bul are depleted in selenium, which glutathione needs to work; there will be very litflehealth benefit.

when all of the neceqsary nutrienls are provided to the cell in a complete and balanced nutritionalsupplements, the clmbined effect is phenomenal. The polency of these nutrienls in optimizing ourbody's nalural antioxidant, immune and repair systems when these synergy is achieved-andmaximized. Oxidative stress can be controlled and our health will be protecied.

I also apply this principies for my patients who are already suffering from a major chroniodegenerative disease. I provide them with the same basia celluhr nutitio; I recommena for all mypatienls and then ladd additional potent antioxidants which I refer to as optimizers, to the regim;tailor to each specific disease, When physicians take advantage of the mbst tremendous heilingasset, the.host-our bodies, and support it rather than denying its importance in the healing proces;

. amazing clinical improvement is possibte.

Cellular nutrition is about health, not disease. "Attacking" the root cause of chronic degenerativedisease is true preventive medicine. By applying th6e same principles, you lvho are in good heatthcan decrease the risk of developing these chronic degenerative diseases.

OXIDATIVE STRESSOxygen is essential for life itself. But did you know it is also inherentty dangerous to our existence? I

called this the "dark side' of oxygen. And as a result, we are essentially rusting inside and out. Thesame process that causes a cut apple to turn brown or iron mst is the cause of all the chronicdegenerative diseases, we fear and even the aging process itself.

Consider the aging of our skin, oxidative stress is the cause of wrinkles, sagging skinl age spots.The next time you are with a large gathering of people of different ages, observe closely the changeyou see in people's skin. Aging is a process we alltake for granted, but when you look more closelyand compare a baby's face, to that of a grandparent's, the effects of our largest organs beingexposed to allthe pollutants in the air, sunlight and cigarette smoke is baffling. This aging ofthe skinis an outward manifestation of'oxidative stress," which is occurring within every cell ln your body.

Over the past 7 yeac, I have reviewed well over 2000 medical and scientific studies in regards tonutritional supplements and their affect on your health. These studies appearing in medicaljournalsIike the New England Journal ot Medicine, Joumal of the Ameican Medical Association, BitbhLancet and Annuab ol lnternal Medicine teport that beyond any doubtthe root cause of well over 70chronic degenerative diseases is 'oxidative stress." These are the "who's who." of diseases we allfear and want to avoid diseases like heart attacks, strokes, diabetis, cancer, arthritis, alzheimer'sdementia, macular degeneration, lupus, MS, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue. "so whaf'you may bewondering 'is 'oxidative skess'?'

Wthin every cell of the body is a furnace called the mitochondia. As oxygen is utilized within thefumace of the cell to create energy and lile itself, occasionally, a charge oxygen molecule iscreated, called a "free radical." This free radical has at least 1 unpaired electron in each outer orbitessentially giving it an electrical charge. If this free radical is not readily neutralize by an antioxidantit can go on to create more volatile free radiaals damaged the cell wall, vessel wall, proteins, fatsand even the DNA nucleus of our cells. Chemically, this reaction has been shown to be so volatilethat it actually causes bursts of light within our bodies!

lmagine yourself in front of a crackling lireplace and I'll give you the best illustration I have to explainlhe process of oxidation. The fire burns safely and beautifully most of the time but on occasion outpops a hot cinder that lands on your carpet and burns a little hole in it. One cinder by itself doesnlpose much of a threati but if this sparkling and popping continues month afrer month, year afteryear, you will have a pretty "ratty'carpet in front ofyour fireplace.

The fireplace represents the fumace of the cell (The mitochondria), The cinder is the charge "ireeradical" and the carpet is your body. Whichever part of your body receives the most free radicaldamage will be the first to wear out and potentially cause one of these degenerative diseases. tf it'syour aderies you could develop a heart attack or stroke. lf it is your brain, you oould developalzheimer's dementia or parkinson's disease. lf it's yourjoints, you could develop arthritis.

Through bio chemical research we're learning that we are not defenseless against this attack on ourbody by the free radicals. Antioxidants are like the glass doors or fine-wire mesh we place in front ofour fireplace. The sparks are still going to fly but our carpet will then be protected. As you begin toimagine the war that is taking place within evey cell in your body, you can envision the two opposingforces: The enemy-free radicalsi and your allies-antioxidants and their suppor ng nutrients.

