Drug Efficacy: Trial by Error…. 2003
Dr. Allen Roses, worldwide vice-president of
genetics at GlaxoSmithKline, recently
commented about the dreadful state of affairs for
patients taking prescription medications.
Namely, drugs are frequently ineffective for huge
swaths of the population.
"The vast majority of drugs - more than 90
per cent - only work in 30 or 50 per cent of the
people," Dr Roses said. "I wouldn’t say that
most drugs don’t work. I would say that most
drugs work in 30 to 50 per cent of people.
Drugs out there on the market work, but they
don’t work in everybody.“

Antioxidants have extra electrons and can
neutralize free radicals
Cell Destruction / Cell Regeneration
Oxidative stress is when a molecule looses and electron and
creates a free radical the causes are:
•Poor diet
•Drugs
•Vaccinations
•Pollution
•Injury
•Natural aging
•Stress
In conclusion, oxidant/antioxidant balances were changed in
fibromyalgia. Increased free radical levels may be responsible
for the development of fibromyalgia. These findings may
support the hypothesis of fibromyalgia as an oxidative disorder.

Cortisol Vital
Short term vs Deadly Long term

levels of circulating cortisol
•Impaired cognitive performance
•Dampened thyroid function
•Blood sugar imbalances
•Decreased bone density

•Elevated blood pressure
•Lowered immune function
•Slow wound healing
•Increased abdominal fat

adrenal hormone :

All polyunsaturated oils provide a source of

vegetable oils constricts blood vessels and
increases platelet stickiness, which raises
blood pressure and causes further damage
to arterial walls.

Fluoride as a Medical Intervention for
Hyperthyroid
The use of fluoride as an anti-thyroid treatment beginning in
the 1800s linking fluoride ingestion to goiter, a swelling of the
thyroid gland resulting from a hypothyroid condition.
Up until the 1970s, scientists in Europe prescribed fluoride to
reduce the basal metabolism rate in patients with an over-
active thyroid gland
doses of just 2 to 3 milligrams of fluoride is sufficient to
reduce thyroid activity in hyperthyroid patients

juicing removes the indigestible fiber, so nutrients are available
to the body in much larger quantities than if the piece of fruit or
vegetable was eaten whole.
when you eat a raw carrot, you are only able to assimilate about
1% of the available beta carotene. When a carrot is juiced,
removing the fiber, nearly 100% of the beta carotene can be
assimilated.

Male fertility has reduced 70% in 10 years
Alzheimers = diabetes of the brain
MS is a gut issue linked to cortisol
Osteoporosis = autoimmune system disease caused by systemic inflammation
Low Cortisol increases inflammation
CFS, Fibromyalgia, = low cortisol levels
Steroids cause low adrenal function
Female Cortisol levels can be lowered 50% within 5 min. with a quiet room and
string music and deep breathing
Connecting with others (social Interaction),Yoga, lowers cortisol
Vit C suppresses abnormal hormone
Licorice, ginseng, can raise fatigued adrenals
Multiple sclerosis (MS),
like other autoimmune diseases, affects women more often than men (about 2 to 1), has
its onset during the reproductive years (especially after the age of 30, when estrogen is
very high)
is often exacerbated premenstrually, and is sometimes alleviated by pregnancy (Drew
and Chavez, 2000), when progesterone is very high.
Women with a high ratio of estrogen to progesterone have been found to have the most
active brain lesions (Bansil, et al., 1999).
in animals, autoimmune diseases can be brought on by treatment with estrogen (Ahmed
and Talal).

HFCS & High Cholesterol & High Triglycerides
•HFCS increases triglycerides
•Estrogen treatment is a common cause of high triglycerides
•High triglycerides can be from deficiencies of magnesium, copper, and protein
•Toxins, including some drugs and herbs, can irritate or stimulate the liver to
produce too much triglyceride
• High cholesterol is more closely connected to hypothyroidism than
hypertriglyceridemia
•Increased T3 will immediately increase the conversion of cholesterol to
progesterone and bile acids.
•Progesterone protects against the catabolic effects of cortisol, its
effects are the opposite of estrogen's.
•Progesterone can instantly activate the thyroid and the
ovaries
•Cholesterol is converted to pregnenolone and progesterone by
the ovaries, the adrenals, and the brain
Food that increase Progesterone:
•eggs, wild yams, shell fish, turmeric, walnuts, oregano, thyme

Editor's Notes
Blues and purples not only add beautiful shades of tranquility and richness to your plate, they add health-enhancing flavonoids, phytochemicals, and antioxidants. The phytochemical known as Anthocyanins are pigments responsible for the blue color in vegetables and fruits, and are being studied for their role in the body’s defense of harmful carcinogens. Blueberries, in particular, are not only rich in Vitamin C and folic acid and high in fiber and potassium, but they are proven to be the #1 source of antioxidants of any food available today.
