Reversing the Disease State
There are four keys to reversing and preventing disease states.
first is halting cellular mutations which increase as we age due to oxidation otherwise known as free radical damage. We accomplish this by supplementing the body with high dose wide spectrum antioxidants from the fruit and plant kingdom.
Secondly, we must provide our cells with maximum organic nutrition from whole foods not synthetics like margarine or fake super sugars like high fructose corn syrup.... 50 times more concentrated then white refined table sugar. Our cells need high energy foods rich in the healthy types of protein, fats, complex carbohydratess and fiber.

My Top Biotechnology Labs for making perfect Supplements
I have researched the supplement industry for 37 years... I and 4 other scientists tested 1200 supplement companies and only 3 tested out at more then 50% Bio-Available to the cellular level or in other words how much of the supplement gets into your cells... and I want to say without hesitation or reservation that if your supplements are not made by a Biotechnology Lab...you are most likely slowly poisoning yourself to death... Cheap raw materials from China ...the most polluted place on earth is where 99.2% of all supplement companies go through today, to make very inexpensive supplements even if they charge you top retail prices. I consider Douglas Labs the # 1 company in the world by far for making Supplements!!!
So here are the best companies in the world who have the Lab sophistication and the integrity to make perfect supplements with no toxins in them at all...and all raw materials are sourced from organic sources.
The # 1 Biothech Lab exclusively making Nutritional supplements with a line of over 1200 Nutraceuticals is DOUGLAS LABS...Douglas Labs only sells through Dr.'s of some kind as their products are so very powerful...I tested their Bio-availability to 99 to 99.99% bio available to the cellular level ...by far the highest ever tested...they have several types of Atomic Plasma spectrograph's to look at what they have made down to the Molecular level and they can produce certificates for ISO 9001 and ISO 17025 the only company in the world to have the 2 highest Laboratory standards on the planet.
#2 is Thorne Labs of Canada
# 3 is Metagenics
#4 Carlson's....they make Vitamin E and great fish oils and only several other products but they are expanding.
#5 World of Health Shops of Australia
I am looking at several others who claim to have ISO certifications and will report more later on.
Any company which is ISO certified tends to sell only through doctors so if you need something I will get it for you with 10% off their suggested retail price...
Much Love and Light, Dr Lawrence Sosna

LIFE SAVING INFORMATION
IMPORTANT NEWS AND INFORMATION WHICH COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE
By Lawrence Sosna N.D. PhD HHP
By Lawrence Sosna N.D. PhD HHP

Most people have NOT heard about glycation or methylation, because to balance these bodily functions, you need unique supplements that are not found in your daily multi-vitamins. I pledge to bring you life enhancing knowledge and the best Supplements from real certified Bio-Technology companies that only specialize in Nutritional Supplements and have the best staff of PhD’s who I have personally interviewed to establish their level of expertise
Glycation
Glycation
Glycation can be even more hazardous to your health than free radicals. Glycation is a complex process, but in essence, it causes interference in your body's ability to obtain the amino acids it needs from the protein-rich foods in your diet.
During digestion, protein-rich foods are broken down into smaller molecules called amino acids. The body then uses the amino acids to form new types of proteins needed to create cells, tendons, ligaments fibers, cartilage, joints and bones. When substances causing glycation, which are mainly sugars and simple carbohydrates, disrupt this process, then the construction of new cells slows way down and cell repair and regeneration is greatly reduced!.The end result is muscle weakness, pain, tiredness and through time chronic disease. Just as antioxidants can act as a counterbalance to free radicals, an amino acid complex called L- Carnosine Plus, can prevent glycation. As an added bonus, Carnosine Plus is an effective anti-aging treatment.

As an added bonus, Carnosine Plus is an effective anti-aging treatment.
Methylation
Methylation is complex biochemical process that is roughly the reverse of glycation. Methylation is vital to life and it must be operating at optimal levels, or serious health problems like heart disease, depression, high cholesterol and liver disease may develop. While we want to inhibit glycation, we want to encourage methylation, which normally slows down as we age. Methylation does not always occur at optimal levels, due to malnourishment or disease. The body needs the B-vitamins, Tri-Methyl-Glycine (TMG), folic acid and a unique nutrient known as SAM-e to restore any imbalances in methylation caused by aging and disease. Sam-e is very important to the methylation process. You will see SAM-e supplements sold in drugstores alongside your multi-vitamins. They are often recommended as natural anti-depressants, but they are hardly ever effective for two reasons. B-vitamins must be present in adequate amounts or the body cannot use it. An enteric coating must be included on the tablet or the stomach acid will negatively affect the body's ability to absorb it.
Enteric Coating
The enteric coating is a critical element in any supplement containing Sam-e, because it will allow the supplement to pass through the stomach acid and into the small intestine where it can be efficiently broken down and absorbed into the bloodstream.
Your daily multi-vitamin probably contains B-vitamins and some antioxidants, but it is unlikely to have an enteric coating because it is expensive to add. Most vitamin manufacturers also leave out the most natural antioxidants like: flavonoids, turmeric, alpha lipoic acid, resveratrol, glutathione, carnosine, SAM-e and TMG.

