As read in several medical sources, in the 16th through 18th centuries sailors on ships, just not the British Ships, had problems because of the lack of Vitamin C in their diet food sources that lead to the disease of Scurvy.  The symptoms were horrific that often lead to death, which historians state often decimated a ship's crew.  Most likely many modern-day education systems, which children and young-adults participate, include the history of scurvy and the cure with taking Vitamin C as the cure that is often taught. 

What is not often taught, is Vitamin C requires other minerals and vitamins to properly replenish our bodies with needed building and maintenance materials.  Understanding the simple requirement of Vitamin C in curing Scurvy should reveal to all of us that simply eating favorite food that taste good is not always going to give the requirements of our body.

• The problems we all face as human-beings, may have solutions, to increase life and the quality of life which requires learning what is the best for our bodies.

Background

At around the age of 16, this author starting taking Vitamin C, E and Beta Carotene daily.  When reaching around the age of 30, additional supplements such as Saw Palmetto, Vitamin D were added.  When reaching around the age of 40, the list expanded to include many others that are listed below.  At 58 years old, the list was expanded and some supplements went on a daily schedule and others taken sporadically. 

When researching MD and Nutritionist web sites, these following points are a culmination and are very important for everyone's health.  You should/may require Doctor approval/consultation along with more refined recommendations:

1. Eat a balanced diet of fruits, vegetables and proteins.  
2. Red meat should be limited to a few days a week.  If possible, limit red meat to only a few times a week, substituting red meat with fish, chicken, turkey, and pork along with other types of protein foods. 
3. Limit or eliminate animal fats in cooking.   As an example, there are plenty of substitute options for butter in cooking such as peanut oil and olive oil.  Absolutely never use Margarine!
4. Try to stay away from all processed types of foods in favor of natural.  The problem with many foods that taste great is because they contain saturated fat, high levels of sugar and sodium.
5. Get adequate and routine sleep.
6. Drink plenty of water.
7. If able, exercise a minimal of 4 days a week for at least 1 hour which consists of targeting all of the muscle groups in the body.
8. Take vitamins and supplements to ensure the body is getting what is required that our diet is not providing.
9. Participate in mutually beneficial interaction with others in your family and friends.
10. If possible, maintain a routine sexual lifestyle within a committed marriage.
11. Spend time with God in prayer, worship and study.

Note that there is a lot of information that a person's blood type, may be an indicator how much or what food should be consumed.  This author's blood type is a "O+", where according to research, I accumulated in this document, which contains foods are good, bad and neutral for my Blood Type.  This does not mean the other Blood Types should use this document and also this document is meant for research purposes only.

Summary Thoughts on Vitamins and Supplements

Some reference points to consider:

• It is better for our bodies to have food and supplements that make our natural processes in the body in general which includes our organs, muscles, brain and glands to perform as God intended them to. 
• Our bodies are often deficient in what is needed to maintain optimum health.
• Exercise helps the body to sustain and maintain the neutral pH Balance in the tissues, good blood and cellular fluid levels, reduces the built of acid in the body.
• Exercise can create endorphins that are used as receptors in the brain and body that can give a positive outlook on life.
• Exercise helps the body to create muscles, reduce fat and keep joints healthier.  A common expression is "We have to move to lube".

As Christian's it is also very important to be physically fit for other reasons.

According to MD and Nutritionist information, as we get older our bodies become less able to absorb needed vitamins such as B-12, C, D, E and others because our stomach acids are not as strong, we do not have as much stomach acid along with many other contributing factors. 

The predominating research found points to keeping our bodies highly tuned earlier in life to have more ability to absorb needed vitamins and nutrients later in life.  There is no chart or correlation to age vs. absorption that can be used for everyone, as not everyone is in the same status of health. 

Many MD and Nutritionist recommendations recommend consulting your Doctor first before starting a vitamin program.  It is the opinion of this author that this is a very good recommendation, especially for those who are advanced in age, have medical issues and of course any concerns.

Importance of Medicine

Medicine is vitally important and there is no substitute for it when it is required.  All of us have used head ache medicine and potentially different types of medicine to recover from a bad cold or the flu.  Another example is medicines are vitally important for those who are going through cancer.

Some additional reference points on medicine to consider:

• Many of the medicines, while they work, are designed to "make" processes occur that are not working.
• May be designed to mask a symptom such as pain. 
• Are designed to stop an abundance of something the body is producing that is harmful when at high levels such as to much cholesterol.

Keep in mind the mantra of unfortunately the perceived notion of too many Pharmaceutical Companies: "A patient cured is a customer lost."

