How do we know?A Nobel Prize- winning physiologist, Albert Szent-Gyorgyi MD, was the first to find how nutritional elements work together.He is credited with discovering Vitamin C.  He also discovered Vitamin P.How?In 1934 he gave fruit juice extract to a patient who suffered from scurvy, which is caused by a Vitamin C deficiency.  The patient quickly recovered from the scurvy.It wasn't long afterwards that a purified form of Vitamin C became available.  So, thinking that this purified form would give a better results to scurvy patients, he gave thepurified Vitamin C to another scurvy patient.  He was surprised to find out that the "purified" form of Vitamin C did not work as well as the fruit juice extract.In 1935, Szent-Gyorgyi studied the fruit juice extract and identified the "impurities" in the fruit juice, calling them Vitamin P.In today's terms, Vitamin P is known as bioflavonoids.  The bioflavonoids are the cofactors that help Vitamin C do it's job better.This Vitamin C- bioflavonoid connection is only one of thousands of similar factor/cofactor reactions that occur in nature.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5350338526340877456-4918590012126670469?l=drjeffhealthcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://drjeffhealthcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/4918590012126670469/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5350338526340877456&amp;postID=4918590012126670469' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5350338526340877456/posts/default/4918590012126670469'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5350338526340877456/posts/default/4918590012126670469'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://drjeffhealthcenter.blogspot.com/2011/10/vitamin-p.html' title='Vitamin P'/><author><name>Dr Jeff Health Center</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11726892294655958761</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5350338526340877456.post-3638432487881673389</id><published>2011-01-30T09:53:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-01-30T09:59:22.029-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='teeth'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='green tea'/><title type='text'>Green Tea-th</title><content type='html'>Yeah I know, a poor attempt at pun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Green tea has been shown to benefit the teeth as well as all the other benefits that it give.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The polyphenols in the tea help inhibit the growth of bacteria that cause tooth decay.

The effects were compared.  It was found that sports drinks caused corrosion in the enamel that would result in severe tooth decay if left untreated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These researchers cut cow's teeth in half and immersed one half in a sports drink and the other half in water.  The dental experts compared the result after around 90 minutes.  The comparison viewed that the tooth place in the sports drink had clearly visible erosion, compared to the tooth place in water, which had no erosion.  What was this erosion?  There were visible holes forming in the enamel of the sports drink immersed tooth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another odd finding came out of this study.  They found that brushing teeth immediately after tooth contact with sports drinks actually caused more damage.  This is because the sports drinks softened the teeth thereby leaving the teeth subject to abrasion while brushing.  It was the large amount of citric acid that actually softened the enamel to allow this to occur.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Think twice about the use of sports drinks.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5350338526340877456-4344469478315995458?l=drjeffhealthcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://drjeffhealthcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/4344469478315995458/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5350338526340877456&amp;postID=4344469478315995458' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5350338526340877456/posts/default/4344469478315995458'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5350338526340877456/posts/default/4344469478315995458'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://drjeffhealthcenter.blogspot.com/2009/04/sports-drinks.html' title='Sports Drinks'/><author><name>Dr Jeff Health Center</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11726892294655958761</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5350338526340877456.post-1748627760938843595</id><published>2009-03-25T03:09:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-03-25T03:18:13.114-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Chronic Pain Relief - The Natural Way</title><content type='html'>Boswellia - this is an Ayurvedic remedy that acts as an analgesic, or natural pain reliever.

It is a nitriloside, which occurs naturally in fruit seeds, some berries, flax, millet, and some beans, leaves, grasses and nuts. Discovered in 1882 by I.G. Farbin, and touted as a cure for cancer in 1922 by Dr. Ernst T. Krebs.  It has since been discredited by orthodox medicine as “quackery.”  This is largely due to the fact that orthodox medicine wants the complete financial market in cancer. Respected researcher Dr. Kanematsu Sugiura was fired after refusing to publish false test results on Laetrile – he stood firm in his belief in it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Want to read more?  http://surfingthetao.vox.com/library/post/eat-your-apple-seeds.html#comments&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5350338526340877456-6773827589368928685?l=drjeffhealthcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://drjeffhealthcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/6773827589368928685/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5350338526340877456&amp;postID=6773827589368928685' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5350338526340877456/posts/default/6773827589368928685'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5350338526340877456/posts/default/6773827589368928685'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://drjeffhealthcenter.blogspot.com/2009/01/yes-you-can-eat-apple-seeds.html' title='Yes You Can Eat Apple Seeds'/><author><name>Dr Jeff Health Center</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11726892294655958761</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_HNNrgFbf3pA/SXiwfPmINyI/AAAAAAAAAAM/1wh7IYUpCF4/s72-c/laetrl3.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5350338526340877456.post-3946908293204306739</id><published>2008-12-21T05:13:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-21T05:22:19.348-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Something's Fishy</title><content type='html'>Canadian researchers found that store-bought, farm raised salmon contains 3 to 6 times the WHO's daily recommendation for dioxin and polychlorinated biphenyls.

