* People with low levels of vitamin C in the blood are more likely
to become infected with Helicobacter pylori, bacteria that can
cause
peptic ulcers and stomach cancer. High levels of vitamin C may
prevent
peptic ulcers, which are sores in the lining of the stomach or
upper
portion of the small intestine, and stomach cancer.
* Take a low dose of pure niacin, 50 mg. to 100 mg., when you
have a
headache. Pure niacin works better than any manufactured pain
reliever,
and it's healthy and natural.
* Recovering alcoholics have a higher risk of becoming addicted
to
diet colas due to the methanol, wood alcohol, content in aspartame.
* Many allergens can be eliminated using digestive enzymes opposed
to allergy medicines because the enzymes digest the protein in
the
allergens that cause allergic reactions, especially seasonal allergies
and mold.
* It's recommended to take digestive enzymes AFTER a meal so
to
encourage the stomach's natural enzymes to produce more efficiently
on their own. If the meal is high in fat, processed sugars, or
added
chemicals, extra enzymes may be required to assist the body in
assimilating unwanted food additives.
* An aspirin-a-day doesn't prevent stroke or heart attack. Used
best
for emergency response situations for immediate relief of heart
attacks,
long-term use of aspirin robs the body of the heart-nutrient magnesium
and thins the lining of the stomach.
