Tim Russert’s death two years ago, June 2008, at just 58 years of age was deeply unsettling to many people who, like him, had been earnestly following their doctors’ advice on drugs, diet, nutrition and exercise in hopes of avoiding a heart attack.

I don’t know about you but I’m pretty sure you find Sunday mornings and “Meet the Press” just aren’t quite the same without his beaming face bringing us the inside stories of what is “really happening” in the corridors of power in Washington.

Just this month, a major research report came out that chillingly echoed the autopsy results into Tim Russert’s death.

If you’re taking a calcium supplement or know someone who is, read and forward today’s important Health Alert.

Excess Calcium could be Killing You

What killed Mr. Russert was a “plaque” rupture. A fatty, pimple-like lesion of plaque composed of fats, cholesterol and CALCIUM, residing in a coronary artery. The lesion burst and as the body attempted to repair it, a blood clot formed which blocked circulation to part of his heart muscle, causing a heart attack.

Unfortunately heart attacks happen all the time in the United States, impacting 1.2 million American’s each year, killing nearly one-half at of all sufferers.

In Mr. Russert’s case, the heart attack led to a second catastrophe, an abnormal heart rhythm that caused cardiac arrest and quickly killed him. An electric shock from a defibrillator might have restarted his heart if it had been given promptly when he collapsed at his desk. But it was apparently, tragically delayed.

A new meta-analysis research study published in the British Medical Journal on July 29th (just last week) proves that when calcium is taken alone, without it’s “partner” biofactors, the calcium accumulates in your arteries, increasing your risk of heart attack!

A CT scan of Mr Russert’s coronary arteries showed a dangerously high calcium score of 210, indicating artery disease. Healthy arteries do not have calcium deposits! Instead, the calcium is inside the bone marrow factory, where it should be, busy making strong bones, teeth, tendons, ligaments and muscles.

Major Study: 30% Greater Risk of Heart Attack

The new study, led by Professor Ian Reid at the University of Auckland, is a meta-analysis of 15 randomized trials on calcium supplements conducted in the last twenty years, with the aim to investigate the links between calcium supplementation and cardiovascular events.

From analyzing the data on 12,000 people involved in the 15 trials, the researchers found that calcium supplements actually increased the risk of myocardial infarctions (heart attacks) by 30 percent!

No wonder heart disease is our number one killer – we are killing ourselves when we think we’re saving ourselves!

Ninety (90%) percent of what we learn in our lifetime comes from what we see through our eyes.

Losing one’s eyesight is a frightening possibility for over 60% of the population. With more and more “baby boomers” moving into the retirement stage of life, this problem is alarming in its proportions and its implications.

If a friend or a loved one has Macular Degeneration or is at risk of losing their eyesight, please share today’s article and video with them.

There is hope for this tragic disease.

Nearly 18 Million Will Have Macular Degeneration by 2050

In a study funded by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, researchers report that as many as 9.1 million people will have age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in 2010, and nearly double this number at 17.8 million people, will have the potentially blinding eye disease by 2050.

“What we found is that due to aging, the number of cases of early and advanced AMD will increase dramatically no matter what,” said study author David Rein, PhD, senior research economist from RTI International in Research Triangle Park, N.C. “In 2050, we project there will be 1.57 million cases of blindness [caused by AMD] with no treatment. But, with vigorous treatment, that number’s just about 1 million.”

Age-related macular degeneration is a serious eye disease that causes the breakdown of the macula, which is located in the retina. The macula gives you clear central vision, which is essential for reading and driving, even for just seeing people’s faces. AMD is a leading cause of vision loss in people over 65, according to the American Academy of Ophthalmologists (AAO).

Nutritional therapy can benefit sufferers of Macular Degeneration

Macular Degeneration is caused by “exploding cells” within the retina. Cells that are literally falling apart from free radical damage. Drugs can’t fight this cellular breakdown, but Superfoods and Antioxidants can!

This science of fighting free radicals is something we specialize in, as it is the core of all our cancer protocols, because cellular breakdown is the initial cause of all forms of cancer.

In a major study at Johns Hopkins University of nearly 5,000 adults between the ages of 55 to 89 who were diagnosed with age-related macular degeneration, those given a daily supplement of Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Beta-Carotene, Zinc and Copper saw a reduction of 23% in the incidence of AMD.

The lead researchers stated that if people would take these simple antioxidants and minerals, it could prevent vision loss in 300,000 people over the next five years.

So what we did is take this knowledge and then take all the free-radical fighting Superfood Antioxidant compounds we knew of that were specifically targeted to the eyes, and put them into a special Macular Degeneration Formula called appropriately enough Vision Support.