First find our the common allergenic foods that you consume, such as soy, dairy, citrus, wheat (gluten), nuts, etc.  Pick as many foods as you like and eliminate them for about 4 weeks.  One rule of thumb is that if you crave a food, this might actually be the one you are allergic to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. If your symptoms go away, you can reintroduce one food at a time for about 5 days each, taking care to note how you react to the reintroduction.

There are many outward expressions of inner problems that the body can show an observer.  We all know that pain is a signal that something is wrong.  This is not the type of signal I am alluding to.  I am talking about physical signs that occur as manifestations on inner disease or imbalances.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are some examples:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Beau's Lines - these are transverse depression in the nails that occur after a previous systemic disease.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bilot's Spots - On the sclera of the eye, small white patches appear which can suggest a vitamin A deficiency.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bouchard's Nodes - These are hard, painless nodules on the middle joints of the fingers that are associated with osteoarthritis.  They occur because of bone hypertrophy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cullen's Sign - This is an ecchymosis (small blue or purple patch on the skin) around the umbilicus (belly button) that can be associated with interperitoneal bleeding, a ruptured ectopic pregnancy, or hemorrhagic pancreatitis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gibbus - This is the angular convexity of the spine (usually on the upper back) due to vertebral collapse.

However, the type of sugar does matter.  The only sugar we need is in the form of complex carbohydrates like legumes, veggies, and whole grains.  Our bodies will do the work of converting it to glucose as needed.  The complex carbs that we eat are also loaded with other healthy ingredients and nutrients, unlike simple sugars and processed foods (empty calories).  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Did you know that eating just two teaspoons of sugar will throw our blood chemistry off for 8 hours?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Did you know that too much sugar actually creates stress?  Habitually eating sugar increases cortisol levels by 300% - 400% putting your body in a state of chronic stress.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Did you know that sugar consumption alters your body's pH levels?  Cancer only survives in an acid pH balance.  Your body's natural pH balance is 7.4, anything lower and you are looking at harm to your body.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Did you know that sugar supresses your immune system?  It inhibits white blood cells for up to 5 hours, it reduces the production of antibodies, it interferes with vitamin C, etc., etc.  Get the point?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sugar also causes protein damage through glycosylation.  This will lead to DNA damage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you can't afford to be sick, invest in being well.

Let me rephrase that.  Milk is excellent for CAUSING osteoporosis.

Most dieticians are falsely informed and push the use of milk out of one sided educational training.  A little (independent) research on the subject should clear these misconceptions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What about my calcium?

This is similar to the distillation process.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Distillation is one of the earliest forms of water treatment.  The Greeks used distillation on their ships to make sea water drinkable.  In Julius Caesar's time, they depended on solar distillation to provide their soldiers with drinkable water.