Living a healthy life b€comes a matter of balance. You must have enough anti-oxidants available toreadily neutralize the number of tree radicals your body produces. !f you don't, .oxidative stress, willoccur. When this oxidative stress is allowed to persist over a prolong period of time. you will mostlikely develop a serious chronic degenerative disease.

Each of us must ask, 'Am I getting enough antioxidant from my diet to protect myself from thisonslaught of free radicals or do I need to be taking Nutritional Supplements?' This is the quddonthat I've had to ask myself as I have spent countless hours researching medical literature. you gaa: I

l1

vr6 t?ught in medical school that you don't need supplements-that you can get everything you needfrom a good healthy diet. And this is what I told my patienG for years I was wlong.

Since balance is the key we need to look closely at the individual players that are at war within. Thenumber of free radicals you produce each and everyday is never the same. All the pollutants in ourair food and water dramatically increase the number of free radicals we produce. Enormous stress,excessive exercise, cigarette smoke, sunlight, radiation and every drug prescribe greafly increasethe number of free radicals produced in the body. ln fact, there has nev-r been a generation on thisplanet subjected more oxidative stress than this present one. We are literally und;r attack from ourpolluted environment, stressful lifestyles and over medicated society.

This ongoing attack is depriving us of our most precious gifr-our health. gut cod did not leave usdefenseless agajnst this onslaught by free radicals. ln fact, we actually have our own army ofantioxidants, Mtich are able to neutralize free radicals and render them-harmless. ln generationspast, these defense systems were sufficient. Unfodunately this is no longer the case. Our bodiesdefense systems need additional atlies.

lrosl Antioxidants come from vegetables and fruit. This creates a gap in our protection, because ourfoods have becomes signilicantly depleted in their content of antioxidants and supporting mjneralsas a resull of mineral depletion in our soils, green harvesting, cold storage, foods that are highlyprocessed, our poor food choices and food preparation.

At a time when we are under the heaviest attack from the environment around u9, our naturaldefense systems are becoming overwhelmed and depleted. We must do all we can to rebuild ourantioxidant systems with a healthy diet, but too you need to learn how to complete and balancednutritional supplementation with high quality supplements (cellutar nutrition) is our best hope inwinning this war within and protecting our health.

CONCLUSIONTherefore, I encourage ALL of my patients to take Usana Essentjals, Active Calcium, Fibergy andeither Optomega or Biomega 3. This provides optimat "cellular nutrjtion'in a convenient ani costeffective manner. Usana Health Science's commitment to quality and scientific approach tonutritional supplementation makes my job very easy. When you combine a healthy diet, modestexercise program, and nutritional supplementation together, you are giving yourseif the absolutebest chance of protecting your health. tf you have already tost your health, I would refer to myspecific recommendations for your particular disease or problem. you wi quickly see that I simpltbegin adding potent 'optimizers" to this basic concept of cellular nutrition as an effective means ofhelping you regain and take back control ofyour heatth.

WHY CHOOSE USANA

WHY I RECOMMEND USANA PRODUCTS

lpeEonally believe USANA Health Sciences has developed and troduced the mostcomplete and balance nutritional products on the market today. ln fact, all the clinical case studyre6ults documented in my new book, What Yout Doctot Doesh't Know About Nutitjonal Medicin;May Be Kling you, were achieved by using products developed and manufactured by USANA,Based on Dr. Myron W€ntz's knowledge of human cell culture technology, USANA has developedthe most impressive science-based producls available.

.. USANA strictly follows pharmaceutical-grade cood Manufacturing pradlr€s (cMp). Thismeans they not only purchase pharmaceutical-grade raw products, but abo manufacture iheproducts according to tough pharmaceutical-quality guidelines. in addition, USANA Health Sciencesfollows USP guidelines for potency, uniformity, and dissotution of the tabtet. in a nutshell, USANAmanufactures their products to the strict standards of over-the-courder drugs even though notrequired to do so assuring all of their customers and associates that what 'ls on ihe label is ;luallyrlllhe tablet. I am also duly impressed (as any physician shoutd be) that USANA is one of the onlir oiritional supplements listed in the Physicians Desk Referenae(pDR).