Did you know that nearly everyone (statistically over 99% of us!) are deficient in vital Omega 3’s?

Omega fatty acids are a crucial component of life, yet our SAD (Standard American Diet) barely has any. Your brain, for example, is 70% fatty acids – without Omega fatty acids, your brain dehydrates.

Research suggests that Omega-3’s play a major role in combating most chronic illnesses, like depression, heart disease, Alzheimer’s, cancer, dementia, autism, ADHD, inflammation, and autoimmune diseases.

As a food-smart, nutrition-minded individual, you’ve probably been supplementing with fish oil for years. The latest research though, is frightening in its findings:

Fish-source Omega-3 can be dangerously high in Mercury!

According to a recent article in the NY Times, a sampling of tuna sushi from 20 restaurants and stores all had measurable levels of Mercury. In some of the restaurants, the level was so high, that just 6 pieces of sushi exceeded the “safe limit” set by EPA.

As even a negligible trace amount of Mercury can be highly dangerous, particularly to the brain, this is a matter of high importance to everyone.

That is why we have made the dramatic move to go totally “vegan” and non-seafood in our source of Omega-3 rich oils in our Omega 3/6/9 formula!

This new upgraded Omega fatty acid formula is a perfect blend of all the Omega’s needed by the body. And, it even has a higher quantity of Omega 3 compared to our previous fish-oil formula.

There’s no possibility of Mercury contamination, as the Omega’s come from Flax Seed Oil, Pumpkin Seed Oil and vegetable oils of the highest possible purity and strength.

The world’s most powerful Vitamin D-3 + K-2 formula just got even more powerful, bringing more health generating and healing power to the body! Put your seat-belts on and read all about it in today’s article.

This is Nutritional Dynamite!

For years I felt like a lone heretic on the clifftops shouting about the giant benefits of Vitamin D-3. If you are a regular reader of our newsletters, you know we’ve written what seems like a hundred articles on vitamin D. And then the world woke up! The importance of getting enough of the “Sunshine Vitamin” is now being touted by Dr. Oz and Oprah.

We have also been touting the benefits of another super vitamin/hormone, Vitamin K-2 for sometime as well. Just last week the famed Mayo Clinic released a study demonstrating that people with higher levels of vitamin K in their diet have a 45% lower risk of developing Non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Now, we are going to do it again!

The Genetic “Soup of Life”

Those of you who know me, know of my passion for the use of Minerals and Trace Minerals. Particularly ocean-sourced, ionic minerals which are identical to blood plasma as used in our famous Life Transfusion Liquid Mineral Complex formula.

Read my eBook: The Key to All Health and Healing (shown on the right) to learn more about these life-sustaining minerals.

I’ve always wanted to add these minerals to our Vitamin D3+K2 formula, and then out of the blue, Dr. John Cannell, the world’s leading spokesman for Vitamin D and Executive Director of the Vitamin D Council, came out with a major report showing that when vitamin D is combined with the minerals Magnesium, Boron and Zinc, they super-enhance the action of D-3 in the body.

KAPOW!

Can the fight against Arthritis have a happy ending? Even when your hands are frozen stiff and its excruciatingly painful to just lift a finger?

All of Italy wants you to read this story and rejoice.

Anna Marie Calabrese

“My name is Anna Marie Calabrese and I’m from Italy. My family is from the village of Toro in Compobasso, have you heard of it?

We all talk with our hands!

When we aren’t talking, we’re eating, and sometimes we do both at once. I raised my family around the kitchen table, eating and talking, that’s Italy.

Then my hands became frozen from arthritis. My fingers were like sticks. I couldn’t cook. And I couldn’t talk!

The pain was so bad that I couldn’t bend my fingers or make my pasta, my sauces or soups. It was so bad that sometimes I would cry.

Then my boy Michael told me about his friend Dr. Garland who had helped him. I refused to go to doctors – I don’t trust them. But Dr. G is different – a doctor who calls you back when you leave a message.

He listened to my story and said he’d fix me in no time. The man’s a saint. He sent me this bottle of pills in the mail – it was called “Celadrin”. My fingers moved again, I could hardly believe it. The pain disappeared in what seemed like just a few seconds.

Then a disaster occurred. I ran out! I didn’t want to bother my husband, he has so much to do, so I called Dr Garland myself and got him to send more of his Celadrin pills.

I was in tears waiting for the pills, but cried even more when the box arrived – because I knew my pain would be gone – and I could cook and talk with my hands once again.

Thank you Dr. G. This is a miracle, I’m going to tell the world.”
