			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em><strong>It&#8217;s Back! (and even better&#8230;)</strong></em></p>
<p><a title="Miracle of Life anti-aging nutritional supplement formula" href="http://www.askdrgarland.com/shop/Miracle-of-Life.html"><strong>Miracle of Life</strong></a> is the crystallization of all my work in preventing disease these past 24 years.</p>
<p>The idea for it came from a period of deep contemplation and Eastern meditation using principles and techniques I learned while in the high mountain village of Shimla in northern India and at the Drum Mountain Monastery outside of Shanghai, China.</p>
<p>The formula literally jumped out of my head and  &#8220;wrote itself&#8221; down on my notepad.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.askdrgarland.com/shop/Miracle-of-Life.html"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3275" title="a photo of Wayne Garland's Miracle of Life anti-aging nutritional supplement formula" src="http://www.askdrgarland.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Miracle-of-Life-48-x640.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="640" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Miracle of Life</strong> incorporates electronically-charged <a title="Ionic trace minerals" href="http://www.askdrgarland.com/shop/Life-Transfusion-Liquid-Mineral-Complex.html">Ionic Minerals and Trace Minerals</a> in the same composition found in blood plasma. These are the foundation for all true health and longevity and they dramatically increase the cellular absorption of the natural compounds in the formula.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Anti-Aging/Longevity</strong> with Ashwagandha, Holy Basil, Resveratrol, American Ginseng and Eleuthero</li>
<li><strong>Memory &amp; Concentration</strong> compounds like Ginkgo Biloba, Acetyl-L-Carnitine and Subultiamine</li>
<li><strong>Infusion of RNA/DNA</strong> and cellular detoxification with Chlorella</li>
<li><strong>All-day energy</strong> (not false, hyped-up energy) from B-vitamins, Kokkorokou and Kelp</li>
<li><strong>Plus Vitamin D, Calcium, Magnesium &amp; Potassium</strong> for the cardiovascular system, strong bones and overall health and vitality</li>
<li><strong>And much, more</strong> from Mother Nature&#8217;s cupboard</li>
</ul>
<p>We all want to live a longer and healthier life and fend off feeling older for as long as possible. That&#8217;s why <strong>Miracle of Life</strong> was created. May you enjoy it as much as we did creating it.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Overuse of antibiotics in cows, chickens, pigs and other animals is leading to new strains of antibiotic-resistant “super bugs”. Meat producers feed some 25 million pounds of antibiotics (that's more than 3 times the amount prescribed to humans) to chickens, pigs and cows for non-therapeutic purposes each year.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) admitted last month during Congressional testimony that the overuse of antibiotics in cows, chickens, pigs and other animals is leading to new strains of antibiotic-resistant “super bugs”.</p>
<blockquote><p>“(The) USDA believes that it is likely that the use of antibiotics in animal agriculture does lead to some cases of antibacterial resistance among humans and in the animals themselves and it is important that these medically important antibiotics be used judiciously,”</p></blockquote>
<p>said Dr. John Clifford, USDA Deputy Administrator for Veterinary Services, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, in written testimony before the House Committee on Energy and Commerce’s Subcommittee on Health Hearing on Antibiotic Use in Animal Agriculture.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve reached the tipping point and antibiotics are now in our food supply, on your table for tonight&#8217;s meal most likely, or in that hamburger you grabbed for a quick lunch break.</p>
<p>According to a new study from the Union for Concerned Scientists, meat producers feed some<strong> 25 million pounds of antibiotics</strong> to chickens, pigs and cows for non-therapeutic purposes each year.</p>
<p>Stated another way, the amount of antibiotics fed to healthy animals is <strong>eight times greater</strong> than the amount given to sick people, which is 3 million pounds per year.</p>
<p><strong>Eight Times More!</strong></p>
<p><strong><span id="more-3268"></span><br />
</strong></p>
<p>Factory farms pump the antibiotics into healthy animals at such saturation levels that they automatically flow through to us humans. The report, <a title="Report - Hogging It: Estimates of Antimicrobial Abuse in Livestock" href="http://www.ucsusa.org/food_and_agriculture/science_and_impacts/impacts_industrial_agriculture/hogging-it-estimates-of.html">&#8220;Hogging It: Estimates of Antimicrobial Abuse in Livestock&#8221;</a>, states that the livestock industry feeds 10 million pounds of antibiotics to healthy hogs each year; 11 million pounds to poultry; and 4 million pounds to cattle.</p>
<p>What scientists now fear is that this antibiotic saturation of our meat supply means drugs not approved for use in humans are now turning up on our family table in the food we eat.</p>
<p><strong>70% of all Antibiotics are used on Farms</strong><br />
When most people get sick, they go to the doctor&#8217;s office and walk out with a prescription for antibiotics. But animals raised for meat are receiving antibiotics to speed up their growth and allow them to live in crowded pens, standing in urine and feces for their entire life.</p>
<p>The massive over prescription of antibiotics on animals is breeding new strains of antibiotic-resistant bacteria that can, and have, spread to humans. One such &#8220;super bug&#8221; is Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus or &#8220;MRSA&#8221; that is a growing problem in schools, hospitals, day care centers, locker rooms, public restrooms, and prisons.</p>
<p><em><strong>In fact, more people die in the U.S. from antibiotic-resistant staph infections like MRSA than from AIDS.</strong></em> And antibiotics continue to decline in effectiveness for treating both human and animal diseases.</p>