Most vitamin manufacturers also leave out the most natural antioxidants like: flavonoids, turmeric, alpha lipoic acid, resveratrol, glutathione, carnosine, SAM-e and TMG.
The importance of ingredients like SAM-e, carnosine, resveratrol and TMG are not well advertised, because they are expensive substances which most vitamin manufacturers don't use to cut costs. There is a pharmaceutical company about to release a line of resveratrol supplements, but they are calling them prescription drugs. Many people who follow research studies on unique nutritional supplements have been taking resveratrol for years and will continue to do so without paying the prices that pharmaceutical companies charge.
Synthetic or Natural?
The problem with your typical multi-vitamin (other than a lack of the right ingredients and an enteric coating to protect those that are sensitive to stomach acid) is that most manufacturers use synthetic vitamins in place of natural substances. Synthetic vitamins are "similar" to those found in nature, but they are not "identical" and do not provide the same health benefits because they are more difficult for the body to absorb. There is an excellent example in recent studies done on vitamin E. There are many studies showing the health benefits of vitamin E. It is good for cell & tissue repair, for improved circulation, for the prevention of free radical damage, to reduce inflammation and the risk of cancer. But when these same researchers attempted to duplicate the results with a synthetic form of vitamin E, it did not provide the same health benefits. They found that synthetic vitamin E may actually be bad for your health because it is derived from petrochemicals. The point is that most vitamin companies do not use the correct (natural) form of a nutrient and they do not use the correct delivery system, which is almost always a tablet with an enteric coating. Here is the good news. Through years of research and sheer determination to find a product that would provide everything mentioned above, I have found one nutritional supplement providing everything we have discussed.To get every nutrient we have discussed above as well as the following nutrients listed below: Call Dr. Lawrence Sosna at 760-481-8800 or email at larrysosna@yahoo.com
· Vitamin D
· Minerals, including magnesium, calcium, zinc and potassium
· Trace elements, including molybdenum and iodine
· Carotenoids, (A-vitamins in vegetable forms)
· Enzymes, including lipase and amylase and protease(breaks down fats, sugars and proteins)
· Other amino acids, including, lysine, arginine, taurine and proline
· Herbal extracts including ginkgo biloba and green tea