Refer to Appendix ARefer to Appendix B

adding at least one serving of Fibergy daily will enhance these recommendations

ACNE

Acne is the result of excessive oil secretion during or shortly afrer puberty, which primarily involvesthe face, chest, and back. the oil glands essentially become blocked by this excessive oil and thenthey become infected. this problem can be very mild, or may become quite severe resulting insignilicant and permanent sca ng. Nutritional supplement support is beneticial; however, traditionalmedical treatment can be very effective. Therefore, Iteel it is very important that these patients beunder the care and supervision oftheir primary care physician or dermatologist.

AIDS IAGQUIRED IMMUNODEFICIENCEY SYNDROME)

AIDS is caused by a retrovirus, which slowly destroy a person's lmmune system. lam not going todiscuss the disease in detail here but most likely would be a great subject for a future newslefter. itis important however, to realize that everything that I am recommending is to try to build up thepatient's natural immune system and hopefully slow down this process. There is a tremendouslength ot tlme between when a patient is actually infected with the retrovirus to when they actuallybecome sick. in some studies it may be as long as 15 yeaIs with average being around'10 years.This is the window of time that I feel is very important to build up one's nalural lmmune system inthe hopes that you can delay becoming ill from your disease.

The best way to build up your natural antioxidant defense system is though cellular nutrition and theaddition ofcertain optimizers. The following is my recommendations to accomplish this goal.

BELL'S PALSYBell's palsy is a paralysis ofthe facial muscles due to damage or dysfunction ofthe facial nerve asit passes through a nanow canal in the bones of the face just in front of the ear. it is now believedthat the underlying cause is usually a herpes viral infection, which causes swelting of the facialnerve as, it passes through this narrow channel. This causes the nerve to be pinched leading fornerve compression, nerve dysfunction, and possible destruction. The compression of the facialnerve leads to facial paralysis and drooping of that side of the face. Patients are not able to ciosetheir eye (may lead to dryness of the eye and possible eye damage), smile, their face becomesnumb, and they are unable to wfinkle their forehead.

BIPOLAR DISORDERPatients with depression, bipolar disorder, and manic depressive syndrome can see significantimprovement with the use of nutritional supplementation. The medical literature is tull of well doneclinical studies, which sho\ry that nutritional supplementation helps all of these problems. Again,most of these studiF have been done looking at individual nulrients; however, I firmly believe thatkey optimizers ned to be added to basic cellular nutrition. obviously, these patients need tocontinue their medication and only use nutritional supplementation as a means of enhancing theirtraditional therapy.

CANCER _ LUNGLung cancer is one of the most common cancers physicians see. lnspite of all the education aboutthe dangers of tobacco abuae, the rate of smokers has fallen very lit e. in fact, smoking among ouryouth is growing. Ever since Dr. Ochsner, who was a chest surgeon and started the Ochsner Clinicin New Orleans, showed the increase in lung cancer among smokers we have seen the frequencyof lung cancer skyrocket. ln fact, even afier a patient quits smoking they are at a significanflygreater risk of developing lung, oralor throat cancer for the rest oftheir lives.

The main problem with lung cancer is the laat that once it is diagnosed there is very litue that ouraggressive treatments are able to do to fight this cancer. Whetherthe cancer is an adenocarcinoma,smallcell (oat cellcancer), or one of the rare types of lung cancer, treatments are very ineffective.This is in part due to the fact that physicians are only able to diagnose these canceE at their verylast stages and most of the time they have already spread (metastasized).

Lligraine headaches are a disease and should be treated as a disease, Migrain6 can lead toserious disability and even stroke in younger patients. There is a complex series of changes thatoccur in the arteries. There is usually inflammation, which occurs in the arlery caused by variousirritants (see heart disease - an inflammatory disease). This teads to endotheial dysfunctlon (poorfunctioning of the lining of the artery). This causes severe spasm ofthe artery causing lack ot tjioodsupply to that area of the brain. This creates the 'aura" or numbness, blurred vision, flashing lights,which c.an.precede the migraine headache.

CROHN'S DISEASECrohn's disease is an autoimmune disease prirnarily involving the small bowel and occasionally thelarge bowel as well. The body actually attacks itself. lvedical literature documents that in the case ofthis disease, the mucosal lining of the small bowel is very depleted in antioxidants. Theinflammatory response created by the body's own immune system causes one to use up all thenatural antioxidants in an attempt to offset the tremendous number of free radicals that are beingproduced. Since this disease lnvolves the gastrointestinal tract, there is also a malabsorption olnutrient. When the depletion of nutrients caused by the inflammatory response is combined with thepoor absorption of nutrients from one's diet, one can clearly see why these patier{s need anutritional supplement program.