<p>Take a moment now to watch this short video with Katie Couric of CBS reporting on the problem.</p>

<p><strong><br />
</strong><br />
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is aware of the issue and in July issued a &#8220;<a title="FDA Draft Guidance: Judicious Use of Medically Important Antimicrobial Drugs in Food-Producing Animals; Availability" href="http://www.regulations.gov/search/Regs/home.html#documentDetail?R=0900006480b0c78d">draft guidance</a>&#8221; on the use of antibiotics for healthy animals, which unfortunately is non-binding (meaning non-effective) and does not go nearly far enough to stave off the coming public health disaster.</p>
<p>Critics say quite rightly it is just pandering to the big, deep pocketed livestock industry. Until the FDA implements effective and unambiguous regulations to curtail the use of antibiotics in meat production, the risks to the American public will only increase.</p>
<h4>How Bad Is It? &#8211; It is Really, Really Bad!</h4>
<p>A 2009 study from the University of Iowa found that 70% of hogs and 64% of workers in industrial animal confinements tested positive for MRSA, the antibiotic-resistant super bug mentioned above. Government officials now lamely admit that humans can become infected from eating or even handling infected meat.</p>
<p>Antibiotics fed routinely to livestock in their food and water promotes faster growth, but the practice is also used as a way to compensate for the effects of extreme overcrowding and unsanitary conditions in factory farms.</p>
<p>Big livestock producers argue that there are no alternatives, but that is not the case. In 1998, after growing worried about the spread of resistant bacteria in humans, Denmark banned antibiotics for non-therapeutic use in animals. Since then, the Danish livestock industry has grown 43%.</p>
<p>While the FDA&#8217;s draft guidance may have some good suggestions, entrenched interests like big livestock producers, will not respond to voluntary half measures.</p>
<h4>What Can You Do To Protect Yourself?</h4>

<h4>Streptococcus Thermophilus to the Rescue</h4>
<p>Over a century ago, in 1907, Russian biologist and Nobel Prize winner Elie Metchnikoff wrote about longevity research in his famous book &#8220;The Prolongation of Life&#8221;. The hero of the book was a probiotic bacterial strain called &#8220;Streptococcus thermophilus&#8221;, which was famous in scientific circles for promoting gastrointestinal health.</p>
<p>Streptococcus thermophilus, along with Lactobacillus bulgaricus, soon became the starter strains used to make yogurt. Every tiny tub of yogurt today owes its existence to these two amazing probiotic compounds. And they form the &#8220;core&#8221; of our new <a title="Ask Dr Garland: Probiotic Plus formula" href="../shop/Probiotic-Plus.html"><strong>Probiotic Plus</strong></a> formula.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Heart Disease is killing America! Yet there are places on Earth where heart disease is practically unheard of - like Japan. Why is this so? Learn their secrets for naturally lowering high blood pressure.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you have high blood pressure and want to get off the drug habit  controlling it, this is what you’ve been waiting for.</p>
<p>I have discovered a remarkable, all-natural substance that is just now being made available here in America that works like a “Roto-Rooter” to unclog arteries and bring down high blood pressure!</p>
<p><strong>Heart Disease is Killing America!</strong></p>
<p>High blood pressure and clogged arteries are the reasons. Yet there are places on Earth where heart disease is practically unheard of. Japan in particular has one of the lowest disease rates OF ANY DISEASE in the world. And one of the best track records for heart health and longevity.</p>
<p>Without using dangerous drugs.  Why is this so?</p>
<p>A lot of this can be attributed to their high fish and seafood consumption, (the Japanese invented Sushi after all!) which is incredibly high in Omega 3 fatty acids that fight heart disease.</p>
<p>But what’s even more intriguing is that they have one of the highest consumption rates of a soybean-based food called “Natto”. A mentor of mine, Dr. Jonathan Wright of Washington, first introduced me to <a title="Nattokinase Max Artery De-clogging formula" href="http://www.askdrgarland.com/shop/Nattokinase.html">Nattokinase</a>. Another revolutionary doctor, Dr. Julian Whittaker, also told me all about it.</p>
<h4>Nattokinase Helped Carl Bypass A Bypass</h4>
<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-903" style="margin: 10px;" title="Carl Crawford - Saved from Triple Bypass Surgery" src="http://www.askdrgarland.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/carl-186x300.jpg" alt="Carl Crawford - Saved from Triple Bypass Surgery" width="186" height="300" /></p>
<p>When I first learned of the amazing powers of Nattokinase, I would prepare it on the stove in my kitchen for my patients.</p>
<p>The very first one was Carl Crawford. His wife Annette called me as Carl was experiencing chest pains when working outside and tired all the time.<br />
<span style="background-position: 0% 0%;"> </span><br />
His doctor found that all three arteries supplying blood to the heart had clogged up!</p>
<p>Two were 100% totally clogged and another other with over 60%. Carl had a stent installed in the one with 60% blockage, but wanted to know what I could do to help!</p>
<p>Carl’s cholesterol level was over 600. (no, this is not a misprint) and his triglycerides were 1,233! (again, not a misprint)</p>
<p>After 1 week, Carl&#8217;s blood pressure, cholesterol and triglycerides all dropped dramatically.</p>
<p><a title="How Carl Bypassed a Bypass" href="http://www.askdrgarland.com/?p=1040" target="_blank">Click here to read the complete story of Carl&#8217;s recovery.</a></p>
<p><span id="more-83"></span></p>
