1. On taking nutritional supplements
why, what, when & how
This presentation has not been evaluated by the FDA.

treatment for any disease.
E.O.E.

2. Why do I need nutritional supplements?
My doctor says all I have to do is to eat a well-balanced diet and I will get all the nutrition I need !!
I don’t believe in supplements
I exercise, I eat well, I sleep sound
and I feel fine.

3. Why – This might shock you:
According to a 1936 U.S. Senate Document th US Congress regarding nutrients depletion:
“…millions of acres of land that no longer contains enough mineral...”
“… laboratory tests proved that fruits, vegetables, grains, eggs, milk and meat today aren’t what they were before. We can’t eat enough fruits and vegetables to supply our bodies with the nutrients we require for perfect health, because our stomachs aren’t big enough to hold them.”

4. Why – Bet you don’t eat like this:
According to the National Cancer Institute:
“…People are urged to eat 9 servings of fruits and vegetables a day to reduce risk of chronic disease.”
US Dept. of Agriculture surveyed 21,000 people and found NOT ONE had the recommended daily allowance of 9 servings of fruits and vegetables.

5. Why – Think about this one:
According to 2000 US Dietary Guideline recommended 5 servings of fruits and vegetables.
In 2005, the same Dietary Guideline increased its recommendation to 9 servings in order to meet the goal of obtaining the 10 major nutrients.
Why the increase?

6. Why – Do you know:
According to the Earth Summit report 1992, on nutrient content of soils around the world showed a depletion of nutrients (資源枯竭 ):
- Africa 74% depletion
- Australia 55%
- Asia 76%
- Europe 72%
- North America 85%
- South America 76%

7. Why – And you think you can eat right, eh?
According to Medicine Today Journal, 2002:
- Sick soils = Sick people
- Iron in spinach dropped 60% the last 50 years
- Broccoli and carrots lost 75% of magnesium
- Watercress lost 93% of copper
- One must eat 14 oranges to get 1,000 mg of
vitamin C

8. Why – Absorption is everything:
According to Journal of Chiropractic Economics:
“….about 250,000 pounds of indigested tablets and pills are pulled out of Seattle sewage filters every 6 weeks…many of them with the brand names still readable…” March/April, Volume 40, Number 6.

9. Why – Are you taking in all these?
The National Science Foundation finds animal requires at least:
45 minerals,
12 essential amino acids
16 vitamins
3 essential fatty acids
Dr. Gary Price Todd M.D. “ the human body requires all of the above for optimal health. But less than half are available in any kind & quantity in most food we eat today”.

10. Why – Believe it or not: Shocking farming methods:
- use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides and waste
contaminants.
- harvest immaturely and artificially ripened,
- sprayed, processed, radiated and coated with toxic
chemicals to improve colors and prolong shelf life.
Most cooking methods (over 118º) will destroy 50% - 90% of nutrients.

11. What are the reasons for nutrition deficiency?
Crop Nutrition Loss Environmental Factors/Pollutants
Over-cooking pH Imbalance
(high protein, sugar, stress, processed food)
Food Omission Stress
Poor Lifestyle/Habits Food Selection
Poor Digestion Antibiotics/Drugs
Fast/Processed Food Lack of Exercise/Sleep

12. What? You mean my doctor lied?
Understand your MD is in the sick business, NOT health care.
Most MDs are not trained in nutritional supplements.
- they don’t know enough to recommend,
- they don’t want to recommend.
Pharmaceutical companies are in the drug business.
Nutritional supplements are not patentable.
If we don’t get sick and die, many industries will suffer:
- government pension will run out,
- less business for MDs, hospitals, nurses, ambulance services,
funeral homes, cemeteries, drug stores, labs, bio-tech
and pharmaceutical companies…..

13. Dr. Tim O’Shea: “…antibiotics are getting less effective.
Source:
“…antibiotics are getting less effective.
…allergy shots never cured an allergy.
…cancer & AIDS can never be cured by a drug.
…the ONLY way to recovers from any illness is when the immune system overcomes the problem…”
“…the US has the highest incidence of degenerative diseases, UK is the 2nd…”
“…the #1 cause of kidney failure is abuse of Tylenol…”

14. Two-times Nobel Prize winner Dr
Two-times Nobel Prize winner Dr. Linus Pauling, PhD: “…you can trace every sickness, every disease, every ailment to nutritional deficiency…”

15. How - 2 ways to do our business:
To cure diseases or
To build a strong foundation?
"Give a man a fish, and you've given him a meal. Teach him to fish and he'll have food for a lifetime."