Polymyosotis is the term usedwhen lhis condition spares the skin. On the other hand, the term dermatomyositis is used whenpolymyositis is assoaiated with typical skin rash. These disease processes can be associated withother connective tissue disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, or scleroderma. Thesediseases are rare and can present a variety of symptoms while affecting various areas ofthe body.

DIABETES MELLITUS TYPE IDiabetes mellitus type 1 used lo be called "juvenile diabetes'. Currently, this type of diabetes isbelieved to be an autoimmune disease. Even thought genetics and environment play some role inthe development of type 1 diabetes, most oi the recent interest has been in the autoimmuneprocess as the cause of this disease. Several studies have shown a significant increase in thenumber of cases of type I diabetes following an epidemic of cozsackievirus, mumps, aod congenitalrubella. Researchers do not believe that it is the actual viral iffection of the pancreas that is thecalse but rather an autoimmune response caused by the viral infection.

DIABETES MELLITUS ryPE 2

Diabetes mellitus has become one of the mosl widespread diseases in existence. Over the pastthirty-flve years, the industrialized world has seen the number of diabetes cases muttiply fivefold. lnthe United States alone, an estimated 9150 blllion is spent annualty on treating diabetes and relatedcomplications. An estimated 16 million people in America are known to have diabetes, but the mo6tamazing fact is that approximately half of our nation doesn't even know they have it yet.

DIALYSIS PATIENTSWhen patients are already on dialysis, it is difficult for me to recommend any supplementationprogram.Since they essentially have artificial kidneys, it is critical that thek nephrologist know all themedications and supplements their patients are taking. I could only recommend that patier*s ondialysis take in the Usana Product Catalog to their doctor and discuss wilh him what they can orcannot take. their physician is also checking their btood chemistry's several times a month and theymay need to be changing their recommendations frequen y.

DIVERTICULOSISI would venture that over 70% of my patients will develop diverticulosis in their lifetime. As a r6ult ofour poor diets, it is a common disease in the modern world. Diverticulosis is the herniation of thenormal colon through the muscular wall of the colon. These hernias are much like the ,,blebs, youwould see on an inner tube oI a tire

ELEVATED CHOLESTEROLRecent medical research reveals thal contrary to popular opinion, heart disease is not a disease ofcholesterol but instead a result of low-grade chronic inflammation of the arlery. ln fact, over halt ofthe patients who sufler a heart attack actually have normal cholesterol levels.

Major medical studies are now demonstrating that physicians should actually be checking forinflammation prGent in our arteries if they want to better determine which patients are at increasedrisk of developing coronary artery diseaseespecially in women. Dr. Daniel Steinberg has writtenextensively in the New England Journal of Medicine explaining that "native" LDL cholesterol is notbad. LDL cholesterol only becomes bad once it has been modified or oxidized by e)cessive free

radicals. This means that if you have enough antioxidants on board to neutralize all of the freeradicals, your LDL cholesterol is really not bad.

Now, there have been many studies reported in the medical literature demonstrding a strong

correlation between low LDL cholesterol and the decreased risk of having a heart attack. This is

easily explained by the fact that the lower one's LDL cholesterol- the less LDL cholesterol there isto b6conie oxidiz;d. Therefore, it is still a good idea to have your LDL cholesterol as low aspos6ible.

ENDOMETRIOSIS

Endometriosis is a disease that is caused by the migration of the lining of the uterus into theabdomen. This transplanted endometrium begins to grow and develop in the area around the tubes,ovaries, and the bowel. During the patient's menstrual cycle, this tissue also is stimulated to grow

and during their period can creale a tremendous amount of pain. That is why the hallmark symptom

is increasing pain with your period. lt is like having a lot of small periods inside your lower

abdomen. Nb one really underslands why this happens. However, the patients who sulfer from thisproblem can experience significant pain and discomfort.

24

EPILEPSYMany patients suffer from seizures and are tahng potent medications to contror them. A seizureoccurs when the electical cunent, which is passing through the brain, actually short circuit andcreates an abnormal stimulation of the bady. There are many types and severity of seizures. Someinvolve a simple blank stare, Mich usua y lasts for S to 15 slcoirds (petit Mal Seizure) to completeloss ofconsciousness and viorent jerking hovements of the extremities (Grand mar seizure). ihereare severaltypes of selzures found between these two extremes.