<p><strong>Thank goodness I don&#8217;t have to make it on the stove anymore!</strong> Nattokinase is now available in capsule form from our certified manufacturing facility.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.askdrgarland.com/shop/Nattokinase.html"><img class="alignright" style="margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;" title="Dr. Wayne   Garland's Nattokinase natural artery De-Clogging formula" src="http://www.askdrgarland.com/shop/images/P/natto_max.jpg" alt="" width="120" height="210" /></a>Retail priced at $56.95, <a title="Ask Dr Garland: Preferred Membership Program" href="http://www.askdrgarland.com/?page_id=806">Preferred Members</a> save 26% at $42.97.</p>
<p>Natto is a fermented food that looks and tastes like cheese. It’s  made by adding spores of the beneficial bacteria “Bacillus natto” to  boiled soybeans. The Japanese have been eating Natto for at least 1,000  years. The average per capita annual consumption of Natto in Japan is  nearly 4.5 pounds. That’s a lot!</p>
<p>There’s a specialized enzyme in Natto, called <strong>&#8220;Nattokinase&#8221;</strong>,  and it is this enzyme that’s emerging as one of the most dramatic  breakthroughs for supporting healthy circulation and lowering blood  pressure.</p>
<p>Read my article, <a title="What is Nattokinase?" href="../?p=108">What is  Nattokinase?</a> if you want to know more about the discovery and  science behind this amazing nutrient.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong>CAUTION:</strong> Do not take this product if you are taking Coumadin (Warfarin) or other blood-thinning products. If you are pregnant or lactating, consult your health care professional before taking this product.</p>
<h4>Our Blood is the River of Life</h4>
<p>Healthy blood flow affects your circulation, blood pressure, and entire body. That’s because blood is the transport vehicle that delivers nutrients and oxygen to every cell in your body, carries antibodies where needed, sends the heat in your body out to your skin, and excretes waste products from your body.</p>
<p>You cannot be healthy without a healthy blood flow. But as we age, all the enzymes our body needs decline, including those that facilitate healthy blood flow by supporting normal clotting.</p>
<p>That’s why Nattokinase, with its ability to help promote healthy circulation, is such a miracle breakthrough.</p>
<p><a title="Nattokinase Clogged Artery Clearer" href="http://www.askdrgarland.com/shop/Nattokinase-Clogged-Artery-Clearer.html" target="_blank">Nattokinase</a> works in your blood vessels to support normal blood flow.</p>
<ul>
<li>It increases blood flow and blood viscosity.</li>
<li>Supports your body’s normal blood-clotting mechanisms.</li>
<li>Supports your body’s production of “Plasmin”, which reduces “Fibrin”.</li>
<li>Helps maintain normal blood pressure levels.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>No drug on the market can do all this!</strong></p>
<p><strong></strong>And unlike taking drugs and blood thinners, Nattokinase is working to “cure” the problem, not just “treat” the symptoms.</p>
<p><a title="Nattokinase Max Artery De-clogging formula" href="/shop/Nattokinase.html">Get yourself a bottle today!</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Imagine for just a moment, that your Liver was the Gulf Oil disaster. With poisons, oil and chemicals spilling uncontrollably through your body. This scenario is not so far-fetched.</p>
<p>Every single disease condition today begins in the liver.</p>
<p>Our poor Liver is the most neglected organ in our entire body and never considered, even when something goes wrong. Pharmaceutical drugs damage the Liver even further!</p>
<p>The Liver is like an oil filter in your automobile&#8217;s engine. It keeps the fluid (blood) clean so that the engine (body) can stay pure and healthy. We look after our automobiles better than we do our poor abused Liver, never giving it a thought while gorging on energy drinks, fast food, candy bars and whatever &#8220;miracle diet&#8221; of the month that comes along.</p>
<p><strong>Think I&#8217;m exaggerating? Take this quick quiz &#8211; do you have:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Abdominal bloating?</li>
<li>Pot belly of stomach fat?</li>
<li>Indigestion?</li>
<li>Overheating and sweats?</li>
<li>Bad breath and body odor?</li>
<li>Coated tongue?</li>
<li>Red itchy eyes?</li>
<li>Yellow skin or eye pupils?</li>
<li>Hot burning soles of the feet?</li>
<li>Skin rashes, particularly stubborn psoriasis?</li>
<li>High cholesterol?</li>
<li>Diets that never work for you?</li>
<li>Brown spots on the skin?</li>
<li>Persistent fatigue and foggy thinking?</li>
</ul>
<p>If you answered &#8220;Yes&#8221; to 4 or more questions, you have a serious liver and gall bladder problem.</p>
<p>If you answered &#8220;Yes&#8221; to 8 or more questions and/or had your gall bladder removed, you are in very serious trouble and should call me or your health care professional, immediately.<br />
<span id="more-3234"></span></p>
<h4>&#8220;Fatty Liver&#8221; &#8211; The Oil Spill in Your Body</h4>
<p>A &#8220;fatty&#8221; liver contains an excessive amount of fat from high fat foods like Big Macs, milk, cheese, pizzas and ice cream. And very possibly, a high daily intake of beer, wine, tequila, vodka or martinis.</p>
<p>Repeated intake of high fat foods and alcohol overcomes the liver, filling the liver cells and the spaces in the liver with fat, causing the liver to become dangerously enlarged and heavy. The liver changes from bright red in color to a yellow greasy appearance.</p>
<p>When this happens, the liver becomes painful to the touch in the upper right abdominal area. There may be gallstones composed of cholesterol and bile salts. It is often possible to see the excess fat in the liver in an ultrasound scan. There may also be elevation of the liver enzyme.</p>
<p>It is not a pretty picture by any means, but unfortunately a &#8220;fatty&#8221; liver affects a high percentage of all Americans today, even adolescents on high junk food diets.</p>
<p>Where do you think the epidemics of Diabetes, High Cholesterol, Heart Disease, all forms of Cancer, Immune Dysfunction and Obesity came from? <em><strong>Out of a fatty, poisoned, sluggish liver.</strong></em></p>

