Nurse Rene Caisse used an herbal formula called Essiac [Caisse spelled backwards] to effectively treat hundreds of people with cancer and a number of other disorders that are associated with liver and kidney stress.  Essiac is used to detox all vital organs, especially the liver and kidneys. A healthy liver is absolutely essential for a healthy immune system. In order to have a healthy immune system, you must detoxify your liver by cleansing it of stored toxins that accumulate over the years, resulting in a poor resistance to microbes, and culminate in various health disorders and diseases.  Essiac is made up of 4 nutrient-rich herbs:  burdock root, sheep sorrel, slippery elm bark, and turkey rhubarb root. The combination of these herbs in proper ratio neutralizes blood toxins, detoxifies and strengthens the liver, and sooths irritations and inflammations.  Essiac is used to strengthen and tighten muscles, organs and tissues; make bones, joints, ligaments, lungs, membranes strong and flexible, more durable and less vulnerable to stress.  It is used to nourish and stimulate the brain and nervous system; to promote the absorption of fluids in the tissues; to remove toxic accumulation in the fat, lymph, bone marrow, bladder and alimentary canal.  It is used to neutralize acids, absorb toxins in bowel and help to eliminate both.  It is used to clear the respiratory channels by dissolving and expelling mucus; to relieve the liver of its burden of detoxification by converting fatty toxins into water-soluble substances that can be easily eliminated through the kidneys.  It assists the liver to produce lecithin, which forms part of the myelin sheath [a white fatty material that encloses nerve fibers].  Is it used to reduce, perhaps eliminate, heavy metal deposits in tissues, especially those surrounding the joints, to relieve inflammation and stiffness; to improve the functions of the pancreas and spleen by increasing the effectiveness of insulin.  It is used to purify and cool the blood; increase red cell production and keep them from rupturing; to increase the body's ability to utilize oxygen by raising the oxygen level in tissue cells.  It is used to maintain the balance between potassium and sodium within the body so the liquid fluid inside and outside each cell is regulated; in this way, cells are nourished with nutrients and cleansed.  It is used to convert calcium and potassium oxalates into a harmless form by making them solvent in the urine, and regulating the amount of oxalic acid delivered to the kidneys, thus reducing the risk of stone formulation in the gall bladder, kidneys or urinary tract.  It is used to protect against toxins entering the brain; protect the body against radiation and x-rays; to relieve pain, increase the appetite and provide more energy with a sense of well-being.  It is used to speed up wound healing by regenerating the damaged area; increase the production of antibodies like lymphocytes and T cells in the thymus gland, defenders of our immune system; inhibit and possibly destroy benign growths and tumors; and to protect the cells against free radicals.  This particular Essiac tonic is certified organic [contains no pesticides, herbicides or preservatives], non-fumigated, non-irradiated, and totally non-toxic. The herbs are freshly-ground minutes prior to cold-pressing to ensure potency.  It is fast-acting, alcohol-free, and professional strength. Herb manufacturers who cannot make these claims are selling inferior, impotent and harmful products.  This formula is the highest quality of Essiac formulas available anywhere on the U.S. market today. 

Instructions: Take the Essiac Tonic Liquid Drops on an empty stomach. Add 40 drops to 2-4 ounces of water 3 times daily. Wait 30 minutes before eating [If you have already eaten, wait 2 hours].  The number of drops in a bottle of liquid extract will vary depending on the viscosity (thickness) of the extract and its molecular weight. A 2-ounce bottle may range from 2000 drops to 2500 drops.  Therefore this 2-ounce bottle will last 17-21 days, taking 120 drops per day.  Take it for 32 days and then take one week off.  Repeat the cycle as needed.

Excellent Bioflavonoid Supplement:  Fruits & Vegetables Caplets [10 Glasses of Juice]
Provides 52 fresh fruits and vegetables in every serving
Nutritional benefits of up to 10 glasses of juice in just 2 caplets

Vitamin C Ultra Caplets


The nutritional supplements on this page are only half of the battle.  The other half consists of eliminating substances that increase inflammation and toxicity, thereby interfering with healing:

Avoid tobacco smoke, alcohol, coffee, nicotine and all caffeine products to avoid raising eye pressure.

Drink only small amounts of liquid at a time to avoid raising eye pressure.