Patients who suffer with seizures can have significant improvements if they add an aggresslvenutritional p_rogram. Magnesium in supptementation alone has been shown to lower the fre{iency otall kinds of seizures. r recommend adding the following nutritional program to their traditionarmedications.

This discussion is primarily aimed at sFtemic lupus. ln thiscase, the body's own immune system is essentially attacking itsell which causes an inhammatoryresponse that damages these organs by a process called oxidative stress.

MACULAR DEGENERATIONln the United States, age-related macular degeneration is the leading cause of blindness in peopleover 60,yls.old ofage. Macutar degeneration presenls itseli in two different forms: dry & wet, whichboth atfect the macula of the eye. This is the area of the retina responsible for our central vision.The dry form is characterized by a gradualreduction in centrai vi;ion, and may progress to the wetform in approximately 10% of the cases. There is no proven treatment cunenfly for the dry form o,macular degeneration.

The wet form causes a more rapid reduction in central vision, development of new vessels, andpossible vess€l leakage. This form of macurar degeneration is pobntiafly treatabre via laserphotocoagulation. However, treatment does not prevenl blindness. -

' !i-

Several clinicat studies revealthat the underlying cause of age-relaled macular degeneration is freeradical damage or oxidative stress to the macula. Within the eye, high-energy ultraviolet light and

the visible blue light creates excessive free radicals. As a person ages, one's ability to offset thisfree radicals in order to limit oxidative stress, decreases-

MENOPAUSE/PERIMENOPAUSE

MULTIPLE T9IYELOMAMultiple Myeloma represents a malignant proliferation of plasma cells, which are a type of white cell.It is commonly referred to as a bone cancer, since it usually prGents in the bone. lt can cause bonepain but unlike other cancers that spread to the bone, back and rid pain due to multiple myeloma isaccentuated by movement. lt literally deskoys bone and leaves a "punched" out or black lesion onx-ray. One of the most frequent findings is elevated calcium and cedain proteins in the blood. Theseindlviduals all have a depleted immune system and are very vulnerable to infection. They alsofrequently have kldney failure due to the hlgh calcium levels.

MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS (MS}Multiple sclerosis (MS) affects about 250,000 Americans and is about twice as common in womenas in men. This disorder affects the myelin sheath (insulation around the nerve). The breakdown ofthe myelin, called demyelination, result in impairment of the function of the nerve with presenlingclinical symptoms ot multiple sclerosis.

MUSCULAR DYSTROPHYMuscular dystrophy is a generalterm for several forms of dystrophies. The most common form isDuchene Muscular Dystrophy. Others are like Becker, LimFgirdle, Myotonic, and CongenitalIruscular Dystrophy, just to name a few. They all seem to be caused by a genetic defect thatcauses a decre6e in ihe production of dystrophin in the muscle, which leads to necrosis of themuscle. All of th6e various muscular dystrophies will have different clinical courses and affectdifferent muscle groups.

OSTEOPOROSISOsteoporosis is an epidemic nutritional deficiency in the United States. More than 25 millionAmericans suffer with this disease at the cost to the economy of the U.S. of approximately 14 billiondollars each year. At least 1-2 million fractures occur each year in the United States as a directresult of osteoporosis. Spontaneous compression fractures of lhe vertebrae of the back causetremendous pain and suffering for those with osteoporosis.

PAGET'S DISEASEPaget's disease is a disease of the bone. This is where the bone occurs \,vhen there is very rapidresorption of the bone and chaotic new bone fo.mation. Most of the time this disease has nosymptoms and doctors will usually pick this up on a routine x-ray oi the head or pelvis. However,sometimes there is obvious deformity of one of the long bones, which may affect your ability to walkproperly. Occasionally, the patient may d€velop significant pain in these areas llhere the bone isaffected by lhis disease.

PARKINSON'S DISEASEA stooped posture, slow voluntary movement, rigidity, and a "pill-rolling' tremor characterizeParkinson's disease. Public appearances by lvuhammad Ali have made us all more aware of theeffects of this debilitating disease. A wide variety of studies support the role of tree radicals as itsunderlying cause. The actual cell death (approximately 80%) in the area of the brain called thesubstantia nigra leads to decreased production of dopamine, a substance thal alloll€ the brain tofunction normally. Even thought the body has a great ability to heal itself, once a significant numberofthese cells have already been destroyed, it is difficult to see clinical improvement.