<p><em><strong>&#8220;The General of the Body&#8217;s Army&#8221; &#8211; In Charge of Battle Strategy &amp; Peace</strong><br />
&#8230; ancient Chinese medicine saying</em></p>
<p>When I was in Shanghai studying Traditional Chinese Medicine, a large political party type banner hung in the main lecture hall. It had big letters in black on red fabric. When I asked what it said in English, the old Professor Kong said it was the key to all treatments in Chinese medicine.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;The Liver is the general of the body&#8217;s Army, it fights invaders and also maintains Peace.&#8221;</em></p></blockquote>
<p>What I then discovered was incredible, particularly compared to Western medicine who never talk about the Liver, or consider it as being important, is that<em><strong> every disease today starts in the liver! </strong></em></p>

		<description><![CDATA[A new meta-analysis research study published in the British Medical Journal last week proves that when calcium is taken alone, without it's "partner" biofactors Magnesium, vitamins D and K, the calcium accumulates in your arteries, increasing your risk of heart attack instead of growing strong bones!]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-3221" style="margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;" title="A photo of Tim Russert, former host of NBC's Meet the Press" src="http://www.askdrgarland.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Tim_Russert.jpg" alt="" width="154" height="210" />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.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know about you but I&#8217;m pretty sure you find Sunday mornings and &#8220;Meet the Press&#8221; just aren&#8217;t quite the same without his beaming face bringing us the inside stories of what is &#8220;really happening&#8221; in the corridors of power in Washington.</p>
<p>Just this month, a major research report came out that chillingly echoed the autopsy results into Tim Russert&#8217;s death.</p>
<p><strong>If you&#8217;re taking a calcium supplement or know someone who is</strong>, read and forward today&#8217;s important Health Alert.</p>
<h4>Excess Calcium could be Killing You</h4>
<p>What killed Mr. Russert was a &#8220;plaque&#8221; 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.</p>
<p>Unfortunately heart attacks happen all the time in the United States, impacting 1.2 million American&#8217;s each year, <em><strong>killing nearly one-half at of all sufferers.</strong></em></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>A new meta-analysis research study published in the <a title="Research Study: Effect of calcium supplements on risk of myocardial infarction and cardiovascular events: meta-analysis" href="http://www.bmj.com/cgi/content/full/341/jul29_1/c3691">British Medical Journal</a> on July 29th (just last week) proves that when calcium is taken alone, <em><strong>without it&#8217;s &#8220;partner&#8221; biofactors</strong></em>, the calcium accumulates in your arteries, increasing your risk of heart attack!</p>
<p>A CT scan of Mr Russert&#8217;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.</p>
<h4>Major Study: 30% Greater Risk of Heart Attack</h4>
<p>The <a title="Research Study: Effect of calcium supplements on risk of myocardial infarction and cardiovascular events: meta-analysis" href="http://www.bmj.com/cgi/content/full/341/jul29_1/c3691">new study,</a> 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.</p>
<p>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!</p>
<p><em><strong>No wonder heart disease is our number one killer &#8211; we are killing ourselves when we think we&#8217;re saving ourselves!</strong></em><br />
<span id="more-3220"></span></p>
<h4>Calcium Conversion: The Miracle of Magnesium, Vitamin D-3 and K-2</h4>
<p>Those of you who know me or have heard me speak, you know all too well of my passion for minerals, particularly Magnesium. (If you have not read my book: <a title="Ask Dr Garland: Key to All Health &amp; Healing eBook" href="../?p=4">The Key to All Health and Healing</a>, I urge you to take a moment right now to download and read it.)</p>
<p><em><strong>Did you know that without Magnesium, it is impossible for the body to convert calcium into usable nutrient?</strong></em></p>
<p>Think of the body as an &#8220;ark&#8221; where everything goes in two by two. Each mineral has a partner and for calcium this partner is magnesium, potassium works with sodium, chromium works with vanadium and so on. Unless the support team is complete, disaster strikes. Such as what this major study has confirmed. And Tim Russert and thousand upon thousand of other poor souls losing their life also doubly confirms.</p>
<p>Once ignited by the magnesium, the calcium then needs the presence of vitamins D and K to do its total job.</p>
<p>No doubt you&#8217;ve heard me <a title="Ask Dr Garland: Articles about Vitamin D-3" href="../?s=%22vitamin%20d-3%22">preaching about vitamin D</a>, listened to <a title="Dr. Oz speaks out for Vitamin D" href="http://ask.doctoroz.com/topic/vitamin-d">Dr Oz</a> on Oprah or his new health show, or heard Dr. John Cannell, Executive Director of the <a title="The Vitamin D Council website" href="http://www.vitamindcouncil.org/">Vitamin D Council</a> on the radio &#8211; that&#8217;s how vitally important and newsworthy vitamin D has become.</p>
<p>But to many doctors and researchers, <a title="Ask Dr Garland: Vitamin K - The Forgotten Vitamin that Could Save Your Life" href="../?p=2479">Vitamin K is &#8220;the forgotten vitamin&#8221;</a>. But not to us! Think of vitamin K as the key that unlocks the door to the bones, letting calcium in. <strong>Without the key, calcium doesn&#8217;t get in.</strong> This is the final, finishing touch on the mysterious magic of the body in operation in remaking its bones and fueling bone marrow production.</p>
<h4>The Most Powerful D3 &amp; K2 Formula in the World</h4>
