Here is an excerpt from a report recently released by <\/strong><\/p>\n

Orthomolecular Medicine News Service, August 10, 2012<\/strong><\/p>\n

Vitamin therapy pioneer Abram Hoffer, M.D., once stated that the worst fate vitamin bashers could experience would be to never, ever have use of the nutrition supplements they so often criticize.\u00a0 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 over-medicated 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]<\/p>\n

Vitamins are not the problem; they are the solution. Taking supplemental B-vitamins<\/a>, vitamin E<\/a> and vitamin D<\/a> each individually<\/strong> reduces lung cancer by 50%. [4-7] Vitamin C<\/a> 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]<\/p>\n

<\/em>Consumer Reports<\/em>, September 2012, wrote a report titled,\u00a0 “10 Hidden Dangers of Vitamins” . Based on the above FACTS, Consumer Reports should stick to testing laundry appliances. That’s what they are good at.<\/p>\n

For optimum health follow healthy lifestyle recommendations suggested in Lorene Benoit’s book: The Paw Paw Program – A “Christopher Columbus” Approach to Cancer – <\/em><\/a><\/strong>The World IS Round and Cancer CAN Be Treated Naturally<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n