Mankind and Nature's Predicament

Remember that God make our bodies to function optimally based on the points listed above BUT we are fallen creatures that are subject to the health weaknesses and problems that were inherited from Adam and Eve because of the consequences of rebellion against God.  We are all aware of birth defects, genetic disorders and so much more where there is the belief by many Christian Scientists that we are not evolving but devolving as human beings. Additionally, everything in our environment is not yielding the strength of vitamins, nutrients and benefits to us in health that it once was able to give.  One proof of this is amino-acids found in wheat in ancient relics of Egypt do not exist today.

Some incorrectly correlate technological advancements, longer lives because of medicine and abundance of food choices with vitamins and humans being becoming taller as proof of becoming better.  (For more information on changes in all areas of creation see evolution. )

We have to look for additional means for augmenting and supplementing the food sources for our imperfect bodies. This will help us to be productive and happy in our lives at all ages.

For those who do NOT believe in Supplements/Vitamins

Often, many people will say that vitamins are a waste of money.  These same people will take a tiny aspirin to alleviate a headache or take a prescription that helps them get well.  How is it that one tiny aspirin can do so much but some people cannot believe that a vitamin can also do good?

It also interesting that any of us who have gone with parents, that are advanced in age, to get a check-up from a Doctor, will often have the Doctor suggest B-12 for memory and Vitamin C with E.  Rhetorically, the question to consider is if these are being suggested at an later stage in age for someone, is there any benefits for people who are younger?

The List and Foods to Avoid

Never take supplements on an empty stomach.  Always take them towards the end or after a meal.  To assist in taking vitamins, be in the process of eating something and before swallowing, take some or all of the vitamins in the mouth and then sip something followed by swallowing.

This list is tailored and customized for this author and is for your own research.  At this time, this author is

• 58 years old,
• Runs/walks 3 to 5 miles several times a week,
• Rides a bike 10 to 26 miles a few times a week,
• Lift weights at home several times a week which consists of curls, bench press and Ab Roller Wheel. 

My eye sight is still 20/20 with no Lasik surgery or glasses, all levels of cholesterol, testosterone, etc are average for being 58 years old and intimacy drive is strong.

Brands of supplements is very important to ensure potency, quality, and your bodies absorption.  Some Vitamins such as C have several types which may require research so that their is no irritation or upsetting of the stomach.  As mentioned above, consult your Doctor for advice and directions that are best for your health requirements.  

This list is to help you understand some of your bodies required needs which you may not be getting enough of in your normal diet.  There are many benefits of each supplement, which you should also research on the Internet.  In the list there is a column for a generalized summary benefits or notes.  ALWAYS TAKE VITAMINS WITH FOOD and never on empty stomach.
 

List of BEST cooking oils

Coffee Choice

Be aware of many coffees contains the toxin Ochratoxin A.  The substance Ochratoxin A attacks your bladder and kidneys.  Our bodies see the toxin and grabs fluids to try to dilute the toxin and flush it out of our body.

Probiotics

It is sometimes necessary to take Probiotics for assisting in the body's immune system, wellness and digestion.  Unfortunately, there are many Probiotic supplements, purchased off-the-shelf or internet sources, that are no good because the Probiotic bacteria strains have died. 

There is a verification test for many of the Probiotics types.   According to many internet sources, the test is to take warm organic vitamin D milk in a cup and placing an open Probiotic capsule into the milk.  If the milk starts to form curds or clumps, within an hour or two, then the Probiotic is still active.  There are still some Probiotics, such as Bifdobacterium, that will not turn the milk into lumps so this needs to be considered when purchasing a brand.

It is this author's opinion that the best choice of Probiotics is the refrigerated brands that can be purchased at many vitamin stores.  The optimal benefit is to take a Probiotic in the mid-morning where there has been at least one hour since the last meal and there will be at least one hour for the next meal.

Exercising

As mentioned above in this topic, from the Christian Perspective, it is very important to stay healthy to honor God as we all are a Temple to the Holy Spirit.  There are many examples of people who have changed their quality of life by simply doing a sustained regiment of exercise that includes all of the muscle groups of the body. 

Many people, as they get older, stop exercising or only do long slow walks.  Walking is a good exercise but if possible, carry some light weights to combine the time with movements in your arms.  One of this author's favorite examples of staying healthy is Jack LaLanne, who has inspired me a great deal.

Fenbendazole as a Cancer Preventative and Cleanser of the Intestine

See this fascinating link https://www.cancertreatmentsresearch.com/fenbendazole/ on information concerning Fenbendazole.   If the link is moved, here is a PDF copy (click here.)   This author is not endorsing Fenbendazole as an absolute cure, and is only mentioned as possibly an aid to be done in conjunction with a Medical Doctor's advisement.