Avoid sugar because it contributes greatly to the spread of toxicity, excess acid, cancer, and infection.  These include fruits, fruit juices [frozen, bottled, canned], cakes, candy, chewing gum, cookies, ice cream, jams, jelly, Jell-O, marmalades, pastries, pies, preserves, sherbets, soft drinks, sugared fruit, tapioca puddings, white sugar, syrup, processed commercial yogurt, brown sugar, fructose sugar, corn syrup, soft drinks, honey, dehydrated cane juice granules, barley malt syrup, brown rice syrup, date sugar, maple syrup, sucanat, blackstrap molasses, sorghum, and most of all Aspartame [NutriSweeet] and Alcoholic Beverages [beer, wine and hard liquor all turn to sugar in the blood]...Xylitol And Stevia are 2 very healthy natural sweeteners that are perfectly OK use. 

Avoid commercial dairy products [butter, cheese, milk, sour cream, whey, whipped cream, yogurt] because they contribute greatly to the spread of cancer and inflammation. Good substitutes are organic brown rice milk and nut milk.

Avoid white flour products because they contribute greatly to the spread of toxicity, excess acid, cancer  and inflammation.  These include cakes, pies, cookies, pastries, donuts, breads, crackers, rolls, biscuits, muffins, pancakes, pizzas, gravy, processed pasta [spaghetti, macaroni, ravioli, lasagna, noodles, dumplings]... Instead Use Whole-Grain Flour [Wheat, Brown Rice, Oat, Barley, etc]

Avoid processed table salt. It disrupts the body's normal pH, brain chemistry, hormonal balance, muscle function, and fluid levels. Use organic sea salt instead. Individuals with glaucoma should not restrict salt in the diet

Avoid Processed Meats with toxic preservatives such as nitrates and nitrites [wieners, bologna, salami, pastrami, corned beef, bacon, ham, sausage, hot links].  They contribute greatly to the spread of toxicity, excess acid and cancer.

Avoid ingesting chemicals such as nicotine, tobacco, pesticides, herbicides, preservatives, processed foods, pre-packaged foods, refined foods, and tap water because they contribute to cancer, liver toxicity,body acidity, and free radical damage.  Synthetic chemical and substances cause cellular havoc in an attempt to digest them.  The body can only safely digest natural whole foods.

Avoid Personal items that are processed with any unnatural chemicals, dyes, inks, artificial fragrances.  If any of the toxic substances are absorbed into your body, they are linked to a lowered immune system, increased inflammation, endometriosis, candida, and cancer...Undergarments, wash cloths, bath towels, bed linen, tissue paper, sanitary napkins, diapers, etc. Should be white, hypo-allergenic, made of cotton fibers. Menstruating females should use sanitary napkins instead of tampons, but if tampons are used they should be made with organically grown cotton fibers.

Avoid Toxic laundry and hygienic products...Use organic, or at least hypoallergenic [free of fragrances, dyes, inks] laundry and hygienic products that come in contact with your skin...Use 1 cup Clorox bleach with every laundry load to kill infections.

Avoid Toxic skin and hair products, toothpastes, mouthwashes, douche solutions, deodorants, make-up, nail polishes, nail glues, cosmetics, colognes, perfumes, lotions...The skin can only safely absorb natural ingredients.  Unnatural ingredients contribute greatly to the spread of toxicity, excess acid and cancer.

Naturopathic Medicine believes that disorders, including glaucome, regardless of severity, are either directly or indirectly a result of nutritional imbalances as well as an accumulation of toxic substances. When the nutritional and the acid-alkaline imbalances are corrected, and the body is adequately detoxified, the disorders remedy themselves while restoring normal organ function. The key factor to reversing disease is maintaining a balanced acid-alkaline state in the body.  When this balance is maintained, the body is a well-oxygenated environment. An acid is a caustic erosive sour substance that has an electropositive charge.  An acidic body [acidosis] does not oxygenate properly and the body's ability to heal itself is impaired.  This impairment is characterized by sick blood, diseased cells, inflammation, excess body fat and suppressed immune functions.  These conditions are ideal for contracting and breeding various microorganisms, including viruses, bacteria, fungi, yeasts and
parasites.  An imbalanced immune system is one that overfires, underfires or misfires.  This results in lowered resistance to infections, colds, flu, herpes outbreaks, cold sores, cancer, low energy, asthma and allergies. Allergies are an inflammatory reaction triggered by over-acidity.  On the other hand, an alkali is a substance that neutralizes acid, and has an electronegative charge. The nutritional supplements that I have suggested all have a very alkalizing effect on the body pH. 