Although it may be limited to the skin, most ofren otherorgans are also lnvolved such as: the lungs, esophagus, kidneys, heart, and blood vesselsthroughout the body. This intense inflammatory reaction causes significant inflammation of the smallarteries, which leads to poor circulation and lack of blood supply to many various organs of thebody. As a result, there is an intense build up to flbrous scarring and organ damage.

SHINGLES

Shingles is the result ot a viral inieation caused by the varicella zoster virus (\ZV), also known asthe human herpesvirus-3 (HHV-3). This is actually the chicken pox virus that manifest itself later inlife. Nine out of ten people have been infected by the chicken pox virus, and inspite of totallyrecovering from chicken pox, the virus "sets up shop" and lays dormant in the sensory nerves of thespinal cord.

The hallmark presentation of shingles is a "painful" rash that follows along a particular nerve of thebody. lt almost always involves only one side ofthe body and may be seen anywhere from the scalpto the lower leg. I become very suspicious of shingles in a patient who comes into my clinic with anunusual, unexplained localized pain. lt is. not uncommon that pain precedes the rash (even byseveral days). Therefore, I warn my patients to look for the development of a rash because early,effective treatment with anti-viral medication not only shortens the course ol the disease but canalso signiflcantly reduce later complications. This is why I encourage anyone who is concemed thatthey may be developing shingles to seek medical advice immediately. This gives you the bestchance in preventing the most serious complication of shingles, postherpetic neuralgia.

ULCERATIVE COLITIS

Ulcerative colitis is an inllammatory disease of the colon or large bowel that is classified as anautoimmune disease. lt is essentially arthritis ol the bowel wherein one's own immune system lsactually atlacking the mucosal lining of the large bowel and creating a an jnflammatory response.This in turn causes significant oidative stress, and the demand on the antioxidant defense systemofthe large bowel is ovenyhelming.

APPENDIX A

NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENT RECOMMENDATIONSI recommend that all my patients take the basic nutritional support I refer to as cellular nutrition. Thisfoundatiooal regime provides all the necessary micronutrients to the cell at ideal levels (not RDAlevels) for signiflcant health benefits as documented in the medical literature. When the cell is givenmaximum support, it can then determine what it does and does not need. Over a six-month periodeach cell is able to not only overcome nutritional deficiencies but also to oplimize A!I. the nutrients,vrhich are needed to combat oxidative stress.

The synergistic effect of providing all lhe nutrients needed by one's body at the most advantageouslevels results in optimizing and rebuilding the body's natural immune system, antioxidant, and repairsystems backto their fullest fighling potential against disease.

MINIMAL SUPPORT FOR CELLULAR NUTRITION:My minimal recommendation lor creating cellular nutrition is to simply take Usana's l\regaAntioxidant and Chelated Minerals, called "The Essentials' at their recommended doses (3 of eachdaily). The essentials offers the cell ALL oi the antioxidants, B-cofactors, and antioxidant mineralsneeded by the cell at ideal levels. ln order to achieve the best resutts, I recommend taking I MegaAntioxidant and I Chelated Mineral with each meal. Nutrjtionals should always be taken with foodbecause of better absorption and better tolerance. However, as a physician, I aealize thatcompliance with taking supplements three times a day is a majot issue. Therefore, if you tend tofrequently forget the lunchtime dose, I suggest taking the supplements twice daily: taklng 2 MegaAntioxidants and 1 Chelated Mineral in the morning with breaKast and 1 mega Antioxidar{ and 2Chelated Minerals in the evening meal with evening meal.

OPTIMAL SUPPORT FOR CELLULAR NUTRITION:For the most favorable results for basic cellular nutdtion, I also recommend adding to the UsanaEssentials either Optomega (2 lsps daily) or Biomega-3 (4 capsutes daily), which provides theessential fats and Fibergy, which assures the individual is recelving the additional fiber his or herbody needs. I also recommend adding Active calcium (4 tablets daily) to provide additional calcium,magnesium, and vitamin D that our bodies need. These recommendations provide allthe nutrientsat their ideal levels creating the cellular nutrition I recommend in my book, Whet your DodotDoesn't Know About Nuttitional Medicine May Be Ki ing You.

