To see how nutrition might affect hearing, doctors in this study eliminated those who might have lost hearing due to infection, disease, trauma, noise, or ear-damaging drugs. Researchers tested 126 apparently healthy men and women, aged at least 60, and found that those with hearing loss in high frequencies the type most common with age or speech frequencies, had blood folate levels about one-third lower than those with normal hearing. People with more vitamin B12 also tended to have better hearing than those with lower B12 levels. Curcumin compound eases eye inflammation Swelling and irritation in the iris of the eye, or anterior uveitis (AU), can blur vision, be painful, make the eyes sensitive to light, and must be treated to avoid complications. In this study, 106 adults aged 21 to 68 with chronic AU, who were taking standard antiinflammatory eye medication, began taking 600 mg of a curcumin-soy phosphatidylcholine compound twice per day. After six weeks, 86 percent felt better. After one year, AU relapses had declined to 36 from 275 in the year before the study, an 88 percent improvement. DHA improved memory Doctors said that healthy people with memory complaints and those with Alzheimer s disease both tend to have low levels of the omega-3 docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). In this study, 485 otherwise healthy adults, aged at least 55, with impaired memory, took 900 mg of DHA per day, or a placebo. After six months, while the placebo group had not improved, those who had taken DHA had better memory and learning compared to the start of the study and made fewer errors on memory and learning tests compared to placebo. Researchers also found that DHA levels had doubled in the DHA group, and memory improved as DHA levels increased.

After eight weeks, antioxidant activity in the blood increased in both lycopene groups, and decreased for placebo. In the high-dose lycopene group, there was less DNA damage, better blood vessel flexibility, and a beneficial increase in the size of LDL cholesterol particles compared to the other two groups. Also, systolic blood pressure, and highsensitivity C-reactive protein a sign of inflammation declined significantly in the 15 mg lycopene group.

Healthy Blood Pressure Nutrients lowered high blood pressure and improved cholesterol Omega-3s and overweight boys In this study, 78 slightly overweight boys, aged 13 to 15, with normal blood

After four months, compared to placebo, omega-3 blood levels were one-and-a-half to two times greater in the omega-3 group; systolic and diastolic blood pressure were 3.8 and 2.

4 Healthy Blood Pressure Nutrients lowered high blood pressure and improved cholesterol Omega-3s and overweight boys In this study, 78 slightly overweight boys, aged 13 to 15, with normal blood pressure and blood fats, took 1,500 mg of omega-3 fish oil per day, or a placebo vegetable oil, both baked into bread. After four months, compared to placebo, omega-3 blood levels were one-and-a-half to two times greater in the omega-3 group; systolic and diastolic blood pressure were 3.8 and 2.6 mmhg lower, respectively; and HDL, the good cholesterol, had increased 5 percent. Melatonin eased metabolic syndrome Melatonin has many good effects, and researchers wanted to test it in metabolic syndrome. In the study, 30 Cancer Update Nutrients lower chances of cancer and assist in chemotherapy Omega-3, vitamins C and E, and pancreatic cancer In this study, researchers compared the diets of 532 people with pancreatic cancer to 1,701 people without. Those whose diets were low in saturated fats were 37 percent less likely to have pancreatic cancer, and those with diets high in monounsaturated fats were 50 percent less likely. For omega-3, those who consumed at least 850 mg per day were 53 percent less likely than those who got 580 mg or less; and for vitamins C or E, those who got the most were 30 percent less likely than those who got the least. people with metabolic syndrome who had not responded to a three-month lifestyle change program took 5 mg of melatonin two hours before bedtime. After two months, compared to the start of the study, systolic blood pressure had declined to from mmhg, diastolic pressure dropped to 75 from can lower chances of certain cancers. Researchers in this study compared the diets of 9,622 people with cancer to 16,050 others without. Overall, compared to those who got the least flavonoids, those who consumed the most flavonoids common in citrus fruits and dark green vegetables were 20 to 68 percent less likely to have cancer of the breast, colon/rectum, esophagus, kidney, larynx, mouth, or ovary. For proanthocyanidins found in red and purple plants, grapes, cocoa, nuts, and berries people who got the most were up to 33 percent less likely to have colorectal cancer mmhg, and LDL cholesterol fell to from mg per deciliter of blood. Also, antioxidant levels in the blood increased and signs of oxidative damage fell. Garlic extract lowered high blood pressure In this study, 50 people with uncontrolled high blood pressure who were taking prescription medication added 960 mg of aged garlic extract per day, or a placebo. After three months, those in the garlic group who had started the study with the highest systolic blood pressure at least 140 mmhg saw an average decline of 10.2 mmhg.