pH [potential  of hydrogen concentration] is the term used to identify the intensity of an acid or alkali.
The potential ranges from 0 [extreme acidic] to 14 [extreme alkaline].   There is a tenfold difference between each number.  For instance, pH 5 is 10 times more acidic as pH 6.  Optimally, we want the fluids in our bodies to have a neutral pH level, which is 7.0-7.2.  No health disorder or disease can possibly sustain itself when the pH is maintained in the neutral zone. At this level, the body is highly oxygenated; it detoxifies and heals itself; its cells are energized; and it has a strong immunity to all diseases.    

A pH less than 5.3 indicates an inability to assimilate vitamins or minerals.  Since most of the body is water-based (50-60%), the pH level has profound effects on all body chemistry, health and disease. All regulatory mechanisms [including breathing, circulation, digestion, hormonal production] serve the purpose of balancing pH by removing caustic metabolized acid residues from body tissues without damaging living cells. If the pH deviates too far to the acid side or too far to the alkaline side [alkalosis], cells become poisoned by their own toxic waste and die. Just as acid rain can destroy a forest, and alkaline wastes can pollute a lake, an imbalanced pH corrodes all body tissue, slowly eating into the 60,000 miles of our veins and arteries like corrosives eating into marble. If left unchecked, an imbalanced pH will interrupt all cellular activities and functions, from the beating of your heart to the neural firing of your brain. 

NOTE:
Everyone has a unique body timetable for healing, which is based on their current level of toxicity, nutritional imbalance, as well as compliance to the dietary suggestions and taking the nutritional supplements.

Restoring proper fluid balance requires a more than adequate supply of daily nutrients.  The following nutritional supplements offer excellent nutritional support for glaucoma:

Eye Health Caplets
This product contains nutrients that are historically known for promoting eye health.  It offers comprehensive nutrition for your eyes, supplying the entire antioxidant group skillfully combined with special amino acids and vision-specific phytonutrients, Some of the ingredients included are:

Bilberry contains nutrients that may protect the eye from further damage.  It is used to protect and strengthen the capillary walls of the eyes, and thus is especially effective in protecting against glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration.  Bilberry  is the world's most famous herb for supporting healthy vision. World War II fighter pilots are said to have been given Bilberry jam prior to flying in low-light conditions. A natural pigment in Bilberry contains potent, eye-friendly antioxidants called anthocyanidins. Anthocyanosides, compounds found in the herb bilberry, were shown to markedly improve vascular resistance of the capillary wall in the ciliary body of the eye (the source of excess fluid production).  They protect delicate eye tissues while other nutrients nourish the parts of your eye necessary for clear vision and light adjustment.  Bilberry's fruit contains flavonoids and anthocyanin, which serve to prevent capillary fragility, thin the blood, and stimulate the release of vasodilators. 

Eyebright has been used as a tonic and an astringent since the Middle Ages. As the name suggests, Eyebright is great for the eyes. It's an antioxidant herb that fights free-radical damage, especially in the eyes. Eyebright has also been a popular herbal eyewash. Eyebright contains bitters, essential oils, several B vitamins, and Vitamins A, C, D, and E.

Lutein…Evidence suggests that lutein may help prevent some types of glaucoma. Several studies have shown that lutein supplements may slow vision loss in glaucoma, and in some cases improve eyesight.  This product provides the remarkable eye-protective plant carotenoid lutein, at a scientifically recommended level that is 24 times more potent than is boasted by the leading nationally advertised multivitamin.

Alpha Lipoic Acid is often used to help prevent ischemic optic nerve damage in glaucoma.  It is also used to enhance color visual fields and visual sensitivity. Pretreatment with alpha lipoic acid has been found to protect the optic nerve damage from damage by cyanide, glutamate and free circulating iron ions.

