Before the year 2000, very few doctors ever considered the possibility that you might be vitamin D deficient.

But as the technology to measure vitamin D became inexpensive and widely available, more and more studies were done, and it became increasingly clear that vitamin D deficiency was absolutely rampant. For example, according to one of the leading vitamin D researchers, Dr. Michael Holick:

  • The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that 32 percent of children and adults throughout the US were vitamin D deficient — and this is grossly underestimated as they used vitamin D levels that were not consistent with optimal health.
  • The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey found that 50 percent of children aged one to five years, and 70 percent of children between the ages of six and 11, are deficient or insufficient in vitamin D
  • Researchers such as Dr. Holick estimate that 50 percent of the general population is at risk of vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency

Pomegranate’s antioxidant activity is known to inhibit cell proliferation and invasion, and promote apoptosis (cell death) in various cancer cells. In one study, pomegranate extract was found to inhibit the growth of human breast cancer cells by inducing cell death. According to the University of Maryland Medical Center:
“In test tubes, pomegranate extracts made from juice, rind, and oil slow down the reproduction of cancer cells and may hasten their death. Some extracts also help reduce blood supply to tumors, starving them and making them smaller. Most studies have focused on breast and prostate cancer cells. In one other study, pomegranate juice extract given to mice slowed down the growth of lung tumors. However, most of these studies have been in test tubes or in animals, not humans.” http://sundardasnaturopathy.com/CLINICAL%20NUTRITION.htm

Would your teenaged son buy the same clothes as his grandmother? Probably not. But when they get sick, they’re likely receive just about the same treatment and drug choices. And so will everyone else. That’s because even the world’s best scientists and doctors have limited knowledge of how different people respond to different treatments. The result is a “one size fits all” approach to medicine.

That’s changing. Personalized medicine is moving us closer to more precise, predictable and powerful medicine—customized for the individual patient. Our growing understanding of genetics is allowing us to provide better diagnoses, safer prescribing, and more effective treatment of the diseases and conditions that have affected us throughout history.

Cryptomonadales with PPARs otherwise known as Dr PPARS is rich in protein. About 60% of its weight is the composition of various amino acids. This is 300~400% more protein than beef or fish.  It is a complete plant protein with 20 amino acids (It is the amino acids that build needed neuropeptides which feed the delicate neurotransmitters or “chemical messengers” of the brain and its nervous system.)  Therefore, Dr PPARs is one of the highest natural sources of DNA and RNA. Dr PPARs has an abundance of EFAs – Essential Fatty Acids (? 3 & 6).)

Dr PPARs are also filled with chlorophyll, phycocyanin and super-oxide dismutase, SOD (antioxidant) and various carotenoids. It is one of the richest sources of nature’s pigments: chlorophyll and beta-carotene.  Alpha and Beta-carotene with antioxidant power hundreds of time more protective than vitamin E and C. Many other antioxidants in the form of mixed-carotenoids: lycopene, lutein, quercitin, astaxanthin and many more.

It contains Phycocyanin – A natural powerful blue anti-oxidant with anti-viral, anti-inflammatory properties. Research has shown that Phycocyanin plays a major role in Adult Stem Cell Regeneration. Increase in bone marrow blood cells – Red/White/Platelets.  It contains 12 vitamins and 23 minerals and trace elements all in organic, usable form. The vitamins include: beta-carotene, B-1, B-2, B-6, B-12, vitamin C, niacin, choline, folic acid, pantothenic acid, biotin, vitamin k, vitamin E. Its minerals include: calcium, chlorine, chromium, cobalt, copper, germanium, iodine, iron, magnesium, manganese, nickel, phosphorous, potassium, selenium, sodium, zinc.

It contains more vitamin B-12 than beef liver, therefore it is an excellent plant source of vitamin B-12 that is often lacking in many vegetarian diets. http://sundardasnaturopathy.com/CLINICAL%20NUTRITION.htm