5 What is the difference between homeopathic HCG drops and HCG injections? Homeopathy is the second most widely used system of medicine in the world. It has been the primary medical system of choice for a great number of people in other countries for many years, with the allopathic methods being their secondary choice. (Allopathic healthcare is what we have here in the United States, which relies on pharmaceutical drugs and surgical procedures.) Homeopathicals have been used for many years to very effectively bring about healing and better health without the negative consequences and side effects that allopathic methods often have. Its popularity in the United States has grown dramatically over the last decade because homeopathy is effective, all natural and safe. There are no dangerous side effects with homeopathic remedies, and they can be taken along with other medications without worrying about adverse reactions. Homeopathic formulations function on the theory of "like heals like" and that a very small amount of the active ingredient brings about change, because of the unique way homeopathic products are produced. Homeopathic HCG is produced by taking pure full strength HCG and making it into a sublingual mixture through a process of dilution and succession. True homeopathic products, when tested in a typical lab, will come back negative for the active ingredient because the ingredient actually exists as a unique energy signature or imprint in the carrier liquid that cannot be measured chemically. This is also the reason homeopathic HCG drops will not show positive on a pregnancy test. It is important to realize that physical elements interact and affect each other in more ways than just chemically. Homeopathic products have continually baffled the American Medical Association when they fail in their chemical lab tests, yet are very successful when put to work in the human body. This has certainly been the case with homeopathic HCG used in the HCG diet program. If you are in doubt, read our real-life HCG weight loss success stories. They were the result of a very straightforward customer survey which also revealed what you can expect for average results not just the greatest success stories. Another difference is the method of administration. Sublingual HCG drops are used by placing them under the tongue, an area rich in capillaries, where it is

absorbed into the bloodstream. Our homeopathic HCG is manufactured in an FDA registered laboratory in the United States, and is prepared per the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States.

6 absorbed into the bloodstream. Our homeopathic HCG is manufactured in an FDA registered laboratory in the United States, and is prepared per the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States. It does not require a prescription. HCG injections, on the other hand, must be prescribed by a doctor and are administered by a shot into your muscle tissue. The cost of injections obviously is much higher due to the involvement of the doctor and clinic. What is Sublingual? What, then, does sublingual mean? It simply means taken under the tongue. You administer the liquid through a dropper directly under your tongue. Rather than swallowing it, the sublingual method actually causes it to be absorbed more directly into your system, through the tissue in your mouth rather than being subjected to the turmoil of the digestive system. Thus as long someone claims to be Homeopathic and sublingual is the route of administration that s it. It is a differentiation as a marketing ploy, nothing else, or just trying to avoid being called Homeopathic. As long on their bottle appears contents in dilutions of X or C they are selling homeopathy under the name of a glorified administrative route, that s all. All we can claim is a proprietary production process and that we are using FDA approved production facility, adhering to cgmp s with established SOP s and that our product is based on HCG of the highest grade of USP. You have to educate customers so they gravitate towards our even though; higher priced it is acceptable once they know how we produce our product. Stress, that it is strict Hannemanian approach with intensive hands on man-hours of productions. And also they all have to follow our Menu. The other ploy used against Homeopathic HCG is that it is too diluted to work (Prof. Rauscher s and me to prove otherwise later this year), you cannot mention that but just for your info, thus causing only water and muscle loss!!!! Obviously this standpoint is to be expected from M.D. s whose income is in balance and does not know anything about Homeopathy in the first place. Our answer is in the success of our clients/testimonials.