Ginkgo Biloba is a potent antioxidant that is used to protect tiny eye capillaries.  Ginkgo biloba extract is used to increase diastolic blood flow in the ophthalmic artery in glaucoma patients and may be helpful in protecting the optic nerve from further damage and subsequent visual field loss.  Ginkgo biloba is used to improve central and peripheral blood flow, reduce vasospasm, reduces serum viscosity, has antioxidant activity, platelet activating factor inhibitory activity, and inhibits apoptosis and excitotoxicity - all factors in preventing glaucoma vision loss.  Ginkgo contains an abundance of useful compounds, including the antioxidants Vitamin C and carotenoids, but it is the flavonoid compounds collectively known as "ginkgolides" that are the most remarkable. The Ginkgo flavonoids act specifically to increase blood circulation and oxygen, as well as to dilate the smallest segment of the circulatory system, which are the micro-capillaries. Ginkgo Biloba may also be beneficial in slowing progressive vision loss.

Pycnogenol (from grape seed extract or pine bark) and other flavonoids are used to protect the optic nerve.

Vitamin A is essential for good eyesight and night vision… Beta carotene, as well as other carotenoids found in dark green leafy vegetables, appear to be essential to the health of the eye. 

Vitamin C is used to reduce inner eye pressure. The eyes of open angle glaucoma patients have been found to have significantly low vitamin C levels.

Vitamin E is used to help protect the lens and other eye tissue.

Every disease or disorder is related to some degree of nutritional imbalances and accumulated toxins.  Liver dysfunction is usually involved; however, glaucoma is more related to kidney function.  Glaucoma is a result of adrenal exhaustion due to prolonged stress.  Stress eventually exhausts your adrenal glands [located on the kidneys], and this is where your hormones are made--  hundreds of them.  When the adrenals cannot produce aldosterone [hormone that regulates fluid balance of salt and potassium], it causes salt to be lost from the body, and causes excess fluids to enter tissues.  This fluid excess reduces the elasticity of the eyeball, which increases the intraocular pressure.  The fluid damages the optic nerve and distorts vision.  The optic nerve is the part of the eye that carries visual information to the brain.  It is made up of over a million nerve cells, and while each cell is several inches long, it is extremely thin.  When the pressure in the eye builds, these nerve cells become compressed, causing them to become damaged and eventually die.  The death of these cells results in permanent visual loss.  In addition to stress and nutritional imbalances, other common causes or contributors to glaucoma are vascular obstruction, impaired blood flow, diabetes, high blood pressure, allergies, improper calcium absoprtion, severe near-sightedness, lack of sufficient collagen [lack of Vitamin C], tissue abnormalities and prolonged use of steroids.

There are three main types of glaucoma:

Open-Angle Glaucoma is the most common form of the disease. In open-angle glaucoma, there is no physical blockage and the structures of the eye appear normal; however, fluid does not drain adequately enough to maintain a normal level of intraocular pressure. Open-angle glaucoma often goes undetected because symptoms come on very gradually. Symptoms of open-angle glaucoma may include loss of peripheral vision [Peripheral vision is a part of vision that occurs outside the very center of gaze], “tunnel” vision [Loss of peripheral vision with retention of central vision, resulting in a constricted circular tunnel-like field of vision], a decrease in night vision, mild headaches, visual changes and seeing halos at night around lights. Statistics show that individuals with chronic open angle glaucoma have a significantly low thiamine [Vitamin B1] blood level.

Closed-Angle Glaucoma…In the closed-angle glaucoma the drainage angle is blocked by iris or a segments of iris, which then prevents the aqueous fluid from draining. This causes a build-up of fluid in the eye and raises the intraocular pressure. When the blockage of the drainage angle occurs suddenly this is called acute closed-angle glaucoma, which causes sudden blurred vision with pain and redness, usually in one eye first. Symptoms of closed-angle glaucoma may include extreme eye pain, eye discomfort in the morning, poor vision, night halos around lights, night blindness and, sometimes, blindness. In very extreme cases, pupils can become fixed and dilated, and a sharp increase in the pressure in the inner eye can occur. These symptoms in an individual can come on very rapidly and can be accompanied by nausea and vomiting. These symptoms should be considered a medical emergency.