The Four Foundations to Perfect Health
In this on going course we will delve deeply into Mastering the Four Foundations to Perfect Health!
Physical Perfections to Health
Mental Clarifications to Perfect Health
Emotional Growth to Perfect Health
Spiritual Deepening, Increasing Your Capacity to Love leads to Perfect Health
Most people think about good health in terms of being physically healthy and on a very surface level that seems true. Yet we all know people in our lives or have heard about people who have become so emotionally traumatized they became physically ill.
So good health is maintaining a healthy balance between our Physical body and our Mental body so to speak. It is creating a healthy balance between our Mental life and our Emotional life. The quality of our thoughts determines our Mental Health. The ease and flow of our feelings in large part determines our Emotional health...pent them up and block them off long enough and an emotional embalance will become so great as to tilt over the whole apple cart.
The ability to experience love and joy and to share love and joy with others determines Spiritual Health.
So, for once lets not start with Physical Health, Let us focus first this time on Spiritual Health, then Emotional Health, then Mental Health and finally we will end this conversation about perfected states of excellent health with Physical Health.
Every spiritual tradition has its own way of describing the above 4 Foundations to a healthy, abundantly joyful and physically vital life. From Christianity to Taoism, Zen to Judaism, Islam to Zohar, Buddhism to Shintoism, all these great spiritual teachings transcend the secular. They all speak to a higher and greater source from which all is created, all is sustained, and all eventually in time decay and are transformed from the decaying of all of the constituent parts back to the creational force which then starts again in a never ending cycle of creation, sustainer of that which has been created to its eventual transformation as a new kind of creation once again.
Or more simply put the cycle of Birth, Death, and Rebirth must be looked at and understood in the light of a deeper wisdom if we are to take away something very useful to help us be well in our daily life.
The universal path I refer to is spoken about in all the rich diversity that great minds can communicate. Some of these universal experiences common to all human kind are: paths to love and joy, fear, laboring, suffering, knowledge, ignorance, fun, thirst, hunger and laughter to name just a few. I would say we as humans no matter how different our cultures have much more in common then anything which sets us apart.
It is this human commonality we all have with one another which allows us to all feel happy when we see a picture on T.V. of a complete strangers wedding. When we see the love and joy of the new bride and groom, even if they are from a far off land.... we still can feel some happy feelings from their joy.
It is that magical feeling all Americans had on 9/11 of being united in grief as ONE family of Americans, feeling the horror and the pain of families stricken down even though we may not have known any of them personally. The incredible acts of kindness we all wanted to share.... to do something to help the other.... give blood or make a donation... we all wanted to just be able to help and reach out to those who suffered the most.
In my 57 years on this planet that day and in the ensuing days to follow...it was a clear and tangible example of the power of our connection to each other through our spirit we were connected in a moment of oneness through our joined spirits. It was in fact, one of the most Spiritually significant periods in American history... and it demonstrates the healing power of the spirit as we all felt spiritually connected to each other, one spirit to another. We were gentle with each other, we were being kind to one another, as we all connected to the real shared human feelings that we all have, which made a country wide statement " I am Vulnerable" We all felt it from one another without any words needed spoken and we all felt a certain added love & respect for one another right after 9/11
Today we look at the power of Spiritual Transformation in our lives as a catalyst to help us enter into more perfected states of Excellent good Health. Central to virtually all spiritual traditions, is the idea that each person has the ability to grow in holding more love and joy and the enhanced ability of extending that love and joy to others, would be an example of Spiritual Growth and Good Health.
Keep coming back as this is a course which really never ends. Many guest contributors will add to this body of knowledge leading to perfected states of excellent good health.
Many Blessings in perfect health, Dr. Larry

