Excerpt from "The Miraculous Health Properties of Vinegar' by J. Aubry.
Dr. Jarvis, noticing how healthy his cohabitants were he soon realised that cider vinegar, a traditional loval remedy, was largely responsible.
'We are talking about nonpasteurised cider vinegar made from ripe apples, and ideally from apples that have been organically grown...... In fact, for over two centuries many Vermonters had been in the habit of taking a daily tablespoon of cider vinegar, mixed with a tablespoon of nonpasteurised honey, dissolved in a glass of water. They claim the habit has many health
benefits....'
Jarvis says it is all a question of pH. Your pH level indicates the acid-alkaline balance of your system: your level of acidity compared to your level of alkalinity......'
'It comes down to eat more fruits, vegetables and whole grains; (which authorities are telling to do) to increase intake of acidic foods. That will have an alkalising effect on your system.
Reduce your intake of alkaline foods (which acidify your system when ingested): cut down on meat, legumes, tomatoes, oil and other types of fat, cheese, egg whites, processed foods and sugar.'

Avoiding Alzheimer's Disease
Whilst reading 'Woman's Weekly September 2007' I found the very interesting article 'Yasmin Aga Khan: a troubling legacy' by Dian Guernsey.
Yasmin daughter of Rita Hayworth, the beautiful Hollywood's impossibly beautiful red-haired actress, cared for her mother who, it was eventually discovered, had Alzheimer's disease.
Yasmin gave up her classical music and voice career to care for her mother and after her death in 1987 has spent time with"The Alzheimer's Association" which became her family. She appeared before the US Congress to argue for more research funding etc. and organised the first, hugely successful Rita Hayworth dinner and dance in 1984.
Dementia affects more than 200,000 people in Australia and 60% of those have Alzheimer's disease. Research suggests that dementia starts several decades before symptoms appear, "so the lifestyle choices you make now can help keep your brain healthy in later years", says Glenn Rees, national executive director of Alzheimer's Australia.
'Strategies include exercising at least three times a week to encourage blood flow to the brain; eating a diet high in fish, olive oil, nuts and anti-oxidant-rich foods eg. blueberries and broccoli; keeping neural pathways limber through activities such as crosswords, painting and reading; kicking bad habits, such as smoking.'
Mannatech Inc and founder Sam Caster, have produced glyconutrients and anti-oxidant products giving optimal health and wellness. Glyconutrients give the body's immune system the eight plant-based sugars it needs to function properly.

Seek Natural Sources
From Article as featured in Health & Living, V2,N7
'When synthetic chemicals were first introduced ihn the 1940's, doctors turned to synthetic hormones to help women control hormone-related symptoms. Everyone was assured that synthetic hormones were wonderful. They seemed to be the answer to the ravages of aging, heart disease and osteoporosis.
Recently, the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) study showed conclusively that hormone replacement therapy (HRT) doesn't do what the experts believed. In fact, the study showed that HRT actually increases the risk of heart disease and various cancers. While the study showed it does reduce bone fractures by 33% and colon cancer by 37%, HRT actually increases the incidence of breast cancer by 26%, heart attack by 29%, cardiovascular disease by 22%, stroke by 41% and blood clots by 100%.
Clearly the answer to help your body deal with hormone-related symptoms during each phase of your life is, as always, the answer is found in nature not the synthetic chemistry.'
Mannatech Inc. with the founder, Sam Caster, have produced within their glyconutrient Optimal Health Products, PLUS, which provides the glyconutrient support you need to help maintain menstrual health.

The Secret of Tomatoes!
We have all heard that tomatoes are good for prostate in men and much is said about the Mediterranean diet - attributed to the high number of one hundred year olds, particularly on the island of Crete. The olive oil is said to be the number one reason.
Latest research indicates that it is the tomato, rich in lycopene, which extends the life of the island's residents. (Lycopene also reduces the risk of prostate cancer by 40%, according to the work of W. Giovanuci, Harvard Medical School) However raw tomatoes and tomato juice contain lycopene that is difficult to absorb. Tomatoes must be prepared in a special way in order to take full advantage of their benefits.
Lycopene is in papaya (paw paw) and above all ripe tomatoes. Lycopene is absorbed by the classic route taken by carotenoids, says Dr. J. P. Willem in 'The Keys to Extraordinary Longevity'. 'Tomatoes cooked in the presence of lipids increases its absorption (stuffed tomatoes) and lipids liberate the most lycopene which can be directly assimilated by the body.' Lipid is a substance which has the general properties of fats, so I guess this is where the olive oil comes in to play.
Mannatech Inc. with founder Sam Caster, produced glyconutrients on a world wide scale.
Modern farming practices have dramatically compromised the nutritional value of many fruits and vegetables. And while experts agree that supplementation can provide the body with these missing nutrients, many supplements contain synthetic, chemically derived, mined or chelated minerals and vitamins that studies show are not readily absorbed or used by the body. Mannatech's supplements with glyconutrients give optimal health and well being.

