[AlternativeAnswers] Dr Bate's newsletter 8/13 - Chicken Little

*FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE*
*Orthomolecular Medicine News Service, August 10, 2012*
Let's All Do Exactly What Consumer Reports Tells Us To

*Commentary by Andrew W. Saul, Editor*

(OMNS Aug 10, 2012) Chicken Little was in the library one day when a copy
of *Consumer Reports* for September 2012 fell on her head. She read their
"10 Hidden Dangers of Vitamins" and it scared her so much she trembled all
over. Why? Because Chicken Little had read other negative articles on
nutrition supplements. . . and now this! She became so afraid that half her
feathers fell right out.

"Help! Help!" she said. "Vitamins are killing us! I have to go
tell the President!"So she ran in great fright to tell the President. Along
the way she met Henny Penny

. "Where are you going, Chicken Little?" said Henny Penny.

"Oh, help! Vitamins are killing us!" said Chicken Little.

"How do you know?" said Henny Penny.

"I read it with my own eyes," said Chicken Little, "It was in *Consumer
Reports*! And part of it fell on my head!"

"Vitamins are killing us? This is terrible, just terrible!" said Henny
Penny. "We'd better hurry up."

So they both ran away as fast as they could. Soon they met Ducky Lucky.

"Where are you going, Chicken Little and Henny Penny?"

"Vitamins are killing us! Vitamins are killing us!" said Chicken Little and
Henny Penny. "We're going to tell the President!"

"How do you know vitamins are killing people?" said Ducky Lucky.

"I read it with my own eyes in *Consumer Reports*," said Chicken Little,
"And heard it with my own ears on the news, saw it on the internet, and the
magazine fell on my head."

"Oh dear, oh dear!" Ducky Lucky. "We'd better run!"

So they all ran down the road as fast as they could. Soon they met Goosey
Loosey walking down the roadside.

"Hello there. Where are you all going in such a hurry?"

"We're running for our lives!" said Chicken Little.

"Vitamins are killing us!" said Henny Penny.

"And we're running to tell the President!" said Ducky Lucky.

How do you know that vitamins are killing people?" said Goosey Loosey.

"I read it in *Consumer Reports*," said Chicken Little, "And part of it
fell on my head!"

"Goodness!" said Goosey Loosey. "Then I'd better run with you."

And they all ran in great fright across a field. Before long they met
Turkey Lurkey strutting back and forth.

"Hello there, Chicken Little, Henny Penny, Ducky Lucky, and Goosey Loosey.
Where are you all going in such a hurry?"

"Help! Help!" said Chicken Little. "Vitamins are killing us!"

"We're running for our lives!" said Henny Penny.

"And by the way, the sky is falling!" added Ducky Lucky.

"So we're running to tell the President!" said Goosey Loosey.

"How do you know that vitamins are killing us?" asked Turkey Lurkey.

"*CONSUMER REPORTS* SAID SO!" they all answered together.

"Oh dear!" said Turkey Lurkey. "I always suspected those damned supplements
were dangerous! I'd better run with you."

So they ran with all their might, until they met Pharma Fred the Fox.

"Well, well, well," said Pharma Fred. "Where are all of you rushing off to
on such a fine day?"

"Help! Help!" cried Chicken Little, Henny Penny, Ducky Lucky, Goosey
Loosey, and Turkey Lurkey all together. "It's not a fine day at all.
Vitamins are killing us, the sky is falling, and we're running to tell the
President!"

"But of course vitamins are killing you," cooed Pharma Fred the Fox. "Now
all of you calm down. Here, have a Prozac."

Chicken Little, Henny Penny, Ducky Lucky, Goosey Loosey, and Turkey Lurkey
each swallowed a few Prozacs, and some Valium for good measure.

"Well then," said Pharma Fred the Fox. "How did you learn of how dangerous
those vitamin supplements really are?"

"I read it with my own eyes in *Consumer Reports*," said Chicken Little.

"I see," said Pharma Fred the Fox. "Well then, come with me. I'll take you
straight to the President. Yes, indeed I will!"

So Pharma Fred the Fox led Chicken Little, Henny Penny, Ducky Lucky, Goosey
Loosey, and Turkey Lurkey away. He led them across a field and through the
woods, but took them nowhere at all near 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Pharma
Fred led them straight to his den, and none of them ever saw the President.

However, Foxy Pharma Fred had a most delicious dinner.