Whole foods versus Supplements
Whole Natural Foods versus Supplements and Nutraceuticals
There has long been a raging debate in the natural health care profession concerning the issue of whether a person should get all their nutritional needs from Whole Foods or is it ok to take highly dense and specific nutrient supplementation?
I love listening to experts in this debate... I get to hear and discern the opinion of nutritional PhD plant based medicinal biochemists and PhD’s liked me, as well as the opinion and Wisdom of Traditional doctors of Naturopathy, again like me. I love to listen to my peers. In the end you will have to decide for yourself what you feel and come to know is best for you.
I am always being told by various factions that my two areas of some 30 plus years of expertise in natural medicine and science do not mesh, and you know what, sometimes they don’t, but far more often they do mesh very elegantly.
A hundred years ago, I would say all you need to do is eat lots of whole raw foods and drink plenty of water, get some moderate sunshine so your body can make Vitamin D and you should live a long and healthy life. The proof that I would be correct is that folks from that time like my grandmother grew up on a farm and had access to plenty of raw foods lived to be 100 old. If we look deeply into this subject we will find that people who lived on farms a 100 years ago and folks who lived near farms and could buy their foods directly from very local farms, lived long and healthy lives.
When my grandmother was growing up she drank fresh raw milk every day. Raw milk contains billions of antibodies that protect you from all sorts of illness, but it is very hard to drink raw milk today because the government in all its wisdom has made it illegal. However if you would like to get the massive health benefits found in mother’s milk and all the immunity it provides for babies and very young children..
Read my article on Non Denatured Whey called “Whey Facts and Applications”
A hundred years ago farm lands were rich in top soil and contained all the micronutrients like selenium; perhaps the most cancer preventing agent ever discovered; but unfortunately that was a very long time ago. Today all the farms are owned by massive corporations and farming is now both mechanized and assembly line industries. There are no micronutrients left in the soil anymore, they have all been leached out by the methods of modern day over farming of the land. Everything has been sprayed with synthetic chemical herbicides and pesticides so as to glean maximum yield. Even the Macro minerals are missing from the soil in most cases so that we now have the richest country on earth, but we have an entire population of people with nutritional deficiencies; one would expect to find in a very third world country. Ironic is it not? It is also a tragic situation that we can, in just one state Iowa, produce enough protein (Soy) to meet the world’s needs for protein 3 times over, but our food is so overly processed and tainted with all kinds of toxic additives, that we cannot meet our own nutritional needs for excellent health in the USA. In fact just the opposite is true, the foods we are eating as Americans lead to the highest rates of cancer and heart disease in the world. We have more blooming adult onset cases of diabetes in younger and younger people then any country in the world. We are fast becoming so ill and disease ridden that the largest growing industry has virtually every citizen over the age of 30 on some kind of medication. Pills, from the big Pharmaceutical companies accounts for roughly 1.3 trillion dollars a year in sales in the USA alone...that is not counting their income from the export of their drugs to all the other countries of the world, so long as they have a corporate headquarters in Puerto Rico they do not have to report their world wide income, an arrangement made possible by the Rockefeller family and several of the other wealthiest families in America just after WW2.
There is a sector of the economy in the USA which is growing even faster than the big Pharmaceutical companies which is the Natural Health food and Nutrient, Nutraceutical industry. I wonder why?
Because people are smart! They do not like all of the miserable, dangerous side effects of medication and in mass driven waves, they are turning to Alternative Health, including supplementation. Food and nutritional supplements are today growing at a speed which is much faster than the drug industry. Why? Once again the common folk are smart, they do not like the way drugs make them feel, very nasty side effects, they wish to be rid of. They get on the great equalizer...the internet, go to a search engine and find real workable alternatives, they find safe and effective ways of regaining their god given right to good health.... they become self empowered and learn about whole foods, the biochemistry magic of plant based nutrient dense food supplements and most of all they love to do a friend the kind favour of spreading the word.
If we cannot get our nutritional needs met as a population through food then the only logical thing to do is take dietary supplements and eat the best you can. Eat as much organic produce, fish and meat as you can afford, it is very expensive and it is worth it. I know it’s almost impossible for the whole population of America to eat organic so try this strategy. The thing you know you are going to eat every day like milk in your cereal, including your cereal itself should be bought organic. I eat an organic breakfast every day. I know I cannot get all the nutrition I need from commercial foods so I take many excellent supplements.
I take a fantastic Multi-Vitamin, Mineral, and Anti-Oxidant formula every day made by a real Bio-Technology company which only specializes in nutritional and Nutraceutical supplements.
With both ISO 9001 and ISO 17025 Lab. Certification they are my number one choice in the world for purity and potency and integrity in how they make their supplements. They have over 1000 separate supplement formulations so I almost have after 30 plus years in this field a one stop shop that I can always Trust. I use no more than 7 companies for my particular needs and I will be naming them and showing you how to purchase from them soon.
The other reason for Supplementation is if you are in the care of a true expert in this field, you can have a custom made program of Nutritional and Nutraceutical supplements to protect your cells and your body from diseases caused by all of the toxins in our foods and in the air and soil. The toxic level of environmental pollutants on land and sea is so high that one needs to know how to deactivate them with proper supplements made from all natural sources...which means bio-medicinal plant based supplements.
Much more on this subject will be coming to you in the days and weeks ahead so keep coming back to the place where NATURAL HEALTH WISDOM is the difference which makes all the difference.
All my best, Doc Larry at NatDoc.blogspot.com