16. How - The Cure To help allergy, we recommend OPC-3
To aid digestion, we recommend Aloe Juice
To fight osteoporosis, we recommend Calcium Plus
Problems:
1. We became unlicensed-doctors
2. Once the ailment disappears, PCs stop buying
3. Constantly looking for PCs
4. Imbalance BVs

17. How - The Foundation
Instead, we should recommend our nutritional products
as a daily basic requirement; like drinking 8 glasses of
water, exercising 3 times a week, sleeping 6-8 hours a day.
Advantages:
PCs buying monthly
2. Consistent BVs
3. More time to build our business
4. Less work, less headache, less risk

18. We’re gardeners, think planting :
SICK
1. Feed & nourish
2. Cleanse & detox
1. Identify sickness
2. Treat by drugs or surgery US MD

21. When – our timing is right…
65% of Americans are overweight
30% of us are obese
Over 40% of us have high cholesterol...
50% of Americans over 65 have high blood pressure, and 28.7% overall
Nearly 70% of people are unaware they have high blood pressure...
5.1% of us have type-2 diabetes, up 104% from 1980 to
Over 100,000,000 Americans have metabolic syndrome, which is one step away from having type-2 diabetes...
 92% of Americans are deficient in one or more essential vitamins and minerals... We need to build a strong foundation!

“…the maximum absorption of nutrients one can expect from oral supplementation with pills and tablets is % to 25%.”
“…a liquid solution does not need to be dissolved, so approximately 98% of the elemental amount will be available for absorption…”

29. Facts about Calcium absorption
Active transport site – first 6+ inches of small intestine where most absorptions take place is Vitamin D dependent. Insoluble form of calcium such as carbonate is absorbed here. Max. abs. 450mg.
Passive diffusion site – end portion of small intestine, alkaline environment, absorption rate of calcium at these sites is 48%; however only soluble forms of calcium such as lactate and citrate.
The colon plays a small part in the absorption of calcium and is absorption improved with the presence of certain probiotics.

32. Final facts:
Harvard examined 91,731 women over a year period and found:
- who takes Ca supplements has less chance of forming kidney stones;
- Calcium binds with oxalate (草酸鹽), an acid found in food, in the
intestine and excreted in the stool. Oxalate is a major constituent
of stones, not calcium.
- drink plenty of water when taking Ca supplement.
- kidney stones are uncommon in women.

American Journal of Clinical Nutrition 1997 may;65(5):1453-9

33. Important absorption co-factors
Magnesium (鎂): is a key factor for bone strength. Sufficient amounts are required to ensure proper calcium absorption and utilization, thereby preventing calcium deposits (stones) in soft tissue. (Take extra Mg for better absorption.)
Vitamin D has been added to facilitate the adequate absorption of calcium at the vitamin D dependant active transport sites (first 6” of small intestine).

百傲鈣訴訟大事記
零五年九月---- 消費者入稟高等法院，控告百傲藥業及溫捷總裁八項違例，擇要如下﹕
沒有向該產品的使用者，提供清晰及合理的關於該產品含有鉛份，過去1年來違反65號提案，故意及有意不警告使用者有關該產品含有可能危害生殖系統的 鉛毒，致令使用者受鉛毒影響。
百傲鈣並非天然產品，而是經人工摻雜的產品，既然含有鉛份，即能導致對生殖系統有害毒性，因而有損人類健康。
明知產品會對包括孕婦及兒童在內的使用者受鉛毒影響，而依然將其作為商品售賣。即被告知道或應該知道外界明白鉛毒會令出生嬰兒變為畸型或導致出現其他生殖系統方面的損害。控罪也指被告亦知道鉛毒會引致身體出現不良後果，例如失去學習能力，行為出現問題。
過去4年來一直指該產品在「美國製造」，但實際上該產品是在美國以外地方製造，根據上述行為，被告是從事非法做生意手法，這就構成不公平競爭。
控方現正向法庭申請「集體訴訟」地位，被告完全否認違例。
零六年二月---- 控方將多家分銷商(包括為百傲鈣宣傳的VAGNINI醫生)加入被告行列。
零六年三月二日---- 第一次法庭會議
