Carnitine is sometimes difficult for the body to absorb when taking other medications, even aspirin. Acetyl-N-carnitine should not be taken with other medications.

“Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids are essential for health. The Journal of the National Cancer Institute reported in 1986 that Omega 3 can kill breast, lung and prostate cancer cells stone dead - and “have a potential clinical usefulness in cancer treatment.”

Challem again: “About a teaspoonful of organic flaxseed oil every day also goes a long way to inhibit cardiovascular disease, adult diabetes, some skin diseases and rheumatoid arthritis. Other good sources of linoleic acid and alpha-linoleic acid are linseed oil, pumpkin seeds, walnuts, soybeans and canola, borage and fish oils. Omega 3s are powerful anti-inflammatory nutrients, which explains why they are helpful in rheumatoid arthritis; by minimizing inflammation they cut down on the body's production of free radicals. Fish oils reduce the risk of blood clots and can lower blood pressure and triglycerides, a blood fat linked to coronary heart disease. Fish oils [sardines are good], which turn off the production of free radicals in white blood cells (which the body uses to kill bacteria), can also raise cholesterol. Garlic lowers cholesterol.”

Instead of “mixing and matching” various brands and dosages, the best way to ensure daily supplementation at levels that increase energy and help ward off disease is to take a high-quality, all-inclusive supplement package.

One of the most significant research discoveries of 20th century medicine came in recognizing the importance of “anti-rusting” anti-oxidants in countering the corrosive cellular action of "free radicals" released by the oxidation of food and pollutants in the human body. Linked to degenerative diseases, short-lived but highly destructive free radicals are triggered by polluted air, water and food; high-fat junk food diets, sedentary lack of exercise, and smoking.

But not all vitamins are created with equal integrity. When the world-renowned creator of the Epstein-Barr diagnostic kit became convinced that disease prevention was preferred over its detection, he realized that proper nutrition - and daily supplementation as required to fill in the many blanks left in North American diets and soils - is the basis of health.

But when he subjected vitamin supplements commonly available in supermarkets and drugstores to thorough tests at his Gull Laboratories, this immunologist found that “bargain” supplements were no bargains at all.

After clinically evaluating 13 types of Vitamin C, Wentz found every one to be derived from inferior ingredients. When he fed popular, off-the-shelf vitamins and minerals to his cell cultures, the cells curled up and died. The microbiologist discovered that the nutrients he had picked at random were not being supplied in their proper proportions. Nor did they include the necessary “co-factors” needed to activate vitamins and ensure their full cellular absorption and benefit.

As a result, the hit-and-miss approach of buying different vitamins at random leads to an excess of some nutrients and deficiencies in others. Dr. Wentz found that unlike properly formulated vitamins and minerals, which remain in the bloodstream and tissues to feed cells, most drugstore brands pass right through the body - confirming the popular conception of “expensive urine.”

His lab results also showed that most over-the-counter supplements contain stearic acid binders that prevent tablets from releasing minerals, or completely dissolving in the body. Color coatings commonly contain aluminum, which has been linked to, I forget… oh yes, Alzheimer's.

In actualizing his dream of a world free from the pain and suffering of disease, Dr. Myron Wentz further found grape-seed extract to be one of the most powerful immune-boosters ever discovered. When treating Gulf War Illness, Dr. Garth Nicholson and his wife also favored grape-seed extract for helping to rebuild damaged immune systems. In addition, the GWI specialists also recommended bioflavonoids, Coenzyme Q-10, beta-carotene, biotin, L-cysteine and L-tyrosine.

In addition, herbs such as ginseng, garlic, ginkgo-biloba, miso, shitake mushrooms, and Echinacea are also among the top laboratory-proven immune-builders. Whey contains enough cysteine to boost immunity by up to 500%.

In his laboratory, Dr. Wentz began putting together pharmaceutical grade vitamins, herbs and chelated minerals under “batch-by-batch” quality control in the precise combinations and dosages needed to produce noticeable health improvements in his family and friends.

Convinced by a business friend to make his extraordinary health supplements publicly available, Dr. Wentz founded his company in Salt Lake City. Now in 13 countries around the globe, his spectacularly successful enterprise is one of a few health science companies that manufacture most of its supplements in its own constantly inspected and upgraded, state-of-the-art facility. After his experience with misleading labeling, every dietary supplement produced there carries an independently certified potency guarantee, ensuring that what is stated on the label is actually contained in the product.

In making his health science products available to the wider public, Dr. Wentz and his advisers devised a laterally-spreading networking plan that benefits all participants. But he cautioned anyone who is really sick against popping handfuls of any high-potency vitamins and minerals without first checking with their personal physician. The resulting rapid detoxification, he and other researchers noted, can overload sick bodies with poisons suddenly released from fatty tissues. Purchasers of his high-powered supplements who suffered from super-toxicity were likely to initially grow even worse before markedly improving as the body cleansed itself.

In order to flush the body of toxins and keep the brain's electro-chemical “battery” fully hydrated, most doctors recommended that we drink at least eight glasses of pure, unchlorinated water every day. In rare cases, if extreme discomfort occurs, Wentz and others suggested, daily supplement dosages should be cut back.