39

OPNIEERSI b crticd that you lcIow the necessity of adding optimizer to you foundafional cellutar nutrition forotrind rcsl.dts. Patients who are suffering from a chronic degenerative disease or illness are undernxre oxidative stress than the average heatthy individual. Therefore, adding potenl Optimizers tottle b6b cdlular nukition offers you the best chance to bring this oxidatjve stess back undercorfol. The synergy and increased potency created by this approach to nutrihonat medicine is whyI'm able to get such consistent results in my patients.

However, to suit each individual's unique needs, I always offer both an optimal ard a minimal planfor cellular nutrition and for adding Optimizers. Obviously, one's improvement will be quicker andmore consistent with ihe optimal recommendations; however, a minimal regime aan still producesigniflcant clinical resufts.

APPENDIX BCONSIDER A POWER SHAKEUSANA has a fantastic line of nutritionally balanced drinks that many of my patients consume as ameal substitute. ln fact, I personally start every moming r/ith 2 scoop of Fibergy, 2 scoops ofSoyomax, and 2 teaspoonfuls of Optomega. This provides me with a pefect, batanced unpoitutedmeal to start my day. lt allows me the opportunity to supplement my diet with soy protein; elitraneeded fiber, and essential fat. This meal is also a low-glycemic meat, which will not spike my bloodsugar. Likerrvise, many USANA associates are using their imaginations to creale exceptionallytasting meals with Fibergy, Optomega, and the USANA Lean Drinks. By blending in frozen, whotefruit for added flavor they are creating a variety of great tasting drinK.

lsn't it remarkable that by simply taking I.JSANA Essentials, Active Calcium and a power drink(remember, to consider this part ofyour food budget, since it is replacing an entire meal), the bodyis supplied with complete, and balanced cellular nutrition for every cell in the body? The synergythat is created, especially when adding needed Optimizers is phenomenal. Remember, lheunderlying problem is oxidative stress NOT a nutritional deficiency.

STARTING YOUR USANA NUTRITIONAL PROGRAMOve. eighty percent of my patients are able to start the USANA Nutritional program with absolutetyno setbacks while beginning to experience the health benefits of high-quality nutritional supplementsimmediately. Please keep in mind these supplements are extremely potent and optimal levels ofnutrients are being provided that the body has never had before. The body is therefore able to finallyrid itself oftoxins, which have been accumulating for years (called detoxification). This is especiallytrue in those who are suffering from a serious illness and are taking a significant amount ofmedication. lt is important to understand the possible signs and symptoms of detoxification so thatyou can deal'rith them confidently and properly.

DETOXIFICATION:The most common detoxincation reaction is muscle aches and/ or mild headache. These symptomswill usually pass within a few weeks. lf the discomfort is not unbearabte, I simply have my patientscontinue their program as I have prescribed. However, occasionally there is a more severereaction. The patient is not in danger, rather, the amounts of nutrients are just too much too fast. lnthis case, I have my patients quit their supplements for a few days untit the reaction subsides. I willthen have them starl back on their program but initially at lower doses (approximately) one third ofthe recommended dose). Once they are tolerating this amount of supplementation, I suggest slowlybuilding up to the recommended doses.

Some of my patients actually develop a "detox' skin rash somewhere on their body. As you know,the skin is an imponant route for ridding the body's toxins .This rash is a dry, red rash that looksalmost like a mild sunburn. Some people confuse this with an allergic reaction to the suppiementsThis is not typically so. I have never seen an allergic reaction to the USANA essentiats and can onlyrecall a couple of patients who reacted to Proflavanol because they were actually allergic to grapes.

Patients may also experience some aspect of loose stools or even diarrhea. This again is acommon "detox" reaction because the Gl tract is another prime route for eliminating toxins from the

40

body. _This symptom will usually diminish within a couple of weeks. lt is an important part of thedetoxification and healing process. Therefore, I usually encourage my patienis to continue thesupplements as recornmended unless their bottom gets too sore. I willtheDagain recommend lowerdoses of the supplements until they feel better and then begin adding the supplements back moreslolviy until the recommended doses are reached. Diarrhea can be the resuf 6f the magnesium inthe Active Calcium or by the Prollavanol. Again, this is usually a mild reaction and will im-prove overthe first week or two. However, some of my patients need to discontinue the Active Calcium and/orthe Proflavanol until this settles down. I then have them stowly add back the proflavanoi andeventually the Active Calcium.

lncreasing dietary fiber may also increase the amount of intestinal gas and the frequency of bowelmovements. This lyill improve with time as the body adjust to the higher intake of fiber, but is animportant aspect of getting rid ofthe toxins, which have accumulated in the body.