Breast Health Nutrients lower chances, recurrence, and extend life in breast disease Nuts and fiber reduce cancer chances Rapidly reproducing breast-tissue cells create lesions, called proliferative

7 Breast Health Nutrients lower chances, recurrence, and extend life in breast disease Nuts and fiber reduce cancer chances Rapidly reproducing breast-tissue cells create lesions, called proliferative benign breast disease (PBD), which can raise chances for breast cancer. In this study, researchers measured the diets of 29,480 high school women and followed up for four years. Women who consumed the most fiber as adolescents were 25 percent less likely to have PBD compared to those who got the least fiber, and those who ate two or more servings of nuts per week were 36 percent less likely than women who ate less than one serving of nuts per month. Vitamins may improve cancer outcomes Antioxidant vitamins protect healthy cells, but some doctors fear they may also protect cancer cells, reducing the effects of radiation and chemotherapy treatment. In this study, researchers interviewed 4,877 women being treated for invasive breast cancer, aged 20 to 75, and followed up for four years. Compared to women who did not take supplements, those who took normal doses of vitamins E, C, or multivitamins were 15 percent more likely to survive and 18 percent less likely to see cancer recur. Survival rates rose and recurrence rates fell the longer the women took supplements. Researchers concluded antioxidants did not interfere with treatment. Soy isoflavones lowered cancer recurrence In hormone-sensitive breast cancer, estrogen and progesterone fuel tumor growth, which doctors block or inhibit with anti-hormone drugs. Soy isoflavones act like estrogen and, with more women eating soy, researchers wanted to analyze any effect on cancer outcomes. Scientists measured the diets of 524 women, aged 29 to 72, about half of whom were premenopausal, half postmenopausal. The women had undergone surgery for this type of breast cancer, and were receiving anti-hormone therapy. Cancer was 13 percent less likely to recur in women who consumed the most soy isoflavones. Reference: Cancer Causes and Control; 2010, Volume 21, No. 7, May s Ahead of the Curve Early-Stage Nutrition Discoveries: Protect Brain Cells Promising findings in the lab pave the way for human trials later Vitamin E protects after stroke In a stroke, blood flow to the brain declines, triggering toxic inflammation that can kill brain cells. In this lab study, researchers recreated a toxic stroke environment in the brain cells of mice, then added tocotrienol, a form of vitamin E. Toxicity decreased 60 percent, and brain cells with tocotrienol were four times more likely to survive as those without. Researchers said people who regularly take tocotrienol would have levels sufficient to protect cells after a stroke, and that this little-studied form of vitamin E targets specific pathways to protect against neural cell death and rescues the brain after stroke injury. Journal of Neurochemistry; 2010, Vol. 112, No. 5, Selenium and melatonin protect after stroke After a stroke, when blood supply returns to the brain, free radicals can cause more oxidative damage to brain cells. In this lab study, researchers introduced selenium and melatonin into rats 30 minutes before reducing blood flow to the brain, then restored blood flow and immediately treated with another dose of selenium and melatonin, and continued dosing for three more days. Compared to those not dosed, the selenium and melatonin group had more and better spontaneous motor activity in the areas of the brain that control movement, speech, and vision. Selenium-melatonin reduced free radical activity and oxidative damage from lack of blood flow and from returning blood flow.

Researchers thought that Pycnogenol might be more effective if participants began taking the nutrient before allergy season. In the study, 39 people took 50 mg of Pycnogenol each morning and evening, or a placebo, five to eight weeks before birch-allergy season. By the end of the season, signs of allergic reaction were 61 percent greater for placebo than for Pycnogenol. The Pycnogenol group also had 35 percent fewer eye symptoms and 20 percent fewer nasal symptoms than placebo. Those who began taking Pycnogenol seven to eight weeks ahead of allergy season, compared to those who began five to six weeks ahead, had the greatest relief.