<p>This latest research study has created a hornet&#8217;s nest in the media, and what it clearly shows is a lack of education among doctors and a failure to protect their patients from sudden, fatal heart attacks like what happened to Tim Russert.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve been preaching about the necessity and importance of minerals and vitamin D for what seems like 20 years now, mostly to tone deaf ears in the medical establishment.</p>
<p><a title="Ask Dr Garland: Vitamin D3+K2 super formula" href="../shop/Vitamin-D3-K2.html"><img style="margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;" title="An image of Dr. Wayne Garland's Vitamin D3+K2 nutritional supplement with 5000 iu D3" src="../shop/images/P/P1000414.JPG" border="0" alt="An image of Dr. Wayne Garland's Vitamin D3+K2 nutritional supplement with 5000 iu D3" width="150" height="250" align="left" /></a>At the beginning of this year, we introduced a super-powerful vitamin D formula that is now being hailed as <a title="Ask Dr Garland: The World's Most Powerful Vitamin Pill - D3 + K2" href="../?p=2455">The World&#8217;s Most Powerful Vitamin Pill</a>, delivering incredible synergistic benefits ranging from building strong bones, improving cardiovascular health and antioxidant protection combining:</p>
<ul style="margin-left: 160px;">
<li> 5000 iu&#8217;s vitamin D-3 (cholecalciferol)</li>
<li>45 mg&#8217;s vitamin K2 (MK-7)</li>
<li>Magnesium, Boron, Zinc</li>

<p>Following the controversial study linking calcium consumption and increased risk of heart attack, Norwegian vitamin K supplier <a title="Interview: Nattopharma says calcium research highlights vitamin K role" href="http://www.nutraingredients.com/Research/NattoPharma-says-calcium-research-highlights-vitamin-K-role">NattoPharma was interviewed</a>, saying the research highlights the importance of vitamins D and K in the way the body processes calcium.</p>
<blockquote><p>“Vitamin D helps the body <strong><em>&#8220;absorb&#8221;</em></strong> calcium and vitamin K2 <em><strong>&#8220;activates&#8221;</strong></em> the proteins responsible for directing the calcium to the bones where we want it and out of the arteries where it can have detrimental negative effects,” said chief executive officer, Morten Sundstø.</p>

    Ellason Castiglione, Hot Springs, AR</p>
<p><em>&#8220;I tried prescription vitamin D and other supplements, but they didn&#8217;t have much effect. After only a month of taking your new D3+K2 formula, my vitamin D blood level rose from 48 to 99 ng/mL. My doctor was so impressed &#8211; he couldn&#8217;t believe it!&#8221;</em><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ninety (90%) percent of what we learn in our lifetime comes from what we see through our eyes.</p>
<p>Losing one&#8217;s eyesight is a frightening possibility for over 60% of the population. With more and more &#8220;baby boomers&#8221; moving into the retirement stage of life, this problem is alarming in its proportions and its implications.</p>
<p>If a friend or a loved one has Macular Degeneration or is at risk of losing their eyesight, please share today&#8217;s article and video with them.</p>
<p>There is hope for this tragic disease.</p>
<h4>Nearly 18 Million Will Have Macular Degeneration by 2050</h4>
<p><img style="margin-left: 10px;" title="A photo of an eye exam with an older woman" src="../wp-content/uploads/2009/05/eye_scan-150x100.jpg" alt="A photo of an eye exam with an older woman" width="150" height="100" align="right" />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.</p>
<blockquote><p>“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.”</p></blockquote>
<p>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). If you&#8217;d like to read the study, click here for the <a title="Forecasting Age-Related Macular Degeneration to 2050: Archives of Opthamalogogy" href="http://archopht.ama-assn.org/cgi/content/full/127/4/533?">April issue of the Archives of Ophthalmology</a>.</p>
<h4>Nutritional therapy can benefit sufferers of Macular Degeneration</h4>
<p>Macular Degeneration is caused by &#8220;exploding cells&#8221; within the retina. Cells that are literally falling apart from free radical damage. Drugs can&#8217;t fight this cellular breakdown, <strong>but Superfoods and Antioxidants can!</strong></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p><a title="Vision Support Macular Retina Rejuvenation formula" href="http://www.askdrgarland.com/shop/Vision-Support.html"><img style="margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;" title="An  image of Dr. Wayne Garland's Vision Support nutritional supplement" src="../shop/images/P/p-16168-01.jpg" alt="An image of Dr. Wayne Garland's Vision Support nutritional supplement" width="100" height="175" align="left" /></a>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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 <a title="Ask Dr Garland: Vision Support Macular Retina Therapy Formula" href="../shop/Vision-Support.html"><strong>Vision Support</strong></a>.<br />
<span id="more-3205"></span><br />
<strong>Does it really work?</strong></p>
<p>I asked Gilbert Gonzalez, a long, long time customer and friend, who starting using our Vision Support formula in 1999, share with you his experience:</p>
<blockquote>
<div id="attachment_3215" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><img class="size-full wp-image-3215 " title="A photo of Gilbert Gonzalez" src="http://www.askdrgarland.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/gil_gonzalez_270x367.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="257" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Gilbert Gonzalez</p></div>
<p>I am a Hospital Lab Specialist which requires acute accurate vision and one day I noticed a strange visual perception that appeared as a small ~v~ in the middle of my vision. I didn&#8217;t attempt anymore lab testing until I saw my Ophthalmologist a few days later. He diagnosed it as &#8220;Macular Degeneration&#8221; and sent me to a specialist two weeks later who confirmed his diagnosis.</p>