Normotensive [normal-tension] glaucoma occurs in individuals with normal intraocular pressure; however, the optic nerves are damaged by other changes in the eye. Normotensive glaucoma can be caused by an excess of glutamate, a neurotransmitter (chemical messenger between nerve cells).  Symptoms of Normotensive glaucoma may include loss of peripheral vision [Peripheral vision is a part of vision that occurs outside the very center of gaze], “tunnel” vision [Loss of peripheral vision with retention of central vision, resulting in a constricted circular tunnel-like field of vision], a decrease in night vision, mild headaches, visual changes and seeing halos at night around lights.

Cover your basic nutrient requirements with Liquid Vitamin/Mineral [Plant-Derived] Formula. The nutrients found in this highly absorbable great tasting supplement are essential for the health and healing on a cellular level.  The nutrients are also needed for healing of visual health, inflamed tissue, nerves, muscles, bones, joints, brain, heart, hormone balance, teeth, gums, skin, hair, nails, and immune system. This formula is a balanced combination of vitamins, minerals [at least 74 plant derived hydrophilic minerals which are the same type found in fruits and vegetables], herbs, phytonutrients, antioxidants, electrolytes and other nutrients that needed for good health.  The key factor to reversing disease is maintaining a balanced acid-alkaline state in the body.  Minerals are alkaline because they relax the body from pressure [including optic pressure in the eyes], tightness, tension, stiffness, spasms, twitches, tics or jerkiness as in nervousness, anxiety, anger, fear, agitation, headaches, muscle cramps, menstrual cramps, arthritis, insomnia, constipation, heart palpitations, irregular heartbeats, high blood pressure, eye twitches, acne, plaque on teeth, plaque on heart and arteries due to cholesterol build-up, plaque on the brain [Alzheimer's], and an accumulation of estrogen building up inside the tissues [estrogen dominance].  This delicious liquid plant-derived supplement is superior in nutrients and absorption.  The suggested adult dose is one ounce twice daily.

This Nutritious Juice is an alkalizing food with an abundance of nutrients that are essential for improving vision health, blood circulation, increasing oxygen to blood, strengthening tiny eye capillaries and nerves, as well as the  immune system.  The dose is 2 ounces 2-3 times daily.  It has:

1.  19 amino acids [six times higher than bee pollen], including 8 that are essential for life...
NOTE:  L-Arginine is an amino acid that supports the synthesis of nitric oxide which promotes healthy blood vessels.
NOTE: Amino acids are the building blocks of protein, the basis of life itself.   They are a major constituent for eye health, the brain, nerve, muscle, blood, skin, and internal organs. Amino acids are precursors to dopamine, norepinephrine, serotonin, and many other substances critical to health and well being.   Besides building cells and repairing tissue, they form antibodies to combat invading bacteria and viruses; they are part of the enzyme and hormonal system; they build nucleoproteins (RNA and DNA); they carry oxygen throughout the body and participate in muscle activity.  Amino acids have been found to be extremely useful in weight control, depression fighting, muscle building, proper hormonal activity, and proper function of the immune system.   Amino acids are necessary for growth and cellular replication throughout the body.
2.  up to 21 minerals [the main ones being zinc, iron, copper, calcium, germanium, selenium, and phosphorus]
NOTE:  Zinc and selenium are used for slowing progressive vision loss.
NOTE:  Germanium is a trace mineral rarely found in foods
3.  all 8 essential amino acids [such as isoleucine and tryptophan]
4.  More protein than whole wheat
5.  A complete spectrum of antioxidant carotenoids including beta-carotene [more than carrots] and zeaxanthin [protects the eyes]. Gram for gram, it is the richest source of carotenoids in all known foods on earth.
6.  500 times the amount of vitamin C, by weight, than oranges; powerful antioxidant
NOTE:  Vitamin C and Bioflavonoids are used to help reduce intraocular pressure and pain. Supplementing with vitamin C can significantly reduce elevated intraocular pressure in individuals with glaucoma. Higher quantities of vitamin C appear to be more effective than smaller amounts and the benefit is lost if vitamin C is discontinued.
7.  Vitamin E, which is rarely found in fruits
8.  B-complex vitamins [including B1, B2, B6], needed to convert food into energy
NOTE:  Vitamin B Complex is an important anti-stress vitamin and is important for many metabolic processes… Choline and Inositol are a sources of important B vitamins the benefit the eyes. Studies show that individuals with glaucoma who are treated with vitamin B12 for over 5 years demonstrated better visual acuity and better overall control of their disease.
9.  11 mg of iron per 100 grams
10.  Increases SOD [super oxide dismutase] in the blood up to 48%
11.  Beta-Sitosteral, an anti-inflammatory agent
12.  Essential Fatty Acids, including linoleic acid
13.  sesquiterpenoids [cyperone], tetraterpenoids [zeanthin, physalin]...Zeanthin is well-noted for eye health.
14.  Solavetivone, a powerful anti-fungal and anti-bacterial agent
15.  Physalin, which boosts the immune system
16.  0.1% Betaine, which is used by the liver to produce choline
17.  astronomical levels of 4 types of bioactive polysaccharides, called proteoglycans, [LBP-1,2,3,4], one which powerfully stimulates the secretion of the anti-aging hormone, HGH [human growth hormone], Bioactive polysaccharides, called proteoglycans
18.  Plus 4 unique polysaccharides that are not found in any other plant substance on earth.  These polysaccharides are " master molecules " that command and control many of the body's most important defense systems and encourage good overall health.
19.  the richest source of glyconutrients
20. phytonutrient compounds that work in the body to neutralize free radical cell damage.

