How much improved nutrition do I need?

I hear this constantly and get up to 50 E-mails a day making this simple inquiry. This is not an unreasonable question, and the accurate answer is, "What works or enough." That is not an evasion. It is the nature of nutrition as compared to toxic prescription drugs that have doses. See Nutrition Against Disease, pub. 1971, Roger J. WIlliams, Ph.D., first chapter. On reading this book you will be ahead of 99% of the world of science, nutrition and medicine regarding this issue. If a person can eat food, they can take dietary supplements. Micronutrients are concentrated food and not medications or herbs (folk pharmaceuticals) and they support biochemistry and physiology. Supplementation is not the treatment of disease and does not cure disease. "The body heals itself and nutrition provides the resources to accomplish the task," R. J. Williams.  Orthodox drug centered medicine cannot accept this simple, safe, effective and low cost fact.

We are amazed from time to time at how little of the supplements it takes, as well as the huge amounts it requires to support a health restoration in several individuals that appear to have the same health challenge. This is just as Dr. Williams observed decades ago in his research cited above. The amount on the labels for the supplements has been noted to provide excellent dietary support in healthy people with a good family history for large numbers of individuals (G Kaats 2000). For abnormal conditions and even serious problems the amount on the label has benefited some persons, but usually it takes significantly more. A reasonable place to start trying to identify the least amount that works, is about twice on the label and to increase the Ambrotose only weekly, if not responding. Some have found increasing the other supplements is more beneficial, as the phytochemicals in macular degeneration and other visual challenges, phytogenins in seizures and hot flashes, the supplement with chromium needed to synthesize insulin as in diabetes. Others do not feel they have weeks or months to spare and may want to start on the next intake called the serious protocol.

A Plan for very serious conditions or to initiate supplement use in a chronic condition to be used as a starting point follows: Very important, supplements are not designed to substitute for medical care or standard therapy. However, as the DSHEA law of the land states, "nutrition is essential for good health, to prevent disease and restore health." We have seen countless times standard therapy works better if nutrition is optimized. Remember, some people require less, others need more supplement and not everyone responds to improved nutrition.

Adults- General health challenges, especially in autoimmune diseases and allergies use the CLASSIC Ambrotose. 2 tsp. bulk Ambrotose mixed 1:1 with granular soy lecithin in juices with meals and at bedtime i.e 4 times a day. (Our most extensive experience has been with Lewis Lab's Lecithin available at many health food stores. It has a good content of phosphatidyl inositol. This is an emulsifier that increases GI absorption of complex polysaccharides and has other nutrient benefits.

With this also add each time Ambrotose is taken: 1/4 tsp bulk Phytaloe, 1 Sport capsule content or Plus tablet, 1 Catalyst or Phytomatrix.

In MALIGANCIES and chronic infections, especially viral, choose the ADVANCED AMBROTOSE and use the same amounts as above.

In some cases sucking on 3-4 Immunostart per day may boost defense mechanisms against infections or abnormal cells. I have reports of broad benefits using Immunostart, even crushed, for newborns and children with development and gene defects when added to formula.

If not responding in two weeks add 1 or 2 Ambrotose A-O 4 times a day.

Some believe all products work better if the gut has 2 Mannacleanse a day. You need 8 oz fluid per tab if this seems to improve the response and sense of well being. Evidence is available and is increasing that indicates the Wellness Water ("Hunza" water) increases absorption and delivery of nutrients to cells and removal of wastes and toxins.

For those in coma, 1 tsp. per hour bulk Classic Ambrotose per their feeding tube has awakened brain damaged patients in 72 hours to 5 days. Some do not respond as is true for all conditions.

Children-  ( A starting place for servings.)

Half the Ambrotose and Phytaloe as indicted above. Sport can be swallowed better than PLUS and it easier to use for tube feedings and to add to something a child likes.

You can mix Classic Ambrotose, Phytaloe and content of Sport powders in fluids, drinks, fruit nectar, pudding, food desired ----  much like the drug companies do their chemical powders into syrups that are also made into injections, tablets and capsules.   I suggest that Immunostart be crushed and given too.  Honey, jellies and jams are a good carrier or anything the child likes.   Autistic children are the worse challenge and mothers make it into Jello and ice cream calculating the amount needed to get into the patient per serving.

Glycobears and Mannabears are made for children and replace Catalyst or Glycesentials and Phytomatrix used in adults.

Infants-To 8 oz of formula, add 1 tsp. bulk Classic Ambrotose, 1 capsule content of SPORT and AO, ¼ tsp Phytaloe bulk.

Miscelaneous applications: If there is local pain, joint or tendon pain, muscle pain, chronic back or shoulder pain, many have benefited from Freddie's MUD. Mix 1 tsp FIRM with the content of 1 capsule of SPORT and an Ambrotose AO. Apply heavily and wrap with plastic wrap to keep it from drying out. I have found the shirt sack from the cleaners works better than anything else. The young or infants may require thin kitchen wrap. Do this nightly and every night for 2 weeks is a fair trial.

We hear from a number of seriously ill people who for various reasons cannot consume oral micronutrients. YOU CANNOT GIVE THESE FOOD PRODUCTS I.V.! They are not sterile or totally soluble, and under the microscope look like tossed salad mixed with Hungarian gulosh. Some report improvements in an ability to take oral supplements by putting small amounts of Ambrotose under the tongue or in the cheek like a mint. This is reported as especially effective for early sore throats, impending viral infections and gum disease.

A number of individuals who desperately want to live and cannot swallow have claimed to successfully mix the amounts above with 30 to 50 cc saline and taken it as a retention enema each time an oral intake is indicated. The colon absorbs ingredients well and some think the response improves and it is better than by oral intake.(?) A 50 cc smooth bore aspiration syringe from a medical supplier is said to work fine. This is reported to be very good for prostate, rectal and urinary bladder conditions.

You need to know that the younger started the better the response in children. In cancer patients, starting the above program even before the biopsy and continuing daily in parallel with any and all therapy is reported to improve quality of life. G. Hyland, M.D., a Mayo trained oncologist reported on 100 cancer patients that it also makes radiation and chemo work better.  See the Cancer Syllabus at Fisher Institute (9720 660-1733 or Helen@fisherinsititute.org or the video tape at Duplipack (duplipack@aol.com) for better understanding. People respond better when they know why and what is going on. In this educational material you will find the rationale and mechanisms that explain why taking dietary supplements is not the treatment or a means to cure disease. The genes contain instructions written in DNA much like a computer program that constitute the code of life that is expressed by cellular synthesis. Dietary supplementation simply improves the resources required for cellular synthesis of compounds that conduct defense, repair, regeneration, healing, and balance within cells and organs.

My prayer is that this guide may serve as a resource for countless messengers as they go about their daily "angel work".  May you find a sense of joy and fulfillment never known in life before receipt of this special empowerment that has been present in nature since Creation. Nutrition supports the engineering and design of life coded in genes. Thus, improved nutrition is not the treatment or cure of a disease.