<p>The specialist told me there isn&#8217;t any treatment for Macular Degeneration. He went further to say that sometimes it progresses slowly and sometimes it goes fast. Either way, I would go blind because of it. My wife and I were very upset – not only for my future as a blind person, but also my career as a Lab Technician would be over. Our financial future was as unclear as my vision.</p>
<p>On the drive home from the specialist&#8217;s office, I remembered I had some of Dr. Garland&#8217;s &#8220;Vision Support&#8221; at home. (I had never taken them before, as they were part of a sampler kit I had purchased some time before.) I decided to start taking them and see what would happen.</p>
<p>I immediately took six capsules and then would then take two capsules in the morning, noon and evening thereafter. Within the week, my vision had returned to it&#8217;s normal state.</p>
<p>When I returned to the specialist I showed him what I was taking and explained what had happened. He became really antagonistic, saying this had not been approved by the FDA (vitamins and natural herbs are not &#8220;approved&#8221; by the FDA), had not been sufficiently tested and I was risking my life taking such things.</p>
<p>Well, I am here to tell you that if I had not started taking the Vision Formula all these years ago, I would be blind today. Instead, not only am I able to see, I even decreased my prescription for my glasses, as my farsightedness improved as well.</p>
<p>I believe these formulas are a God-send.</p>

<p>Last month we introduced an extraordinary new formula called <a title="Ask Dr Garland: Age-Less Rx anti-inflammatory formula" href="../shop/AgeLess.html"><strong>Age-<em>Less</em> Rx</strong></a>, that we think has the capability to &#8220;turn back the hands of time,&#8221; by lowering inflammation at the cellular level.</p>
<p>Our news report <a title="Inflammation: The Secret Killer - article by Dr. Wayne Garland" href="../?p=3062"><strong>Inflammation: The Secret Killer</strong></a>, shares an in-depth analysis about chronic inflammation and how it may be the engine that drives many of the most feared illnesses of middle and old age. If you missed the article, I urge you click on the link above and take a few minutes right now to read it.</p>
<p>In last Friday&#8217;s newsletter, <strong><a title="Dr Adaptogenics will see you now - Article by Dr. Wayne Garland about Holy Basil" href="../?p=3172">&#8220;Dr. Adaptogenics will see you now&#8221;</a></strong> we introduced you to the lead ingredient in Age-Less Rx, <strong>Holy Basil</strong>, revered throughout India, the East and Ayurvedic medicine for its extensive adaptogenic powers.</p>
<p>We are so excited about what this formula can do, that when Amy&#8217;s email came in, we just had to share it with everyone!</p>
<blockquote><p>Dear Dr. Garland,</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been taking your new Age-Less formula for 3 weeks now and it is dynamite! The Miracle of Life formula is out of stock and Age-Less has picked up right where Miracle has left off &#8212; well almost anyway.</p>
<p><img style="margin-right: 10px;" title="A photo of Amy Wolfe" src="../wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Amy-Wolfe_270x375.jpg" alt="A photo of Amy Wolfe" width="200" height="278" align="left" />First off, I&#8217;m an active person and all of your products work extremely well, however, Age-Less has given me an unbelievable recovery from workouts. I enjoy running the soccer fields and then lifting weights. I&#8217;m bench pressing 10 more pounds than last week and am not sore at all &#8211; I expected to be a little sore the next day, but that is not the case. I&#8217;m running faster and once again, expecting to feel discomfort and it&#8217;s not there.</p>
<p>Age-Less not only helps to preserve your body from the inside out, but another fantastic benefit I&#8217;ve experienced is more energy for sex. I&#8217;m motivated, it&#8217;s on my mind, and makes me happy.</p>
<p>I love this product! I can&#8217;t wait until Miracle of Life is back in stock &#8211; these two products together will be amazing.</p>
<p>Dr. Garland you are brilliant! Keep on amazing us&#8230; you do it well!</p>
<p>Amy Wolfe<br />
Newark, DE</p></blockquote>
<p><a title="Ask Dr Garland: Age-Less Rx anti-inflammatory formula" href="shop/AgeLess.html">Try it for yourself</a>, as Amy says so well, <strong><em>&#8220;this stuff is dynamite in a bottle!&#8221;</em></strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Probably the most crucial moment in my strange long journey to beat cancer, was the moment I walked into the high mountain village of “Shimla” in northern India over 24 years ago.</p>
<p>The venerable old professor at the Hahhneman University in Bombay (now called “Mumbai”) had pressed a letter into my hand that would introduce me to a little-known healing center and place of Hindu religion that he felt would benefit me in my fight.</p>
<p>All he would say was, <strong><em>“we’ve done all we can for you, now you need go meet the Holy Basil.”</em></strong></p>
<p>When you’re fighting cancer, if someone suggests dancing with dolphins, you do it, since as we all know life can turn on a dime. So off I trudged by rickety train and bumpy bus for eight days and nights to Shimla, where part of me still resides, high up in the Himalayas and as close to God as you can get I think, in a physical sense.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-3182" style="margin-right: 10px;" title="A photo of the Kalibari Temple of Shimla" src="http://www.askdrgarland.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Kalibari-temple-shimla.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="300" />Maybe it was the altitude, but my head was spinning and struggling to cope with the amazing surroundings. The address on the notepaper got me to a pale blue temple up a side street with a yellow painting of a diety on the outside.</p>
<p>This diety I learned was Lord Vishnu, the Preserver or Sustainer of life in Hindu religion, the Supreme Lord. For thousands of years, he has been revered and prayed to as the source of all Peace and Truth. No wonder I was sent there!</p>