The moral of the story? Vitamin therapy pioneer Abram Hoffer, M.D., once
told me that the worst fate vitamin bashers could experience would be to
never, ever have use of the nutrition supplements they so often criticize.
As for the rest of us, the sky is not falling. There is not even one death
from vitamins over the last 28 years. [1] We are a nation of sick,
undernourished, and overmedicated people. Half the population is on
prescription drugs. [2] Pharmaceuticals, taken as directed, kill over
100,000 per year just in the US. [3] Antibiotics cause 700,000 emergency
room visits per year, just in the US. [3] Modern drug-and-cut medicine is
at least the third leading cause of death in the USA. Some estimates place
medicine as the number one cause of death. [3] Over 1.5 million Americans
are injured every year by drug errors in hospitals, doctors' offices, and
nursing homes. [3] If in a hospital, a patient can expect at least one
medication error every single day. [3]

Vitamins are not the problem; they are the solution. Taking supplemental
B-vitamins, vitamin E and vitamin D each *individually* reduces lung cancer
by 50%. [4-7] Vitamin C stops cancer more effectively than chemotherapy.
[8-10] HIV-positive persons taking vitamins are 50% less likely to develop
AIDS. [11] And if they do, AIDS patients taking supplements have a 27%
lower death rate. [3]

*Consumer Reports* should stick to testing laundry appliances. That's what
they are good at.

[AlternativeAnswers] Men's Health Week: Coping with Andropause

Good Morning!

Men's Health Week: Coping with Andropause

As men age, they can experience a phenomenon, which is similar to female
menopause, called Andropause. By the time a man reaches the age of 30,
testosterone levels begin dropping by about 10 percent every decade. Young men
often have testosterone levels exceeding 1000ng/dl. Look at the comparison of an
80 year-old men, whose average testosterone is 200ng/dl.

Between the ages of 40 and 55, bodily changes occur very gradually in men and
may be accompanied by changes in attitudes and moods, fatigue, a loss of energy,
sex drive and physical agility. In addition, attitudes, psychological stress,
alcohol, injuries or surgery, medications, obesity and infections can contribute
to its onset. This also seems to happen at a time in a man's life when they
begin to question their accomplishments, values and direction in life.
Therefore, it is often hard to realize that the changes that are occurring are
often related to more than just external situations.

Although age does play a factor in testosterone levels, there is no way of
predicting who will experience andropause symptoms and to what degree of
severity. Neither is it predictable at what age symptoms will occur in a
particular individual. Each man's symptoms may be different. It has been shown
that a man's physical health and mental well-being can play apart in the varying
degrees of signs and symptoms. Men who eat right, exercise on a regular basis
and are content in love and work, seem to experience symptoms, much less and or
later in life than those men who are obese, physically unfit, unhappy or
depressed.

Productivity is at the center of a man's existence. A man's productivity is what
gets him noticed and appreciated. This helps him climb the ladder of success,
bringing home the "bacon" and be recognized as the bread winner. As he ages, the
productivity tends to switch to self-satisfying tasks and those, which give him
purpose.

The Scoop on Human Growth Hormones (HGH)

Some scientific evidence shows that trophic factors, such as growth hormone,
estrogen, and testosterone, may help combat the aging process. Growth hormone,
in particular, may reduce frailty and help older people maintain independence,
but studies are showing mixed results. The National Institutes on Aging (NIA) in
Bethesda, Md., was awarded grants to eight researchers to study the HGH in 1992.
To this day, studies are mixed in their results. Taking growth hormones may
cause sometimes, serious side effects, including carpal tunnel syndrome,
worsening of diabetes, high triglyceride levels and fluid retention leading to
congestive heart failure. "The clinical usefulness remains unclear," the NIA
said in a statement.

Top 10 Ways To Cope With Andropause

1. Change your diet: Cut back on the fried foods, saturated fats and sweets! Eat
cleaner, healthier, live food. Eating is a learned behavior so poor eating
habits can be "unlearned".

2. Get moving: Exercise not only is a great remedy for depression, it is a great
hormone builder. It truly gets the juices flowing!

3. Have more sex: Safe, satisfying, mind-bending. Remember, our mind is our most
powerful sex organ. Use that to your advantage.

4. Find more satisfaction in your work: Not doing the job of your dreams? Don't
you think it's about time you did! Put your fears away (for once) and just go
for it already!

5. Make your relationship the best it can be: If you have one, mix it up a bit.
Make it "new again". Go back to the basics... Send flowers, go somewhere new, go
out on a "date". If you don't have a relationship, then try directing your
intentions in the right place.

6. Coping strategies are important: Talk to others who may be experiencing what
you are feeling. Find some therapy in a group session, a private therapist or go
online and find a chat room.

7. Strengthen mental attitudes: Positive thinking. Maintain a sharp, mental
approach. Live intelligently!

8. Take control of your life: You are responsible for living a longer life. You
alone. You are in charge as to how long and how well you will live.

9. Stay creative: Fresh ideas are one of the best approaches for improving any
area in your life. Get inspired from things around you.

10. Stay healthy: Good arterial health is a must. High blood pressure, high
cholesterol levels, excessive stress, poor diet, lack of exercise are your
ticket to a downward spiral.
