Vitamin E Gets A Bum
Rap
You may have read the headlines recently stating that vitamin E
supplementation does more harm than good. There was a study published
online in the Annals of Internal Medicine that did what's called
a meta-analysis of the results of 19 clinical trials on vitamin
E.
These researchers
reported that taking high doses of vitamin E (greater than 400 IU
per day) increased risk of all-cause mortality and concluded that
high dose vitamin E supplements should be avoided.
Below is what
I received from Dr. Julian Whitaker refuting the validity of this
study. After you read this I think you'll agree that the media wasn't
giving the best information in reporting this supposed story. Dr.
Whitaker: First, the participants in this review of studies were
already suffering from a wide range of medical conditions from heart
disease and cancer to kidney disease and Alzheimer's. As the researchers
themselves admitted, it's impossible to ascertain if results would
be the same in a healthy population.
Second, the
statistical analysis is suspect. Only nine of the 19 studies focused
solely on vitamin E, while 10 looked at vitamin E combined with
other vitamins and minerals. Thus, any outcome can hardly be conclusive.
Therefore, headlines
screaming "Vitamin E may raise death rates" or "Vitamin E might
make heart disease worse" are irresponsible, unfounded, and an unnecessary
scare tactic.
The benefits
of vitamin E supplementation are well documented. I emphatically
believe that not only is the use of vitamin E safe, but highly therapeutic.
Thousands of studies support vitamin E's role in cardiovascular
disease, immune function, and a number of other conditions.
The Institute
of Medicine and the federal government agree that vitamin E is safe
at levels as high as 1600 IU per day for natural vitamin E (the
form I recommend you use) or 1000 IU of synthetic vitamin E, the
form most likely used in this study. According to the Council for
Responsible Nutrition, "This meta-analysis provides no convincing
evidence to the contrary."

Study Of Vitamin E And
Diabetes Supports This Conclusion
A study just published in the journal Diabetes Care supports the
benefits of Vitamin E. This study looked at both Vitamin E and the
beta carotenoid beta-cryptoxanthin and its impact on the development
of type II diabetes. The study had 4,300 men and woman who were
free of diabetes at the beginning of the study. The researchers
did an analysis of the diets and found that those consuming the
highest amounts of Vitamin E were 31% less likely to develop diabetes
and those taking the beta-cryptoxanthin reduced their risk by 42%.
So… if you are
taking Vitamin E, keep on taking it and if you're not I'd suggest
adding 400 to 800 IUs per day. One other thing, when you look at
the label it should say d-alpha tocopherol and not dl-alpha tocopherol.
The addition of the letter l (dl) means it's synthetic.

Fly Like An Eagle When
Negative Stuff Happens In Your Life
When a storm hits, the way an eagle avoids it is by flying to a
high spot and waiting for the winds to start. When they do, the
eagle sets its wings so that the wind picks it up and actually lifts
it above the storm.
When something
negative happens in your life, do you get caught up in the storm
or do you use it as a way to grow and expand beyond where you are?
When I do my Kinesiology muscle checking presentation, I'm showing
people how they can take a negative thought and immediately switch
it to a positive one. You have the power to choose to fly above
your personal storm. All you have to do is change your focus and
fly like an eagle.

Another Flu Protector
In a special supplement I emailed in October I listed a number of
things you can do naturally to prevent the flu or even stop it once
it's started. Here's something else you can add to defend you. It's
called Colostrum and it's a nutrient-rich substance secreted by
mammals just after giving birth that gives your immune system a
tremendous boost. You can get bovine colostrum in a health food
store; just take it as directed.

Be Careful Of Fetal
Ultrasound Examinations
The FDA Center for Devices and Radiological Health issued several
reports that ultrasound examinations during pregnancy may restrict
fetal growth, delay speech development in children and cause lower
birth weights. So…talk over with you Doc the pros and cons of having
a fetal ultrasound examination.

Vitamin A May Reduce Emphysema In Smokers
A report in the Thie Newsletter reported on research from Kansas State University that found that rats that had a high level of Vitamin A and were exposed to cigarette smoke experienced a great reduction in emphysema. So…if you're a smoker or exposed to secondary smoke, you might want to make sure you include Vitamin A with your other supplements.

Feedback
From One Of My Presentations
I recently received a great letter from the Treasurers' Association
of Virginia about the impact of my General Session program on Increasing
Your Leadership Power While Managing Leadership Stress. Here's what
Barbara Carraway had to say:
"I received
many, many positive comments from delighted attendees who thoroughly
enjoyed the program. I would highly recommend you to anyone who
is looking for an educational, interesting and perceptive speaker
who will leave the audience with amazing techniques they can begin
using immediately. Thank you for doing such a wonderful job."
And thank you,
Barbara, for your comments.

Special Offer To Subscribers On Full Spectrum Lights
Since winter is quickly approaching and the mid-winter blahs are
not far behind, you might want to reconsider doing your own experimenting
with the Full Spectrum Fluorescent Tubes, Bulbs and Flood Lights
that I’ve talked about previously. These lights are great. You’ll
feel better and function better under them.
Here’s what
Eda E. Fairfield, Marketing Coordinator, Real Works Realty, Tampa,
FL had to say about the tubes:
"Ordinarily
only an hour after entering the office my eyes would be tired but
not now, I am now able to work all day and almost never leave with
tired eyes. Before your lights, headaches were an everyday occurrence
in our office. It seemed as though every day my co-worker, my boss
or I would complain of moderate to severe headaches. Headaches are
now seldom mentioned and my boss is now able to go without his reading
glasses more often.
I work a ten
hour day but go home far more rested now than in the past. Since
the change dramatically coincided with the appearance of your lights,
I attribute this revitalization to your lights." Sounds too good
to be true? That's why I offer a 60 day money-back guarantee on
all our lighting products, because I know once you've put them in
you'll love them!
To help you
decide to experiment with them, I'm making you a very special offer.
If you order a package of 10 at a cost of $12.95 per tube, I will
give you a 10% discount. To purchase bulbs or flood lights, you'll
need to order a minimum of 4 of any size to get the 10% discount.
Shipping is extra. To help you make your decision, keep in mind
that the tubes last 33,000 hours and the bulbs and flood lights
last 20,000 hours. This actually makes these lighting products cost
effective over the life of the products.
To get the discounts,
you must call Sandy at my office to place your order. Call her at
800 77-RELAX. For more information about the tubes, go to my website
at www.Teplitz.com/lights.htm. This offer expires December 30.