Are You an Apple or a Pear?
Information from 'Win the War Within' by Floyd H. Chilton, Ph.D.
'If you are over weight or obese, the location of those extra pounds makes a big difference in the degree whole-body inflammation.
People who carry most of their excess weight around their middles (the so-called apple shape) release significantly more inflammatory messengers than those who carry most of their extra weight in their buttocks and thighs (the pear shape). It doesn't take a whole lot of fat in the wrong place to contribute to low levels of who-body inflammation. recent studies have demonstrated that even mildly obese people with abdominal fat are much more likely to develop inflammation that leads to coronary artery disease.
Abdominal obesity is generally considered to be a waist circumference, as measured around the navel, of greater than for 40 inches for men and 35 inches for women. It is the defining characteristic of metabolic syndrome, a condition that also may include high blood pressure, elevate cholesterol, and insulin resistance. An estimated 20-25 % of American adults already have metabolic syndrome, which is recognized as a major risk factor for heart disease and diabetes. Some research suggests that by the year 2020, metabolic syndrome may affect 40% of the U.S. population.
One of the main reasons that abdominal fat is thought to be so dangerous to your health is that it's located right next to your internal organs- most importantly, to your liver. The inflammatory messengers produced by abdominal fat are released directly into the portal vein, which feeds into the liver. This prompts the liver to produce more of its own inflammatory messengers, creating a vicious cycle.'

Undie Mundie for Cancer Awareness
Information from "Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia"
Did you hear or see about the world's biggest underpants? They were unveiled on the hallowed turf of the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Victoria, Australia. It happened on the Queen's Birthday Holiday Monday (1st Monday of June), to let all and sundry know about the risk of prostate cancer for Australian Men.
You see - they don't like going to visit the doctors! 'The fact that more than 2,900 men die each year from prostate cancer means that an Australian male dies from prostate cancer every three hours - and symbolically this was highlighted by the 3 pairs of the world's biggest undies.....
Melbourne Football Club Chairman, Mr. Paul Gardner, said dedicating the Queen's Birthday match to prostate cancer was important to the club, as many high profile former players were prostate cancer survivors'.
"Glyconutritionals, (including glyconutrients) including mannose, fucose and glucose, have been documented to be therapeutic and even life saving." - Royal Society of Medicine Conference, Glycobiology & Medicine, 2000......... There are myriad factors to ensure good health, and no nutrient stands alone, But clearly without cell-to-cell communication, you have no hope for good health because without communication (or signaling), there can be no function,' says Dr. Nugent.
Glyconutrients produced by Mannatech Inc and Sam Caster, are necessary in our body for cell-to-cell communication. Glyconutrients helps the body's cell function to do what they are designed to do.

Allergy at Springtime
Planting the right type of trees, flowers for a sneeze-free garden is a necessity for some allergy sufferers who endure unpleasant symptoms of hay fever each spring.
If you are a sufferer of allergies or asthma, here are three things you can do to improve the situation immediately:
- Don't go out into the garden on windy days when pollen is blowing everywhere. Conversely take care on hot still days because pollen hangs in the air.
- Keep weeds down as they produce lots of pollen
- Don't have your own compost heap. These are havens for fungi and spores which cause reactions.
Flowers are still okay although you should avoid all daisy-like flowers. There are still plenty of flowers to include in your garden. French lavender, roses gardenias, azaleas, jasmine, clematis and boronia are all ideal in the low-allergy garden. However each individual should discover if any of these will have an effect on you.
If you love a lawn then sow or lay buffalo grass or 'Greenlees Park' couch. Most grasses have a high pollen count and spell disaster for most hay fever and asthma sufferers. Perhaps it is best to let others mow the lawn or do it early in the morning when the dew is still present.
Trees to avoid are Wattle, Birch, Olive, Walnut, Maple, Oak, Privet, Cypress, Willow and Elm.
Mannatech's products PhytoMatrix, introduced last year by Chairman, Sam Caster, contains vitamins and phytochemicals. Glyconutrients in PhytoMatrix provides greater absorption of nutrients than other existing supplements technologies.