Both the  nutrient-dense juice and the Liquid Vitamin/Mineral [Plant-Derived] Formula [both listed above], are rich natural sources of Multivitamin and Mineral Complex nutrients that are essential for proper nutrition and supporting proper eye fluid pressure. B-complex vitamins, which play many roles in the human body, affecting both physical and mental health, but primarily they nourish the nerves and muscles, including those of the eyes. They enhances circulation and assists in blood cell formation, which prevents certain forms of anemia, assist with carbohydrate metabolism and the production of hydrochloric acid, which is important for proper digestion and normal functioning of the gastrointestinal tract.  They optimize cognitive activity, memory, learning and brain function, preventing and reversing depression and anxiety; have a positive effect on energy, stamina, growth, and normal appetite, needed for muscle tone of the intestines, stomach, and heart.   They act as an antioxidant, enhancing immunity and protecting the body from cancer and the degenerative effects of aging, alcohol consumption, smoking.  They aid in antibody production, cellular respiration, cell growth, alleviate eye fatigue and are important in the prevention and treatment of glaucoma and cataracts.  They facilitate the use of oxygen by the tissues, promoting healthy skin, nails and hair.  They help the utilization and absorption of iron, fats, carbohydrates and protein, required for proper digestion and absorption of foods.  They play a role in the production of the adrenal hormones and vitamin utilization, help convert fats, carbohydrates and proteins into energy, prevent and reverse water retention, help in maintaining sodium and potassium balance, aid in the prevention of arteriosclerosis [hardening of the arteries]; important in the formation of lecithin and they help to reduce cholesterol levels,.inhibit the formation of a toxic chemical called homocysteine [attacks the heart muscle and allows the deposition of cholesterol around the heart muscle].  They promote healthy sweat glands, nerve tissue and bone marrow.  They help make acetylcholine, [an important neurotransmitter in the brain]. They help protect against sunburn and skin cancer.

Calcium Magnesium Powder... Calcium and magnesium are essential minerals for healing eye health, inflamed tissue, nerves, muscles, bones, joints, heart, brain, hormone balance and nervous system. For individuals with open angle glaucoma and normal-tension glaucoma, studies show that magnesium improves the visual field and reduces peripheral vasospasms (which can cause glaucoma, stroke and heart attack). Magnesium also has been shown to improve blood flow and to protect the optic nerve.  This supplement is necessary for protein synthesis, and helps to prevent muscular cramps and numbness.  It also helps prevent Cancer; provides energy; healthy RNA and DNA; promotes restful sleep.  It fights aching joints, brittle nails, eczema, high cholesterol, heart palpitations, high blood pressure, insomnia, muscle cramps, nervousness, numbness in arms and legs, rheumatoid arthritis, rickets, tooth decay, dementia, convulsions, depression, delusions, hyperactivity, and more.  Many people do not realize that calcium needs other minerals and trace elements for proper absorption.  Therefore, taking plain Calcium supplements could cause more harm than good in the long run.  Improper Calcium absorption can lead to kidney stones or other kidney problems and Calcium deposits in the joints.  Magnesium has more health benefits attributed to it than any other mineral.  It is mainly found in the bones and inside the cells, where it is necessary for the metabolism of and other nutrients.  Magnesium is involved in regulating the acid-alkaline balance in the body, and for proper muscle function, including the heart.  By far, the best calcium source and the best absorbed is Calcium gluconate, which is 90% vegetable, and is the purest injectable grade.  When calcium is not properly absorbed, its deposits  can lodge anywhere in the body and cause numerous diseases and disorders, including heart disease, arthritis and muscle disorders. The suggested adult dose for this delicious tasting supplement is one tsp twice daily.