<p><em><strong>I met the Holy Basil my first day at the temple, but I didn&#8217;t know it.</strong></em></p>
<p>In the days, weeks and then months that I lived there, every split second helped me heal and in every possible way; mentally, spiritually and also physically. I consumed mysterious herbs, teas and tinctures that are an integral part of Lord Vishnu’s philosophy. It was like I entered a very special “Healing Zone” where other-worldly powers took over and enveloped my every second.</p>
<p>What the disciples taught me so well was the power of “adaptogenics” in coping with the maelstrom of life around us. And how to arrive at a state of calm in the midst of a storm, whether mentally, spiritually or physically.</p>
<p>This was done through what we ate, what we thought and what we prayed. It was done through meditation, to arrive at place and a state of calm and reflection that washed away the stress and the noise and clamor of daily life.</p>
<p>Everyday at the temple we consumed countless cups and bowls of special teas and soups and curries that contained the supreme herbs in all of Ayurvedic medicine, practiced in India and Asia since time immemorial.</p>
<p>And then it hit me. I kept waiting and wondering when I was going to meet this amazing doctor, the Holy Basil, that would help me in the final step of my healing and recovery.</p>
<p><em><strong>It turns out the old professor wanted me to meet a plant!</strong></em><br />
<strong><span id="more-3172"></span><br />
</strong></p>
<h4>Holy Basil &#8211; The Queen of Herbs</h4>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-3173" style="margin: 10px;" title="Tulsi" src="http://www.askdrgarland.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Tulsi.jpg" alt="a photo of Tusli (Holy Basil) plant" width="274" height="222" /> The sanskrit word for Holy Basil is Rasayana, meaning juice or elixir. Rasayanas are herbs used to rejuvenate or change degenerative processes that lead to disease. Native to India, Holy Basil is also known as <a title="Organic India: What is Tulsi?" href="http://www.organicindia.com/tulsi-facts.php">Tulsi</a> or &#8220;The Incomparable One&#8221;.</p>
<p>Revered in India for over five thousand years and a sacred symbol in Hindu religious tradition, a Hindu household is considered incomplete if it doesn’t have a Tulsi plant in the courtyard.</p>
<p>Apart from its religious significance Tulsi is renowned for its restorative powers, as it is a rich antioxidant and one of the most effective adaptogens known. I didn&#8217;t realize it at the time, but the teas and soups the disciples were feeding me were loaded with Tulsi, restoring my adaptogenic abilities at the cellular level, while teaching me methods to &#8220;adapt&#8221; and manage stress externally.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">As defined in <a title="Wikipedia: Adaptogen" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptogen">Wikipedia</a>, <em>&#8220;Adaptogenic substances are stated to have the capacity to normalize body functions and strengthen systems compromised by stress. They are reported to have a protective effect on health against a wide variety of environmental assaults and emotional conditions&#8221;</em> [EMEA/HMPC/102655/2007]</p>
<p>This is the highest level of medicine in both India and China and indeed in all of the East. It means that it literally re-programs the body and the mind (and spirit) to “adapt” to the situation around it and remain in control, in full power of all abilities.</p>
<p>In fighting something like cancer, this is an extraordinary adjunct to any treatment and totally unknown to modern day oncologists, who can only grapple with clumsy chemotherapy drugs and radiation. It is health in another dimension.</p>
<blockquote><p>According to Dr. Ralph Miller, former Director of Research for the Canadian Dept. of Health and Welfare states,</p>
<p>&#8220;Modern scientific research offers impressive evidence that Tulsi reduces stress, enhances stamina, relieves inflammation, lowers cholesterol, eliminates toxins, protects against radiation, prevents gastric ulcers, lowers fevers, improves digestion and provides a rich supply of antioxidants and other nutrients. Tulsi is especially effective in supporting the heart, blood vessels, liver and lungs and also regulates blood pressure and blood sugar.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Studies have also shown that Tulsi has <a title="Wikipedia: Cox-2 Inhibitor" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cox-2_inhibitor">Cox-2 Inhibitor</a> qualities, acting like a herbal Celebrex to dramatically reduce cellular inflammation, which in turn leads to a reduction in everyday aches and pains, normalizing your blood glucose, and imparting a highly positive benefit to your mental outlook.</p>
<h4>What if you could Age &#8220;<em>Less&#8221;?</em></h4>
<p>It has been my dream since way back then to have a special “High Healing Formula” that would use the amazing herbs from the Ayurvedic medicine kingdom, without having to ride a bone-rattling bus or creaking old train for days to get to Shimla.</p>
<p>It brings me much joy and pride to sit and talk to you about these amazing adaptogenic marvels and also to be able to bring them to you over the years.</p>
<p>There are thousands and thousands of nutritional formulas available today, and barely a day goes by without Kevin Trudeau popping up in an infomercial with some amazing new discovery or another. This is not one of those, no &#8211; far from it.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Omega fatty acids are a "essential" for life, and without them, our brains shrivel up like a raisin. You've probably been supplementing with fish oil, a wonderful source of Omega-3, but with concerns about contamination of our oceans, particularly mercury poisoning, our new Omega 3/6/9 formula is from 100 % plant-oils of the highest possible purity and strength.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Did you know that nearly everyone (statistically over 99% of us!) are deficient in vital Omega 3&#8217;s?</strong></p>
