Most medical practitioners do not understand how the body utilizes high concentrations of ascorbates (Vitamin C and it’s buffered variants). As a result clinical studies for Vitamin C are poorly designed and result in inadequate and misleading conclusions. Ultimately such misleading conclusions discourage medical practitioners from using vitamin-based treatments despite a growing number of studies with seemingly polar opposite conclusions that strongly promote the use of vitamin-based therapies and treatments. This is a globally important issue, since vitamin-based therapies provide the world with cheap and effective treatments that are readily available. Sadly those same therapies are widely disparaged because of an overwhelming amount of research inappropriately done in what I call the “dead zone”. Read more about this “dead zone” here: http://www.the-austins.com/Vitamin%20C%20Dead%20Zone.html

The modern medical society has gotten into the nasty habit of disparaging nutriceuticals. Nutriceuticals are “nutritional supplements” that actually have therapeutic value (like pharmaceuticals). They comprise many vitamins when taken in large doses, and many herbs (only the nutritional ones though). Many herbs are not nutriceuticals because they have no nutritional value are used like drugs, and are really no different than pharmaceutical drugs - and in most cases they are worse (imho). I don’t know why the concerted effort by medical societies to disparage nutriceuticals (for example: megadoses of vitamin C) but an in-depth analysis is enough to make a conspiracy theorist rabid. Indeed it seems many doctors have adopted a Hippocrates-be-damned philosophy when it comes to certain therapies. If it isn’t considered mainstream by their medical societies they’ll do their best to disparage it.

Fortunately for the rest of the world there are non-medical practitioners making unbelievable breakthroughs in the field of nutriceuticals. They’re chemists, biologists, nutritionalists, even double-laureate physicists. There is also a growing number of physicians who’ve decided patient health is more important than professional respect, and are starting to embrace nutriceutical research and treatments. One such person is Dr. Mark Miller of Albany Medical College.

Just today Dr. Tariq Haqqi confirmed that Dr. Miller’s Progrado is the first substance known to block the molecules responsible for cartilage damage in joints. Progrado is one of two substance Dr. Miller has extracted from a Brazilian rain forest tree that grows 30ft/year that has amazing antioxidant properties. In addition to treating the causes of arthritis and joint problems (instead of treating the symptoms) Progrado is also an antioxidant that is 6 times stronger than Vitamin C. Glucosamine, a $1 billion/year industry, comes closest to repairing cartilage and yet even it doesn’t even really compare. And, like Vitamin C, Dr. Miller’s treatment (called Reparagen ) is remarkably safe - you have to exceed 700 times the prescribed amount to reach toxic levels. There are so many benefits to these two substances from anti-aging to ulcer remediation that it’s approaching miracle-cure status among it’s users. Unfortunately you can’t use the word “cure” in an official setting because then the FDA considers it a “drug”, will regulate it, and the price will then go through the roof.

Dr. Miller has done tremendous research with regard to many other South American nutriceutical remedies that have also had astounding results. Take the Peruvian maca, a radish-like tuber that comprises a major part of the Peruvian diet, also called “Inca Gold”. Medicinal qualities were reported before Dr. Miller came along, but Dr. Miller through a leap of logic decided to feed them to fish (6% of the diet) to see how it dealt with hypoxia (a common prenatal problem), and after 100 days the biomass of the fish increased 800% compared to standard, through improved reproduction and better health. This has lead to human trials to observe similar phenomena with amazing results.

What makes these advances so remarkable? They are nutriceuticals. That means that by being nutritional supplements with the oldest track records in the world, products can be brought to market quickly. Dr. Miller has combined efforts with Paul Bobrowski of Rainforest Nutritionals to offer these supplements directly to the public so they can be obtained with as few middlemen as possible. He sells his Reparagen at a reasonable price at www.reparagen.com and Nutrazon at a reasonable price at www.nutrazon.com. As far as I can tell the nutrazon product is a better value. His plan, it seems is to use viral marketing techniques instead of big-buck pharmaceuticals to get the word out.

This is yet another example of a Hippocratic patient-oriented approach. Dr. Miller has patented the manufacturing process for extraction of these nutriceuticals as well as formulas designed for specific uses, however has not chosen to sell them to pharmaceutical companies who’d then pump the prices way up.

I’m convinced that we’ve just scratched the surface with all the benefits that nutriceuticals (and especially those in bio-diverse regions like south america) can bring us. If we can just get the information out to the consumer, and convince enough doctors to break away from their pharmaceutical kick then we’ll see a massive revolution in health that will result in a much healthier, happier, prosperous and productive world.

ps - if you want to enjoy the benefits of Dr. Miller’s work, you’ll get it best with his nutrazon fluid supplement, found at www.nutrazon.com . You can buy wholesale if you join, so I’d suggest you click “join” and in the application process (very simple) you’ll get an opportunity right then to buy the product. Note that joining costs $35, but if you buy a case (4 bottles) it pays for itself. All future orders will then be at wholesale. If you need a sponsor id use 100377.

The war on Terror costs money. Lots of it. It seems then that the best way to win the war on terror is to free up tons of money, making it available to the economy so the war on terror can be funded.

Where to get such money? Well, according to the results of a British researcher: http://torontosun.com/Lifestyle/2007/10/20/4590932-sun.html we could very likely solve heart disease problem cheaply and efficiently. Heart disease is the #1 killer in the United States. It costs Americans more money every year by far than does the Iraqi conflict. The wild thing is that tons of research backs up this claim the cheap doses of Vitamin E (an antioxidant), cheap resveratrol (another antioxidant), and cheap megadoses of Vitamin C can prevent, and even reverse the conditions that lead to heart attacks, and yet our “noble” allopathic tradition discourages it, claiming that it’s dangerous because it can give you diarrhea … or even worse: it might make you fart!

Oh! The horrors!

Meanwhile the war on terror is bankrupting the world, yet heart disease costs even more. Same thing with Cancer (costs more than the war on terror), which disease is also very treatable, very effectively by extremely cheap IV based ascorbate treatments (as high as 200 mg/day, but usually 70 mg twice/week is adequate). So if we started using these cheap treatments and reinvesting that money usually spent on Cancer and Heart Disease into the economy then we would have more than enough to pay for the War on Terror. Not to mention it would save 100,000,000’s lives every year worldwide - allowing the patients to live full and productive lives.

But then who’s going to pay for all the yachts? No wonder the AMA and your very own doctor frowns upon anything that has anything to do with Vitamin C. And so we’ll bankrupt the economy of the world. Just remember - it wasn’t the war that did it. It was the refusal to save money where money could have been saved.