Gardasil is now involved in 15–20 percent of all VAERS reports that are filed.&lt;br /&gt;READ ENTIRE STORY: &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.aapsonline.org/nod/newsofday458.php"&gt;http://www.aapsonline.org/nod/newsofday458.php&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Serious reactions attributed to HPV vaccine According to a report from Judicial Watch, &lt;strong&gt;at least three deaths and 1,600 adverse reactions &lt;/strong&gt;have been connected to Merck’s new human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccine Gardasil. Causes of death were myocarditis, coronary artery thrombosis, and pulmonary embolism. Two of the deaths were of girls aged 12 and 19 years. The interval from vaccination to death ranged from several hours to about 2 weeks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Merck lobbyists work for HPV vaccine mandates; Texas governor bypasses legislature, as was predicted by parental rights advocates, the “recommendation” of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine (Gardasil) was immediately followed by legislative proposals to force 11-year-old girls to receive the vaccine as a condition of school attendance. Merck, which could make $1 billion per year in sales from mandatory Gardasil, is not only funding lobbyists but funneling money through Women in Government, an advocacy group made up of female legislators. A top official from Merck’s vaccine division sits on the Women in Government business council. The company refused to disclose the amount of money it has donated to that group or has spent on lobbying.&lt;br /&gt;READ ENTIRE STORY: &lt;a href="http://www.aapsonline.org/nod/newsofday392.php"&gt;http://www.aapsonline.org/nod/newsofday392.php&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;strong&gt;********HPV VACCINE RESEARCHER BLASTS MANDATE******&lt;/strong&gt;A lead researcher who has been working on the HPV vaccine development for more than 20 years has now gone public, saying that the mandate is wrong, and could result in higher rates of cervical cancer. Further, she accuses the drug companies of “overselling” the vaccine as a cancer preventative. Even though this researcher has a bias toward the vaccine and is indirectly funded by Merck, she warns against its mandate. &lt;a href="http://www.kpcnews.com/articles/2007/03/14/online_features/hpv_vaccine/hpv01.txt"&gt;Read the Story&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5350338526340877456-4375489137688042913?l=drjeffhealthcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://drjeffhealthcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/4375489137688042913/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5350338526340877456&amp;postID=4375489137688042913' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5350338526340877456/posts/default/4375489137688042913'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5350338526340877456/posts/default/4375489137688042913'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://drjeffhealthcenter.blogspot.com/2008/11/do-not-get-cervical-cancer-vaccine.html' title='Do NOT get Cervical Cancer Vaccine!'/><author><name>Dr Jeff Health Center</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11726892294655958761</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5350338526340877456.post-1107361585531139622</id><published>2008-11-06T05:25:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-06T05:27:55.403-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Be Holistic</title><content type='html'>"The Doctor of the Future Will Give No Medicine, Yet Will Interest His Patients in the Care of the Human Frame, in Diet, and the Cause and Prevention of Disease." by Thomas Edison.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5350338526340877456-1107361585531139622?l=drjeffhealthcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://drjeffhealthcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/1107361585531139622/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5350338526340877456&amp;postID=1107361585531139622' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5350338526340877456/posts/default/1107361585531139622'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5350338526340877456/posts/default/1107361585531139622'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://drjeffhealthcenter.blogspot.com/2008/11/be-holistic.html' title='Be Holistic'/><author><name>Dr Jeff Health Center</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11726892294655958761</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5350338526340877456.post-6431197538462386881</id><published>2008-11-06T05:14:00.003-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-06T05:22:36.705-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Fresh Air?</title><content type='html'>Would you eat a dangerous chemical?  No?  Then why would you breathe one in? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Almost 90% of air fresheners contain a chemical called phthalate.  The phthalate put into air fresheners helps it to stay suspended in the air.  Phthalates are also used in lotions, nail polish, and plastic toys, to name a few. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Phthalates are endocrine disruptors.  This is bad!  Disrupting the endocrine system will cause all sorts of problems in men and women.  For example, phthalates have been linked to abnormal development of the male reproductive system. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Instead of using air fresheners, the source of the odor should be removed.  Take out the trash,  open a window, or use clean natural air fresheners, like baking soda or other natural cleaning agents.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;for more health tips visit drjeffhealthcenter.com&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5350338526340877456-6431197538462386881?l=drjeffhealthcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://drjeffhealthcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/6431197538462386881/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5350338526340877456&amp;postID=6431197538462386881' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5350338526340877456/posts/default/6431197538462386881'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5350338526340877456/posts/default/6431197538462386881'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://drjeffhealthcenter.blogspot.com/2008/11/fresh-air_06.html' title='Fresh Air?'/><author><name>Dr Jeff Health Center</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11726892294655958761</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5350338526340877456.post-7553020548367937565</id><published>2008-11-06T05:10:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-06T05:12:23.503-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Invest</title><content type='html'>If you can't afford to be sick or injured, invest in being well.

Brain fog can be descibed in many different ways.  You may have unclear thinking or trouble concentrating, or you may appear confused or detached.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since your brain consumes about 20% of your body's energy, it is important to put the correct types of food into your body.  Most importantly, people should avoid sugar and high sugar content foods, as well as highly processed foods like white breads, sodas, and other sweets.  These types of foods metabolize too quickly and lead to spiking of blood sugar levels, which in turn leads to crashes and brain fog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most people in this situation need high quality proteins with their meals.  Proteins are absorbed more slowly than sugar and help to prevent spiking of blood sugar levels.  Foods like nuts, hard-boiled eggs, or any other natural source of protein will do.  You can add carrots, celery, sliced bell peppers, and cottage cheese as snacks so that you are not tempted to visit the vending machine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another cause of brain fog is food allergies.  As a personal story, I had experienced brain fog for about a year.  My diet was very clean, except for one thing, gluten.  I found that when I removed gluten containing food from my diet, the brain fog went away. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't forget candida!  Candida overgrowth stems from eating too many sugary foods, eating highly processed food, and using antibiotics.  Candida can mimic many forms of disease symptoms.  Brain fog is a very common symptom of candida overgrowth.  Use an anticandida diet and supplements to conquer this problem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although the cause may be difficult to pin down, it is important to keep looking.  The body is very good at hinting that something is wrong, and brain fog is a hint.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;for more health tips visit drjeffhealthcenter.com&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5350338526340877456-5447800611183287265?l=drjeffhealthcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://drjeffhealthcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/5447800611183287265/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5350338526340877456&amp;postID=5447800611183287265' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5350338526340877456/posts/default/5447800611183287265'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5350338526340877456/posts/default/5447800611183287265'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://drjeffhealthcenter.blogspot.com/2008/11/huh.html' title='Brain Fog'/><author><name>Dr Jeff Health Center</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11726892294655958761</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