<p>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 &#8211; without Omega fatty acids, your brain dehydrates.</p>
<p>Research suggests that Omega-3&#8217;s play a major role in combating most chronic illnesses, like depression, heart disease, Alzheimer&#8217;s, cancer, dementia, autism, ADHD, inflammation, and autoimmune diseases.</p>
<p>As a food-smart, nutrition-minded individual, you&#8217;ve probably been supplementing with fish oil for years. The latest research though, is frightening in its findings:</p>
<p><strong>Fish-source Omega-3 can be dangerously high in Mercury!</strong></p>
<p>According to a <a title="NY Times article: High Mercury Levels found in Tuna Sushi" href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/23/dining/23sushi.html" target="_blank">recent article in the NY Times</a>, 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 &#8220;safe limit&#8221; set by EPA.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.askdrgarland.com/shop/Omega-3-6-9.html"><img class="alignright" title="a small image of Dr Wayne Garland's Omega 3/6/9 plant-based fatty acids formula" src="http://www.askdrgarland.com/shop/images/P/Omega3-6-9.jpg" alt="" width="120" height="181" /></a>That is why we have made the dramatic move to go totally &#8220;vegan&#8221; and non-seafood in our source of Omega-3 rich oils in our <a title="Ask Dr Garland: Omega 3/6/9 Fatty Acids formula" href="http://www.askdrgarland.com/shop/Omega-3-6-9.html">Omega 3/6/9 formula</a>!</p>
<p>This new upgraded Omega fatty acid formula is a perfect blend of all the Omega&#8217;s needed by the body. And, it even has a higher quantity of Omega 3 compared to our previous fish-oil formula.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s no possibility of Mercury contamination, as the Omega&#8217;s come from Flax Seed Oil, Pumpkin Seed Oil and vegetable oils of the highest possible purity and strength.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Listen to this radio interview with John Cannell, MD and Executive Director of the Vitamin D Council, sharing information about vitamin D deficiency and the simple steps you can take to protect yourself.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_2499" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 150px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2499 " title="a photo of John Cannell, Executive Director of the Vitamin D Council" src="http://www.askdrgarland.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/John-Cannell-MD-220px-200x300.jpg" alt="" width="140" height="210" /><p class="wp-caption-text">John Cannell, MD - Executive Director of the Vitamin D Council</p></div>
<p>I happened to turn on the radio Sunday morning and I instantly recognized the voice. Being interviewed was John Cannell, MD, Executive Director of the <a title="Vitamin D Council website" href="http://www.vitamindcouncil.org">Vitamin D Council</a>, the foremost authority on vitamin D worldwide.</p>
<p>He was participating in a talk show interview with Katherine Albrecht, sharing amazing statistics, facts and insights into vitamin D deficiency. For example, <strong>did you know that 99+% of all pregnant women in America are deficient in vitamin D?</strong></p>
<p>Do you know someone who is pregnant and about to have a child? Or at the other end of the life spectrum, do you know someone showing the initial signs of Alzheimer&#8217;s?</p>
<p>There&#8217;s a common link to both these totally diverse conditions: <strong>Vitamin D-3!</strong></p>
<p>Vitamin D-3 is absolutely critical to a fetus&#8217; development during pregnancy, and also lowers pregnancy complications, including gestational diabetes, preterm birth, and infection. According to a new research study by the Medical University of South Carolina, women who take 4,000 IU of vitamin D-3 daily in their second and third trimesters had one-half the incidence of pregnancy-related complications compared to women who took 400 IU of vitamin D every day, says neonatologist and study co-researcher Carol L. Wagner.</p>
<p>Vitamin D-3 also is beneficial for individuals suffering from Alzheimer&#8217;s, playing a role of helping to clear amyloid beta proteins which form the plaques that lead to Alzheimer&#8217;s.</p>
<p>For years you&#8217;ve heard me talk excitedly about about <a title="Articles by Dr. Wayne Garland about Curcumin, a super antioxidant from Turmeric" href="http://www.askdrgarland.com/?s=curcumin">Curcumin</a>, the ultra-powerful antioxidant compound from the Turmeric root, and how it shows promise in breaking down these plaques, well just last week scientists at UCLA and UC Riverside published their research findings in the <a title="Journal of Alzheimer's Disease" href="http://www.j-alz.com/">Journal of Alzheimer&#8217;s Disease</a> showing that <strong>combining Vitamin D and Curcumin</strong> for Alzheimer&#8217;s patients, may work better than either compound alone.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;We hope that vitamin D3 and curcumin, both naturally occurring nutrients, may offer new preventive and treatment possibilities for Alzheimer&#8217;s disease,&#8221; said Dr. Milan Fiala, study author and a researcher at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and the Veterans Affairs Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System.</p></blockquote>
<p>The team discovered that curcuminoids enhanced the surface binding of amyloid beta to macrophages and that vitamin D strongly stimulated the uptake and absorption of amyloid beta in macrophages in a majority of patients.</p>
<h4><span id="more-3153"></span></h4>
<h4>Listen to Dr. Cannell&#8217;s Radio Interview</h4>
<p>Today you can sit back and listen to the world&#8217;s leading expert on Vitamin D-3 as he explains the extraordinary life-generating powers of this gift from God and why everyone needs it, every single day.</p>

<p>Dr. Cannell advises adults get a minimum of 5,000 iu&#8217;s of vitamin D-3 daily to meet the body&#8217;s basic requirements (and children need 1,000 iu&#8217;s per 25 lbs of bodyweight).