Whey Facts and Applications
Whey Protein Facts and Applications
Dr. Lawrence Sosna
The word Protein means “first substance”. Our first protein food was found in our mother’s milk. Milk is the only food designed specifically to optimally sustain the life of a mammal. In fact, the root word for nutrition means to suckle. As a species, we would not have survived if not for the nutrition and protection mother’s milk offers.
Now for the first time, you can get the same full value, protection and super health empowerments of concentrated live mother’s milk only better!
Whey is one of the two protein groups found in milk. It is a liquid complex consisting of a wide range of proteins. The other protein group is casein, which curds are made from and then processed into cheese.
Whey is an original complete protein food and is considered number one for building and regenerating our bodies and maintaining a strong immune system. Our entire metabolic process relies on the intake of complete protein. We cycle proteins into amino acids constantly.
Hippocrates, the Greek physician of the 5th century B.C., the “father of medicine”, stated that the body has an inner adaptive or healing power. To strengthen this healing power, he prescribed serum (liquid whey) to his patients. It was true non-denatured, native whey. It provided full biological activity and numerous health benefits. All commercial whey proteins available now are derived from extensively processed milk and incomparable to the vitality in that 2500 year-old prescription.
It is appropriate to review some important definitions of terms used:
Native Protein: The naturally occurring conformation of a protein. Unaltered by heat, chemicals, enzyme action or processing. (Native is the same structure and proportion as in the original substance.)
Denatured: To cause the tertiary structure of (a protein) to unfold, as with heat, alkali, or acid, so that some of its original properties, especially its biological activity, are diminished or eliminated. (It means damaged or ruined.)
Undenatured: To undamage. (A term that is used without discretion in the industry and is misleading. It is not possible for a protein to be Undenatured. Once the tertiary structure of a protein has be damaged, degraded or destroyed it can never be brought back to its original non-denatured, fully bio-active state. The word undenatured has no place at all in biochemisty, it’s use is simply an attempt to trick the public into thinking that Undenatured Whey Protein is the same as Non-Denatured Whey Protein. Once a protein has been Denatured (Damaged) it is impossible to Undenature the same protein or to Un-damage it, so buyer beware)
Non-denatured: The same structure and proportion as in the original substance with full biological activity. (Never damaged.)
Presently, the various commercial methods of processing whey do not improve or even maintain the fragile immune modulating and regenerative components or the biological activity that was originally in the milk. They all originate from the manufacturing of cheese and are by-products.
There are three commercial production methods, which comprise the majority of available whey proteins. They are isolates (the most popular), ion-exchange and hydrolyzed forms. They are all ultra filtered, cross-flow filtered or micro filtered via elaborate patented methods developed by large dairies. The milk used in these three methods undergoes major processing that involves high heat (163 degrees F) and drastic acidification of the whey to produce curds for manufacturing cheese. These steps denature (damage) the proteins. What is then required is extensive filtration to remove the many denatured proteins in order to produce the highest percentage of protein. Unfortunately the fragile vital protein components, which determine the biological activity of the protein, are not retained. The terms undenatured and cold-process are prevalent with these commercial products, but once a protein is denatured it is not possible to undenature it.
The key point in regard to the quality and effectiveness of whey is that the full range of biological activity and proportion of the protein components be preserved in their original native form as nature provided. Only whey that is not involved in cheese manufacture can achieve that goal. Additionally, the health of the milking cows and quality of the milk is the foundation of this type of product.
Non-denatured whey protein has the highest biological value of any protein. It is a complete protein, unlike soy, and provides all the essential amino acids in the correct balance. The five major active proteins of whey are lactoferrin, immunoglobulins, bovine serum albumin, alpha-lactalbumin and beta-lactoglobulin. There are many whey products available; therefore it is highly advisable to have in writing from the manufacturer, the treatment of the cows, the entire processing the milk undergoes and if cheese is part of the original production. Also request a written laboratory analysis that lists the percentage values for each individual protein. The SDS PAGE Gel method is the industry standard for determining the actual biological activity of a protein. An analysis that groups two or more proteins together with a percentage number is very questionable and worthless to a discriminating professional or consumer.
Covalent Bonded Cysteine (the non-denatured form), is the critical amino acid required for the all-important intracellular production of the antioxidant glutathione (GSH). Glutathione is our body’s master antioxidant and is responsible for numerous defence and repair functions and is an effective anti-aging substance. Glutathione is best utilized when we produce it internally. Cysteine is very scarce in our modern diet and therefore glutathione production is limited and deficiency is prevalent. If cysteine undergoes any heating or processing, as all commercial whey products do, it is denatured and converted to cystine. Covalent-bonded cysteine, active peptides, anabolic growth factors and enzymes are also present in non-denatured native whey, as there is no processing to denature them.
The public is now becoming more aware of the value of quality protein and is choosing whey protein for many good reasons. Not only does non-denatured whey have a wide range of immune-enhancing properties, it also has the ability to act as an antioxidant, antihypertensive, antitumor, antiviral and antibacterial. A number of clinical trials have successfully been performed using whey as an antimicrobial agent and in the treatment of cancer, HIV, hepatitis B & C, cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis. It has a major role in red blood cell production, support in chemotherapy treatment, safe binding and detoxification of heavy metals, wound healing, growth of new muscle, weight regulation and the support of numerous immune functions. It is used by populations that have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), Fibromyalgia, Hepatitis, Cancer, HIV/AIDS, Respiratory disease, cognitive disorder from nutritional compromise and for any sports performance improvement.
Dr. Lawrence Sosna Graduated first in his class from the Fairfield College of Myopractics Massage Therapy and Allied Therapies. He is a N.D. and has a PhD in Myology with an emphasis in Orthomolecular Biochemistry. He Graduated with another Naturopathic degree from the NHI.

The word Protein means “first substance”. Our first protein food was found in our mother’s milk. Milk is the only food designed specifically to optimally sustain the life of a mammal. In fact, the root word for nutrition means to suckle. As a species, we would not have survived if not for the nutrition and protection mother’s milk offers.
Now for the first time, you can get the same full value, protection and super health empowerments of concentrated live mother’s milk only better!
Whey is one of the two protein groups found in milk. It is a liquid complex consisting of a wide range of proteins. The other protein group is casein, which curds are made from and then processed into cheese.