With all the negative hype going on these days about the dangers of high-fat diet, do not confuse Omega 3 fatty acids [the good fat from vegetable oils] with Omega 6 fatty acids [the harmful saturated fat from animals].  Omega-3 is used to help lower intraocular pressure and to  prevent or delay vision loss associated with glaucoma.  Essential fatty acids are used to protect and help repair tissues and cells.  Studies show that supplementing the diet with Omega-3 fish oils produced fewer quantities of a carcinogen associated with certain cancers. Omega-3 is critical for good health. However, the body cannot make it on its own. For this reason, omega-3s must be obtained from food sources. Omega 3 does not contribute to weight gain or other health problems. To the contrary, it actually normalizes metabolism, balances hormones, and reduces inflammation in bones, joints, muscles and all body organs.  Actually both are good healthy fats that our bodies need, but the danger lies in an imbalanced ratio of the 2.  We only need about 5 times the amount of Omega 6 than we do Omega 3, but the typical Western diet provides at least 40 times as much. It is this gross imbalance that results in weight gain, hormone and brain chemistry imbalance, heart disease, tumors, cancer, arthritis, brain and nervous system disorders, including Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, certain kinds of mental illness, depression, post-partum depression, bi-polar disorder, alcoholism, schizophrenia, dementia (including Alzheimer's), poor concentration and memory, attention deficit disorder, and a host a other health problems.  Omega-3 oils have been shown to significantly decrease the risk and ravaging health effects of cancer, heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, blood clotting, coronary artery disease, inflammatory processes, chronic lung diseases, asthma, immune disorders, ulcerative colitis, arthritis, osteoporosis, fibromyalgia, Lupus erythematosus, brain and nervous system disorders, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, certain kinds of mental illness, depression, post-partum depression, bi-polar disorder, alcoholism, schizophrenia, dementia (including Alzheimer's), poor concentration and memory, and attention deficit disorder (ADD); poor eyesight, poor skin health, poor gastrointestinal health, type 2 diabetes, help to offset the harmful effects of radiation treatment and chemotherapy, weight problems (Omega 3 oils keep you satiated for 5-8 hours instead of 2-3 hours), normalize metabolism, balance hormones, rheumatoid arthritis, breast cancer, tumors, insulin resistance, menstrual cramps, psoriasis, eczema, stroke, dry skin, dry hair, brittle nails, hormone and brain chemistry imbalance, and much more.The healthy thing to do is cut down considerably on Omega 6 fats, and supplement the Omega 3 fats.  The Omega 6 fats to reduce in your diet are hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated, saturated animal fats [beef, lamb, pork, sheep, veal], and animal organ meats [brain, heart, kidney, liver].  You should completely avoid trans-fatty acids fake fats, which include margarine, olestra, olean.  These fats are synthetic and pose a major health threat to all vial organs, particularly the liver which attempts to metabolize them.  Instead, use olive oil, coconut oil or grape seed oil to cook [Butter does not become toxic when heated, but because it is animal fat, it may tend to raise the level of "bad cholesterol" in the body].   Olive oil [Omega 3 and Omega 6], coconut oil and grape seed oil [Omega 3] are the only oils that do not become toxic when heated.  You may also use flax oil [Omega 3] on salads, but it becomes toxic when heated.  Due to increasing ocean pollution, the purity of the fish oil [Omega 3] is the single most important factor to consider when taking it as a supplement. This particular high-grade Omega 3 oil is thoroughly screened to assure no contaminants.