A small percentage of patients develop a natural relaxation response when minetals are absorbedinto lheir body. This is of great concern to those patients who have just been told that nukitjonalsupplementation will help improve their energy level. They take the supplements as recommendedonly to find themselves more faiigued and dragging themselves through their day. lf you experiencetiis response, I recommend that you take alt of your minerals (including the Actlve Calcium) with alight bedtime snack. lhis allows you to take advantage of your body's response while getting a goodnight's sleep.

STOMACH UPSET:A small percentage of patients have difiiculty tolerating vitamin C. it can cause an upset stomachthat will usually become evident a couple days after starting their nutritional program. With USANA,Sspecially combined vitamin C into Poly C. I have seen many of people who could not previoustytolerate any nutritional supplement do very well with USANA'S Mega Antioxidant. However, ifnausea is experienced, I suggest taking one Mega Antioxidant with the largest meal. Once this levelof supplementation is better tolerated, I suggest slowly adding another Mega antioxidant to the nextlargest meal. I anticipate building them up to the recommended level of supplementation, butsometimes this !s just not possible. For those extremely sensitive, I advise using Body Rox. (theteenage dose of Antioxidants and lrinerals) as the best alternative option.

Takinq Your Supplements with Your MedicationI am ofren asked "Can I take my nutritionals with my medications?" To this I respond with thisquestion, 'Can you eat?' I hope my point is made gently but clearly - nutritionat supplements simplycontain nutrients we should be getting from our foods, but at levels we can no longer obtain from ouifoods. lf you can eat anything, you can also take nutritional supplements. The oniy exception to thisis for those taking the medication, Coumadin Warfarin), which btocks vitamin K in the body as away of thinning the blood. lf a patient is on Coumadin, I recommend he or she take the CanadianEssentials and Canadian Active Calcium because they contain no Vitamin K. Also, patients who areon thyroid medication should take their medication on an empty stomach at least t hour prior tomeals or prior to taking supplements. Thyroid medication should not be taken with food or withsupplements because calcium can block the absorption of the medication.

APPENDIX C

Nutritional Recommendations for chitdrenUsana health Sciences has the best nutritional support tor all ages. I wjll detail myrecommendations ior cellular nutritional and for each optimizer according to age and weight.

Children aoes I to 4 vears of ade:I recommend giving the.se children 't usanimal daily. This may mean crushing the tablet and puttingin a drinking or spinkling it on some. lt is important lo also consider giving these children 1 tsp oioptomega daily.

Children aqes 5 to 8 vears of aoe:I recommend giving these children I Usanimat twice daily. I also recommend that they be tattrg J,lgp. of optomega and 1 Active Calcium tablet (or Active Calcium Chewable) daily.

41

ChiHren aoes 9 to 12I re.ommend giving these I to 2 body Rox daity depending on the weight of the child. lf they areover 75 pounds, I generally recommend that they should be taking 2 body Rox daity, tn this ageg.oup, I also recommend that they take 2 tsps of Optomega and 2 Active Calcium tabtets brChewable tablets daily.

Children aqes '13 to 18I recommend that these children take 3 Body Rox daily along with 3 to 4 Active Cabium tablets orChewable Active Calcium tablets. They shoutd also be taking 2 tsps of Optomega or 3 to 4Biomega-3. any adolescent in lhis age group who is suffering from a serious illnes,s ot weights morethan 120 pounds should also consider taking the Usana Essentiats.

OPTIMIZERSProflavanollI recommend giving children 1 to 2 mg of Proflavanol per pound per day (this is 3 to 5 mg perkilogram) in at least two divided doses. The smalter proflavanol tablet has 30 mg of proflavanoi ineach tablet, the Proflavanol 90 has 90 mg in each tabte. I have no hesitation in u;ing proftavanol inchildren who over 2 years of age. These tablets may be crushed and placed in a drink or food withno loss of potency.

COQUINONE 30I recommend giving children 1 to 2 mg of Coquinone per pound per day (this is 3 to S mg perkilogram) in divided doses. Each Coquinone 30 has 30 m9 of coquinone. This capsute may bepunctured and the contents squirted out into a drink or food with no loss of potency.

POLY CThere is a very safe range of using Poly C in children. However, I would only use ,1 daily in childrenunder 6 years of age and 2 to 4 daily in children over 7 years of age depending on the severity oftheir illness and their weight.