Fenbendazole, according to some news articles, is apparently a potential choice for preventing and also dealing with cancer along with keeping the intestine clean of parasites that are unhealthy.  Some additional articles on cancer prevention, is stating that our digestive abilities become impeded by parasite bacteria as we get older, where Fenbedazole will kill/eliminate these parasites that rob the body of vital nutritional elements that are part of fighting off cancer.

The article suggests using Fenbedazole, the commonly used anti-worm medication for dogs, on a "three days on" and then "four days off" pattern.  The important part is selecting a specific dosage of 1 gram.  Do your own research on this and see if this is something your Doctor would recommend.  

Note: This author has not been diagnosed with cancer.  I do not use a "three / four day" program, but once every few months I will take a dosage as a preventative measure and a way of cleaning my body.   The next day, I sometimes experience a more fluid bathroom purge, where I will take Probiotics for a few days after to replenish the good microorganisms in my digestive system that may be effected by the Fenbendazole.

This is a great article: Against All Odds, How Jane McLelland Survived Terminal Cancer

Fenbendazole is also known as Panacurc Canine De-wormer.  Click here to see what the package looks like which is obtainable through places like Amazon.

Carnivora

Take some time to read about Carnivora as a supplement to activate your cancer fighting potential of your body.  As we age, our bodies abilities to fight cancer cells dwindles because of the lack of nutrition and chemical enzymes that normally would react to eliminate cancer. 

There have been suggestions of taking this with Carnivora which will act as an increased facilitator for the use of Carnivora by your body

Vein Cleanse and Heart Disease

There is some information coming out on ways to cleanse and also build up vein and heart health.  There is a suggestion in the link below of: (a) L-Ascorbate (Vitamin C) 5-6 grams a day in divided doses; (b)   L-Lysine 5 grams a day in divided doses; (c)  L-Proline 2-3 grams a day in divided doses; (d) The Tocotrienol form of Vitamin E.

An excerpt from this article:

Alzheimer's and Dementia

Alzheimer's and Dementia have always been around, but according to some health websites, by Medical Doctors, there may be more occurrences of the two in more people's lives, than in previous times, along with increased occurrences in earlier ages.  There some suggested theories that maybe a possibility of more occurrences because of:

• The use of antidepressants types of prescriptions.
• More advanced medicines used in treatments for health problem where the advanced medicines are yielding great results but there may be long-term side-effects.
• More people leaving sedentary lives with no exercise, where exercise increases blood flow and oxygen levels amongst many other positives. 
• Excessive and abusive use of alcohol.
• Increased consumption of sugar.

As always, consult your Doctor before taking any suggestions on this topic. 

Turmeric Forte

Recently, a cousin of mine who is the same age, where Alzheimer's is present in his side of the families' ancestors, was diagnosed with both Alzheimer's and Dementia at age where it is not normal.  After hearing from my cousin, I contacted a nutritionist friend who recommended using:

Turmeric Forte from Standard Process

after each meal to aid the in the illness.  My cousin has found it to be very useful and found it very noticeable on helping him to have normal  conversations, where before becoming more and more difficult.  He and others who have Alzheimer's and Dementia are describing the experience of dealing with the illness as having a "brain fog" that is difficult to remember short-term memories and thoughts.

There are also medicines and other supplements that may be helpful, where Turmeric Forte may be an additional regiment to be added for those with one or both of the illnesses.  Additionally, a little bit of cinnamon is a good recommendation as being added to your favorite coffee or tea times on a daily basis.

Additional ways to combat against Alzheimer and Dementia

This list is from Dr. Eric Berg from his video: Real Cause of Alzheimer's is not Amyloid Plaque in the Brain

Dr. Berg suggests:

1. Reduce Glucose - it is a potential trigger of autophagy.
2. Fasting - Implement prolonged once a week fasting.
3. Use of Herbal supplements
   (a) Curcumin
   (b) Pine Bark (Pycnogenol)

5. Diet Ketones - SCFA - Ketosis diet
6. Exercise - (This author would state all muscle groups just leg or upper body muscles but both.)
7. Sleep - (This author would state six to eight hours a night, and naps during day if possible that can be after arriving home.)
8. Extra Virgin Olive Oil in food preparation and use
9. Heat / Cold Therapy - This is a new science of emersion into cold water or cold therapy facilities.

Candida Albicans?

There are some research documentation on medical blogs that state a cause in a small percentage of Alzheimer and Dementia patients is a gut flora called Candida Albican that infect the brain.  Here is an email with information on using Borax that might be useful, which as always consult your Doctor:  Using GcMAFplus and Borax to treat Alzheimer's and here is some additional information on Borax.
